A PASTORAL LETTER

From the Archbishop and Bishop OF NH
waukee on the Subject of Parochiai
Schools and the Relations of Capital and
Labor.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 5.-The pas
toral letter of the Archbishop and Bishop
of the Catholic province of this city, as
sembled in the First Provincial Council,
to the laity in their charge, has been
made public. 1t defines the position OF
the church upon the school question and
capital and labor. On the former the
letter says:
Parochial schools have been one of the
principal subjects of deliberation in the
Third Plenary. as we'll as in our own Provin-
caI Council 1t will be our duty to enforce

On the subject of capital and labor the
letter says:

call that of capital and labor Is the old dit
ference emphasized in the gospel between
the rich and the poor. ''Woe to the rich ana

to render absolute justice to those who have
rejected His absolute law of love. When
capitalists follow the heather rule to buy

with them, and when Iaborers imagine that
all men should have an equal share in the
comforts and enjoyments OF this earthly
life, Divine Providence has ruled other

society than wealth and extravaganza. To

1T WORKS BOTH WAYS,

A Canadian Vessel Detained at Chicago by
Reason of a Technical Violation of the In
ternational Maritime Laws.
CHICAGO, June 4.-The Canadian steam
barge Nipigon arrived here yesterday in a
sinking condition, and under circum-
stances possessing peculiar interest in
view of the clashlng between the Ameri.
can and Canadian maritime interests. Her
crew were completely worn out by excess
sive labor at the pumps, and were almost
ready to give up the fight to keep the yes
sci afloat. The Nipigon was loaded with
stone at Vert island, Lake Superior
While proceeding toward Sault st. Marie
she was overtaKen by Il severe northerly
gale which shook her up so badly that
she began to leak. Captain Conlon, wish
ing to get to Chicago with all possible
haste, did not stop at Mackinaw or She.
boygan, as the law requires, to report the
entrance of his vessel into American
waters. He says he did not want to risk
the chance of delay, however slight,
because his vessel was in altogether toe
bad a plight, and the lives of his crew
might have been endangered.
The law says that Il foreign vessel
about to enter American waters must re-
port the fact to the collector of the first
United States port on her route and OBJ
tain from him permission to continue the
trip. The penalty for violation of the
statute is nothing less than forfeiture of
the vessel and cargo. Yesterday the cap-
tain called upon Collector Seeberger, to
whom he related the story of his Vessels
condition, and the necessity of reaching
Chicago or some other port where there
is dry dock without delay. Under Col.
lector Seeberger's advice Captain Conlan
prepared statement of the facts and for.
warded it to the Treasury Department.
Until Collector Seeberger hears from
Washington the Nipigon will not be al.
lowed toleave port.

Why They Did Not Accept.

NEW YORK, June 4.-General Wingate,
President of the National Rife Assocla-
ton, was asked this morning why the
British Rife Association did not accept
the American Associations challenge to
shoot military rifle match.
"The reason they did not" said the
General, 81 learned from Commissary
Oliver, of the Twenty-third regiment,
who took personal letter from me to
Sir John Halpin. That gentleman said
1t was due to the extremely hard times
there; and the politlcaF struggle now
going on takes away all interest III the
match, and would make it too hazardous
a risk to undertake."
This makes the third refusal on the
part of the British riflemen to accept the
American challenge to shoot since the
last meeting.

AN lMPASSABLE BARRIER.

Tactics of Strikers Wives and Children in
Chicago to Prevent the Movement OF
Trains.
CHICAGO, June Sat ten. O'Clock yes
terday morning an engine of the r. T. road
was sent to Cummings to attempt to move
the four cars loaded with rails made by
newmen. The removal was preventea by
the wives and families of former employees,
assembled around the terminus of the
railroad tracks. When the engine ap.
preached there was a rush to where the
loaded cars were standing. Mothers
grouped their little ones along the
track some distance ahead of the Grst
freight car, and packed them acc ording
to age along the rails, the youngest to-
ward the approaching engine, the moth
ers and grown-up daughters taking the
rear. The engineer seeing the living,
breathing obstacle on the track, reversed
and returned to South Chicago.
Then the women dispersed, and on
their return jeered and abused the rep
resentatives of the company at the nail
works gate, calling them most oppro-
brious names, the police by their pres
ence only preventing the infection of
violence by the infuriated women.
At two O'Clock, when the engine APP
peared again, fully two thousand women
and children were thronging the tracks,
and apparently as determined as before.
Sixty police from Hyde Park had come
down in the meantime. The women,
feeling sure they would not be dubbed,
refused to move, or moved very slowly
when told to do SO, and closed up again
on the tracks, unless absolutely held back
by the officers. For some time great ex-
element prevailed. The police finally
succeeded in getting the women away
from the tracks without resorting to
harsh measures, but the attempt to move
the cars was abandoned. More of the
same kind of trouble is expected to-day
