universities are spread nil over the
country. Our heritage is greater than
that of nationality, and the children of
toll have become the strong men of the
Church. Tho slumbering talent of the
young men is now oponlng like the roe
to the stinshlno, and their influence la
future years will be felt In the councils
of Church and State. The Young
Mon's Catholic Union will go on for
ever." Everywhere, continued the speaker,
there should be local and diocesan
unions. Thcro should be a friendly
rivalry, hand to hand, and strength in
tho bonds of union. Then the fondest
hopes of the union will lie realized.

of purpose.
MR. WOOD

that everybody had been against tho
colored people but the Cath"Hcs, and
that, during slave days, the Catholics
wero their only friends. Ho loved
Catholics, because they had protected

Tho dispatch received Irom President

He says that nearly all tho prisoners

Pou still maintains that if thoro has

tluDlie Modern Vrfir,
According to news just received by
way of London, the Messrs. Colt, our
famous American gunmakers, have
bought the American rights to the
G lltard gun patents for 0O,O00. Ex
perts wno have seeu the gun In practice
aro enthusiastic In its praise. The
French Government Is said to be experi
menting on Its application to cannon of
the largest size.
What is the GIffard gun? A few
days ago It was exhibited at the bead
quarters of the Scottish Bide Volunteers
in London. M. GilTard himself was
present. To outward appearance it
was a simple thing enough, consisting
of a smah tube of toughen steel only
nine Inches in length, containing noth
ing that, when opened, the eve can see,
the ear hear, the nose smell or the
fingers touch. Yet, that small tube
may yet be destined to destroy empires.
WHAT TUK OUN IS LIKE.
The tough steel tube, nine iocUe
long, is charged with liquefied earbonie
acid gas, the same gas that we breathe
from our lungs after everv respiration,
but converted by llquefaetkm into one
of the most powerful propulsive known,
it is fixed to the banal of the ride in
iwh a way that when the trigger is
pulind a drop of the liquet!! gas is
foreed into the breech of the gun behind
the bullet, where, InstaataiMously re
suming a gaseous condition, it develops
a force equal to 300 pounds pressure on
the square Inch. The bullet la then ex
peUed at any degree of velocity dneired,
for the powder can he inerensad or di
wlnUhed by a simple turn of the screw
The pressure U equally distributed and
continuously Increased until the bullet
leaven the barrel. There is no sudden
explosion, such as that which consti
tute the constant puzzle o( the artillerist
to overcome. There is no saaoke, no
noise, no recoil, no smell, no heat.

New Yoiik. Oct. 8 The Sun this
morning says the wildest Interest was
taken among politicians in New York
yesterday In a story sen; from Wash
ington that the Frenoh Legation had
complained to the State Department
over what was spoken of as the Cointe
de Paris "oftklal reception" In the
lower bay. The French Minister's ob
jection to the Count's reception by the
Collector in the name of the Presl lent
was band on the Minister's argument
that the Comtels practically adlsturber
of the peace, and desires to bring about
the destruction of the French republic.
From all that could be learned yester
day, the French Legation has gone off
on a tangent, and bos taken offense at a
few baimlcsi civilities which were
extended to the Comte de Paris.
Collector Krhardt was not In town
ycsteiday. Friends of his who went
down the bey with him say that the
Collector's remarks amounted to noth
ing more than extending to the Count
the courtesies of the port. These con
sist In expediting his baggage through
the custom house and taking him oil
the tteamshlp la a revenue cutter. It
was further learned that the Frenoh
Legation had cabled borne the report
that Collector Krhardt had welcomed
the Count In the President's name and
that the subject had resulted in long
letters between the Legation and Secre
tary Blaine.
Nothing could be learned at the
State Department aad the o&eiaU there
maintained a deeidedly diptocnatle
silence.

As night wore on tho sceno became
more desolate. The devastated village
was barren of lights, and it was wordi
one's llfo to wander among the ruins.
Dr. Morgan of Wilmlngton.who arrived
early on the scene, said the spectacle
faltly rivaled the disaster caused by the
Charleston earthquake.
The work of clearing away ihef&
and looking for portions of tho bo lies
of the known dead will be actively bi

will lote any money, for the Duponts
will repa all who lose their household

from death by the explosion at the pow
der works was told last night by Wll
Ham Haley, a foreman In one of the
coal houses of the Dupont Mill. The
coal house Is about twenty yards to the
east of the scene of the disaster. Haley
said: "I was standing In the doorway
of the coal houw and was suddenlr
stricken with terror by a thunderoui
sound. I saw a succession of bright
Hashes from the dltferent buildings.
The coal building shook and fell about
me. I stood amid the tMri paralyzed

being killed I don't know. Mv cloth

were scratched ; otherwise I was not
hurt. When I regained my senses I
rushed to mv home on the hillside,
about H0Oards away. It was a must

Secretary Tracy appears to lie In a
perpetual State of astonishment at the
vociferous enthusiasm with whleh the
Presidential party Is greeted nnd the
apparent popularity of the President.
He forgets that all Presidents are greeted
in that way, and tbat just as large
crowds would turn out to look at an
clcphnnt as turas out tognre ou a Prod

by the ftdlhful Jenkins was that of nn

your grandfather and then voted for
you." (a long time between votes "aad

Jenkins, assured bis visitor thit to hit

spplauded the sentiment.
