TEN YEARS A BISHOP.
Rev. Courtlandt Whitehead Celebrates the
Tenth Anniversary OF His Work.

The tenth anniversary Of Bishop White
head as Bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburg
was celebrated in Trinity Church yesterday
morning Services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Arundel, rector of the church. Many
ministers were present from all parts of the
diocese, including Bishop Whitaker, of
Philadelphia, who was present at the conse-
Grafton. Bishop Whitehead made the fol-
lowing address: take comfort in the con-
sciousness of ties of love and friendship ever
growing stronger, knitting our hearts more
and more to each other and to God.
l would not forget ere we pass on to other
matters, the names and faces of many tax
ing part in that service, especially the hon
ored Bishop of Pennsylvania (Stevens), who
presided on that occasion. OF the clergy
some have passed away, and very many be-
longing to the diocese have removed to
other fields of work, one of them, as we are
not iail to make cordial RECOGNITION of in
Vulnerable kindnesses from clergy and
laity and of hospitality which enables me
to count my homes by hundreds in every
quarter of the diocese.
In all this we unite to-day to bear witness
before the world to that which our American
name proclaims, viz, that the diocese is the
unit and the Bishop the expires ssion and CEN
ter Of unity, and that we value the Episco-
pate not because of the individual occupant
of the Office itself.
After the services the clergy present ad-
journed to the Seventh Avenue Hotel where
a sumptuous repaSt waited them. Rev Mr..
Grange acted as toast-master and speeches
were made by Bishop Whitaker. Rev. Mr..
Arundel, Rev. DR.. Purdon, of Titusville;
Coster. of Grace Church; Rev. Mr.. Israel of
Meadvillo; Rev. Mr.. Bragdon and Rev. j.
Crocker White, of this city; Rev. Mr. Heron,
OF New Castle, and Rev. George Hodges.

NO CREDIT TO ANYONE.

We notice with pain that our esteemed
contemporaries of the New York press are
getting into dispute whether the cross
fire between Ingersoll and Breckenridge
at the Glover Club dinner was to the ad-
vantage of the counsel or the Congress
man, or indeed whether there was any de-
bate or not. The wide divergence of be-
lief on this point warrants the statement
that there was no debate, but an unseemly
wrangle; that no one got the better of it
and that both appeared to the worst pos
sible advantage.
There may be room for dispute as to the
details of the occurrence, but it is evident
on the surface that man who could take
an occasion like that to introduce a con-
troversial topic and enlarge upon it dis
plays so little conception of the fitness of
things as to require guardian more
urgently than IN that ill-timed Gresham
speech at the Chicago Convention.
Hardly second to him in lack of sense of
the appropriateness of time and place is
the man who could give such a speech
any other treatment than that of passing
it by in silence. Finally, the Clover Club
method of suppressing malapropos or
tedious orators-although its use in this
case is disputed issue of fact-would
emphasize the ncongruity and inappro-
priateness of the whole affair
The most cogent conclusion possible is
the example of the distressing contretemps
which may occur when that organization,
for purposes cf obvious joviality and
humorous bad manners, is so far misled as
to take itself seriously.

THE VATICAN AND THE aU1RINAL.
Austria Proposes a Basis for q Better Un-
derstandins at Rome

derstandins at Rome.
ROME, Jan. 26.-It is learned from Vatican
sources that q few days ago Cardinal Sera-
flni Vanputelh had long and grave inter.
view with the Pope on the subject of re-
conciliation between the Holy See and Italy.
The interview was prompted by the En-
peror of Austria, who is personally inter
ested in the matter. The recent speech Of
Count Kalnoky was the starting point of
diplomatic action to secure this reconcilia-
tion.
Austria, it is understood, asks Of the Pope
the participation of Catholics in the Italian
Parliamentary elections, and modification
OF the present favorable attitude OF the
Holy See toward France. In return for this
Austria wants Italy to change her inimical
attitude toward the Vatican TO one of more
friendly character. and put an end TO the
religious persecution of the Catholics. Aus
tria has a triple end in view: To save the
Triple Alliance from discredit in the Catho-
lie world; to prevent the Vatican going over
to the side of France, and to Srrest the radi-
cal movement in Italy, which might in time
threaten the position Of the monarchy.
The italian court and Governments have
signified their approval of the approach
ment on the lines laid down. King Hum
bert and the italian Ministers, however, in
sist that the Catholics shall first open the
way to satisfactory arrangement by par
ticipation at the polls.
The interview with the Pope lasted an
hour and a half The Pope promised to con-
slider the proposed arrangement. Doubtless
he will wait with a view to discovering the
reason of these overtures. 1t is already
known that Austria, supported by Germany,
will endeavor to bring about the election OF
Cardinal Serafini Vannutelli as successor
to the pontifical throne, while NJ Galam-
bert1 would be his Secretary of State. 1t is
believed in Vatican circles that the Pope,
while accepting all promises and conces-
sions, will not yield to the demands of Aus
tra and Italy but will continue to maintain
his attitude Of reserve, awaiting more favor
able times.

PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY
UNpIGNIFIED HASTE

The speech which Mr. Breckenridge
made in moving his resolution in the
House yesterday is remarkable for the
dignity of its language, its bipartisan tone,
and the wisdom of its calm moderation.
The little he says in criticism of the Presi-
dents action, or rather his refusal to criti-
else it, IN sending the message to Congress
when it was generally believed that a
pacific communication was at that time on
its way from Chile, is indicative of the
strength of language that would have
been necessary under such circumstances
to convey the feeling of those who hold
the National honor dear.
In the light of the latest news there can
be no doubt that the President was well
aware of the humble attitude which Chile
had already assumed when he sent his
belicose address to Congress. 1t is cred
liable to the Southern Republic that it has
consented to take up its present position
in spite of the provocation received by
such treatment at our hands. 1t is con-
cluSively proven that delay has been
caused simply by the constitutional pro-
ceedingS of the Chilean law courts; and
that we, the immense, should have brow
beaten Chile, the minute, into an uncon-
ditional surrender to our demands is not
at all complimentary to our Administra-
ton or fair TO the Nation.
The abject submission implied by the
action Chile has now taken, together
with the past expressions OF regret, is evil
dence that there was no inclination to
evade or refuse our demands Our ends
would have been better served by a more
deliberate method of procedure, and we
shall gain nothing in the judgment of the
world by having played the staggering

Ben B4tler Talks for the Anarchists.

The spectators who were debarred from
General Benjamin F. Buffers closing argu-
msnt for the imprisoned Anarchists, Fielden
and schwab, in the United States Supreme
Court on FRIDAY last, owing to the aajourn-
ment OF court out of respect to the memory
of the latf Justice Bradley, were present in
the Supreme Court chamber to-day, when
General Butler began the closing argument
in the anarchistic cases. The better part of
his ARGUMENT was on the lines laid down by
Mr.. Saiornon, who opened the case for the
Anarchists. The General dwe1t, however,
upon the effect the treaties had upon the
rights of the men TO have the whole case re-
viewed by the United States Supreme Court,
and in this respect his talk was on new
ground. tor Mr.. Salomon passed over this
phase off the case very lightly last week,
leaving fts treatment to his leader. General
Butler admitted that his clients. because
they we're foreign subjects, had not greater
rights than Americans, exceptSthat that
fact, unGer the reaties. gave them q right
to havel the case passed upon by the United
States Eonrts, and in this way there was
created Federal jurisdiction over all the
doingS of the State courts, including the
right 10 go behind the record of the State
Supreme Court, which showed that the men
were DOT present when JUDGMENT was pro-
nounced-when, in fact, they were not
bodily present. He argued that in this way
the Question WAS presented for review here,
wheHher or not the absence of the men con-
stitRted q violation of that due process of
law}guaranteed by the Constitution.

No PosTPoNEMENT WANTED.

The action of Common Council yester-
day in pOstponing a measure which it was
intimated might be factor in the city
elections until after the February election,
does not strike the mind as an ideal way
of reassuring the public concerning the
independence of Councilmen.
What is needed TO put the members of
+hat body in strong position before the
0ple is an exhibition of readiness on
-. T part to deal with all questions as they
come up solely in the interest of the peo-
pie and under the guidance of wise
economy. To postpone question until
the rocks and shoals of the municipal
election are safely passed conveys an init
nation that after election the popular ap-
pr0val or diSapproval may not be the con-
trolling criterion.
With regard TO the measure postponed
we do not think it contains anything in
lUrOus. But there are other questions
soon 20 come up on which the people have
the right TO clear and unmlstakable
definition of the position Of each Council
man. The question whether the appno-
priation ordinance will keep down not the
mlliage, but the total amount of revenue
raised by taxation to its present generous
proportions, is one on which the public
have the right to full information 1t is
public right to have the ordinance reported
toCOuncls and the position clearly defined
before the election takes place. If the
members of Councils do not take care to
define themselves On this point even more
luton passed by Common Councils Mon
day, the voters viii be justified in regard
ing their position as unsatisfactory.
What is wanted in the present iuncture
IS distinct evidence that the total levy by
taxation for the coming year will not ex-
ceed that of last wear.

One Way of Squeezing in q Bill to Annul
the McKinley Act.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 26-The food of
Chilean news yesterday caused to be over
looked very significant amendment to the
new. code of House rules, offered by Mr..
Breckinridge, of Kentucky. 1t appears in
to-day's Record and reads as follows: PRO
vided further that whenever any general
appropriation bill is under consideration 1t
shall be in order to move as an amendment
any amendment reducing taxation or pro-
viding out of what fund or tax such fund
shall be paid" This proviso Mr.. Breckin-
ridge proposed to add to the Holman rule,
whose adoption was recommended by the
Rules Committee, permitting riders or legts-
lation on appropriation bills when in the in
terest of retrenchment If enacted, it
woold enable complete tariff bill to be
appended to any appropriation bill under
consideration in the House. The Signih-
cance of 1t is readily seen. Members of the
Ways and Means Committee who are in
favor of attacking the Nc Kinley tariff act
by separate bills were afraid that 1t 1ndi-
Gated a purpose to take the revision of the
tariff out of their hands and propose gen
tieth Congress. The Democratic members
OF the committee are at present divided on
the subject of the best method OF attacking
the tariff. and the new and the old members
of the committee have not yet been able TO
get together on the question, Mr.. Springer
and his friends fayorfng separate bills, and
the members OF the committee when Mr.
Mills was Chairman, namely Messrs. McMil-
lin, Wilson and Turner, favoring general
revision in one comprehensive measure.
Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, when seen
this afternoon, said his resolution did not
con ntemplate any move against the Chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee. He
said he did not believe in legislation on ap-
priation bills, but was in favor of keeping
appropriation bills confined to Government
expenditures strictly. At the same time, IL
there was going to be any such rule adopted
as the old Holman rider Of the Forty-eighth
Congress- he wanted to add to it a rule rela-
tive to taxation. He said be wanted to keep
any single tariff bill or any general tariff bill
from being pocketed in the Senate. and IL the
House sent the Senate a lot OF single shots at
the tariff law (which he personally did not
favor, being himself q believer in keeping
faith by general revision), he wanted to
put the rules in such shape that the Senate
not be permitted to pocket them in COM
mittee.

MRS BEEcHzR's WORD 1MpBAcHED.
Members of Her Husbands Old Flock Deny
Several Magazine Assertions


INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. s6.-In a recent maga-
zine article Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher re-
calls some experiences which she and her
husband had in Indianapolis in the forties,
when the latter was pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church. These "reminiscences
are declared to be erroneous by many men,
bers of the present congregation, some Of
whom were members of Mr.. Beecher's con-
gregation. Mrs. BeecEer said her husband
received but $500 a year salary, 500 of which
was reserved to pay for their home. The
fact is that Mr.. Beecher received $1,000 a.
year, $500 of which was reserved to pay -or
two houses which he bought.
Mrs. Beecher also said Mr. Beecher was as
sured the city was healthy, but that it was
not. The trustees assert that their prede-
cessors could not have received such i'm
pressions without falsehood. These facts
were communicated to Mrs. Beecher and she
WAS earnestly requested to make public
correction. Not only has the latter been un-
answered, but i'll a subsequent article she
reiterated the statements.

secret. 1t originated in the East and worked
