of this claim

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 215000 in all The Do

ed the claim but afterward contest
ed it Sala died leaving his claim to
his wife who is an American Min
ister Powell was instructed to en
deavor to effect a settlement
The international tribunal consti
tuted to consider the claim awarded
the company damages in the sum of
523000 with interest at G per cent
Salvador then declared the award
void owing to certain irregularities
pointed out which Secretary Hay re
fused to recognize With the con
sent of this government however a
compromise was effected on a basis
of GT1 per cent of the amount
awarded

greatly taxed by the severe spell of
fever he suffered due to the intense
heat in Rome during the progress of
the concIat
Of the new pontiff the caidinal
spoke in terms of the greatest enthus
iasm He said that the choice of the
conclaie 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 church 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 of 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

NEW YORK I send you here
with 300 This is positively the last
money I will send yon 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 Mon
day throufen the heart
The case had begun to look like one

escape his tormentor
J E Lambio stepfather of the dead
man declared that sensational devel
opments may grow out of the affair
He is quoted as saying
We know the woman to whom the
letter was addressed She is a young
married woman the mere mention of
whose name would cause 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 We
now know enough to believe that it
was suicide
