ANARCHISTS NOT RECOGNIZED.

A Noisy Spaniard Excluded From the So
cIalist workmen's Congress.
At Tuesdays meeting of the international
| socialist workmens congress at Brussels a COM
mittee reported in favor Of pledging workmen
Of all countries not to support a candidate for
public position unless the candidate an
nounces himself as being prepared to advocate
reforms for the benefit of labor and the pro-
tective legislation demanded by workingmen.
During the course of the day Erlino, an
italian anarchist delegate, was arrested by the
Belgian police on the ground that he had pre-
viously been expelled from Belgium.
Sanial Of New York and Knudson Of Ger
many were shortly after the proceedings
opened elected presidents Of the congress for
the day. Sanial made quite stirring address.
He dwelt upon the increasing part which the
United Statesplayed in the economy Of nations.
and said that in the United States the stipend
sum of $40, 000, 900 900 annually was actually
stolen from the hands OF those who produced
them. "Amid all that wealth." he continued,
''misery increases so fast that the land of the
brave and the home OF the free is in reality .

Sandals speech was most vigorously ap-
plauded.
After seventeen additional French delegates
had been admitted to the congress, an up
roarious discussion arose over the arrival OF
Ramos, a Spanish delegate, who declared, with
much pride and enthusiasm, that he repre-
sented fifty-fve anarchist associations having
their headquarters in Barcelona. The other
Spanish representatives. present opposed his
admission to the congress. A warmly worded
warfare followed this opposition on the part Of
the compatriots Of Ramos. The latter's oppo-
nents vehementiy announced, that they based
their opposition to his admission upon the fact
that Ramos represented associations which
were always opposed tooth and nail to all en-
deavors to obtain legislation Of q nature to
remedy the wrongs they complained Of.
Finally Rames was refused admission.

He Has Been Made Coadtutor to Archbishop
Salpointe in New Mexico.
Rev. DR.. Chapelle, who has been for a num-
Der of years past the pastor of st. Matthews
Church in this city, received telegram last
night from Cardinal Gibbons informing him
that he had been appointed coadjutor to Arch
bishop Salpointe at Santa Fe, N. NJ. This pro-
motion comes from the pope at Rome, and Car
dinal Gibbons was only apprised Of the appoint.
ment yesterday. For nearly year past it has
been expected here that the appointment would
be made, and The STAR stated last September
that the election would probably be held about
that time and the name Of DR.. Chapelle sub
mitted to the pope. Action was delayed, how
ever, though the appointment was practically
foregone conclusion. For this reason the
members Of st. Matthew's parish, by whom DR..
Chapelle is greatly beloved from his long and
faithful ministry, have become somewhat rec
onciled to his removal from here to larger
and more responsible field of duty. They are
proud OF his promotion, though they all feel
that his departure will mean their own per-
sonal loss
As coadjutor to Archbishop Salpointe DR..
Chapelie will, in the natural course of events,
De the successor to the archbishopric. He said
last night that he would accept the appoint
ment, OF course, though he would be very sorry

he Old not know when he would enter upon his
new duties nor who would be his successor
here. The latter point rests entirely with the
cardinal.
DIR. CHApELLE's LIFE WORK.
DR.. Chapelle was born in the diocese Of
Mende, in the south of France, in 1842. He
studied classics in a college conducted by the
priests OF Piepus in the city of Mende, and
concluded his classical course in Belgium. An

nary, Baltimore, where he studied philosophy
and theology. Father Chapelle being too
young for ordination at the end of his course
at st. Mary's, taught for two years at St.
Georges College. He was ordained to tine
priesthood in 1865. His first mission was in
Montgomery county. Nd While faithfully at
tending to the wants of the mission there,
rather Chapeiie was an arduous student. In
1869 ne was proposed for the degree of doctor
OF divinity and passed his examination
at st. Mary's Seminary with great credit. That
year he went to France on a visit to his family
and returning to Baltimore in 1870 was APP
pointed assistant to the late Father McAIanus
at st. Johns Church, where he acquired high
reputation as pulpit orator. Later Father
Chapelle was made pastor of st. Joseph 9
Church, Baltimore, and when Father Francis
Boyle, pastor Of st. Matthews in this city, died
Father Chapelle was sent to that charge, where
he has since remained. For many years Father
Chapelle was president of tho theological con-
terences OF clergy in Baltimore city, and when
Rev. Jeremiah OSulivan was nominated bishop
OF Mobile he succeeded him president of the
theological conference in Washington. Father
Chapelle is prominent member Of tho board
