KEEP UP A STRIFE
German Catholics Of the Coun-
try Holding a Convention
in New Jersey.
According to a New York Paper
They Will Approve Cahens-
ley's Scheme.

NEWARK N. j., Sept 27.-The sixth an
nual convention OF the German Catholics
ofthe United States was begun in this city
to-day. The convention will, in point of
Influence as we'll rs of NUM- bers, far exceed
any previous meeting. Not less than 1000
delegates Tom the German Catholic par
ishes of the whole country have already ar
rived here, while every train brings new
additions to the numbers. With the men,
hers of the many German Catholic socie-
ties and with the masses OF Catholic lay
men generally the total number of partici-
pants may safely be placed at from 1000 to
5000 persons. Every territory within the
jurisdiction of the United States is repre-
scented. All the populous cities Of
the Eastern and Middle states, and
especially of the West and North
west have sent their delegates. They are
German Catholic priests aud laymen from
New York, Brooklyn, Boston. Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleye-
land. Chicago. st. Louis, Cincinnati, Mil
waukee and St. Paul. The importance of
the congress from Catholic point of view
may be inferred from the hearty endorse
ment by Catholic prelates. Archbishop
Corrigan will attend and celebrate pontifi-
cal high mass in the Church OF St. Peter.
Archbishop Katzer, OF Milwaukee, has
promised to come. Bishops Messmer, of
Green Bay, Wis; Zardetti, OF st. Cloud.
Mimi; Schweback, Of La Crosse, Wis. !;
Richter, Of Grand Rapids, Mich, and Mgr.
Schroeder, from the Catholic university at
Washington, will surely be here either to-
morrow or Tuesday.
The object of the convention is partly
told in its programme. There are the
usual demonstrative features Of every con-
venton, the parade, the torchlight pro-
cession, the fireworks, the speeches Of well
come, etc. The convention being of
strictly Catholic religious character, masses,
requiems and the rendering Of sacred song
and music are to be added The deeper
significance OF the convention lies in the
speeches wich will be made and in the -reso-
lutions which are to be adopted. It is u1A-
derstood that the subjects Of the various
discourses have been carefully selecte l.,
while the sentiments to be expressed have
undoubtedly received the sanction of the
com petent ecclesiastical authorities
