THIEVERY AND SMUGGLING.
Serious Charges Against Officers
of the Britannia

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Further evil
dence of the conspiracy among some
of the officers of the White Star Line
steamer Britannia to steal and snug
gle was reported to the police of Jer-
sey City to-day.
In the rooms of Third officer John
Kynaston, who is under arrest here.
and First Officer J. w. Jago, the first
officer who disappeared after the ar
rest of Kynaston on Friday last, were
found three receipts for registered
packages mailed on Friday in New
York. These packages were sent by
Jago to London on the Cunard Line
steamer Etruria, due in London next
Friday. 1t is believed that they con-
tained money and valuables stolen
from the Britannia during her trip
over.
The Britannia arrived in New York
on Friday, and the packages We're
posted on Sunday.
Chief Murray has learned that the
lace which the accused tried to snug
gle from the Britannia to the dock was
part of the cargo of the vessel, and
that the shippers of the lace We're not
in the plot to defraud the Government.
Chief of Police Murray said to-day
that as the White Star Line was
British corporation, and as English
mail was opened, the British authori-
ties have jurisdiction in the matter.
John Kynaston, who tried to have
twenty coupons from United States
bonds cashed here, will have an exam
ination tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-President
Sanford B. Dole of Hawaii is to con-
tinue to exercise the functions of Chief
Executive Of Hawaii until such time

The attention Of the State Depart

that President Dole was to be appoint
ed Governor, as well as to another re-
port that United States Minister
Sewall was to be named for the place,
reference was made to the Annexa-

one clause provides that until Con-
gress shall provide for the Government
Of such islands, all the civil, judicial
and military powers exercised by the
officers of the existing Government in
said islands shall be vested in such

FROM 5. f. BISHOP.
Comment on An Attitude of \.
Y independent


Mr.. EDITOR:-You kindly solicit
my views upon the attitude of the New
York Independent toward the Roman
Catholic church, as indicated in the
quotation:
Have American Catholics no duty
Why should they not inaugurate 3 mis-
sion among those OF their own faith
across the Pacific, and give them a
truer conception Of the church and
the gospel than they have hitherto re-
ceived?"
There appears nothing remarkable
in the expression. It recognizes Che
familiar fact that Catholicism in Prot
estant countries, and especially in tbs
United States, presents a much higher
type of religion and morality than eX-
lists in purely Papal states like Spain
and her colonies. 1t also expresses q
hope that these more enlightened
Catholics Will embrace the opportunity
now created to impart their superior
light to their less favored brethren.
Perhaps I am in error in believing
that the rules of Church order would
debar such missions from one Catholic
province for the reformation of an
other, except by the consent of the
ecclesiastical authorities of the latter.
Would the ArchbishOps Of the Philip
pines permit such an intrusion of Am
erican Catholics? 1t would seem that
the sadly needed religious reforms
must therefore be conducted by
churches Independent of the Roman
obedience"
1t is now nearly or quite century
since the Spanish InQuisltiOn was wont
TO torture and burn heretics. There
has been time for an abatement of the
consequent bitterness of PrOtestantS
towards Catholics. When our Fathers
brought the Gospel to Hawaii, they
knew that along the entire Pacific
coast of Spanish America no Protest
ant preacher could labor without in
curing, not expulsion, but prompt eX-
ecutiOn. Hence they looked upon the
incoming Of Roman priests to Hawaii
with horror. as that of deadly and IN
scrupuIOus foes. Three-uuarters of a
century have abated our Protestant
fears and aversiOns. We have become
able to recognize piety and devotion
wherever they exist, under coat or
cassOck.
In this larger charity, no principles
of Christianity are undermined-they
are only better applied. True Chris
tianity is a religion Of progress. What
ever the Catholic priests may still be-
lieve of the hatred errors of Protest
ants, we would endeavor to recognize
in him whatever there may be of the
true Faith and Spirit of our common
Lord-and in many Of such there is
much faith, piety, and good service.
In recognizing these we by no means
countenance the worship of Mary, nor
the Sacrifice of the Mass, nor the PapaI
Usurpation, all of which we believe to
be detrimental to Religion and Pro-
gress.
Notwithstanding those serious or
rOrs, We believe that devout, God
fearing Catholic is a vastly more use
ful member of Society, and more in the
Divine favor. than a Protestant who
disobeys Gods laws.

WASHINGTON May z 1SsS.-Formal
announcement of the brilliant achieve
ment at Manila was made to the Presi-
dent at eleven o'clock today by Secretary
costing the contents of the official report
and comforting with several visitors
awaiting him, Secretary Long, carrying
his young son with him, left the depart
ment and promptly at eleven o'clock en-
tered the room where President McKin-
ley was seated at the long table in con-
ference with Secretary Alger and some
Senators and members of the House.
Good morning, Mr.. Secretary was mis-
first greeting, and then began an i'm
portant discussion in which unrestrained
enthusiasm over the remarkable results
of the engagement was expressed.
On the way over from the department
and in ascending the White House stair
way, Secretary Long was belabored with
questions, to all of which he good natured-
ly responded, and accepted a congratula-
ton with the spirit Of pride as the head
Of the naval establishments that was
noticeable.
Secretary of War Alger had arrived a
little before and was with the President
when Secretary Long arrived. Before
joining the President Secretary Long said
that another official despatch was ex-
pected at any time following up the first
one just received. He had not, he said,
received word of any kind from Admiral
Sampson and no significant news from
the island of Porto Rico had been re-
ceived here as yet. There is still, how
ever, strong belief that important dis
patches from there may arrive tomorrow
or next day.

TRENTON, May I, 1898 dilemma
in which Senator William J. Sewell finds
himself just now is creating considerable
speculation here. It is beginning to be
Z ated that his appointment as Major
General in the United States Volunteer
Army is a shrewd move on the part of
Hobart and Griggs to side track him as a
factor in New Jersey politics, and leave
them in sole possession of the field.
All precedents go to show that if the
Senator accepts the position in the Army
he must resign from the Senate, and
however high he may be held in the pub
lie estimation as hero. as a power in
politics he would amount to nothing If de-
prived of the patronage which his posi-
tion as Republican Senator gives him. 1t
IS understood that q man of General
sewelps high feelings could not stand the
ignominy of having refused a command in
the army, and those who put up the job
on him. are confident that he will accept
the appointment. It is known that the
Major General appointment came to the
Senator unsolicited. and was somewhat
Of surprise to him.
Hence should the Attorney General the
Hon. John w. Griggs, to whom the aues-
ton whether Mr. sewcll can be Senator
and Major General at the same time has
been conveniently left, decide IN
tne negative, the sllrewd old politician of
camden would certainly be IN deep
dilemma.
