Before the Emperor left Rotterdam to-night the latest phase of the official programme for his reception in England had not received his approbation. Since the first draft was submitted to him he has busied himself with upsetting arrangements from the mo ment of his arrival at Port Vic toria to the date of his farewell on the 13th. In his latest imperious intimation, telegraphed to-day, he declines to review the volunteers at Wimbledon, the greatest popular function in hi? honor after the progress to the Guildhall. Reports say that his refusal is absolute, cad that he had dropped a remark which was repeated to the official circle here that he did not want to look at tradcsn-in masquerading as soldiers. This remark is likely to be resented as an indig nity by the volunteers' 22,000 of whom were enrolled to take part in the review. It is proposed to substitute for the review a march past of the Horse Guards if His Kal scrship can be induced to tolerate the spec tacle Political Significance of the Tisit. But the ceremonial aspects of the visit trouble the Government less than the polit ical. The first five days of his sojourn the1 Emperor paes within comparative seclu sion at "Winds u1 Lord Salisbury goes to Windsor to-morrow and will remain there until the 8th. He will be accompanied by Sir P. W. Currie, the permanent TJndjr Secretary of the Foreign Office, and by Private Secretary Harrington. The pageantry connected with the visit now ill conceals a fact of serious political import. On the date of Mb starting on his tour the Emperor declared the Driebund had been renewed,-! Premier di Rudini proclaimed an entente with England. The Government here refuses to give explicit responses to questions in the House of Com mons on the nature of the commitments of Encland, but the uniersallv accepted be lief in diplomatic circles is that Lord Salis bury is pledging the couutry further than he dars to reveal, and that his stay at "Windsor is likely to inolve the gravest consequents to the nation. A Chance for the Liberals. The opposition, dissatisfied with the emptiness of the explanations of the Gov ernment, mean to go thoroughly into the question when tne -ttore i?n Umce estimates are reached, but they w ill probably fail to draw the desired information from the Gov ernment. Some inkling of the real position, it is hoped, may be got from the speeches at the Guildhall banquet, which is often selected for striking Ministerial announcements. If the Emperor is permittt i to exercise his tendency to utter trankness, something will become known, but the official opinion is that Lord Salisbury will succeed in tutor ins him into some formal declaration that will disclose nothing. The popular opinion is that the Emperor's visit will result in complications in England's foreign relations that will tend to modify the warmth of the Emperor's reception. . Press comments indicate this: "Though the visit may be sport to him," f-'iys a leading 1 nionist weekly, "it is not fun for u. (Viuld not we have let it alone? Is it lYi-ndlv thus to be superheating the hatred of Prance for England and increasing the illnillofKuseiar' Magnificent Pageant Provided.

THE KAISER TAKES HOLLAND. The Populace of The nague and Rotterdam Itcceiro nim Heartily. The Hague, July 3. The Emperor and Empress of Germany, accompanied by the -Queen and Queen Regent of Holland, ar rived here this morning and were receircd at the railroad station by the Ministers, municipal authorities and diplomatic corps. After receiving an address of welcome from the Ministers and others, the Emperor and Empress and the Queen and Queen Regent entered State carriages and were driven to the palace amid deafening cheers from tens of thousands of people In this city, as at Amsterdam, troopsw ere plentifully displayed in several parts of the citv. After a short rest at the palace, the Emperor and Empress of Germany drove through the main streets of tne capital -and afterward received deputa tions from the German residents of The Hague. During the afternoon the Emperor and Empress paid a visit to the Mauritz Huis picture gallery, and from there drove to Scheuvcningen, the fashionable watering place on the North Sea, two miles from this city. The Emperor and party arrived at Rotter dam in the course of the afternoon, and were received with pomp. The party vis ited the harbor and quays, and then cm barked on the Hohenzollern, after kissing the hands of the Queen and Queen Regent and bidding them a cordial farewell.

Mr. Parnell's marriage has not helped his cause, as he and his friends last week confidently hoped it w ould. The action of the Irish bishops yesterday in reaffirming their declaration that Mr. Par nell was unfit to be the leader of the Irish people, shows that no quarter will be given him by the clergy. This is considered to be the final blow to Mr. Parnell's cause, and the reception which he met with at Carlow yes terday shows that the people have ceased to pay anv attention to him. AtMyshallMr. Parnell addressed a meeting at which only 30 people were present. Archbishop Walsh has written a letter to Thomas Sexton, M. P., expressing the pre late's gratitude for the splendid services rendered by Mr. Sexton and, his colleagues in Parliament during the discussion of the Irish land bill. The Archbishop says that, although they did not win success on every point, they still gained enough to redeem the bill from being rather a curse than a blessing to Ireland. TAUNTED WITH KITTY'S NAME. The Campaign in Ireland Again Becoming Kacy and Interesting. Dublin, July a The Carlow priests, the majority of whom are in favor of the anti-Parnellile candidate for Parliament, are greatly influencing the populace, ex cept at Bagnalstown, where Father O'Neill, in spite of the manifesto of the bishops is sued this morning, has published a letter publicly reproving his curates for their at titude, and challenging them to produce written authority from the bishop for their flouting his authority in his teeth in his own parish. Mr. Parnell held a successful meeting at Teemagh to-day. He condemned the House of Lords for its action regarding the land bill, and accused the landlords and Healv ites of conspiracy. Afterward he vainly essayed to speak at Ballon, probfbly the most hostile district of Carlow.

BROKER YARD MUST TESTIFY, But He Need Not Answer Certain Very Per tinent Questions. Philadelphia, July 3. President Judge Allison, of the Court of Common Pleas, this morning handed down a decision of the court upholding the authority of City Councils to appoint a committee vested with powers to subpoena witnesses and place them under oath before receiving their testimony. The decision of the court arose through a suit in equity brought against Henry H. Yard, who refused to be sworn or to testify before the Keystone Bank Investigating ommiuee. The refusal of Yard to be sworn, and the subsequent entering of a suit by the City Solicitor to compel him to submit to hern" sworn, raised a very delicate question o! constitutional law. Yard has been in dicted by the grand jury for criminal con spiracy w ith ex-City Treasurer Bardsley to unlawfully use the public funds. The contention ot Yard's counsel, in their arguments before the Court of Common Pleas, was that city Councils had no authority to appoint a committee vested with powers to compel citizens to appear before them and testify under oath, and'that, in addition, under the Constitution of the United States, every man is guaranteed the right to answer no questions before a tribunal of justice that w ill tend to incriminate himself. The opinion of the Court on the right of Councils to appoint the committee was that Yard must appear before that committee ani submit himself to being sworn, but un der the bill of rights he could refuse to answer any question that he thought would incriminate himself. The remedy of the committee then is to appeal to the courts to submit to them the questions asked Yard. and the Court will decide whether they are of a nature to incriminate him. RUM HAS 50 TERROES For Those Who Meekly Submit-to-the Treatment at Dwight. OPIE P. BEAD'S SIMPLE STOBY Of the Wonderful Cares Effected on Drinkers and Opium Eaters. HOW SHATTERED NERVES ARE RESTORED "In all ages the most wonderful discover ies in medical science have been stubbornly combated by men whose lives were devoted to the healing art. And why were these wonderful discoveries combated? Because they were wonderful. The tracer of a nerve must needs be a careful man, and a careful man is slow, even in his acceptance of a truth. "Of the nature with which my memory is stored, a book might be composed a book so wild, so weird, so feverish, so grotesque, so fanciful, so gentle, so tender and so beau tiful, that men would marvel at the quick changing hues of its performances; but I, even though recollection walks jrith me as a companion by day, and is vivified into a strong-featured dream at night, will essay to tell a simple story, a story of absolute truth." Thus wrote Opie P. Read, of the Arkansaw Traveler, in Dr. Keeley's inebriate hospital, at Dwight, 111,, a few days ago. What follows is taken from the letter the above extract prefaces: Dwight, 111., the place where Dr. Keeley lives, is a small town on Grand Prairie, situated on the Chicago and Alton Railway, and is about 73 miles from Chicago. Until the Keeley treatment began to astonish the country, Dwight was scarcely known except as an unattractive-looking station; but now, moved withalife neer felt before.it isgrow inginto a town of pleasing aspect The "news ot redemption," as a prominent man termed it, is spreading rapidly, and people are com ing not only from all parts of the United States but from Europe as well. One man, V. Jacobs, formerly an officer in the En glish army, is there from Sydney, Aus tralia. More than five years ago he was cured by Dr. Keeley, and returned home one of the happiest of men. The appetite for drink did not return, but at the end ot five v ears he was compelled to submit to a surgical operation; and, against his protest, he was given braudy during the period of his com aleseenee. So soon as he recovered from the direct effect of the operation, porter was prescribed, and, after drinking it for some time, he found that he had aroused the old desire. Immediately after ward he sailed for America and is now at Dwight, firmly convinced of his cure. "It is such a pleasure not to drink liquor after one leaves here," he is wont to say. "2fo man has ever fought it more than I have, .and no one know s the effect of the doctor's cure better than L Koch and Pas teur are not to be compared with Dr. Keeley as discoverers. Their works are but experi ments when placed beside" his wonderful success." How the Cure Is Effected. It is not my purpose, however, to speak of every cure, for I know of a book that contains the names of 7,000 former victims of alcohol and morphine, but to tell what I saw at Dwight during a sojourn of four weeks. The cure is effected by the use of bi-chlo-ride of gold, taken internally every two hours during the day, and injected into the left arm four times a day. At 8 o'clock, morning, at noonat o o'clock, afternoon, and at 7" :30 ev ening, the line of patients. w ith left arms bare, march slowly past the operator's table. It is a long line, number ing 300 men a few w eeks ago, and is con stantly increasing ever changing in indi vidual expression as old faces suddenly dis appear and new ones take their places. It if. a line so solemn that memory can never lose it, composed as it is of cul tivated thought and natural intel lectual quickness. Senators, Congressmen, legislators, stock exchange men, bank ers millionaires slowly marching, step, step, and then waiting for a moment until some one else recciv cs the sharp instrument and moves on.. I well remember an old w Oman's remark. Her husband, gray and wrinkled, was in line and she stood looking on. Presently fche turned to some one and said: "This is a noble sight, and though it may tell of former evil, it loudly proclaims the fact that in each one there is a strong as sertion of manliness a determination to be free." I saw that old woman when she stood on the railway platform, waiting for the train that should take her home. The old man stood beside her with tears in his eyes. He was about to leave friends that had be come dear to him, and yet, through his re- eret at nariinjr, mere snone a Drio-ntness the brightness of physical and mental regen eration. After the "shot" the patients roam at will. There is no institution, as people naturally suppose, but those under treat ment board at the hotels or in private fam ilies. There is no apparent restraint, and yet an army officer might admire the per fect discipllite. IV hero Charity Is Christianlike. Charity! I never new the meaning of that word until I went to Dwight. I never knew before that there was so mnch in herent good in man. I had heard since childhood heard while restlessly sitting on a hard bench that all men had inherited from Adam a woeful amount of sin) and that they must get rid of it or suffer through out eternity, but I had not 'felt in the lul nessofits sublimity, St Paul's tribute to charity. I 6aw men, who in Congress might with onecyegivetheSpeakera statesman-like look, while with the other they might cast a demagogic glance in the direc tion of their constituents, give up their beds to a "tired," new arrival, and cheerfully sleep on the floor in the hall. I"have seen bankers, who at home, when a certain note had fallen due, would make a tottering business man walk all night in perspiring agony , get out of bed and walk until day with a morphine victim. But the most beautiful of all is the charity of the women wives, daughters and mothers of patients. I have seen heart-broken and humiliated women get offthe train with their helpless and blear-eyed husbands. Almost ashamed to look up, they would inquire the way to the doctor's office. The next moment they would be surrounded by friends. Women, who in society, had never felt true charity's melting 'touch, would come forward with words of encouragement "Oh, don't feel humiliated," I have heard them say. "In a few daysyou will be happy.and will thank God that you were permitted to come here. We were all ashamed at first, but we are proud now." Ah, what a different pride it was from any that I had ever seen. It was the pride of the soul. A Remarkable Case Cited. One ot the most remarkable cures that came under my notice was that of a man named Lyons, a well-known druggist of Brooklyn, IT. Y. Here is his story, just as he related it to me: "I was a periodical drunkard and could always tell when one of my attacks was coming on. My pulse would' gradually begin to beat faster and faster, and would, after a week's fight against liquor, run as high as 140. I would arrange my business so that I could leave home and would then go away and drink desperately for a month or more. I have gone until my feet would swell so that a vein would burst and fill my shoe with blood. My father one day thus upbraided me: 'I can'understand how a man, out with a party of friends, can be led off, but how a man can arrange his affairs as you do get drunk, you might say, in cold-blooded premeditation, is something I do not understand,' I attempted to explain but could not, and referred the matter to our family physician. 'Do you mean to tell me,' said he, 'that whisky, the very remedy we use in heart IHF. NOON "SHOT" AT THE DWIGIIT EETREAT. failure, is the only thing that will reduce your pulse?' 'I do," I answered. 'I can't believe it Come to my office the next time you are attacked.' One day, in company with my father, I called on the doctor. I held out my hand. The doctor timed my pulse "140. He vainly tried medicine after medicine and finally Said: 'I don't under stand it' 'Give me some whisky,' said I He ga e me a glass of liquor anil my pulse dropped to 80. 'I give it up,' said he, and fhen, turning to father, said: 'Mr. Lyons, your son can't help it. It is adisease.' The doctor afterward 'wrote me up' for a medi cal journal. I was sent to Boston to be treated, but my disease broke out again while I was under treatment. J was taken to Paris, but I was compelled to drink, and came home hopeless. Cured 'Within One Week. "One morning my father called my atten tion to an article in the New York Hun. It recounted the wonderful cures that had been effected by Dr. Keeley's bi-chloride of gold treatment I had never heard of Dwight, and having failed a cure in the world's most famous city, had no faith in Dr. Kee ley, but, several days later, when I felt an attack coming on, 1 started for Dwight. I was almost a madman w hen I arrived, and so soon as I saw the doctor I began to ex plain the peculiarity of my case. 'Yes,' he said, cutting me off) 'nearly every man has a peculiar case. How long'has it been since you drank?' 'About a month,' I answered. 'Well, then, you don't need any whisky.' 'But,' I almost raved, 'I must have it. See, my pulse is running away w ith me. You don't seem to understand my case.' He made no reply to my state ment, but quietly requested me to expose my left arm. I did so, and he injected his. pink fluid, and" then, giving me a bottle of tonic, dismissed me. If I could have board ed a train I would have left in disgust, but as I could not, I went to bed after taking a dose of the tonic I got up and took a dose several times during the night, and was sur prised at morning to find that my pulse had gone down, but the thirst was still strong upon me, and I hastened to the doctor's office. He ga e mo a 'shot' in reply to my demand for liquor, and I was again sent away with instructions to take my tonic regularly. Well, within a week's time my thirst was entnely gone and my nerves were stronger than they had been for years." I remember the last words I heard him utter: "I would not be in the condition I was when I came here, if there were no such treatment in view, for a million dollars, for in that condition money could only supply the means of destruction." t A 'Well-Known Writer's Experience. Colonel Mines, one of the best-known newspapermen of jsew York, and whom I have long know n as an editorial writer, came to Dwight, accompanied by his son, a bright boy about lSyears of age. Mines long ago recognized dipsomania as a disease, and be lieved that a cure could eventually be found, but none of the doctors with whom he con sulted would agree with. him. He went to Fort Hamilton, a place widely known as an institution where the liquor habit was cured, but left there in disgust. He tried other places, but the thirst still remained. When I saw him at Dwight he declared that he had" been born again, and to a party of news paper men he read a paper that he had pre pared for the Xew York World. It was the autobiography of constant struggle, of -mUery, and was a piece of Writing that might serve as a model of strength. "I know," said he, "that I shall never take another drink, for Ihave gone through a physiological change." "I know that he won't, too," said his little son, who overheard tne remark. "How do vou know?" some one asked. "Because,'' said the boy, "I see some thing in his face I never saw there before." The Champion Morphine Man. Among the many victims of morphia whom I met was Dr. W. H. Jennings, who lives at No. 8'Jl Cauldwcll avenue, New York. When he came to Dwight he was, and had been for ten years, taking 100 grains of morphine and a pint of alcohol daily. He was almost a maniao when brought "there, and had to be watched constantly to prevent his committing suicide. One morning, when he had been under treatment during several weeks, he thus addressed Dr. Keeley: "Doctor, I think I can do without any morphine until night. If I have to make a I struesle I think it is time I was making it. Don't you think I can do without" morphine until night?" ' "I think so," the doctor blandly answered, "especially asyouluweiit had any for ten days." Dr. Jennings was in my room the other day, sound in body and mind. When "I asked him how he felt he replied: "I don't think I ever felt better in my life." But what is the use of attempting to cite remarkable cures when hundreds of them, almost equally astonishing, are in my mind? To appreciate truly the treatment one must go to Dwight. Dr. Keeley as a Man. Many people have asked me, "What sort of a man is Keeley? Give me some idea of him." Instantly, upon meeting Dr. Keeley, a student of character feels that he is in the presence of a great man, nor does this im pression grow less with acquaintance. On (the contrary, the first conception is strength ened. I have seen great generals and have interviewed statesmen, and have come away feeling that the public has over-rated them;' but the more I contemplate Dn Keeley the more am I convinced that he is really a great man a great scientist. He is surely doing more good than any man living to day; more good than any statesman or any philanthropist. He is the restorer of hap piness to homes that have long been the abode of misery; he is healing the broken hearts of wretched mothers and wives, and is giving back to man his forfeited claim upon happiness. He firmly takes in a despair and gently turns it out a hope. "II this is a great discovery, why was it not made sooner?" I have been asked, and I can simply reply: "Why were not all great discoveries made sooner? Why were not accination and the circulation of the blood discovered sooner? Indeed, why was America not discovered sooner?" "But there is one more question I want to ask. Can a man drink again?" ''The treatment renders no man physical ly incapable of swallowing, but he willhave no craving for liquor, and a man who has no appetite tor whisky, and who knows the misery teht liquor entails, is not likely to drink it. If he does, he does so against his "Bill and is not WOrthv to ho nnlintpnnnnoil tJy society." 1 feel that I have not done this subject justice, and yet, knowing, too,.that this is not a literary performance, I give it what little influence I possess and append my name to it more cheerfully than I ha e ever signed any other piece of writing. THE LAKE IN THE DESERT. ANOTHER PHENOMENON IN VICINITY Or SAMOS. THE The Water Recedes in tho Morning, bnt Rises Again later in tho Day Reports From the Supposed Break In the Colorado River. Los Angeles, Cai, July 3. The desert lake at Salton caused a surprise yesterday by the fact that the water recedeA in the morning but commenced to rise again, showing that the limit has not been reached. A dispatch received from Salton yester day afternoon said: If the water comes from the Colorado river there must now be enough between here and the river to nearly fill this basin, and most likely reach the main line of the Southern Pacific All the flat part of the basin is now covered with water, and the depth will increase much faster. Section men are making efforts to save the railroad spur, but the water ia very hot and it is feared the men cannotq enaure it. xne water is warmest at the bottom. Two outfits were started out hv Rnrmn. tendent Muir, of the Southern Pacific, yes- iciuo), uiie irum ouuuu ana tne otnerlrom Ogilby. Both parties started in wagons, with a supply of w ater and provisions, and they will make an effort to locate the exact spot where the water comes through the sand hills from the Colorado river, or New river, as the case may be. The Colorado river is almost as high as it was last winter on account of the melting snow in the mount ains. The operator at Salton telegraphed last night that the water was rising very slowly, but there was no danger of it reaching the main track, as at the present rate it would take six months to do so, and long before that time it is' believed the desert will be dry from evaporation. A dispatch from Yuma, Ariz., says: A reliable report from Salton states that the Jjoat sent out by the railroad company was forced to return after havine trav eled 25 miles on the desert lake. The force of the current made further head way impossible. The theory advanced that the water now running into Salton basin is caused by the barrier washed out on the Colorado river last year, near Pilot Knob, is exploded by the fact that the flood of February, this year, carried twice the amount of water of that of a month ago, and would have run into the desert it an inlet had existed. Careful investigation proves mat tne Darner Detwcen tne Uoio rado and rim of the desert was only a ridge of four feet. This was ascertained in a sur vey made several years ago. The Colorado river has been falling for over a week past, and is lower to-day than the same day last vear. If the water is running from the Guff, the amount must increase daily, as the difference in the level is great. A late dispatch from Salton says a strong wind last night forced the water about 200 feet back from the north shore.

A Canadian Priest Calls Down God's "Wrath on a Catholic Chapel WITH HIS UPLIFTED CRUCIFIX. The Edifice Was Erected Against the Orders of the Bishop. FEELEJGOF TERROR AMONG THE PEOPLE Montreal, July 3. A most extraor dinary scene took place in a little chapel in the parish of Maskinonge, about 40 miles from Montreal, on Monday lalt, which with Roman Catholics is the day of St. Peter and St. Paul. It was the cursing of a church by order of Bishop Lafleche, of Three Rivers, and has caused indescribable excitement in Roman Catholic circles. In the country districts the inhabitants are talking of nothing else, and those immediately con cerned are simply terror-stricken at what they consider a fearful manifestation of the power of the Church. , .The cursing of the church was done by a Redemptorist Father, acting evidently under orders of Rev. Mr. Lafleche, cure of Maskinonge, and nephew of Mgr. Lafleche, Bishop of Three Rivers. The action of the ecclesiastics is the result of a schism in the parish, brought about by dissensions as to the location of the new parish church at Maskinonge. A Division in the Church. Some months since it was decided to erect a new and larger church two miles away from the old building, so as to give greater accommodation to the population. Mgr. Lafleche visited the parish and se lected a site on the east side of the Maskin onge river. The spot was indicated by the erection of a cross. A short time after the inhabitants residing on the west side of the river, who are said to form the majority, succeeded in inducing the Bishop to alter his previous decision, and two months ago the erection of the Church was commenced on the west side of the river. This gave such offense to the largeportion of the east side that they declared they would not attend church on the west side, alleging that they w ere the victims of an injustice and that the change had been made lor mo tiv es w hich they did not approve. "While the erection of the church was pro ceeding they met and decided to erect a w ooden chapel. At the time strong cleri cal influence was brought to bear upon the rebellious parishioners in order to induce them to give up the project, and the pun ishment of the church was then threatened, but they were stubborn and the work was commenced. Struck by a Bolt From Heaven. The erection of the opposition chapel was proceeding rapidly, when, one night, p. thunderbolt struck the new church, and it was burned to the ground. In the country round the ignorant inhabitants thought this to be a visitation of God,, and those who were building the church were looked upon with horror, as having been placed outside the pale of religion for their blasphemous opposition to the will of the clergy. Such an effect had the event that several of the dissentors went to the confessional, ac knowledged their sin and were received back into the Church. Tne clergy around, too, used the incident as showing the pun ishment that would be meted out to those w ho disobeyed the commands of the Church. Others ot the malcontents, however, still persisted in their stubborn determination to erect the chapel on their own side of the river, and eventually it was finished, al though the priest of the district refused to consecrate it. Met There for "Worship. Since that time some 200 men, women and children, having at their head some of the leading citizens of the place, have been in the habit of meeting there for worship. The schoolmaster of the locality read the prayers and recited the beads and a choir sang hymns, a favorite one being ''Chretiens cpai Combattons." Monday, the feast of St Peter and St Paul, the dissentients had met in the chapel at the same time as the rest of the parish were at the old church, when they were greatly surprised to see Rev. FatherSavard, of the Redemptorist order, enter the place in his robes of office and holding in his hand a crucifix. His arrival produced a great sensation. It was known that he had been called by Rev. Mr. Lafleche to preach a retreat in the parish church, and when he first entered many thought he was coming to bless the chapel. The priest walked down the aisle, and, standing in front of the altar. solemnly addressed the people, warning them to renounce their schism and return to the church. One of the congregation said, "Father, bless our chapel and we will be happy to listen to you. God's Wrath Called Down. ,rWhat, I bless your chapel," replied the Redemptorist. "I should rather curse it," and with his crucifix uplifted to heaven he called down the awfnl wrath of God upon the sacred edifice. "When the father had concluded his anathema he abruptly pulled his hood over his head, so that the congrega tion .could not see his face, and left the chapel. Before he could reach the door the con gregation called out "Father, father, do not curse us and our families." "I curse the place in which vou have met," replied Father Savard. The scene that followed is said to have been frightful. Next to excommunication the cursing of their house of worship was deemed the mot awful punishment the Chnrch could inflict. Many of the women fainted, others shrieked and ran around wringing their hands, while others stood rooted to the spot with terror. Some of the little children, w ho could not understand what was going on, ran crying to their mothers, who were in many cases too helpless with terror to notice them. Even the men were stricken with the ef fects of the priest's curse and stood for a time stupefied. Others of the men, how ever, were almost wild with rage and could with difficulty be restrained from pursuing Father Savard and mobbing him. In a short time, how ever, the congregation had dispersed, all going silently to their homes. People Strnck With Terror. The news of the action, of FatherSavard spread through the country, and the in habitants are awe striken at the punishment accorded the rebellious parishioners. The latter are looked upon as being under the ban of the Church, and while they remain so are ostracised by all their neighbors. No one will have any business transactions with them, and the people are afraid to Be seen speaking to those whom they cons'der the Church has condemned to doom. The action of Father Savard willhave the effect of breaking up the congregation. In ecclesiastical circles here Father Savard's action has come in for a good deal of discus sion, as there are many who hold that there is no rule in the Roman Catholic Church permitting a priest to anathemize a chnrch, although it is admitted that a priest has a right to warn his flock not to attend any particular church. There can be found in the history of the Catholic Church, at least in Canada, no precedent for Father Savard's action. Some think that Father Savard has ex ceeded Bishop Lafleche's instructions, but those who know the latter say he will go to any length rather than have his wishes de fied. In lay circles the affair has created a bad impression, and it is unfortunate that it comes at a time when His Grace, Arch bishop Fabre, has issued a pastoral calling upon the Catholic community to raise 5100,000 for the completion of a magnificent cathedral In Dominion square, the work bein placed under the protection of the Virgin.

' , Secretary Foster's Statement of the Recent Meeting With Him He Charges That His Visitors Took the Mysterious Jordan Letter-From Hl Desk. "Washington, July 3. The Secretary of the Treasury received a letter this morn ing from Grand MasterWorkmanPowderly, reviewing the case of the discharged plate printers in about the same tone as his state ment to the public, and in addition inti mating, so it is said, that the Knights of Labor will appeal the case to the President Secretary Foster, in speaking on the sub ject to-day, said 'that the letter which Jordan, one of the discharged men, claims to have received from him offering him his old position in the bureau, was not sent by him (the Secretary). He explained that he was discussing the case with Messrs. Cavanagh and Devlin and had submitted several prositions to them, which did not seem to be altogether satisfactory. He said he was willing to appoint the seven men to places in the bureau with the understanding that Jordan, who is making a good living outside, would not return. They Were Afraid of Meredith. "They wanted more than this," continued the Secretary, "and said they were afraid that if Jordan were offered the place with this understanding, and it should get to the ear of Meredith, he would crow over them and make it his boast that they had been defeated. I went so far as to draft a letter to Jordan theie had been several papers written during the conference in about these terms: Places were to be found for the other six men, who would accept a position in the Bureau, 'i agreed to give them this letter to be given to Jor dan it tney snouio promise on tneir nonor as men, that they would either return it to me or hand me Jordan's declination. This to sooth Jordan's feelings, as it were. All this contingent upon our reaching an agree ment. x ""When I showed Devlin and Cavanagh this letter, they declined my terms and I shoved the letter to one side with rest of the rejected. We were discussing the situation further and endeavoring to find another solution when I received the card of the delegation representing the Federation of Labor. Leaving Devlin and Cavanagh for a few minutes I went over to the new comers who told me some facts that I did not know before. Some Things Foster Didn't Know. "For instance, ttey informed me that there are now about 15 apprentices in the bureau waiting for presses, who under the rules are entitled to presses ahead of the chance men. This would: reduce the available new work, and the men who are now on the chance roll would not all get presses in the new build ing. Thus, to put on the seven dismissed men would throw out printers who are ahead of them. After further talk on the sub ject, I returned to Devlin and Cavanagh, and soon afterward the conference was broken up. "The letter to Jordan, though signed, was but a draft, and wa3 not intended to be sent. If he received it, the delegates from the Knights of Labor must have taken it from my desk. It had previously been re jected by them. I do not accuse them of stealing the letter, but I do say that the letter should never have gone to Jordan. It was null and void. When I returned to my desk I said good-bye and swept the papers into a drawer, but did not notice that this letter was gone. I have reason to think they took the note sent into me by the delegates of the Federation, from which Mr. Powderly gets his information about the 'Gompers Federation.' The name was put on the card by my private .secretary, in order to identify the people in "my mind." COSMOPOLITAN Mm-ray draws a pen picture of Fifth m enue, New York, for THE DISPATCH to-morrow.

The sightseeing of Prince George in this country was brought to an end by a visit to Thomas A. Edison's laboratory at Llewellyn Park to-day. The Prince found time before his departure to send two cable messages one to the Prince and Princess of Wales, whom he is about to visit, the other to his father, the King of Greece notifying them that he is to sail to day on theServia. At Llewellyn Park the party was first con ducted to the library, in the center of which is a graceful marble statue of tho genius of electricity. The Prince glanced at the crowded book shelves, bnt gave more attention to Mr. Edison's collection of min erals, which is remarkably fine. Ther were then conducted up stairs to the phon ograph room, where a large Edison phon ograph, arranged with as many tubes as there were visitors, had been set up. liked the Southern Melody. - A cylinder which rendered a negro laugh ing song was put into the instrument, and the Prince seemed to enjoy this more than the cylinders that presented the sonnd of an orchestra and a cornet solo by Levy. A phonograph was then placed so as to be spoken into, and Consul Gregor stepped up to the mouthpiece. He spoke in French, and said, addressing Prince George: "My Lord, we are very happy to be in this country. I am the first representative of Russia who has been able to express on the part of a grateful nation the great admira tion which we have for your act of courage and self-sacrifice. You presented your breast to the murderous weapon of an assas sin to preserve the life of our beloved Prince. Grateful Russia, in the person of her representative, salutes you. Prince George next spoke into the phonograph in Greek. The party then returned to the city. Tendered a Farewell Dinner. A farewell dinner was given to Prince George at the house of Consul General Olarovsky this morning. After the coffee a large punch bowl was placed upon the table and a Russian punch, the Djorika, was brewed. It consists of countless ingre dients the principal ones being champagne and cognac. The lights were then turned low, the cognac fired, and the standing "Bon voyage" was drank to the young traveler. At midnight the Prince drove to the Canard wharf. Lined np in front of the gangway were more than 300 STew York Greeks bearing the Greek ensign and the Stars and Stripes. They cheered the Prince loudly. Prince George bowed his acknowl edgements to the crowd, and went on board the Servia, whereupon the crowd quietly dispersed, and -the Greeks of America saw the last of their young hero in their adopted land.

How a Dead Beat Took Away the Breath of a St. Louis Barkeeper. I witnessed an amusing scene in a bar room the other day in which the barkeeper came ont second best, says a St. Louis man in the Globe-Democrat. A fellow came in and ordered a drink of whisky. After pouring out what would have been enough for two ordinary drams and tossing it off without winking, he said: "Has Ducky been here?" "Don't know him," said the bartender. "What, don't know short legged Ducky?" was the reydy; "you must be mistaken. He walks this way." The bibnlons gentle man turned in his toes, spread his knees far apart and waddled toward the swinging doors, through which he disappeared with great rapidity. The barkeeper, gasped, picked up a bung starter and rushed to the door in time to see Ducky's friend vanishing up the street. He started to swear, but gave up the attempt, the oaths at his command being inadequate to express his indignation, returned to the bar and took a big drink. WIFE OF OHIO'S GOVERNOR.

Thinking this a queer position.for a loyal wife, she was asked why, and sturdily main tained her ground by saying the odds were against his election and she would prefer to nave him defeated in the convention, be cause it would then be said that, the bad ele ment in his party had punished him for not catering to them. She thought he coulc'i stand that, both as a man and as a politician. Mrs. Campbell is clearly of a political bent- of mind. -3P I 1 i i ?vii
