A Washington, D. special states "that Cardinal Gibbons is very indignant that Father Schell should have cast re- flections upon Indian Commissioner Jones, and that Schell should have brought Mother Drexel, of Philadelphia, Into the affair. Father Ketchum, in charge of the Catholic Indian mission bureau, made a special trip to Baltimore Friday morn- ing to lay the Sehell matter before the cardinal. The latter had seen the story in wliich SeheH reflected on Commission- er Jones, nnd was extremely annoyed, as tire other leading Catholics iu the east. The cardinal expressed keen regret thnt Sehell should have so fnr overstepped the Ixninds of propriety.

The cardinal said Schell had a perfect right to urge action, and in case he felt the officials were not doing all that should be done, even to take the matter up with the president, if ie felt so disposed, but that such tin at- tack on a high government official was indefensible. Father Ketchum says Mother Drexe! floes contribute to support the Winuebago mission, but thnt this contribution in made to the mission and does not consti- tute authority or support to Schell. The sensational feature the investi- gation being held at Homer, by Inspector "Wright came Friday, when Father Schell, instigator of the investiga- tion, was charged by William Odell, of the firm of Odell butchers of Ho- 'inor, with attempting to intimidate him in order to make hini testify adversely to Bros, and C.

It was claimed, by Fathcj Schell that the Indians had to pay a usu interest on money borrowed fron the banks of O'Connor and; the Ashfords The testimony of the Ashford Bros and O'Connor on this point was that tin interest charged the Indians for monej ranged from the legal rate on the bes Joans' to 100 per cent ou small loam considerable risk was involved. af the most stubborn description contin-j iugs, and but for the splendid work of aes practically along the entire front. the fire Vrigaele a much larger money Field Marshal Oyama reports the cap- damage would have been incurred.

Reports from the Russian military inauder at Fort Arthur show thnt thP Japanese have brought a shell fire to bear upon the inner forts. The garrison, however, is reported to be hopeful of the outcome of the siege.

St. Petersburg dispatches say that des- perate fighting and heavy losses on both Street, one of the largest establishments of its kind in Canada, was next attacked by the flames.

The Rialto block and the Great Northwestern tele- graph office also were destroyed.

A lawsuit followed, resulting in Sinythe being bound over to the grand jury under bonds, but he still kept the- shop.
