CRITICISM BY HIS COLLEAGUES Pope Stands by the Cardinal in 8pite of the Antagonism Displayed by His Fellow Prelates, Maintaining . He f Ha* Proved Hla Value. Rome, Feb. 5.--It is rumored here that Cardinal Merry Del Val, the pa­ lpal secretary of state, may *oon resign that cffice. Some say that he has al­ ready offered his resignation, but that the pope has refused to receive it. It is said that the cardinal's sudden de­ termination to give up his important offico was brought about by criticism of several of his colleagues, who have examined the "White Book," devotel to '.he rupture between the church and France, and have advanced the opinion that the rupture was largely brought about by the way the whole matter wts handled by members of the pope's entourage in charge of the state department. From the day when Cardinal Merry Del Val was appointed foreign minis­ ter by the pope there have been many Complaints and criticisms of hi<? policy as compared with that of his predeces­ sor, Cardinal Ranipoila. Especially was his attitude toward the French government criticised. The dean of the Sacred college, Cardinal Oreglia, has always stood up for his young col­ league and has prevented other cardi­ nals from influencing the pope against him. Pope Favors Merry Del Val. It is even said in the present in­ stance that Cardinal Oreglia has ad­ vised Plus X to pay no attention to the criticisms and to continue the vorns secretary of state in office: The pope is repo-ted to have informed two car­ dinals *ho talked to b4m about the complaints brewing in the Sacrei col­ lege that the secretary of state has proved Us value and that Ihe pope cannot dispense with his services Another cardinal who recently re­ signed and whose resignation the pope refuses to accept is Cardinal Richard of Paris. He is disgusted with the way church matters have gone in France and asked the pope, because of his great age; to relieve him trom his office as archbishop of Paris. But Plus X has not found another French prelate as zealous and earnest as Cardinal Richard and refusejl to en* tertain the idea. He wrote the prel­ ate that every possible aid would be given him for the administration of his large archdiocese and arrange­ ments have already been made for an­ other auxiliary bishop for his assist­ ance. Bestows 8peclal Privilege. In order to favor the French car­ dinal the pope even broke one of the rules of the church. Because of his age and infirmity Cardinal Richard has of late been unable to say mass oftener than once a week and then only when supported by two chap­ lains. Even this effort was too much for him and the pope, knowing the circumstances, has just sent the prel­ ate a brief permitting him to say mass in his private chapel while sit­ ting. except at the elevation of the host. This is a privilege that has been granted by the church only two or three times in centuries and the event shows the esteem in which the pres­ ent pope holds Cardinal Richard.

BOAT BLOWS TO PIECES IN NEW YORK HARBOR 8tates Lighter Hudson la $ent to the Bottom When Fii* f Reaches Dynamite. ' New York dispatch: Shortly before 2 o'clock Saturday morning the Unit­ ed States lighter Hudson, having on board about 300 pounds of dynamite and which was anchored on the Man­ hattan side of the Harlem river, al­ most under the central bridge, took fire. Soon after the fire started two explosions occurred on board. They were slight, however, and apparently did not affect the main cargo. An alarm was sent in and several fire en­ gines and two fireboats responded. The lighter was anchored directly in the rear of the Manhattan Casino, which was crowded with men and women attending a ball. When the explosions occurred there was a panic In the place. Police reserves were called and finally managed to restore order. « As soon as the fire was discovered the engineer of the lighter ran down into the hold where the dynamite was stored and began to throw the explos­ ive overboard. In all there were 300 pounds on board. He had gotten al! but about fifty pounds off the vessel when the fire drove him from the work. The engineer then rushed to the deck, but by this time someone on shore had cut the cables holding the lighter and the vessel was drift­ ing out into the stream. !t is report­ ed the engineer jumped overboard. Blazing fiercely, the lighter drifted out into midstream, when In about five minutes there was a terrific ex­ plosion on board and the vessel sank.

The miners claim an organization of more than 400,000 men, and that 135,OaO who are unorganized are in sympathy with their demands and will Join in a strike for better wages. There is now, they say, more than $500,000 in the national treasury, $2,697,000 in the district treasuries, and an assess­ ment of $1 a week from this time until April 1, when the suspension will go into effect, will produce $2,480,000 more. These are the men and these are the funds that back them in their demands for an increased wage, and they say they are determined to make tike test. Both Sides Are DeflanL The convention, which ended te • dissolution of the amicable relations between the miners and operators, was the most sensational in the his­ tory of the two organizations. The demand for an increased scale was made In language far from diplomatic, and the refusal came charged with de­ fiance and lacking in courtesy. Every nerve in the great hall was in a high state of tension when a motion was made and carried to adjourn. The op­ erators, through the vote of President Dolan of the Pittsburg district, claim­ ed their proposition to adopt the pres­ ent scale had been accepted, but the miners denied Dolan's right to cast the vote of the delegation as a unit and proceeded at once to impeach him by moving to expel him from the organ­ ization. He said he knew what a strike meant to women and children; he was not afraid of a war with the operators, but peace even on the terms they offered was better than war. The matter of expulsion was referred to the Pittsburg district miners, but not till every man in the Pennsylvania del­ egation bad voted against the settle­ ment to which Dolan had tried to bind them. Bobbins 8tics Mitchell. F. I* Robbins of Pittsburg, who was spokesman for the operators, accused the miners In the joint conference of repudiating a fair proposition. He pro­ tested against their refusal to allow one district to sign an agreement un­ less all signed it, declaring that a lit­ tle section up in Michigan could re­ fuse a settlement and tie up the whole country. Referring to Mr. Mitchell's prosperity argument, he said that Thursday coal sold in Chicago for $1 a ton carrying an 80-cent freight rate because the railroads were demanding the cars. Mr. Mitchell, in reply, declared that he had Bhown by the circulars of the operators that coal is now selling at the mines at from 35 to 50 cents a ton higher than it was selling seven months ago, and that conditions were prosperous. The miners, he said, were asked to continue a lower wage scale than they had two years ago, which was accepted on the promise of the operators that the reduction would be restored at this conference. "We have come to the parting of jhe ways," he concluded. "We deeply regret the necessity foi* such a step, but we feel that the time has come when you can give us an advance in wages without damaging your prop­ erty interests to any considerably ex­ tent Ties Up Anthracite Man. President Mitchell regards the sfttt- ation as the gravest that he has had to confront as the head of the organ­ ization. He expected to make an agreement here the base of his de­ mands upon the anthracite operators in the coming conference, but he now feels that failure here is the fore­ runner of failure in the East, and that every coal miner must be prepared to quit work and make the fight for bet­ ter conditions. He says the country is prosperous, and he believes the miners should have at least a small share of what every one else Is enjoy­ ing. Of course, there Is a possibility that better counsels will crevail be­ tween this and April 1, but if the pres­ ent temper of the miners and oper­ ators is maintained a strike is inevi­ table, and a utrike means the tying up of practically all the coal mines of the country. The only possibility of avoiding a strike apparently rests In an appeal to President Roosevelt and the Na­ tional Civic Federation to set In mo­ tion negotiations for a rehabilitation STATE MAY QUIT LIQUOR TRADE South Carolina Representatives Vote for County Option.

Suspension of Mining. In an interview, President John Mitchell said: "Never In the history of this coun­ try has a strike of such far-reaching effect been threatened. It means a national suspension of mining, and it includes the anthracite districts." "Will this action of the miners have any effect on the meeting of the an­ thracite miners and operators on Feb. 15?" "I don't know at this time," he said. "Well, you will meet the anthracite operators at that time?" "Yes," he replied, "that Is the plan at this time, and no changes have been made In the plans." According to the figures given out by the national officers of the miners' organization they expect the strike to bring out about 150,000 in the an­ thracite districts, 85,000 in the Penn­ sylvania bituminous districts, 38,000 In Ohio, 17,000 In Indiana, 60,000 in Illinois, J6,000 in Iowa. 30,000 in West Virginia, 3,000 in Michigan and approx­ imately 60,000 in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Indian Territory and Arkansas^ TIDAL WAVE DESTROYS CITY OF BLIENA VENTURA Submarine Volcano May Have Been Cause of Unusual Upheaval in : Port of Colombi.i. % " Panama dispatch: Reports are cur­ rent here that an ocean tidal wave visited Buena Ventura, in Colombia, Wednesday, Jan. 31, and that the city was destroyed. The tidal wave is said to have been caused by either an earthquake or some volcanic disturb­ ance. It Is impossible at this time to con­ firm the rumors, owing to the fact that cable communication with Buena Ven­ tura is Interrupted. Tests made here show that the cable is broken in two places north and south of Buena Ven­ tura. It is possible that a submarine vol­ cano or wave created by an earth­ quake may have- caused the serious disturbances at Buena Ventura, Tu- maco and the smaller ports, judging from the phenomenally rapid tide movements here recently. Capt. Hoi- royd of the English steamer Quito, which left Friday morning for Guay­ aquil and other ports, was ordered to keep well off the coast and to main­ tain a strict watch for the unusual changes reported from Buena Ven­ tura.
