The ARCHBISHOP ireland
AT THE CAPITAL OF THE CzAR


New York, Dec. 27.-A dispatch to the
Journal from Washington says:
Archbishop Ireland will represent the
United States at the cars peace congress
The president has had the subject un.
der advisement for several weeks, and ac.
cording to the best authority it may be
said the decision was recently reached
the archbishop having agreed to accept
the appointment.
Ever since his induction into office the
president has been anxious to testify his
appreciation of Ireland's republicanisn
which took the form of strong interviews
and speeches during the campaign of 1896
and OF his mental gifts and learning. The
cars call for an international peace con-
gress at which his proposed universal
disarmament is to be discussed, has pre-
sented exceptional opportunity to honor
Ireland in an illustrious manner. As the
representative of the United States in
such an assemblage, his position would
comport with the dignity of ecclesiastical
office while not interfering with its duties.
owing to the temporary character Of the
political appointment.
Aside from the pleasant effect such a
designation would have upon large pro-
portion of the population of this country.
it is assumed the United States would
gain prestige among Catholic nations
represented at this congress, as well as
achieve for the president reputation for
good taste in selecting for peaceful mis-
sion professional messenger of peace
and goodwill.
1t is not yet known whether the arch.
bishop will be the sole representative Of
the United States or whether he will head
a delegation Of three or. five representa-.
tiyes,

Mr.. Davis Tribute to Lieut.. Tiffany.

Mr.. Davis Tribute to Lieut.. Tiffany.
wish to speak of one Of the Rough
Riders whom knew but slightly, but
whom I saw constantly about the camp
and on the march, and whom / admired
more as a soldier than almost any other
man in the regiment. This was Sergeant
Tiffany, who, by tradition, and previous
environment, was apparently the least
suited Of men to perform the work he
was ordered TO do. But he played the
part given him as well as it could be
played. He was the ideal sergeant, strict
in discipline to himself and to others, do.
ing more than his share of the days work
sooner than leave the work ill-done, never
STOPPING to curry favor from his men,
but winnig 1t by force of example and
smiling with the same cheerful indiffer-
ence when an intrenching tool made his
hands run with blood, or a Spanish bull.
let passed through his hat, as one did
when he charged the block.house at San
Juan. He stood at salute and took his
orders from men with whom he had been
for many years college-mate, recogniz.
ing in them only his superior officers, and
there was not q mule skinner or COW
puncher in the regiment that did not rec
ognize in him something Of himself and
better than himself. When Roosevelt
promoted him to lieutenancy for brav.
cry at the battle Of San Juan, heard
him say:
Tiffany, I am especially glad to give
you this step, because you are about the
only man who has never by sign or word
acted as though he thought he deserved
promotion. There are some who are al
ways very busy whenever pass, and
who look at me as though they meant To
say, See how humble 1 am, and how
strictly 1 attend to my duties. You who
know how important man am at
home will surely recognize this and make
me an officer But you have never acted
as though you expected to be anything
but sergeant all your life, and you have
done your work as though you had been
sergeant all your life, and SO I am glad
Of this chance to make you lieutenant" "
