New YORK, Sept. 27.-AlI but four of
what are known as the Grant" or "306"
medals that were placed in the superin-
tendent of the assays offices for distribu
ton have been claimed by those entitled
to them. The gentlemen for whom these
four medals are intended are Mr., Charles
E. Cornell, ex-congressman, John D. Law
son, Judge William F. Tracy, of the court
+ of appeals, and ex-mayor Schroeder, of
Brooklyn. Mr.. Cornell is the son of Gov
ernor Cornell. The reason why he should
not be eager to claim the 1906" medal, say
some sarcastic commenters, is not difficult

1ne directors OF the association in Session
at Chicago-Father Nugent's Work in
Ireland.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Sept. 27- The directors of the
Cothohc Colonization society of the United
States met at the Grand Pacific this morn
ing. The following were present: Bishop
Spaulding, Peoria; Bishop Ireland, St.
Paul; Bishop Fitzgerald, Little Rock;
General Lawlor, Wisconsin,; Anthony
Kelly, Minneapolis, Rev. W. j. Onahan.
Chicago, The forenoon was occupied in
hearing reports from different colonies
which were of a very encouraging character.
1t was resolved to pay a small dividend on
stock, the amount of which will be made
known soon. The Rev. Father Nugent Of
Liverpool, who has been SO prominent for
many years IN the temperance
cause, said he paid an annual to this
country for the pasts.four years. His sub
iect this year especially is to prepare the
way for the large Irish emigration which
is likely to flow in next year in conse-
quence of the appropriation of 100000 by
the British government to promote and aid
emigration among the Irish people. His
purpose is to direct the immigration into
the proper channels, and prevent them
from settling in the large cities, but rath-
er have them locate on western lands,or at
any rate go into districts where they
may obtain agricultural labor He has
visited, he says all parts of Canada,
and has succeeded in inducing the Catholic
bishops and clergy to agree to
take five families to each parish. The gov
ernment will give e5 to each emigrant, so
that family of father, mother and four
children viii receive a capital of $50 to
start on. He says he is far from advocat-
ing a wholesale exodus, or of clearing the
warehouses Of Ireland OF their pauper
population and turning it loose upon
America. His object is simply to aid
poor, struggling families of evicted
tenants, and tender those who deserve it.
sympathy and help. There are number
of Catholic colonies in Minnesota, Nebras-
ka and Arkansas, and they are succeeding
admirably. When asked about his tenn
perance work, he replied: Il revived the
work of Father Mathew in England, and

Last Evening.

Meeting Of the Board of Commissioners
Last Evening.
The board Of fire commissioners held a
meeting last evening, with full board, at
which they talked over matters generally
and transacted the following formal bust
ness:
The chief of police was requested to
send sufficient policemen to every fire to
prevent persons from driving over the hose
when laid, and also to keep people from
preventing firemen in discharging their
duties
The chief engineer was authorized to
employ extra teams to do outside work. in
order that the horses attached to the steam
ers and truck may be always on hand in
case of fire. To obviate this necessity the
board also concluded to purchase one or
more extra teams to be used in case of
emergency.
Bids for seventy-five tons of soft coal
were opened and the awards were.
equally divided between Griggs g. Foster
and the Northwestern Fuel company. at
$3.50 per ton for hard and $50 for soft.
The board also decided to purchase 1000
feet of ''test" hose at ninty-five cents:
500 feet of White Anchor, at S1.5O and SOC
feet of Fireman's Friend at eighty-eight
cents per foot.
They also passed resolutions asking the
city council to provide building for the
new Hays fire truck, and also to organ
ize and equip new fire company of eleven
men to run it.
The usual bills were audited and pay
rolls for September allowed when the
board adjourned.
