IRELAND FOR PEACE DELEGATE
ARCHBIsHoP's REWARD FOR
CAMPAIGNING FOR MKINLEY.
Roman Catholic Prelate to Represent
the United States to the Cars
Peace Congress.

New York, Dec. ga dispatch to the
Journal from Washington says Arch
bishop ireland will represent the United
States at the cars peace congress. The
president has had the subject under adj
visement for several weeks and, Accord
ing to the best authority, it may be said
that a 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 Archbishop Irelands Re-
publicanism. 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 congress, at which
his proposed universal disarmament is to
be discussed, has presented an eXcep-
tional opportunity to honor Archbishop
Ireland in an illustrious manner.
AS the representative of the United
States in such an assembIage, his posi-
ton would cornport with the dignity of
his ecclesiastical office, while not inter-
fering with its duties, owing to the tenn
porary character of the political appoint
ment.
Aside from the pleasant effect that such
a designation would have upon a large
proportion of the population of this coun-
try, it is assumed that the United States
would gain prestige among the Catholic
well as achieve for the president repu-
tation for good taste in selecting for a
peaceful mission a professional messenger
of peace and good will
1t is not yet known whether the arch
bishop will he the sole representative of
head a. delegation of three or five repre-
SentatiVeS from this country

ment Allotment Plan.

Spokane Wash, Dec. 26.-The gov
eminent has run against a snag in al
lotting lands in severalty on the Colville
Indian reservation, peopled by 900 IN
dams. Indian Agent Anderson and Al
lotting Agent Harry Humphrey have
been trying for some time to allot the
lands, but have met with resistance,
the Indians being opposed to surveys
and allotmentS unless the government
pays them for the land, as the Nez
terces and Occur d'A!enes were said
for theirs. There are about 100000
acres on the reservation, and the con-
tention of the government is that the
Indians have no title to it. The gov
eminent proposed to allot eighty acres
10 each Indian in seYeralty and give
them nothing more. The Indians, led
by Chief Aura Paghuin and Chief Ber-
nard. demand that they be paid about
81. SEQ coo, claiming this under the re-
port of commission which examined
into the matter some time after the
reservation was set apart by President
Grants proclamation in july, 1872. a
truce has been secured on the promise
that the two chiefs Will be taken to
Washington this winter by Agent An
derson to see the president. Under the
truce surveys are proceeding.

of the great Brighams progeny, but he
is one to get a great deal of advertis

said, appear before the house COM
mittee in opposition to Roberts. If the
case is brought up at all it will be re-
ferred to a special committee, as the
committee on elections is clearly with
out jurisdiction in the matter of ex-
pulsion.
All the extremists now admit that
the only possible procedure against
Roberts would be to undertake his eX-
pulsion. 1t can also be said that the
very men who are talking of bringing
the case to the notice of the house are
entirely without hope of success. They
desire to make as much commotion as
possible, in the hope of embarrassing
the members who Will vote against eX-

in Eugene Young's addresses in New

When asked what he thought Of the

had always believed such an increase
Tygs necessary.
I'VE need a standing army of at
least $1,000 men here in the United

have acquired these new territories. We
shall need a few more. But. in my be-
lief, $4,000 men are ample and sufficient

Finished By Jack waldron In Four
teen Rounds.

Trenton, N J., Dec. 26.-"Black''
Critic was defeated this afternoon at
the Trenton Athletic club in the four
teenth round by Jack Waldron. The
men fought at catch-weights. The early
part of the contest was very scientific,
and Waldron showed the most skill.
In the ninth round Critic began to
force the fighting, and apparently tired
himself out Waldron had Critic en-
tirely at his mercy in the thirteenth
and fourteenth rounds, and hit him at
viii.
At the end of the fourteenth round
Critic staggered to his corner, and at
the call of the gong for the fifteenth
round he failed to respond. The de-
cision was, of course, gwen to Wal
dron. About 1,50O people witnessed the
contest.

Several Killed As Result of Cuban
Demonstrations.

Chicago, Dec. ga censored special
cable to the Tribune from Havana
says: Rioting began at Montserrat to-
night. A battalion of Spanish troops
hurried from the barracks on the Prado
to Galiano street, the dividing line be-
tween Cuban and Spanish territory
Order was restored. but in the firing
which occurred before the troops ar
rived an 8-year-old Cuban child was
killed By a stray bullet.
Spanish territory in the new world is
now limited to a narrow strip of land
between Havana, harbor and GalianO
street The flags of Cuba Libre and
the United States are waving within
two blocks of the PradO. a great boule-
ward which runs through the center of
Havana.
Montserrat having been evacuated,
the place was alive today with Cubans
and people from the United States.
The scene enacted at Cerro and Veda-
do last week, and at Jesus del Monte
yesterday, was repeated at MoneSerrat-
There was even a greater demonstra-
ton, for MOntSerrat comes almost to
the city. Some of the flags leaped
across the dividing line and waved on
the Spanish side.
Many Americans went over to see
the demonstration. They did not re-
main long. Owing to the intense en-
thusiasm, the populace insisted on kiss
ing the "brave AmericanOs," whether
theyfwanted to De kissed or not.
Several ARRAYS took place between
the Spanish residents and the Cubans.
A grocery keeper on OquendO street
refused to put out the Cuban cOlors,
and was beaten almost to death with
sticks. As evening came on, the dem
onstration became nOisier than ever, as
many of the negroes parading were
drunk and greatly excited. The Amer
leans became fearful of another clash
with the Spanish troops like that which
ushered in Christmas day.
Francisco Quintero. a. Spanish vol
unteer, patroling the street near the
Prado. was fired at from a housetOp
and killed. A Cuban was killed in an
other part of the city. Half a dozen
Cubans and Spaniards were shot or
stabbed in ARRAYS about the city.
There was a fight between CubanS
and Spaniards in front of the United
States club at midnight. Several of
the participants were badly cut with
machetes.
Many American soldiers who were in
town behaved so boisterously that Gen
eral Ludlow says he is sorry that they
were permitted to come into Havana,
and in future none will be permitted,
except on strictly military business.
