girding the friar lands in the archipel
ago, the Vatican finds one very great
obstacle to the withdrawal of the
friars.
The Vatican would not object if the
expulsion of the friars were arranged
and carried out by anotner power, so
that the holy see would only have to
recognize the accomplished fact, but
it shrinks from appearing as a direct
party to the withdrawal, especially
since the religious orders are power
ful' in Home, and above all others in
the sacred college.
The efforts of the Vatican are 11
rected toward finding a way to con
sent to the withdrawal of tho friars
from the islands without appearing to
do so. In fact, the Vatican, it is be
lioved, would welcome a show Qt force
to which it could submit, It would
much prefer, however, a compromise
prohibiting the friars from returning
to the parishes they left in 1898, but
allowing them to remain where they
now are or where there is no local op
position to their ministration.
Tho cardinals appointed to discuss
Judge Taft's proposition were to meet
July 10, but a requiem mass for the
late King Albert of Saxony, to bo
celebrated In the Sistine chapel, in
which the pope and the cardinals will
assist, has necessitated a postpone
ment of the meeting.
The state department at Washing
ton has decided to press forward to
ward completion the Colombian
treaty looking to the acquisition of
right of way of the isthmian canal.
It is, proposed to have this treaty
ready to be submitted to the senate as
soon as it convenes in December.
An, Associated press dispatch says:
By adppting this course the state de
partment will remove, it is expected,
any chance of having tne agreement
already reached with Colombia dis
turbed by anything that may occur as
a result of political changes, for it i
the purpose to hold that such agree
ments, once duly entered upon, are
not subject to repudiation, even in the
event of a change of government The
protocol referred to was so definitely
drawn that' not many changes are ro
quired in order to adapt the Instru
ment for use as a treaty. No difficulty
is expected to result in securing an
abatement of the old provision In the
canal franchise, requiring the use of
French material only In the construc
tion of the canal, and tho state de
partment already has received an as
surance from tho French government
which it regards as meeting the objec
tion that has been made on that
score.
An Associated press report comes
from Johnstown, Pa., in regard. to the
recent mine disaster at that place,
as follows: The polling mill mine
has been worked for about fifty years.
Five or six years ago the section
where the disaster of yesterday oc
curred was opened. The minors fanci
fully called it the Klondike. It said
that for the past three years gas has
been noticed in it and careful inspec
tion was kept up. In the last three
years safety lamps had been carried
by the men. Frank Sabot, one of the
boys who met death in a heroic en
deavor to save his comrades, was
pafely out of the mine after the ex
plosion. He worked in the mine ever
since the Klondike was opened up.
After the explosion, he hastened into
the vault of death to do what ho
could to close the traps and check
the spread of the after-damp. He was
found lying near a partly closed door
leading off to one of the left headinga.
Outside of the property loss this
catastrophe will cost the Cambria
Steel company a large sum. The com
pany has for many years past paid to
the Jamily of every person killed in
its employ $1,000 outside of what ft
expended for medical purposes, and it
has paid every man who has lost an
eye, limb or who was otherwise par
tially disabled, the sum of $500. It Is
understood the rule will not be de
viated from. From the positions of the
bodies the miners were evidently eat
ing their lunches when suddenly
stricken down by the explosion. They
were seated in groups of five and ten,
with their buckets and the remains of
their lunches scattered over the floor.
Evidently their lives were snuffel
quickly and easily.
A Washington dispatch to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, under, dato of
July 8, says: There is considerable
speculation in the army as to the prob
able successor of Lieut Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, who retires by reason of age
August 8, 3903, but it is hot generally
known that the duties of the Office of
commanding general are; now largely
performed by Gen. g. B, if. Young, tha
president of tho war college. It is
an open secret in the war department
that General Miles is. commanding
general in name only, His name ap
pears on office orders and routine pa
pers pass through his office, but when
advice is desired by the secretary of
war on matters affecting tho army.
General Yourig Is always called into
consultation. It is defiriiteiy known
that when General Miles retires, either
by reason of ago a year from now or
by order of the president, General
Young will be named as his successor,
but as General Young retires for' age
January 9, 1904, he will have but a
few months to serve, and the real in
terest centers in a successor to Gen
eral Young.
The friends of Major General Corbin
say that he is the logical candidate by
reason of long service and In recog
nition of his conduct of the war with
Spain. General Corbin, however, de-
clines to authorize the use of his name
in this connection, and has already
disavowed an intention to scramble for
the office. Secretary Root and the
president are much impressed with
General Corbin'g ability, and among
the officials of the army his chanced
for appointment are considered ex
cellent The most actite candidates
against him will be Generals Adna R.
Chaffee, John C, Bates, Arthur Mac
Arthur and James F. wade. General
Wade is now a brigadier general, but
he has been assured of promotion to
major general upon the occurrence of
the next vacancy. These officers all
have more than four years to serve
on the active list. General Chaffee re
tires April 14, 1906; General Bates,
August .26, 1906; General Wade, April
14, 1908; General MacArthur, June 2,
1909, and General Corbin has until
September 15, 1906, to serve.
The selection of Col. William P.
Hall, of the adjutant general's office,
to succeed Gen. William B. Carter as
General Corbin's assistant In the wr.r
department is understood at the war
department to foreshadow his future
promotion to be adjutant general
should General Corbin secure the cov
eted lieutenant genejalcy. Colonel
Hall has had an excellent record in
the army, is a former cavalryman and
has been on duty for some time in the
Philippines. He is a son-in-law of
Senator "Joe" Blackburn of Kentucky.
Colonel Hall will reach Washington
about the middle of this month, and
immediately upon his arrival will suc
ceed General Carter.
In an interview with the Washing
ton correspondent of the St Louis
Republic, Congressman Benton of
Missouri, who was a member of the
committee on appropriations, directed
attention to the enormous expenses of
the government under the republican
administration. Mr. Benton said:
"The population of the country
shows no phenomenal increase; the
commercial interests of the country
J furnish no adequate reason for swell
ing expenditures. The administration
claims that the Philippine war is over;
that tho army has been seriously de
creased. We are at peace. Yet the
appropriations for the coming fiscal
year are increased by ?20,00,0O0 and
the promissory notes of the govern
ment are given for $260,000,000 more.
"Attention has been called to certaim
legislation of congresg which has beeq
enacted by the republicans, and 'it is
paraded as being virtuous. This leg
islation comprises the repeal or part;
of the SfMinish war taxes. A Panama
canal lawsuit has been given u in
stead of the Nicaragua canal route,
which this hause passed and the peo
;pliwnt; a Philippine government bill
has been passed, which does not giro
civil government to those unfortunate
people. No voice is given the people
of the archipelago In their legislation.
WkjS Because the bill provide a na
tive legislature with restricted" pow
ers only, and when a census is made,
alter two years or peace, and then
when convenient after such census.
"True to its party history, the re
publican party has passed a "bill ex
tending and enlarging the power of
national banks, which the people have
not asked. A nermanent census bu
reau has been made to provide places
for a regiment of officeholders.
"But the great republican party,
parading its 'full dinner pail' (with
strikes and lockouts in every section
of the country), has failed and refused
to provide legislation to stifle trusts,
has declined to meet the demand of
the people for a revised tariff, pre
ferring to expend in needless and
wasteful appropriations the taxes
wrung from the people',
Mr. Benton makes an interesting re
view of the total appropriations by
the republican congresses of recent
years as compared with the democratic
congresses.
The total appropriated by the Fif
tieth congress (dem.) was $794,140,424;
by the Fifty-first (rep.), $1,023,792,305;
by the Fifty-second (dem.), $943,617,
0J2; by the Fifty-third (dem.), $917.
013,523; by the Fifty-fourth (rep.),
$954,496,055; by the Fifty-fifth (rep.).
$1,568,212,637; by tho Fifty-sixth
(rep.), $1,503,154,452, and by the first
session of the Fifty-seventh, $1,059,
577,052. It will appear from Mr. Benton's
figures that the first session of the
present congress appropriated more
than the total for both sessions of the
Fifty-third or last democratic congress.
