1--WE CENTENNIAL PEOPLE"
Mr. Stuyvcsant Fish's Threat An
swcreh BY tinYcrnnr Green.

NEW York, April 27.-[Special Telegram
10 lHE BEE. 1--WE centennial people, is the
latest This is the term by which Mr.. Stuy-
vesant Fish distinguished himself and his
associates. 1t appears in a letter TO MIR.
Simms, OF Philadelphia, who has charge of
the presidential transportation arrangements
in that city. The epistie is dated April Is,
and reads about as follows:
THE presidential party must leave Gov
ernor Green's house, at Elizabeth, by 0
O'Clock Monday morning. If Governor Green
will not guaranty that this will be done, we
centennial people will arrange that the
presidential train shall not stop at Elizabeth
at all. This is intended as a threat to Gov
ernor Green. We do not expect to make
this change in any of our plans and do not
wish to- Us Governor Green will probably
yield"
Several weeks ago Governor Green, of
New Jersey, at the suggestion of "we cen
nial people" arranged 10 receive the presi.
dent at his home IN Elizabeth and to enter
tain him at breakfast. At that time it
was agreed that the presidential party
was to embark at Elzabethport for New
York at II o'clock. Governor Green had ar
ranged to kill time between the arrival of
the president from Washington and his de-
parture for New York by breakfast and
reception to which the most prominent peo-
pie in the state were invited. After all these
arrangements had been made and approved
1t was discovered that the tide was high an
hour earlier than was expected, and that the
party would have to embark sooner than
had been arranged. For some reason or
other it was not deemed necessary TO COM
municate this fact directly to Governor
Green. The latter, however, is a man whose
blood is of the bluest. 1t took him about
four minutes to address Mr.. Fish in substan-
TALLY the following manner:
although this letter was not addressed
to me in the first instance, the fact that
copy is sent in this manner makes it prac-
tically mine. will, therefore, reply that |
would be most happy to accede to any rea-
sonable request, but will not under threat
change my plans for Mr. Stuyvesant Fish or
any other man,

has addressed letter to Admiral Kimberly,
acknowledging the receipt of reports of the
recent Samoan disaster. After expressing
deep sorrow at the appalling loss of life, and
warmly commencing the efforts of the

avert the disaster, he concludes as follows
'In reply to your request and that of Cap
tain Faruuhar for court of inquiry, the
department has to say that it deems such a
court unnecessary. To convene court Of
inquiry under these circumstances would
seem to imply doubt on the part of the de-
partment where no doubt exists, and instead
of ordering an investigation II tenders TO you,
and through you to the officers and men Of
your command, its sympathy for the ex-
posures and hardships you have encountered
and its profound thanks for the fidelity with
which you performed your duty in a crisis Of

Bishop Healy on Religious Freedom.


PORTLAND, Me-, April 27.-Bishop Healy,
in an address to the Catholics of Maine on
the occasion of the centennial of Washing
tons inauguration, says it is fable to at
tribute the establishment of freedom of
conscience to the Puritans, the cavaliers of
Virginia, or the Quakers in Maryland. AS
long as the Catholics had control of the gov
ernment that was the sole colony where
freedom Of conscience and liberty of religion
existed. Let us not be discouraged by the
abuse Of prejudiced men. We have nothing
to concert. We have no conspiracy. We
can not be members of oath-bound secret
societies. While respecting the rights, duties,
opinions and even reasonable prejudIces of
our brethren in citizenship, we claim the
same consideration for ourselves, avowing
without shame or concealment that our
freedom of conscience, our attachment to
God and our religion is our first privilege
and highest duty.

The Atlanta Constitution says the
champion fighting editor of the cOun-
try lives at Albuquerque, N. NJ. As
the story goes, eleven citizens of the
variety known as toughs, came to the
conclusion short time ago that it was
their duty, in the interest of law and
order, and the purity OF the ballot
box, to take the editor out and hang
him.
Now, our Albuquerque journalist
lived alone ia log cabin consisting
of single room with cellar under
meath. His only companion, pet
grizzly, occupied the cellar. On the
night when the editor lad good reason
to expect visit from the reiormers,
be retired to the cellar and left the
upper room TO the grizzly.
At the hour of midnight eleven stall
wart men arrived with II rope. They
battered down the door and rushed In
eager for the fray. They had no light,
but they rushed against theil man, as
they supposed. For an editor, he
showed unusual pluck and strength.
He went for the lynchers with such
activity that the fight was over in five
minutes.
In the gray of early morning three
men turned up in Albuquerque each
with an eve missing. One man called
at the doctors office with foot aud
three fingers off. The remaining seven
reformers were loaing around on the
streets more or less mutilated.
When the alledged facts of the fracas
got out the editor become the most
popular man in the Territory. His
paper is doing booming business,
aud hc can get any office he wants.
lie still keep the grizzly in the cellar
ready for any emergency.
