England Hopes

The London Observer says of the critical
condition of Rudyard Kipling: 1.-The illness
of Rudyard Kipling is watched with deep
anxiety. Alike by his prose and verse he
has ministered growth to that deep and
strong imperial sentiment which, with his
extraordinary opportunities, he has stepped
forward as the mouthpiece His GONZALES
cense will be the universal hope of the
Engish-speaking race, for he has addressed
himself to our kinsmen of the Stars and
Stripes no less directly than to ourselves
as colonials. Kipling holds the glorious po-
sition of the worlds laureate to the Anglo
Saxon race. His White Mans Burden
appealed as forcibly to the United States
as did his 'Recessional to the people of
England"

eavy fur-lined overcoat in all sorts of
Weather and his imprudence in taking it
off when he became heated He was re-
peatedly warned that he was unnecessarily
exposing himself and advised to get a
lighter garment to wear as, the weather
became milder but he would start out in
the morning with his fur coat, wear it
until he was thoroughly heated and per-
spring, when he would take it off and
carry it on his arm until he was chilled.
Then he would put 1t on again and say
unpleasant things about our climate.
He was taken sick last Monday. He
was to have been guest that night at the
annual banquet of the Southern society in
New York. On Tuesday night Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Underwood Johnson, of the
editorial STAFF of the Century Magazine,
had invited party, including Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Watson Glider, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
d. Howells, Prof. and Mrs. William NJ
Sloan, Mrs. Custer, Nicola Tesa and
others, to met him. The last time he was
out was at little dinner given him by
MI. Burlingame, editor of Scribner's Maya
zine, and after wearing his fur-lined over
coat part of the way home and finding it
too heavy for comfort he imprudently took
1t Off and carried 1t on his arm, although
his evening dress was of much lighter ma
terial than he wore in the daytime.
A great deal has been said about Mr..
kipling's eccentricities, and his rudeness to
people who showed desire to lionize him..
Those who know him well tell me this is
due entirely to diffidence; that he is as
bashful as country boy and is never him.

entirely composed of his own poems, that

was going on. He emphatically declined to
do so, and with an abruptness which his
hostess and the other guests considered
very rude, bolted from the house and went
home OF course his behavior caused a
sensation but his intimate friends say he
was simply frightened. Strangers, how
ever, considered it one of the eccentricities
of genius.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-With the ar
rival of Professor Worcester tomorrow
night or Wednesday morning all the mem
bers of the Philippine Commission except
General Otis will have assembled IN
Washington and a meeting of the COM
mission will be held, 1t is thought some
time Wednesday.
1t IS the Presidents desire that the COM
mission get 10 work without further de-
lay. He intends to treat extensively the
Philippine situation in his forthcoming
message to Congress and he will depend
in a large degree upon the report OF the
commission for material.
II Is apparent from the renewed activity
in military operations In the Philippines
within the last ten days that General
Otis proposes to strain every effort to
bring the insurrecton TO an early close.
Thus, under the Presidents direction,
while the soldiers are subduing Aguinaldo
the Philippines commission will be en-
gagged in formulating suggestions to be
enforced by Congress for the treatment
of the islanders hereafter.
1t is known that the members of the
commission, and Admiral Dewey especial
ly, are impressed with the ability of
some of the Filipinos for self-govern-
ment In the Island Of Negros self-gov-
ernment already Is in force to a consid-
erapie degree, ana the natives are prdc-
tically conducting municipal and local
affairs with little aid from the Americans.
They appreciate the benefits which
Americans propose to give them and are
anxious even now to assist the Ameri-
cans TO bring the rebellious Tagals to
terms, which will insure peace throughout
the archipelago.
The natives of the islands of Negros.
Cebu and Panay are reported to be pro-
gressive. They were less directly under
the Spanish domination than Luzon, on
account of their isolation, and had more
opportunities for mana ging their own af-
fairs than were given the Tagals
There seems to be little doubt the COM
mission will recommend that the most
liberal form of self-government possible
under the general policy of this country
regarding the Philippines shall be given
the residents of Cebu, Panay and Negros.

FATHER McCABE
CALLED BY DEATH
Priest Who Freed John
Boyle O'Reilly.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


ST. PAUL. Mimi, Oct. pa Waseca
(Minn.) special says: Rev. NJ. P. McCabe,
the well-known Roman Catholic clergy
man, died on Saturday evening of Bright's s
disease at st. Mary's, a small mission
near Waseca. His death recalls an eX-
plot in which he was a conspicuous fac
tor. 1t was Father McCabe who was in
strumental in Hberating the political pris-
oner, John Boyle O'Reilly, who afterward
became the noted American poet.
o Kelly was detected propagating Fe-
nianism in England. He was arrested
and sentenced to penal servitude. 1t hap
pened that Father McCabe was stationed
at the Australian prison as chaplain. To
him O'Reilly confded his intention Of
making his escape The priest offered to
aid him. On dark night in 1869 the two
met by appointment and the priest and
the prisoner exchanged clothes. In this
disguise OReilly departed in an open boat
without food or drink.
After three days of terrible exposure to
the perils of the sea O'Reilly was picked
up by an American whaler and carried
to Liverpool. Thence he made his way
quickly to the United States.
The priest reported to the prison offi-
cials that he had been waylaid by the
convict, who compelled him to make the
exchange of clothes. When the truth
leaked out later on Father McCabe was
obliged to make a hasty departure from
Australia. He came to this country and
applied to Bishop Ireland for charge in
this diocese about eighteen years ago. He
has remained in Minnesota ever since.

RETAIN ATTORNEY BoARDMAN
BY TELEGRAPH.
He Visits the Prisoner at the City

peal to the Federal Court.

The indications are that before the Ne
vada authorities succeed in getting Victor
Bouton over their State line they will
have a spirited legal battle on their
hands, for the young mans sisters, Made
line and Mabel, the famous actresses,
though far away, have been apprised of
their brothers unfortunate predicament,
and yesterday Attorney Louis 2. Board
man received telegraphic communication
from them to take the case in hand and
prevent If possible Bouton's eXtradition
to Nevada.
Boardman visited Bouton at the City
Prison last night and informed him of
the wishes of his sisters, and this after
noon the attorney will probably appeal
to the Federal court to prevent Deputy
Sheriff Taylor from taking the prisoner
back to Winnemucca to be tried for
cattle-stealng.
Attorney Boardman has known Made
line and Mabel Bouton since their girl
hood days In fact. they attended the
same school and made mud pies together,
so he was not surprised when he received
messages from them yesterday delegat-
ing him to take up Victors case and spare
no expense in fighting it to a successful
issue At present the beautiful Madeline
is starring with her company in Ger
many and Mabel is playing an engage
ment in New York.
