AOME, Oct. 21.—Bomé time after the recent eonclave the ‘Vatican was sur- prised at a report from the United States that a high prelate of the church there had spoken repeatedly of the’ possibiilfy of geveral Americans helng nominated car- ‘dinals. _As the good faith of the prelate ‘in question could not be doubted it was wupposed that he was Iaboring under a misapprehension. His apparent mistake can easily be ex- plainéd. Europeans generally and Ttallans in, particular use the term “American” as applying to Canadians; citizens of the United States and South Americans equally. ‘According to this custom, thereforc, even if the pope, who does not speak English, mentioned his Intention to create several American cardinals, he did not mean that they should come exclusively from the United States. The argument has been made ‘that the United States, con- alderifig its. 13,000,000 Catholics, has not a ,sufficient number of representatives in the Bacred college, that Canada has been with- out a cardinal since the death of Cardinal .Tascheredu in 188 and that the whole of Central and South America, with a Cath- Lolle population of over 50,000,000, never had one. Brazil, the largest of the Latin- American dountries, has repeatedly asked 1or a cardinal, not only through its clergy, . but directly through the government. This the United States has always refused to do. Wi By an, It is probable that the archbishop of Rio danejra will be the first South Ameri- _can prelate to be raised to the purple, but "1 this is done it will be difficult to refuse .the same favor to Mexico, which has o _Catholic population equal to Brazil, and even: more difficult not to extend the priv- ‘flege to the archbishops.of Buenos Ayres and Santlago, where the bishops have been rivals’for the red It for years. It has been suggested, In order to make mm for new' cdardinals, to reduce the ardinals in those countries who do not #éem to be sufficlently appreclative of the ‘privilege as, for Instance, France, which normally has seven cardinals. The sug- gostion also has been made to continue the system Inaugurated by Leo XIIL to bring about & better balance between the num- Bers of forelgn and Itallan cardinals. “In the ‘United States there are several archbishops whose high attainments it them to enter the sacred college. Arch- bishop Ryan of Philadelphia is considered first among those, but the situation is such AhAt not ofily the péréonality of the man to e selected must be considered, but also the importance of the geographical situation of the archdiocese. If a new cardinal were to be naméd the ‘velatlve importance. of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louls must be considered, as, owlng to thelr positions in' the Catholle world, elther one, of them would he worthy to be the See of the new prince of the church. The . especially in the matter of nominat- cardinals, can make an unexpected @ecision at any moment, but according to opinion prévailing at the Vatican, it Is not lkely. that in the next consistory, or the one fellowing, will a red hat be likely fo be seiif to the United States. | King Tenders Hia Sympathy. _LONDGN, Oct. #.—Once again King Rdward has shown his sympathy with wictims Jof .gppendicitis.

CONSUL LANGER ON A VISIT He Tells About the Wonderful Cutlery Business Carrifed On at Solingen. Hon. Joseph J.

Mr. Langer is in good health, but left his family on the other side ex- pecting to return to them by the end of next month. “I like my place at Solingen,” said Mr. Lunger, “but I would like, it better if it were in this country. The industries of the city are confined almost exclusively to cutlery and fine steel, there being upwards of fifty factorles and establishments that are doing exporting trade. They have the business wonderfully systematized and the territory of the whole world divided up among themselves.

The letter Aays the writer invited a searching investiga- tion of wll his acts and was assured a hearing and an opportunity to meet any Accusations against him. He says he fur- nished the inspectors all Information asked of him, though much bf it was irrelevant, notwithstanding he was satisfied they were seeking his indictment. The letter adds: My right to practice my profession is one of which I ought not and cannot prop- erly be divested without a full and impar- tial hearing agcording to law. The govern- ment has preferred its charges against me in the courts and I am ready and anxious to meet them; indecd, I am glad of the opportunity to put this matter in its true light before a court and to show that the allegation that I entered into an unlaw- ful conspiracy with General Tyner, a man who has lived nearly elghty years re spected and honored among men, and pre- sided over the department now in your charge, js as absurd as it is false Saspends Indicted Official, Secretary Hitchcock, who has been {1l with a cold, was at his desk today for the first time sinde the middle of last wéek. His first act was to order the suspension of Asa B. Thompson, receiver of public moneys at the land office at La Urande, Ore., who was Indicted yesterday on the charge of bribery. “And there will be others,” he sald, “whenever similar cir- cumstances are discovered in connection with them.” He declined to say more con- Gerning the reported frauds in connection with the public Jands than that they are recelving careful attention and have been since January § last, when the secretary sald the investigation was begun. He also vaid that proeeedings have been started against Miss Ware, who Is a commis- sloner of deeds and is charged with issu- ing certificates In 300 cases of fraudulent land entrie: Surgeons Want Titlex. The annual report of Surgeon General Rixey to the secretary of the navy says a dissatisfaction has existed for a long time among the members of the medical corps in regard to the titles which are given them in different grades of the corps. He recommends . that congressional action be asked for authority to rename the different grades of the medical corps now existing, as follows: In place of surgeon general, surgeon ad- miral; and in the other grades, medical di- rector to become surgeon captain; medical inspector, surgeon commander; * surgeon, surgeon lleutenant commander; passed as- slstant surgeon, surgeon lieutenant, and assistqnt surgeon, surgeon lleutenant, junfor grade.

Neither In extent nor in character have these tests been equaled either at home or abroad, and the bureau feels assured that when the results of the experiments are made known that the necessity and - advigabllity -of condudting extended investigation in other directions will be tade manifest. Appeal to Red Cross Soclet Macedonia's plea for aid In her distress was placed before Miss Clara Barton, the head of the American Association’ of the Red Cross today. Constantine Stéphanove, the special Macedoinan delegate, told Miss Barton of the urgency of the situation and begged her to take immediate action to insure the forwarding of Red Cross re- lief to Macedonla. Miss Barton asked for detalled Information as to the character and scope of the ald needed and suid: The Red Cross feels that it would be a humane and noble thing for the Amerivan | eople to undertake to relieve the suffer- ng in Macedonia. Such & movement would be in keeping. with American tradition . in similar emergencies. The situation, in view of the approach of winter, would seem to require a systematic, substantial and immediate effort on the part of the cople generally. Diplomatically the prob- lem would be an extremley delicate one, and would require discretion and experfence for its successful solution. Stern isx Bound Over.

DEEPENS COUNTY BRIDGE MESS Deecision of Supreme Court and Action of tHe Board Leaves Things in Muddle. The county commissioners are’ now con- fronted with difficilties in the matter of gonstructing & number of bridges which are very much in demand in various parts of the county. At thelr ‘meetind Monday the commis- sioners revoked thelr contract with R. Z. Drake. A contract coveriug a period of two years had been made with Mr. Drake to build the county's bridges. A recent declsion of the supreme court has changed the condition so materially under. which the county bridge work can be done that the contractor feared to go ahead and do the work which had been .ordered, think- ing he might not be able to recover for the work he would do. The supreme court has decided that the contracts for bridges shall be & matter of compatition and that each competitor shall submit plans and specifications for the bridge or bridges it is proposed to bulld, and also that the county eommissioners shall prepare their own plans @md specifications for these structures. The question now before the board s whether its action rescinding or revokin Mr. Drake's contract is binding. It is heid to be @ matter of vital concern that the bridges contemplated shall be constructed at the earliest possible moment. Things have gotten in such a condition throughout various‘portions of the county as to render some of the roads well nigh impassable, This state of affairs, it was argued, could not longer continue and ! thought that the best way to get around the difficulty wi to revoke Mr, Drake's contract and proceed along another ling In the effort to have some of the bridges placed before the advent.of winter. Near Klkhorn, there is & well traveled road where it is impossible to get a team across the Eikhorn river without gping five miles either.. wax fo . another . bridge, A farmer desiring to haul a small load of produce or any other commodity to or from | town must go out of his way. Thé eitizens of Elkhorn have protested that this hurts their city. Complaints have come in from other portions of the county and have been couched In such strenuous terms that it is not possible to_longer jgnore them. A list of bridges which it is held are ab- solutely necessary at thig time has been prepared and is now in the hands of a com- mittee. This matter will come up for ad- Jjudicatfon at the next meeting of the com- mimllonel"l.
