Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane Differ
Concerning Parkhurst's Methods.
WASHINGTON, May 20. -Communi-
rants of the Catholic church in this
.ity are awaiting with interest further
developments in what promises to be
strained relations between Cardinal
Gibbons and Bishop Keane. president
Of the Roman Catholic university,
growing put of the recent reception to
DIR. Parkhurst. who has come into pub
tic prominence by reason Of his raids
upon the New York dives. The New
York divine was invited here to lecture
by a number of leading citizens, and
invitations to seats on the platform
were extended among others to the
cardinal and bishop Cardinal Gibbons
In response wrote q letter in which
he expressed his regret at his
inability TO be present, but in
liberal language expressed his ap
prevail of the crusade upon which DIR.
Parkhurst has entered. A letter was
also received from Bishop Keane, but
SO far from being in accord with the
cardinal that eminent ecclesiast in.
timated in direct language hat he
would not SIT on the same platform
with DR.. Parkhurst, and otherwise ex.
pressed himself SO strongly that those
in charge of the proceedings refrained
from reading it. Somebody r other
has taken the trouble to convey the
facts to the cardinal. and although il
Is contended On behalf Of the bishop
hat he did not know at the time the
letter was written that the cardinal
had already committed himself with
pen and paper favorable to DR.. Park
bursts crusade, it is nevertheless Ger.
tain that the relations between the
two dignitaries will not be as cordial
for a while as they have been in the

Poison In the Air.

A new poison has been discovered
In the smoke which surrounds factory
towns and cities and the danger from
breathing this is not inconsiderable. A
part of the smoke that goes into the
air from burning coal is arsenious aud
mixed with carbon. Coal differs In
the amoun of impure matter which IL
throws of, but it Is estimated that
one ton of ordinary coal burns of
about twenty TO thirty pounds of sui
phur. This sulphur Is transformed in-
to sixty pounds Of sulphuric acid,
which leaves stains upon all marble
buildings and statuary. Along with
this sulphuric acid a great amount OF
%arsenious acid goes and the two
breathcd into the lungs continually
act as q strong poison. Next to this
active poison the SCOT in the air makes
factory towns unhealthful TO live In.
An examination of the amount of SCOT
which was deposited IN London re-
Gently showed that on an average 1000
tons were deposited over the city ey.
cry ten days. The amount of carbon
aceous and other particles deposited
upon glass houses Is q good Indication
OF what tho atmosphere contains, In
most cities where factories are located
tho glass roofs OF houses and tho win
dowpanes have to DO washed and
swept every few days to keep the root
from blackening them. When all of
this material Is floating around In the
air 1t cannot be- wondered at that weak
and poor health are noticeable among
the inhabitants. Science has yet to
discover mean to collect and hold this
smoke and SCOT a. II comes out Of the
chimneys.-Spdre Moments.

Natural Gas Is Giving Out.

The days of natural gas are num-
bcred. There is surprising unanimity
among the mining engineers on this
point. They agree that more gas car
be found, and that wells may continue
to flow TO some extent, but they say
that experience has proven that the
supply cannot be depended upon for
manufacturing or for heating pur-
poses. The amount of natural gas
reached its maximum two years ago.
1t has fallen off each year since, not
w~ithstanding the large number of new
wells bored. Said a Pittsburg engineer:
"We have had a pretty bad time this
winter in Pittsburg. The flow has
given out repeatedly just at the time,
perhaps, when most needed. People
who had no coal in their houses have
had the gas out on them in some OF
the very coolest weather. Manufact-
urers who depended on gas for fuel
have had to shut down. business has
been %deranged, and home life has
been made miserable. Some people
are still boring wells and trying to
keep up supply by tapping places,
but with only partial success. One
after another the wells give out. When
they cease flowing the only thing to be
done is TO turn the valve and leave
them alone. Sometimes n well will
start up again and flow gas after it has
been idle for some time, but all the
same 10 reach a state of exhaustion
sooner or later. Manufacturers are
going back to coal again, and house,
holders are agreeing that il will not
do TO depend upon natural gas. One
thing has been made certain, the tho
DRY that this manufacture Of gas is go
ing on fast enough to supply the flow
is all wrong. 1t Is a slow process. We
have already bored holes enough to
overtask naturc."-St. Louis Globe

A CORNER IN MAY WHEAT
Six Million Bushels Bought That
Can't Be Delivered.
Armour a. Co. Engineering the peal--
Pardridge, Charlie Wright, and
John Cudahy Are Short for
big Lots.

CHICAGO, May 2I-Board of trade
men have been wondering at the cause
OF the shortage in May wheat. The
price has been going up and specula-
tors giving all sorts Of reasons for the
upward tendency of the cereal. One
of them told a curious story yesterday.
"a half dozen shipping and elevator
firms have 5000, 900 bushels of wheat
bought for May delivery from people
who haven't the property and can't
get it; and Furthermore, there Is no
prospect that the holders of cash wheat
now / n store here will do anything to
relieve the situation" he said. 'In
short, the 5000, 900 bushels over and
above the cash holdings were bought
for the account Of the same people who
have control of the actual grain, and
there is nothing to prevent the sue
cessful consummation of a particu-
larry clever deal.
"rhe speculative long interest Is
lodged in Geddes, Kirkwood 81 Co,
Hately Bros, Irwin, Green e. Co, w.
L. Harvey az Co., Charles Coouseiman
g. Co, George Seaverns Il Co, and pos.
sibly Norton, Worthington Sc Co., and
one or two Others. The firm first
banned Is long /, 500, 900 bushels, which
1t has urgent need for by Tuesday
next, the last day OF May. by which
date all May contracts must be filled.
The amount credited TO the other
houses is indefinite, and ranges from
400, 600 to 500, 600 bushels each. The
gentlemen on the curbstone and in the
pit have Partridge, Charlie Wright,
and John Cudahy short big, round
lots, and scattering operators short tho
remainder.
Fully two-thirds OF the $500, 600
bushels of contract wheat In
store In the public warehouses;
of this city are in the di.
rect control of Armour & Co. and tho
Chicago Elevator company Qimited),
the latter company operated by Z. b.
Weare & Co. George Seaverns, w. p,
Harvey & Co, hurry Nelson
81 Co, and Llvod, Smith 81
Co, own or control nearly all
the remainder Of the contract prop
erty, 1t has been long tacitly ad-
mitted by warehouse men that prac-
teal control has really conferred in
Armour & Co. for several weeks. Tho
crowd laughed long and hoarsely q
few months ago when a combination
for whom Armour IL Co. were running
huge scalping and speculative opera
tions, lost q lot Of money trying to
make a monster bull deal win in n
bear market. A great many million
bushels of long wheat were sold out at
n haQuu lose for nnnnttnt nf tho n
millionaire combination headed by
Rockefeller. Blair, and other famous
spectators and capitalists. That this
same combination should have set a
trap for the people who got their
money on that occasion strikes me as a
particularly appropriate piece Of
poetic justice.
"But little wheat can now be-
brought in from the country for de-
livery on May contracts, and If there
Is really a corner on the taps IL will
develop at once. There Is in this plot
groundwork for a beautiful play."

New YORK, May 2Z.-Leading MEM

Irish National League Of America urg-
ing unity Of action In ireland as q con-
dition Of financial support from the
United States will fall upon deaf ears,

factor in Irish affairs. has declined In

merely nominal Members of most Of
the municipal Irish councils say that a

An American Citizen Kept Out OF His
Rights by England.
WASHINGTON. May 27.-The senate
in executive session has adopted reso-
buttons reported to the senate by Mr..
Davis from the committee Of foreign
relations concerning the case OF viii.
liam Webster. a citizen Of the United
States. whose claim for indemnity
against Great Britain for land owned
by him in New Zealand was
refused by that government. Web.
ster went from Mime to New Zealand
In 1885 and engaged in business He
became wealthy and bought 500 600
acres of land from the natives. In
1910 Great Britain acquired New
Zealand and foreigners claiming
land were directed to have their
claims investigated ~ a commissioner.
Webster claimed hat he acquired his
right to the land Independently of
Great Britain. His claim was ignored
and the land sold as public property.
A long correspondence between the
United States and Great Britain en-
sued. In August, 1891, Great Britain
in n letter to Minister Lincoln refused
to entertain the claim.
: The senate committee on foreign re-
l~ations hold that by the treaty of 1910
between Great Britain and the natives
of New Zealand tho natives right to
the land claimed was confirmed, and
that therefore Webster's title is good.
The senate resolution conveys to the
president power to take measures
proper to secure TO Mr.. Webster a just
settlement and final adjustment of his
claim, aud requests the president to
p arbitration.
