the arch bishops at Washington, but the
efforts at secrecy were successful in
keeping the pope's letter from publicity
then.
What steps the srchbishops took can
not be learned. but with the views of the
pope thus clearly expressed. it is doubt
less that ttheAmerican church will anathe-
matize congresses of religion in the
same way that an interdiction was placed
on Catholic participation in the Knights
of Pythias, Odd Fellows, and other secret
societies.
The congress of religions held at Chi
cago as a feature of the Worlds fair
was the most notable gathering of that
character in recent years, bringing to-
gether not only the many sects of
Christianity, but also Hindoos, Brahmins,
Buddhists and Theosophists. The gath
ering was so notable that its projectors
have expected it would lead to further
congresses merging all sects and creeds.
Whether Pope Leo'S disapproval is
particularly in reference to the Chicago
congress cannot be learned but as that
was the last and by far the most conspic-
uous gathering of the kind. the letter
will be viewed with special reference to

THE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.
Warner Miller Says Personal Liberty Cry
is Trick of TAmmaHy.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-The first large
mass meeting of the campaign was held
in Cooper Union last night under the aus
pces of the Republican club. The prin
clpal speakers were ex-senator Warner
Miller ard Charles Emery Smith, editor
of the Philadelphia Press. Elihu Root
presided.
The most interest was centered in the
speech of Warner Miller. the author Of
the Sunday plank in the state platform.
He prefaced his remarks by saying
that no one but himself was responsible
for that. He said that the Republican
party had done more for home rule than
the Democratic. and that the Democrat
ic demand for home rule was merely for
making Sunday and excise laws, a pow
er which he declared belonged to the
state.
Local option had been tried in the
slavery question and resulted in bloody
war. The personal liberty cry was sim
ply to enable Tammany to levy infam-
Gus taxes. The continental beer garden
might be good thing Tor Europe. but
Sunday opening in New York meant
crimes and murder

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 16-Major
Quinn, United States engineer in charge
OF the lighthouses of this district, has
Just returned from Port Eads, and the
jetties. He insists, after a careful ex-
animation, that the lower delta, and the
sea marshes along the Gulf of Mexico
are slowly sinking. For more
than a year experiments with tide
cuages have been in progres at the mouth
of the Mississippi river and as a result,
Major Quinn has reached the conclusion
that the level of the gulf has been raised
one foot since 1877.

session of the American Bankers asso-
citation was called to order this morning
by President O'Dell, and the convention
proceeded to business after prayer by
the Rev. J. w Heidi
George n. Aldredge then delivered an
address to the association:
"Fhe proposition that this government
should coin silver for the world in unlim-
tied amount at double its market value is
so repugnant to the common sense
of mankind" said Mr. Aldredge, shat
1t ought to be unnecessary to discuss
it. And would be but for the fact that
portion of our people have been misled
by appeals to their prejudice and by the
specious reasoning of spphists."
He pointed out that the leading na-
tions of the earth after testing silver for
hundreds of years, voluntarily adopted
the single gold standard, and that no ma
ton today has the silver standard from
choice He said: "rhe gold standard

called double standard and we are driven
by this law to the use of silver alone.
All gold standard countries use large
country uses any gold whatever As the
practical question is the use of the
metals, it follows that we are in the
bimetaliist class and the 16 to one people
are the monometall.sts.
Continuing, he said: "Interest has de-
clined since 1912 in my part of the couu-

Mr.. AlGredge charged that it was re-

NO SIGNALS FROM MARS.
Prof. Barnard Says They We're Never Seen
by the Lick Telescope.

Oy inc LICK AeieScOpes
CHICAGO Oct 16-Prof E. Bar
hard, the astronomer and former head of
the Lick observatory at Mount Hamilton,
Cal, arrived in Chicago yesterday to as
sumo his position as head of the astro-
nomical department of the University of
Chicago Owing to the delay
in construction of the Yerkes
observatory due to the present
lack of building iron, Prof. Barnard will
not begin active work in the observatory
until some time in January. but will de-
vote his time during the autumn quarter
to writing and lecturlng under the aus
pices of the university extension depart
ment.
When questioned regarding the posi-
bilities of the great Yerkes telescope and
the advantages or disadvantages of its
location at Lake Geneva, the professor
was Inclined to be conservative in his
remarks
LET US dismiss the sensational ideas
concerning the possibilities of a new
and great telescope. SO commonly ex-
pressed, and stick to the facts" he said.
SIN the first place, as to the moon. No
telescope will ever be built that will
give us much additional Information
about it. No telescope. no matter how
powerful it may be, will ever show the
moon clearly at an apparently closer
range than 100 to 100 miles, as seen by
the naked eye.
"The statement was made by one of
the newspapers not long ago. that one
important thing the great forty-inch
| telescope was expected to do was to clear
up the mystery of the signal lights dis
covered upon Mars with the great Lick
telescope, and which were supposed to
be dispatch attempt on the part of the
Inhabitants of Mars to open up commu-
nication with the people of the
earth. This project must fail Ut
terly when it is known no
such signal lights were ever seen up
on Mars with the Lick telescope. but. in
allpro ba ability were seen only by an expert
and keen sighted newspaper man. The
man of ii ars (and his signals) must be
forever undiscovered.
I'VE expect to gain some knowledge
in the study of the surfaces of Uranus
and Neptune, and in the study of the
double stars and the satellites of
the different planets. There are
still many unsolved problems concerning
fixed stars revolving binary stars and
solar prominence.
I'VE have everything to expect for an
excellent performance of Chicago's great
glass. The very location of the 40 in ch
at Lake Geneva may have an important
bearing on the future of great telescopes
though as to the meteorological condi-
ton that prevail at Lake Geneva I am
unable to speak"

If Democrats Take 1t Up Victory is a Ger
tainty.

CHEROKEE. Ia, Oct. 16--Ex-Go Governor
Boies opened the Democratic state cam
paign in this section of the state yester-
day. He reiterated his views on free silver
saying in part: 'In the next national
campaign the greatest Of all questions to
be settled by the American people will
be the question of whether or not silver
is to be remonetized and restored to its
original place of standard money in the
financial system of our country.
II do not fear to predict that the Re-
publican party will never remonetize
silver. 1t alone is responsible for the
great wrong that struck it down"
lit needs no Moses TO lead the
Democratic party in Iowa to vic.
tory on this subject. If it will
inscribe upon its banners an unequivo-
cal demand for restoration of silver to
the place assigned it by the constitution
of our country, and honestly and con-
scientiously stand by its own declaration
its success is assured.
"If it fails to do this it will require a
dispensation of providence to preserve
the present status of even its organiza-
ton in this and many other states"

The state board Of charities which is

cided to adopt military uniform for the
boys at the reform school.
The boys at that institution
now have a uniform of grey, but
they are to be divided into regular mil

tactics. The kind of uniform they arc
now to wear has not been selected.
system of uniform is also to be
adopted for the employees of the Osa-
watomie insane asylum and it will pos
sibly be extended to the Topeka asylum
Mr. George A. Clark, of the board of
charities said TO a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter today: at has become almost nee
essary to adopt some system of uni
forms at the asylum as it is hard in
passing through the corridors to distin-
guish between employees and patients.
This is no reflection on the employees,
as many of the patients in these institu-
tions are perfectly sane on every subject
but one, and look as intelligent as or
dinary people,"
Uniforms on the insane will also tend
to their recovery when they escape.
