An estate valued- at. more than $15,000,

some time ago when the attorney for the
heirs decamped with the papers. • He
could not be located and proceedings have
been dropped. Mann says the case will
soon be settled, and In that event he will
probably fall heir to several millions.
Mrs. Mann attracted considerable at
tention a few months ago through - the

of the babe destined to become the owner
of the sword of George v Washington. She
went to Baltimore for the ostensible pur

The convention was fairly harmonious
until the following . represented by the

adoption of a new ¦ constitution for the
party, which would provide for primar
ies and' take the control out of the hands
¦of.', the" leaders, Wllcox ' and Senator

After a caucus In which, it is stated
Wllcox and the -Senator agreed to the
constitution, they failed to carry out any
such : agreement, ' and the Prince, with
other leaders and a very important fol
lowing walked out of the convention.
The greatest- bitterness was aroused in
the native party by -the- events that led
up to the epllt. At a. caucus of the
Prince Cupid faction the delegate, to Con
gress was called a snake and a traitor,
a liar and a foolish leader, and.-Kalauo

Drastic legislation is proposed prohibit- 1
ing the existence of all trusts and cor

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
NOMINATE A TICKET
At a meeting held last night, the bolt
ers organized a new party, which they
called Hui Kuokoa, or~ the non-partisan
party. They chose Prince Cupid Presi
dent, and talked of naming him for Con
gress and of combining with the
Democrats, who also held a meeting last
nisrht. At present the native vote is con
siderably split as a result of the quarrel,
and the Republicans are more confident
than ever of being able to elect their
man to. Congress. , ...
After the bolt of the dissatisfied, ones,
the rest of the convention nominated Wil
cox for Delegate to Congress and ad
journed. A platform had already been
adopted. It declared for city and county
government throughout the Islands, but
contained few important features. Efforts
were made to compromise, but failed. The
Prirce's faction demanded the .immedi
ate retirement of Kalauokalani from' the
management of the party, and the im
mediate adoption of the primary plan,
which would deprive both the Delegate
and Kalauokalani of their power- to
¦choose the legislative ticket of the party.
Delegate WIlcox and Kalauokalani have
both slated that they can do without the
clement represented by the Prince, and
that Wilcok will be elected to Congress
again, but it is generally thought that the
division in the Home Rule party is a
serious one, and Republican papers pre
dict that it will end in the defeat of Wil
cox in the coming election.

MACKAY'S SON

born at Sandomlr, Poland* October 29, 1S22,
and was the descendant of an illustrious
Polish family. He would have made a great
statesman in. the days when statesman
ship had an outlet through the ecclesias
tical life. Pius IX recognized the brilliant
Pole's ability, • made him his domestic
prelate and sent him on a diplomatic
mission to Madrid. Afterward he was
auditor to the nunciatures at Lisbon, at
Rio de Janeiro and Santiago de Chile.
His first bishopric was of Thebes, in
partibus infldelium. In 1861 he went to
the nunciature of Brussels, where he re
mained four years, and in 1866 he was
made the primate of Poland. As Archr
bishop- of .Posen. and Gnesen he was ar
rested under Prussian anti-Catholic laws,
and while immured in the dungeons of
Ostrowo he was elevated to the dignity
of a Cardinal by his faithful .Pontiff. He
lived in Rome for many years thereafter,
and his fame reached the ends of the
earth. Ledochowski filled many impor
tant posts in Rome before he attained
the position he held at the time of his
death.

Cardinal Ledoehwski was out driving as
usual yesterday afternoon. When his valet
entered his room at 9 o'clock this morning
the Cardinal had a sudden paralytic
stroke and succumbed.
It is thought that Cardinal Vincenzo
Vanutelli, Bishop of Palestina and Arch
priest of the Librin Basilica, will be ap

nal LedochowskL
The Pope on learning of Cardinal Ledo
chowski's death was greatly distressed,
and exclaimed: "A valiant fighter for the
church and religion has gone. His mem
ory be blessed."
The Pontiff then knelt and prayed for
the repose of the Cardinal's soul.
To-night the candidates for the post
made vacant by the death of Cardinal
Ledochowski are equal in number to the
number of hours which have elapsed
since the Cardinal's decease. In addi
tion to Cardinal Vanutelli, Cardinal
Francis Satolli, formerly Apostolic Dele
gate, to the United States, is. prominently
mentioned as a candidate for the pre
fecture of the congregation of the propa
ganda. He Is reputed to be a special
protege- of the Pontiff, whose power of
appointing is absolute. It is pointed out
thao Cardinal Satolli's thorough • knowl
edge of American- affaifs peculiarly fits
him for the prefecture, the United States
being the most important country with
which the propaganda has to deal.

The. conduct of some of the soldiera
tends to strengthen the theory thus ad
vanced. "Rookies" are constantly in
trouble here and some months ago the
eoldiere of the rougher class behaved in
a shameful manner. Insulting young girls
was their favorite pastime and the police
had trouble with them almost nightly.
Twenty-eight extra mei* who are known
for their devotion to duty have been
stationed as guards and an- immediate
recurrence of the incendiary attempts is
hardly probable, notwithstanding the
threat of the alleged "dynamiters" to
destroy the post. Detectives have been
engaged to look into the case and it Is
believed the guilty persons win be brought
to justice. If they are apprehended they
will be charged with treason, the penalty
for which is death.
EXTRA GUARDS ON DUTY.
"I once built for the army a barracks
building that cost $50,000. It was located
in a Southern State and was magnificently
fitted up, especial attention- having been
paid to the plumbing. Men who had ex
pected to find army life an easy one and
who were disappointed destroyed that
building within a short time 'and I have
no doubt that the attempted destruction
of Fort Stevens was due to similar causes.
Some of the men who enlist are rough
fellows who would not hesitate to retal
iate for corrections by destroying prop
erty and would unhesitatingly blow a post
to atoms if they were sure they would
not be victims of the explosion -or be
found out and punished. , The -. culprits
¦who tried to burn Fort Stevens are not
outsiders, in my belief, but are enlisted
men who have been disappointed with the
life which^ they have chosen for a term
cf years." ' '. - :.
"I am satisfied from what ¦ 1 iiavc
learned from the officers at the -post that
the Incendiaries are enlisted . men. All
arrny officers know that many men who
join the army are dissatisfied with the
discipline. These men despise the regula
tions and hate the officers from whom
they receive orders, and the life of a
soldier is so distasteful to many of the
'rookies' that they do everything in their
power to create trouble.
The opinion is expressed by many per
sons that the incendiaries are located
within the fortifications. The regulations
would make it well nigh impossible for
intruders to make .their way into the
ground, as guards are constantly on
watch. An army officer of this city, who
has been in the service a great many
years, said to-day:
ASTORIA, Or., July 22.— It is now be
lieved that the men who attempted to
blow up the Fort Stevens military post
last Saturday night by setting fire to the
torpedo storehouse are enlisted soldiers.
An attempt is being made to trace the
origin of the note signed \ "The Twelve
E>ynamiters," in -which it was declared
that the attempt to destroy the barracks,
housing several hundred regulars, and the
other buildings on the reservation would
not be relinquished. That their plans for
the destruction of the new fort were well
laid is evident; for since the fires of Sat
urday night it h^s been learned that the
fire-fighting apparatus had been tampered
with and other obstacles placed in the
ivay of the troops to prevent them from
extinguishing the flames. The building In
which the nre apparatus was kept had
been entered and the hose cut to pieces.
It was so badly damaged as to be ren
dered absolutely useless and had the life
in the barracks gained headway the-en
tire post undoubtedly would have been
destroyed. The water system at the fort
is a very poor one and this, too, would
have worked a great hardship had the
fire assumed large proportions.

. WASHINGTON, July 22.— Governor Taft
has acquainted Secretary Root, with the
fact reported in the news dispatches from
Rome. that the Pope had tendered several
pretty arid appropriate gifts , to himself
and the members of- his party, and- he
asked whether ' they can • lawfully be ac
cepted. It was at once ' recognized that
the question thus presented Involved some
very delicate and interesting points, prin
cipal among them being a possible deci
sion, expressly to be avoided at this stage
in the opinion of the officials, as to the
temporal position of the Pope. If these
were decorations or gifts of large value,
then under' the constitutional inhibition
they might not be received without au
thority from Congress, if the Pope Is re
garded as having. temporal powers — as. be
ing a prince, a potentate or a sovereign.
Secretary Root has, however, avoided
an unpleasant decision- of this question by
informing Governor Taft '.¦ that \ if these
gifts, are not of : considerable intrinsic
value and are 1 personal In character they
may be accepted as mere souvenirs, in
which case the- personality of . the giver
need not be a matter of official Inquiry.
On the other hand, if the gifts are of ex
ceptional value, which is' not believed; to
be the case, from the newspaper reports,
then they, may , be deposited in the Smith

ROME, July 22.— Besides an apostolio
delegate for the Philippine Islands; the
Vatican is preparing to appoint an Arch
bishop of Manila, who probably will be
Bishop Sebastian Gebhardt Messer of
Green. Bay, "Wls., who was a professor of
canon law, at the Catholic university at
Washington from 1890 to 1892. -Bishop Mes
ser is a native of . Switzerland. Three new
Philippine, dioceses will • also ¦,•>©¦" created.
Governor Taft, before startlng.f or Naples
to visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, ex
pressed a desire that the Bishop of one of
the new dioceses be a native Filipino.
Major Porter has started for -Paris to
spend a few days there before returning
to Washington: ' - ..
I repeat, the agitation . I. am reproving only
comes from the few — American Catholics . as a
body trust the Government, and in the present
issues trust the Holy See, and hold their, souls
In peace. V. .
And as to schools in the Philippines, why
not when the presence of non-Cathollc» teach
ers is talked of. state that ' out of a total of
5000 teachers, 3500 are Filipino Catholics?
Why not state that Father McKlnnon is a
member of the school board of Manila? And
why,, when mention' is made; of non-Catholic
teachers, \ allow the false . . impression % to . go
abroad that many of these were ministers and
active p'roselytleers? . And. why not remember
that by the law of .the .islands clergymen, who
are ; ministers in any place, of organized con
gregations^.may three times a week teach re
ligion, in the schools of the . place,,. ¦¦. tha condi
tion that they be ministers of organized congre

SCHOOLS IN PHILIPPINES.
The agitation, such as it was, in certain
Catholic quarters, did no honor to those who
participated in It. As Is now proven, they
spoke and acted without due knowledge, and,
certainly without proper regard for the Gov
ernment of their country. They should have
first been absolutely certain that injustice had
been done, they should have sought a remedy
by an appeal t,o .the proper officials before
raising in public irritating clamors.
It -was rankest rashness and ¦ rankest ¦ injus
tice to intimate that the Gov-arnment intended
to proselytlzo in the Philippines or to do aught
to detach the inhabitants- fiom the Catholic
fajth. To know in the. slightest degree, Mr.
Roosevelt, Mr. Root or Mr. Taft is to be cer
tain that nothing of the kind could have been
thought of or could have been tolerated.
Never did there reside In the White House a
man more fair-minded and impartial in reli
gious matters, more resolute to give all classes
of citizens the religious rights granted them
by the constitution and to protect them in thosa
rights than Theodore Roosevolt. During his ad*
ministration it is unqualifiedly absurd t6
imagine that governmental acts could be such
as to deny or impair the religious rights of any
people or tribe over whom floats the American
flag. As to Mr. Taft. I quote from a. letter
which I received but yesterday from a. Catholic
priest living in the. archiepiscopal palace in
Manila, the Rev. W. D. MsKinnon: "I can
assure you nothing could be more unjust than
the criticisms of. Governor Taft appearing in
some Catholic papers. Governor Taft has not
a. particle of bigotry in his makeup. In all his
acts here I defy, any one to say he has . shown
himself prejudiced in the least.". .
At any rate; 'the- direction of Catholic affairs
is his business, riot that of irresponsible church
societies or newspaper editor?; and when ho
informs Catholics' that any cne matter is In
his hands they ought promptly to .step,,aslde
and allow him to have charge of it." The ques
tion of religion in the Philippines is nc-w ' for
mally and officially, his' own; and it should' be
considered as such. A fen' there may re
main who still believe that ' they have a bet
ter understanding of it than he has and will
Insist on telling him how to handle it; but such
as those are few. and at least it will be clear
that they hold no ]' brief whatever from the
Catholic body at' large. ' -, • .
And now it is to be hoped there will . be,
among certain classes of Catholics in America,
a cessation of movements and declarations such
as we have- had recent occasion to hear of re
garding relifirious matters in the Philippines.
The Pope teaches those Catholics to trust the
American Government, as they seemingly have
been heretofore unwilling to do. In his conver
sation with Governor Taft he expressed the
highest esteem for American methods of treat
ing church matters, and remarked that he had
more than once pointed toward the United
States as setting an example well worth copy
ing. His. words. ought to signify something to
those who profess to take him as their leader
and sulde. ¦¦ •¦¦ ¦ •
POPE LEO AND TAFT.
As stated in' this morning's Rome 'dispatches,
,the Pontiff assured Governor ..Tatt . that he was
most satisfied and happy at the results so far
obtained, and 'that he was confident the nego
tiations begun in Rome- would be the .starting
point of a complete and' satisfactory solution' or
the question under discussion. This statement
states In the most exact manner the. situation
as to the Vatican views, and as it really is.
The Vatican and Governor Taft came easily
and quickly to a substantial agreement. The
question Tor the Vatican is what practical
methoda are to beadopted to put the agreement
into execution. With a little time certain mat
ters now seeming to offer great difficulties will
be made, by quiet, skillful touches of pontifical
diplomacy, to work themselves . out without
friction or excitement; and so, when, in Manila,
final conclusions are to be reached, thii.go will
have been ripe and will turn out all risrnv. This
is the Vatican method of proceeding. It is a
wise rand^ nrudent method. Mr. Taft under
stands the matter and leaves Rome thoroughly
satisfied and hopeful. There can be no doubt
that the active co-operation of the Vatican Is
now secured .to the American Government in its
task of- pacification in the Philippines, and that
in : the results to come the administration at
Washington will have ample reason to felicitate
itself for having sent Governor Taft to Rome.

advices comins : to me frorfi the most .reliable

But as to . people who are able to be about

that more than 90 per cent recover or
progress favorably indefinitely. Mlracle3
