Mr. Rainey last year made a along the coast of north- ern and spent several weeks in _quest of blg game. After spending a winter at Etah with an Eskimo tribe Mr. Whitney returned from the north last October. His trip attracted worldwide attention because of the fact that he was the first white man to meet Dr. Frederick A. Cook upon his return to Etah. Dr. Cook told Mr. ‘Whitney he had reached the North pole and entrusted his instruments and some of his data to the care of the New -Haven sportsman. Mr. Whitney Feels It His Duty. After the refusal _of Commander Peary to allow Mr. Whitney to leave Dr. Cook’s property aboard the Roose- velt, the instruments and data were placed in a cache at Btah. According to the friends of Mr. Rainey, a stop' will be made at Etah to recover Dr. Cook’s _tni ente.

Rome, Aprll 12.—The Vatican has authorized a statement with reference to call made by Abbot Lawrcnce Janssens. one of the most learncd Benedictines and secretary of the con- gregation of the affairs of religious, on ex-President Roosevelt, on the eve- ning of the latter’s departure from Rome. Abbot Janssens did rot fim Mr. Roosevelt at home, but left Lis card, on which he wrote in French that he desired to congratulate Mr. Roosevelt for the constant support giv. en to his order and the Catholic church in general in America during his “zlo- rious career” as president, which he hoped would soon be resumed. The Vatican's statement “The Holy Father has highlv disap- proved of Father Janssens' initiative towards Mr. Roosevelt eabled through the Associated Press as tis act of his evidently lends itself to an interpretation offensive to the Ho- ly Father. Father Janssens acted through his own impulse, without any authorization from anyone whatever.” “The statement further emphasies the Vatican policy, which, to use its own words, was that “it did not wisn Mr. Hoosevelt to bracket the pope wih other more or less royal personages he will boast of having hunted in Eu- rope after his African hunt.” ON GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD Again This Year. ‘Washington, April 12.—Veterans of the Civil war, both those who wore the blue and those who wore the gray at the battle of Gettysburg, forty-eight years ago, will meet again on that fa- mous battlefield this year, if the move- ment atarted by Lieut.

Owing to the fact that veterans of both armies are responding in large numbers each year to final “Taps.” Colonel Watrous believes it would be better to hold such a reunfon this veer rather than wait until the fiftieth annjversary of the vattle.
