CHURCH IDEAS PRESENTED
Reports Connected With Arch
bishop Ireland's Presence.
VIEWS FROM THE VATICAN
asumols to the Eject That the Pope
Ollie iayman of Great Learning
Appointed q Member Of the Peace
Com nmtssiOn.

The presence of Archbishop ireland
and w. Bourke Cochran in Washington
at this time has aroused considerable Gu
riosity. A report is current TO the ef-
feet that the Archbishop has requested
the President to appoint a representative
Roman Catholic layman on the peace
commission.
The argument made by Archbishop IRE
land Is said to be that as church and
state are so closely allied in the Spanish
colonies It would be only fair to have a
friend of the church. who is at the same
time a patriotic American citizen, on the
commission.
This representative should be spe-
ciacist dn ecclesiastical law. without being
a priest, and such a man is w. Bourke
Cochran. according to the Archbishop.
There will be property interests to adju-
dictate. the church in the Philippines be-
ing especially opulent.
1t is said that the suggestion came to
Archbishop Ireland from the Pope him
self, the American ecclesiastic being in
structed to lay stress on the fact that
there is no hope on the part of the Vati-
can that the religious orders of any ter
ritory which may be annexed to this
country. will continue to draw state rev.
enues.
The object is said to be simply to pre-
serve the civil and property rights of the
clergy.
This the Pope thinks can be done only
by a commission thoroughly informed as
to their present status.

IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE.
Iaduke's Penalty for killing q Sol

Laduke's Penalty for Killing a Sol
der in Porto Rico.
The following dispatch was received at
the War Department yesterday from Gen.
Gilmore, at Ponce. telling of the fate Of
Private Laduke. who killed a fellow SOL
dier named Stafford in brawi last week:
"Ponce. Porto Rico, Aug. Is. Adjutant
General, Washington: Replying to your
cablegram, Private Laduke has been con-
victed by court-martial for killing Private
Stafford; sentenced to life Imprisonment:
penitentiary at Leavenworth designated.
He is now under guard here awaiting
transportation. GILMORE,
"Brigadier General"
Laduke committed the only homicide of
the war, and he is the first man in the
army to receive a life sentence. 1t was
thought probable that he would be sem
fenced to death. though his crime was
not deliberate murder. 1t is supposed
that, peace having been declared without
one sentence of death, the authorities did
not care to break the record.

PENSION DECISIONS.

Two Opinions of the Commissioner
of Pensions Are Overruled.
Webster Davis. Assistant Secretary of
the Interior. rendered two decisions in
pension cases today in which he reversed
the action of the Commissioner Of Pen
sions
In one case. that of William Bouchat,
late of Company E, 12sth Pennsylvania
Infantry, wherein Assistant Secretary
Davis decides that, under the act of June
q, 1890 a claimants occupation alone
should not be taken into consideration.
but the nature of the cause of disability.
as 1t would affect any one who earns a
support by manual labor. is the issue
presented.
In this decision Secretary Davis says:
THAT in claimants declaration he states
that his trade and occupation Is that of
a boi.er-maleer. He asks for pension
because of the loss of the index finger
and rheumatism of his right hand. This
loss. In my judgment is a serious dis
abling cause to a carpenter. to a boiler
maker. to a machinist. to a gardener, or,
indeed, to any one engaged in manual
labor.
.DThen, the medical examinations show
considerable impairment of motion in
shoulders. due to rheumatism. and the
last examination rates for slight deaf
ness in both ears. These disabilities eff
feet, in a measure. the claimants ability
to perform manual labor; and. in con-
nection with the first disabling cause
mentioned. constitute. in my judgment.
an inability for the performance of man
ual labor sufficient to warrant rating un-
der the law"
The other case was that Of John s.
Davis. late Of Company H. Seventh Ohio
Infantry.
In this case 1t was decided that the re-
lection of the claim, based on a certif-
cate of examination, made by two sur
geons only, which certificate does not
contain claimants written waiver of ex-
animation by a full board and consent to
the examination made is erroneous.
