THE CLAS-NA-GAEL.
A PronunciamentO of the Catholic
Church Against 1t Probable.

BALTIMORE, MD., June 19.-It is given out
from a source that has always been regarded
as very close to Archbishop Gibbons that the
developments concerning the Clan-na-G Gael that
have been brought out by the murder of DIR.
Cronin in Chicago will without delay receive
the very serious consideration of the highest
authorities of the Catholic church in the United
States. IL Is matter of record that the church,
a church. is opposed to secret societies. Oc-
casiOnally the holy see has considered it polite
to allow this doctrine or principle to remain in
allegiance, as in the case of the knights of
Labor, who, a couple of years ago, aresult OF
the earnest intercessiOns of Cardinal Gibbons
and other noted ecclesiastics, including Cardi-
nal Manning, of England, received a prima
facie recognition from the vatican. But even
this recognition not promulgated as de-
cree, and to-day in more than one of the Cana
dian provinces the order Is under the bane of
the church, and has for its inveterate opponent
no less parsonage than the Cardinal Tas-
hereau.
But THE IRISH SECRET SOCIETIES
in this country, however, have always occupied
an anomalous position. The Ancient Order of
Hibernians, for instance. has been tolerated in
one diocese and discountenanced in another;
prohibited from attending mass in regalia and
as an order in one church, and recognized with
special services in another. In the case of the
United Brotherhood or Clan-na-Gael, however,
NHlIe ltS existence mas DeGn known ana pas
slyely recognized, there is no record of any
opposition being entertained toward it, or of
Its being denounced in any pulpit of any do
cese In the country. This may have been due
In part to its peculiarly secret character, in
part, perhaps, to the fact that more than one
priest of national and international reputation
has been credited with having his name on its
roll of membership. Be this as it may, il is at
least fact that the recent developments not so
much directly connected with the Cronin
tragedy as with the expose of the Buffalo trial
have drawn attention to the order and laid the
ground work tor serious inquiry as to whether
THE FROSUSCIAMESTO OF THE CHURCH
should not be directed against it. To quote
the words of the chancellor of one of the largest
dioceses of the country, who stands close to the
cardinal and who was summoned to Baltimore
within a few days: The church will await the
developments of the civil authorities in its in
yestlgatiOn of the Cronin conspiracy before it
will take any action. If ii should be developed
that the Clan-na-Gael is in any way responsible
for this deplorable affair, have no doubt but
that such steps will be taken as will warrant
the order being condemned by name by all the
archbishOps of the country. The duty of the
church Is very plain in the matter, and its line
OF action Is clearly marked out by the DEGREES
of the third plenary council"

She Couldn't Find Her Pocket.

From the New York Sun.
1t would seem that women ought to have
guiding strings hanging from their pockets to
assist in discovery when the contents are
needed. How often a poor woman stands scar
let and miserable, hunting for her pocket,
while car conductor stolidly awaits his fare.
The writer saw a variation of this. A con-
ductor wanted change for dollar bill. A girl
rendered a handful OF small money, at the same
time asking to be put of at 18th street. 1t was
then 23d street. The conductor returned the
bill and tho surplus change. The girl stuffed
the bill in her glove and after some hunting
seemed to find her pocket and dropped therein
the coins. At Goth street a sudden wild look
came into her eyes, and she began fumbling
for the pocket again, and unsuccess-
fully. Doubt deepened to anxiety and fear
to horror on her face. Presently she made
cautious move. nickel rolled from
somewhere on to the floor. She got rigid and
were nearing 18th street. She pretended not to
notice it, and she looked more and more miser-
able. You see. she had put the coins through
the placket hole of her dress, and not in her
pocket at all The conductor motioned. A
cent rolled to the floor. The girl would see
conductor shouted, while the car waited:
Eighteenth. madam"
go on" said the girl.
''But this is 18th street." returned the con-
ductor.
Down went dime,
IL don't want to get out" the girl answered,
tears of rage rising in her eyes.
Didn't you say 1Sth?" said he.
81 have changed my mind" the girl an
swered desperately, tear and Scent piece
rolling TO the floor together:
Well, the writer got out at 9th street, and she
hadn't found either her pocket OF the placket
hole yet, and the floor was all over small
change. She may be riding yet.

THE CONSTELLATION ASHORE.
Naval Cadets Disheartened-The Con-
dition Of the Ship Easier this Morning.

NORFOLK, Va, June 19-Lieut Archer of
the .. s. s. Constellation arrived in Norfolk at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and brought the
intelligence that the Constellation had gone
ashore one mile below Cape Henry, just inside
the capes, at O'Clock in the afternoon in a
thick fog. A brisk northeast gale was blowing
IN at the capes at the rate of about 80 miles an
hour when the accident occurred, and the ship
lies broadside to the beach about 800 yards
Archer left on the Baker Salvage Wrecking
company steamer Peed for the Constellation.
Lieut.. Tyler, acting under instructions from
Commodore Brown at the Norfolk navy-yard,
has also chartered the iron tug Norfolk to 60
to the assistance Of the warship The Constel-
lation lies so close in shore, however, and is in
such position that she cannot be hauled off
by boats, but cables and hawsers must be used.
The vicinity where she is ashore is
DECIDEDLY DANGEROUS ONE
and one where many wrecks have taken place.
1t Is always given a.wide berth by mariners,
and, it is thought, the Consultations COM
mander allowed his ship to be carried too near
In shore by the perilous current before recog-
nlzlng the danger of his position, or that his
compasses were out of order. The Constella-
ton had on 100 cadets from the naval academy,
who started from Annapolis last week on their
summer cruise, and a crew of IT'S men. The
cadets are much disheartened, and, as heavy
sea Is now running, much Inconvenience.
Their position is not considered q dangerous
one, as there are a number of people on shore
with the apparatus of the life-saving station
ready to go to render them assistance at a
moments notice.
Her Condition this Morning.
The Constellation is lying easy this morning,
head northeast. The wind abated during the
night to almost a calm. The wrecking schooner
Victoria ]. Reed arrived at $50 this morning,
and now has cables and anchors from the ship
The wrecking tug Rescue, the quartermasters'
steamer General Wool, from Fort Monroe, and
the United States coast survey steamer Blake
are also on the spot. The ship will probably
be foated to-day

Not the Same Iceberg,

NEW YORK, June l9.-Capt. Evans. Of the
steamship Orsino, which arrived at this port
yesterday, does not think that the iceberg.
which he reported as having sighted on Jnne
~ was the same one reported by the steamer
Saale. IL was much higher and larger than
the one described by the Saales officers. Capt.
Evans says that after having safely cleared the
iceberg he examined it carefully through a
glass. On one side appeared what resembled
black paint or iron rust. A huge angle was
cut into the ice wall, as though the bow of a
vessel had rammed it. The dark marks looked
like paint mingled with iron rust from a YES
sells side. In the water at the base was guam
tity OF spars and wreckage Of various sorts.
Whether il came from a steam or sailing vessel
could not be determined The Orsino remained
IN the vicinity for several hours and then re-
stunned her voyage.
