POPE DISPLEASED
HEAD OF CATHOLIC CHURCH FA
VORS REMOVAL OF FRIARS.
THE DEMANDS ARE REASONABLE
Pontiff i« Intensely Displeased with
Action of Commission of Cardinals
—To Treat with Judge Taft Person
ally—As to Future Negotiations.
LONDON, July 19.—The Rome cor
respondent of the Dally Chronicle says
the pope is intensely displeased at the
way in chlch the commission of car
dinals has conducted the negotiations
with Judge Tatf in the matter of the
friars in the Philippines.
‘‘I learn from an authoritative
source," says the correspondent, “that
besides annulling the proceedure of
the commission of cardinals the pope
has summarily dissolved It, express
ing his views that the American de
mands were reasonable and signifying
his readiness to treat with Judge Taft
petsonally." ,
ROME, July 19.—The following note
from the Vatican was presented to
Governor Taft last night:
"I hasten to acknowledge the receipt
of the letter by which you kindly com
municated to me the cablegram from
Secretary Root, answering my note
of July 9, which explained the counter
project of the Vatican for the regula
tion of religious affairs in the Philip
pines. While thanking you for this
important communication, I am hap
py to assure you that the holy see
has learned with the liveliest satisfac
tion the high consideration in which
Mr. Root and the government of the
United States holds ihe fitness of the
measures, which the Vatican inde
pendently of the solution of any
economic question designed taking to
ameliorate the religious situation In
the archipelago and to co-operate in
the pacification of the people under
American sovereignty. The measures
are indicated in iny memorandum of
Juno 21, and by letter of July 9. These
declarations of Mr. Root do honor tc
the deep political wisdom of the gov
ernment of the United States, which
knows how to appreciate the happy
lufluence of the holy see for the relig
ious and civil elevation of the people,
especially Catholics.
“With equal satisfaction the pontiff
has taken into account the assurances
of Secretary Root that the American
authorities in the Philippines and at
Washington will put. forth all possi
ble efforts to maintain the good un
derstanding happily established with
tile authorities of the Catholic church.
On his part the pontiff will not fall
to give the apostolic delegation soon
to be sent to the Philippines the most
precise Instructions according to my
former notes.
“The lines for future negotiations.
Indicated In the notes having been
accepted by Secretary Root, the rep
resentative of the Vatican in the archi
pelago wil lenter into relations with
the authorities in the Philippines on
the four points Indicated by Mr. Root
at the end of his cablegram.
“The holy see does not doubt that
mutual confidence combined with the
action of the American government
will readily produce a happy solution
of the pending questions, auguring for
that now country an era of peace and
true progross.
"It is my agreeable duty in ending
this letter to be able to render homage
to the very great courtesy and high
capacity with which you have filled
the delicate mission which the gov
ernment and president of the United
States delegated to you. Willingly l
add that the favorable result of the
negotiations must be attributed in
very large part to your high personal
qualities.
"While flattering myself that this
first success will be a guarantee of the
happy issue of ulterior negotiations
iu Manila, 1 have the honor to be,
etc., RAMPOLIA.”
Governor Taft was informed last
night that the pope had fixed July 21
for his farewell audience. Governor
Taft will start Saturday for Vallom
brosa, near Florence, where he will
stay with his family until Monday,
when he will return for his audience
with the pope.
Fight a Fatal Duel.
WICHITA. Kan., July 19.—Dr. H.
G. Greenland and Ben Bearman fought
a duel in a saloon at Okarche, O. T.,
after midnight this morning. Dr.
Greenland was shot through the heart
and died instantly. Bearman was
shot in the head, but not fatally.
King Finally Fixes Date.
LONDON, July 19.—An official no
tification was issued yesterday morn
ing that by the king's command the
coronation of King Edward and Queen
Alexandra will take place August 9.
Rehearsals of the processions from
Buckingham palace to Westminster
abbey took place yesterday morning
and the officials of the various state

BALFOUR IS IN THE CHAIR.
New Premier Presides at the First
Meeting of the New Cabinet.
LONDON, July 18.—The premier,
A. J. Balfour, presided in the foreign
office st the first cabinet meeting of
the new administration.
The colonial secretary, Joseph
Chamberlain, was sufficiently recov
ered from the effects of the cab acci
dent to be able to attend. He was
pole, but otherwise showed no signs
of his injuries.
The meeting o' the cabinet gave
fresh impetus to the reconstruction
reports. The most interesting of
these for America is the suggestion
that the duke of Marlborough will
succeed Lord Curzon of Kendleston
as viceroy of India, but there is not
the least possibility of any such ap
pointment.
It apears very doubtful if Lord Cur
zon will come home before the ex
piration of his term of office. As a
matter of fact, there is no appoint
ment which could be offered him, ex
cept the foreign office, which would
be a promotion from the viceroyalty
of India, and there is no indication
that Lord I-ansdowne has any inten
tion of retiring.
DREAM OF CECIL RHODES.
Before Many Years Opening Up of
Dark Continent by Rail.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—Before
many years the world may be aston
ished to find that the long fostered
dream of the late Cecil Rhodes for
the oenlng up of the Dark Continent
has become a reality, and that a con
secutive line of steel rails will
stretch from Cairo to Cape Town.
The state department made public to
day an Interesting report on railroad
development in Africa from United
States Consul Kavendal, at Beirut,
bearing date of May 10. The consul
says that by an agreement signed at
Brussels the previous month by Rob
ert Williams with the king of the
Belgians the German route was aban
doned and the railway from Cairo to
the cape is to be carried through the
Congo Free State to the upper wat
ers of the Nile. From Stanley Falls
on the upper Congo a railroad Is to
be built to Mahagl on Lake Albert
Nyanza, and this connection will sup
ply the missing link between the cape
and Egyptian railways.
CROMWELL CONFERS WITH HAY.
Discusses Panama Canal Question
While on a Visit.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—Mr. Crom
well, of counsel of the Panama Canal
company, had an Interview with Sec
retary Hay today respecting the isth
mian canal project. Mr. Cromwell
will sail Saturday for Paris, where he
will be in position to render any de
sired assistance to Attorney General
Knox and Mr. Russell in reference to
the settlement of the title to the Pan
ama canal.
Save the general statement that the
negotiations between the United
States and Colombia are progressing
satisfactorily, neither party at today's
conference had any statement to make
as to what took place.
Mr. Corea and Mr. Calve, represent
ing Nicaragua and Costa Rica, had
long interviews with Secretary Hay
on the canal question. They have not
abandoned hope that the choice of a
route will yet revert to Nicaragua.
TO REBUILD THE CAMPANILE.
Offers of Money, Some from America,
for the Purpose Received.
VENICE, Italy, July 18.—Offers of
money to aid in rebuilding the cam
panile continue to be received from
abroad, including offers from Ameri
ca. but there is a disposition to make
its reconstruction a purely national
affair and to rebuild the structure
exactly as it was prior to the collapse
without foreign assistance. The cost
is estimated at 6,000,000 lire.
The bronze gate of the Logetta of
San SoVino was found beneath the
debris, twisted and with one of the
lions broken. There is hope that the
pictures by Tintoretto and others
may be saved.
Three-fourths of the piazza of San
Marco is covered with debris and
traffic is completely stopped.

work assigned him hv the secretary of
war in connection with the radical

army.
Root to Sail for Europe.
WASHINGTON, July 18.—Secretary
Hoot will sail for Europe July 24 on
La Savoie. He had contemplated sail
ing August 2 and had engaged pass
age for that date, but received an
invitation from General Horace Por
ter, United States ambassador to
France, to sail with him on the Sa

WORK ONCE MORE
STRIKING FREIGHT HANDLERS
TAKE THEIR OLD PLACES.
ACTIVITY ACAIN IS THE ORDER
Immense Quantities of Freight Rush
ed Out by the Wholesale Merchants
—Estimated Cost of the Strike is
Ten Million Dollars.
CHICAGO, July 17.—Renewed activ
ity on the part of Chicago business
men followed the settlement of the
freight handlers’ and teamsters’ strike
yesterday and at the close of business
hours thousands of tons of freight
had been sent to and from the various
freight depots. Every one of the 24,
000 who could obtain employment had
returned to work by 2 o’clock ia the
afternoon. The strike, it is estimated,
cost the business men of Chicago $10,
000,000 and in order to guard against
a contingency in the future they are
preparing to inaugurate an eduea
Xonal campaign in opposition to the
sympathetic strike.
a ue lauuz unions win uc usiveu 10
forego the use of this impotent
weapon. Business interests which
suffered during the strike will join in
pledging themselves, it is said, not to
sign union agreements which do not
guard them against these strikes.
On the other hand the labor unions
are fighting to secure the right to ab
rogate agreements for the purpose of
ordering sympathetic strikes.
The freight handlers blame the na
tional officers of the teamsters for the
loss of the strike. They declare that
the strike show's the necessity for in
corporating in all agreements a re
servation which will permit strikes.
Credit for the settlement rests with
the state board of arbitration. It was
the adoption of the suggestion of that
board which led to the action of the
freight handlers’ union in declaring1
the struggle with the railroads at an
end.
At the same time it Is probable that'
even had the state board not made its
suggestions, the fight would have been
practically over today, as the major
ity of the freight handlers had re
turned to work beore the mass meet
ing at which the strike was called
off officially had convened. It W’as a
knowledge of this fact that had much
to do with the action taken by the:
union. However, the proposition made
by the state board of arbitration en
abled the freight handlers to retire1
gracefully from the field.
MEET DEATH IN UTAH MINE.
Powder Magazine Explodes at the
Twelve-Hundred-Foot Level.
PARK CITY. Utah, July 17.—Two.
powder magazines at the 1,200-foot
level of the Daly-West mine exploded}
about 1 o'clock this morning, causing'
a loss of life that at present cannot
be estimated nor even guessed at.
At 4 o'clock twenty-seven men had'
been taken out of the mine dead and
several others had been recovered in
a half-dazen condition. These were
all brought out through the Ontario
mine shaft, which is a mile distant
from tlie Daly-West, in which the ex
plosion occurred. The 1,200-foot lev-'
cl of the Daly-West corresponds to,
and is connected by tunnel with the1
COO-foot level of the Ontario.
In the Daly-West between 100 and
150 men were at work. In the On
tario were nearly 100, it is believed.
PARK CITY, Utah, July 17.—Thir
ty-five miners were killed in the Daly
West and Ontario mines—twenty-nine
in the Daly-West and six in the.On
tario. The disaster was the result of
an explosion occasioned by John
Burgy, a miner, going into one of the
magazines of the Daly-West with a
lighted candle. His act cost him his
life and the lives of many other min
ers beside. His body was blown to
atoms. All the other victims are rec
ognizable, their laces being easily
identified by relatives and friends.

Blackberry Crop.
All things considered, says Country
Life in America, the blackberry has
been our most profitable bush fruit.
It is a heavy cropper, a fairly reliable
yielder, easily picked, continues many
years in profitable fruitfulness, and
generally is in good demand. Its dis
advantages are softness for long-dis
tance shipment, a slight tendency to
scald, and a season of fruiting that
brings it into direct competition with
peaches. However, this real disadvan
tage of season often becomes a decided
advantage during a short peach crop,
which often occurs. It then has the
market to itself without a dangerous
competitor.

AUDITORIUM STOCK CONTEST.
Number of Tickets Sold and Interest
in It Increasing Every Day.
Interest in the Auditorium Stock
Contest, which was opened in Omaha
July 1, has increased steadily every
day since that time and the project
promises to be a great success in ev
ery way. The plan adopted for dispos
ing of a sufficient amount of the com
mon stock of the Omaha Auditorium
Company to complete and furnish
what will be the largest and handsom
est building of its kind in the north
west, is very simple. The common
stock has been divided into shares of
twenty-five cents each, and with each
share the purchaser is given two
guesses, one on a special prize and one
on a list of 1,001 prizes.
The capital prize of $5,000 in gold,
contributed by the Defiance Starch
Co. of Omaha, Neb., and 1,000 other
prizes, ranging in value from $2.50 up
to $3,500, contributed by the business
men of Omaha, will be awarded im
mediately after the election next No
vember, but the contest for them has
already opened, and will close Octo
ber 28, or as much sooner as the
shares of stock are sold. The capital
prize will be awarded to the person
guessing closest to the total ‘vote
which will be cast for governor of
New York, November 4, 1902, and the
other prizes to the 1,000 persons mak
ing the next closest guesses. The total
vote at the last five elections was:
1891, 1,165,085; 1894, 1,275,671; 1896,
1,434,046; 1898, 1,359,190; 1900, 1,556,
520.
There will be seven more special
cash prizes, to be awarded the first and
fifteenth of each month until Novem
ber, and persons buying tickets now
have one guess with each share of
stock on them as well as on the other
prizes. Each special prize will be in
cash, and not less than $50 nor more
than $500. The prize, divided into
small bills and “change will be di
vided and put into two sacks without
being counted, and the person gues
sing nearest the amount in the larger
sack will be given the contents of both
sacks. The contest is not confined to
residents of Omaha or limited to any
number of tickets. Anyone desiring
further information or tickets should
address Omaha Auditorium Co.,
Omaha, Nebraska.
Big Demand for Jockeys.
So many of the ablest and most

ranged, the admission to which is
one-half bushel of grasshoppers. At
the first entertainment—a dance—
seventy-five half bushels 01 grass

What Might Have Been.
Sonoma, Mich., July 21st.—Mr. De

I could have had Dodd’s Kidney Pills
25 years ago I would not now be crip
pled as I am.”
Mr. Hutchins *pent from 1861 to
1864 in the swamps of Louisiana as
a northern soldier and with the re
sult that he contracted Rheumatism
which gave him much pain till Mr.
Fred Parker, the local druggist, ad
vised him to try Dodd’s Kidney Pills.
The first two boxes did not seem
to help him very much, but Mr. Park
er, knowing that Dodd’s Kidney Pills
would eventually cure him, pressed
Mr. Hutchins to continue and by the
time four boxes were used the short,
sharp, shooting pains which had tor
tured his back, hip, and legs were
entirely gone. Mr. Hutchins says:
“I can not tell you how much better
I am feeling. If it were not for the
way my hands, feet, and knees are
drawn out of shape I would be about
as good as ever." .. _

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.
' Not infrequently a young woman
finds It necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency,
when the laundryman or the home ser
vant cannot do it. Hence these direc
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When ^
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each cne with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
firo or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
