In the lower fields, comprising the-collieries in Schuylkill County, some indecision on the part of the ien 1§ reported, and the impres- sion prevails that sufficient mine workers will returs to work on Monday to permit the operation, { short-hainded, of a2 number of the collieries.

MOUSE HOES N THE TRUN IF ELEPHAYT Ejected by Sneezing of the Frantic Pachyderm, A Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March SL—Traffic was blocked today for.nearly three hours in the subWay—not the one owned by Au- gust Belmont—but that contained in the trunk of an elephant named Coco, which forms one of a herd in the Barnum & Bailey circus in the Madison Square Gar- deén. Early today a mouse ran into the stall where Coco eats her hay. There was a trumpeting which bréught ‘Jim,” -the elephant’'s keeper, to the stable in a | hurry.- The elcphant put her trunk down a moment and the opening at the end of the nose-like proturverance gave the ! mouse its chance, Like a flash, the mouse disappeared up Coco’s trunk, and the stamping, bellowing and trumpeting which followed sounded through the gar- den like the claps of a thunderbolt. . Vainly Coco tried to rid herself of the obstruction in her trunk and the tickling and pain caused by the mouse nearly set her frantic. The veterinary surgeon at- | tached to the circus arrtved with two as- sistants and efter Coco had been tied he probed for the mouse, but without dis- lodging it. Then he sent for some strong red pepper, a half-pound of which he had tossed into the elephant’s mouth. Immediately there followed a sneezing 8o vioient that those who watched the proceedings thought Coco would blow her ears off. The third sneeze threw the mouse ten feet across the floor. After Coco had got a drink of water | she settled down to peace and quiet again. ——— Jury Indicts Johm H. Tennent. ST.

Bellamy Storer, wife of the retiring American Em- bagsador, has reconsidered her detérmina- tion to maintain complete l&oflée in re- gard to the controversy cal “by her husband’s recall. In the ¢o tn. terview (odu. she said: w “After l’flw the S ~ advice §T many of our frie: ticu- | | larly that of the Mar :g'_ sedux, the French Embal 1 have dedided 1 to formally deny th ever abused a. | letter of President Roeseveit, as has been | asserted. The President has never writ- | ten me on the subject of Archbighop Ire- land, except in & letter last December upon another subject. Mr. - Roosevelt, | when Governor of New York, wrote me a letter in 1900, to which the report presum- ably alludes. This letter was written to me so that I might show it to Cardinal Rampolla, then Papal Secretary of State, in_order to convince the Vatican of the friendly attitude of prominent Americans | toward Archbishop Ireland’s policy. It was all done to help our Government in | | its relations with thé Philippines. I sent Cardinal Rampolla a copy of only half of the leiter, because the other half was purely personal. That 1s all I wish to say about the matter. Neither my hus- band nor myself is going to induigé in recriminations against the President. We will, waic and see what the authorities at AVashington think right to publish about the matter. if they publish their reasons for the recall of Mr, Btorer we have many proofs of the right being on our side.” PRESIDENT PRAISES IRELAND. The letter of Mr, Roosevelt, who was then Governor of New York, dated 1900, is as follows: “I have just received your letter. I need not say what a pleasure it would be for me to do anything for Archbishop Ireland. You know how high & regard 1 have always feit for him. He répresents the type of Catholicism which, in my opinion, must prevail in the United States if the Catholic church is to attain its full measure of power and usefulness witd our people and our form of government. “I absolutely agrée with what Judge Taft said to you in his letter of March 20 with relation to that part of this prob- lem, which affects the Philippines, but the problem as a whole affects the United States as a whole. A reactionary or in any way anti-American spirit in eccle- siastical affairs would in America, in the long run, result in disaster just as cer- tainly as a similar course in political af- fairs. I may add that the bigoted oppo- nents of Catholicism are those most anxious to see triumph within the ranks of Catholiciem this reactionary spirit and { the throwing out of men who have shown COuNT U von TATTENBACH Points in the Moroccan Controversy.

ALGECTIRAS, March 31.—An agree- | ment on all points concerning the re- forms which the powers will force | upon Morocco was arrived at today and sanctioned by thé full conference. By the agreerhent, which now needs only the ratification of the Zovernments interested, the policing of pdrts of Mo- frocco is arranged thus for a term of five | years: | | _ Spain polices Tetuan and Larathe; a | | Franco-Sparish mixed police will be es+ tablished at Casa Blanca and Tangler and a French pelice force alone will | | have charge of Magador, Saffi, Masa- gan and Rabat. | This arrangement gives France feur | | Atlantic ports. | | The agrecement as to_the State Bank of Morocco gives France three shares, | |'Including those of the French synudi- | | cate.

LONDON, Mareh 31.—Although ex- pected for a fortnight, the successful outcome of the Algeciras comference on Moroctan reforms brought great relief to England, as during the past year the Moroecan question was the only one causing serious misgivings for the peace of Europe. The agreement is considered to be a vie- tory for France, whch retains the pre- ponderance of influence in the financial affairs of the empire and loses lttle of what she demanded with respect to the policing of the country, for, Jority of the powers supporting her pel- A @-. their policy. Of course, T do not feel jus- tified in interfering in any way, directly or indirectly, in the matter at the Vatl- can, but it is only fair, in response to your letter, that I shonld write you fully ana frankly of my great appreciation of Archbishop Ireland and@ of my firm con- viction that the real future of the nh— olic church in America rests with who in the main work along his. nnec.
