Dec. 11.—Following are verbatim portfons of Mr. 8tor ter, which have not heretofore been published In October, 1902, I was appointed hv President Roosevelt ambassador to Austria-Hungary. In the summer and autumn of 1903 I visited the United States on ieuve of absence, with Mrs Storer and was a guest of the presi •lent. During the visit the relations o the Catholic church with America were discussed by President Roosevelt with me and the president was warm in his praise of Archbishop Ireland, of whom ho spoke in ternis of enthusiastic friendship on account of hltf conspicu ous .services as on American and In- chlentally. for his assistance as a sup porter of the Republican party and the administration. i in that occasion Archbishop Ire land being the topic of conversation, the president said to me that if I went to Rome' he would like to have me see iho pope and say to him in person that th* archbishop was his friend and Hint he would be pleased to hear that he had received-the honor of promotion to the cardinalate. Archbishop Irtland Is Told. I did not even tell Archbishop Ire land of the president's communication, not feeling at liberty t»/ do so. but he itnmedlHiely learned of It directly from the president, for shortly after the con versation the president told him what he had said. This we learned from the archbishop, who wrote ut once to Mrs. .Storer In October and November, 1903, that the president had toW Itlm that he had < Minmlssioned Mr. Storer to speak for him viva voec, ttt the vAtlcsn ant! he substance of his Interview lit nr.tMan! In ihi.M tt'.il'iltf* *TllP with the president In these words: 'The piriddent .said to me: "Mi. Storer lias told you whet I said to him about you, archbishop?" • T replied: *i do not remember." About his going to Rome?' ‘ T said “No.” “ ‘Well/ be said, ‘I told him I would not write a letter to the pope asking for honors to you, but I said that he could go to Rome and say, viva voce, to the pope how much I wish you to be cardinal, and how* grateful I personally would be to him for giving you that honor.* Confirmed What Was Said. "This action of the president In In- for nlng Archbishop Ireland of my com mission furnished me with an inde pendent evidence of his wishes and of his willingness that they should be known to persons concerned, though in cidentally it confirmed what the presi dent has more than once said to me, to the effect that he did not want to put his wishes in writing. So far a» oral messages went, however, I was not the only person who had been used to de liver one. for. some weeks before, the president had asked Mgr. O'Connell to say the same thing to the pope, and this Mgr. O'Connell had done In an Inter view with Plus X, on September 24, 190.1, in the second* month of his pontificate, and had transmitted to the president in reply a message from Pope Plus X In this form: "•Present to the president my com pliments; tell him of my esteem of himself personally and for the country which lie governs, and say to him that Ills wishes In regard to Mgr. Ireland will most probably be fulfilled.* • I had nothing to do with this mis sion of Mgr. O’Connell, but was In formed of it and of Its results before approaching the pope on the errand given to me. A few* weeks after my return to Europe I went to Rome, and on December 2. 1903. had an au dience with Pope Plus*X. I had al ready made a translation Into French of a memorandum which I had taken of the president’s oral message to the pope In order that I might deliver It Intelligibly, as the prtPa does not under- stand English. At the Intervlowr t held that translation in my hand and reud it to the pope. I have preserved it.

I would certainly have taken a shot at him and I don't think he would have been able to run so fast, either. X think he was a mean old thing to act aa he did anyway."

FRANCE NOW SITTING ON A HIDDEN MINE. Paris, Dec. 11.—France Is sitting onu mine. Whether It will explode or not, no one In a high place appears to be willing to publicly prophesy. Until the pope’s order of Saturday was received, all lookod toward actual peace, even If dissatisfaction smoldered among the most devoted of the faith ful. No one on any side will forecast vio lence. excepting hot heads and sensa- . tlonalleta. All affect to deny the pos sibility of civil war, and the lesson of the hist election sustains the attitude coupled as It Is with the declarations of some devoted Catholics that they will abstain from mass during the com ing weeks If It Is not celebrated hi churches safe from the liability of an Intrusion. “Religious and Political." Even while they condemn the gov ernment, It; must be remembered al ways that the question Is both religious and political. The government Is playing politics; playing for its life and the country. The church Is playing politics as well for themselves. The government's conciliatory over tures have been effectually countered by Rome's adroit about fane, even though tho eventual effect of this on the church In France Is problematical.

After a brilliant- career at col lege he Joined the Confederate army ut the breaking out of the civil war. At, the close of the war he entered the political field and after serving as speaker of the house was elected gov ernor In 1873. It was then Ills downfall commenced.

It was "Raffles” In real life, a silk-hatted, swgllow- talied "Rnffies,” who went about his work as calmly as Hornung's heroeoul J ever have dor*?. Ho quietly had the nurse sat beside her patient that the burglar had failed to notice her as he entered, and when she turned and confronted him It was hard to sAy* which was the more sur prised. The burglar was the first to act. Springing to tho electrolier, he turned the button und left the room In dark- nesH. The nurxe started up with nn exclamation, but the flash of un electric bull's-eye lantern blinded her and she sank back. "Hit down!” thundered the hurgl, "Don't you dare move.” Struggle in Darknsss. But the brave woman remembered that in tl»e upper drawer of the dresser lay a revolver, and she darted toward It. The burglar must have caught the glitter of the weapyn a* lie ransackod the drawer, or he divined the woman' purpose. He sprang to the dresser and In .the darkness the two struggled to push each other way and' secure the weapon. For a mbment they battled in tho darkened room, while Mrs. High, who In recovering from sickness follow ing the death of her husband, Mr. J. M. High, several weeks ago, lay trembling and helpless, suffering every fear that could C4>me to a woman In such a crisis. The burglar gave up his search, and. dashing the nurse aside, ran from the room. On his way downstairs he picked up a set of beautiful furs which he had found In his search of the house. The back door, by which he had entered the house, had been cautiously left wide open by Raffles, and he ran out with his booty. Daughter Gave Alarm.
