ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 10.—Amid the mostsolemn, Impressive and resplendent cere-monies ever celebrated within the walls ofthe old cathedral, Rt Rev. John J. Kain,archbishop of the diocese of St. Louis, wastoday invested with the order of the pallium,
the sacred insignia of his archiepiscopal
office.This is the first time in the history of the
archdiocese of St. Louis that the investitureof the pallium upon the archbishop has beensolemnized. A large number of the most dis-tinguished prelates and church dignitaries
from all over the country graced the occasionby their presence, and assisted in the cere-monies. The conferring of the pallium wasperformed by Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore,who was assisted by twenty-five archbishops
and bishops, and one hundred or more priests.At 10 o'clock the procession, which was to
precede the service, formed in the sacristyof the cathedral ar.d took up the line otmarch. It was headed by the cross-bearer,following whom came a body of 100 or morevisiting and local priests attired in whitesurplices.
The archbishops and bishops came next andwere followed by a train of acolytes, all thealtar boys and the officers of the mass. Arch-bishop Kain and his attendants, under apurple canopy, came next, and the rear of thetrain was brought up by Cardinal Gibbons,attired in full canonical robes, under ascarlet canopy, attended by his deacons ofhonor and two pages, who held up his robes.Two pages similarly attended the archbishop.The entire procession entered the cathedraland marched up the center aisle to thesanctuary.
After the processional had been renderedby the choir, the Introit was chanted by theKenrick seminarians In the sanctuary, andthe celebration of the sacrifice of pontiflcialhigh mass was begun. A choir of 125 vocal-ists from the various churches of the citysang Beethoven's symphony mass, accompa-nied by the organ and an orchestra. Cardin-al Gibbons acted as celebrant, and at the con-clusion of the celebration Bishop Keane, ofWashington, D. C, delivered an eloquentsermon.
At the close of the sermon, Cardinal Gib-bons was again robed in the full vestmentsof his high office, and the ceremony of theconferring ot the pallium was begun.
The pallium, which had been placed on theEpistle side of the altar, was handed thecardinal, who arose and placed it upon thekneeling archbishop's shoulder. After con-ferring the sacred insignia. Cardinal Gibbonswent to the gospel side of the altar, whilethe archbishop, with the pallium on hisshoulders, arose and ascended his throne.The master of ceremonies escorted a delega-tion of prominent citizens, representing thelaity, within the sanctuary, to deliver an ad-dress of congratulation. Archbishop Kainresponded with much feeling, thanking themfor their expressions of kindness. At theconclusion of the services, which were at-tended by throngs of people, the church dig-
nitaries took carriages for Kenrick seminary,
where a banquet was served.

FRANK JAMES AS A TRAIN GUARD.
St. Louis Express Officials Think He
Would Intimidate Bandits.ST. LOUIS, May 10.—Frank James as a
guard on express trains carrying large
amounts of money or valuables Is one ofthe novelties the express people are now ar-ranging. Negotiations have been In progress
for several weeks, and the possibilities arethe contract will be closed within a fewdays. The effect of James' name. In view
j of his former prowess in robbing trains him-I self, is what the express companies are aim-
i ing after. They do not know, they say,
; that he could stop a determined robber any
J more than one of their own messengers, butI they think the ordinary train robber would
! hesitate to tackle him. James is willingto! accept the position, and guarantees that noj train in his charge will be robbed except' over his dead body, with one single pro-
vision, and that is that the express people
! pur up a bond of $20,000, this amount to go| to his widow in case of his death.
HAS FOUNDED A NEW RELIGION.
Descendant of Sitting Ball to Erect
a Church in Indiana.INDIANAPOLIS, May 10.—George Brad-
shaw, of Frankfort, claiming to be a lineal! descendant of Sitiing Bull, the Indian chief,j claims to have founded a new religion, thetenets of which he locks within his ownbreast. However, he is arranging to furtherthe doctrine he espouses by erecting ahouse of worship, the architecture of whichis unique. The building has eight distinctcorners and as many gables, with a roomin each gable in which he pretends to be inclose communion with Him who doeth alltilings well. Bradshaw will dedicate hisnew house of worship July 4. With an eyeto business, an admission fee will be chargedto all services, besides which the gable
rooms will be leased to the highest biddersfor stated periods.
COURSE OF A METEOR FORETOLD.
Computati-n on One Sighted Three
Years Ago Probably Correct.NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 10.—John E.
Lewis, of Ansonla, while photographingHolmes' comet through a telescope, on Jan.17, 1893, caught upon the plate the path of ala; ge meteor, showing its place among cer-tain stars. Prof. H. A. Newton, of Yale,made a very careful computation, showingthat the meteorite probably fell at a placeahcut two miles north of Danbury, Conn.,near Kohanza reservoir. This morning Prof.Newton received intelligence of the findingof a meteorite at almost exactly the com-puted point. It Is described as an oval speci-men, fifteen and a half inches long, andseven and a half Inches in diameter, weigh-ing about twenty-six pounds. The professorhas asked that the meteorite be sent herefor examination.
IN MEMORY OF HIRSCH.
Hebrews of New York Hold Ser-

NEW YORK, May 10.—Hebrews of allshades of belief and a good.y sprinkling ofChristians filled Temple Emanuel at the spe-cial memorial services for the late BaronMaurice de Hirs.h, today. The services wereopened by the singing of the anthem "CastThy Burden Upon the Lord," by the choir.Rev. Stephens Wise, rabbi of Bnal Jeshurun,delivered the opening prayer, and was fol-lowed by Col.

SENATE WILL RUSH THE RIVER

•
IT WILL DELAY ADJOURNMENT,
AS THE BODY WILL REMAIN IN
SESSION LONG ENOUGH TO TAKEFINAL ACTION.
APPROPRIATIONS TO THE FRONT.
House Has Practically No OtherBusiness to Attend To—Fore-
cast for the Week.
WASHINGTON, May 10.—The probabilities
are that the consideration of the river andharbor appropriation bill will be concludedMonday. According to agreement, this billwill be followed by the resolution to seat Mr.Dupont as a senator from Delaware. Withthe Dupont resolution disposed of, the billmaking appropriations for the District ofColumbia will be considered, and it probablywill consume the remainder of the week.Only the provision in the river and harborbill for the construction of a breakwater atSanta Monica, Cal., remains to be.acted upon.There will be several speeches on this ques-
tion Monday. Senators Berry, Vest and Per-kins will oppose the amendment, and SenatorFrye, as chairman of the committee on com-merce, will explain the committee's reasonfor its action. Senator White will reply brief-ly to Mr. Frye. After this, It Is expected
that the vote on the amendment will be taken,
and that whatever the fate of this amend-ment, the bill will be promptly passed. It
is not expected to remain long in conference,
as there is a dlspo—tion manifest in both
houses to get the bill to the president at asearly a date as practicable. This is due to
the fear of a veto and to the determination
to remain In session long enough to give
congress time to act in case of such adverse
indorsement by the president. The agree-
ment in regard to the Dupont case ls that
it shall be taken up fer debate Immediately
after the disposal of the river and harbor
bill and that a vote shall be taken not later
than 5 o'clock of the second day after the
debate begins. It is doubtful whether the
entire time allowed for debate will be re-quired. The result of the vote is still in
doubt. It depends upon one or two Populist
senators, who have not made their position
known, so far as can be ascertained.There are several features in the district
bill which are expected to arouse debate,
but If it should be passed before the close
of the week, the committee on appropriations
.ill have the fortification appropriation billready to take up, and will press its consid-eration. There will, however, be strong
pressure in that event to work on the cal-endar.
The Cuban situation, as presented by theimposition of the death sentence upon themembers of the Competitor party, brings
forward a decidedly interesting question,
which may result In an attempt at action onthis question by the senate during the week.
In fact, the outlook in this direction ls full
of possibilities.THE HOUSE.
The Indications are that the house willdrift along for the remainder of the ses-sion, giving conference reports on appro-priation bills the right of way, and dispos-ing of such incidental matters as It can.There is a good deal of pressure from certainquarters for the consideration of the Pa-cific railroad funding bill, and the immi-gration bills, and while there Is a prob-ability that the latter may be consideredat the session, the leaders In control of thehouse seem to have set their faces againstthe funding bill for this session unless Itis prolonged beyond present anticipations.The immigration bill can hardly come upthis week, as the chairman of the committee,Mr. B.rtholdt, is at his home In St. Louisattending the state convention. Tomorrowls District of Columbia day and Wednesdayls pre-empted by the special order giving itup to the pension bills. It ls llke^r that thecontested election cases of Rlnaker vs.Downing, and Murray vs. Elliott, whichwere to have been considered last week,will, with such conference reports as arcpresented, occupy the remainder of thetime.
DOJIS EXCITED AGAIfIAMERICAN PROTEST AGAINST THE
EXECUTION OF THE COMPETI-TORS CREW
FANNING THE EMBERS OF WAR,
WHICH HAVE SMOLDERED SINCE
THE PASSAGE OF THE CUBANRESOLUTIONS.
DOOMED MEN HAVE A REPRIEVE.
No Action Can Be Taken Until theSpanish Authorities Act on
the Sentences.
MADRID, May 10.—There are evidences ofgrowing popular excitement in Spain over theattitude of the United States government to-ward tht question of the filibusters captured
on board the Competitor. The riots and out-breaks of popular hatred towards the UnitedStates at the time of the passage in congressof the resolutions favoring the recognition ofthe Cubans as belligerents have not been for-gotten, and the sentiments which caused themare but smoldering. The Spanish government
has on all possible occasions expressed itsappreciation of and satisfaction with the ef-
forts made by the United States government
to prevent, as far as lay in its power, thegiving of unlawful aid to the Cuban insur-gents by citizens of the United States. Butthe widespread sympathy felt for the Insur-gents in the United States is well recognizedby the Spanish people, and the news of ex-peditions from the United Slates landed fromtime to time in Cuba creates intense Irrita-tion.
The news of the capture of the men onthe Competitor was received with great satis-
faction and rejoicing. It waa ielt to be thofirst opportunity that had been offered to
make an example of those engaged in feed-ing the insurrection. The popular demand fortheir execution is general, and is likely tobecome vociferous. Little account Is takenof the refined questions of treaty interpreta-tion involved in the protest of the UnitedStates government against the executilon ofthe sentences. The action of the UnitedStates is regarded rather as an expression ofsympathy with the insurrection, and therewill be a
STRONG POPULAR CLAMOR
to disregard it. The public feeling on thequestion is fostered by the tenor of the ad-vices received from Havana. Dispatches fromthere affirm that Capt. Gen. Weyler is great-ly irritated at the attitude of the UnitedStates on the question of the sentence. It Isasserted that If the Spanish governmentadopts a contrary view, owing to the rep-resentations made by the government, Gen.Weyler will resign his post.
Allegations are made in these Havana dis-patches of very extraordinary conduct on thepart of Ramon O. Williams, United State-consul general. If these are not true, they
are neverthelsss certain to add fuel to thofire of popular indignation In Spain. Mr.Williams' attitude, it is asserted, ls the sub-ject of general censure in Havana, and Itis said to be very provocative. The story
goes on to relate that the United States con-sul general shows himself everywhere Inpublic places In Havana, using irritating andmenacing language regarding the probableaction towards the authorities in case the sen-tences upon the CompetKor captives are ex-ecuted.
The Imparcial, commenting upon the atti-tude of the United States, says that a man ac-cused of acts of piracy admitted before acourt-martial in Havana that the Americanpolice made a point of vanishing when fili-bustering expeditions for Cuba were about toleave Key West.
El Liberal declares that the Spanish gov-ernment ought tc have sent a squadron toCuba, in addition to arming all the trans-Atlantic steamships at itß disposal for thatservice. It asserts that the steamer Bermuda,belonging to the Cuban Insurgent commit-tee, embarked upon the Florida coast 10.000rifles, six pieces of artillery, three mitrail-leuses, a quanMty of munitions of war and600 men, the majority of whom were gunnersof the United States militia. This embarka-
tk^ook place, El Liberal says, in spite ofthe protests of the Spanish consul at Jack-sonville against allowing it, and the Bermudaleft without difficulty or obstruction, and,according to the telegrams received fromCapt. Gen. Weyler, the expedition has already
landed. This report has created a sensationin Madrid, and astonishment ls expressed by
El Liberal at the conduct of the UnitedStates In the matter.
At a meeting of Conservative senators anddeputies on Saturday evening, the premier,Senor Canovas del Castillo, declared that Itwould be impossible to introduce reformsfor Cuba before the situation there had be-come normal again. He admitted that theSpanish arms alone would fail to terminatethe war, but he said he believed that thediscouragement of the insurgents and theprevalence of racial hatred among themwould contribute largely to the cessation ofhostilities.
The legislative, executive and judicial, thesundry civil and naval bills are now Inconference. It ls not Improbable that a res-olution regarding the protection of the two
All the comments of the press manifest thodeep Impression made upon the public mindby the action of the United States towardsthe sentence of the Competitor captives. Alater dispatch from Havana confirms the re-port that Capt. Gen. Weyler has threatenedto resign unless the sentences are executed.

GOLD DEPOSITS IN A HIGHWAY.
Rich Discovery Made hy WorkmenNear Mlddletown, N. Y.
MIDDLETOWN, N. V., May 10.—Whileworklngmen were repairing the highway atCampbell Hall, ten miles south of here, thismorning, traces of gold deppslts were discov-ered In a bank. Specimens were taken toGoshen, where the nitric acid test was ap-plied, and the gold was declared to be gen-uine. There ls much excitement in the littlevillage over the discovery.
Senor Canovas del Castillo, the premier,being asked for an expression of his opinionregarding the matter, said: "The afTairmust be settled In accordance with the lawand treaties."
The Heraldo compares the offensive con-duct of the United States consul general atHavana with that of the British consul, whomade many representations in favor of par-doning the prisoners. The Heraldo maintainsthat the rebels in Cuba are constantly receiv-ing assistance from America, without whichthe rebellion would have been suppressed longago.
The Epoca, which ls the ministerial organ,discusses the question In a far more conserv-ative and less embittered manner than theother newspapers. The Epoca also saysthat the attitude of President Cleveland andMr. Olney appears to be incredible, and de-clares that the theory ascribed to Mr. Olneyby the New York World deserves no seriousreply, because the offense cannot be regardedas a question of contraband, according to theprinciples of International law.
The Correo says that the demands of theUnited States are unjust and menacing, be-cause it ls proved that filibustering expedi-tions are organized in the United Stateswithout difficulty, and that the consequencesof such conduct wound the national feelingin Spain.
Several papers publish the report that be-sides Gen. Weyler, Generals Ochando andAhumada, who hold important commands inCuba, are also threatening to resign if thedecree of the court-martial ls quashed.
Bishop Walden suggested that the two mis-sionary bishops be made full-fledged bishopsana given Episcopal residences In Africa andIndia, and that five additional bishops be cre-ated with Episcopal residences, one to be as-signed to India, another to China, a third toJapan, a fourth to Europe and the fifth toSouth America. He thought twelve bishopswould then be able to perform the work In thiscountry which is now done by fourteen men,because they would be relieved of the foreignwork. Ifthat suggestion Is followed, five newbishops will be elected, and the total numberincreased to twenty-one. Already soma livelyelectioneering is being done, and when thevoting beglnß the contest will be spirited.
Americans sentenced to death by the Span-ish authorities at Havana may be presented,and furnish the text for a reopening of adiscussion of the entire Cuban situation.

Themen sentenced are Alfredo Laborde, saidto be the leader of the party, and claimingAmerican citizenship; Dr. Ellas Bedla, alsoclaiming American citizenship; William Gll-dea, said to be a British subject; John Mel-ton, a native of Kansas; Teodoro Mats.

Lawrence,correspondent of the New York Journal, whowere ordered by the authorities to leave theisland for having sent dispatches to theirpapers offensive to the government, sailedtor New York today on board the Ward linesteamship Seguranca.
Among the insurgents killed In the en-gagement at Cunda. near Guira Melena inHavara pr-vlnc?, three days ago, was theblack leader Aurello Collazo. lieutenant to jCapt. Fuentas, who has a sanguinary repu- Itation, and the leader Acla Vigoa, lieutenant !to Collazo. The insurgent leader MamertoRomero was wounded and taken prisoner inan attack upon the village of Cruces.
The report that Maximo Gomez ls in theprovince of Matanzas ls denied, and It lssaid that be is now encamped at Placetas, inSanta Clara province.
Last night the insurgents burned 158houses, the city hall and the schools ofHoyo Colorado. A report has been recrivedof another engagement which Gen. Vinclanhas had with the Insurgents In Pinar delRto. The rebel force was made up of numer-ous bands of Insurgents, and they stood forforty-five minutes before they were dis-lodged. Upen their retreat the Insurgentsburned the rest of the town or Cacarajaearas.
I The official report of the engagement saysthat the tronps had one killed and twentv-three wounded. There are no further de-tails cf the affair.
It ls known that the British consul Is In-: terested in behalf of the Competitor's cap-tives sentenced to death. He Invokes clem-| ency for the prisoners. This action of theBritish government In the case has caused asensation here, and It has been the topic ofcomment today by all social classes in thecommunity. It would be difficult to say fromany admissions made in official quarters what
1 effect this new development will have In thecase. There is a marked absence of irrlta-, bi'.lty manifested in the comments on the(
subject, ar.d the action of the British official; seem. to be taken In very good part. It is! pointed nut that the Intervention of the Brit-| lsh conFulls couched In different form from
that of Qm United States consulate, and is,i In fact, expressed In very friendly terms, ln-; viking the clemency of the Cuban authori-| ties. The question of the execution of th_
I captives of the Competitor Is recognized to be) one of the most Important which has oc-i furred since the Insurrection broke out. NowI that the question has been referred to thej government at Madrid, the situation here has
\u25a0 quieted down, though there ls no cessation! of Interest and discussion of the question.I The attitude of the public is rather one of! waiting on tho resolution of the Madrid gov-
ernment. The waiting Is attended by muchj Impatience and no little anxiety.
ONLY JUSTICE WANTED.
I United States Has Made No DemandsUpon Spain.
LONDON. May 10.—The Madrid correspond-ent of the Standard says:
Senor Canevas del Castillo has publiclystated that America has not protested againstSpain's right to punish filibuster., but only
! against the summary trial. American citizensj are entitled to be tried In the civil courts
i under the treaties of 1795 and 1877. The Span-! ish government Is willingto consider the de-j maud, and has cabled Capt. Gen.

SPAIN WILL NOT BE HASTY.
ItWuuld Be an Easy Matter to CauseComplication-.
WASHINGTON, May 10.—If any officialnews has been received by the government InWashington today regarding the Americanscaptured aboard the Competitor by the Span-iards and condemned by court-martial to b.shot, diligent inquiry fails to disclose Itsnature. Secretary Olney, to whom a notewas addressed on the subject, replied thatthere was nothing new to make public. In-quiry in congressional circles among thosedirectly interested in the case of one of themen—Milton—shows that no additional factshave been received by them. Senator Pasco,of Florida, who has taken especial InterestIn the cases, believes that the Spanish gov-ernment will not be Inclined towards hastyaction, a. In the present state of public feel-ing any summary decision by it may leadto serious consequences.
The fact that the Havana officials have re-ferred the execution of sentence to Madridls a source of gratification to those inter-ested in the prisoners' fate,and inspires the be-lief that some leniency will be shown. It isnot Improbable that an effort may be madeIn congress during tho coming week by res-olution to acquaint the public with thefacts in the case, by calling on the presi-dent for Information, and requesting him totake Fuch .{^ps as will give the condemnedmen a civil""trial.

It ls generally believed that the Lauradaj had been chartered by the Cuban Junta forj the purpose of conveying another filibustering
i expedition to Cuba. When the Laurada came! into port it was observed that she was draw-
ing very little water. The news of her ar-rival was made known to the Spanish consul
; general, who hurried to have a conference• with Marshal McCarthy at the barge office.
Meantime It appears that tho consul generalhad communicated with his subordinates,who kept a close watch on the Laurada. They
j learned that a lighter, the name of whichI could not be ascertained, had made fast atj Pier 11, East river. The detectives watched: the delivery of many boxes and cases onI board the lighter. All this time a tug was
In waiting for the detectives at Plor 3, East: river. At the barge office, the revenue cut-| ters Hudson and Chandler were also under! steam. After the lighter had relieved her| cargo she steamed up the river and took a
new position and anchored. The tug con-! tainlng the detectives followed In her wake.i and lay In the middle of the river until thei lighter, hugging the Brooklyn shore, went
i down the river, passing through ButtermilkI channel.
As the lighter was going by Governor's Isl-and the tug put back for pier 8, where, it isBaid, the detectives m_ Consul General Bald-
! nea and Marshal McCarthy. Then the tuj.; steamed across the river through Battermit)i channel to Atlantic basin, where the llghte-| was found warped to a dock. Her cargo hat1 been removed. Tho tug then proceeded over; to where the Laurada laid and dropped un; chor to the south of Bedloe's Island, s

SPAIN BETWEEN TWO FIXES.
Populace I tkliu; the Goverumenion to Support Weyler.
LONDON, May 10.—The Dally News willsay In an editorial tomorrow regarding thecases of the Competitor captives at Havana:
"The serious news from Cuba places thoSpanish government between two fires. It lsdifficult to see how either side can recede.If the Spanish government sacrifices (Jen.
Weyler, It will probably have to be preparedto sacrifice Its own life. Public opinion laMadrid Is hardly well enough Informed topromote a repetition of tho vigorous case of1873. The Spani.lt ought to distrust theirown natural ferocity in cases of this sort.The butchery of the men of the Virglntus,which many of them applauded In 1873 as afine and spirited act, was received with hor-ror throughout the world."

DETROIT. Mich., May 10.-A riot was nar-rcwly averted today In and about the church-yard of St. Stanislaus Polish Catholic church.
The church had been closed for some tim.against its pastor, Father Matkowskl, against
whom the congregation had rebelled, chiefly
on account of his deposition of Father Torskl,assistant pastor. This morning Bishop Rich-ter, of Grand Rapids, with Father Matkowskl,
arrived In the city and gained entrance to thapriest's house. When they essayed to enter
the church, however, a crowd of 1,000 hadgathered. The leaders declared their deter-
mination to keep Father Matkowskl out, al-though no objection was urged against th«bishop. Finally, the bishop and priest re-tieated to the parsonage and sent for thssheriff and police officers. They were advisednot to promote the strife by trying to enterforcibly against the crowd, and followedthis advice. During the excitement a womanstruck out with her parasol and the blow fell,by accident, It ls said, upon the bishop andtbe priest. The antl-Matkowskl Poles ha**,the church premises guarded*
