ANOTHER CARDINAL.
CorrIgan VIII BE Elevated TO Rival Glt

UorrIgan WIN BE Elevated TO Rival Glib
bons.
New YORK, July 1.-The Times pub
fishes the following special correspondence
from Rome:
It is reported here at the PalsEza Of the
Propaganda Fide that Archbishop Corrigan
has been summoned by the Pontia 10
Rome, and that he will arrive here to-
ward the middle or latter part of July.
The right reverend prelste is a persona
gratissima at the Vatican, and | have II on
the highest authority that his name will
be included by the Holy Father among
the next batch Of Cardinals created. DIR.
Corrigsn's elevation to a seat In the
Sacred College will be attributable not 80
much 10 the personal favor Of the Holy
Father az 10 the urgent desire Of the Ouria
TO diminish the predOminance Of Cardinal
Gibbons in the Catholic world of the
United States. Unlike the Archbishope OF
New York, Dr. Gibbons is far from being
popular at the Vatican, and although no
mention WAS made Of 1t at the time in the
American press, yet when in Rome n
couple of years ago with DR.. Taschereau
for the purpose of investure for the purple,
a most marked distinction was made be-
tween the attentions and honOrs lsyished
on the Canadian Cardinal and the treat
ment accorded to His Eminence OF Baltl-
more. The fact is that the latter is too
fond of airing his American citizenship
and indepence TO suit the ideas which pre-
vail at the Vatican. He is too openly
patriotic to remember that in the case Of
the clergy, at any rate, it is required that
the welfare of the Church should be en-
titled to higher consideration than that OF
the nationality to which they may belong.
OPPOSING THE POPE's SCHEME.
The latter's patriotism has recently
taken the form Of a latent If not public
support of the opposition to the appoint
ment Of foreign theologians TO the proies-
sorship Of the new Catholic University at
Washington. This attitude on the part OF
the Cardinal in the matter has given deep
offense at the Vatican, where the utmost
importance is attached to the professorship
in question being held by French, Italian
and German divines.

NEW STYLES IN STAMPS.

SIR. Wanamaker VIII Cha nge the COlOrs
and Probably the Size.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-As Mr.. Wana-
maker always sought to display his wares
attractively in Philsdelphia-the smallest
as well as the largest-he proposes to sig
nalize his term of service at Washington
by giving us some sweet things in postage
stamps and at the same time leave a
wider margin of profit for Uncle Sam. The
Postmaster General invites bids for two
sizes of stamps, either of which may be
adopted, but he has q preference for a
postage stamp smaller than tnat now in
use, on the score of both convenience and
economy. The new two-cent stamp will
be either carmine or metallic red in color.

MARRIED In FUN.
A Prominent Kentucky Couple Find a
Mock Ceremony Legal.

Mock Ceremony Legal.
LOUISVILLE, KY, July 1.-Mr. j..
Fletcher Marcum, of Cattlesburg, and
Miss Laura Duke Smith, of Lexington,
attended a social gathering in Ashland
one evening this week, and a young min
lister and the County Clerk were among
the guests. After awhile some one sug-
gested a mock marriage, and Mr.. Marcum
and Miss Smith volunt 1ered to be the
bride and bridegroom. The County Clerk
was appealed TO and made out the license
and the minister performed the ceremony.
Nothing more was thought of the affair
until Yesterday, when it was mentioned to
a lawyer, who declared that the marriage
was a legal one. This view is accepted as
correct and the make-believe bride and
bridegroom are intensely distressed.
To add to the complication, Mr. Marcum
was engaged to an estimable young lady
of Ashland. The courts will have to be
appealed TO for relief.
Mr.. Marcum is editor of the Catlettsburg
Democrat, and Miss Smith, or Mrs. Mar
cum, is the daughter Of Gen. Greene Clay
Smith, one of the best-known men in Ken
tucky. In the convention which NOM
mated Andrew johnson for Vice President
he came within half vote Of defeating
johnson. He was afterwards elected to
Congress, rose to be Brigadier General
in the Union army, was afterwards Terri
torial Governor OF Arizona, is now Baptist
preacher, and eight years ago was the Pro-
hibition candidate for President.

Particulars Of the Hsytien Outrage on IN
American Vessel.
NEW YORK, July IAN evening
paper gives the following as the result oi
an interview with Capt. Rockwell, of the
American vessel seized by the Hsytiers.
The Ozsma left this city on June 2,
bound for GOnsives, Hsyti. She carried a
cargo of provisions, but no arms or am
munition of any kind. On the morning OF
June 8, when the 0zsms was about thirty
TIVE miles from Gonaive, three Haytien
gunboats were discovered rapidly approach
ing. Captain Rockwell, not wishing TO be
delayed by any of the whims to which the
Haytien war vessels are constantly sub
jecting American vessels, piled on steam
and forged ahead as fast as he could. The
gun boats he soon made out TO be some Of
Legitime's ships. They were the Defense,
the MarseiIles and the Tousssnt Lover
ture.
The Ozama had not gone far when sud
denly from the long gun on the bow OF the
Defense came a flash and cannon ball
whizzed across the bow OF the 0zsms.
That settled matters, and Captain Rock
well hove to.
Captain Rockwell could make no resist
snce and the boat was taken to Port-su-
Prince. There Captain Rockwell COM
planned to Minister Thompson, who
wrote note to the Hsytien
Government, inquiring why the Ozs-
ma was detained. No attention was
paid to it. The next day the 0ssipse,
commanded by Captain Kellogg, sailed
into the hsrbor, and Captain Rockwell
Immediately stated the case to him. Cap
tain Kellogg Immediately informed the
Haytien authorities that he would give
them until 3 o'clock to release the Ozsms,
and about noon the release was formally
made
