TROUBLE AT ST.. sTANIsLAUa
Polish Catholics Take A Advantage OF Fathel
Miskiewicz's Absence.

Polish Catholics Take Advantage OF Father
Miskiewicz's Absence.
The Polish congregation of st. Stanislaus
Church, on South Fifteenth street, is once
more excited. Last week Rev. Father Mis-
kiewicz, the pastor of the church, left for a
trip to Europe, and his going caused
some OF the factions in the church
to kick up muss. Bishop
Phelan filed Father Miskiewicz's place
with young man who is professor in q
Detroit seminary, who read his first mass
yesterday. Several members of the congre-
CATION called on the new priest yesterday
and demanded from him the books showing
the financial condition of the, church.
Rev. Father Miskiewizy, before leav-
ing, had anticipated such move,
and he left the books so that they could be
openly inspected by any member of the
church. These books we're turned over to
the members, who demanded them. A
meeting was held in the basement of the
priests residence yesterday afternoon, which
was quite stormy, but just what it was
about could not be learned.
The members became quite excited and
officers had finally to be sent for. Captain
Stewart and Detective Corrigan visited the
place and drove off those who were wrang-
ling on the outside.
The new priest says that he will stand no
trouble from the congregation, and ii they
get to quarreling he will shut up the church
and 60 back to Detroit. Bishop Phelan
will again be called on to settle the trouble.

the Senate replied:
Why, certainly, 1t fs true that for obvious
reasons no Congressman can serve As Chair
man Of the National Committee. That Is
palpaoie; susceptible to the argument The
eleventh and fourteenth sections of the civil
service law are so broad and explicit on this
subjects as to leave no room for doubt or caviL
secCon II OF that law provides that no Sena-
tor.or representatives, or territorial delegate
OF Congress, or Senator. Representative or
deiesate.elect, or any officer or employo OF
either ofsafd Houses and no executive, ju,
d1c1al military or naval officer of the United
states, and no clerk or employe of any de-
partment, branch or bureau of the e1ecu-
tive, judicial, or military, or naval service
Oh Oh tne United States, shall, directly directly
or be in any manner concerned
In soliciting or receiving any assessment,
SUBSCRIPTION, or contribution for any polit-
leal purpose whatever from any omcer,
clerk, or employe of the United States. or
any department, branch, or bureau thereon
or from any person receiving any salary or
compensation from moneys derived from
the treasury OF the United States.
In addition to that comprehensive prohi-
D1tion 1t is provided. in Section a, that no
omcer. clerk or other person in the service
or the United States shall, directly or indi-
Ger, clerk or person in the service of the
united States, or to any Senator or members
OF the House of Representatives, or terrific
rial delegate, any money or other valuable
promotion Of any political object whatever.
'It is quite certain" the Senator added,
'that the National Committee Chairman
ship will be filled BY the appointment OF
somebody who is not in any way connected
with the Government service"
or course this broad application of the
law had not been conceived when Senator
Quay was at the head of the National Com
mittee.

WASHINGTON, July 10-[Specias The
matter of selection of chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee continues to
be one of serious consideration by the lead
ers of the party, and its discussion among
members of Congress has led to the import
ant conclusion that all members of Congress
are ineligible to appointment-that no Sem
ator or Representative could serve as chair
man of the National Committee. This con-
clusion> grew out of the discussion occas-
ioned by the fact that. several prominent
Senators had been suggested as appropriate
for appointment to the vacant chairman
ship. These included Senator Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, Senator Proctor, of Ver-
mont, and Senator Sayer, Of Wisconsin.

every man of them would be looked up as
breakers of the peace and further proceed
ings instituted if necessary. The reason
given for this statement was that the pres.
ence Of the Pinkertons in this city would
be offensive to the majority of the people
in the city and might precipitate riot
within the city limits
Mr.. Frick, after some discussion, prom
ised the officials that he would not, for
the present, introduce any more Pinkerton
men 1t Homestead and that therefore the
wishes of the officials would be respected.
He stated further that he had no quarrel
with the Homestead strikers He had
simply discharged them and there was no
further communication between them and
the company.
