DIR. Rocker Says Nothing Has Been Done
..+, About the ireland Letter.
NEW YORK, Nov 24-Rev DR. z. Y.
Rocker, secretary of the apostolic dele
cation at Washington, preached at the
celebration of the feast Of St. Cecilia
at St. Agnes church. During the. SER
mon he made no reference to the re-
ports of troubles i'll Catholic circles at
Washington, but in an interview at its
close he said
'sNothing has been said or done about
Archbishop Ireland's letter in which
the St. Paul prelate pronounced for the
gold standard. If Archbishop Ireland
made them any votes by it the Repub-
licans ought to do something for him.
As an ecclesiastic Archbishop Ireland
took no part in the campaign. The
subject was never mentioned in the
pulpit. What he said as a man and a
citizen concerns no one but himself. =

"What about the gossip connecting
your name with the cabinet?" he was
asked
II have seen it stated that I am to be
secretary of war in McKinley's cabinet,
but those publications emanate, lam
sure, from persons who are not in
touch with the president-elect I
would be happy to occupy such q posi-
ton, but [ have not been asked to do
so, and I 90 not know that shall be.
That is all there is to it. The only
reference to politics between Mr.
Hanna and myself was a remark by me
to the effect that Mr.. Hanna had been
slated for the position Of secretary of
the treasury and hoped he would get
it. To that Mr.. Hanna replied that he
did not desire a position in the, cab
