TWQ NEW CARDINALS
The Church in America to Be
Honored.
RED HAT FOR MGR. CHAPELLE
The Other May- Be- Bestowed on Cor-
risaa, Ireland or Mar.
tinelll.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. A dispatch to
the Herald, from Rome says:
"A very strained condition of feeling
exists between the Austrian representative
of the Vatlcan'ana' His Holiness. It con
corns the coming distribution of cardi
nals hats. The Austrian Government has
of late been urging with much persistence
that the archbishop of Prague should re
ceive the coveted scarlet. The "Bee of:
Prague Is considered, by. Austriahs. fon
historical and other reasons,; to be o
premier rank, anq has been held by a
Buocesslon 0 dlgnjtaj-les Qf princely title.
It Is now occupied by Ba'rln Scrlbnltz.
The Pope, however, has just given a final
decision, which is negative, on the ground
the arcnblsbop Is too young.
"Furthermore, there are other disap
pointments In view. These will touch
French aspirations, as the total number
of cardinals' hats expected by the French
church will not be granted. This last;
decision is due to the growing Importance
attached by His Holiness to the increas
ing development of the Roman Catholic
faith in the United States, in which coun
try. In consequence, two new appoint-,
mentis of princes of the church have been
decided upon. This appointment of two
additional American cardinals may cause
Jealousy, but it is only In accordance with
the amount of support which the Roman
Catholic church in the United States Is
giving to the Holy See, as compared with
other nations.'"
Commenting on the above, the Herald
says:
"Gossip will be set going at a fast pace
by this announcement that two red hats
are to come to the United States. One
solution of the ecclesiastical friction that
has for years existed between the East
and West used to be that both Arch
bishops Corrlgan and Ireland should be
raised By the sacred college and thus all
rivalry equalized; but a new factor has
appeared on the scene in the person of
Archbishop Chapello, of New Orleans,
the delegate apostolic to Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines. This is a most im
portant office, and as Monslgnore Chapelle
seems to be meeting Its many require
ments successfully, he will no doubt re
ceive the customary reward of the red
hat that Rome bestows on her successful
diplomats.
"This would dispose of one of the newly
promised dignitaries. Then who Is to
get the other? Such a course would leave
the old trouble, unsolved. Both Arch
bishop Corrlgan and 'Archbishop Ireland
have been in Rome this Summer, and both
were received there with the highest hon
ors. Archbishop Corrlgan made a report
to the Pope of wonderful prosperity and
progress in his diocese of. New York.
But this point Is balanced, by the high
honors paid to Archbishop Ireland In
.France .and. .his. undoubted repute as a
force of even international weight.
"Another idea Is the recently mooted
topic of a cardinal de curia, or resident In
Rome for the United States. He would
be specially charged to look after the af
fairs of the church here. For this Mon
slgnore Martinelll, vkho will undoubtedly
soon he made a cardinal, has been spoken
of, but- it is not thought he would do, i
because he is really an Italian and not
an. American, though so long a. resident
here."
THE PAPAL CONSISTORY.
Appointments of the IVcvr American
Cardinal Soon to Be Announced.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The approach
ing papal consistory at Rome Is attract
ing much attention in the highest eccle
siastical circles of the Catholic church,
owing to the growing Impression that
honors may be conferred upon one or
more of the representatives of the church
in America. Private advices received re
cently from sources close to the Vatican
express the belief that Monslgnore Mar
tinolli, the present pupal delegate to the
United States, will be elected to the car
dlnalate. This is entirely unofficial, ana
until the consistory assombles December
17 there oan be nothing definite, but the
sources of the Information are such as to
strengthen the belief that the appointment
is under consideration and will be an
nounced at that time or soon thereafter.
Th name of Archbishop Chapelle, of
the archdiocese of New Orleans and papa
delegate to Cuba and to the Philippines,
is also being mentioned as a possible re
cipient of the distinguished honors, al
though this Is not based on the advices
from Rome heretofore alluded to. It is
noted, however, that Archbishop Chapelle
is expected to be in Rome at Christmas
time, about the time of the consistory,
after having spent some time In the Phil
ippines adjusting affairs relating to the
church. His visit to Rome is understood
to be foi the purpose of making a report
of his work as delegate to the new
American acquisitions. In previous ru
jnors concerning the bestowal of the red
hat, the name of Archbishop Ireland, of
St. Paul, has figured, and there is a re
newal of this comment now. as there is
said to have been some recent movement
in mat atrectton.
NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
If It Ever Comes to a Vote In Senate,
It Will Pass.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. No one longer
doubts that if the Nicaragua Canal bill
ever comes to a vote It will pass. "With
that knowledge la mind, the friends of
the measure have determined to make
the best possible fight in its behalf at
the coming session. It having already
pissed the House, and it awaiting the ac
tion of the Senate, the date for its con
sideration being fixed Decomber 10, at 2
o'clock. Under this special order, the
bill will be considered every day at this
hour until it is finally disponed of. It is
a rather hard matter to sec how the
enemies of this great piece of legislation-can
defeat it, especially if the friends
of the bill work unitedly in Its behalf.
It Is well recognised that to amend the
bill as passed by the House would likely
prove disastrous, and would be a most
dangerous move in this short session,
and oa that account the friends of the
bill will endeavor to prevent any amend
ment of the House bill. The bill in Its
present form consists of six sections,
which may be briefly summarized as fol
lows: Section 1 authorizes the President to
acquire from Costa Rica and Nicaragua
control of the territory through which
the- canal will pass, from Greytowa on
the east coast to Breto on the west, and
appropriates such sum as ma be neces
sary to secure such control, no specific
amount being named.
Section 2 empowers the Secretary of
War, when such control has been secured,
to excavate and construct a canal of suffi
cient capacity and depth to accommodate
vessels of the largest tonnage and great
est depth, with safe and commodious har
bors at the termini, and Buch provisions
for defense as may be necessary for the
safety and protection of said canal and
harbors.
The third section provides for the nec
essary surveys.
Section 4 directs the use of the San
Juan River and Lake Nicaragua, wher
ever .prapac&Die.
Tbe, fifth section authorizes the use of
ihe canal ,by Costa rca and Nicaragua I
upon terms to be hereafter arranged.
The last section appropriates the sum
of J19.000.000 to begin the project, author
izes the Secretary of "War to make con
tracts for excavation, material and con
struction, and limits the total cost to
$140,000,000.
The objection will 'probably again be
raised that the provision of this bill
permitting fortification of the canal is in
direct conflict with the provisidns of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but it is not ex
pected that the friends of the canal will
allow this obstacle to-' balk them, and will
get around the apparent hindrance in a
clean and outright manner, so as to re
move all Just criticism.-
"Whether or not the bill passes now
seems to rest with the friends of the
measure. They practically have it In
their power to put the bill through. If it
falls. It will be due to- their own neglect
or Indifference. .Never before was the
chance bo good of having a trans-Isthmian
cmal, and a chance that has been
sought so long should not be neglected
when ripe.
JONES DROPS BR'TAN.
Says He "Will Not Be & Candidate for
President Four Years Hence.
LITTLE ROCK. Artr.. Nov. 22. United
'States Senator James K. Jones, cnairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
spent the day in Little Rock, and left to
night for "Washington. Before leaving, he
said in an interview:
"The election result was a groat sur
prise to all Democrats. All were so con
fident of success tht the sweeping Re
publican victory came as a severe shock.
Even on the evening of the day before
election, reassuring telegrams came from
leaders that New York was safe for
tBryan, and .from leaders in other pivotal
states that the Democrats were sure to
win. It was these forecasts which buoyed
us up to the last moment and made the
actual result more startling. (
"But Mr. Bryan Is a great man, one of
the greatest in America today, and his.
influence will be felt for many years to
come in American politics. He is a giant
In Intelligence and simply Indefatigable
In the prosecution of a campaign. Wheth
er he will be a candidate for President
in the future remains to be seen, but It
Is not probable that he will. It Is more
reasonable to presume that he would de
cline the nomination, even should it be
offered to him.
"Reorganization! Oh! that's all non
sense. There's nothing In It, and it will
blow over In 30 days. It is participated
in by those who deserted the party and
gave aid and comfort to the enemy, and
does not represent the strength or the
spirit of the genuine Democracy. What
they would do Is to adopt all the policies
of the Republican party and be Demo
crats only la name. But, granting, that
there Is cause for so-called reorganiza
tion, who has the power within, the party
to do it now? Not the disgruntled dis
organizers who have raised the issues.
If there Is to be a reorganization of the
National committee or platform, it can
not be done for four years, or until the
next National convention. As to the is
sues, that must depend largely upon the
National and International developments
of the next four years. It may be laid
down primarily, however, that the Demo
cratic party will never vary from Its es
tablished fundamentals, a strict construc
tion of the Constitution and unswerving
adherence to its principles and econom
ically administered Government for the
benefit of the governed.
"The silver question may solve itself.
Should the amount of gold produced be
ample to maintain a sufficient volume of
metallic money and Insure the stability
of prices, the silver auestlon will be sub
ordinated, but should the supply fall short
by tho demands of trade, the silver ques
tion will be made prominent. The ques
tion of imperialism may also find a solu
tion outside the ballot-box. I believe the
Supreme Court will decide against the
Porto Rlcan law, and, should this be done,
there will be a revulsion on the part of
Republicans themselves against tho re
tention of the Philippines. But Just what
the Issues of 1901 will be, no one can pre
dict with any degree of certainty."

DENOUNCED THE EDICT

LONDON, Nov. 23. "Nine of the foreign

''have written strong letters denouncing

WASHDMGTON. Nov. 22. The State
Department so far" bag heard nothing

tho foreign Ministers yesterday at Pekin.
In fact save a brief.fcxpressIon respect7

WHO MAY BE APPOINTED A CARDINAL.
inflicted upon the responsible leaders of
the Boxer movement, Mr. Conger has not
communicated with the department for
more than a week. Without taking Issue
with Mr. Conger respecting this matter
of punishment, the State Department has
earnestly advised him not to Insist on im
possible conditions in the negotiations.
An Interesting" problem Is suggested by
the possibility, which today Is almost a
probability, that the Ministers represent
ing the powers at Pektn canhot reach an
agreement. If Russia, France -and the
United States shduTcTreriSse to accept the
German idea, "as seconded' by the Brit
ish representative, much would depend
upon Japan, and even'some of. the lesser
powers represented at Pekin by Ministers
might hava great power In swaying- the
proceedings of the council. The Impres
sion seems to be that if- a majority of
the Ministers, or even one of the repre
sentatives of the great powers withholds
assent to the agreement, then the whole
undertaking falls, .and there must be
either fresh negotiations directly between
the home governments In the effort to
agree upon new bases of action, or the
powers must proceed to deal with the
Chinese situation singly or in groups, the
latter contingency having been provided
for in the German-British agreement
PUNISHMENT: OF CHINESE.
Conger's VIctts Not Shared by the
Administration.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. According to a
special from Washington to the Herald,
Conger's dispatch to Secretary Hay, as
serting his belief that the punishment of
Phlnosft. lAndnro ImnAtml Ytv t-Yak Atriim 4&-
sued by the Chinese Government is not J
adquate, is opposed to tho opinion held
by the President and Secretary of State.
Another important development in the
situation Is that Germany has proposed
that as a condition to continuing the ne.
gotiatlons, China be compelled to execute
the 11 PrlnccE and officials alleged to be
responsible for the Chinese outrages. This
condition Is very distasteful to the Ad
ministration, which is expected to take
steps to secure Us modification.
Mr. Conger's message was In response
to an Inquiry from Secretary Hay, sent
Immediately after the presentation of the
decree to this Government by Minister
Wu. The Secretary cabled that the Unit
ed States did not intend to pursue a pol
icy of vengeance, but stated that because
of Mr. Conger's experience, the President
necessarily left in his hands the determi
nation of whether the punishment Im
posed were adequate. Secretary Hay also
urged him to take Into full consideration
the attitude of the Chinese and the abil
ity of the Imperial Government to carry
out more severe .sentences.
It Is evident to the officials that the,
siege through which Mr. Conger and other
Ministers went last Summer has angered
them against the Chinese and caused
them to be foremost In demanding blood
expiation. In the hope of deterring Mr.
Conger from any ideas of vengeance, W.
W. Rockhlll was sent to Pekin as his
adviser. It is an open secret that the
authorities would have preferred the ref
erence of the negotiations to a commis
sion formed of commissioners, three in
number appointed by each power, but
this plan failed of accomplishment
Tho proposal of Germany that the con
tinuance of negotiations depend upon tho
execution of the Princes and officials
thought responsible for the outrages, is
another form of the propositions sub
mitted to the 'Washington Government
several weeks ago by Baron von Stern
berg, then German Charge d'Aff aires.
Germany proposed at that time as a
condition precedent to negotiation tho
Chinese Government be compelled to sur
render the "first and real perpetrators of
the crimes committed against interna
tional law,".
The response of the United States
was that It could not Join in a demand
of this character; that China should be
afforded an opportunity to punish the
criminals, and that provision tor their
punishment should bo made In the nego
tiations for" a final settlement .The Pres.
ldent is considering the new German pro
posal and he will probably decline to agree
to It. suggesting a modification that may
lead to a satisfactory solution.
An official said that as some of the.
men condemned by the Ministers are pow
erful Princes and officials controlling Chi
nese forces, it is plain that unless the Im
perial Government desirous of carrying
out the ultimatum of the foreign repre
sentatives is able to arrest the culprits
quickly, they are likely to combine In
their own defense. The possibility la aug.
gested that they might Kill the Emperor.
Such an act wouId.be a signal for an anti-
foreura outbreak all over Colng,. end J
would have consequences which the au
thorltles hesitate to contemplate,

COMPOSER. OF "MIKADO"
SUDDEN DEATH OBJ SIR. .ARTHUR
? ' SULLIVAN.
He Had Been Ailing: Since Uc Re
turned From Switscrland in the
Middle of September.
LONDON, Nov. 22,-SIr Arthur Sullivan,
the-famous musical composer, Is dead.
His death was very sudden, and occurred
In his residence shortly after 9 o'clock
thls-nrornlng, when he "was stricken with
heart failure. He expired in a few min
utes. Sir Arthur had been ailing since he
returned from Switzerland, in the middle
of September. He caught a chili there,
and his chest and lungs became affected.
He took to his bedt a fortnight ago, but
.was convalescing and sitting upi In his
bed Just before he expired.
Sir Arthur was knighted by the Queen
at Windsor, in 1S83. In'lS97 he was deco
rated with the Victorian order, and. be
fore that time had been honored by asso
ciation with various eminent orders of
continental Europe. The music on which
the composer's permanent fame will Test
arc his oratorios and cantatas', which dls
plosa genius of a lofty order. He Is more
widely known, however, by his light op
eras and his operettas, among which tho
most popular are "Pinafore," "Patience,"
"The Mikado" and the "Plrantes of Pen
zance." Sir Arthur was 58 years old.
LONDON, Nov. liil-Str Arthur Sulli
van's death has a widely sympathetic In
terest for Englishmen, and the morning
papers are filled with obituary notices,
sketches and reminiscences. The Daily
News says:
"The death of no other contemporary
man of genius could have awakened ' a
more general and personal regret Sir
Arthur Sullivan holds a place In the Vic
torian era with Darwin and Tennyson."
This expresses the general feeling. Va
rious opinions are given to his place in
the musical pantheon, but the general
veidict is that he has been England's
most representative composer since Pur--el'.
The final scene calls for a brief descrip
tion During the moralng his nurses no
ticed alarming symptoms and sent for the
doctors, but the end came before they
arrived.. About 9 o'clock, after he had
been chatting and taking his coffee, he
suddenly sat up with the exclamation:
'"My heart! My heart!" Ha began to
fa'nt and restoratives were applied, but
he v never regained consciousness. The
end came quickly and painlessly. It Is
said his father died In almost precisely
the sdmfe way.
Tho body will be embalmed and Interred
In Brompton cemetery, unless a strong
feeling should develop in the profession
In favor of asking the dean to allow
hUrlM in Westminster Abbey, which

LONDON, Nov. 22. General Buller, in

I was Inside Ladysmlth."

Hottentots, following the forces, and the

tho war has come to its crisis and Induced
severer treatment. But why Is It so?
Are the real patriots fighting for their
country? The whole people whom we
know as Boers have already surrendered
or are prisoners or doing their level "best
to surrender. The people left In the field
are either mercenaries or bandits."

When the Filipinos volunteer to serve

doing lately, It Is evident that the oppo
sition to American government In the

There Is danger that the Republicans In
Congress will consider the result of the
election an Indorsement of extravagant
appropriations, and will act accordingly.
The surplus In the Treasury is a great
temptation to the manipulators of Jobs.
Baker City Democrat.
The Importance qf Portland as a ship
ping point for wheat is Illustrated by
noting the difference between her ship
ments for the first month of this year and
those of other leading cities of the United
States. She shipped during the month
45,000 bushels more than New York and
500,000 bushels more than San Francisco.
The shipments for the same time were
six times as large as those from Puget
Sound cities. In fact, her shipments were
larger than all the other Ptaclfio ports
combined. Wallowa News.
There can be no excuse now for the
continuation of the Philippine war. The
Administration should vigorously push
the war and subdue the Filipinos so thor
oughly that another outbreak will not
occur In the history of our new posses
sions. Myrtle Point Enterprise.
On November 6 Oregon voted for Pacific
Coast expansion. It voted for retention
of the Philippines and the opening up of
a vasf and profitable trade with the
Orient that will increase and develop
every Industry In Oregon and give to the
farmers a better price for the products
of the soil. -The result of the election
opened the door to Oregon's golden op
portunity. What now remains to be done
Is tj choose a man for United States
Senator who will labor In the interest of
the state. What we must have is a man
of broad, comprehensive statesmanship,
a man who will have influence abroad as
well as at home. One who can grapple
with the problem of building up the great
and growing Pacific Coast and command
a hearing in the Senate, in our behalf.
Of the men mentioned in this connection.
Oregon has several who we believe would
he equal to the emergency, and the com
ing session of the Legislature In making
the selection should be careful to choose,
the man who can best carry out the ex
press will of the state for establishing a
mighty commerce with the far East ana
the construction of the Nicaragua Canal.
These are Oregon's paramount Issues Just
now, and the man who can best repre
sent us along these lines Is the man above
all others that should be chosen as United
States Senator. Eugene Register.
Our Democratic contemporaries are
shedding rivers of briny tears over the
announcement that the National Salt

are told, "controls directly -96 per cent of
the salt output of the country, and Is
able to dominate the remaining 5 per

comes it that "common table salt of a
fair quality" Is at this writing, November

BAD OUTLOOK FOR TAMMANY
No Issue to Win On, No Record to
Appeal To.
Ifew Tork oarreipen4ence St P&ul Pioneer
, Pre.
Tammany politicians of high and low
degree admit In private that the outlook
for the organization for the municipal
central next year la not encouraging !
they have to fight united effort. They
"have been left without an Issue upon
whloh they can appeal to the voters.
Bryanlsra has been buried, and they can
not go into a municipal contest upon
party questions, because all yie Issues in
the so-called Democratic platform bays
been repudiated at the polls.
Those Tammany politicians who some
times talk frankly In private admit that
next year the organization will be on tho
defensive on every local issue. They can
not claim a low tax rate, because as
sessments have been Increased and the
slight reduction of the tax rate is not
felt by property-owners. The rate next
year will also be high unless there Is an
other advance of assessments. The lead
ers cannot make an Issue of economy In
city expenses, because the budget has
been largely increase each year since tha
present administration came into office.
In brief, the city budget has Jumped from
$$5,000,000 in 1S8S to J8,C0.000 for 1S01. ana
the bulk of this increase goes for in
creases In salaries and for additional em
ployes. Tammany will be forced to go
before the public defending a policy of
maintaining many useless offices and in
creasing salaries and wages In all de
partments. The present administration
cannot claim credit for a singla
new public improvement. The pub
lic work now going on Is mere
ly a continuance of the policy
and plans of a former administration, and
nearly every Important Improvement was
delayed more than a year by a squabhle
about the debt limit. The present ad
ministration has not Inaugurated a single
public improvement of any magnitude or
Importance, but on the contrary delayed
rapid transit, the public library and tho
hail of records. Several times contrac
tors and citizens have been compelled to
mandamus the Tammany municipal as
sembly to prevent a cessation of neces
sary public work that was under con
tract. The Coming; of November.
Now the last load hath dipped below the
brow,
And the last sheaf been piled and wheeled
away.
The pheasants glean among tho stubbles
gray.
That'-wait tho coming; of the wintry piew.
tJrXtyl Memory sits and MghsyoontraatlB -Then
' Stripped is the last straight hop-polo and
the long
Green loops of vine with clustering frultagto
Browned,
Lie In brawn leaders colls upon the ground.
Gone from the icene the many-colored throng'.
And Silence waits in vain for sound of shout
or sons.
In sylvan spaces o'er the dewy grass
Creepeth the shadow of a coming- grief.
And now an acorn falls, and new a leaf.
The seeded sedges shiver and sigh, "Alast
Fruit like to flower, is doomed to perish sad
to P03S."
The creeper crimsons on the garden wall.
The last pale rose upon the gable gray.
Fair; but funereal, deeerates decay.
The rounded apple reddens to Its fall.
And Autumn winds her mist, to weave the)
wintry pall.

Profitable Convict Farms.
Louisville Commercial.
The penitentiary board of control at
Mississippi has made its farming arrange,
ments for another year, leasing the same
plantations that were worked this year.
These several big farms, all of which are
in the delta, comprise 93S0 acres of cleared
land, on which 720 convlets will be used.
In addition to these, the state owns and
farms 3000 acres or Its own land, on which
ISO convicts will ba employed. Mississippi
has found that farming with convict lahor
Is profitable, the net revenues this season
being estimated at at least 51CO.00O, and
for that reason the last Legislature ap
propriated $80,000 for the purchase of an
other tract of not more: than 12,000 acres.
