New York July 27.
IJ DISCUSSION of much significance
IjfJU is now in progress iu Catbolic
in canrca circles. To understand
UU it will reqnire a long statement
"of facts. Tbe discussion dates buck to
,tlie lust leoteu season, when John A.
) Watterson, bishop of tbe Catbolic dio
Jcese of Co)ambui, sent oat a circular
lettr to the pries ts of the dioeese to be
tread before their several congregation,
md in tbe course of tbis pastoral com
nnnlcation he said:
I hereby withdraw ray approbation from
my and every Catholic society, or branch,
T division thereof in this diocese, that has
a liquor dealer or saloon-keeper at its head
r anywhere among its officers. I suspend
very such society itself from the rank and
rivileges as a Catholic society until it
jUBes to be' so officiated.
the Catholio societies of the
ut was open to tbe censure
from tbe action of the bishop
delegate, Arohbishop bi
as authority or the bishop
(in tbe matter ws sustained. As tome
discontent remained and the plea was
made that the delegate did not under
stand tbe issne, Bishop Watterson sug
gested that another society should ru
ne the appeal. That coarse was
taken and again tbe delegate sustained
tbe bishop. Here is his letter:
MOR SATOLLl'S RULINU.
WASHINGTON, duly 18, ltKH.
As far as tbe general principle is con
cerned, yon should know that as it be
longs to tbe office of a bishop to observe
in his own diocese what is hurtful or
h4pful to tbe spiritual good of the faith
ful, so it belongs to His power to command,
prohibit, conn el cr permit to be done, or
removed, whatever be judges to contribute
to tbe discbarge of his own duty and to
the good of the faithful. Tbe letter of de
cree of the Bight Rav. Bishop of Colum
bus concoruiug Catholia societies and tho
abstinence to be observed from intoxicat
ing Manors ought by no mounj to be sub
jected to tbe judgment of every private
individual, or every association of simply
Catbolic citizens; but every Catholic of
good cocscieuce must hold for certain that
the bishop has commanded those things
which seem to be for tbe greater good of
tbe faithful and the honor of every Catho
lic fociety.
These three things which are expressed
n the letter of the right reverend bishop
have the approval not only of Catholics,
but of non-Catholics of your city, because
they are not only in harmony with the
law. of the church, but they are also sea
sonable and necessary to the honor of the
church, especially in tbe state of Ohio.
Therefore, those things which the right
reverend bishop has demanded In his de
cree, I approve and decide that they are
to be observed; but if perh.tps they, for
the time b( ing, seem to hurt the material
inter.: s of some, tbis will have to be pa
tiently boi lie for the good of the many and
for the honor of our holy Catholic church.
Remain, therefore, of good will and obey
fail hfully what the right reverend bishup
has decreed, confident that Divine Provi
dence rewsrds the spirit of obenience, not
only in the future, but in this world.
Farewell in the Lord.
FBANC18, .AKCIIBISflOP SaTOLLI,
Apostolic Delegate.
THE POINTS IN CONTROVERSY.
Tbis action of tbe deleat is creat
ing much controversy. There are two
points involved in it. One is the tecb
uical one as to the authority of the
bisbrp, as a Catbolic prelate, to visit
with censure every Catholio society in
his diocese officered by liquor sellers
Sutollt asserts that authority. The
bishop in bis declaration does not put
nuy individual liquor seller under the
bun for his business merely, nor dons
he forbid liquor selling in itself; but
ne lormas the lrientinoutlon of religious
nqaor selling, by making liquor deal
ers prominent in them. Ele refuses to
voncb for them as Catholio societies
under snob circumstance.
Nevertheless, it is evident that tbe
circular letter of Bishop Watterson was
written to criticise ana censure the
liquor trufflo and that the letter of
Archbishop featolli sustains that crit
icism and censure, and, so far as it has
scope, endeavors to discredit the traf
flo and discourage Catbolica from en
gaging in it. Bnt it m ikes no general
decree on ihe subject, and, outside of
the diocese of Columbus leaves liquor
dealing where the eouncil of Baltmore
left It, discountenance,!, but not for-
uiuueD. .
OPINIONS OP TIU PRESS.
The issue thus raised is receiving
much attention in thechnrch and .I-J.
journals. The Irish World of tbis date
says;
The Judgment rendered by the papal
delegate does Dot apply to other dioceses
but its moral effect will operate for good
over tbe entire country. The liquor saloon
is under tbe ban, and the vocation of the
saloon keeper is stamped with ths brand of
discredit. Tbose in the business who have
a conscience will find that conscience
pricked from tnis day fortb. Regard for
themselves as decent men, regard for their
children, charity for their neighbors and
tbe desire to be at peace with their cbarch
that is in every Catholic's breast will give
them no rest till they get out. On the
other hand, those who have set their con
sciences to sleep will ntter defiance at all
mandates of the church, and some of them,
perhaps, will leave tbe church altogether.
One of them, in an inter-view given by him
in a dally paper, says he "would give up
his religion before his business" if it came
to be a question of choice. Such an avowal
reveals tbe demoralization which the traf
flc has wrought in this man already such
a man has bnt little religion to give np.
The People, Pennsylvania Prohibi
tion organ, today says:
Unless the ruling of Satolli Is reversed
by the pope, and that is not likely to be
done, the Catholio church has taken a de
cisive, bold, aggressive, Christian stand
against the saloon. Its position Is far In
advance of that of any other church.
There may be some bishop who will not
agree with Satolli, and who may do all in
V)ne of
loease tbi
Jiealed
the papal
bill, bat ti
their power to render It ineffective. None
the less a great step has been taken one
of the groatest in the war against rum.
It places ths Catholio church in tbe van of
temperance workers, and earns for it the
sympathy or tnousauas wno ordinnriiy
have not had any sympathy with
that church. Of course there will be
opposition. There are many Catholio
liquor deaiors, just as there are many
Protestant liquor dealers to whom the
profits of their business stand for mure
toan the prophets aud the gospel. These
men may rebol and leave the church, but
win tne cnurcn be the gainer or the loser
oy 117 iMor is the matter cuing to end with
tbe Catholio church. What that church
has had the conscience and the courage to
uo must reacn upon other churches, which
in the past have lacked courage to do what
conscience said was right and truo.
Satolli's decision should mark an epoch iu
mo temperance retorin, ana sUcuna lean
ihe Christian church at a unit against the
greatest evil of tbis or any othor age.
The Catholio Rsview says:
The monsiguor mint be recalled. There
never was any need of him bore. The
Amerlcau bishops never hud any use lor
htm; they did not ask for him, and when
he came they did not know what he camo
for. In fact, it could be said without un
truth that they do not know who sent
blin. Of course, he came with the pope's
commission, bnt nevertheless it cannot be
said as a matter of fact that tho pope sent
him here.
OTUER INTERESTING OPINIONS.
The Catholic Uuion and Times of
Buffalo says:
Tbis action is in line with the proceed
ing of the holy sue iu approving the Cath
olic Total Abstinence union of America.
It is carrying into effect the declaration of
the third pluuarv council of Baltimore.
made by the assembled fathers in these
words: "We call upon all pastors to in
duce any of their flocks who may be en
gaged in the sale of liquors to abandou as
soon as tbey can the dangerous traffic, and
to embrace a more becoming way of mak
ing a living." It is, however, more a vin
dication of the bishop's authority to make
such a regulation for the diocese of Colum
bus, than a justification of that regulation
as proper, prudent, or beneficial. Still,
that there Is room for extreme measures is
evident from these two indisputable facts:
1. No attention has been paid to the plen
ary council's recommendation that Cath
olics should abandon tho liquor business.
2. We have more than our share of saloon
keepers. The first point needs no proof so far as
this paper is informed, not one liquor
seller in the forty-five states of the uuion
has foraaken the dangerous traffic in com
pliance with the council's plea. On the
second point Father Lambing, of tbe
Pittsburg Catbolic Total Abstinence nuion,
supplies some data. He made an investi
gation of the per cent, of Catholics in cer
tain counties aud cities of Pennsylvania
auu me per cent, or uitnoncs among the
applicants for retail liquor licenses for 18U4
iu the same places. He found that in one
county, who I Catholics are less tbau 21
perceut. of' Ihe population they furnish
more than 44 percent, of the applicants for
licenses. In another couuty, the Catholics
number 40 per cent, of tbe population and
67 per cent of the saloon keepers. In a
third, the Catholics have 16 per cent, of
the inhabitants and !!5 per cent of the
liquor dealers. In a fourth, the Catholics
muke np about 13 per cent of the popula
tion und more than 40 per cent of tbe ap
plicants for permission to sell whisky and
beer. Similarly in one city, less than 30
per cent, of tne people are Catholic, but
more than 62 per cent, of tbe would-be sa
loon is ts are alleged to be of our religion.
Another city sbowg 30 per cent, of its pop
ulation Catholio and more than 06 per
cent, of its applicants for license of the
same faith.
VIKWS OP LIQUOR MEN.
The Wine und Spirit Gazette says,
disoussing the decree of the council of
Baltimore cited above:
These declarations have been again and
again declared to be only advisory and not
authoritative, but they assume an entirelv
different character in the liuhtof the eilii't.
ju.t issued bv Mgr. Satelli, who spoaks by
autuority or tne pope, Thev become now
tbe dogma of the church. Yet we doubt
whether Archbishop Corrican will dare to
enforce this edict. We predict It will ro-
main a ueaa letter In all tbe large cities of
tbe country. The attempt to enforce it
in the centers of population iu the
United States would bring the church of
Rome in conflict with au element in the
ranks of its own followers which is mot
powerful. It should be remembered in
this connection that fully three-fourths of
our retail liquor dealers are Roman Catho
lics. Will tne cbnrcb of Rome risk a war
with that element by denying to tbe mem
bers of tbe liquor fraternity the benefits
and rites of the church? We shall wait
and see.
Toe same paper remarks in a leading
article:
We appreciate fully th delicate position
in which Archbishop Cnrrlgan aud the
other bishop of the Catholio church iu
tbis country are placed by the decree of
ths papal delegate. Yet we are inclined
to believe that It will be disregarded by
the majority of the prelates of the church.
Iu cases like this the Roman Catholic
church bus always followed the mix of
placiug considerations of self preservation
and self interest above obedienso to a
papal decree. .Neither ArcbbUhoo Corri-
gac nor a majority of the bishops of the
church will dure to enforce this edict. Its
enforcement means war with an impor
tant element in the ranks of the adherents
of the church. Uuless a radical change
takes place in publio sentiment liquor
dealers need not worry over Mgr. Satolli's
Uimmauons against me liquor tramc 11
will most likely fall flat.
Tbe Wine and Spirit Gazette closes
its editorial in these words: "We

jority of the liqoor dealers of tbis city

Arohbisbob Corrigan to enforce in

TARIFF CONFERENCES RESUMED
After an Afternoon of Anxiety and

Without Instructions Nobody Will

Proceedings Devoid of Interest.
Washington. July 27.
CTpflE strugsle in the senate today
II on the issue of sending tbe tariff
Ubill back to conference without
instructions or conditions was
short, sharp and decisive. It began
with a renewal of the discussion of the
point of order made on Senator Wash
burn's motion to instruct the conferees
to recedo from the additional differen
tial dnty of one-eighth of a cent por
pound on sugar. Tbe point of order
that bad been taken on that motion
was that it was not in order, inasmuch
as it proposed to interfere with a "full
and free conference." Interest and
speculation in tbe situation closed
about Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, once a
it- public in now a Populist, and always
a tree sliver man.
If Mr. Stewart folt that be held the
koy to the situation lie did not show it.
He read a newspaper intently wbile the
debate on the Gray point of order was
in progress. What mude Mr. Stewart
so interesting a figure was bis action
in voting yesterday with a majority of
the Democrats, instead of opposing
them, against receding from the sen
ate amendments placing a duty on coal
and iron. If Mr. Irby. the Tillmanite
from South Carolina, had been present,
he too, would undoubtedly have shared
the interest given Mr. Stewart, bat
Mr. irby lert hers for bis home last
night after deserting tbe regular Dem
ocratic column and votinir with Mr.
Hill and tho Populists on the free iron
and coal motions, He ssenrod a pair.
however, with Senator Smith, of New
Jersey, on tbe augur schedule, and by
tlili means and through the position of
Mr. Stewart tbe tariff bill was left in a
most interesting condition of oncer
tainty.
THE REAL FDN BEOIN3;
Mr, Chandler suggested that the
small number of senators present was
hardly adequate to the intellectual
struggle going on, and he asked for a
call of tbe senate, which wub ordered.
Mr. Hurris, the president pro tern, de
livered his decision on tbe Doint of
order when the quorum appeared. He
decided that the power of each home
was as absolute and complete in the
absence of instructions as at any other
time. As everj feature of a conference
report must be submitted to tbe senate
for its approval, no power of the sen
ato was lost by failure to support or
uecieion to support. lie sustained
Senator Gray's point of order, and de
clared that Senator Washburn's mo
tion could not hold.
Senator Wasbburn immedintolv no
ted an appeal, nnd Senator Faulkner
moved to lay tbe appeal on tbe table.
ibe yeas and nays were ordered. The
vote on the motion to lav the aim ml
from the chair's decision on the table
resulted in a tie voto, yoas 32, nays 3 J,
and according to the parliamentary us
nge thonnys bad it.
ANALYZING THE VOTE.
The three Ponullst senators. Allen,
of Nebraska; Kyle, of South Dakota.
nnd Peffer, of Kinsas, voted with the
uepublicaas. So did Senator Hill, and
tbe vote of Senator Irby was paired
with that of another Democratic sena
tor, Mr. Smith, of New Jersey. Tbe
only ssnator who, not teing paired,
did not vote was Mr. Stewart, of
Nevada, who refrained from voting.
Pairs were announced botween Sena
tors Bntler and Cnmroo, Caffery and
Power, Camden and Pettigrew, Gor
don and Wilson, Harris and Sherman,
Jarvis and Hoar, Mcpherson and Mor
rill, Morgan and Qiiay,Sinith nnd Irby,
both Democrats, uud Voorhees and
Wolcott.
Then came the qnesiion whether the
decision of the chair should stand ns
the judgment of the senate, and it was
also decided in the negative in the
same way, the vote being identically
the same as in the first instauce. Tbe
next vote was on agreeing to Senator
Washburn's motion, and it also failed
from the sams course the lack of a
majority the vote for th third time
33 to 82; bat this time the Republican
senators and their allies voted aye and
the Democratic senators voted no.
Then Senator Gray's original motion
to insist and agree to a further con
ference was agreed to without a di
vision, and tbe same seven oonferees
were re-sppolnted, Following tho an
nouncement of the result of the last
vote there was much confusion owing
to tbe exchange of congratulations
among tbe Democrats that the crisis
bud been so happily passed. Quay thon
arose to address the senate with an
other installment of his tariff spesoh.
Mr. Qiay, however, did not speak
long, lio said be desired to make
some observations for the benefit of
the sonfereos and secured leave to
print thorn in the record. The senate
then proceeded to routine business.
TARIFF DILL IN THE SAFE.
Under tho rales of tho bouse today's
session was subject to a motion to con
sider bills on the calendar, bat when
Mr. Dunn (Dem., N. C.) made the mo

Tbe agreement of the senate to the re
quest of the bouse for a further confer
ence on the tariff bill was communi
cated by Secretary Cox, of tbe senate,
and the bill again sent to the oon
ferees. The tariff Mil, five minutes after the
action of the senate had been com
municated to the house by Secretary
Cox, was oarried to the room of the

And as a Consequence, the United

Scene and Rescued Him in the Nick

Mexican Authorities Which, if Re

LasVeqas. N. M.. Julv27.
TWO Mexicans (lead, several others
wounded, and two Americans in
enstody of the United States
troops, stationed at this place, is
the result of what might have been a
much bloodier riot, but for tbe pres
ence of mind of City Murshal Clay in
railing out tbe troops so promptly.
Tbe oconrrence is tne outcome of a
lynching which took place here about
four months ago, and which the offi
cers have since been trying to clear up.
Some days ago the sheriff obtained
information which tended to show that
one of tho lynching party was Jose
G.illegos. a noted outlaw, and a war
rant for his arrest was placed in the
hands of William Green, of Old Las
Vegas. Green was accompanied by a
Mexican, und on WeJnes lay evening
the two men cnm upon Gallegos in a
secinaea spot, tiallegos took refuge
behind a large tree and drew his wea
pon in dvfense, but on account of the
trigger catching he was too late in get
ting the "drop" on Gresn, who fired
upon him, wounding him so badly that
bis death ensued yesterday afternoon,
MEXICAN BLOOD IS FIRED.
The incident aroused tbe Mexican
people in Old Town for revenge, and
last night several of them, armed with
a warrant, entered Green's house on
Bridge street, aud were met by Ely
Green, a brother of William. While
be was parleying with ths officers bis
brother entered and was immediately
fired upon by one of the bellieerent
parties. This was the signal for a gen-
eiiti lusnaus in wnicu me ureen broth
ers poured lead from their Winchesters
with deadly effect. When tbe crowd
retreated it was found that Juan San
doval was dead and several were seri
ously wounded.
The sheriff then made his annearanr.n
and demanded that tbe Greens sur
render, which tbey refused lo do, Tear
ing foal play at the hands of the Mx
icans. City Marshal Clay commauded
tbe use of tbe telephone to call United
States troops, stationed at East Las
Vegas, and the call was rt-spouded to
in double quick time by Lieutenant
Crawford uud a detachment of the
Tenth infuutry.
UNCLE SAM TO THE RESCUE.
With fixod bayonets they surrounded
the besieged bouse, and after a spirited
consultation with tbe Greens, now
heavily armed, tbe agreement was ar
rived at tb take tbe Green brothers to
military headquarters until siifety
could be assured. Tbey are now be
ing olosely and heavily guarded, and
the governor has been telegraphed.
While the disturbance was going on
the Mexicans secured tbe Mexicau who
was with Green when the shootiug of
Gallegoes was done and dragged hitn
to jail in the old town. The command
ing offloer demanded tbe possession of
him also but was refused by the lut-rlll
aud bia posse at which Lieutenant
Crawford told them be would hold
tbe sheriff responsible for the safety
and delivery of tbe Mexicans to him in
the morning. Excitement is at fever
heat and it is not improbable that a
lynching or that another violent out
break may occur.

one of the guldos waa out of order.
There was a jolut in the guide
It was between two pieoes of bunt
ing, aud the joint bad been made
secure by a bucking of timber aud
by two bolts. This timber had
rotted, and no longer held tbe joint in
place. Tbis left the square end of tho
upper section to entail the shoe of the
earrlage if it should comu np the shaft.
The descent wus made all right, the
shoes of the carriage slipping by the
break in the guide.
"When tbe party was ready to as
cend the shaft Colonel Mason rein 'in
hered about the break iu the guide and
told Fir Boss Gates to go to tbe top of
the carriage and see that the shoe went
into its proper place when tbe carriage
reached the break. He did so, and when
the dangerous point was reached be
pushed Ihe shoe into place. The carriage
continued to ascend the shaft slowly
until tbe shoe at the bottom of
ths carriage reacbod the blunt end of
the guide that was exposed, by reason
of the lower section having fallen
back. Tbe shoe, to all appearances,
was caught by the end of the timber,
and tha carriage forced under the
bunting. Nothing could withstand
tbe strain tbus brought about, and the
oarriage timbers gave way, the plat
form and men going to the bottom of
the shaft."
