CATHOLICS IK LONDON CKO\\n > AT PAIiABK IS LAKfiKSTI SIXC.3 Ql'EKX'S I-'UXSIIAI/ . 1'roeession of Clergy Led by Cardinal VannulelH , the I'ope's Jjegate , Ae- contjianied by CIrotip of I'eer > G\l- \ Ions I'rcaehes Conference Sermon A great procession of Catholic cler- ey.'which brought the eucharistic con gress in London to an end , was lield Sunday amid scenes such as the JSnglish churchmen who planned it had never anticipated. Cardinal Van- jiutelli , the pope's legate , walked at the head of 'the procession , wearing his scarlet robes and hat. He was ac companied by the body of English peers , of whom the duke of Norfolk was .the most prominent , and a con course of cardinals , archbishops and bishops , who also were attired in un- ceremonial robes instead of vestments which originally it had been proposed they should wear. Xo such throngs of people have been seen in London since Queen Victoria's funeral , of even then. The purpose of Archibshop P.ourne , the head of the Westminster diocese , and 'his associat . who arranged the pro gram , had been to have the host car ried through the streets in the rear of Westminster cathedral "so that the body of Catholics which were unable to participate in any of the services within the cathedral should have an opportunity of joining in the euchar- stic observation , and of seeing all the high ecclesiastics present in London on this memorable occasion. The route of the procession was laid through the quiet streets adjacent to I the cathedral , and but for the un expected partisan strife Avhich a dis cussion of this , ceremony brought on. it probably would have been solm-v nizcd quietly and in a revent atmos phere. The great majority of those who attempted to witness the specta cle , however , apparently was attracted "by curiosity , and a small part were openly and demonstratively hostile. The Catholic clement cheered heartily while the procession passed by and throughout the route , but there was heard considerable "booing. " such as Knglish people use in theaters to ex press displeasure at a play. The people began Hocking toward the cathedral hours before the pro cession started. They came from all directions , from the West Knd in au- mobiles and carnages : from the Kast End in buses ; they poured across the river by all the bridges which con verge toward Westminster , and excur sion trains brought many from the provinces. Long before the hour set for the ceremony it was impossible to get near the line of march. All the streets hading in that direction were packed , and the windows overlooking the pro cession , which were rented at high prices- were filled. * TO PIIO15K FISH TilUST. Alleged Dictation of Prices by Uooth Will IJe Investigated. A statement made by Louis M. Po- lakow , of Chicago , publisher of a trade journal devoted to the fish trade , which was given publicity Saturday - urday , was made the basis Sunday era a report that federal investigation would be made of the affairs of A. llooth & Co. , who went into the hands of a receiver last week. Polakow de clared that the prices of fish to deal ers throughout the country were dic tated by A. Booth & Co. and that he was ready to give the district attorney details concerning daily meetings or representatives of the Booth company and certain supposedly independent lish houses , which were in reality dic tated by the Booth company , he said , for the purpose of controlling prices.

The city of St. Petersburg Russia , has jumped to first place among the cholera infested centers in Russia. The disease already has gained a foot hold in all puarters of the city. There have been eleven new cases and three deaths. This gives a total of sixty- eight cases for three days. The sud den jump in the plague statistics is believed to be due to the failure of the authorities to take proper pre cautions when the first cases were dis covered. One hundred doctors have been drafted into the cholera spuad at a salary of $2. oil u day. The city has chartered a special tank steamer to distribute boiled water to the' barges where a large percentage of the cases have been found. A case of cholera has been reported from Peterhof.

VICTORY FOF THE ROADS. Hepburn Commodities Clause Xot Constitutional. I The commodities clause of the IIup- burn railroad act Thursday was de clared to be unconstitutional by the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania. The court holds the commodities clause is not a regulation of commerce within the proper meaning of the words used in the commerce clause of the constitution and therefore is not within the power granted by the latter clause. The clause case was considered so important Attorney General Bonaparte came to Philadelphia and personally made the principal argument in behalf of the government. Prior to the clause going into effect the anthracite coal carrying railroads went before the in terstate commerce commission and de clared they could not comply with the clause except at a tremendous loss and they further declared their convic tion that the clause was unconstitu tional. Thereupon the government agreed not to enforce the clause until a decision was had upon the law points involving its constitutionality. The railroads in answer to the gov ernment's complaint gave seven chief reasons why the clause was repugnant to the constitution , among them being that it was confiscatory , discriminating and a prohibition and not regulation : that it deprived the railroads of "lib erty and property. " and violated the f right reserved to the states. The clause provides that after May 1 , 190S , it shall be unlawful for any railroad company to transport from one state to another , or to any foreign country , any article or commodity , manufactured , mined , or produced by it. or under its authority , directly or indirectly , except such articles or com modities as may be necessary for its use in the conduct of its business as a common carrier. The clause exempts timber and its manufactured produtes and is aimed particularly at railroads owning coal mines. ACCUSED ROBBEIl IS FREED. Case Against Man Charged with Steal- in" $173.000. Geo. W. Fitzgerald , accused by the state authorities of the theft of $173- 000 from the United States subtreas- ury at Chicago , was freed Thursday by Judge Chetlain. Subtreasurer Bol- denweck , acting on instructions not to disclose the evidence gathered by the federal authorities , refused to testify , and Judge Chetlain thereupon dismiss ed the case. Assistant District Attorney Wilker- son explained his refusal to allow fed eral employes to testify as witnesses in a state case to the faqt that the United States secret service forces were conducting an investigation which would be embarrassed by the premature publication of the evidence at hand.

Xebraska City lias Another Sennit ion Added to Others in Ills Ca e. Somewhat of a sensation was occa sioned by the announcement of Calvin Chapman , one of the prominent capi talists of Xebraska City and a former deacon of the Baptist church , that he and Mrs. Jlebecca FJoncl were married on Aug. 10 , and the matter had been kept a secret until this time. Mr. Chapman hns figured quite prominently in the courts and church for the last year. He and his wife lived together for forty-six yearn and during that time had accumulated a fortune. One day he filed a suit in the district c' Iurt against hi.s wife , praying for a divorce on the grounds of cru Ity and constant nagging. It was thought up to this time that the couple bad always' lived happily to- i gcther. They had one of the nicest ! homes in the city and were leading ! members of the llaptist church. Shortly after this suit v.as filed Fr-ink Bond , a teamster about town , li'ed a suit in the courts against Mr. Chapman charging him with alienat ing the affections of his wife.
