Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, md, Feb. 27.-This last
week Prof. c. c. Cline appeared in this
town and distributed handbils announcing
that he would deliver three free lectures
upon modern Catholicism, and challenged
priests or bishops to answer him. He was
unable to secure any of the public halls by
reason of other engagements and applied
to the trustees of the G. a. r. Hall, who
rented the same at small charge Several
Catholics attended the lectures and took
notes of what was said and also noted who
were present and reported the same to
Father Steigerwald, of the flock. Father
Steigerwald at once promulgated notice
that he would not officiate at the funeral
of any soldier who was member Of the G..
a. r.; second. the G. A. r. an organiza-
ton was denied admission to his church,
and third the G. a. K. should not decorate
the grave of any Catholic soldier. and it is
further reported that a boycott was ordered
against the G. a. r. and all persons who
attended the lectures. Catholic members of
the G.. A r. have been ordered to withdraw
from the organization. One @. A. Il. man
sent his washing TO his laundress and it
was returned, the woman calling upon his
wife and in tears told how she had strug-
gled for years over the washtub To support
herself and little ones and how good the G..
A. r. man had been to her when she needed
assistance, but she had TO obey the edict of
the priest.
There is operated in the town a large
Touring mill by a Catholic who before this
occurrence was G.. a. X. man, and who
supplies the merchants with flour. The
merchants have been notified by the men,
hers of the G. A. r. that if they expect
their trade they must cease selling the iiour
manufactured by this mill SO long as a boy
colt is declared by the priest against the
G.. A r.
One of the Protestant ministers attended
the Cline lectures, and against him Father
SteigerWald has hurled his inVectlves, caus-
ing many of his friends and parishioners to
side with the G. A. r. it looks as il a boy
colt war had been declared between Cath
olic and Protestant of Greensburg. The
Catholics number about 10 per cent. of the
population here.

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-lt is the opinion in

and tho government have needlessly en-
tangled Germany in the Cretan question
and it's embarrassing developments. A
Reichstag Conservative leader, referring to
the subject, said to the correspondent to-
day: 1.-THE admission of Baron Marschall
Won Bieberstein (the minister for foreign
affairs) that German interests are in no
wise involved in the Orient. argues
plainly against the recent course
OF the government, which will make
US no friends. but only enemies,
and which will entail considerable expense
TO us If it leads to nothing worse" This
opinion is shared by nine of the ten men

1t is generally said that this new departure
in foreign politics is radically opposed to
the old Bismarckian ideas. Even the Cen
trist press. although i-Bismarckian, re-
calls the sounder politics of the Bismarck
regime. The Hamburger Nachrichten
strongly protests against the government s
policy in articles evidently from Prince
Bsmarcks pen. and the only class which
expresses satisfaction with his Majesty's
proceedings are the colonial enthusiasts
who also favor his gigantic naval schemes.

The Heney Case.

The case OF the United States to
cancel the assignment Of the Heney
mortgages to Woodburn and Coffin
IL exciting q good deal of interest in
Carson as it practically rehashes the
old mintNcases. Heney was on the
stand Saturday and wore that the
mortgages, to the value, of $1,000
were assigned to Woodburn and Cot
fin in the jail the night he was con.
yicted. The attorneys were to fore
close the mortgages, retain their
fee OF $500 each and turn the balance
over to Mrs. Hensy. This they have
not done and Heney Is now assisting
the Government to set aside the as
Segment. II this is done, Heney's
fine will be paid ont of the amount
realized on the foreclosure Of the
mortgages and the balance, if any,
will be paid 10 his wife.
Heney's evidence in this case
shows up a good deal Of the rotteness
practiced by Attorney Coffin in the
tirst trial. 1t also proves that since
he has been kept in prison he has
kept his lie factory in good rerair. as
his evidence ls contradicted in many
instances by d~isinterested witnesses.
