BISHOP CALLS FOR PEACE.
Command to All Catholics to Avoid
Violence and Obey the Law.

CLEVELAND, o., July 25.-Citizens OF
Cleveland, among whom the street car
strike is the chief topic OF conversation. to-
day added their comments to the address
issued by the Rt. Rev. Ignatius T. Horst
man, bishop Of the diocese of Cleveland.
The utterapces of the Catholic divine. a
man Of great influence among the people
of his denomination throughout Ohio, are
regarded as wildly expressive Of the situa-
ton here. and it is expected that his mes
sage pleading that the law be observed and
civic dignity upheld will result in the sub
DUNG of much of the violence which has
made the past week an epoch in local his
tory. The address follows:
ITO our beloved children of the laity, in
the city of Cleveland. greeting-As the
times are so perilous in our beloved city of
Cleveland. we are forced to publicly COM
nunicate our sorrow over the frightful
events of the last few days. No matter
what may have been the grievances of the
employees of the Cleveland Electric Rail-
way Company, no matter what may have
been your sympathy for the strikers. after
the outrages that have been committed,
after the terrorizing Of the inhabitants of
Cleveland and its suburbs. after the danger
to life and property which has followed.
after the violent resistance to the consti-
tuted civil authority, 1t is our sacred duty
to remind you all of your solemn obliga-
tions to Almighty God and Christians and
to your city and country as citizens, in this
emergency. Anarchy reigns. Riot and re-
bellion prevail The civil authority is de-
fed and openly resisted. The city Is ter
rorized by the mob and the militia must be
called out to preserve order. The fair fame
of our civ as a law-abidi community Is
in danger. Business has been paralyzed.
Visitors fear to enter our portals. Our own
citizens are In constant danger of their
lives
What, then. is your duty to God. your
duty in conscience, to your church, and
your country? 1t is to uphold the civil au-
thority; to obey the laws; to give no coun-
tenance to mob violence to show no SYM
pathy for those who in rebellion against
law and order. Avoid all crowds. Let not
idle curiosity lead you to mingle with those
who are thus disturbing the public peace.
For the reverend clergy We hereby direct
the collect pro quacucunque tribulatione'
to be rected in the mass, as pro re gravi
until the present dangers have. through
Gods mercy. been averted.
Brethren and dear children in Jesus
Christ We exhort. We entreat. we admonish.
nay. we command, you in the name of our
divine Master to hearken to this, our in
struction. and good children 10 cheer
fully obey. And the peace Of God. which
surpasseth all understanding. keep your
hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen

Brief Session Of the Cabinet to Clean
Up Business Before Mckinley's
Departure To-Day.
LATEST GOSSIP ABOUT OTIS
UNDERSTOOD HE WILL BE RETAINED
IN COMMAND AT MANILA.
At the Same Time There II an Under
current of Opinion that q Change
II to he Made.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The features of
the Cabinet meeting to-day were the fare
we'll of Secretary Alger and the presenta-
ton of his successor, Mr.. Root. Half an
hour after the Cabinet had assembled Mr..
Root appeared at the White House. He was
Immediately admitted and formally pre-
scented to those of his new colleagues whom
he had not met. His greeting was pleasant
and cordial. He remained out a few min
utes. leaving shortly after noon to catch
the train for New York. When he left the
White House he said he would return and
assume charge Of the War Department
Aug. 1. Shortly after Mr.. Root had left
General Alger made his adieus. He shook
hands with the President and each men,
Der OF the Cabinet. In saying farewell
there were many kindly expressions Of re-
greet and exchanges of well wishes. The
Cabinet remained in session about three
quarters Of an hour after General Ayers
departure. There was a general cleaning
UP Of little odds and ends preparatory to
the Presidents departure tomorrow.
The main topic discussed was the Alaskan
boundary line dispute. Secretary Hay ex-
planned the status of the direct negotiations
now in progress between himself and Mr..
Tower, the British charge. and said he was
not without hope that this vexed problem
would be solved by direct negotiation. Great
Britain now seems willing to consider the
proposal of the United States to give Cam
ada the privilege of q port Of entry into
the dominion while retaining absolute SOW
ereignty over the Lynn canal. and it is
around this sort of a proposition that the
hope of a settlement now hovers. The
speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir
Charles Upper came up incidentally, but
no serious attention was given them. Set
Element by direct negotiation will be the
easiest as we'll as the most satisfactory
method of this troublesome question, and
such settlement from the facts developed
at to-day's Cabinet meeting, is regarded as
by no means out of the realm of proba-
bility.
The Cabinet also considered an appeal
from Fort Wrangel. ALASKA. for help for
forty destitute miners arriving there over
the Edmonton trail. The government ad-
vices reported that over one hundred more
cases were to follow and, while there is no
specific appropriation that will cover the
case. the result off, discussion was that
means will be provided by the government
to get them to their homes.

For the Colonial Census.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The supervisors
who are to have charge of taking the census
in Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii will be
named soon. Director Merriam and War
Department officials are now corresponding
on this question. The last census taken
in Hawaii was In charge Of W. C. Weldon,
Of Honolulu, and his name, with several
others, is being considered for the super
visor of the coming census. Seven districts
are to be organized in Cuba, and the Presi-
dent, it is understood, already has selected
the men who will have charge of them.
The work In Porto Rico will not be so diff
ficult nor require so large force as in
Cuba. The utilizing of soldiers as census
enumerators is among the possibilities in
Porto Rico and Cuba. while in all three
groups interpreters will be essential. The
forms and instructions doubtless will be
issued from Washington, where In turn the
returns probably will be sent on account
of the superior facilities for counting. In
structions to supervisors will go out next
week and all Of them will be appointed and
at work before December, while the ap-
pointments of the thousands of enumerators
will be we'll in hand by midwinter.

these 21s were convicted and 293 are await
ing action of the courts. The acquittals
were less than "a per cent. OF seventy-nine
cases undetermined at the close Of the pre-
vious year sixty-four were convicted. New
York State led the years record with 9S
cases; Pennsylvania had a. Missouri SO,
Indiana A. Illinois 80, and so on down to one
each for South Dakota, Idaho and Missjs-
sippi. Neither Vermont, New Hampshire
nor Rhode Island had a case. There were
433 native-born Americans among the pris-
oners, 50 hailed from Italy, q from Ger
many, II from Ireland and from Greece.
The counterfeit money captured and Sc
cured consisted of s55,6S9 In notes and $40 77s
in coin, a total of $76,467. The list of cap
tured plates embraces some Of the finest
workmanship ever turned out by counter
letters, including those for the famous one
hundred-dollar Monroe head" silver certifi-
Gates and other one-hundred-dollar plates
also those for $50. $40, So S. and 81, the
latter including the Hancock and win
dom" heads, silver certificates, for which
the members of the division had vainly
sought for more than eight years and finally
captured in the hands of the johnson broth
ers at Detroit In August, 1898. There were
also the beautiful Notwithstanding
plates used by the Taylor and Jacobs gang.
The total number of captured plates was
267. There were also twenty-five dies for
striking gold and silver coins, and 413 molds
for the running Of spurious coin, the largest
number ever captured in single year.
Fifteen new counterfeit notes made their
appearance during the year. but of these
only two were considered dangerous, and
less than half dozen of these particular
notes ever got'into circulation. The report
touches briefly on the famous Philadelphia
case. and Chief Wilkie pays a tribute to
Operatives Burns. McManus. Murphy and
Griffin for their splendid work in connec-
ton with this particular case.
