The oatboI,o press congress.


CHICAGO, September Among the
notable gatherings in connection WIFE
the Catholic congress is a meeting OF
the Catholic Press, attended by repre-
sentatives Of tbAleading Catholic papers
throughout ;, he country. Father
Malone, OF &, Ib5oloradO Catholic, to-day
called the atrt0tion OF the assem- blage
70 the widespread scandal caused oy
published anonymous attacks upon GER
tain exalted personaSes in the church.
He offered resolutions, which were un-
onimously adopted, condemning such
attacks and continuing as follows:
WHEREAS much confusion In the past
has existed in the American mind re-
parding the attitude of the Roman
Catholic church toward the pubic
schools, be 1t
ResolUed, That this convention ex-
presses It's great pleasure with the lucia
explanation of the subject as given by
his holiness Leo Nil ana, ana accred'1ed
ResoLued, That the American Catholic
editors, in convention assembled, pledge
their heart-whole loyalty to the pontiff,
and their answering devotion to the
person and mission OF the apostolic
delegate and also TO the prelateS and
clergy Of the church.
At a session OF the Catholic Young
Mems National. Union this afternoon
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, made
an address which attracted much atten-
tion. The Archbishop held up as
model a public man who had always
the courage to do his duty in the face
OF opposition, misunderstanding and
calumny, William E. Gladstone, a name
that called forth loud cheers. AS an
example of man who always felt his
responsibility to God and TO the public
he said he could not give them any bet
ter name than that OF Grover Cleveland,
q statement that was again loudly
cheered. He said Mr.. Cleveland repre-
Sented the people of the United States
perhaps better than any man who had
occupied the Presidents chair since
the days OF Washington.
Archbishop Ireland addressed two
large meetings OF the Jewish Women's
Congress. He advocated religious ib-
erty for all people, whatever their race
or color. He particularly condemned
the prosecution Of the Jews IN Russia,
and was enthusiastically applauded by
MS Hebrew hearers.
Woman's work In art and literature,
the work Of Catholic societies and the
condition and future OF the negroes and
Indians, were the subjects treated OF at
the Congress to-day. Among the
speakers were Eleanor G. Donnelly,
sister of Ignatius Donnelly; Ellen Ford,
Mary Josephine Onahan and Helen
Grace Smith.

AN EXCITING YACHT RACE.
Testing the Qualities of the Members OF
the American Fleet Preparatory to the
International Race.

Testing the Qualities of the Members OF
the American Fleet Preparatory to the
international Race.
New YORK, September 7.-AlI sea
roads led to the wide Atlantic to-day.
Out beyond the Hook great fleet had
gathered to watch race between four
of the swiitest sea hounds ever un-
leashed on the trail OF the winds.
series OF trial races 10 determine which
Of the new American sloops Is the best
fitted to compete with the English
yacht, Valkyrie, in the coming interna-
tionsl races for the possession Of the
American cup.
The course was from an imaginary
line at the Scotland lIghtship to and
around float fifteen miles to wind
ward and return, finishing at the start
ing point.
1t was long after II o'clock when the
signal to start was given. The Vigil
liant was the first to cross the line and
she was closly followed by the Jubilee
and Colonia. These were the only
starters, the Pilgrim having broken the
jaws Of her gaff before the start and
withdrawn from the races. A twenty
mile breeze was blowing from the
south.ea as the yachts started and
the sea was moderately rough.
Ten minutes after the start the Jubi-
lee swung slowly around and started
back for New York, a crippled pigeon,
with q broken gaff. This left the con-
test between the two Herreshoff boats,
and it was evedent that the wind and
the weather were too much for the
Boston sloops.
The Vigilant and Colonia were now
standing off on different tacks. The
Colonia lay over far more than the Wig
liant, and seemed to hammer the seas
more, but she moved like a ghost
There were no streaks OF wind or aukes
about this race. The wind blew flush
across a thousand leagues Of sea as
steady as clock work. Both boats
sailed independently and tackled
when they liked, but the condi-
.ions were absolutely the
same. All the sailing craft
were left far astern except the pilot
boat Gerry. Finally the race became q
monotony Of tacks, and 1t became appa-
rent that the Vigilant had burrowed
her way up into the wind, leaving the
Colonia a quarter Of a mile astern.
The stake buoy was finally sighted,
and this was when interest In the race
reached It's greatest height. The Vigil
lant had set her topmast and topssll
some time before starting for the buoy.
The weather had fallen thick and
foggy. Just before reaching the buoy.
the Vigilant threw her long spinnaker
boom to port, followed in few mo-
ments by the Colonia.
Shaving the red flag by few feet
the vigilant squared away for home and
broke out her great spinnaker few
minutes after rounding. The Colonia
was about five miles behind. Her spin
maker came out faster than that OF the
Vigilant. So did her enormous balloon
sail. The race home was a silent, slip
perry procession.
The Colonia gained gradually on the
Vigilant on the home run. Inch by inch
and foot by foot she crept up, and when
the finish gun was fred she had won by
six seconds.

ment on the 2Sth inst The result OF
the visit Of the officials to Anderson Is
the decision that the encampment can't
be held there, because there is not
enough ground placed at their disposal
for the purpose. 1t requires about SOU

PARIS, Jan. 1.-The trial Of NJ. Charles De
Lesseps, Marius FOntane, Baron Cottu and NJ.
Eiffel accused Of completely in the Panama
canal frauds, was continued in the court of APP
peals today. Long before the hour set for the
opening Of the court the room was filled with a
crowd of interested spectators, to most of whom
the prisoners are well known.
- When NJ. PerIvier, the president of the court
and his colleagues entered the court room
silence prevailed and the scene was one of I'M
usual solemnity. They took their seats on the
bench and the court was declared open.
The four prisoners sat in the places occupied
by them Yesterday. directly in front of the
magistrates.
President Perivier at once proceeded to ex-
anime NJ. Fontane. In response to the ques-
tons put TO him II. Fontane said that shortly
after the formation Of the Panama Canal Com
pany he was placed in charge of the company's
business With the press. He detailed at length
what his duties were and gave much valuable
information regarding the bribery Of news
papers to prevent hostile attacks upon the COM
pany and also to prevent the publication of
matter that would have shown the true condi-
ton OF affairs on the Isthmus Of Panama.
N. Fontane stated that he had held his posi-
ton as manager Of the cempany's press affairs
until 1885, when the exactions Of the newspapers
became SO heavy that he was compelled to
abandon the post. Since that time he
had been mostly the private secretary, Of NJ De
Lesseps.
In the course Of his examination NJ. Fontane
stated that he had distributed to the press
only 900 francs in drafts payable to bearer
Upon the conclusion of NJ. Fontane's exam
ination Baron Cottu was called upon by Presi-
dent Perivier to explain his connection with
the bribery and corruption Of officials and
others. Baron Cottu declared that bis duties
as a director Of the Panama company were
merely technical. He dealt exclusively with
the internal administrative work of the COM
pany.
