Chinamem Are Pourimo Jn.

T0RREON, MEX, June S.-Several car.
loads OF Chinese have passed through this
town within the past few days headed
north. 1t is the belief that they will be
passed over the border into the United
States in violation of the exclusion act.
Two Government detectives from San
Francisco have come here to watch the
Chinese moyement. There is no doubt
that large numbers of Chinese are smug-
gled into the United States over the south
ern border, but the boundary line is so
long that II is difficult to watch it. The
American Government has OF late become
aroused TO the necessity of watching these
leaks, and will try to stop them.

ABOUT THE CATHEDRAL
Bishop Curtis Wanted Grace
Church But Money Saved 1t.
Id CATHEDRAL AS A SCHOOL

OLD CATHEDRAL AS A SCHOOL
THE TRUSTEES OF GRACE
CHURCH STARTED A FUND AND
RAISED $4,000, WHICH SAVED
THE EDTFTCE FROM THE CATHO-
LICs.
The exclusive announcement in the
Evening Journal regarding the proposed
building of a big cathedral by the Ro-
man Catholics of Wilmington created
no end of talk in the Catholic clubs
and societies. The sentiments eX-
pressed were favorable to the move
ment, and several signified their will
ingness to help consummate the plan.
1t is understood that action will be
taken in the matter during the Winter,
and later on a meeting of influential
Catholics Of this city and Bishop Mona
CHAN will be arranged to devise plans
for the collection of money with which
to purchase the site for the church.
During the rule Of Bishop Curtis,
the large, handsome grey-stOne Grace
NJ. e. Church was in danger of being
sold by the sheriff. There was a debt
Of $4,000 against the church, which
sum would have been paid by Bishop
Curtis. IL was his desire to make
Grace Church, when additions had
been made, the Catholic cathedral of
Wilmington. IL leaked out despite the
secrecy maintained by the friends OF
Bishop Curtis in keeping the matter
from the supporters of Grace Church
that the Catholic bishop would be
among the highest bidders for The
church. But Grace Church was not to
pass into the hands of anyone outside
OF the pale of Methodism.,
The church was saved, however, and
Bishop Curtis dropped the plan for a
cathedral.
It is now cOnjectured that the pres
ent cathedral at Sixth and West streets
is to be made into a Catholic girls
/ high school. 1t is not probable thai
Bishop Monaghan will allow this, bu
the building of the new cathedral il
the northwestern section Of the city
will greatly reduce the membership O.
the old cathedral. The weH-to-dC
Catholics would, Of course, attend tn,
new cathedral.
