Rome, Jan. 5:0~The news that France proposes to publish tertain documents seized nt the papal nuncia- ture, in Paris, has created a bad im- pression, even outside of Catholic cir- cles. The violation of the nunciature is regarded with increasing gravity and is generally disapproved. The va- tican considers the threatened publi- cation is a continuation of the under- hand policy of the government, and is meant to harrass the church and create complications. - A prelate gave assurances, however, that. hot a word found if the docu- I Mass Meeting A STUDHOLME, Labor M.P.I'., Hamil tort.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 5.--Ice cutting commenced on Lake Michigan to-day, and dealers, in this city, expect a good harvest. Some new ice is al- ready on thé market as the old sup- ply is practically exhausted. On the Milwaukee river ice has formed to the thickness of about ten inches and on the Rewaukee and other interior lakes it is nearly one foot thick. The ire, this season, is forming more satisfac torily than in previous seasons ow- ing to the fact that the weather has been uniformly cold with no thaws coming between to form slush ice. Owe ing to the general increase of wages throughout the country the labor will cost more this season but it is not expected there will be an increase in the price of ice as there are indica- tions' that this kind of weather will ecntinue until the depleted ice houses wre fully stored uw. : * % ¥ HELPING COLLEGE. # * ® ---- d Eo Easton, Pa., Jan. 5.-- ¥ Andrew Carnegie has given -» $50,000 to Lafayette college ¥ and will give as much more ¥ friends of the college = 3 - raise the balance of half a +# ¥ million on the proposed en- =¥ 3° dowment fund, for which -k 3 subsgriptions now amount =% MW to nearly three hundred + # thousand.
