Catholic Honors Proposed.

New YORK, Aug. 9.-Some leading Catholic
gentlemen Of New York have been talking over
the p~roprietv of honoring the memory of the
late General Sheridan by holding a service in
the chief church of the city, and . committee Is
to be appointed to wait upon his Grace. Arch
bishop Corrigan, to seek his cooperation aud to
authorize a requiem mass at the Cathedral
Steps have already been taken to make the cere-
monial all that the occasion demands. and the
metropolis Of America will do honor to itself in
the honors it will pay to the memory of the IL
lustrious Catholic soldier. 1t is possible that in
CHICAGO. Detroit, Baltimore and other leading
cities similar services will be held on the same
day; in fact, that the event will be distinctly
national.

MIR. Shier's Intention.

Mr.. r. 4. Shiel desires it to be stated that the
explanation of his relation TO the movement for
the nomination Of Governor Porter, made in
Wednesdays convention after the recess, was
not intended to continue that movement, but,
rather, to allow the Governors desire to have its
way and to leave the convention unhampered to
reach any other conclusion it might desire. The
Interpretation placed upon it in the Journals re-
pert was a misconception.

A Magazine Article by the General.

New York Times.
Outside of his memoirs. which will be pub
lished in December, it was not generally known
that General Sheridan had written anything for
publication. But it was yesterday reported that
Charles Scribner's Sons had procured from him
an article for publication IN their magazine,
and upon inquiry at their Office the report was
verified.
The article will be entitled From Gravelotte
to Sedan" and will appear 10 the November
number of Scribner's Magazine. 1t is the only
contribution ever made by General Sheridan to
q periodical. and covers a part of his career
which it was impossible for any other pen than
his own to record. General Sheridans position
as a non-combatant observer OF the Franco
Prussian war. attached to the personal staff OF
the German Emperor as the invited representa-
tive of the United States army, was a fact with
out precedent In American history. The Gen.
eral kept careful notes during the whole or
the campaign and his other experiences in Eu-
rope, and the article promises TO be Of great in
terest.
The picture be gives 10 as vivid as the situa-
sion was unusual. The article is written with
the greatest spirit and force. in q concise and
unpretentious but peculiarly clear style, which
Sheridan had in common with Grant. No one
will wonder. after reading his accounts Of the
operations. with its shrewd and independent
Judgments y L iOrCte WHtcu no ucitucr upuctSssi
mated nor omit ed to ~criticise, tn at the German
officers all acknowledged him at orce as a mas
ter of his profession.
The personal side of the article-his reminis-
cences of the Prussian leaders-especially of
Bismarck and Won Moltke, is also of extraor-
binary interest. Bismarck talked to him with
remarkable frankness on all subjects; and a
good many facts about the Iron Chancellor will
appear for the first time in this article. His
confidence to Sheridan that all his early ambi-
tions had been in the direction OF q
military life may have been made also to
others; but probably not his declaration
that be began life with tendencies
''all toward Republicanism." but that his polit-
ical life had taught him to believe that Germany
was not sufficiently advanced for republican
ism." The narrative abounds with character
istic stories of both sides of Bismarck-from q
capital description of his jumping alone from
his carriage with a pistol and clearing the streets
Of the village of Gore, to the historical moment
(which is described with wonderful vividness).
when he Gismounted abreast Of the carriage Of
the defeated Napoleon. and ''saluted the En-
peror in a quick, brusque way which seemed to
stsrtle him."
This article does not deal with the military
techuicalities of the battles, except for occasion
al signs of very shrewd observation, but is writ
ten upon a larger scale, as though the dramatic
force Of what he was watching could not but get
the better of the merely professional point Of
view. This gives the story, perhaps, its great
est attraction, and certain passages show q re-
markabls aud unexpected power Of word paint
ing.

Letter From Dubois to Phil REAGAN

Washington, D. C., Jan. -, 1888.
My DEAR SIR Your tele.rarhic
protest from the board Of trade of
Haley against the division of Idaho was
received and used by me before the
Senate committee to-day in argument,
and | also have introduced it into the
House and secured its reference to the
House committee on territories. | think
that we shall win the fight, although the
opponents are making very rorsi,ten,
Efforts to destroy the territory. Senator
Stewart, the chairman Of the sub com
mttee of the Senatc, to which the bill
has been referred, is using every en-
deavor to get a favorable report from
that committee. | hope to beat Kim in
his own committee, and it not hope to
defeat him in the Senate it | fail there
| am quite sure thac we will be able to
| defeat him before the House committee.
and have no doubt about being able to
defeat the bill in the House if it ever
gets that far.
The fight has handicapped me in very
many ways, and has taken up much of
my time, which could have been profit
ably employed for the benefit Of the ter
ritory in various directions sincerely
trust that we may all so act as to ab-
solute!y bury this question before We let
go OF it now.
Governor Stevenson is here and is
doing most excellent work, He devotes
his entire time to exploiting the situa-
tion as it is, to the members and Senators
and the fact that We work in perfect
harmony, he being democratic governor
and | republican dele -atc, has mos,
excellent effect.
The people who have helped to build
up Idaho, and are proud of her growth
and development, and who wish to keep
her intact until We can build up a state
from the rich elements which are there,
cannot give him too much praise for the
unselfsh zeal and fair and broad stand
which he has taken on this question
He certainly has made my fight much
lighter and is entitled to, and has my
warmest commepdation.

Members of the republican territorial
central committee met at Boise City last
week in obedience to call made by ii.
NJ. Bennett, chairman of the committee,
for the purpose of taking steps in opposi-
ton to the annexation of any part Of
Idaho to Washington or to Nevada.
This was the avowed purpose for which
the meeting was called, but, strange as
it may seem, VIC cannot find, on looking
over the proceedings of the committee as
published in the Statesman of the 29th
ult., any allusion to either Washington
or Nevada. Nothing was said about an-
nexation to either Washington or Nevada
and no resolutions whatever appear to
have been adopted in reference to the
matter. The silence of the committee
on the subject Of segregation and au-
nexation leaves our delegate in an en-
barrasing situation, the very object for
which the meeting of the committee was
called having been entirely overlooked,
or purposely disregarded. There were
several members present from North
idaho, who probably reminded the mem
bers of the Soulh that the people,
through their delegates to the territorial
convention, some three years since
pledged themselves to give their assent
to the annexation of North Idaho to
Washington when the latter should be
ready to enter the sisterhood Of states
In view of these facts the members are
excusable for saying nothing about the
pan handle, but why should they have
"corked up" on the annexation tc
Nevada? Why should they have passed
that scheme so quietly by?-Aualdnche
