ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.
Appeal Of Viear.General Quinn, Of New
York, in His Behalf.

Appeal Of Viear.GeneraI. Quinn, Of New
York, in His Behalf
NEw YoRK, September 9l.-In the Ca
thedral to-day Vicar General Quinn said
that he wished to announce again to this
congregation, as had been done on the
last two Sundays, that the collection
which was to be made in the Cathedral
and in other churches Of this diocese that
morning would be devoted to the part
payment of the debts Of the Diocese Of
Cincinnati, or rather to the Archbishop OF
Cincinnati.
"You have already learned" )" said Father
Quinn, through the public press, that
these debts are immensely large, exceed
ing $S,500,000; that they are owing to a
large number Of creditors, many OF whom,
understand, are poor, and who have been
in the habit from time TO time OF placing
their little funds in the hands Of the Very
Rev. Edward Purcell, the brother Of the
Archbishop, and for many years his Vicar
General, somewhat rs though he had been
q savings bank. For causes that we do not
understand, this money has not
been properly invested for the benefit OF
the many creditors, but has been
used for other purposes, perhaps in
some respects good enough, and is now
not forthcoming to meet the demand, aud,
as far as We know, there seems to be 10th.
ing left except few churches, the semi.
nary, and, perhaps, some charitable insh-
tutions, which are in the name OF the
Archbishop, and for which, It Is said, q
portion OF this vast sum was expended.
At very full meeting Of the Archbishops
and Bishops Of the United States, held i'm.
mediRtely alter the dedication 1.-THE CAthe-
dral under the auspices Of the Cardinal, 1t
was agreed by them that q general appeal
should be made to tHe Catholics for a part
Of the debt-frst, on account Of their sym.
pathy for the venerable Archbishop, who
Is now overwhelmed with grief at his sad
financial condition; and second, to
do something TO meet the necessi.
ties and the wants OF those
poor creditors who had 80 much conf.
dence in the promise Of the Bishop
through his Vicar General, and for which
promise he is held directly responsible, al.
though we are confident that there is no
moral guilt attached to him thereby. With.
out, however, considering the causes Of
this financial ruin, tits, am sure sufficient
for you to know that it exists, and under
such painful circumstances 20 insure your
liberality and your generous offerings, and
1t Is in this spirit that l appeal to you
now"
No idea OF the amount Of money con-
tributed in the various churches could be
gained tonight, as few returns had been
made 70 the Yicar.G General.

OUR RETURSED HERO.
His Movements Yesterday, and Future
Programme.

Programme.
SAN Francisco, September 22.-This
forenoon Gen. Grant, by special request,
reviewed the Stockton Guards in the court
Of the Palace. Shortly before noon, accom-
panied by Mrs. Grant, Mayor and Mrs.
Bryant, he visited a photograph gal
lery and had some pictures taken. His
departure from the hotel by the side ell
trance was unobserved, and the party
walked to the gallery, the General being
recognized by but four persons, and then
only by passing glance, This afternoon
the party, consisting OF the General and
Mrs. Grant, with suite, Mayor Bryant,
Supervisors Daniorth. Gibbs and Taibatt,
Generals Coey and Miller will drive to the
Cliff, where they will lunch.
At the California Theatre great prepa.
rations are being made for the production
OF the Color Guard and the reception Of
General Grants party this evening, boxes
being arranged aud ornamented for their
reception. The First regiment band will
assist and the orchestra will perform an
army quadrille, composed for the occasion
by the conductor, Prof. Withers, and ded.
icated 10 General Grant. At 9o'clock this
morning the line was formed at the box
Office, and it Is likely that there will be a
tremendous crowd in the evening. The
General has accepted an invitation TO visit
Virginia City about October 20. On his
way TO the East he will time his visit to
Oregon so that 1t will take place during the
State fair, the first week in October.
The California Theatre has seldom con.
tanned such an audience as has assembled
there this evening, to witness the
performance Of the military spectacle Of
the Color Guard, in honor Of General
Grant, Long before the doors were
opened, the street was thronged with
people and the outer lobby Of the theatre
packed. The auditorium was literally
iammed and many were turned away, un.
able TO obtain admission. The boxes re.
served for General Grant and party were
handsomely draped with the National col
ors. The same ornamentation was carried
around the balcony.
The play was magniacently put on the
stage and presented three full companies
Of the National Guard which added to the
scenic effect. Shortly after the com.
mencement Of the second act the roars oI
the enthusiastic crowd on the street gave
notice that the expected guest had arrived
Rt tue outer entrance. The street in front
Of the theatre for an entire block was al
most impossible on account Of the cheer
ing crowd. r, q 1T ~
In few minutes the party made theil
appearance in the boxes, when the audi
ence rose TO their feet en- masse, cheering
and applauding continuously, while th(
curtain was run down till the uproar had
subsidized. Gen. Grant acknowledged thu
ovation by bowling to the right and left
Order being restored, the Performance
went on. At the close Of the second &C
the orchestra played an army quadrille
dedicated TO Gen. Grant The Genera
paid close attention 10 the performance
expressing his qualification plainly by hi

Reporter-But you have seen your
name mentioned In the newspapers?
Gen. Garfeld-Yes; newspaper genius
runs TO Ioretelling coming events, but peo.
pie have to wait for results before they
can pass on its accuracy.
Reporter-You say the hardest fight
this campaign will be for the Legislature?
General Garfeld-Yes, the Democrats
In 1928 in the Constitution fixed q system
Of Floats" which will make It harder for
us 10 elect q Legislature this year than In
other years. They fixed the representa-.
ton 50 that where there was a county
having enough to give them a member,
and have fraction over, would every
three years have two. This was very
Just measure, but they further arranged
this system OF representation In al
manner not quite as Just. They look
ed over the districts and arranged them
so that in counties where there were large
Democratic maioritles these FLOATS" as we
call the extra members, would be elected
in years In which there was Senatorial
election. In Republican counties, on the
contrary, they arranged to have the
Floats" elected in years in which there
would be no Senatorial election. Thus you
see that even II there were no change in
the popular vote OF the State, 1t Is harder
for US 10 the Senatorial years TO elect, . |
majority Of the Legislature. This year Is |
one, and we have to elect four or FIVE
members more in this year than In year
In which there was no Senatorial election,
in order to get the majority.

BURMAII.

LONDON, September GA dispatch from
Rangoon says that It is generally believed
that orders have been Tent to the acting
Minister resident OF Mandalay, Burmah,
to leave with his party as soon as he cam
without betraying undiGniied haste or the
appearance Of fear This measure will
give general satisfaction, as no intercourse
now exists between the Minister resident
and the Burmese Court. 1t is lust posi-.
BILE that the acting Minister may think il
less dangerous to remain quietly than TO
leave, but it is not probable. The actual
risk to the members is only slight, but
still some risk is inevitable so long as the
King continues his driASing orgies and is
surrounded by young advisers too igno.
rant and hot-headed to appreciate the dan.
ger OF a war with England. The Burmese
were reported to be delighted at the depar.
ture Of Col. Brown, British Minister, de-
claring that they only desired to be left
alone. The King dislikes having foreign.
ers near him. Everything is reported
quiet at Mandalay althoug gh the Kings
crue!ties continue.

GENERAL GRANT will not come East for
about two weeks. When he does come
the country will rise up along the route
and do him honor. This is not because
Of his Presidency, past or prospective, but
because Of a deeper appreciation Of his
services during the war, since We have
seen how those services were appreciated
and recognized in Europe. In the old
world military men classed Grant with
the great commanders OF great armies, and
they spoke OF him as our Won Moltke,
whom he SO closely resembles as a silent,
nndemOnstrative, determined and resist.
less man. Then, too, the bearing Of Grant
has been 80 becoming through every scene
Of his experience. He has always been
the grave, modest man Of few words.
Not an allusiOn to himself in
any Of his answers to public addresses,
and never ones selfshly appropriating to
himself any Of the honors showered upon
him, but always speaking Of them as In
tended compliments to the country from
which he came. The people Of this coun
try have seen in Grants conduct abroad
the same strong head that never lost ID
balance during the war. They have tailet
to detect the slightest sign Of anything
preantious. Like Wellington, his ,heaG
