Jan. The second step In the elaborate oprcmony of elevating Francis Satolli. An hblnhop of Lepanto, apostolic delegate to the t'nlted States, to the rank of Cardinal. Prince of the Church, took place in the venerable Cathedral here to-day. The ceremony consisted of conferring the berretta, which is the cap worn by priests on ordinary occasions, and differing only In the case of Cardinals in that it Is red, The preceding sleeps have been the conferring of the zuchette.

or red skull cap, and the administering of the oath. The remaining step is the conferring of the red hat. which must be done in Rome by the Pope himself, within six months from November SO, the day upon which SatolU's appointment was made. The old edittee iu which the ceremony took place, and in which the first Amer ican Bishop was ordained and the first American priest ordained, and which la presided over by the only American- bora member of the college of Card inals, was packed to the doors with an audience which numbered among its members many of the most prominent ecclesiastics, diplomats, legislators, educators and journalists in America. Arch bishops.

Bishops and eminent professors represented the Catholic Church In the congregation. The Vice President of the Lnited States and numerous Con- gressmen. Senators, Judges and minor i officials were present. Eminent Catholics, outside the priesthood, came many miles to see the ceremony and to lend impresslvenesa and importance to tha Occasion by their presence. Diplomats of high degree cam to represent foreign Oovernments and show the respect in whtch they hold the church which does honor to The Initial step In the ceremonies today took place In the palace of the Cardinal, shortly after 9 o'clock in the morning, when Monsignor Sbarretti presented his credentials to Cardinal Gibbon.

The credentials, which came from the Holy See. authorised Monsignor Sbarretti to act as the ablegate of the Tope, deputise Cardinal Oibbons to confer the berretta and announce to Mgr. Batolli his elevation to the cardinaiate. They were also accompanied by the berretta, which from that moment were In the custody of Cardinal Oibbons. Cardinal Gibbons, fn receiving the documents and the berretta, responded briefly, expressing his high appreciation of the honor conferred upon him and congratulating Mgr.

Sbarretti upon the manner In which he had performed his duties in this country. While this scene was in progress In the palace the procession was forming In front of Calvert Hall, a block away. At 10 o'clock it was ready to start, and when formed the participants were arranged as follows: First came the processional cross-bearer, with the crucifix raised high in the air, and flanked on either side by a boy In cassock and surplice. Following him were a long line of students from the various Catholic colleges, after which came seminarians from St. Mary's, then priests, then Franciscan monks, in their garb of Drown.

Following these came the members of tbe faculty of the Catholic University of Washington, tn long robes of black, lined with many-colored silks, their beads adorned with the shovel hoard bat of tbe scholar. After these came balf a hundred bishops and a score or more of archbishops, the purple and gold of their rich vestments glistening In the cold, clear air, their Immense trains held up by little boys tn brilliant vestments. Iu this formation they marched through the Cathedral to Charles street and passed the Palace of the Cardinal, they were Joined by His Eminence, who took his place last in. the line. Upon hia head be wore the red berretta.

an exact duplicate of the one which he was soon to confer upon the man who will, for some time at least. hare hla honors in this country. Upon ris shoulders hung the beautiful cloak of cardinal silk and ermine with half a dosen train-bearers, clad In cardinal velvet and gilt braid, following in his wake. In this order they swept along up Mulberry street to the Cathedral, gain, where they filed Into the venerable old pile through the main entrance) Satolll was not In the procession, but as the head of It reached the altar he. accompanied by iUr.

Sbarretti, Mar, quia Sacripanti. tbe member of the Noble Ouard who brought the cardinaiate Insignia here, and the priests who bad been deputized to assist him Id the coming ceremony, entered the Cathedral from a rear door leading from the palace, and advanced to the front of tbe altar. The students and semi- fiarians followed to the right and to the eft as they paused In front of the high altar, finding seats on either side. The In the rrocesslon advanced with-n the sanctuary and took the places reserved for them. As the procession wended Its way" down the center aisle, the organ, a full orchestra and a chorus of fifty voices rendered a triumphal march.

When Cardinal Oibbons reached the altar be bowed low to Satolll. who returned the salutation, and each, accompanied by Ma assistant priest and deacons of hon, Hr. sought the throne upon whtch he vas to rest during the greater part of he ceremony. That of. Cardinal Oib-Kns was on the Ooepel.

He then cross-d to the throne occu pied by Cardinal Oibbons. handed him nother papal brief, which was read aloud by Father Magnien. The reading or tne papal briefs having been finished. Mgr.

Sharrettl advanced to a point in front of Cardinal Gibbons' throne and delivered an address in Latin. When Mgr. Sharrettl had finished Speaking. Cardinal Ulbbons responded briefly in I-atin, and then, turning toward the throne occupied by Satolll. spoke tn English.

The vast audience became all atten tion as it neared the most interesting potni in ail the ceremony thai of act ually conferring the berretta. Cardinal Oibbons descended from his throne and advanced to the front of the altar. Be hind him came his attendants. Father Magnien bearing the berretta.

Belief That It Involved An Un derstanding That the Ultlanders Were To Revolt. London. Jan. 6. The belief has been expressed here that the expedition of r.

Jameson into the Transvaal in-' volved an understanding that there was to be an uprising of the Ultlanders In Johannesburg In co-operation with Dr. Jameson, and that his raid would have been successful if he had received the expected assistance from Johannes burg. The abstention of Johannesburg In tak ing part in die figM at Krugersdorp, where Dr. Jameson met tin disastrous re verse. Is partly explained by cablegrams received co-day, dated December 30.

which was tbe day before Dr. Jameson's tart, staring Uiat President Kruger bad received a deputtion of the. aggrieved residents, an that be had made them promises fhat he would cake ff rhe duties on food stuffs and support equal subsidies for the Svuoote of all languages. He would also, he said, advocate the desired change in the franchise. This seems to have fully satisfied the Ult-tenders, and It is asserted that the leading men of all nationalities were combining In an active endeavor to circumvent the agitation which It was understood was being promoted by certain capitalists with a view to Dioinotlna a collision with the authorities, and thus to establish a for imperial Inter vention and to give the conspirators a cnance to goooie a rich country.

It Mast Be Shouldered For the iSenate Keorganizatiun. SENATOR LINDSAY MISSED. Is Needed As a Champion of the Administration.

OTHER WASHINGTON GOSSIP Washington. Jan. WSpedal-r Now-that the holiday seascn Is practically over, both Houses of Congress will buckle down to work and the country will soon know of what the Republican majority is composed. Aside from the special legislation urged by the Presi dent, the House for the pat thirty days has done nothing, although Speaker Reed gave it out that Is to be a business Congress. However this is no departure from the rule that the first month of the long session is usually devoted by members, especially the new ones, to making themselves familiar with the rules of the House and be coming acquainted.

Beginning with to-morrow the com mittee, of the House will fall in line, and from now on there will be plenty to engage the attention of the members. The Election Committee, it is expected, will begin hearing contested election cases shortly, and those cases which ap pear strongest from a Republican stand point will be among the first cared for by the House. It is the opinion of Representative Cannon. Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, that the House will dispose of all of the appro priation bills in ample time for them to be considered and passed by the Senate before the end of the fiscal year. He Bays Congress ought to adjourn by the 4th of July, and that he is in favor of ao early adjournment.

Among the Congressmen to express an opinion on the Government bond qu tlon is Representative Owens. He is quoted the New York World to-day as follows: The Worlds proposition that the President offer the proposed bonds to the people is praiseworthy and credit sble. Certainly. If the World can induce private coffers to give up their gold and Soat a loan it is doing a great service to the Government, and the Administration would err In not taking advantage of It. I am sorry I am not In a position to subscribe for the balance of 000,000 for which the World has led out.

Tbe Philadelphia Ledger Is one Re publican newspaper that speaks out plainly on the new Senate organisation as follows: "As the Republicans have voluntarily assumed control of the Senate they must accept, under all circum stances, the responsibility for whatever the Senate does. They were under no obligations to organise the Senate, but having done it they can not avoid the responsibility for their act." The House Rules Committee will meet to-morrow morning and finish up its work on the rules governing the Fifty- fourth Congress. The rules to be adopted are about the same as those which were in force during- the Fifty-first Congress. It Is given out. however.

that in the future when important questions are to be brought before Con gress a caucus of the Republicans will be held and the policy to be pursued and the time allotted for discussion will be settled. Speaker Reed said two weeks ago that the House was not a debating school, but recent events have made him change his mind In that respect. for a strong intimation has come to him from many Republican members that hereafter on Important topics they desired to be heard and did not propose to be bulldosed into silence. The friends here of the Administration are in hopes that Senator Lindsay wtll soon recover from his Illness and resume bis seat in the Senate. He has not been here since Congress met.

and as the Ad ministration forces In the Senate are so small the presence of the big Kentucklan Is sadly needed. Had Sen ator Lindsay been here Friday he would have been compelled to make his fight single-handed and alone against the large and overwhelming anti-Adminis tration forces. Senator Blackburn is not missed, but Senator Lindsay is, and. badly missed at that. With Lindsay, Gray and Vilas back, in their seats, and with Hill to lead them, there is no telling what might be accomplished for-sound money and good Government.

As it is the free-silver Senators are riding rough-shod over everything. Senator Allison of Iowa, Is another bright and shining example of a statesman with a presidential bee buzzing k.i. ti- i .4 "-J boUt the flnajlce- tarltt or anything QuletIy hla "eat ana nsuns to tne talk or tne other men their heads. But Senator Allison will find that a Reed, McKinley or Harrison man Is watching him, and he may be forced any day to break a silence that is becoming painful to most every one except the Senator himself. There Is already a scramble here for the patronage that will fall from the Venezuela Boundary Commission table.

About a dozen good paying places are to be given out. The Republicans and Mugwumps will get most of them.

THE SENATE Will Not Be In Mssios Till To-tnor- t-owt-'lnasoe Committee Meeting.

Washington, Jan. 5. The Senate will not be in session on Monday, but it is expected to resume the work of tbe session in earnest on Tuesday. The Finance Committee has promised to report botb the bond bill and the revenue tariff bill on that day. and it may be reasonably expected that if lals promise Is kept tbe debate during tbe remainder of the week and for some time afterward will be based upon these bills.

The bond bill probably will be tbe first of the two measures to receive atten tion, and it is considered probable- that. a fortnight may be devoted to Its con sideration. The Republicans also are hopeful of being able to dispose of the tariff bill In the same length of Mine. They have received assurances from In dividual Democratic leaders that they will not resort to dilatory tactics to prevent tbe early disposal of either of the bills. This does not mean, however, that they will not lnstet upon a thorough debate upon them.

Senator Klklns' bond resolution holds its place on the calendar as tbe unfinished business, and is in a position to furnish a basis of discussion until the rl nance bills shall be reported. If it should not be acted upon before these reports are made, it is yet uncertain whether the resolution would be pressed, but the chances are that it would be. The Finance Committee wiil meet again Monday afternoon, by which time it is presumed the silver majority of the committee will have proposed its substiituto for the Bond Biil. which will provide for free coinage. The fate of the tariff bill Is not so certain.

On this bill the Re-publicans conelder themselves masters of tbe situation in committee and they are In doubt whether to report it as it came from the House or to amend It in accordance with the wishes of Individual Republican Senators. There Is a disposition on tbe part of some of the members to increase the advance made on all the schedules ex cept that covering sugar from 15 to 20 per while the others think the case should only apply to agricultural products. In either event it is probable that the sugar schedule will receive the same treatment as the other schedules In obedience to the wishes of Senator Perkins, of California, and Senator Thurston, of Nebraska.

It is asserted that Premier Bowell in view of the resignation as announced last night of seven members of his Cabinet, will himself resign the premiership and make way for Sir Charles Tupper. who is the only one spoken of as his successor. It was also asserted on tbe other band that Premier uectded to accept the resignations of the seven Cabinet Ministers and will appoint another seven to succeed them at once.

7 i Convict's Confession Exoner ating Shea From Murder. Albany. N. Jan. 5.

The climax, of one of the most dramatic and sensational criminal incidents of the State's history was made public to-day. when just forty- eight hours prior to the execution of the death sentence upon "Bat" Shea, another man confessed to the murder, ahd 8hea stepped from beneath the shadow of death thrown by the electric chair. McGough wrote a confession of about two pages and signed it with his full name, and handed it to the Warden. Warden Thayer went at onoe to the telephone when McGough had been returned to his cell and called up the Executive Chamber. After a conference the Governor decided to grant a respite, for four weeks, during which tirme counsel could take the proper means to bring the matter before the courts for a new.

trial. The respite will be issued to-morrow and will be In force until February 4. Mr. Hltt will go before the Supreme Court tomorrow morning and ask for a retrial for Shea and the production In court of McGough.

MONDAY MORNING. LEGISLATION. Members of General Assem- bly Drawing Up Bills. SOME WILL CAUSE A STIK. Alitor Stone May B9 De prived of the Tower TO APPOINT AGENTS.

Question of Coooty Workhouses To Come Up. NO WOHK NO PAY Frankfort. Jan. 6. (Special.) There is an impression due to the fact that at present all interest is absorbed In the, contests for officethat the ses sion of the General Assembly, which begins Tuesday, will not be one of legislation, but that it will pass into history notable only for its many in tensely interesting races.

This Is wrong, for after the excitement and the smoke of sharp frays have passed away there will be an avalanche of bills, some of which are of great importance, and a few even sensational. It should be remembered that this Assembly is composed of almost a majority of members who have never before bad an opportunity to present for deliberative consideration their own bobbies and. the suggestions of their friends. The new members who have not derived prominence by reason of the fact that they are not seeking office doubtless have a burning and a very human desire to do something that will attract public attention-to themselves. while members who have had experi ence In former sessions have matured plans for legislation of importance.

Some of tbe proposed bills have attract favorable attention, though there is no doubt that a few of them will arouse bitter animosities and result in notable Cghtta. If the general prediction of a long senatorial contest proves to be correct, and if all the members are de termined to their proposed bills considered, it Is certain that the Gov ernor will have to call an extra session. Tbe subject of new capltol buildings Is sure to be brought up, and it may be said that there is a strong and growing sentiment in its favor. Representative Cyrur M. of Hopklnsvllle.

has a bill for the of aewfetate buildings. His is that a sufficient sum of money Id be appropriated to put up build- that will not only be a credit to the now, but that will stand as Im- Ing pieces of architecture a hundred to come. The State buildings, he PTQks, are looked upon by strangers as jj4 indication of the enterprise of a Com-. onwealth. and Kentucky should not ai-r herself to remain so far behind her rlsters of the Union.

Thts question of Jnew State buildings has stirred up some Improbable that they would pass one through the House In a Jiffy. They look upon Louisville as their handiest club for breaking the Democratic head In this State, and they believe that if Louisville could be made the capital during a session when their party controls the House it would make that city as much of a rock-ribbed Republican stronghold as it used to be Democratic. They have no hope of favor from the Seventh Congressional district, but have been given good reason to look toward tbe Fifth in times of need. Representative Brown baa another suggestion for the Legislature to consider. He will probably draft a bill making ail thefts not over $100 petit larceny instead of all under $10, as tbe law is now.

"There are nearly always 400 or BOO idle convicts in our penitentiaries," said he. "Such a law as I suggest would decrease the number of men in the penitentiaries, and those convicted of stealing less than $100 should be sentenced to county Jails or county workhouses, which, by the way, would be a good thing; and there should be chain gangs composed of such men as I refer to. Therefore, Instead of lying idle in the State prisons they could be working the county roads. Conviction for petit larceny should send a man to county prison for one year." Judge Charles O. Richie, of the Jefferson County Court, is drafting a bill whose object is to establish county workhouses.

He will have It presented by one of the Louisville members and hopes to see its passage. Said Judge Richie while here a day or two ago: "Why should there not be a county workhouse as well as a city workhouse? We have many men in jail who really enjoy their confinement, having nothing to do but eat. lounge about and sleep. The county surely has the same right to work its prisoners as the city, and I am determined that the question shall be settled. The city sends its prisoners to the work-bouse and compels them to break rock, from which a considerable Income is derived.

What is there to prevent the county doing the earns thing? We have a quarry at the poorhouse on the Louisville Southern railroad. We could put our prisoners out there and make them break rock to sell, even if they did not work tbe roads. It would be a good thing to have tbem keep up the roads, though some taxpayers might object because they think It would deprive them of the opportunity to Work out their taxes. I do not think it would, for there are not enough county prisoners both to break rock and mend all county roads." Judge Richie will also have two amendments to the election laws. They are already prepared, and if adopted will make many business men under obligations to him.

One of the amend ments provides for two sets of registra tion and election officers. As the lsw now stands, the same men are com pelled to be absent from their business at least four days, threw during the reg it i. ratio aud one on election day. This JANUARY 6, 1896.

Pottos Uaue Cassw Bottom, U. S. A. is considered a hardship to a man whose duties require close attention. Judge Richie says tbat by having two sets of officers the time can be divided by having one set serve for registration two days and the other set serve the last day of registration and on election day.

His other amendment provides for the preservation of the ballots one year. They are now destroyed by the officers of election directly after being counted. Besides his biU to abolish tbe State Board of Equalization, which was also advocated by Gov. Bradley during his campaign. Senator William Henry Jones, of Barren county, will present a biil aimed to prevent the use of money In elections.

It is similar, but an improvement on the Missouri law. He will also suggest an amendment to prevent money being withdrawn from the State Treasury without warrant of law. The aim of this amendment la somewhat mysterious. He will also revive the bill' introduced by some one at a former session to prevent officers and officials drawing salaries for services not rendered. One object of this is to encourage the members of the Gen eral Assembly to attend to their duties.

The Hon. J. M. Richardson will introduce a bill that is likely to cause a stir in the Auditor's office. It would take from Mr.

Stone the power of ap pointing Auditor's agents in the coun ties of the State, and give that power to either the Circuit or County Judges. Another will aim to disqualify a litigant who has a case pending in the Circuit Court from acting as a juror during the peudency of his case. A bill to make a writ of habeas corpus appealable to the Court of Appeals will be introduced; also one requiring that applications for pardons be posted or published, fwitb the names of the peti tioners, so that the public can know of the effort before executive action is taken. It has been suggested by one modest member that there be some legislation aimed to protect the holder of a note from expenses of a lawsuit to collect the amount 'of the note. He says that if the giyer of a note were required to agree in (writing to defray all expenses of any dtiaatlon that might be necessary to collect the note there would not be so many protests.

The bill prepared and given to Louisville Representative, providing for the extension of hotel and public resort privileges to colored people, has received some discussion from the Republican members, but it is not received favor ably, except by a few from Louisville and other localities where the negro vote cuts a bisr Ugure in local t-leciioiir, NEW QUARTERS For the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. The members of the Associate Reform ed Presbyterian church, which is located at 751 Seventh street, have decided to sell their present building and erect a new house of worship during the coming summer. This step nas oeen contem plated for some time, but It was only recently decided to make the initial move. The present building is not large enough to meet the requirements of the growing congregation, and the site will be sold and another purchased. Rev.

James Boyce, pastor of the church, said last night that a new site would be selected, though he could not say Just where, but was of the opinion that it would not be far from tbe present location. Rev. Mr. Boyce said that the congregation was not wealthy enough to build without outsiae neip ana mat ne bad made several trips recently for the purpose of collecting funds. However, he felt assured that work would be begun on the new building during the summer of 19.

The body of August Hebllng. the man who committed suicide at Trebing's Hotel Wednesday, will be buried this morning from Wyatfs undertaking establishment. The authorities have made a strong endeavor to have tbe body Identified, but have been unsuc cessful.

Irisnrpents Ilave All But Snr-roaiided the Capital. Gomez Said To Be Going Around To tbe Westward. ATTACK HOURLY FEARED Havana, Jan. 5. Havana has spent a day of nervousness and anxiety, and has been in hourly apprehension of an attack by the insurgent army, ora part of it.

Yesterday the bands commanded by Nunc and Bermudez were seen at Managua, a village not more than twelve miles from Havana. It must not be supposed that tbe city is open to the advance of the insurgents or that there are none within its borders to offer resistance. There has been no overt act of defiance of the authorities within the city, and there have been numerous voluntary offers to bear arms In defense of the city thousands of them, the authorities say. But there has been a comfortable convlotlon in the minds of the residents of Havana from the beginning of the Insurrection that they were in no real danger of molestation from the insurgents. Many hundreds of non-combatants of the island have come to Havana to await the passing of the storm.

Still more have sent their wives and families here as a safe refuge. This class of the population is in a state of utter consternation and dismay, and spreads an infectious spirit of panic through all other circles. The authorities no longer make the slightest concealment of the serious view they take of the situation, and there are some who do not hesitate to rail at the Spanish Generals and the troops and make bitter critlctsras of them. There has been great fear that the light and water supply of the city would be cut off by a sudden raid of the insurgent forces. The idea of the city being left in total darkness for the unseen working of plots and seditions is itself enough to work a panic In the nervous condition of the public mind.

Special preparations for the defense of tbe works that supply these have been made, and artillery has been placed to command them against all probable sources of attack. All possible recruits have been enlisted for the defense of the city, and the available ground about tbe city has been filled with batteries of artillery, which are manned night and day. The Spanish authorities have main tained a cordon of military forces run ning from Havana to the town of Batan bano on the south coast, since the in vasion of Matancas province by the in surgents, beyond which they hoped to prevent the advance of tbe destroying columns of their enemies. This cordon has proved no more effective than did the line of La Trocha, which was laid to keep the insurgents out of Santa CCara province. This line was broken yesterday by the forces under Gomes, and the main body of tbe insurgents today.

passed into the province of Pinar Del Rio. and are now overrunning that province with fire and the sword. The passage was fleeted near Batanbano at Pozo Hedondo. and Gomes burned the village of Gabriel on the way and partly destroyed the town of Guira Melena rod of Alquizar. The work of destruction in Havana province has been as complete as was that In Matancas.

and the sugar lands of Plnar Del Rio are fast being put into the same desolate condition. The proclamation of Gen. Campos to effect that all horses on the island are to be held subject to requisition by the Spanish authorities has little effect beyond its force as a confession that the Spanish forces are badly handicapped by the lack of mounted troops and ate practically helpless against the cavalry forces of the insurgents. In effect, the whole island of Cuba outside of the city of Havana, is now in the hands -of the insurgents. They have not annihilated the Spanish forces.

nor have they routed the whole army in any single pitched battle, yet tbe situation is completely In their hands and so completely have they outgeneralled the Spaniards that, to all appearances. Martines Campos army might as well be in Spain for any check It puts upon the movements to and fro of Maximo Gomes's army. The latter progress has been accom panied with continual accessions to his force by volunteers, and he. has cap tured enough horses, rifles and artillery to add immensely to the effective strength of his men. He has practically carried his base of operations with him and hat usually countermarched over a wholly different route from that of his advance, apparently counting with con fidence upon living upon the country as he went.

There Is little doubt really felt here that he will get as much or more sympathy in Plnar del Rio than he did in Santa Clara and stanzas, and the gen eral fear here is now, that after sweep ing of Plnar del Rio he win come upon Havana from the west, co-operating in an attack with the forces of the insur gents which have been east of Havana for several days past. The advance of Gomes beyond Batnbano has cut the lines of telegraph and cable communica tion with the eastern part or the Island, upon which Campos principally for directing his forces at Santiago de Cuba, Puerto Principe and Santa Clara. Details are meager or tne movements of Gomes In Plnar del Rio to-day. and It la not known whether he Is proceeding-to the westward portion of the province or has turned northward toward Ha vana.
