Ho rofera to tli contractors and others conversant with tl : details In proof of the fact that the work wr satisfactory so far as it progressed under hi management. The church folks desired 1 employ Cooke as architect , as Cooke had sul scribed JoOO to the enterprise , and it won I bo an accommodation to both the subscribe and tlio church to have the subscription pal for In Architectural services , llenco th change wni made , and not because of an dissatisfaction with Mr. Ellis. Mr. Ellis say It is absurd to intimate that there is an collusion botwcen himself and Mr. Cooin Since tlioy dissolved partnership tie has hit no relations with him , and In fact , unt sundry differences are settled between thoi there Is no possibility of any undoratandln between them. Mr. Kills says the plans provided by hi ! have been subjected to such changes an alterations us to Justify him In demundln the originals , as the plans belong to tl church only for the purpose of guldauco I erecting this building , and tlmt In view of u the circumstance * ho believes ho out-lit have his plans returned to hit possession.

The Vatican has been ad vised that the Italian go'yertdncnt is occupyIng - Ing Itself diplomatically regarding n successor to Pope Leo In order to provcnt the election of a pope unfavorable to ofllclul Italy and favorable to France. Premier Crlspl will endeavor to demonstrate to the triple alllanco that in view of the hostile spirit which exists In high quarters It Is to the Interest of tbo allied cabinets to prepare tor the coming conclave. Kvcry ono at the Vatican , however ; appears serene.'partly because tbo pope still enjoys perfect health nnd again bocnuso the sacred college can , in case of necessity , meet elsewhere - where than Rome. In conversation n highly placed personage snld the times had passed when the cardi nals accept the vote of monarchies. Abso lute liberty will henceforth bo the principle on which conclaves work. The personngo in qucUton said It was difficult to determine the probabilities of the next conclave. Various candidates have been mentioned , but HOMO have been decided upon. Under the extraordinary conditions , if the conclave Is held abrond , and In the midst of Huropcnn complications , it is to bo presumed that the cardinals would choose a neutral foreign pope for instance , Manning of England , Gibbons of America or Mallnci. It Is to bo home in mind , ho said , that foreign cardinals ere long will form a majority In the sacred college. With the de velopment of Christianity the church needs more cardinals In America , Australia. Canada , China nnd Africa , and this will modify cssontlnllv the conditions of the papacy. Further , the world becoming Horn- nnizcef , It is necessary that the papacy should become universal. From this It is evident that it can no longer bo exclusively Italian. Manning nnd Gibbons have especially gained In ecclesiastical opinion during those latter times. ItOLI , OP TlIK VKSTMTUTE. NiimbcrorFamilies In Nelirnnkn Need ing Provisions Fuel nnd Grain.

Chief of 1'ollco Seavoy Hied bis report for the year ondlntr December 31 , 1890 , with the board of flro and police commissioners last night. Tbo document , which consists ol forty pages of type-written manuscript , Is , in sub stance , as follows : At the beginning of the year tbo police force numbered nlnoty.four men. It was In creased to 101 during the month of May , but has since decreased and at present has ninety- two names on the payroll , as follows : Ono chief , 1 clerk , 2 captains , 1 chief de tective , 4 sergeants , fi detectives , 2 jailors , 1 court ofllcor , ! i patrol drivers , 2 patrol con ductors , a turnlteys , 4 mounted men , 1 hostler nnd 04 patrolmen. Tbo force has been thoroughly drilled and every ofllcer carefully Instructed as to his duties , and tbo cfllcieney , discipline and gen eral condition of thj force will compare favorably with 'hat of any western city. The city has been moro orJerlv during tbo past year than nny year since I have baa com mand of the police department , which may bo accounted for by the peaceful Inclination of our citizens and the Vigilance of the polico. The detective force hns accomplished moro this year than over before. Tnoy have ar rested Tiili erlinlnnils , many of whom were the most prominent and dangerous crooks In the United fatates , and have recovered and returned to owners stolen property of tbo vnluoof 17,702.05. Tlio paltry sum of f21.75 bus been puld by the city this year for de- ectlvo services. A large number of burglaries nnd house robberies have been reported during tbo j'car , the police arresting nearly all of tbo crim inals , but not having suftlclcnUevldoncc , very few of them were convicted of the crime charged. Many of these burglars nnd house robbers , however , wore convicted of vagrancy and after serving their time In tbo county jail were run out of the city. Of the * 33,7'J8.CO ' worth of property re ported stolen during the year , $ l.ri,5sri.l4 nas been recovered , which Is a larger percentage than ever before. Crime will bo committed , no matter how carefully the police guard it , but the efficiency of the police is shown by the celerity and cor- -talnty with which It hunts down and secures the criminal. My best efforts have been put forth nnd di rected to so organize the force and discipline Its members as to make it effective In sudden emergencies as in the every day routine of duty , to prevent crime , to protect persons nnd property nnd to detect and bring crim inals to Justice. The members ol tbo force linvo responded on the whole with prompt ness und good Judgment. Potty crime is Increasing In this city , and it is mv opinion thut It will continue ) to dose so untU-a work house with a substantial rock pile Is established to compel this class of criminals to do hard work. Our well reg ulated and well filled county jail , that can ac- commodnto 140 prisoners , U considered by the uvcrago vag and crook the most delight ful of winter resorts. During the year the police have nrrcstdd 8.113 persons , of which number 2,010 were convicted , 184 remanded to tbo district court and 5,013 dismissed , which makes the per centage of convictions nearly double that of any previous year. Tlio members of the force nro , svith few exceptions , always on tbo alert , and suspi cious strangers are closely watched. The dlcipllnc of the force Is good. There are , of course , many comnlnlnts , but the great ma jority of them are for minor infractions o the police rules nnd regulations , which is the best evidence of tbo vigilance of tbo superior officers. Sixteen patrolmen have been brought before - fore your honorable body for violating the rules and regulations who were fined to the amount of $137.1)1 ) , which sum has been paid Into the city treasury to the credit of the po- hof fund. The Police Relief association organized by electing a board of directors , April 2 , 1800 , The nssoclaeiation has been very successful , and at the close of the year its financial state ment shows the following : liRCnilTS.
