Warning to Secretaries and Clerks of the Sacred College. —_— ROME, Nov. 23.—When the Cardinals composing the Congregation of the Pro- paganda met to-day they received a sharp reminder that they have at their head, in the person of Prefect of Propa- | sanda Cardinal’ Gotti, a churchman of clearly defined and strong opinions. Those present at the meeting were Car- dinals Agliardi, Vannutelll, Segna, Pierrote, Cassetta, Martinelli, Satolli, Macchi, Della Volpe and Gotti. The Cardinal Prefect in his opening on the bad impression made on both the Pon- tiff and himself by the receipt of re- | monstrances from Apostolic Delegates and from Cardinals abroad against the publication of the decisions of the Pro- paganda before they had been officially informed of those decisions and even before the decisions had been rafified by the Pontiff. This matter had gone so far, said Cardinal Gotti, that the re-| sults of the meeting of the Propaganda would be known in the United States even before the meetings of the Cardi- nals had been actually concluded. Continuing, Cardinal Gotti said that he had in the strongest manner called to the attention of all the clerks In attendance on the Congregation of the | Propaganda that it was their duty to observe the most complete secrecy, and he shed to recommend the course not only to the secretari Monsignors Vacci and Savlli, but even to the members of the Sacred College themselves, although. he added,. he did not supnose for a moment that any of them won!d condescend to lower his dignity by action contrary to the spirit of the law regulating the affairs of the propaganda. Several Cardinals greeted the speech of the Cardinal Prefect by saying: “Good,” while others considered the speech inopportune. ~These latter thought that no damage could be done publications of which the Cardinal Prefect complained, as it was known that the decisions of the propaganda alid until ratified by the Pope, while on the other hand it was pointed out that the decisions of the congregation were rarely rejected by the Pope. Some of the Cardinals expressed the opinion that it would be assuming too much in these days of wireless telegraphy to hold that the announce- ment of appointments made by the congregation could be leisurely given by mall after going through so many hands. One Cardinal pointed out that the Cardinal Prefect evidently had not considered the fact that in the matter of time Rome was six hours in advance of New York.

AUBURN, Nov. 23.—An over-abund- ance of wine was the cause of a whole- sale shooting last night in El Dorado County. The affair occurred at Eck- hardt's winery on Oregon Bar, about ten miles from here. As was the usual Sunday custom a dozen or so miners gathered at the winery and during the day all imbibed freely of Eckhardt's beverage. One of the number, Dutch Tony, familiarly called, became angry with Eckhardt and threatened to kill him When chided by the company, Tony went into a furious rage, threw his rifle to his shoulder and Eckhardt fell dead jwith a bullethole clear through his | body. Tony puiled the trigger again and another man also fell. Then a third received a shot In the arm. The now frightened miners took refuge behind closed doors and Tony sent a parting shot which splintered the center panel of the door but failed to do further | damage. Tony then went about a mile from the bullet into his own brain. men were Italians. e MYSTERY OF SKELETON NOW DEEPER IN SALINAS Officers Are Baffled in Efforts to As- certain How Cartier Met Death. SALINAS, Nov. The mystery of the death of Alex Cartier, the French rancher whose bones were found on the San Juan hills, has deepened since the investigation and inquest. The skull was broken in several pieces and seem- ed to have been crushed by a fall or heavy blows. The opinion of the jury was that the man had been killed near his home, that his body had been car- ried in a wagon to the top of a cliff and thrown over. A circumstance was recalled this | evening which adds to the murder the- ory. It is that an old German named Ernest Hellam, who had quarreled with the deceased, had died under peculiar circumstances on July 12, 1902, in a hos- | pital, and that before death, during his delirium, he had mentioned the name | of Cartier and tried to tell something, | but dled before so doing. Sheriff Nes- bitt will have the skull examined by physicians and make a full investiga- tion. ————————— VISITING QUEEN CONSORT GREETED WITH POMP | Natives of Tahiti Make Much Ado on Arrival of Sovereign of Manitia.

Ad- miral Coghlan further reports that General Reyes expects to make amica- ble relations with the special commis- | sloners for Panama now in Washing- | ton. The Navy Department aleo has re- ceived a cablegram from Rear Admiral | Glass, commander in chief of the Pa- cific squadron, from Panama, under date of the 21st, saying that the con- | ference of General Reyes and the au- thorities of Panama was without re- sult and that General Reyes had salled for the United States. It is belleved here that, aside from a proposition for Panama to assume part of the Colombian foreign debt General Reyes’ maln purpose #s to advance the suggestion that the capital of Colombia be transferred to the City of Panama. This is equivalent to the annexation of | Colombia by Panama. The opinion in! official circles here is that, though flat- tering, the proposition will be rejected by the Panama commission if for no! other reason than because through sheer weight of numbers the Colom- bians soon would control the adminis- tration of the reunited republic and the situation as to Panama would be as it was before the revolution and separa- tion.

SAN DOMINGO, Republic of Santo | Domingo, Sunday, Nov. 22.—President | Wos y Gil, in his efforts to bring about |a peaceful arrangement with the in- | surgent forces which are besieging this city, to-day called on United States | Minister Powell, the Belgian Minister, | the Minister of Hayti and the Spanish | Consul to visit the insurgent camp. | Consequently an armistice was agreed upon, to expire at noon, and the peace commission consulted with the insur- gent leaders.

Delcasse Tells Why Panama Republic ‘Was Recognized. PARIS, Nov. 23.—Foreign Minister Delcasse addressed the Chamber of Deputies to-day in reply to questions regarding campaign affairs. He opened. | with a statement In reference to the Panama question, saying: 1 am asked for Information cpncerning the attitude of France. Here is what has been done. Having recelved notlce thut Panama had constituted herself an independent re- public, we had only to consider the necessary conditions for the maintenance of order what | guarantees she offered. From the French point of view we have not been without apprehension for some time. It has been said at Bogota for several months.that the declsfon of the Colombjan Gevernment prolonging the canal concession was open to dispute, and that in 1904 the concession might be declared to have lapsed, If this theory had ever been put L e ki ] dence was destroyed during the pre- vious bombardment. The inhabitants of this city are in a state of panie. The Italian third-class cruiser Liguria and the Dutch armored cruiser De Ruiter have arrived here. The Domini= can warship Presidente went to Azua de Compostela, abont sixty miles from here, last night. The sanitary condition of San Do- mingo is good, but the poor are suffer- ing from want of food. The prices of provisions are very high. —————— Big Ferry-Boat Solano Disabled.

In the meantime the Portland and Ogden passenger trains will run by way of Stockton and local trains via South Vallejo. —————— Overdue French Bark Arriv LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23, — The French bark M. de Turenne, Captain Roux, arrived at Port Los Angeles late this afternoon, 163 days from Antwerp. She is the last but one of the five over- due vessels expécted at that port. She was nearly thirty days overdue, the delay having been caused by a series of northwest gales after she rounded Cape Horn. All on board are well. The vessel is laden with railroad iron, ce- ment and a small general cargo. —————— The great trouble with people who can't sing is that everybody else finds it out before they do. g | | | notably the contract prolonging the concession until 1910.” Delcasse continued: Under these conditions we had only to fol- | low the example set by the United States and permit our agents to enter into relations with all the agents of the new republic.

SUISUN, Nov. 23.—The trial of George | on Suisun Bay, August 18, was begun in | the Superior Court here to-day. The principal part of the day was spent in impaneling a jury. The prosecution is | being conducted by District Attorney T. | T. C. Gregory and the defense by Archie | Campbell and Charles S. Perry of San Francisco. The plea will be self-defense. | The case has attracted wide attention, | owing to the mysterious motive for the | crime. The evidence will be largely cir- cumstantial, as there was no eye-witness to the affair. Pensacola and Potter were both fishermen and the crime committed in a boat on the water several miles from land. After the crime Pensacola fled from the State and was captured in British Columbia.

This is the season of the year when Scott’s Emulsion does some of its best work. Fortifying the system against the ravages of winter is one of the most effective uses of Scott’s Emulsion; it builds up the strength of the whole body and puts one in a healthy, vigorous condition. Weak lungs, throat troubles or bronchial affections get more positive help and relief from Scott’s Emulsion than from any other source. Cod liver oil itself is very scarce just now; cheap adul- terations and mixtures of inferior oils are offered every- where. This is why Scott’s Emul- sion should be insisted upon. It never varies from the high quality and absolute purity that has made it the standard for thirty years. ‘We'll send you a sample free, upon request. SCOTT & BOWNE, 4oy Pearl Street, New York,
