WILL CONFORM
TO CONDITIONS

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Archbishop Ire
land has given the first definite infor-
nation reg irding the policy of the Ro-
man Catholic church in Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines. It. includes
approval of the administration plan of
leaving the church question out OF
peace discussions and announces that
the church in the islands will conform
to new condition
He says: when the dominion OF the
United States is fully established the
church will come under the same laws
that will govern this country and be
parted from the state the same as II
is now i'm America"
Whether the ecclesiastical jurisdic-
ton of CARDINAL Gibbons shall be ex-
tended TO cover at least part OF
Americas new possessions, according
TO Archbishop Ireland. Is still a matter
for the holy father to decide. and at
present no American prelate knows
what will be done.
The archbishop declared that the
present personnel OF the clergy i'm the
islands will be undisturbed. He has
been attending the opening exercises at
Notre Dame and learned upon his ar
rival in Chicago that talk OF an eccie-
siastical commission had been publish
ed.
tThere will be no commission from
America to investigate the church in
Cuba. Porto Rico or the Philippines,
he said. ANY statement that there
Will lis false and unfair TO the clergy in
our new possessions. The spanish
priests will not be requested to retire
for the reason that they, better than
any one else. know what is needed under
the new conditions, and can bring about
n change much more easily than any
commission that might be appointed.
The clergy i'm the islands is made up OF
men of intelligence and tact They
will attend to their own work and do II
well. None of our priests or bishops
could speak the language OF the people
and would be at loss TO do as much
as the men now at the head or the
church. You may say that the priests
of Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philip
pines will be I'm accord with American
ideas and progression. and they will
be left to bring about the necessary
change in their own way and IL will be
the best way"

SITUATION IS
VERY CRITICAL
Civil and Mil tary Au-
lhOTilieS at War
OVER THE DREYFUS CASE
Prosecution Of P.cquart Brings
Affair 10 an Acute Stage.
ZURLINDEN's PECULIAR COURSE.

Paris. Sept. 22.-The situation here is
generally admitted to be grave by both
press and people. The conflict between
the civil and military authorities is be-
coming acute. The sudden and unex-
pected action OF Gen. Zurlinden. the
military governor of Paris. in prosecut-
ing Col. Picquart on the charge of for
gerry and using forged documents. as
sumes a grave aspect on account OF the
circumstances attending this interven-
tion of the military authorities In a
civil court.
At the present moment, when the po-
litical atmosphere Is so charged with
dangerous electricity, generated by the
Dreyfus affair, the general, who has
just quilted the cabinet, defying civil
authority, takes without consulting his
successor or the premier. an important
step. In ordinary circumstances, the
military governor is empowered to act
independently, but, now that the Drey-
fus question has become a great, ma
tional matter, every proceeding in the
affair has state Importance. Gen. Eur
linden's ignoring of this obvious fact is
very significant. He comes forward as
the defender of the army, the prosecu-
tor of its supposed caluminatorsand
the direct opponent of a revision of the
case. From this to an appeal to the
public In the line of the establishment
OF dictatorship there Is no wide step.
The Soleli says that owing to yester-
days events, the cabinet at an informal
conference, discussed Gen. Zurlindens
action, and the Fronde even asserts
that the premier. M. Brisson, disavows
the measures taken against Picquart
which he says were instituted without
the knowledge of the cabinet.
The Radical makes bitter attack on
the general staff. which it charges
with aiming at the moral assassina-
tion OF Picquart through a secret mill
tary trial.
Henrie Rochefort in his paper the
Intransigeant, declares Picquart was
bribed by a syndicate or. by Germany
to save Dreyfus.
Juries. the socialist ca9uty, in the
Pete Republic. maintains that the gen.
eral staff of the French army cannot
now escape the full light of revision
of the Dreyfus case.

In REGULAR SERVICE.
Steamer B.rkshir. Resumes Her
Trips 10 Baltimore.
During the War With Spain She Was a
Governme nt Transport.

The steamer Berkshire of the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company having finished her work as
a government transport, has once more
returned to her old position as a pas
senger and freight steamer between
this city and Baltimore. During her
employment by the government the
Berkshire has done some very salts
factory work, and her commander Capt.
Dizer. has been deservedly compli-
mented for the manner in which he has
discharged his very responsible duties.
on April 20. the Berkshire left Nor
folk for Tampa. where she laid two
months, in company with 35 other
transports. June 13 she left Tampa
for Baiquiri. On board were Is off,
GERS, 300 soldiers and 1S5 horses of the
21st Infantry and batteries and II
of the regulars. With &c. other trans
ports the Berkshire proceeded SLOWLY
around the island of Cuba, arriving at
Baiquiri in 10 days. Here the cargo
of men and horses was safely landed,
and then the Berkshire laid OF Baiquiri
for 36 days, seldom anchoring. as there
was no harbor.
AT the time OF the destruction of
Cervera's feet, the Berkshire was eight
miles to the eastward Uf MOTTO Castie,
and the terrific noise of the great naval
battle was heard clearly, but good
view was not obtained, owing to the
heavy clouds of smoke. Two days after
the surrender of Santiago the Berk-
shire entered the harbor. and for the
next six weeks was employed as
transfer steamer. On August %, she
started for Montauk Point with 34S
sick soldiers on board, only three men
dying during the trip. The steamer ar
rived at Montauk, September l, and as
soon as the sick men were landed, the
Berkshire obtained her release from
the government.
She was at once taken to Baltimore.
where she was put upon the dry dock
and was at once put into proper shape
to once more resume her duties on the
line to Providence. Capt. Dizer has
brought back from Cuba several very
interesting souvenirs of the war.

THE LASTER'S STRIKE.


Brockton, Mass. Sept. 22.-The strik-
ing lasters maintain their firm attitude
and the manufacturers generally are
equally as determined in the fight over
prices. Conferences. however. are be-
ing held with several firms and the
union Is predicting settlements on
terms acceptable TO the strikers.
Secretary Cunningham added inter-
est to the contest by his attitude rec
ommending the men to return to work
pending negotiations. His declaration
resulted i'm his being stripped of all
power and will doubtless lead to his re-
moval from office.
Today he has come out with another
statement. defending his position and
explaining his policy. This controversy
between him and the unions has proba-

Avon, Mass, Sept. 22.-Following the
shut down of the l.. III. Littlefield shoe
factory yesterday afternoon owing to
a strike Of the lasters. the report be-
came current that the lasters intended
to return to work this morning but
they all remained away from the fac
tory
The threat Of Mr.. Littlefield to go out
OF business seems not to have seriously

though upon leaving the factory yes
terday all the operatives were instruct
ed to also take their effects.
Mr.. Littlefield Is known TO be ready
to meet the men for the consideration
of the question of the price list. but as
yet no definite step insthe direction has

THE BIDS BEFORE ALGER

A dispatch to The Herald from Wash
ington this morning says that Secretary
Alger is once more at his desk and the
work of tabulating the San Pedro har-
Dor bids for his inspection has begun.
1t is reported that the secretary has
decided to give the contract to the low
est bidder using land quarry stone
because of it's greater density" Now
this is a point for geologists and stone
contractors to decide unofficially, so to
speak. Officially the secretary will have
the say, and incidentally Uncle Coils
will have the hauling of the stone, if he
gets it. This may appear somewhat am
biguous, but to one who can tell hawk
from a hernshaw and see hole through
a milestone it is clear enough.
Our dispatches say, further that it is
now believed that the contract will be
awarded as soon as the senate passes the
sundry civil bill. Heaven be praised!
But the bill is not yet passed and our
rejoicing over San Pedro harbor has
been embalmed so often that it will keep
a few days longer. The outlook is GER
tainly brighter than it was a few days
ago,

LOS ANGELES AS A BASE

The chamber of commerce has chosen
an opportune time for a revival of the
demand for the establishment of a
twelve-company military post in this
city, and it's redesignation as military
headquarters. The possibility of for
eign war, remote as it may be, insures
more prompt consideration of an appeal
of this nature. upon the part of the
military branch of the government, than
lit might otherwise be able to command.
A very searching investigation into the
condition Of coast defenses, both on the
Pacific and Atlantic seafronts, the lakes
and the gulf, is now in progress, and the
war department is on the alert for any
and all information suggestive of a weak
point to be strengthened. an unprotected
line to be guarded.
The advantages of this city as base,
in the event of hostilities, are obvious.
Measurably unexposed to attack from
without. the center of ramifying sys-
tenn of rail transit, it would seem to be
an ideal place for the accumulation and
safe storage of munitions, as we'll as for
the mobilization of troops. Both nat
ural and artificial resources contribute
to it as such. and these cannot fail to
be recognized by the military authori-
ties of the government. once they are
effectively presented. as they may be by
the committee selected by the chamber
for the duty.
And while advantageous to the gov
ernment. the designation sought will not
be without it's benefits to Los Angeles
From the material as we'll as the senti-
mental point of view it would be a
source of pride and satisfaction, well
understood but not easily described.
Any efforts put forth by the chamber
of commerce will be sure to enlist the
active support of the entire community.
