BISHOP WATTERSON DEAD
One of the Most: preIafeS
in the Catholic Church.

Columbus. o. April 1.-THE RI
Rev. John A. Watterson, bishop of
Columbus, died Suddenly at his home
here this morning.
John Ambrose Watterson was one
of the best known Roman Catholic
bishops IN the United States and had
been especially active in educational
matters for many years. H.s allied
himself with what has been termed
the American party Of his church be-
ing a co-worker with Archbishops
Ireland and Keane in combating
European influences in the church in
America. Bishop Watterson was born
at Bl3iTsville, Indiana county, Penn
sylvania, May 27, 1914, and after grad
uating at Mount st. MaIys college,
Emmitsburg. Maryland, in 1865
studied for the priesthood ard was or
dained in 1868. He was then appointed
a professor in Mount St Marys and
continued there till 1877 when he was
made Bishop OF Columbus, his
conservation taking Face August
s of that year Bishop Watterson by
his great force of character soon be
came a noted man of k.s church and
his influence in the state of Ohio was
much felt. He founded a college in
Columbus in 1884 which has become
cne of the foremost church colleges in
the country.
Bishop Watterson attained national
prominence 10y taking advanced
ground on the temperance question
In 1898 he promulgated his famous de-
cree, barring liquor dealers from
membership in Catholic societies and
instructed the priests of his diocese to
refuse absolution to saloon keepers
who carried on their business in vio-
lation of the civil law, unless they
ceased offending

London, April 17.-In the house of

said authority had been given the Brit
ish representative at Apia to join, if
he deemed it advisable, in the Joint
proclamation with other ccnsuls call
ing upon the inhabitants to abstain
from hostilities pending the arrival of
the Samoan commissioners. But, he
added, her majesty's commanding Off
Ger would be compelled tc take steps
to protect British lives and property
should these be threatened by either
OF the rival factions Continuing, Mr..
Broderick said the telegraphic reports
received do not afford sufficient matter
from which to judge the cause of the
recent hostilities, but so far as ascer-
talnable the action of the United States
and British naval commanders was
caused by some aggression against
British subjects or United States citi-
zens or their property, which they
were bound to defend

QUAY IS HARD nIT
Expert accountant on the
Stand Yesterday.
Ceriiftes that the Bank Books Show
Interest on Quay'S Loans AmOuf-
ed to 81 .z95, But He Only Pal d
$3.50 Interest.

Philadelphia, April 17.-Mayer Cod
smith, the comm expert ac-
countant, was on the stand all day to-
day in the trial of ex-senator Quay
making statements of facts that are
apparently damaging to the defend
ants side of the case. Goldsmith is
the main witness for the prosecution
and it is through him that all Of the
documentary evidence is to be pre-
sented. This witness has examined
the bank books thoroughly and came
into court this morning with a num-
Der of typewritten sheets containing
figures that he gathered from the vari-
Gus books relating mainly to the de-
posit of the state treasurer and the
account Of Senator Quay.
He swcre to the correctness Of bis
work and then the district attorney
formally offered the paper in evidence.
This was objected to by the defense cn
the ground that such a paper is not
testimony. 1t was insisted that the
books themselves should be placed be-
fore the witness and his statements
uttered from what he saw entered in
them
Judge Biddle decided in favor of the
defense, thus giving that side ths first
comfort it has experienced since the
trial began. While the defense has
apparently gained this point, the paper
was practically in evidence, Witness
Goldsmith using it's contents in fram
ing his answers to the district attor-
ney's questions. When the Quay law
yers objected to this they were met by
the judges explanation that while the
paper could not be used as sworn evi-
dence the witness might use it Ia re-
fresh his memory. One effect of all
this was to make it certain that the
case will now go to the jury, there
having been some doubt on this point
up to the decision to admit all that
Goldsmith might have to say.
Goldsmith testified that during the
period ending April 80, 1897, interest
on Senator Quay's loans amounted TO
s1,49298. but he paid only $236. .25.
Objection was made G. the witness
stating such deductions, but the court
ruled them admissible

Gallant Work of a Detachment of

Washington, April 17.-Gene-al VIII
son, chief Of engineers. has received
an extract from the report of Col.
James Smith, First California in
fantry, relating to routing the insur-
gents in the suburbs of Manila in Feb
ruary, which refers especially to de-
tachment of engineers in the Philip
pines:
Intervals were then extended to the
right, and Company A CT the First
California volunteers, on the right
flank, reverted to meet, as far as pos
sible, the threatened attempt upon the
flank, so that safe advance might be
made, but at this moment Captain w.
G. Ham, with a company of engineers.
came up on the right flank, and with
splendid volleys and magnificent
steadiness drove back that portion of
the enemy who were seeking a clump
of trees to make a flank attack, at the
same time dislodging a small detach-
ment already there, who had retreated
to that point under the fire of Captain
Dyer's battery"
This advance, it is found, was
initiated by Lieutenant Ham without
orders. In his own report of the affair
he says: '"The engineers are fighters

Honolulu, April II.
Henry Smith, chief clerk of the su-
Preme court, has addressed a note to
the board of registration giving it as
oath to the republic of Hawaii is OBJ

requirement does not mention the
United States in any way. Immedi-
ately following annexation last Au-

officials took an oath prepared by the
judiciary department under the direc-

NEITHER SCORED A VICTORY.
Agreement for Samoan Commission
Due to Fear of War.

Washington, April 1.-THE secre-
tary OF state in conversation today said
that neither of the three powers to the
treaty of Berlin had scored a victory
in the arrangement CT the Samoan
matter. All three were, he believed.
actuated by the same desire to reach a
peaceable ami honorable solution OF
the state of Things, which was not only
degrettable at this time, but likely, if
neglected, to go rapidly from bad to
worse.
Mr.. Bartlett Trip, United States
representative on the Samoan COM
mission, telegraphed to the depart
ment that he will arrive in Washing
ton today. He will be thoroughly in
structed as to the course he is to pur-
sue and will be equipped with all the
records of the department necessary to
a full understanding of the history Of
the United States relations with Sa-
moa Mr. Trip will start from Wash
ington on the 18th inst for San Fran
cisco to take passage on the Badger
for Apia.
The general impression in diplo-
matic circles seems to be that the ulti-
mate outcome Of the present contro-
versy will be a new order of things in
Samoa. All this fuss over king
whose wife acts as laundress for the
consuls and whose salary is less than
that of a laborer in one of the depart
ments in Washington, seems to be alb
surd and yet there are various diplo-
matte reasons why the islands should
be maintained in their present state.
So far this country is the only one
having absolute territorial rights in
the Samoan group, and these rights
are cf very little value or have been up
to date The United States through
the treaty which was negotiated in
1877 controls the harbor of Pago Pago
and established a coaling station there
upon which some twenty or thirty
thousand tons of coal were
dumped years ago and allowed to slack
and become OF no value. In fact, it is
asserted by those who have been in
Samoa that the natives stole most Of
the Jumps which had not deteriorated
and used them as paving blocks for
their houses. Neither England nor
Germany has any foothold upon any
island of the Samoan group. The
probabilities are that as a result of the
row which was started by Consul Rose,
that superserviceable German repre-
sentative. there will be no more kings,
oil Il Germany
America will divide the territory
among them, each acquiring such por-
ton as it may deem necessary.
