 At Baltimore.
IMMENSE THRoNG PRESENT
Many Cardinals and Bishops in the Pro

Sermons by Archbishops Ryan and Ire lea Catholic-The Nation and tue Church Each Has Need of the Other The Con- gress Opens To-Day.
 BALTIMORE, Nov. 11.-"A century closes, century opens." A hundred years have come and gone since first a Bishop of the Cath ollie Church was given to America. A century of time las been added to the past since the creation of the See of Baltimore, and the centenary of the event was celebrated yesterday in manner betitting the occasion
 The old Cathedral that crowns tn a Charles strcet hill had within its walls an assemblage most notable, and around its iron picket fence on Charles, Null berry, Cathedral and Franklin streets people thronged in thousands, watching. many with pride and all with interest, the procession of priests and bishops, and fingered long after the chant of tn @ semlnarians announced that the service had begun.
 Admission to the church could be gained only by the tender of a card of invitation. Every available bit of space within was utilized. yet thousands of people, visitors, as well as Baltimore ans, had to be shut out.
 The gathering of prelates embraced two ciru inalS, seventeen archbishops and seventy-five bishops. The Pope was represented in tho person of Arch bishop Satolli of Le Panto: Canada by Cardinal Taschereau, Mexico by Bishop Montes d'Cca and E. Antequara Gillow: England by Bishop John Virtue, of

At the foot of the grave is small mar Die foot-stone with the letter ''N H. L., engraved upon it. Surrounding this grave are the graves ot seven other persons, but there are no stones or monuments to | identify the occupants of any of them, and all are sadly neglected. The deserted spot IS but short distance from the highway but 1t IS so situated that it can be reached only by crossing cultivated fields. With the proper efforts the place might be made very attractive, however, and there is some talk among the people here of beautifying 1t and erecting more costly stone over tho Lincoln grave. The place is seldom visited by strangers and rarely by the people liv- ing hereabouts.
 Not more than two hundred yards north of the grave is the spot upon which stood the house in which lived President Lincoln while ayoung man. It was made of logs, of course, and was situated on a small rise of clayish looking ground. Not a vestige of the old structure remains
 The writer frequently visited the house before 1t succumbed to the ravages of time and the elements, as his uncle lived on and cultivated for years that which has passed into history as the Lincoln farm Just back of the spot where the house used to stand runs the Cannellton Branch of the road.
 Time has nearly obliterated all traces of the Lincolns here, save the lonely grave in the deserted wood.
 Lincoln City is so named because it is situated on the site of the old homestead 1t had population of about two dozen fam flies and is the junction of the Evansville, Cannellton and ROckport division of the Louisville, Evansville & St. Louis railroad. Some Eastern capitalists a few years ago made an attempt to boom the place, but, de- spite the magnetism of the name, the boom was not successful, and it is very doubtful if the place ever grows in population, as the land surrounding it is of very poor quality.
 Some of the old inhabitants of this vicin- lty tell how, in 1S44, when Lincoln was an elector- at-large on the ticket with Henry Clay, he visited the home of his boyhood, squared his back up against the old stone school-house and talked to his old friends and neighbors.

KUNZB TO CONFESS.
He Will Help to Convict
 Coughlin.
TO TAKE THE WITNESS STAND.
It is Thought the Big Detective Will
 Weaken.

A New Sensation in tho Cronin Trial perate Chance to Escape the Gallows-
 Another Nall In the Collins of Burke, Coughlin and O'Sullivan.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-John Kunze, the little German defendant in the Cronin murder case, will confess all. Several prominent Germans here, being solicit ous for the fair fame of their race, and seeing that the evidence showed Kunze to have fallen among thieves and mur- derers, visited him in jail. They asked him to tell all he knew of the conspir- ators. The young man told the com mittee to call again and he would make a clean breast Yesterday afternoon the Germans and tho prisoner had a long conference, and while they admit ted nothing, neither did they deny that Kunze had confessed. However, the prisoner talked very earnestly to his countrymen, and what he told will come into the States Attorneys possession before it is publicly known.
 It is not thought that kunZe knew of the murder plot. He was certainly a conspirator, though perhaps uncon- sciously, and knew not in what direc.. tion his blind obedience to Dan Cough lin's orders were tending. However, Kunze knew enough of Coughlin's ac- tions prior to May to put the halter about the big detective's neck, irrespec- tive of the strong case the State has already made out against him. He saw Coughlin, Burke, O'Sullivan and Cooney together many times, and his informa- tion will doubtless be known to Longe- necker tomorrow. Coughlin is a coward, and it is reasoned that he will, when confronted with these new and conclu- sive evidences of his guilt, break down and make full and complete confes- sion duplicating Alexander Sullivan.
 The State is willing to sacrifice any thing in the present case for tho sake of securing conclusive proof of the arch conspirators, and is willing to sacrifice not one iota of it's present strong case unless this can be accomplished. Kunze will squeal on Coughlin and thus es- cape term of imprisonment. Cough lin will then squeal on Alexander Sul- livan for the sake of exchanging the gallows for long term of imprison- ment. It is now considered not improb- able that Alexander Sullivan wi take the stand for the defense, not to aid the prisoners, but to assert the honesty of his own position.
 Sullivan will certainly testify if he can have the assurance that certain questions concerning the misappropria- tion of funds will not be asked. That assurance given he would pose as a much injured man, willing to openly as- sist the accused. If he escaped the eX- animation unscathed he could assert that he had dared his accusers and tn ey had done nothing.

A Teil-Tale Piece of Carpet Fish ed Out
 of the Sewer.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The police fshed out of Lake View sower piece of carpet about eighteen inches square, and believed to be part of that which covered the floor of the Carlson cottage the night Dr. Cronin was murdered.
 It was found one block south of the manhole into which pr. Cronin's clothes and surgical instruments wore thrown, and two blocks south of where the trunk was found. There were no signs of blood on it as far as could be deter- mined. States Attorney Longenecker and his assistants consider the discov- cry an important one.
 Dr. Cronin's shoes and watch are still missing. The watch was, it is thought, kept by the murderers. and disposed of for money, but the shoes were un- doubtedly placed in some manhole The search will be taken up to-day.

SALISBURY'S SPEECH.
He Says the Irish Question VIII Probabl,
 Soon Be Settled.

Soon Be Settled.
 LONDON, Nov. 11.-At meeting in Guildhall Lord Salisbury delivered an address in which he congratulated the country upon the splendid expansion of its trades. The disputes between labor and capital, he said, were regretful, and he warned the labor agitators that they endertook grave responsibility.
 He was glad to be able to affirm that Ireland was progressing. Prosperity was increasing in that country, disorder was vanishing, and there was every pros pect of permanent settlement of the burning questions between the two countries. No member of the Govern ment indulged in wild theories of home rule, but were ready with practical policy which would satisfy the country.
 Referring to Egypt, Lord Salisbury said that the policy of tho Government remained unchanged, and it would en- able that country to protect herself against all attack, which at present she was unable to do without British assist ance.
 The difficulties in Europe, he declared, appeared to be tending toward peace full solution. All the great powers are desirous of avoiding conflict
 Speaking of labor matters, Lord Sails bury said that employers and everybodv
 
 remember that caution was necessary. as any imprudence might jeopardize great interests.
 Lord Salisbury declared 1t was the widest legend that tho Government had the faintest intention to alter it's Irish policy,
 Regarding Africa he said that tho affairs of that country were more inter- esting now than European matters. England was not behind other nations in their generous rivalry to promote the civilization of Africa.
 The antl-slavery congress at Brussels would form an epoch marking the great progress ot European opinion on that subject He expressed obligations to the Sultan of Zanzibar for the latter's deoree relating to the freedom of his subjects.
 Mir. Balfour also spoke. After eulo- gizing MT. w. H. Smith, the Govern ment leader in Parliament, he confined his remarks to the development of the House of Commons,
