THE TEMPS ALARMED.
Thinks the Arbitration Treaty
Comedies Too Much to the
United States.

Paris, Nov. 12.-The Temps
to-day expressed itself as being
concerned at the enormous ex-
tension Of Mouroeism involved
in the Anglo American en-
tente," adding that it conferred
upon America the right to set
tie any difficulty between an
American State and a European
power without the authority Of
the American State interested.
This is a big innovation in in
ternational law and endows the
United States with absolute
supremacy in this hemisphere.
1t must be bitter pill to Brit.
ish ride to consent to this.
In conclusion the Temps ex-
presses a doubt as to whether
Europe will accept this agree
ment as precedent.

A NEW SWINDLE.
Clever Spanish Ruse to Victi
mize Sympathetic Amer.
leans.

Washington, November II.
"A Spanish confidence game
that is being worked with sue
cess on Americans in Washing
ton and which was exposed by
United States Consul Bowen
at Barcelona in a special report
to the state department, is
known as "the priest" swindle
and the character is otherwise
an imaginary political prisoner
in a Spanish Jail, his little
daughter about to be left help
less by his approaching de,
mise, and a benevolent priest
who is willing TO care for the
child and send or bring her to
a relative in America. The lat
ter is the victim of the plot.
First he receives a letter from
the prisoner claiming to be his
relative and praying him to
care for his child. Then comes
a letter from the priest an
nouncing the prisoners death
and stating that he will look
after the child until money Is
sent to bring her to her alleged
American relative. The latter
sends the money and is next
Informed by the priest that be
and the child have been arrest
ed in France while on the way
to The United States. That is
the last heard of the swindlers.
Consul General Bowen says
there are variations of these
frauds, but most of them work
successfully.
So many inquiries have been
made by the victims that he
has been obliged to print a cir
cular letter explaining the de-
ception.

ABOUT ARCHBISHOP

ed in an indirect manner to the
sermon delivered by Arch bishop
Ireland at Washington on the
occasion of the conservation of
Bishop Ogernan In this ser
mon the archbishop referred to
the bishops rs the main strength
OF the Catholic church. As the
Jesuits and other religious or
ders have no bishops the ex-
preston was construed to be Il
reflection OH the orders. FROM
the recent publicity a Rome
given to lreland's srlmo ), The
Judgment of those in position
to understand the facts is that
this is The basis for reports from
Rome that Archbishop Ireland
would be summoned lhere and
removed. 1t is believed the
pope's decision will be ad
kerse keeping lIelaud's remov-
al. Further than this there has
been nothing from Rome TO in
dictate the displeasure of@he
