POLISH CATHOLICS MIXED UP.
Battle With Clubs and Missiles at
Bay City Church.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. PA special to
the Tribune from Bay City, Mich, says:
The two factions which have been d.
viding the st. Stanislaus Polish Catho-
lie congregation for the past six months
came together today in a battle, in which
clubs and missiles were used and nearly
a score injured. The church was crowd
ed when the trouble began. Father GO
ganecki, the successor Of Father Mat
howski, the former priest, whose actions
had divided the church and led to hos
Titles originally, scored the ant1-MAt-
kowski faction for purchasing q cemetery
of their own, saying they would be cut
off from all the offices of the church.
After the services, when Father Gogan-
eck started for his mouse, he was forced
back into the church by the crowd. "a
squad Of police tried to rush the priest
from the church to the parsonage. a
battle ensued, and many heads We're
broken by the officers clubs. The priest
was pushed back and finally toward noon,
was escorted away from the premises.
This evening the crowd dispersed.

1t HUNG CHANG MADE A MISTAKE.
DocI<ed Years Salary for an In
suit to the Emperor.

washington, d. c., Nov. 2L- Since the an
nouncement by cable that an imperial edict
had been issued mulcting Ii Hung Chang in
one years salary for presumtng to enter the
precincts of the ruined summer palace while
visiting the empress dowager, there have been
numerous inquiries of members of the Chinese
legation from attaches of other legations, so
ciety people and others interested, concerning
the exact nature of the offense of the Chinese
minister for foreign affairs, and especially con-
corning the history of the 'runed summer
palace" and the reasons for the sanctity with
which It appears to be hedged about.
The members of the Chinese legation how
ever, are firm believers in the proverb that
"silence is golden and difficult as it Is at
most times to induce them to talk on public
or private matters it has been douhly difficult
to persuade them to solve the riddle of the ru-
ined palace.
The key to the mystery, however, is now
given for the first time. The ruined palace
at least so far as it relates to LII Hung Chang
offense is merely a pleasurable fiction. The
| facts are that there two factions at the
| Chinese court, one headed by some of the close
advisers of the emperor and with whom he
himself is in harmony and the other headed
| by the empress dowager. AS result OF this
factonal fight, exceedingly strained relations
| exist between the latter and the emperor. Ii
| Hung Chang is in sympathy with the empress
doWager faction, and upon his return to Pekin
he is understood to have paid his respects to
| the ex-empress before making Obeisance to the
| emperor. This not only a breach of oific-
al etiquette that none but Ii Hung Chang
! would nave dared to perpertrate, but was also
! regarded as an indication of hts intention of
going behind the throne and of cndeavorlng
to bring the influence of the emperors adopted
mother to bear upon the imperial policy far
as Ii Hung Chang might desire to mold it.
! Hence the wrath Of the emperor and the con-
proclamation that named him minister for
foreign affairs.
