hood, or, at least. little afTectionate regard
for the priests distinguishing a great part
Of these immigrants. They seem to be
without religious sentiment, IL not with
out religious faith. The Irish immigrant,
bringing with him deep devotion to his
Church, seeks naturally It's spiritual pro-

This problem Of the spiritual care OF the
Italians which confronts the Roman Cath
Ollie authorities is Of grave social impor-
lance also. These immigrants have proved
exceedingly useful. and they have succeeded
generally in obtaining employment, but
they are specially in need Of the moral re-
s~traints imposed by religion, and obviously
their natural religious guide Is the Roman
Catholic Church. II they fall away from
attachment to it they lose all religious In.
terest whatever and become substantial
pagans. Accordingly, the agitation for their
spiritual elevation which has been started
by the Catholic Citizen deserves the fullest
public commentator.

A Patriotic surreut,on from Pensioners.

To H EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sfr: The need Of
o stronger navy seems to be the vital require
ment Of our Government. We suggest that tho
old soldiers have an opportunity afforded them
to once moro prove their loyalty to "Old Glory"
We believe If the subject is properly presented
the great body Of pensioners would donate their
claims for ono year to the Government in such
numbers. be the sacrifice never SO great. that
the way to pay for q fleet of q dozen or moro fine
vessels would be clear.
The undersigned are willing to begin this
movement and hereby tender tho amount of
their pension certificates to the Government for
one year for the above purpose.
We would be glad II the press generally gave
publicity to this matter. and we shall be much
surprised IL there is not a very general and
favorable response from the veterans.

BRIDGE TROLLEY sERVICE.

Forty Extra Policemen Detailed.
Cars of the Flatbush avenue line in Brooklyn
were added yesterday to the Brooklyn Bridge
trolley service. making ten limos now running
to Park row.
On tho Inauguration Of tho bridge trolley ser
vice it was found that those having fenders ron

to make 1t dangerous for persons standing there.
Since then the tenders have been taken off at
the Brooklyn end, and o considerable number of
the cars made their trips in Brooklyn also with.
out tho fenders. Arrangements have been made
at the Brooklyn end whereby the Tenders may
be quickly removed from the cars coming across
and be replaced on the return trip. Hereafter
the cars will carry their tenders while on the
streets.
Police Captain Ward has received from Chief
McCullagh a detail Of forty extra men for bridge
duty. They are each at least six feet tall. so as
to be readily seen in a crowd. and the greater
number of them will be used for the present 10

fourteen from Brooklyn.

Searching tho Maine.

In insisting on Its prior right to examine
the Maine, and in declining SPANS pro-
posal for q joint investigation, our Gov
ernment had strong precedent behind Its
action.
The wrecked ship is still ours, and carries
with 1t that right Of ex-territoriality which
all the publicists maintain. TIL ports and
roadsteads Of Cuba are SPANS, and just as
she may assign special anchorages for the
use Of our war vessels or account OF the ex-
plosivss they carry or for other reasons OF
local order and safety, SO she had the right
to put n patrol about the Maine after the
explosion. Not only had all the living OFF,
GERS and men quilted the ship, but she was
becoming o possible source of peril to navi-
cation. She might also have become the
prey of harbor thieves.
But when Capt. SIesBEE proposed to go
aboard his ship again and to take charge
of the property there. nc question could
arise of his exclusive right to do 80. The
immunity of a warship from local jurisdic-
tion, as q high authority says, "has come to
be more absolute than that Of the official
residence Of Ambassadors. She is exempt
from visitation and search" Indeed, our
navy regulations expressly forbid conn
manding officers to allow foreign customs
officers to examine their ships.
The prompt resumption of control Of the
Maine by Capt. SIGsBEE showed that there
had been no abandonment of her, and the
authorities recall that when the old Consti-
tuition, about nineteen years ago, went
aground upon the English coast, while re-
turning with goods at the public expense
from the Paris Exposition, the courts
would not allow even proceedings for sal
wage against her because she was a public
ship. Our Government, in the case of the
Maine, at once negotiated with wrecking
companies to raise her or save her contents.
All this has to do with the simple ques-
ton of right; but, in addition. the Maine
contained valuable papers, such as her log,
her secret instructions, and our naval
cipher code, and, above all, marks to show
whether her fate was due to accident, care.
lessness, or villainy nj treachery in her
Havana surroundings.

Who knows but there will grow up q history

1t is too late to ask that question. The ener-

The result OF the trial was that the new ball

1rrelieion Among the Italians.

The great increase In the italian popula-
tion of this country, and more especially Of
this city, has brought to the Roman Cath
Ollie Church o very serious sense Of respon-
sibility regarding their religious condition.
Nominally these immigrants are Roman
Catholics, yet a great part Of them are des-
titute of any strong attachment for that
Church, IL not of any deep religious senti-
ment whatever. Accordingly. the Catholic
Citizen of Milwaukee has begun an agita-
tion of the subject which has enlisted the
support of the Roman Catholic papers Of
the Union generally.
"The Italians themselves" says the
Catholic Sun, "are taking about as much
interest in the affair as q dead man would
in the tariff" and this indifference 1t
attributes to the total Indifference of the
Church in Italy toward the people, and as
it sees every little hope Of reforming them"
in America, 30 long as they are neglected
at home, it suggests as "a good idea" the
sending over of some missionaries to In
struct them in Italy. Another Roman
Catholic newspaper, speaking of the Ital-
ians of Philadelphia, says that, although
for fifty years they have had a priest of
their own country, hoI al 1eaiian-aLneri-
can has become a priest; even the endeavor
to secure youths to be trained has failed"
none of them ever having applied for ad.
mission to the diocesan seminary.
Another Roman Catholic paper, pressing
the view that the reforming agencies must
be set to work at Rome, says that "if our
prelates are unable to do moro for the 1tal-
ans or any better, let the Propaganda try
Its hand and see If 1t canno succeed better"
The Northwestern Catholic Is OF the same
mind, declaring that III Italy Is to be re-
converted the mission should be conducted
in Italy" and for these reasons:
"If the love and affection that ought to exist be-
tween the priest and the people had any place in the
