New York, Dec. 28.—Advices received
from Rome confirm the news of the call-
ing to the Vatican of Archbishop John
Farley of New York, and add that Pius
X. has commanded also Archbishops Wil-
liams, Ireland, Chapelle, Ryan and Quig-
ley to visit the holy see and give their
opinions on the pope’s project to decen-
tralize many of the attributes of the con-
gregation of the propaganda.
It is the holy father’s purpose to take
away from the propaganda business which
he believes can be better administered by
the local authorities in whose dioceses it
lies than under the system which has (al-
ways obtained heretofore. With this in
view he wishes to familiarize himself with
‘conditions in America, and to his mind
there is no better way than by a confer-
ence with the principal archbishops in this
country.

Peoria, Ill., Dec. ^S.—Fire, presumably
of an incendiary origin, destroyed the
grain » elevator at the Corning distillery
today, with a loss approximating $40,000,
covered by insurance. Fifty thousand
bushels of malt and corn were destroyed.
The distillery was preparing to resume
after a shut down for several weeks
caused by the explosion of a cooker which
killed several women and injured several
more.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 28.—It is stated
at the navy, department today that the
arrival of marines from the Prairie from
Yaviza to Bas Obispo, a point on the Pan-
ama railroad,, as told in press dispatches
from Colon, is but a movement directed
from Washington. It is stated further
that the move is without significance as
suggesting any change of policy here.
Two dispatches received from the isthmus
advise that a party of twenty marines has
been retained at Yavisa for the purpose of
observation.

the audience, which packed the edifice,

Making a Thorough Investigation.

Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 28— Eugene
Jones of Memphis, uncle of Granville W.
Garth, the New York banker who jumped
from the steamship Denver near Galves-
ton on Christmas night, will leave hero
to night for Galveston, where he will
make a thorough investigation into the
death of his nephew.
Jones says he has no doubt that Garth
jumped into midocean while suffering
from aberration of the mind. He has
telegraphed Thomas Lawson, with whom
Garth was traveling, to meet him in Gal-
veston. Garth’s father, H. E. Garth, was
a former resident of this city, having
been president of the Memphis German
national bank. He removed to New York
in 1879.
He is a mean joker who will rail at the
chestnut. Old friends should never be
slighted.

Gen. Reyes Is Only Awaiting Response
of Secretary Jlay.
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 28.—Although
Secretary Hay. has not yet replied to the
note 'of Gen. Reyes, preparations are
rapidly going on for the closing of the
Colombian legation here and the. de-
parture of Colombia’s representatives
home. It is clear they do not entertain
very much hope of a satisfactory re-
sponse by this government. Already
most of the legation files have been
packed and arrangements completed for
placing them in storage here. Gen. Reyes
for several 'days has denied himself to
callers. It is believed that while the re-
ply of Secretary Hay has not been made
sufficient information has been obtained
by the Colombian representatives in in-
terviews they have had with the secre-
tary to enable them to forecast its con-
clusions. The preparations going on for
closing up the affairs of the legation
would seem to indicate Gen. Reyes and
Dr. Herran are awaiting only as a mat-
ter of form and diplomatic courtesy the
official communication of Hay setting
forth the reasons why this government
can not accept their view on the Panama
situation before severing diplomatic re-
lations with the United States.

St. Petersburg, Dec. 28.—The concensus
of unofficial opinion among those asso-
ciated with the government, but not re-
sponsible therefor, is that the. czar is so
peacefully d eposed that fie will make
such concessions tc Japan as is necessary
to prevent war, provided no unforeseen
events of the governments are concerned.
At the same time the czar, it is pointed
out, agrees with those who believe that
preparation for war is the best safeguard
for peace, and that apparently his will-
ingness that all matters shall be sub-
mitted to a test of arms, is more likely
to lead to a satisfactory compromise than
an exhibition over too

of defeating the difficulty until season-

difficulty in finding money in case of war.

One reason why British alarmist news
fails to convince Russians is the perfect
understanding here of the benefits Great
Britain derives from a continuance of
the strained situation. It was known
here a year ago that Great Britain was
planning to occupy Thiebet and extend
a railroad to a point in Yangtse valley
which is reachable by gunboats from the
sea. Great Britain’s forward movement
at this time excites both admiration and
rage, the former for the clever political
move and the latter because Russia is
so preoccupied in the far east she is un-
able to prevent Great Britain from creat-
ing her own Manchuria in the Yangtze
provinces. It is pointed out here that the
present • situation affords Great Britain
the same opportunity as an actual war
between Russia and any third power.

Tolstoi’s Question He Answers That
He Is Not a Socialist.
By Associated Press. z
The Hague, Dec. 28.—William J. Bryan
arrived here today from Berlin and
visited the foreign minister. Mr. Bryan
is enjoying his tour. He said he found
Count Tolstoi looking well, though very
aged. Tolstoi’s first question was: “Are
you a socialist?” When assured to the
contrary the count said: “I am very giad
to hear it. I am not a socialist myself.”
When the Mallory line steamship Den ■
ver arrived in this port on Saturday even-
ing from a voyage from New York the
information was given out that Gran-
ville W. Garth, one of the passengers,
had committed suicide by jumping over-
board. The deceased w^s in bad health
and had left New York for the purpose
of seeking recreation. He had
ing queerly from the time he
York, but on Christmas day,
took his own life, he seemed
much better spirits. According to the
statement of Capt. Evans of the Denver
“at 8.30 p.
ward and shortly afterward I was in-
formed of
. ately ordered a search of the ship, but he
was nowhere to be found, and at last we
were obliged to arrive at the conclusion
that he had jumped overboard.
“Mr. Garth,” continued Capt. Evans,
“had the appearance of being physically
strong, and I understand that he was a
graduate of Cornell and during his col-
lege days ranked high in the athletic
sports. He was in appearance a man of
means and of culture, and from the
various sources of information I under-
stand that he was a man of some im-
portance in the financial world as under-
stood in Wall street. Mr. Thomas Law-
son, the gentleman in whose charge Mr.
Garth was placed when they boarded the
ship, is connected with Blair & Co. of
New York, who are largely interested in
the coal mines at Thurber, Tex., and had
with him 13 miners, whom he was taking
to the mines to work. It is my impres-
sion that it was a part of the plan for
Mr. Lawson and Mr. Garth to go to
Thurber and then start out on a hunting
expedition, more for the purpose of try-
ing to benefit the latter’s health than for
game, but I can not vouch for the truth
of the rumor. Though Mr. Lawson did
not claim a personal acquaintanceship
with Mr. Garth before boarding the ship,
being placed in charge by mutual friends,
Mr .Garth’s baggage was sent to the Tre-
mont hotel in his care. ’
Mr. Lawson, who is mentioned as be-
ing the companion of Mr. Garth, em-
phatically denied having any connection
1 with that gentleman beyond having
casually met him on the boat.
The deceased was president of the Me-
chanics’ national bank and within
past few weeks had been on the verge
mental prostration.
