CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—The timely arrival of three carloads of eggs from San Fran- cisco to-day prevented a hen fruit famine in the Chicago market. As it was, the consignment did not stop the putting up of prices to the almost prohibitive mark of 28 cents per dozen on the street, which means 40 cents a dozen to consumers. Other consignments are on the way from San Francisco, some of which are ex- pected to-morrow, and it is thought prices will not go higher. Owing 10 the recent cold wave which swept over the entire country east of the Rockies, sources of supply usually drawn on by the Chicago jobbers were cut off. Hitherto the winter supply came from Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, but for the last four weeks the hens have been too busy keeping warm, and jobbers were forced to import stocks from California. This is the first time in the history of the Butter and Egg Exchange this has been | tried. The eggs stood transportation very well, and when put on the market were rabbed off quickly at the top motch figures quoted above. Some doubt was ex- ressed by dealers to-day that California ealers would be able to supply Chicago's needs if the cold weather continued throughout the Middle West, as this is the Lenten season, when eggs are so exten- sively used in lieu of meats, and the de- mand for them theref: - e ore is greatly in: - Los Angeles Coursing.

Catholics Will Read With Deep In- terest These Words From the Fountain Head of Their Faith. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. B R e LONDON, Feb. 22.—The Rome correspondent of the Times says: “Generally speaking, the ency- clical is regarded as a qualified condemnation of the Hecker doc- trines. It would be érroneous to suppose that it condemns or di- rectly affects Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland or the group of enlightened prelates who have s0 largely contributed to the spread of Roman Cathollcisx{-l/n the United States. “It is partly the outcome of a deep-laid, long-matured intrigue, and if this is the only result of twelve months’ plotting it is clear that the latter will strengthen rather than weaken the position of the American pre- lates whom the intrigue was in- tended to overthrow. “Throughout the bitter phases of the bitter conflict which pre- ceded its publication the Pope displayed a prudence and per- spicacity astonishing in a man of his age placed in a position where unbiased information is not readily forthcoming.” D R R R R ROME, Feb. 21—The Osservatore Romano publishes to-night a letter from the Pope to Cardinal Gibbons saying: “If the term ‘Americanism’ signifies a quality peculiar to Americans and usages adapted to their customs, then we have nothing to say against it; but if it denotes the opinions expressed in the ‘Life of Father Hecker’ we are con- vinced that the American Bishops will be the first to reject them.” The Pope’s letter especially reproves opinions concerning the relaxation of discipline and the non-observance of doctrinal points as a pretext for at- tracting dissenters to Catholicism, the direction of souls by.inspiration of the Holy Ghost, independent of priestly control; the diversion of virtue into ac- tive or passive criticisms of the old re- ligious orders, and concerning unusual methods of preaching Catholicism to dissenters. The letter, which occuples five col- umns in the Osservatore Romano, be- gins by lauding Cardinal Gibbons and the American Catholics. Alluding to the many proofs of good will he has given them in the past, the Pope wishes them to see in the present document proof of his affection for America. While he makes it clear that the let- ter is one of warning and correction with reference to the “Life of Father Hecker,” his Holiness carefully dis- tinguishes between the doctrinal as- pects of the new theories and questions of practical discipline and strongly urges the impossibility of any change in_the former. Whiie admitting the church has al- | ways recognized and acted upon the | necessity of adapting certain points of discipline to modern requirements, it rests with the church, the Pope points out, and not with individuals, to de- termine how and when such adapta- tions can be made. “All virtues,” says his Holiness, “must necessarily be active. The con- tempt shown by ignovators for what they are pleased to call the passive virtues has naturally led to a contempt of religious life as suited only to the weak and as an impediment to Chris- tian perfection and to the good of the community.” This error the Pope energetically con- | demns, declaring it “injudicious to the religious orders and in contradiction to history.” He reminds the Americans of their indebtedness to the religious orders, both active and contemplative. ’ The letter arouses deep interest in Rome. The Liberal papers declare that it constitutes a ‘“‘solemn manifestation of the intransigent spirit of Catholi- cigsm,” and predict that it will produce an immense effect in America. HAVANA GREETS THE CUBAN GENERALISSIMO Gomez Given a Military Welcome and Tendered an Elabordte Banquet. HAVANA, Feb. 21.—General Gomez arrived last night at Matanzas from Cardenas. He was met by Major Gen- eral Wilson, Military Governor of the Department of Matanzas; General San- ger, Military Governor of the city of Matanzas, and the Cuban general, Betancourt, who is in command of the Cuban forces in Matanzas province. From the railway station he was es- corted by the Eighth Massachusetts volunteers, the Second United States Cavalry and several local .clubs to the palace, where he is the guest of the civil Governor. A reception was given in his honor soon after his arrival, but he did not deliver an address. This evening he was tendered an elaborate banquet. Governor General Brooke has di- rected General Ludlow to recelve the Cuban commander-in-chief on his ar- rival here with appropriate military honors. General Chaffee, the Governor General's chief of staff, who, with other military men, will sail for Matanzas at noon to-morrow on the Hartford, ex- pects to be present at General Wilson's ball. If he meets General Gomez he will invite him to come to Havana on the Hartford. General Brooke is de- termined to show General Gomez all possible courtesy. s 3 AR BOB BURDETTE TO WED.

SAMPSON HANGS A DEAD WEIGHT UPON DEWEY Row in the Navy May Cause the Manila Hero to Lose Deserved Promotion. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Rear Admiral Dewey may be prevented from receiving the reward of promotion to be an admiral to which the country believes him to be entitled by the unseemly squabble for pre- cedence that has grown up between Rear Admiral Sampson and Rear Ad- miral Schley. Chairman Boutelle of the House Committee on Naval Affairs has not taken any steps to have the bill to revive the grade of admiral and vice admiral brought up in his committee and the indications are that he will not do so. ‘When I asked him about it to-day he said he knew nothing whatever about the Senate bill, and if it was before his committee he did not know it. He de- clined to discuss the suggestion that the Senate bill was being held up in the interest of Rear Admiral Sampson, but gave me to understand very clearly that he believed if the grade of admiral should be revived the grade of vice ad- miral should be revived also. 5 I talked with several other members of the committee, and it was apparent that they concurred with Chairman Boutelle in this view and that the house committee was determined that no legislation should be enacted that would permit the promotion of Rear Admiral Dewe- +-~+ did not carry with it a provision for the promotion of Rear Admiral Sampson. The whole matter is in the hands of Chalirman Boutelle, the other members of the committee say, and it is upon him, therefore, that the responsibility must rest if Congress fails to make provision for a suitable reward of Rear Admiral Dewey. Friends of Rear Admiral Schley in the House declare that if Mr. Boutelle persists in his determination to make the provision for the revival of the grade of Admiral conditional upon the revival of the grade of Vice Admiral also the bill will provide for two Vice Admirals before it is passed, so that Rear Admiral Schley will go up with Rear Admiral Sampson. Rear Admiral Schley’s dignified and manly defense of his conduct in the Cuban campaign, forced from him by the efforts of the Navy Department to smirch his record, was the subject of general comment among public men here to-day. It has emphasized in the most forcible manner what many Sen- ators and Representatives have be- lieved for a long time—that a deter- mined conspiracy has existed among administration officials to discredit the brilliant work of Admiral Schley at Santiago to the advantage of Admiral Sampson. There is much indignation among Senators interested in the controversy | concerning the promotion of the two| officers over the startling disclosure | showing that either the Navy Depart- | ment or Admiral Sampson willfully | kept from the correspondence prepared to throw discredit on the work of Ad- miral Schley the letter of May 20 show- ing that he was obeying the order of | Admiral Sampson in remaining at Clen- | fuegos. There have been many inquiries from | Benators to-day as to the circumstance | attending the suppression of this letter. | At the Navy Department I was in- ; formed by an official who is acquainted with the sentiments of the Secretary | and of the board which reported the facts on which that official based his communication to the Senate that it| was true it was not included in the Secretary’s letter nor in the appendix | to the report of the chief of the Bureau | of Navigation. In fact it had not been | transmitted to the department by Rear | Admiral Sampson or Rear Admiral | Schley. ; “But even if the department had had | the letter,” he continued, “it would| probably not have communicated it to the Senate. That letter is merely an amplification of the orders given to| Commodore Schley on May 19 directing | him to proceed to Cienfuegos and block- ade that port. As the order of May 19| was revoked by the order given to| Commodore Schley on May 21 directing him to ‘proceed with all dispatch, but | cautiously, to Santiago,’ so was the or- | der of May 20 which Commodore Schley | quotes, and in fact all orders prior to | the receipt of the order of May 21.” The publication of Admiral Schley’s | statement has undoubtedly made him a | great many friends in the Senate. For the sake of the good name of the navy, however, I find there is a general dispo- | sition to bring the controversy to an | end by confirming both officers to the | grades for which they have been nomi- | nated by the President. BENCH CLAIMS PROVING RICH Many Located Along the Porcupine. BY HAL HOFFMAN, Speclal Dispatch to The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. 16 (via Van- couver, B. C., Feb. 21.).—Bench claims are the latest from Porcupine. Ever since the benches of the Klondike were found so rich not a creek in Alaska, British Columbia or the Northwest Territory is prospected where gravel from the side hills is not sacked, car- ried down to the water and panned. This has been productive of some very good surface prospects in the Tahkin, a creek in the Porcupine district. Some of these claims are in a basin and all the indications are good. Discovery on the Tahkin was staked on January 31, and the country is all pretty well lo- cated by this time. A good indication that something is to be found in the Porcupine district is the fact that men continue to go in there and prospect in the snow under the greatest difficulty and with the greatest labor. The Tah- kin empties into the Chilkat about nine miles from salt water. Its location, which is really on the trail to Porcu- pine, shows that no creeks in the re- gion are overlooked. It looks as though not less than 1000 locations will be made in the Porcupine country before the snow is gone, if the present rate of travel continues, and there.is no sign that it will not. Re- ally few prospects are made, owing to the great depth of the snow. If some- body shovels down through the snow, burns out a hole in the gravel and finds colors that is sign enough for all comers. The whole creek is staked on the snow. Many of the men have powers of attorneys which they use in making locations for friends, or for anybody ‘else, for a consideration. An advantage of the Porcupine country is that Haines Mission, Chilkat or Pyra- mid Harbor are close enough to be used as a base of supplies. The Indians are | beginning to sled stuff for the pros. pectors. At last accounts the thermometer | showed 20 degrees below zero and over | much of the country there is twenty feet of snow. It is colder up in the Chilkat country than in any other re- gion in Southeastern Alaska. at Juneau $1 50. Scores are flocking to Haines Mission from Skaguay. Juneau is the last port of importance before reaching Haines Mission and outfits can be purchased here as cheap as at Se- attle, with the freight saved. Juneau stocks are carried here for the purpose of outfitting miners, and it may be to the advantage of the public to know that dealers who have been doing a mining outfitting business for many years know better what a gold seeker needs and how to put it up than re- tailers of less experience. Small steam- ers run from Juneau to Haines Mis- sion. The large ships do not stop there, as there are no docks. A Skaguay lawyer found that many claims on Pine and Spruce and sther creeks in Atlin were illegally located as to dimensions, and otherwise. He had them all remeasured and located at considerable expense, iIntending to jump them at the proper time and sell them to the highest bidders at Skaguay and Atlin City. The exclusion act came along, knocking the scheme in the head. and the attorney is now looking around for other worlds to conquer. A good effect is already apparent from the exclusion act. It is driving newcomers and gold seekers who have been waliting for weeks into American territory back of Haines Mission, the Porcupine and elsewhere to prospect where a man may locate twenty acres instead of 250 and 150 foot claims.

German ExpertersiAre Crowding Out the Americans. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—Hon. God- frey Hunter of Kentucky, Minister of the United States to Guatemala and Honduras, arrived in Washington to- day. Speaking to-night of the general depression in Guatemala, he says it is due to the low price the coffee crop has been bringing during the past two vears. Dr. Hunter expresses the opin- ion that a matter which interferes with our trade with Guatemala and other South American countries is the dis- regard of our manufacturers for the rishes of the people. The Germans se- cure the best of the trade, not because their manufactures are any better, but for the simple reason that they sell the people what they want and put it up for them as they want it shipped. Most of the imported goods have to be shipped into the interior on pack trains, and the European manufacturer, ap- preciating this, prepares his wares suit- able for that method of transportation. ——————————— ADVERTISEMENTS. Sure Rupture Cure, | Remarkable and Convincing Evidence of the Now Famous Rice Method and Its Certainty to Cure. An Aurora Man’s Experience and Recov- ery Will Interest Anyone Afflicted ‘With Rupture. More than twelve years ago a machinist in the tool room of the C. B. & Q. R. R. shops at Aurora, Ill, met with an unfortunate accl- dent causing a bad rupture. He was given ex- pert medical treatment and used what was considered & good truss, but no improvement was noted. After frequent experiments with other trusses and treatments he got hold of & little pamphlet written by Dr. Rice of Adams, N. Y., and as it was a new idea the method was tried and improvement began immediately. In a few weeks the sufferer was entirely cured. This happened twelve years ago and is now given publicity in order to offset the popular notion that a surgical operation is the only way to cure rupture. Men and woman who have been wearing trusses all their lives should write to Dr. Rice for particulars of his method, He malkes no charge for advice. The machinist reterred to above is Geo. O. Plummer, 3% La Salle St., Aurora, Ill, and a prominent mem- ber of_the Willard M. E. Church. Mr, Plummer hasn't worn his truss for twelva years and as his work in the railroad shops is trying to his muscles his permanent cure of a bad rupture is certainly sufficient to interest other unfortunates who are going through life in misery.
