CATHOLIC PLANS
For United States Will Be Consider
ed at Annual Meeting of
Archbishops

Washington, Sept. 3O.-The condition
OF the Catholic church throughout the
country will be considered at the an
nual meeting of the archbiShopS of the
United States, which will be held at
the Catholic university, beginning Oc-
tober IL. A full attendance of the lead
ing figures of the church is expected,
including Archbishop Reane, who has
come from Rome to attend the annual
gathering. The directors of the uni
versity hold their annual meeting at
the same time. 1t is understood that
the rchbishOps will deal with little
outside the routine affairs of the
church as there are no large questions
pending.
1t is said that the meeting will not
deal with the questions Of Catholic au-
thority in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. So far as Cuba and Porto
Rico are concerned, they are under an
established Catholic archbiShopric,
which will not be disturbed in any way.
The church authority is centered at
Santiago, that being the old capital of
the island and the archbishop of San
tiago has two suffragans, one at Ha-
vana and another in Porto Rico. The
bishops at the two latter points, as well
as the archbishop of Santiago will re-
main in control of Catholic affairs. The
purpose is to avoid upheavals such as
would result from a sudden change in
the governing powers of the church in
these quarters, so that no changes will
be made until they come about natural
Iy by death or retirement.
The Catholic authorities are expecting
early word from Rome as to the new
archbishop of Santa Fe. who takes the
place of Archbishop Chapelle, now at
New Orleans. The nominations for the
Santa Fe archbishopFic have been sent
to Rome, although the name selected
may be outside of those on the nom
mating list The recent death of the
bishop of Harrisburg leaves a vacancy
in that post which, however, will not
be filled for some time.

ment is concentrating upon the de-
voted head of Secretary Alger, and
Justly so. He is responsible for even
Shafter's follies, for Shafter is his
favorite, who was lifted bodily over
the head of Miles. But who is re-
sponsible for Alger? How came he to
be in place to divest our victories of
so much glory? Had he, like Miles,
won his way by exhibitions of merit to
the place he holds? Not at all. In
the civil war he wore the shoulder
straps of general, but his name long
remained on the records as deserter.
He became exceedingly wealthy, but
he did it by grabbing timber lands.
Every dollar of his millions represents
somebody else's sweat, not his own.
And he won his place in the cabinet
by contributing magnificently to Mark
Hanna's corruption fund.
Another instance of the outrageous
mismanagement finds its way to pub
lie notice even through the admins
tration organ, the Chicago Times
Herald. whose New York correspond
ent of today has this:
God spare the mothers. wives and
sweethearts of Illinois troops from
ever seeing the interior horrors of a
troop ship. The stories which the
returned soldiers are telling of nearly
all these government vessels make
the blood turn cold. Here is the Mo-
bile, which arrived last night with

were supposed to have provided every
comfort for the men, 10 troopers died,
a dozen more are at deaths door and
525 are sick. Malaria, typhoid fever
and dysentery are the complaints
attacking the men.
The officers of the Mobile admit
that the boat was overloaded, and in
consequence the sick and dying could
not be cared for as they ought to
have been Many soldier boy who
left Santiago on the Mobile with a
fair show for his life reached Gardi-
ner's bay past all hope. Who is to
blame for this? Where is the re-
sponsibility to be fixed? No one
knows, and no one in official circles
seems to care. Head officials shrug
their shoulders and petty officials
dodge. So rotten was the condition
of the Mobile on arriving that, al
| though the Seneca and the Comanche
were ahead of her, Mai. Young or

Mr.. POWERS STATEMENT.
Head of the Shoe Workers Tells of the
Existing Strike.


Rock Island, Aug. 20.-Editor Rock
ISLAND ARGUS: Will you kindly allow
me space in YOUR valuable journal to
make n statement so that the public
NAV understand the trouble that now
exists at the Rock Island shoe factory.
The company, Notwithstanding the
action taken by the Tri-City Labor
congress last Sunday, on representa-
tions of Mr.. Peaslee, the superintend-
emit. hold me personally responsible
for the difficulty now existing there,
and claim that l have been acting I'M
fairly and illegally since we were
organized, and that if l was out of
the way there would be an end TO all
trouble, and Immediately decided on
my discharge, thinking, no doubt,
that / would at once leave the city,
and there would be an end to the shoe
workers organization in this locality.
That such representations were made
/ have no doubt, from the fact that
Mr.. Harper, of the company, asked
me how long / thought the union
would last IF l was not here, when
l told him it would make no differ
ence as far as that was concerned, as
the employees did not organize until
they saw the necessity for it. They
seem to have a very small opinion of
the intelligence of their employees
when they give credence to
representations of that kind
that a body of "a could be
influenced by one member of that
body when their bread and butter was
at stake. The Tri-City Congress COM
mittee was given the same represen-
tations at a conference held for the
purpose of effecting a settlement, if
possible, and upon request was al
lowed to sit at our meeting on two
occasions, and l believe was satisfied
that no undue influence was eXerted
on my part. Everybody knows that
in every organization there are
committees selected or appointed to
perform certain duties, and in many
instances are victimiZed for so doing.
Feeling satisfied that l have done
nothing but what my duty required,
l am willing to place the matter be-
fore the enlightened sentiment of the
community, and believe the truth is
mighty and will prevail.
NJ F. POWERS,
President Boot and Shoe Workers
Union.
There is nothing particularly new
