They were called 1 to take , toward true catholicity 1 the genius of catholicity. It was yvement in the interest of Christian and the church could afford to take st step as an object lesson to the ultimately end in the present divided am of denominations flowing unitedly toward the true Catholic church. Instances of Swedish congregations jdentifying themselves with the church in Minnesota, as contemplated by the pro- posed canon, were cited by Rev. W. Nich- ols of this city, who made a plea for a true American catholicity, and appealed to the convent; on to have the courage of ecclesi- statesmanship. . Georze M.

James 8. Biddle of Philadelphia, in a brief address, covered the majority report with ridicule. Amid murmurs of appro- bation he said that they had had enough of the Lambeth conference. It had done no good; it had done the cause of Chris- tian unity no ezood. Anglomaria per- vaded the American church to aito- gether too large an extent, and it ought to be driven out. The time had not yet arrived when this church was prepared to - oven its doors to every little church that had a little row of its own. Such people were not desirable. The entire proposition savored of a holeand corner business; it was a dark and dismal dream, a nightmare to be dreaded. Dr. Rhodes of Southern Ohio spoke in favor of unity, and Mr. Fairbanks azainst, and after Drs. Froude and Huntington bad closed for their respective sides the ballot was taken. When the result was announced the victorious element ex- shanged congratulations, while' Dr. Hunt- ngton was surronnded by bis friends, who irged him to continue to stand by the sause. | into closer and more intimate relations. | fact that the women’s auxiliary had given fitness. | morrow evening i Western Michi- | ina and Southern | ian people, and which would:| sistant Bishop Gailor of Tennessee read the report of the joint committee on Christian education, which after recognizing the growth of sentimeént in favor of Christian education, and stating the general grounds on which such education is urged, recom- | mended an energetic and systematic work | in the Sunday-schools. The needs of the | lower schools were presented by Rev. Dr. Robert Doherty of Omaha, whothought that the church shoula adopt some general plan of educational work whereby the secondary schools and the colleges might be brougit He a!so urged the needs of a church college for women. i A resolution came in at the end of the | meeting from Dr. Fulton. It recom- | mended that the board of regents con sider the question of uniting all the divin: ity schools into a theologieal university in connection with the general theological seminary. The resolution was adopted and the meeting adjourned. | The House of Bishops nominated Rev. Peter Trimble of Saulte Ste Marie, Mich., | as a candidate for the new bishopric of Alaska, and Rev. Joseph M. Francis of Japan, formerly of this State, as mission- ary Bishop of Kyoto. It also approved the resolution of the House of Deputies which had been sent forward at the in- stance of Rev. Dr. Spalding of California providing that collections be taken up on one Sunday of each year for an indigent clergy fund. At 8:30 o’clock to-night the houses of | Bishops and Deputies met in joint session | as the general missionary board, with | Bishop Doane of Albany presiding. A | lengthy report on the women’s auxiliaries, | junior auxiliaries and Order of Deacon- | esses was presented by Deputy Whittaker | of Pennsylvania, who laid stress upon the $1,000,000 to the cause and deserved the support of the Bishops and the church at large. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That any woman hereafter receiving | appointment under the Board of Missions shall | be required to have at least six months’ train- | ing in one of our church training-schools or | some kindred institution, unless the board of managers or the Bishops to whose jurisdiction she is to be sent has personal knowledge of her | On the consideration of colored work in | the South it was decided, on motion of the Bishop of Maryland, that the commission on work among the colored people be re- quested to consider the feasibility of placing a colored man upon the commis- sion.

They also aver | that at the time the will was made the de- ceased was of sound and disposing mind. _| Mrs. Emma L. Parker, the contestant of | the will, is the widow of Edward L. Par- ker, the only/ son of George H. Parker. The son, who died shortly after his ather’s death, was left only the income on | | $10,000 out of an estate of about $300,000 in | | value. The son lived in Hartford, Conn., | and for many years was not on good terms | with his father. | Serious reflections upon the character | of the son’s wife had been made and they were charged with living a notorious life in Hartford. This so enraged the father that he disposed of the estate among dis- tant relatives, cutting his son off almost entirely. ———— MES. WELCOME BOOTH. The Salvation Army and W. C. T. U.

[From a photograph by Boysen.] candidates claim the victory for their in- | dividual men, ard at the present time it | would seem that the chances of Lawson (D.), Wilson (R.), Steinman (Ind.D.) and Hubbara (Citizens’ party) are nearly equal. Hubbard being the standard-bearer of | the Citizens’ party, backed as he is by the American Protective Association, who are making a personal house-to-house canvass in his favor, is suppored to be developinga | strength which is difficult to estimate and | may be hard to overcome. Steinman’s friends are simply standing by him shouider to shoulder, and are fighting hard to increase his strength in all quarters. It is said that he possesses the backing of the entire Police Depart- ment and their friends, the employves of SAN JOSE, CaL., Oct. 17.—Marshal and | the city cemetery, the Fire Department, | 4 the city water works and the gas com- pany’s employes, while it is claimed that ;- : | the suit brought by Mrs. Emma L. Parker | he has many friends in the machine-shops of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Wilson, the Republican nominee, it is claimed will receive the bulk of the rail- road-shop vote and will draw largely on the Catholic portion of the community, who are exhibiting considerable anxiety as to the figure which Hubbard will cut at the polls. In fact, both the Republican and Inde- pendent candidates are also betraying anxiety to learn the progress of the unique campaign being prosecuted by the Citizens’ nominees. Wilson also possesses the backing of most of the political bossez, who seem to have united their forces in favor of the en- tire Republican ticket. Frank Rhoads, who for thirty years has demonstrated his ability to land the nomi- nees of the Republican party in their de- sired positions, has again assumed the leadership, and clairas that he is confident of party success all along the line, with ‘Wilson at the head. The first really important victory achieved by the “Little Napolecn,” as he is called, was in what has long been known as the “‘Spittoon’’ convention, held in 1865, when he assumed the reins of control over the local Republican factions. In 1872 when Newton Booth was nomi- | nated for the gubernatorial chair, Rhoads fully demonstrated his political general- ship by engineering Booth’s nomination and subsequent election. Since that time he has been a boss and manager of State, county and city politics and has been a member of the Republican State Central Committee for nearly twenty years. He also handled Leland Stanford’s interests and is accredited with having materially assisted in successfully conducting his battle. In 1893 a split occurred between the “Little Napoleon” and the railroad com- pany. The latter having slated J. Brusie for the Senate, desired Rhoads to forward his interests, but ‘having already pledged himself to E. C. Hart for that position Rhoads refused to accede to their demands and in the ensuing fight triumphantly elected his chosen candidate, In addition to his work as a politician, Rhoads owns an interest in a saloon and a faro bank. He is credited with affording “‘protection” to the game, which runsal- most the year round, only letting up for a brief period during the session of each Grand Jury. Rhoads is one of the best organizers in the State. He is a pictu- resque character in local and State politics, by many being regarded as the “Buckley of Sacramento.” Like the blind boss of San Francisco, he never aspires to any political position bevond membership in the central .committee, but is content to push his favorites to the front and take chances, like the “dead game sport” that he is, or playing even after the fight has been won. e —— Oldest Mason in the State.

SEATTLE, Wasn., Oct. 17.-~The main slope of the Oregon Improvement Com- | pany’s mines at Franklin, in this county, is on fire and at least three men are sup- posed to have perished. The fire has been raging since about noon, and great volumes of smoke and flame are belching forth | through the mouth of the mine. Details | thus far are meager, news of the disaster | having reached this city late this after- noon. The_fire broke out between the fifth and sixth levels and in_a few minutes was burning fiercely. Forty or fifty men at work within made a rush for liberty, and it is believed that all escaped save three. The telephone wires runuing into the mine were burned, suddenly cutting off all communication with the imprisoned miners. The scene which followed the report of another disaster in the mine where so many tragedies have occurred was one of almost unparalleled excitement. Mine Superintendent Corey left Seattle on a special train at 3 o'clock for Franklin. By an explosion in the same mine in August, 1894, thirty-six men were killed. More than that number had a most mi- reculous escape from death to-day. Reports received at 10:30 o’clock to-night from Franklin are to the effect that four persons instead of three are certainly dead, though their bodies have not been found. They were: John Glover, T. W. Smalley, John Adams and James Stafford, constitu- ting the rescue party. They went down in a hoisting stope and it is supposed they never reached bottom. It was their purpose to close the door between the main and auxiliary stope of the sixth level in order to supply their comrades at work fighting fire on the sev- enth level. It appears that the fire was started at about 8 o'clock this morning by August Johnson dropping his lamp, ig- niting the gas fissures on the new stope between the fifth and sixth levels. The fire is still burning at 11 o’clock to- night, but Superintendent Corry thinks he can succeed in closing the mouth of the mine and extinguishing the fire by mid- night. e First Rain at Fresno.

A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE TERRIBLE RUIN WROUGHT. LATE NEWS BY STEAMER THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY BRINGS TIDINGS DIRECT FROM THE SCENE. LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. HunNDREDS OF FaMILIES LEFT HoMELESs, AND MaNy THoU- SAND DOLLARS’ DAMAGE. SAN DIEGG, CAL., Oct. 17.—The most satisfactory account yet received of the great storm and flood on the western coast of Mexico was obtained to-day at Ensenada from Captain J. von Helms and passengers of the steamer Willamette Valley. The steamer arrived to-day and sailed this evening for San Francisco. She sailed from Guaymas on the 8th inst., but stopped at Altata on the 9th, and there particulars were obtained of the fearful devastation in the interior along Humaya and Tamazula rivers, and including the city of Culiacan, capital of Sinaloa. Cap- tain von Helms said: “We thought we had heard of the worst of the storm at La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo, but vastly more property was destroyed on the mainland in the region of Altata and Culiacan. We reached Altata on the 9th and beheld the fearful scenes of destruction and suffering. It made my heart bleed to see family after family utterly shelterless, hungry and wretched. ‘‘Some of the leading men of Altata esti- mated the loss in that section along the Humaya and Tamazula rivers to be about 700,000, but this I believe is not adequate. It will take years for that conntry to re- cover from the fearful hurricane and flood.” From Captain von Helms and several Mexican passengers on the Willamette Valley the following details of the great storm were learned: At La Paz forty ves- sels were driven upon the beach and twenty-one are a complete loss. The American schooner Czar, loaded with mer- chandise and dynamite for the Progreso Mining Company at El Triunfo, is on the beach and badly damaged. A total of 184 houses were swept away and a man, woman and boy were drowned. Francisco Dea Gonzales, a well-known cit- izen of La Paz, was carried down by the river, but was saved by Felipe Manriquez, who swam out and drew Gonzales from the tremendous current. Joseph Lopez is one of the heaviest losers, having lost several houses and a large store. His safe, containing $7000, was washed down the river, but was re- covered the next day. The Governor, Colonel Rafael Martinez, has extended all aid possible to the victims, assisted by the Sociedad Philantropid and by Miguel Gonzales, merchant and capitalist, who has given relief to scores by donating houses and provisions. The little town of San Pedro on the peninsula was entirely swept away, though | no lives were lost. At Palo Alto ranch, | near San Pedro, a house and land were carried into the sea and iwo children | drowned. The mother and daughter were saved. The father looked on and saw his children drowned and was unable to help them. At the mining camp of E1 Triunfo | hous several people hurt. At San Jose del Cabo the Santa Anita River carried away nine miles of orchards | and sugar cane plantations, and the Wil- | lamette Valley, passing that portion of the coast on the return trip, sailed through a sea of sugar cane washed out by the river. Harrowing stories of suffering and star- vation were reported from San Jose del Cabo, Todoes, Santos Cabo, San Luis, San Pedro and other litile towns on the end of the peninsula. At Altata, on the mainland, the people reported that the storm began on the morning of October 1, speedily growing into a hurricane. On October 2 at noon, with the wind from the south and south- east, the storm reached a terriric force, and the sea entered the lower streets of the town, covering the plaza. At Aranzubias the steamer Diego ran on the bar and was seriously injured and freight sacrificed. The steamer was in the lee of Venado Island during the height of the storm in company with the steamer Romero Rebio, but ran aground at Altata and broke her rudder post and suffered other damage. The schooner Cometa ran on tke rocks at Alturmura Island, and isa total loss. The railroad and telegraphic communi- cation between Altata and Culiacan was destroyed by the storm and Bebelama bridge was carried away. Trains stop at Navolato and Cofradia. The scene at Altataduring the height of the storm was { described as terrible. House after house was washed away and the roofs of others were raised by the hurricane and dashed into the streets. The sea was lashed into a fury and the breakers dashing against the wharf finally demolished that struc- ture, scattering the debris all along the beach and carrying it to sea. The sea out- side of Altata was full of timber, coming from the houses at that town and trom the Culiacan River, indicating that great dam- age had resulted in the interior. Piaxtla, San Ignacio, Sinalo, Fuerte and Culiacan rivers were flowing great yellow floods into the sea when the steamer passed that coast, and in all were masses of debris, trees, timbers, sugar cane and cattle. Mayor Tavela at Altata organized a re- lief corps and is doing all he can to aid the sufferers. Twenty houses were lost and fifty to seventy-five families are homeless and suffering. No lives were reported lost at Aliata. but one woman was found drowned at Navolato, and a child at Mo- holo. Several entire families are missing from Navolato and searching parties have been in the woods since the storm. Two cables were rescued from the top of high trees by canoemen, indicating the immense beight of the flood. Word was received from Culiacan just before the steamer sailed from Atlanta, a courier having crossed the gap in the railroad be- tween Navolato and Cofradia by swimming the river at Bebetama bridge. He brought the most disheartening news from the city of Culiacan and the townsof Aguaruto, Llebabito, Tamazuk, Bachigualato. Ota- meto and Bachimeto. On October 1 and 2 tha storm strueck s were carried away by the wind and. Culiacan and the Humaya and Tamazula | irivers, emptying into Culiacan River, rap- dly grew into torrents, sweeping away 125 houses in the lower part of Culiacan. | The families thus rendered homeless took | refuge in the Courthouse and San Carlos Hotel, but great suffering could not be prevented and innumerable cases of famine and exposure reached Culiacan from the surrounding country. The Culiacan water-works, situated near the river, was covered with debris and water is now being delivered on burros. No attempt had been made at Culiacan to figure np the lossesin the city, and the losses to ranch property, sugar planta- | tions, cattle, etc., could only be guessed. The sugar refinery and plantation at Lastancas were carried away, rich soil being replaced by hills of sand. The loss ‘was estimated at $20.000. Several refineries and ranches at Navolato and Primavera were lost, the total loss in that neighbor- hood in the sugar indnstry alone being $50,000 to $100,000. Alberto de la Vega lost cattle valued at $4000 on Isleta ranch, aad Julian Montijos’ loss of cattle there was $3000. Property on Hacienda Mocurini was lost to the value of $4000. All the proverty of Rosas brothers, in cattle, sugar plantations and other crops was swept away. Their loss is about $75,- 000, and they have nothing left. Gabriel Lagartijo lost a fine plantation and all his cattle. The total value is about $14,000. Mendosa, Rosario, Moreno, Gonzalez, Tlalco, Rivera Hermanos, Benemerito and other plantations along Humaya River were practically destroyed. It was re- ported that the entire village of Descansa- dero and twenty people were lost. | All plantations and orchards for 100 miles along Humaya and Tamazula rivers | were injured and most of them carried | away. Merchants of Culiacan figured up& losses as well as they could from reports | coming in, and placed the figure, in round | numbers, including ranch property, sugar | plantations, cattle, etc., at $700,000. This | was based only on reports received up to October 8. The Tamazula River was reported to have risen fifteen feet in sixteen hours. The American steamer Nelson returned from upper gulf ports, and reported that the storm extended north of Carmen Island. The schooner Julieta was wrecked at Carmen Island and the Nelson rescued the crew. WATSONVILLE FOOTPADS. R. BENSACCA KNOCKED ON THE| HEAD WITH A PISTOL OR OTHER INSTRUMENT.

ASSISTED BY SEVERAL PRIESTS FROM THE LOCAL DIOCESE OF THE TERRITORY. AN EPOCH IN CHURCH HISTORY. THE CEREMONIES OPENED WITH A GRAND PROCESSION OF Vis- ITING PRELATES. SANTA FE., N. Mex., Oct. 17.—In the presence of the most influential congrega- tion that ever assemoled in a church in New Mexico, the pallium, the sacred sym- bol of archiepiscopal authority in the Catholic church, was conferred on Arch- bishop Chappelle in the cathedral of this city to-day. The investing prelate was Cardinal Gibbons of Baitimore. The cere- monies of to-day opened with a procession of all the visiting prelates and clergy, numbering about 120, from the Arch- bishop’s residence to the cathedral, where solemn high mass was celebrated by Car- dinal Gibbons, assisted by several priests from the local diocese. The sanctuary was flanked on both sides by a dozen or more Bishos, including Archbishop Chappelle, who sat on a throne on the left, next to the footrail. Opposite to him sat the venerable Arch- bishop Salpionte, the noted Indian mis- sionary in Arizona's troublesome days. On the former’s right sat the distinguished Archbishop of St. Louis, who delivered a masterly discourse on the pallium. Other Bishops included Hennessy of Kansas, Montgomery of Los Angeles, Bevens of Springfield, Mass., and Bou- garde of Arizona. The decorations were superb. Short addresses were made by Cardiral Gibbons and Archbishop Chappelle, fol- lowad by a sermon in Spanish by Bishop Bougarde, which brought the day’s cere- monies to a close.
