SEB THE IRE OFTHE CZAR IsAgainArousedbytlieFrencli ExIiiMtion Seeking the Assistance of THE DESPISED HEBREWS. The Show of Russian Friendship for France Is Tims Marred. FOLLOWING THE LEAD OF AMERICA All Europe Is Xoir Trying to Negotiate Commercial Treaties. GOSSIP FE01I THE GERMAN CAPITAL tCoprrijrM 1S31 by tlio Xcw York Associated Prcss.l Berlin May 23. A sensation has been caused by a discovery relating to the French exhibition at Moscow, which gave the Czar an occasion to show his solicitude for the French. To avoid ivuunding the feelings of the French, the committee on exhibi tion, which was in need of funds secretly applied to the Hebrew and Russian capital ists, Grunwald and Polinkoff, and got a loan on lepoitii.g 1,200,000 tickets as se curity. Gruuwald and I'oliakoff became in volvcd in a quarrel with the committee and claimed control of the entrance money of the exhibition. The rapture led to a scan dal. The Czar was incensed that the fair shoulds have fallen into the hands of the detected Israelites and to-day it wa. an nounced that the projected visit to Moscow of himself, the Czarina and their family de pended upon a scttlemcn between the com mittee and the Hebrew loan-mongers. The Czar Slay Abandon Ills Visit. If the matter is not speedily settled he will abandon his visit, in order to moid giv'ng ofienseto France bv going to Moscow w ithor.t patronizing the exhibition. He has snt the promoters of the fair an'angry inti mation that the presence of the imperial family as an assistance to Hcbicw specula tion is impossible. His ire has also been increased by the fact that during his stay in Moscow be de sired to lay the foundation tone of the monument to be erected in memory of his father, and also to open the first exhibition of Central Asiatic products held in Russ'a. The whole programme has been dropped. The Czar would now send the Grand Du'.e Yladimar to inaugurate the monument, ln'm telf remaining in St. Petersburg. A mej Mgc plainly expressing the Czar's indigna tion has been telegraphed to the Moscow authorities, stating that the original French iromoter- of the show must buy out the lebrcus. An Ia or Coinincrci.il Negotiations. The attention of the foreign office is ab sorbed in commercial treaty negotiations, some of the results of which will hate a direct bearing on Germany's relations with the United Suites. The arrangements with Italy, Switzerland and Roumania are pro gressing toward an .entente. Belgium as also negotiating with Germany, but that country is unlikel;. to be drawn within the Customs Bund. 1'ru.s" 's -overtures for a reduction of the German customs in ex change for a lessened tariff on German man ufactures, have been received in a friendly s-pirit here, but the opposition of Austria s expected to bar the way to a definitive arrangement. Austria tried to secure a reduction of the German grain tariff in favor of herself exclusively.. She, however, now raises points of the German-Austrian treaty as precluding a differential treatment for Russian imports into Germany. Serbian Pork and American Pork. Scrvia lias offered to join the co-imcrcial alliance on the baits of the free entry of her leading pioducts swine and cattle in Ger many, Austria and Hungary. As the Servian exports cross Austrian territory in order Jo reach Germany, the Berlin Govern ment w. mts the Austrian authorities to guarantee against the dancers of infection Irom Servian swine. Tiie admission of Servian pork into Germany would be incon-. sistcni with, the prohib'tion ainnnst Ameri can pork, which is acknowledged to be safer and of a superior quality. The general positions of the negotiations now ieailygie reason to expect a formida ble C ntral European cus'toms coalition, in cluding Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italv, Switzerland, Roumania and Scrvia, while Belgium, Runia mid Spain may liave par tial rcciprocitj with the Central" European bund. Don't I ike tlie Spanish-American Treaty. The effects of the American convention "tvi'h p.ii:i has begun,, to exci'e press comment-. The Hamburg papers denounce the convention n a permanent blocking out of the German trade with the Antilles. They contend that the German Spanish treaty o"f July. Ih83, affords a basis for foreign inter ierenec Fntil the pending European treaties seem to be secured no pressure upon Spain will probably b" tried. As soon as these are arranged the special privileges aliich the convention accords to America will be contested by the combined powers. The situation of France, which country is menaced with commercial isolation, dictates the Governments policy of adhesion to a moderate tariff admitting of reciprocity treaties. As far as Germ jiv i concerned, the. French Government appears to rely np'tii the maintenance of the Frankfort treaty as insuring France the "moit favored nation" treatment, but among the critical political consequences arising from Ger lAanj's Mnmerci.il alliances "a denuncia tion of the Frankfort treaty is now freely discus-nl in the official circles. Count von Scln uvalofT, the German Am ba's tdor to Russia, who is now in St. Peters burg, supports M dv Gicrs, the Russian Prime Minister, in proposing a commercial entente with Germain. M. Vlangali. M. tie Gicrs' assistant, in the face 6f those who have great influence in the Czar circle, uses his power to paralyze the negotiations as tending to weaken the alliance between France and Russia. An American Clergyman Embarrassed. Rev. Mr. Avers, a young American cler gyman who ka-s been preaching in the En glish ehapel in Berlin, has been the v ictira of a peculiar persecution. A young Ger man woman took a strong fancy "to him and made it a habit to attc.d thcclmichand p.zc obtrusively in rapt contemplation at the preacher. She followed hiin about the streets and finally went to his rooms She forced him to move from one boardinc house to another to elude her. She threatened to commit suicide before his eyes unless he listened to her suit. The American Minis ter, M r. Phelps, w as finally appealed to by Mr. Avers. Mr. Phelps communicated with the lady's family, and it being evident that her mind was unbalanced, she was sent to an asylum. TAILORS OK THE RAMPAGE. Five Thousand or Tlient on Strike Create a Scene ot Excitement In London. tBV DCJiLAT'S CABLE COMPANY. IOxnev.-, May 23. 'There were some ex citing spcucs in connection with the tailors' strike in the fashionable quarters of the city. The procession which paraded the principal streets of the "West End, 5.000 stjang, marched up Regent street shortly after 4p'elock and went along Oxford street to the marble arch. As the men passed the shops which had given in, they taised loud cheers of victory, but while going by Messrs. Hammond & Co-'s. which firm had dismissed its men be- caue they belonged, -to the union, the pro cession marched verv slowly, while the band played "The Dead March in Saul." At this time the traffic in Oxford street had become very congested, and theTnspector of Police who was on duty there requested the leaders to order the band' to st.op and at the same time togjve directions for the .men to march at a quicker rate, as tlicy were blocking traffic. This request was met with loud cries of ''Xo, no, and the' baud continued to plav. The police thereupon attempted to stop the musicians, but a crowd gathered ana prcv ented it The excitement had jiow reached an almost fevered pitch, and a hand-to-hand fight seemed likely to result, when it was found that the pfocession'had gone past the objectionable house1. Th'e order was there upon given to quick march. A great many ladies ware out shopping'atthe time of this episode, when they were terribly frightened and fled for safety into Ihe shops, while the private carriages along "the streets were nearly mobbed. EMIN PASHA'S TUMBLE." Sonic -Fresh Plastering Xow Said to bo Re sponsible for the Accident. CUV DfJiLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. London, May 23 The true story-of Emin Pasha's fall from the window of his house, which, when tlnrfact was first known, created so much talk, excited so much dis cussion, and produced so much acrimonious feeling, has at last leaked out. It shows that it was an accident, pure and'simplc. As will readily be imagined, the houses at Bagamoyo are not renowned for their solidity of structure, as the climate docs not necessi tate the use of those building materials which obtain in other latitudes. In fact, Emm's house was composed, as far as its walls went, simply of mud and plaster, and these materials were not laid on verv thickly, for thin partitions answered all practical purposes. The room in which the Pasha and his friends had been lunching on this memor able day, had recently been plastered for about a'quarter of its wav up. It was very close, too, that day, and in order to get a little more air Emin went over to the window and leaned out against the new portion which was still wet. It gave way under his weigh', and he fell headlong to the ground with the result which everybody re members well. There were only tw"o people in the room with him at the time, Mr. Stan ley and his negro servant. SISTEE ROSE GERTRUDE EXPECTED. She Will Take Her Husband to Europe to Show Him the Sights, tnr nrsLAr's cable ctomfant. London, May 23. Madame Lutz, who Is better known to the world at large as Sister Rose Gertrude, will, it is stated, shortly return to Europe as her husband wishes to visit London, Taris, Vienna, Berlin and the other chief continental cities in order to explain the hindrances and difficulties which arc pi't in the wav of those who wish tiivi'k earnestly for the improvement of the condition of the lepers in the Pacific ar.i who arc willing to devote their lives to tfcis purpose. Sister Rose Gertrude's marriage has created a great deal of discussion, but the clerical uartv has come to the conclusion tliat although when she announced her in tentions ot going to Molakoia and giving her life to the nursing of the afflicted in habitants of that place?, the idea or the pos sibility of marriage did not even come within the realm, of the practical politics of the question, yet-the vows which she took did not necessarily preclude her entering the holy state, so" long as she continued in the" performance of the work to which she had of her own frCe will consecrated her life.

He was captured, but some how matiaged to make his escape from cus tody and started at full speed along the river wall, hotly pursued by a policeman. "When he found the latter gaining on him, he deliberately jumped off the wall tothe shore below, a distanccTofSO'feet. He fell upon the boulders and arose, limped a short distance, but the injuries he had received were too great to enable him to continue, and he collapsed. The policeman, going by a safer route, descended to tlfe shore and captured his prisoner in a dying condition. ANOTHER PARLIAMENTARY SCANDAL.

It 'would appear as if there were to be no let up to the number of discoveries of intrigue which members, of the House of Commons indulge in.

The Government of Perak has just purchased the ethnographi cal collection which was made by Signor Cerruti at Xias, an island Ivhich lies on the southwest coast ot bumatra. It is a curious fact that every one of the inhabitants of this island is an ethnographical collector on his own account, but the peculiarity con sists in the fact that only specimens of hu man heads are desired," hich have been taker, by the collector himself from a living human being So great is the desire to obtain fresh spec imens that the natives often go out head hunting, and this sport is as common with them as it used to be in Borneo. Most of thehouses on the island have skulls hung up in them as ornaments or as proof of the collector's skill. i A GREAT E0YAI GATHERING.

MISS MAM'S SPLENDID PBESBKT. A School for Girls, Also, in Connection With. the Cathedral. THE PROPERTY C0NYEIED v IN TRUST FROM A STAJT COnBKSPOSDEXT. "Washington, May. 23. An identure was recorded at the City Hall to-day, whereby Miss Mary Elizabeth Mann con veyed in trust to the. American Security and Trust Company lands owned by her in Lanier Heights, the primary purpose of the trust being to devote, the property in ques tion after Miss Mann's death to a cathedral endowment for the .Protestant Episcopal diocese, of which the District of Columbia may form a part After -this object is accomplished and the cathedral foundation is otherwise sufficiently provided for, the property it to "be devoted to the support of Episcopal educational institutions. The property conveyed, as described in the indenture, is 10 lots of Elizabeth Lanier .Mann's subdivision of parts of Jackson Hill and Mount Pleasant, known as Lanier Heights. Conditions of the Trust, ' The conditions of the trust are that Miss Mann shall, during her .life, enjoy the rents, issues and profits of the property or other property that may be substituted therefor. Upon Miss Mann's death the trust company is, to liold and dispose of' the property under the direction of a board composed of the Bishop of the diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which the District shall form a part; Rev. Geoige "William Douglas,' S. T. A., and the rector and wardens for the time being of St. John's Protestant Episcopal parish in this citv. The proposes of the trust as named are, first, for a cathedral foundation or endow ment for the aforesaid diocese of the Pro testant Episcopal Church, provided that such cathedral foundation be established before the expiration of five years after the death oi Miss Mann. Secondly, when the cathedral foundation shall be otherwise sufficiently provided for, the property is to go to'the establishment and inaintenanc3 of a school for girls in con nection with the cathedral, provided that such school be established before the ex piration of ten years, after Miss Manny's death. The Tresent Valued at 880,000. Thirdly, provision is made for using the property at the discretion of the board named lor other educational purposes in case the cathedral ' foundation and the school mentioned are other wise sufficiently provided for. Finally, in -case of failure to execute these trusts within 20 rears, the lands shall be conveyed absolutely to the diocese, to be used for "educational purposes. The prop erty is now w orth from 25 cents tj 51 50 a foot, and the entire present, rapidly increas ing in value, is estimated at 580,000. Presbyterians, Methodists and members of many other religious bodies outside of the Episcopal Church have joined in approv ing the plan o'f the great Protestant Cathe dral for Xew lrork City and have given their means to assist in its construction. Similar reasons are likely to induce similar support for the proposed cathedral of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the District of Columbia. THE SEDUCTIVE POOL ROOMS Over the Long Bridge at Wellington Patronized by Uncle Sam's Clerks. rraOM A STArF COnnESPOVDENT. "WashixgtoX', May 23. lTit has not been done already,' there is likely soon to be a watch put upon Government clerks who frequent the pool rooms at the new Monte Carlo at the "Virginia end of the long bridge. "When the pool rooms were in the city, the chances for discovery were too many", and if clerks gambled oh the races it was usually through trusted friends. Since the rooms were driven out of the district by a recent act of Congress, they are visited daily by hundreds of clerks. A well-known detective said to-day: "The pool rooms are at the bottom of more trouble than anyone has an idea of. Xot long ago I had occasion to take the 1 o'clock train to Alexandria, and over 100 Govern ment clerks got off the train at Jackson City, besides any number of others not in the pervice of the Govern ment. It would make a Cabinet official's eyes bulge out of his head to see how many V)f Uncle Sam's clerks spend afternoon after afteriioon in the poolrooms Government clerks arc by no means the only victims of these resorts, and a very 'large per cent of the petty stealing byt clerks in stores has as a direct cause the habits and desires brought on by too frequent visits to the city of odds and "combinations." A movement is on foot among the good people of "Washincton to memorialize the next Legislature of Vir ginia to enact rigid laws prohibiting gamb ling and pool selling. A HARRISON BOOMER.

Campbellitc preacher and the most intimate, of President Har rison' Indiana friends, who watched the grand tour with deep interest, arrived in the city to-day, and gives an enthusiastic opin ion in regard ' to the effect of the iournev. "I think." he said, "that no nnb- lic man ever met with a more flattering re ception than ne eiia through the line of his travel, nor made more friends than he did. There was not a mistake made by him and lie grew in the estimation of the public wherever he went, and through his speeches became better known to the country at large. I do not think he can be longer called small by anyone. He has proven that he is great enough for his position, and that he is.pos sesscti of those social qualities i which are looked for in a man in his position. Men who. had some doubts about his tuturc no -longer hold them. "lie is certain to he renominateel. Blame will not oppose him and when the conven tion meets it will be found practically unanimous for him. I think the Democrats will nominate Cleveland. It will be the old ticket Harrison against Cleveland. The third party movement puts an element of uncertainty into the campaign for both parties, but Harrison has grown in strength wonderfully."

Though the petticoat contingent was large in Quarter Sessions Court yestcrday,ii seems to have been drawn "mainly by sympathy, -as the family feuds were few. Before Judge "White a lady named Parker stated that her husband, who is a rather fine-looking speci; men of majihood, had failed to support her for three years past. The defense was that Mrs. Parker had been living rent free in a house belonging to the defendant's mother and that she had drawn enough money from the Parker estate to keep her comfortably had she expended it judiciously. The re spondent said the children were supported by his mother. Mr Parker admitted get ting fCO in two years, but said it was for Eayment of taxes, and she got none, of it for erself. She seemed to gain her point more by a charge that her husband's course on the score of morality was a zig-zag line. Mr. Parker was directed to pay nis wife ?8 a week and give 800 security "to do so. It was hinted on behalf of thedefense that Mrs. Parker was too poetically inclined in her thoughts and actions to suit any man who is inclined to place bread, butter, beefsteak, potatoes and other vegetables necessary to constitute a hftrnionious family before the requirements of the muses, but this wasn't told the Court. Mrs. M. Rcmlinger; a stout German lady, had her husband arraigned. He was as frail as she was stout, so Attorney Frank J. Gosscr's interposition to break "the force of the attack seemed to comport with the eternal fitness of things. There seems to be n terrible mix in the Remlinger family. Both were previously married arid there are three sets of children and divided by three they would make three respectably sized families, each, in fact, larger than regarded as strictly fashionable nowadays. The husband seems to be impressed with the German idea that a woman should be some thing more thai? a mere ornament and he laid both a primary and secondary accent and mucTi Teutonic emphasis on the postu late that a woman who was too lazv to cook coffee in thejnorning was-of but slight sub lunar, account. He went further, and insin uated that Mrs. Remlinger was disposed to encourage insubordination among ner pre vious and joint product of progeny. The Court said Mr. Remlinger must jiay S3 a week to his wife, and look for relief, if it were his right, in the divorce court. Mrs. Alfred E. Maxwell, of MeKeesport, deposed thai near 20 vears of weddcel liftf brought her but little bliss. She said that her husband had inflicted on her almost every kind of abuse, not only blows and kicks, but had spit in her face on several oc casions. Slit says he is a puddler and makes S23to $30 a week. Mr. Maxw ell attempted to break the force of Mrs. Maxwell's charge', but he was scnte'.cedto par hcrSSnweek and give security in 500 for performance. Judge Magea heard the case of Edna Kemp, who charged that her husband, Thomas H. Kemp, had not paid her $10 a month, according to a former award of the Court. She refuses to live with him, alleging an insurmountable objection there to. Attorney Langfit set forth that the reason Mrs. Kemp did not get her stipend was that she refused to reeeipt therefor, but her counsel, Mr. Marron, said she had re fused on his advice, and he succeeded in bringing the Judge to look at the matter through the same glasses. The latter raised the monthly payments 50 per cent to f 15, and directed that they be made to the Guardian; of the Poor, subject to Mrs, Kemp's order. The parties live in the vicinity of Emsworth. ROW IN AN AUCTION STORE. The Owner of the Building Attempts to Eject an Objectionable "KcnanU . Auctioneer (1 A. Yinger yesterday made informations before Alderman McGarey, charging John Klinzing with assault and battery and malicious mischief. Yinger has had his auction rooins.at 1807 Carsqncstrget, and Klinzing owns the building. Kot long ago a shoe 'merchant occupied the same rooms, but was sold out by the Sheriff. The shoe man had a lease upon the place which does not expire until June 1. At the SherifTs'sale Yinger bough', this lease for 51, and then set up his auction rooms. Yes terday Yinger says Klinzing paid him a visit and ordered liim out of the place. He refused to go, and Klinzing, it is alleged, attempted to remove the goods in the place. Yinger says he tried to stop Klinring, when he turned on him and hithim in the face several times. The row attracted a crowd of people, and Klinzing left the place. The suits mentioned were entered, and "Yinger still has possession of the rooms. FOUGHT THE OFFICERS. Victims of a Bald Make a Desperate Effort to Get Away. .

The Fight on the Tax Rate of the Boyer Bill Is Kot Finished. SIX JUUiTJOKS PROPOSED FOE -SCHOOLS rFROM A STAFF COJtBESrOJi'DENT. Harrisbcrg, May 23. For a time the "hay wagon" rolled in triumphal progress through the House and seemed in a fair way to continue its onward way through the Senate,, and occasionally the Democratic cart took a little spur;, around the course, but things changed and the old-fashioned Republican chariot has started out and is sweeping things before it. The Republican.party in both Houses' has at last got down to business; has apparently made-up its mind whafit wants to do 'and is doing it. Upon the Boyer tax bill and the ballot reform bill, at least so faras the Sen nte is concerned upon the latter measure, and upon the several apportionment bills, there seems to be a substantial agreement. They are to go through, and unless things change very suddenly the programme will be carried out. Both Houses nave settled down to work and between npw and the hour of adjournment matters will be dis posed of with a promptness which, while it may admit of little deliberation, will cer tainly clear the calendars of a vast amount of legislation. Tho Time for Talk Is Over. In the Senate the five-minute rule will be enforced and no member allowed to speak more' than once on the same subject. This will shut off a great deal of "stale, flat and unprofitable," discussion, which has been indulged in for no other object than to get on record for home consumption. In the Senate the House Boyer bill, as amended in committee last uigh't, reducing, the capital stock tax to five mills, will come up on second reading Monday night and will be substituted for the pending Senate bill when third reading is reachen: This Will be done, as has been before said, to avoid the raising of any constitutional ob jection to the bill substituted by the Senate for the Taggart bilL There seems to be lit tle room to doubt that the rate will be in creased again to six mills. That is one point upon which the House is determined, and, should the corporations succeed in pre venting its restoration in the Senate, there will be "a fight over concurrence, which might even lead, to an extension of the session. Progress of Apportionment. The judicial and legislative .apportion ment bills have passed second reading in the Senate, while the Congressional ana Sena torial bills, which are at the same stage of progress, have been recommitted for amend ment. They will likely be acted upon on Mondny. There are pearly 100 House bills on second and third reading in the Senate and there are some more yet to come over. Eleven of these, however, which are not read afirst time on Monday night, musfof necessity faiL The rate at which the Senate has disposed of House bills on second reading during the past wees must have caused the ghostot the old Constitution, if it ever visits the glimpses of the moon and stalks through the legislative halls; to rub its eyes in amazement. It is said that 102 House bills were read a second time in one session. Of course, they were only read by title, but 'the Constitution must be strained a little sometimes In the House, there is a number of Senate bills on first reading, and they will be dis- Cosed of on Monday. There are 54. jSenate ills now on the calendar and 50 on third reading. Adding all these readings to gether, it would equal" about 125 bills to be read once, i Dobato Must Be Cut Short. This, in connection with innumerable roll calls on Senate amendments and con ference committee reports, shovrs 'that to dispose of all these measures will allow little time for debate, and that every min ute spent in useless talk will simply pre vent the passage of bills. The general appropriation bill has passed the House finnlly and is Up on third reading in the Senate. It has been recommitted for amendment in committee, and if the tax rate in the Boyer bill is left at 5 mills by the Senate an effort may.be made to have the House, amendment, increasing the an nual school appropriation from 54,000,000 to 5,000,000, stricken out and the original amount restored. But before this is done there will be'a lively fight, not only in the Senate, but between thV two Houses, for the country members, are determined to have the f 5,000,000.

The Senate Com mittee on Mines and Mining! which has had the commission bill in its possession for over a veek without taking any action upon it, the Chairman claiming that he could not get a quorum, met las night and decided to report both the 'majority and minority bills, with a negative recom mendation. This action has not only sur prised the friends of the measure, but made them very indignant, and it really seems that the committee made a great mistake in acting thus upon so important a subject. The bill, whicli passed the House, was the work of a majority of a commission created by this. Legislature and ordered to re port its work for action at this session. It was recommended by the eight mine in spectors .and the eight miners who com- posed 'two-thirds of that commission, and it is not unreasonable to hold that in view of this fact, and the importance of the subject, the committee should have allowed the bill to be brought out into the Senate and opportunity given for discussion , and amendment. Those. in terested would not have cared so much had the bill been defeated in the Senate after a fair discussion, but they are exceedingly angry to see their measure killed in committee and predict that this action will cause dissatis faction in the bituminous regions. An effort will probably be made Monday to put the bill on tne caienuar, witn tne promise that if this is done the feature most obnoxious to the operators ' will b'e reasonably - modified. It is said that for the sakew of getting the'bill through, its friends will consent to fix the number of men to be employed in one split from 65 to 100 and that' the mini mum number of cubic feet of air to be sup plied for each person employed will be left at 100, as at present, instead, of being in creased "to 150.

FLEMING' SOX. - " ' UMarkeMtreet, Pittsburg, !..nn LEO WILL EEERENCH; 1 i . t Greater Economy of Expenses la .Necessary at the Vatican. . , THE STEP DEEMED SIGNIFICANT. For the First Time Since Sixtus Reign a Pope Interferes. y.'s AMERICA IS THE BEST COXTBLBIITOB Rome, May 23. The Pope is taking steps to secure greater economy of expenditure at the Vatican. .He has appointed a com' mission, consisting of three cardinals, charged to do their utmost to effect a re duction in expenses. It is believed to be the first time since Sixtus V. that a Pope has interfered in the constitution of the con gregations of Rome. The people are beginning to ak whether this step means that the Pope is about to simplify the complicated work of Sixtus Y., as not being in harmony with the existing needs of the churcli. This initiative might have the happiest re3nlts, for the simplifica tion and centralization of public services could be a public step toward the adapta tion of services to the particular exigencies of our times. Cause of the Proposed Retrenchment. , From a financial point of view the pro posed reductions in expenses are probably due to the increased demands upon tho Holy See. The misery and effects of 'tha national bankruptcy of the funds of tha Vatican have considerably augmented th extraordinary expenses. Everybody, asks money of the Pope. Then, again, the work of the Holy Sea is continually increasing. Leo XIII, has created at Rome, and especially in tha mission fields, special undertakings which require much money. The crusade against slavery has absorbed considerable sums. Tha Pope is lavishing hisendowments to, schools, sciences and benevolent agencies. Leo XIII, is not so liberal to persons as was Pius IX, but to causes of general interest his genet osity borders on prodigality. Libels of the Radical Press of Italy. It is the practice of the Radical press of all countries, and especially of Italy, at times, to represent the Pope as disposing of millions on millions; as surrounded by lux uries and magnificence of an Eastern poten tate, and exploiting for interested pur poses the faith of his people. At other times it represents that the contribu tions of St. Peter's pence are dwindling to insignificant proportions, and that tha Pope will soon be "obliged to accept the an nuity of 3,000,000 francs set apart for him by the Italian Government under tha guarantee law. Neither of these repre- semauves is tu.uui.uc. ti iiiic wio i resources of the Pope are less than the civil list of the most European sovereigns, yet .by wise administration these resources, if not adequate to the needs of the church, are sufficient to insure the work ing of its principal services. The revenues ' of the pontifical budget are disbursed sub stantially as follows: i "Where the Vatican Money Goes. At the disposal ofthePope, 500,000 franost ior poor uioceses, iou,uwj irancs; jrr .. ,iis -d-i.o.. i-jnnonn of the Apostolic Palaces, 1.300,600 the Secretaryship of State, I,00O,00( for poor dioceses, 4t0,000 francs; Prefecture (00 francs; 000 francs: employes and functionaries, 1,500,000 francs; pontifical schools and alms-giving, 1,200,000 francs. The 500,000 francs at the disposal of tha Pope serves to maintain his household, and nlso to meet the other expenditures not 'in cluded under the other headings of tha budget, such as the costs of decoration, in-; signia presents to princely personages, etc. The resources are difficult to'estimatet even by the administration of St. Ttttet'js; The Pope receives directly vast sums, part of which is devoted to extraordinary ex penses. In Peter's pence the United States now contributes more than France, the next most liberal country. Then follows in the. order named, Belgium, Holland, Spain,' Germany, and last of all, Italy.
