TAFT'S WORK IN ROME.
Areht>l*lio|> Ireland Say* It r»vp»lli«
Hay to an Agreement Ah to I*lillll>
pliip Friar*.
St. Paul, July 23.—Archbishop Ire
laiid, in an interview yesterday re
viewed the progress of the negotia
tions conducted between Judge Tuft
and the Vatican, and took to task cer
tain Catholic organizations that had
assumed to question the fairness of
the administration toward their co
religionists. The archbishop said:
"Yes, the news from Home is quite
satisfactory, and,l am sure, quite
correct. Private advices coming to
me from the most reliable source
confirm, in all respects, the dispatches
given by the press. The sovereign
pontiff and other Roman authorities
are delighted with Gov. Taft person
ally and with the negotiations in
progress between him and the Vati
can. Reports sent out by the corre
spondents of certain London papers
to the effect that the pontiff was dis
pleased with the commission of cardi
nals appointed to treat with Gov. Taft
were unfounded. The pontiff assure 1
(jov. Taft that he was happy at. the
results so far obtained, and that he
was confident the negotiations begun
in Rome would be the starting point
of a complete and satisfactory solu
tion of the question under discussion.
"There can be no doubt that the
active co-operation of the Vatican is
now secured to the American govt rn
ment in its task of pacification in th-
Philippines, and that in the results
to come the administration a> Wash
ington will have ample reason to fe
licitate itself for having sent Gov.
Taft to Rome.
"And now if is to be hoped there
will be among a certain class of
Catholics in America a cessation of
declarations such as we have had re
cent occasion to hear of regarding re
ligious matters in the Philippines.
The pope teaches these Catholics to
trust the American government, as
they seemingly have been heretofore
unwilling to do. In his conversation
with Gov. Taft he expressed tne high
est este. 4 in for American methods of
treating church matters, and re
marked that he had more than once
pointed towards the United States as
setting an example well worth copy
ing.
"The agitation, such as it was, in
certain Catholic quarters did no
honor to those who participated in it.
As is now proven, they spoke and
acted without due knowledge, and,
certainly, without proper regard for
the government of their country.
They should first have been absolute
ly certain that injustices had been
done to their co-religionists and,
next, if injustices had been done,
they should have sought a remedy
for them by appeal to the proper of
ficials before raising in public irritat
ing clamors.
"His words ought to signify some
thing to those who profess to take
him as their guide. At any rate the
direction of Catholic affairs is his
business, not that of irresponsible
church societies or newspaper edi
tors; and when he informs Catholics
that any one matter is in his hotids,
they ought promptly to step aside,
and allow him to have charge of it.
The question of religion in the Phil
ippines is now his own, and it should
be considered as such.
"There should have been no haste
to lay blame upon the government
which has been doing its best to
bring order out of chaos, and, above
all, no charges should have been
made against the intentions of the
government. It was rankest, rashness
and rankest injustice to intimate
that the government intended to
proselyte in the Philippines, or to do
aught to detach the inhabitants from
the Catholic faith."
ALLEGED FORGERS.
Are Said to Have .Hade Uo<;iia ICall
road Tickets Arreated In Chicago,
Chicago, July 26. —A band of alleged*
forgers of railroad tickets whose
operations, it is charged, have extend
ed from coast to coast, was broken
tip Friday by special agents of the
Chicago local passenger bureau and
the central police.
Charles J. Allardt, owner of the
National ticket office; Alexander
Freeman, James Donahue, Ed Far
num, alias W. T. Davidson, and Mag
gie Davis, alias Agnes Davidson, were
arrested. All were charged with
forgery.
In t.he raid the police secured near
ly $4,000 worth of railroad lickets,
dies of every character, acids and
stamps, indicating that the opera
tions of the band had been extensive
and remunerative.
Secretary Harry P. } iron son, of the
passenger bureau, said it was im
possible to estimate the loss to the
railroads through the work of the
gang, but he thought it would run
into the thousands of dollars.

THE MINERS' STRIKE FUND.
Executive Council of Federation ot
l.ubor F.ndorses miners' Appeal for
Financial Aid—f>sH,ooo Received In
One Hay-Strikers Feel Fncouragcd.
Indianapolis, July 24.—Secretary
Wilson, of the United Mine Workers,
on Wednesday received a check foi
$50,000 for the strike fund from the
Illinois organization. This was for
warded by him immediately to the
anthracite field. The Illinois miners
have, within four weeks, given the
national organization SIOO,OOO for
strike funds, and still have nearly
$500,000 in reserve. This donation, it
is said, is the largest ever received
for a strike. Wilson has received
notice from individuals of checks for
as much as SI,OOO that are now on
their way to headquarters, indicating
that the appeal to the public for
funds has been effective.
The total donations received yes
terday were $58,000. Word was re
ceived at headquarters from Presi
dent (iompers, of the American Fed
eration of Labor, that the executive
council of thut organization, in ses
sion at San Francisco, has endorsed
the appeal of the mine workers for
financial aid. This will have the ef
fect of bringing in additional contri
butions, it is thought.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 2L—Tn re
ply to the charge made by T. 1). Xich
olls, president of District So. 1,
United Mine Workers, that agents of
the coal companies are circulating
among the strikers and trying to per
suade them to apply in a body for aid
when the relief fund is opened, in the
hope that the defense fund may be
wiped out in a short time, local coal
operators say that they have no
knowledge that any of their repre
sentatives are connected in any way
with the strikers relief. One opera
tor said it was immaterial to the mine
owners to whom the relief was dis
tributed, or who gets it.
At strike headquarters none of the
district sub-treasurers seemed to be
disconcerted over the statement is
sued by some of the presidents of
the coal carrying roads that they ex
pect the striking miners to become
discouraged before long and then
make a rush togo back to work.
National Board Member John Fallon
is authority for the statement, that
the strikers are by no means discour
aged, but, on the contrary, now that
they are to receive assistance from
the bituminous brethren, are very
much encouraged.
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT.

I'arkersburg, W. Ya., July 25. —
Judge Jackson rendered his decision
in the "Mother" Jones contempt
cases yesterday. The conclusion
reached was that all the defendants
had violated the injunction and were
guilty of contempt of court. Sen
tence in case of "Mother" Jones was
postponed. The foreigners who can
not speak English were released.
Thomas llaggerty was given DO days
in jail and the other five defendants
60 days each.
Counsel for the imprisoned miners
are preparing for habeas corpus pro
ceedings in the United States circuit
court of appeals at Richmond, Va.,
alleging Judge Jackson had no juris
diction in the cases of "Mother"
Jones and her associates.
Indianapolis, July 25.—Secretary W.
B. Wilson, of the miners, received a
telegram yesterday from I'arkers
burg, informing him that a warrant
had been issued there for his arrest
on the charge of making inflamma
tory speeches in disregard of the
court's injunction. Mr. Wilson ex
pects a deputy marshal will come
here for the purpose of taking him
before Judge Jackson, at I'arkers
burg.
Chicago, July 25.—'President Mitch
ell, of the United Mine Workers, said
yesterday that Judge Jackson's deci
sion would be laid before President
Roosevelt at once with protests, and
that the president would be asked to
intercede in behalf of American citi
zenship. The cases will be carried to
the United States supreme court.
President Mitchell said: "The deci

THE COST OF WAR.
Interesting Statistics the
Insurrection In tlie I'll 111 ppl lies
There Were
tlie Kiieniy.
Washington, July 24.—Maj. James
Parker, of the adjutant general's of
fice, has compiled some interesting
statistics regarding tlie insurrection
in the Philippines. There were 2,561
engagements with the enemy, be
tween February 4, 1809, the date of
the Manila battle, and April 30, 1902,
fixed as ihe virtual downfall of the
insurrection. The larger proportion
of these tights were attacks from
ambush on the American troops, or
skirmishes in which only small de
tachments took part.
"In almost no case in these en
gagements." say Maj. Parker, "did
American troops surrender, or have
to retreat or have to leave their dead
and wounded in possession of the
enemy, notwithstanding that in many
cases tlie percentage of loss was
high."
The number of troops that have
been transported to the Philippines
and have arrived there up to July 16
last was 4,135 officers and 123,50U men.
The average strength for the period
of insurrection, was approximately
40,000.
Maj. Parker summarizes the casual
ties of the American army as follows:
Killed or died of wounds, 69 of
ficers and 936 enlisted men; deaths
from diseases, 47 officers and 553 en
listed men; deaths from accidents,
six officers and 125 enlisted men;
drowned, six officers and 257 enlisted
men; suicide, 10 officers and 72 en
listed men; murdered, one officer and
91 enlisted men. Total deaths, 139 of
ficers and 4,016 enlisted men. Wound
ed. 190 officers and 2,707 enlisted men,
a total of 2.597. Killed and wounded
and deaths other than by disease, 252
officers and 4,188 enlisted men; total
4,470.
A large proportion of the deaths
by drowning occurred in action, or in
active operations against the enemy.
Maj. Parker makes the percentage of
killed and wounded to the strength
of the army 9.7.
To Keep the Kin:: from Tlrltist.
London, July 26.—The fullest satis
faction is expressed at King Ed
ward's progress, but, as his majesty is
still unable to walk, projects are be
ing mooted for the adoption of means
to avoid exertion by him on corona

is one that, the king sleep at tin- dean
ery of Westminster the night previ
ous to the day of his crowning and
enter the abbey by another door, in
order that he may avoid the long
walk of 400 feet from the entrance of
the abbey to the throne, also that
modifications lie made in the corona

'Boston, July 25.—Nearly 4,000 demo
crats gathered at Nantasket yester
day and participated in the "har
mony" meeting, arranged by the New
England Democratic league, the new
political organization which is ex
pected to develop its strength in the
tall campaign. Mayor I'. A. Collins,
of this city, acted as "moderator," as
he expressed it, and presented in or
der, Edward M. Shepard, of New
York; Senator ('armack, of Tennes
see, and William J. Bryan, of Ne
braska, who expounded and discussed
the issues of this campaign to the
marked satisfaction of the audience.
Col. \V. A. (iaston and Charles S.
Hamlin, rival candidates for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination
in Massachusetts, were both present,
while Lewis Nixon, of New York, and
Congressman 'Wilson, of that state,
and John R. Thayer, of Massa
chusetts, were conspicuous among
the guests.
lion. Henry F. llollis, secretary of
the league, who was the active spirit
in arranging the meeting, marshalled
his forces at the boat, leaving for
Nantasket shorN% after 11 o'clock,
the party including* all the organiza
tion's guests. It took an hour to
make the run down the harbor and
on arrival the party was escorted to
the Rockland house, where a meet
ing of the league was held. A recep
tion by Mr. Brown, Mr. Shepard and
Mr. Carmack followed and then .'iOO
members of the league sat down to a
banquet in the great dining room of
the hotel.
Mr. Carmack followed Mr. Shepard
and for nearly an hour and a half In*
held the attention of his hearers. His
discussion of the trust issue brought
forth applause which was repeated
frequently during his argument on
the Philippine question.
The presentation of Mr. Bryan de
veloped great enthusiasm. Cheers
greeted him as he stepped to th.'
front of the platform and lie was sev
eral times interrupted by demonstra
tions of approval. Among other things
he said:
"In view of the numerous harmony
dinners and the discord they have
created, it may not lie out of place
to consider the basis of harmony.
Harmony is but a synomym for ordef
and is not the result of chance, but
a product of inexorable law.
"It is impossible to secure har
mony between people of opposite
sympathies, and it is a difficult thing
to change a man's sympathies.
"It requires a political regeneration
to make a democrat out of an aristo
crat.
"There are some who call them
selves democrats who have them
selves undergone a change which has
alienated them from the democratic
party or from any party worthy of
the name.
"To attempt to patch up an ap
parent harmony between those who
are not in sympathy with democratic
purposes is not only a waste of time,
but would prove disastrous."
TRADE BULLETIN.
Scarcity of Fuel Is About tho Only
I'nlavorable Feature.
New York, July 20. —R. <i. Dun <fc
Co.3s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Each day brings the agricultural pro
ducts of the nation nearer maturity,
and as the possibility of any serious
injury becomes smaller, the feeling
of confidence in sustained tradegrows
stronger. Storms destroyed much
property in some sections, and the
prompt restoration of structures has
added to the activity of building
trades. Railway stocks rose to near
high record quotations and gold was
exported, yet money sold easily. July j
oats succeeded corn as the leading
speculative cereal, but all distant
grain options tended lower.
Insufficient fuel is the one serious
difficulty in the iron and steel indus
try. interruptions and delays from
this cause becoming more noticeable
each day. In a market where there
Is comparative dullness because de
liveries cannot be made promptly, the
outlook for long continued activity
seems favorable, especially as scarci
ty of fuel cannot continue a factor
indefinitely. All forms of pig iron
have sold far ahead and there is no
evidence of overproduction in the
near future.
Footwear factories have returned
to almost full operation, contracts
coming forward freely from whole
salers.

Washington, July 20. —Copies of
Manila papers received at the war de
partment contain the defense of Maj.
Edwin F. Olefin, who was tried by
court-martial on the charge of hav
ing administered the water cure to
I' ilipino natives. The particular case
upon which great stress was laid was
that of the president? of Igbaras.
Olenn acknowledged the a<-t„ but
justified it on the ground that he
wanted the papers possessed by the
presidente and which he obtained by
the water cure application. Maj. Olenn
in his plea says:
"I found very soon after my ar
rival in Panay that every man's hand
was against us, that every man, wo
man arid child in the islands was an
enemy, and in my best judgment they
are to-day and always will be. Prac
tically every presidents and other of
ficial was playing double. They or
ganized and were members of * se
cret society known as the Katipunan,
whose avowed objects were to ad
vance the cause of "indcpendencia"
in any and all ways, and under this
high sounding phrase they made
use of every means forbidden by the
laws of war. These men of peace
waged war by killing straggling
American soldiers.
" I hey made use of poison in the
drinks sold to American soldiers.
| They poisoned their arrows and the
tips of their spears and bolos, to
gether with the bamboo tips placed in
j the deadly traps that abounded on
the trails. They hired assassins to
I kill those who were even suspected
| of being friendly to the Americans,
I and likewise endeavored to have our
American officers assassinated. They
openly stated in the island of I'ohol
that they would gladly sacrifice 2D
natives for every American officer as
sassinated. They employed corps of
assassins, who spread death and ter
ror in their wake."
Major Olenn gives the details lead
ins' l| p to the administration of the
water cure to the presidente, the
I facts of which were brought out in
| the senate Philippine investigation.
He declares he "did no more than any
other man with good sense would
have done." I am convinced that my
action resulted in hastening the ter-
I niination of hostilities, indirectly ro
| suited in saving many hundreds of
| lives and directly injured no one."
