Pope Leo Utters Some Significant Words at
the ConsIstory.

the Consistory.
BALTIMORE, July 3.-The CdthOIie Mr-
ror, in this weeks issue, prefaces its intro
duction to the report of the elevation Of
Archbishop Gibbons to the C~ardinalate as
follows: ''There is little doubt but that
Cardinal Gibbons appointment is the first
of several that will be made in other Sees as
soon as the opportunity offers. At the con-
sistory held on the 18th ult., at which Car
nal Gibbons was nominated and confirmed,
Leo XIII. said: The flourishing state of
Catholicity in the United States, which de-
velops daily more and more, and the con-
ditiOn and form according to which the
ecclesiastical canons of that country are
formulated, advise us, OF rather demand,
that some of their prelates be received into
the Sacred College"
In the editorial on ''The significance of
the event." the Mirror says: whether
this means that the number of Cardinals
will be raised above its present. standard of
seventy in order to accomplish the end in
view, or whether vacancies shall be waited
for until the desired number of seats are
prepared for new occupants, cannot be
said. But, however that matter be set
tied, it seems certain, according to authen-
tic rumors in the best informed circles Of
Rome, that the United States is to have
more Cardinals"
Baltimore will celebrate the Centennial
of the foundation of the first Catholic See
in the United States on the 9th of NOvem-
Der, 1891, and it is thought here that be-
fore that time, Boston and San Francisco,
as well as Baltimore, will have representa-
tives in the Sacred College of Cardinals.

What the Senate Committee Says About the
Presidents VetoeS

WASHINGTON, July s. The Senate
Committee OH Pensions in its report recon-
mending the passage over the Presidents
veto of the bill granting q pension TO Mary
J.. NOttage, says:
80 great has become the number Of
such vetOes interpoSed by the present
executive, all within a few weeks
past. and so extraordinary the
censure sometimes rudely expressed
and in nearly every instance severely i'm
piled on the action of the Houses Of Con-
gress and of their committees upon which
has devolved the wearisome and generally
unappreciated labor of investigating these
claims, accompanied in many cases by such
ridicule of and evident disgust with the
claims themselves, that your committee
felt that they are justified in Il brief re-
view of the circumstances involved. In
doing this a strong effort will be made to
retain a not unnatural feeling of indigna-
ton which if not permitted to assume the
proportions which the provocation justl-
fes would wholly destroy the respectful
forms of expression which must be main
tanned in official intercourse between the
different officers and departments of the
Government. This becomes the more neces-
sary in proportion Us it is rendered the
lsns..1. L.. ,n,,, ,f thA uninst and
unexampled style in which some OF
the messages of the President
are expressed. 1t shall be the
effort of the committee to act on this diff
cult matter without violating the cOurtesies
of official intercourse by initiating an eX-
ample which, so fur rs we are aware, Is
without precedent, and which, so far rs we
are concerned, shall remain so" The
committee proceeds to show that PC percent
of Senate bills and only - percent OF
House bills submitted to the President
have been vetoed, and says it is not insen-
sible to the special condemnation which
this disparaging contrast intlicts.
ANOTHER VETO.
The President to-day vetoed the Senate
bill for the relief of Martin Rundy. In the
veto message the President says that the
claimant, who was a quartermaster, on the
settlement of his accounts was found to be
indebted to the Government, ThereupOn he
put in a claim for forage for horses more than
sufficient to offset his Indebtedness. There
is no suggestion that he had foragcd any
horses, and if he did and failed to make
a claim of forage at the time he settled his
accounts "thcn," says the President, he
presents a case of incxcusable ignorance of
his rights or wonderful lack of that dispO-
sition to take every possible advantage
usually found among those who deal with
the government"

Villas In His Department.

Villas In His Department
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The attention
of Postmaster General Villas was called to-
day to a statement telegraphcd from In
dianapolis, that the Grand Lodge of rail-
road postal clerks, in session
there, had telegraphed him ask
ing if he would receive a committee
in the hope of securing an amicable settle
ment ofthe troubles. General Villas said
he had received no telegram from postal
clerks but some one outside the service
had telegraphed him on the sub
iect. As he did not recognize this
party's right to speak for the clerks ne
would not reply. The Postmaster-General
said that what little noise is being made
out west is directly traceable to the
clerks recently dismissed from service
for good and sufficient cause. They
were trying by a little buster" he said,
