the greetings of the pope, and the deliber-
ations began. The conference itself was
occupied chiefly with two questions: o.
What measures would be most expedient
in providing for the religious instruction
OF children who are not receiving such
instruction by reason of non-attendance at
Catholic schools? (2) What shall be the
status of secret societies? This latter
question has heretofore been a most veX
ing one, because in one diocese a society
will be tolerated, whereas in another it
would he condemned. Ii was very desra-
BILE, therefore, that uniformity on this
head be secured.
THE result of the deliberations remains,
very naturally. unknown to the public for
the present. The prelates will probably
make the pope aware of the outcome Of
their council at the earliest possible mo-
ment SO that he may pass in final review
upon their proceedings. ANY statement
purporting to have the results of the trans
actions of the board of archbishops is I'M

nuncio at Washington and the assertions
that the Vatican contempiites the send

the United States would circulate SO idle

WlGGER AND CORRIGAN.

NEWARK, n. j., Nov 29.-Bishop Wig
ger of the diocese of Newark has cited
Father Patrick Corrigan, rector of the
church of Our Lady of Grace, in Hoboken,
10 appear before the ecclesiastical court in
Newark on Dec II, fori causing to be
published over his own signature state
ments which the bishop charges to be
false Father Corrigan has been making
vigorous protest against Cahenslyism
and the introduction of foreign ideas into
the management of the church in this
country. He first attacked the German
Catholic conference recently held In New
ark. Some of the priests who took part
in the conference repeiled the attack, and
an animated controversy ensued Bishop
Wigger takes exception to a letter pub
lished by Father COrrigan on Oct. 29, IN
which he SAYS:
''iThe German Catholic congress which
took place in Newark. y. j., not many
weeks ago was composed of laynen, priests
and bishops from all sections Of the land,
and it Claims 10 represent the German
Catholics of the United States. Many

Bishop Wjgger, who rules over an En-
glish-speaking diocese. are of American
birth; and most of them, / presume, are
adopted citizens, and in the full enjoy
ment of a liberty in religion and educa-
tion that was denied them in their native
land. Notwithstanding the claim which
the country has on their allegiance and
the bond of charity that unites all the
Catholics of the world, the animus of the
organization, as express. d in its resolu
tions and its speeches, was that OF actual
hostility to the country and fierce denun
citation of the most distinguished prelai es
of the Catholic church of America. So
violent were the resolutions and speeches
that the New York Catholic News did not
dare print them. This spirit is not char
acteristic of American citizens, much less
of Catholic priests, Under the sanction
and very presence of venerable bishops. |
The country is indeed very forbearing and |
the church most patient, but treason to |

IliMPX Jaw CIIRARI E

CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-Lumpy jaw, In a
mild form at least, is durable, and is not
dangerously contagious, if at all. This
much was demonstrated by the tests made
today at the stock yards by the represent
atves of the United States bureau of an
imal industry. The tests were conducted
under the supervision of DR.. Salmon.
Eighty head of cattle were brought from
the Riverside distillery to the slaughter
house of Hess Bros. Several were hope
lessly diseased, and tho rest, healthy or
but slightly affected with lumpy jaw, had
been kept with these TO test the theory of
contagion. All had been treated for the
trouble for a length of time varying from
two to three months! At noon thirty had
been slaughtered. OF these not one in the
examination OF the ctrcasses showed the
slightest sign OF the disease, and were
passed upon by the government experts as
absolutely satisfactory. The cattle mildly
afflicted had been cured, while the healthy
cattle had not suffered in the least from
exposure to the coutagion OF the hopeless
cases.

this" remarked DR.. Snorgaar end l.. r.
Baker.
Representing the state of Illinois were
the state veterinarian, DR.. Caswell, and

robbers entered the bank at 3 o'clock. In

Teller Smith. The men stepped up to the
desk, and with drawn revoivers, ordered
Hutchinson and Smith to turn their faces
to the wall. They then took all the money
in sight and started to make their escape

THE CAsS COUNTY BONDS.

KANSAS CITY. Nov. 29-Judge Phillips
| OF tha United States district court today
submitted to the judges of the county
Court of Cass county, Missouri, com
promise proposition for the settlement oi
the county's railroad Indebtedness. The
county in 1864 voted $500, 600 in bonds to
aid in the construction of a railroad that
was never built The bonds fell into the
hands Of innocent purchasers, who OBJ
tanned a Judgment against the county for
their full face value. Judge Phillips Or
dered the county judges to issue "A special
tax levy for the payment of the judgment.
The Judges, submitting to the popular de-
sire, declined to obey the order, and Judge
Phillips ordered them imprisoned for con-
tempt Of court They have been in Jail
here for six months. One of them, Judge
Lane, was elected to the legislature at the
recent election. His term as Judge ex-
pires on Jan. and he will probably be
released from contempt at that time
The proposition submitted by Judge
Phillips to compromise the Indebtedness
provides for the issue of new bonds OF the
value Of 20 per cent. of the face of the old
bonds. The judges will call a special
election at which the question of issuing
the new bonds will be submitted to the
people of the county. If the proposition
carry the judges will be released from con-
tempt. IL it fail they will remain in Jail
until their terms expire
Since 1871 the Cass county bond cases
have occupied much of the time of all the
courts in the lana. From the circuit court
of the county to the supreme court of the
United States the successive courts have
fought the matter, and while defeated in
every instance they have never abandoned
the fight The present judges have gone
to Jail, and their predecessors permitted
themselves to be chased with blood hounds
rather than issue the requisite tax levy to
pay the outstanding railroad bonds which,
while held now by innocent purchasers,
were originally obtained through the
fraud and trickery Of corrupt railroad
officials.

THE SMITH HERESY TRIAL


CINCINNATI, Nov. 29-The entire fore
noon session of the Cincinnati presbytery
was spent in discussion of the efficiency
in form and legal effect of the third charge
and specifications against Professor Henry
=. Smith. Yet. as in nearly all the pre-
ceding discussion, the speakers have wan
dered from form to substance, and have in
effect been treating the case as if it were
before them to decide upon Professor
Smiths guilt or innocence, rather than
upon the merit of the work of the prose
cutting committee in its effort to present
proper charges and specifications.
Speeches on the question We're made BY
Drs. Roberts, Robertson, Leonard and
Ritchie, on behalf of sustaining the work
of the committee, and by Revs. Taylor,
Ackerman and Gilchrist, against.
Dr. Roberts, with the main question
evidently in his mind, said with emphasis
that there was a crisis in the Presbyterian
church of tie gravest nature. There was
an attempt to force the theory OF inspira-
Jion upon tue church.
Professor Smith asked if he meant that
he, if sustained by the presbytery, would
bring charges against those vino did not
agree with him.
DIR. Roberts replied that he referred to
the forcing of the theory by other methods
than a judicial process. The doctor went
on to explain his view of the Inspiration
of the Scriptures, by saying that he did
not believe in verbal inspiration, but in
plenary inspiration.
At the afternoon session the sufficiency
in form and legal effect of the various
charges was susta aimed.
During the debate on the question the
prosecuting committee asked leave to
amend 10y inserting an additional citation
from Professor Smiths pamphlet.
10
pion of Professor Smith, asked the prose-
cutting committee when it had discovered
shis addition Was necessary.
DR.. kibbeu of the committee, with
eone sharpness, asked: What do you
mean by tie question:
Professor MoGitfut retorted: II mean
Just exactly what ! said"
DR.. chlbben-The question is imper-
iinent. ~
Professor McGiffut-Then the commit
tees request is lmpertlneut.
The moderator declared both out of or.
der. Tie amendment WAS defeated, and
then both disputants apologized.
