ARCHBISHOP GROSS
HAS PASSED AWAY
His Death Was Entirely Un
expected. HIS CAREER AN
INTERESTING ONE
Was Appointed a Bishop When Only
36 Years of Age Under His Ad
ministration the Pacific Coast Has
Made Great Strides.
Portland, Nov. 14. Aichbiehop Wil
liam Hickley Gross, of the Oregon Ro
man Catholic church, died at St. Jo
seph's hospital, Baltimore, Md., this
morning, His grace had been in ill
health for some time, and daring the
first week of last September, he decided
to visit bis old home in Baltimore.
Tben he did not expect his ailments
would terminate fatally. But almost a
week ago be took to his bed, from which
he never arose, passing into a tranquil,
eternal sleep, from general debility. His
death was an unexpected one, as up to
within a few hours of bis grace's demise
he gave evidence of recuperation.
The Catholic clergy of this city were
startled upon receiving the mournful
news, as they hoped for something bet
ter. On the late archbishop's personal
request, he will be laid to rest in hie
native city Thursday, and there will be
no time for any prealate from the Pacif
ic coast to reach Baltimore for the fu
neral. On Thursday there will be ft
grand requiem mass (Corcare Absenti).
The Most Reverend William H. Gross,
D. D., C. SS. R., third archbishop ot
Oregon, was born in the city of Baltimore,
Md., on June 12, 1837. The GroBS fam
ily came originally from Alsace, and its
American founder, Jacob Gross, and his
eon, John J. Gross, took part in the de
fense of Baltimore in 1812.
The archbishop received his early ed
ucation at the parochial school, attached
to St. Vincent's church, Baltimore. In
this chnrch he also made his first com
munion. In 1857 he was invested with the re
ligious habit and formally began bis ca
reer as a Redemptorist novice. On April
3, 1858, he made his first vows, when his
aim was centered upon becoming a per
fect Redemptorist. In March, 1863, the
deceased prelate was ordained a prelate
at Annapolis, Md., by Archbishop Ken
rick, of Baltimore.
He remained a part of the time as
army chaplain at Annapolis. His ex
periences during the civil war were of a
trying order. He was almost incessant
ly in the hospital, the field of battle, the
skirmish line or the lonely outpost.
When Archbishop GroBS was promoted
to the archiepiscopal see of Oregon in
1885, he could point to a splendid cathe
dral erected by bis exertions among a
people of scanty means, the number of
priests increased to" twenty-seven,
churches and chapels to thirty, institu
tions and orphan asylums to fourteen.
And all this was done in a Catholic popu
lation not exceeding 25,000.
When Archbishop Seghers resigned in
1S84, in order to devote his ,life more
particularly to the Indian missions of
the extreme Northwest the holy see
selected Bishop Gross to succeed him.
It was at his instance that the Bene
dictine Fathers at Mount Angel opened
a college for the higher education of the
young, which is advancing yearly in the
number of its pupilB and the efficiency
of its training. Later on, at his request,
a lesser and a greater seminary have
been added, so that young Oregonians
are now provided right at borne with
all the facilities seeded for attaining the
education, required by the church in
candidates, for the priesthood.
The Christian Brothers have also been
ntroduced into Oregon to take charge of
St. Michael's college and the parachial
school attached to the. cathedral. Acad
emies for the education of young ladies
have increased from eight to twenty. In
addition to the religious orders of wo
men already in the diocese, six addition
al orders have been introduced. In other
works of charity his zeal bas been no
less manifested.
On the 26th, 27th and 28th of last
April the silver jubilate cf Archbishop
Gross was celebrated here. On this oc
casion, which was the greatest church
event in the history of Oregon, a beauti
ful residence was presented to him.
MURDER IN
SCH00LH0USE
Fatal Wind-up of a Debate in Coos
County Ray Hollenbeck Stabbed
to Death by Guy Beckford.
Empire City, Or., Nov. 13. Saturday
evening, about midnight, afatalstaboing
affray occurred near Fairview in what
was known as the North Fork school
bouse. From what can be learned of
the occurrence, the particulars are as
follows :
A debate had been held in the school
house that evening, and after it a dis
pute aiose between Ray Hollenbeck and
Guy Beckford, two young men. . The
cause of the dispute was the moving of
the blackboard and the desks. One word
brought on anotber, until Hollenbeck,
who seemed to be the aggressor, wanted
Beckford tc fight. They were separated
once by Frank Pierce, and left alone in
the school house for a few moments. On
Pierce's return he found that they had
renewed the quarrel, Hollenbeck again
pressing Beckford to fight. He was told
to stand back, but still kept coming.
Becktord told him that if he came any
closer that he would stab him. Hollen
beck said if there was any stabbing that
he could stab, too. And as he reached
for his knife, Beckford struck him a
fatal blow. On receiying the blow Hol
lenbeck called out, "I am killed," bent
over and began to vomit, and died al
most instantly.
Beckford made no attempt to escape,
but went to his father and mother, who
were staying close by in the house of
a neighbor. He told them what be
had done. He is almost heartbroken
over the awful consequences of his rash
act. The body of Hollenbeck is still in
the school house where he was killed.
Millions Given Away)
It is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land who
are not afraid to be generous to the needy
and suffering. The proprietors of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Caughs and Colds, have given away over
ten million trial bottles of this great
medicine; and haye the satisfaction of
knowing it hasabeoluteIy cured thous
ands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bron
chitis, Hoarseness and diseases of the
Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely
cured by it. Call on Blakeley A Hough

Dawson Visited by a Fire.
Skagway. Alaska, Nov. 7, via Victoria,
B. C, Nov. 14. Returning Klondikers
today bring news that the city of Daw
son has been visited with a $500,000 fire,
in which forty buildings were burned.
The blaze was started as the result of a
row between two women of the town, in
which one of them, Belle Mitchell, threw
a lighted lamp at the other. The lamp
oroke, the oil Bpread, and in a few sec
onds the building was on fire. The fire
of a year ago was caused by this same
woman, who threw a lamp at a man
with whom she had a quarrel.

SPANIARDS MAKE '
A FINAL STAND
Hangs on Nature of Their
Next Proposal.
JOINT SESSION
POSTPONED
Dons Will Probably Refuse to Sign a
Treaty Which Yields No More to
Spain for the Philippines Than Has
Thus Far Been Offered, and When
The Americans Refuse to Concede
More, Announce Their Withdrawal
From the Negotiations.
Paris, Nov.14. Owing. to the inability
of the Spaniards to prepare a memoran
dum for presentation as expected, there
will be no joint session of the peace com
mission today. The next meting will
be held Wednesday.
Importance is attached to the delay,
it being indicative that the Spaniards
are preparing for a final stand, and it
may be definitely stated that they will
not sign a treaty of peace which yields
no more to Spain for the Philippines
than has thus far been offered or indicat
ed by the Americans.
Should the latter announce that the
United States is only willing to reim
burse Spain for her pacific expenditures
in the Philippine islands, the Spanish
commissioners will reply that their mis
sion is finished. Should this occur, it is
possible the Spaniards will suggest the
suspension of negotiations through the
commission and the resumption of nego
tiations between Washington and Ma
drid. At the next meeting, the Americans
will learn the definite attitude of Spain
on any proposition thus far made. The
Spaniards, however, in this presentation
will not declare all negotiations closed.
They will insist that the sovereignty of
Spain over the Philippines is beyond
question, but will announce Spain's
readiness to yield that sovereignty for
adequate equivalent, and will invite ne
gotiations under the Spanish construe'
lion of the protocol. Thus Spain will
be able to say to her creditors that she
has done her utmost, and the issue must
rest between them and the United
States,
