IRELAND AND The RED HAT
Report that Archbishop VIII Become q
Cardinal Again Circulates.
ST. PAUL CHuHCnHAN IS RIGHT IN LINE
Promotion. IL f. said In Rome. Will
Not Come to Him Just Yet
Numerous Guesses on
the subject.

Copyright 1898, by Press Publishing Co }
ROME, Aug. 25.-tNew York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram THE report
that Archbishop Ireland Of st. Paul. Mimi,
is to be made a cardinal is still premature.
1t seems to have been revived in conse-
quence Of his having been chosen as the
special agent OF the vatican to make repre-
sentations at Washington regarding the
Roman Catholic church in the Philippine
Islands. Undoubtedly he was selected for
that mission because OF his known influence
with President Mckinley. The success be
seems to have scored in securing promise
OF protection and equal rights for the dio-
cese of Manila under American control
makes it natural to infer that he will be
rewarded. The cardinalate would be the
next step in promotion. Rumor has had
him in line for 1t many times.
Some people have surmised. however, that
be is to be designated as the head of the
church in Manila. for which position he
would be especially fit should the United
States retain the islands or direct their
affairs. Other people have guessed that he
would be given the archbishopric of San
Juan, where the church is to be reconstruct
ed on American lines, but it is probable that
the new archbishop for these sees will be
French. not American. In any case it will
be Impossible to do anything about promo
tion before November, as no consistory will
take place till then. At the present moment
the Jesuits would oppose his elevation to the
cardinalate. and so would Spain. as he has
appeared unfriendly toward it, but Arch
bishop Ireland is almost certain TO become
a cardinal later.

Man Who is Accused of Wife Murder
Commits Suicide.

PARIS, Aug. 25-Ernest Joseph Possel.
the German who had been trying to collect
a claim Of s1O,000 upon life insurance pol
icy issued to his late wife, an English
woman, by the Urbanne Insurance company,
which had resisted payment on the ground
that he had thrown her of a cliff near Flor
ence, Italy, committed suicide last evening
at the Durand restaurant in the Place de la
Madeleine. Possel, who called himself the
Marquis de Gondeville and pretended to be a
French subject, was under heavy bail and
the authorities had ordered the exhumation
OF the body Of his wife.
The maiden name of Mrs. PosseI was
Eleanor Bracket and she was about q years
old. The couple had been staying at Flor
ence and one day Possel returned home
alone from drive. saying that his wife fell
OF the cliff, on the edge of which she was
resting while he was mending his harness.
They were married in England last March
and Possel insured her life almost immedi-
ately. 1t developed after her body was
found beneath the cliff that Possel had been
seen there several days before throwing
down large stones and watching their de-
scent. The mother OF Mrs. Possel, how
ever, stoutly maintained that Possel was in
nocent of the death of his wife

ARBITRATORS ARE BUSY At WORK.
Reports that Meeting il Not Likely to
Prove Success.

QUEBEC, Que. Aug. 25.-The arbitration
commissioners assembled for their first joint
business meeting at the parliament building
today. The meeting was absolutely private.
Although little is said by the commissioners
themselves, there is considerable discussion
/ in the Canadian newspapers and among
those indirectly connected with the confer
ence concerning two points upon which
the committee may fail to agree. State
ments and interviews have been printed in
the Canadian newspapers to the effect that
the American commissioners will insist that
the present preferential tariff Of the 90
minion in favor of England must be done
away with before any concessions on the
part of the United States will be made
Under the present tariffs Canada admits
products from Enbgland at rs per cent less
than the duty imposed upon products from
the United States and other countries. Con-
eressman Dingley has been quoted in the
Montreal papers as making such a state
meut, but he denies having made such an
assertion or any other statement OF like
nature. -
1t is said also that Sir Wilfred Laurer's
position may become an obstacle in the way
OF the commissioners success. Tho asser-
| tion is made that Sir Wiltred steadfastly
declines TO consider the adjustment of any
other matter under discussion unless the
Americans will agree to final settlement
OF all the questions. II is said that he will
| insist upon a complete cleaning up OF all
! the differences or nothing at all. But all
this is the talk Of newspapers and outsiders.
Neither Sir Wilfred Laurier nor the COM
missioners will discuss any of these points
beyond a Dingley interview.

gagged in send.ng small relief expeditions to

to the work he writes TO Stephen E. Barton
as follows:
l am happy to inform you that the two
last expeditions OF food sent to Cuba. one
TO Cardenas and one to the coast above
Sagua la Grande, arrived safely and were
delivered TO the hungry women and chill
dren TO their great delight. part OF that
sent TO the shores near Cardenas was car

Pinar del Rio provinces are suffering horri-
bly, Notwithstanding you have so much
work 10 do in the different volunteer camps
In the United States, | most sincerely hope
that the Cuban relief committee win not

Cuba who are starving. II IL meets your

plan Of putting on a realistic reproduction

as nearly as possible and this will be pro-
PEELED down the lagoon under fire from the

Grown Folks on the Ground.
Excursions that bring more people than
they promise are usually infrequent; but
there were two of them on the grounds yes
terday- Sioux City sent upwards of 100
people to assist in the celebration of Sioux
City day and the childrens excursion from
Lincoln and intermediate points brought
fully 1,500 instead OF 900 as the estimates
indicated. These, with the large attend
ance OF general visitors, kept the crowd
well up to the high water mark.
The first party on the grounds was brought
in by the Burlington special from Lincoln
and it was whale. The train consisted ct
| fifteen coaches and they were iamnled full
OF children. There were upward of /, 800 Of
them in the party. and when they were
marshaled into the grounds they suggested
the query whether there were any more Of
the same size left in Lincoln. Their train
arrived at the Burlington depot Just before
| 3 o'clock and the children were at once
! taken TO the grounds in special motor trains
As they had been provided with tickets on
the trains, there was little delay in getting
them inside. and fifteen minutes later they
were scattered from the Indian camp to the
Arch Of States. As their train did not leave
on the return trip unit! Q: 80 in the evening
were able to see the illuminations and hear
most OF the evening concert The Rock
Island had number of extra cars attached
10 its regular morning train and swelled the
children's crowd to about 500
The Sioux City crowd was another big
factor in the attendance. The MANAGEMENT
had expected 1000 people from that city and
that figure was slightly exceeded A special
| train Of eleven coaches brought the bulk OF
! The crowd, but the regular trains were also
heavily loaded. The special delivered its
burden az the Boyd street entrance and the
