The Dominican foreign office has in formed Mr. Powell that it will pay the claim of J. Sala & Co. within a few days, accepting the American minis ter’s proposition for the adjustment of this claim. The Sala claim has been in dispute for some years. Sala was a French man who loaned money and supplied munitions of war to the late Presi dent Heureaux of the Dominican re public, about $215,000 in all. The Do minican government at first recogniz ed the claim, but afterward contest ed it. Sala died, leaving his claim to his wife, who is an American.

NEW YORK—Cardinal Gibbons ar rived here Tuesday on Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. A delegation of priests and laymen from Baltimore went down the bay on a revenue cutter to greet him and welcome him home. Heading the delegation were Rev. D. J. Stafford of Washington, Rev. B. Singleton of Baltimore, and R. B. Tibbett of Balti more, supreme president of the Cath olic Benevolent legion. The cardinal will remain in this city a guest at the home of Mrs. Kelly of Brooklyn, until Friday, when he will accompany the delegation to Balti more. When the welcoming party boarded Kaiser Wilhelm off Quaran tine Mr. Tibbett cade an address of welcome, to which the cardinal briefly responded. Another reception awaited the cardi nal, when he went ashore at Hoboken. The pier was crowded with ecclesi astical friends from this city. From the pier Cardina’ Gibbons and his party went to the Passionist monas tery at Hoboken. This afternoon ho will go to Brooklyn. The cardinal had a pleasant voyage and he said the ocean trip had recu perated his strength, which had been greatly taxed by the severe spell of fever he suffered, due tp the intense heat in Rome during the progress of the conclave. Of the new pontiff, the cardinal spoke in terms of the greatest enthus iasm. He said that the choice of the conclave had been most happy from an American viewpoint, as Piux X was deeply interested in the development of the church in this country and was singularly familiar with American in stitutions. The cardinal had several lengthy interviews with the pope re garding churoh affairs in this countrv. The cardinal was not inclined to dis cuss the probable policy of the new papal regime, but said that no radical changes in American church adminis tration would ensue. He said that one of the first steps taken by Piux X was to instruct his acting secretary of state, Mgr. Merry del Val, to provide for an extensive exhibit of the Vatican treasures at the St. Louis exposition. He said the exhibit would probably comprise some of the magnificent jub ilee gifts of the late pontiff and a num ber o£ rare historical manuscripts and maps from the Vatican library relat ing to the early settlement and mis sion work in the Louisiana Purchase territorry, most of which was pene trated by Catholic missionaries within a quarter of a century of the discovery of the continent.

This is positively the last money I will send you. I will not let you blackmail me any longer.” This, together with the torn frag : ments of a check, is said to be the text of a letter which has been piec ed together from the bits found in the apartments where John Kilpatrick, wealthy son of the late David Kilpat rick of Beatrice. Neb., was shot Mou* I day througn the heart. The case had begun to look like one ! of murder, but it is now thought that the first theory, suicide, is correct, and that Kilpatrick killed himself to escape his tormentor. J. E. Dambie, stepfather of the dead man, declared that sensational devel opments may grow out of the affair. He is quoted as saying: 1 "We know the woman to whom the letter was addressed. She is a young married woman, the mere mention of whose name would cause a sensation in New York City, as she is known to be a member of one of the most ex clusive social sets in the city. Wei now know enough to believe that it was suicide.” FREMONT CANAL SCHEME. Indications that the Route Has Been Agreed Upon. FREMONT—Private advices re ceived in this city from a representa tive of the Armour syndicate, one of the main backers of the canal project, j are to the effect that the engineers have already held their meeting and decided to recommend the Fremont' plan; that only the straightened con dition of the money market prevents the immediate financing of the canal and that as 'soon as the present strin gency in Wall street is past this ob stacle will be overcome. The Armour representative says that if the east ern owners of the Tliomson-Houston Electric Light company of Omaha take the block of stock in the canal scheme that they are expected to, which is about $1,000,000 of the $3, 000,000, the financing would be com pleted at once.

TRIED BY TIME. Eugene E. Lario, of 751 Twentieth Avenue, tick et seller in the Union Station, Denver, Col., says: “You are at lib erty to repeat what I first stated through our Denver papers about Doan’s Kidney Pills in the summer of 1899, for I have had no reason in the interim to change my opinion of the rem edy. I said when first interviewed that if I had a friend and ac- ' — quaintance suffering from backache or kidney trouble I would unhesitat ingly advise them to take Doan’s Kid ney Pills. I was subject to severe at tacks of backache, always aggravated if I sat long at a desk. It struck me that if Doan’s Kidney Pills performed half what they promised they might I at least help. This induced me to try the remedy. It absolutely stopped the backache. I have never had a pain or a twinge since.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid ney medicine which cured Mr. Lario will be mailed to any part of the United States on application. Address .
