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 the 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 my 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
1 knows how to annreciate the hanDV
influence 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
the authorities of the Catholic church
On his part the pontiff will not fail
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 new country an era of peace and
true progress
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 I
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
in Manila I have the honor to be
etc RAMPOLIA

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 at 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 bo able to attend He was
pale but otherwise showed no signs
of his Injuries
The meeting of 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 vlceroyalty
of India and there is no indication
that Lord Lansdowne 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 oening 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 Ravendal 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 Mahagi on Lake Albert
Nyanza and this connection will sup
ply the missing link between the cape
and Egyptian railways

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 6000000 lire
The bronze gate of the Logetta of
San Sovino was found beneath the
debris twisted and with one of the

WORK ONCE MORE
STRIKING FREIGHT HANDLERS
TAKE THEIR OLD PLACES
ACTIVITY AGAIN 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 oclock in the
afternoon The strike it is estimated
cost the business men of Chicago 10
000000 and in order to guard against
a contingency in the future they are
preparing to inaugurate an educa
tional campaign in opposition to the
sympathetic strike
The labor unions will be asked to
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 shows 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 was a
knowledge of this fact that had much
to do with the action taken by ther
union However the proposition made
by the state board of arbitration en
abled the freight handlers to retire
gracefully from the field

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
ylelder easily picked continues many
years in profitable frultfulness and
generally is in good demand Its dis
advantages are softness for long-distance
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
