Life Insurance company, published the
results of his inquiries OF 12,5l3 cores
pondents throughout the country, con-
corning the course of public opinion in
the presidential contest in their neigh
borhoods. He put his questions in
every case not to politicians but to men
Of business of large acquaintance. and
he asked them to answer them with
conditions within their knowledge.

plies indicated that Mckinley would re-
ccive 251 electoral votes.
Since MIR. Mccall published these
figures. he has continued his inquiries,
and he now has in all answers from
24.037 correspondents. Tabulated, they
anticipate 266 electoral votes for Nc
Kinley. safe majority of AZ.
AS to the Central states the replies
are especially significant. In Wlscon-
sin 500 correspondents give the state 10

to the Silverites. thus confirming inc
belief that it's electoral vote Will GER

choice of Mckinley electors and 1O7 the
choice OF Bryanites. In Illinois. 1543
assign the state to Mckinley. and only
243 to Bryan. a proportion that is en-
couragingly at variance with many re-
ports thence. In Indiana, on the other

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND FINALLY
SPEAKS OF THE REPORTS
RECENTLY PUBLISHED
THAT He HAD LOST PRESTIGE
WITH THE POPE BY REASON OF
SOME RECENT PUBLIC Ut
TERANCEs.
HAS NOT BEEN CALLED TO ROME
And Does Not BeIievr That Such q
Call Would FIRST Come by
Newspapers.

Archbishop Ireland has heretofore ad-
hered firmly to his first decision not
to speak of the repeated rumors pur-
porting to come from Rome. stating
IN one way or another that he was t6,
be called to account for some Of his
views or actions
Last night, however, he consented to
make the following statement: I'm ali
the reports recently published as to my
relations. with the Vatican there is not
one syllable of truth. Not one word
has come to me from Rome indicating
the smallest change in the kind feel
ings which the sovereign pontiff and
his immediate advisers have been
pleased to entertain toward me- 1t is
false to say that I have been sum
moned to Rome. I have not beer
asked to give an explanation of any
act, or any writing of mine, and, GER
tainly, if the sovereign pontiff had de-
sired to approve or to blame me, he
would have communicated his will tc,
myself instead of making it known to
me through the gossip of newspaper
reporters of Europe or of America.
What may be the sources of the
reports, or the motives Of the men who
put those reports into circulation
Whether the enemies be political or ec-
cles1ast1cel-I do not know, nor do
care to inquire. The Roman paper
quoted in this mornings dispatches +
a bitter and malicious adversary of the
Vatican, and surely cannot be quoted
as representing the views of the pope
Whether the report published in the
Roman paper originated in Rome or
in America, is a matter that need not
be discussed at present The absurdity
OF all those reports reached the clima>
when even Cardinal Gibbons was re
ported as likely to be disciplined by
Rome"
