template any attempt at breaking the
strike by a resumption ot work at a

to wait until the miners grow tired of
the strike and return to work of their
own volition, as they ultimately will
do."

There Are, He Says, 1,542 New Lieu

Have to Be Qualified for Independ
ent: Command Urges That All
West Point Graduates Help to
Make the Education of These Now
Officers Complete.
By Kxihuhc Wire from The Auocited Press.
Washington, July 22. Secretary Root,
before leaving Washington today, is
sued the following:
With the reduction of the Phillonlna
'force and the withdrawal from Cuba, the
army is called upon to resume Its most
important work in time of peace the
work of perfecting Itself In military sci
ence and skill, and of promoting the prep
aration of the United States agulnst fu
ture wars. 1 wish to cull your attention
to tho conditions which now require es
pecial effort and zeul on your part In the
performance of this duty.
Since the declaration of war with Spain
in April, IMS, there have been appointed
in the lino of army, 1,342 lieutenants, In
addition to 2TK appointed from tho mili
tary academy. Of these till! were anDolnt-
cd from officers of volunteers under the
act of February. 1001; 4H were appointed
from the enlisted men of the regular and
volunteer armies and 512 weie appointed
from civil life.
The abandonment of military schools
for commissioned offlcerv, which followed
the employment of the entire army in
active military operations, lias left theso
1,512 new lieutenants substantially with
out any means of ucquhing a system
atic military education. While many of
the former officers ol volunteers have ac
quired tho most valuable experience by
active service in the field, jet it is of great
Importance to thcin, as well as to the un
trained appointees from civil llfo and
from the' ranks, that they shad huvo an
opportunity for broad and thorough train
ing, both practical and theoretical, under
lio co'mpot'ent'masters In the art of war
whom our army Is able to supply.
Congress has now with wise liberality
made provision for tho re-openlng of tho
army sc'hools, lias given Its sanction to
the general system of military education
embodied In the general order of Novem
ber 27 Inst, Including the enlargement unit
development of trie Fort Leavenworth
school Into a general service and staff
college, the establishment of tho war col
lego at Washington, with suitable hutld
ings, and tho ro-bullding of the engineer
school; and bus made amplo appropria
tions for these purposes.
Kvery effort will be made by the war
college board, which has general super
vision and charge ot tho whole system,
to bring Its advantages to the new officers
of the army as speedily as possible and
to organize officers' schools at ull the con
siderable posts without delay. I ask for
hearty and effective co-opcratlon with
them on the purl of every officer of tho
army. There arc 1.432 gruduutcs ot tho
military academy now holding commis
sions. They especially havo an opportun
ity to demonstrate their loyalty to the
principles of that Institution by helping
to diffuse throughout the bcrv.cc'tho ben
efits which have come to them from their
four years of hard study.
The newly appointed officers should real
Ire tlmt there is much to be learned, uud
that tho way to qualify themselves for
tho high and Independent command, for
which they should nil hope. Is by con
stunt intellectual exercise and by system
atic study of the reasons of mllltnry ac
tion and the materials and conditions and
difficulties with which military command
ers havo to deal.
Careful attention to the Instruction ot
the newly appointed officers Is enjoined
upon all regimental, troop, battery and
company commanders. They should be
Impressed with tho Importance of the
faithful performance of every duty, how
over unimportant It mriy appear to them,
and with their responsibility for such con
duct and bearing In all their relations as
shall do honor to the service.

SUPREME COURT CASES.
Three Causes of Interest Docketed in

By Kxcluihc Wire Iiom The Associated Pres.
Washington, July 22. The caso Involv
ing tho right of the state of New York
to tmposo a franchise tax on tho cab line
maintained In the" city of New York by
tho Pennsylvania Railroad company to
carry passengers to and from Its Twenty
third street ferry, was docketed in tho
Supremo court of tho United States to
day. The question Involved is whether
the cab lino Is a local Institution or a
part of the Pennsylvania, system. The
New York courts held that tho lino was
no part of tho railnoad system and that
It therefore was -subject to taxation.
Two cases Involving tho construction
of the Pennsylvania state law authorizing
municipalities to tax telegraph companies
whose lines enter their limits were dock
eted today In the United States Supreme
court. The cases raise the question of
tho validity of the law as applied to bo
roughs, tho two boroughs affected being
those of Taylor and New Hope. Theso
corporations imposed a license fee on the
poles and wires ot the Postal Telegraph
company. The company contends that
the proceeding is contrary to tho Inter
state commerce law. Tho decision In tho
state courts was favorable to tho stuto's
contention.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
ON NEGOTIATIONS
GIFTS FROM THE POPE.
Mr. Root Tells Governor Taft How
They May Be Accepted
By Excluthc Wire from The Associated Prcs.
Washington, July 22. Governor Taft
has acquainted Secretary Itoot with
the fact that tho pope tendered several
pretty and appropriate gifts to himself
and the members of his party, nnd ho
has asked whether these can bo ac
cepted lawfully. It was nt once recog
nized that tho' question thus presented
Involved some very delicate and Inter
esting points, principal among them
being a possible decision, expressly to
be avoided at this stage In the opinion
of tho officials, as to the temporal pow
ers of the pope. It these were decor
ations or gifts of large value, then
under the constitutional Inhibition they
might not be received without author
ity of congress It tho pope is regarded
as having temporal power as being a
prince, a potentate or a sovereign.
Secretary Root has, however, avoided
an unpleasant decision of this question
by Informing Governor Taft that If
theso gifts arc not of considerable in
trinsic value and are personal In char
acter they, may bo accepted as mere
souvenirs, In which case the person
ality ot the giver need not be a matter
of official inquiry. On the other hand,
If the gifts are of exceptional value,
which Is not believed to be the caso
from the newspaper reports, then they
may be deposited In the' Smithsonian
institution in this city.

SOVEREIGN PONTIFF
IS MUCH PLEASED
Archbishop Declares the Reports
Sent to London Papers by the Rome
Correspondents Concerning the Ne
gotiations Were Absolutely Un
foundedThat the Scene of the"
Negotiations Have Been Trans
ferred from Rome to Manila Might
, Have Been Expected from the
Beginning.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
St. Puul, July 22, Archbishop John
Ireland, in an interview with a repre
sentative of the Associated Press to
day, reviewed at some length the pro
gress of the negotiations conducted be
tween Judge Taft and the Vatican, and
took to tusk certain Catholic organ
izations that had assumed to question
the fairness ot the administration to
ward their co-rcllglonlsts. The arch
bishop said:
Yc, tho news l'tom Rome Is quite sat
isfactory, and It Is, I am sure, quite cor
rect. Private udvlccs coming to mo from
the most reliable source confirm, in all
respects, the dispatches given by the As
sociated Press. The sovereign pontiff and
other Roman authorities are delighted
with Governor Taft personally and with
the negotiations in course of progress be
tween him and tho Vatican.
Reports sent out by tho corresp'ondents
of certain London papers to the effec't
that the pontiff was displeased with the
manner of noting of the commission of
cardinals appointed to trOat with Gover
nor Taft wero absolutely unfounded. As
stated In this morning's Roman dis
patches, tho pontiff assured Governor 'aft
that ho was most satisfied -and happy
at the results so fur obtained, and that
ho. was confident tho negotiations begun
In Rome would bo the starting point of
a complete and 'satisfactory conclusion cf
the matter tinder discussion.
Necessity for Transfer.
This statement sums up in the most
cxilct manner the situation as tho vati-.
can views It, and us It really is. That
tho negotiations have not yet reached
final conclusions and uro to bo transferred
from Romu tp'Munila Is what might have
been expected from tho beginning. Gov
ernor Taft Is In a hurry to return to
the Philippines and could not prolong his
stay In Rome, and on the other hand the
problems to be solved are so complicated,
especially from tho Vatican standpoint,
that time in the work is of prime neces
sity. Ho curries awuy with him the pontiff's
statement that the negotiations begun In
Rome will prove to havo been In the
starting point of u complete, sati'factoiy
solution of the questions nt issue, and
that much he considers to bo quite suf
ficient for the moment. There can bo no
doubt that the active co-operation of the
vntlean Is now secured to tho American
government In its task of pacification In
tho Philippines, nnd thnt In the results
to come tho administration at Washing
ton will huve ample reason to felicitate
Itself for' huving sent Governor Tuft to
Rome.
And now it Is to be hoped there will be
among certain classes of Catholics in
America, a cessation of movements and
declarations such as we have had recent
occasion to hear ot regarding religious
matters In tho Philippines. The pope
touches thoso Catholics to trust the
American government, as they seemingly
havo heretofore been unwilling to do. In
his conversation with Governor Taft ho
expressed tho highest esteem for Ameri
can methods of treating church mutteis,
and rcmuiked thnt he had more than
once pointed towards the United States
ns setting an example well worth copy
ing. Taken to Task.
His words ought to signify something
to those who profess to tako him ns their
leader and guide. At any rate, tho direc
tion of Catholic affairs is his business,
not that ot Irrespnnsiblo church societies
or newspaper edltois, and when hu in
fotms Catholics that any ono mutter is In
his hands, thej ought pinmptly to step
usldo and allow him to huvo chargo ot It.
Tho question of religion In tho Philip
pines Is now formally and ofllclnlly hla
own, and It should bo considered ns, such.
A fow may icmalu who believe that they
have a better understanding of It than ho
has, and will Insist on tolling him how .to
haudlu It; but such as thoso are few and
nt least it will bo clear that they hold no
bilef whatover from tho Cutholtc church
at large.
As to Mr. Taft I quoto from a letter
which I received yesterday from a Cath
olic priest living In the archoplscopal pal
ace in Manila, the Rov, father McKlu
uou; "I can assure you nothing could he
more unjust than tho criticisms of Gov
ernor Taft appearing In soma Cathojlu
pnpers. Governor Taft has hot a par
ticle of bigotry In his make-up. In all
his acts here, I defy any one to say ho
lms shown himself prejudiced In tho
least."
Some of the Facts. ' "
And ns to schools in the Philippines, why
not when tho presonco of non-Cathollu
teachers is talked of, stato that out ot a,
total of 5,000 teachers, 3,500 are Filipino
Catholics? Why. not stato that Father
McKlnuon Is a member of the schpol
board of Manila? And why, when men
tion Is mado ot non-Cutlioilo teachers,
allow the false Impression to go abroad
that many of theso wero ministers and
nctlvo prosclytlzers? And why not re
member that, by the law of the Islands;,
clergymen who are ministers In any placo
of organized congregations may three
times a week teach religion In the schools
of tho place, the condition that they bo
ministers of organized congregations vir
tually confining tho privilege to tho Cath
olic priesthood? Perhaps, Ideally, some
thing moro might bo desired; but Ilia
conditions within which tho government;
Is confined must bo considered; and, at
least, when disadvantages to religion uia
quoted, tho advantages 'that are allowecj
should also he set forth-
