The Emma Juch Grand English Opera

ROME, April 10.-Archbishop Ireland
OF st. Paul, speaking of the Pope, said
the latter's letter to the President OF the
European Commission of the Chicago
exhibition is an unusual document, and
has surprised churchmen of the old
school, tenacious of traditions and forms.
The Pope Is constantly giving proof that
he is really the Pontiff of this age, un-
Outstanding thoroughly its aspirations
and methods. A few weeks ago he
broke an honored custom, which, under
the plea of guarding his dignity, con-
hned his power, and in an interview
with Partisan journalist addressed him
self through the public press to the peo-
pie of France upon the gravest political
and religious questions.
To-day he opens his mind in a most
cordial letter to a non Catholic gentle
man, and through him to a nation.
largely non-Catholic, bidding Godspeed
to gigantic enterprise, which on the
shores of Lake Michigan is to bring to-
gether, as never before in the universe,
the fruits of earth and the work Of genius
and industry of man.
Archbishop ireland said he could
quote numerous instances as proof that
there is no other European parsonage of
note so American in his thoughts and
Sympathies as Leo. He sees in the
United States perfect blossoming Of
that rational liberty he so ardently de-
slres Tor all nations, and has derived
from the United States, if not a good
share of the democratic inspirations
which ne has been sending out over the
world from the Vatican, at least solid
encouragement for them.
Archbishop Ireland went on to eulo-
glze the Pope in the highest manner, and
SAID his pontiiicate will be historic
marking one Of the brightest pages in the
annals of the church. His encyclicals
have dealt, one after another. with press
ing questions Of the age, and each one
comes out from the Vatican more signiti-
cant in tone than the preceding.
The Archbishop dwelt at length on the
encycilcal on labor, and the last one adj
dressed to the people of France, as show
ing most clearly the characteristic features
OF the Pope, and said he is the Pope Of the
future more than of the present, in a
sense that his work to-day is sowing of
fruitful ideas, the full growth of which
cannot be seen for years to come. The
future alone can judge Leo in plenary
justice.
In conclusion, the Archbishop said Leo
bids fair to direct for several years vet
onward the movements of the age. He
has just entered upon his eighty-third
year, and while apparently most frail in
body, he is healthy and capable of much
labor. His mind is as clear and vigorous
as ever ana his memory is most retentive.

BRUSSELS, April 10.-The Indepen-

the first two articles on the United States
South America and Europe by Senior
Maximilliano 1banez, the well known
Chilean writer. Senior Ibanez reviews
the circumstance of the Baltimore SQUAD
bic between the United States and Chile,
and attempts to show that the
American Government was quite wrong
and unjustly exacting from first to last.
He discards the idea that Blaine's
policy was merely inspired by cleo
toneering purposes, and proceeds to
show that it is part and
parcel of the general policy aiming at
results which are highly alarming to the
South American States and to European
nations, among which Great Britain,
France and Germany stand first.
he recalls the annexation of California,
the Washington Cabinets interference in
the war between Chile and Peru in 1879.

Peru to surrender its resources and free

WASHINGTON, April l0.-As the time
set for the. Democratic National Conven-
ton draws near. chickering's among the
Democrats in Washington steadily grow
III heat and bitterness, and members of
the party are daily becoming more de-
spondent. The matter which is giving
the Democrats in Congress more trouble
than everything else, and which is fan
nlng tactlonal quarrels TO fever heat is
the selection of candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice Presidency. There are
few Democrats in the House who do not
realize that the tide turned against their
party three months ago, ana has been
rising higher every week since that time,
so that the present prospect Of victory in
November is gloomy in the extreme.
-Four months ago many OF them felt
convinced that Hill was the coming man
Few, II any OF them, now regard Hill as a
possibility. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the willy German, having
sucked the Hill orange dry, is nearly
ready to cast aside the refuse. There is
no doubt German is the second choice of
most of the Southern. Democrats who de-
clared for Hill early last winter, but
some of them are not.
One OF the latter class said to-day that
German is playing deep and dangerous
game. He has used Hill to stimulate and
intensity the opposition Of the Farmers
Alliance in the South to Cleveland. He
now proposes to use Cleveland to
strengthen himself Il have reason to
know that both he and Brce believe that
neither Hill nor Cleveland stands any
chance ofgetting the nomination, but [
do not know that Brice favors German,
and | am inclined to believe that he does
not, but prefers Western candidate"
If the remarks OF leading Southwestern
and Western Democratic Representatives

reflects the opinions of their supporters
at home, the Cleveland boom is about TO
experience another eclipse. 1t the Dem
ocratic congressman correctly reflect the

likewise acquired title to about $4,000
acres of land lying under the contem-
plated reservoir. Yesterday King or
dered the party to quit work at the point

sisted upon them leaving their camp, and
upon refusal fired several shots, none
taking effect. The camp cook, named
Crum, returned the fire, hitting King in
both legs. He was brought to this city in
