PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 24.-At the
banquet to be given next Thursday
evening at Delmonico's by the New
York Democratic club, Grover Cleve-
land will be the guest of honor. In
his speech he will outline new ma
tional policy for the Democratic party
the keynote of which will be anti-im-
perialiSm and anti-eXpansion. The cur
rency question, it is asserted, is to be
relegated to the background in large
measure as a question already prac-
tically settled by popular decree. 1t
will be held that the future of this ma
ton hinges on the right settlement Of
the questions dealing with territory &C
quired during the recent war. and that
this settlement can rightfully be only
upon the basic fact government only
by consent of the governed
The most prominent men in the
Democratic party are expected to at
tend the banquet. 1t is understood that
all are eager to have Mr. Cleveland
point out the path to party salvation,
and that many of them are ready in
advance to accept his views. Mr..
Cleveland in the quietude of Princeton
life has been keeping a watchful eye
upon national issues. He has been
greatly moved by the issues arising
from the war and is pithily on record
as being unalterably opposed to the
doctrine of territorial EXPANSION

CATHOLICS In ACCORD
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, OF ST.

SENDS THE POPE A LETTER
Thanks Him on Behalf of Catholics
in America for Having Made
Clear the Duty of Faithful Menu
bers of the Church--TifIe Gamer
op Repudiates Such Principles.

ROME, Feb. 24.-The Observatory
Romano today publishes the text of a
letter from Archbishop Ireland to the
pope regarding the pontiff's letter to
Cardinal Gibbons on 'Americanism."
The archbishop thanks the pope for
this proof of his esteem and love for
American Catholics, and says that
now that the pope has shed light on
the situation misunderstanding will
cease, for we are now able to deter
mine the fault which some desire to
conceal under the name of American
ism, and define true Ainericanism, such
as understood by Americans" Con-
tinuing, the archbishop says:
The distinctions and explanations contained
in the apostolic letter are so clear and pre-
else that the peril which was not understood
by all of the people of the United States, but
which l thought was to be feared, can no
longer present itself. In view of the extraor-
binary confusion of ideas, and controversies
raised, especially in France. by the life of
Father Hecker. there was need for the SUI
prerne pontif to make Is voice heard in
order to enlighten and tranquilize the peo-
pies minds. " ts
With all the energy of my soul / repudd-
ate all the opinions the apostolic letter re-
pudiates and condemns those false and dan
gerous opinions whereto. his holiness in brief
says, certain people give the name of Ameri-
canism.
l repudiate and condemn them categoricslly,
like His Holiness, with all the more prompti-
tude and joy inasmueh as my Catholic faith
and my comprehension of the teachings and
practices of the church have not permitted
me to entertain such extravagances.
The whole episcopate of the United States,
In their own name and In the name Of their
focks. are ready to repudate and condemn
them. We cannot but be indignan, that such
wrong is done us, our bishops, our faithful
and our nation as to designate by the name
OF Americanism such errors and extrava-
gances.
Most holy father, they are enemies Of the
church in America and false interpreters of
the faith who imagine there exists or who
desire to establish in the United States a
church differing q single ota from the holy
universal church, recognized by other ma
tons as the only church Rome itself recog-
nizes or can recognize rs the infallible guar
dian of the revelation OF Jesus Christ.

the pope to accept his assurances OF love and
devotion, and to give him the apostolic bless

conclusion reached was that too much
Importance should not be attached to

1t is suggested from other naval
sources that Admiral Dewey wants the
Oregon to release a number Of the
smaller ships of the fleet for other

GERMAN PHANTOM.
1t Is Again "A Disturbing Feature OF
the Philippine Situation.

NEW YORK, Feb. PA special from
Washington says Admiral Dewey's
urgent request for the immediate pres
ence of the battleship Oregon at Manila
for political reasons" is taken as an
indication that he is not entirely salts
fled with the attitude of other foreign
warships in that vicinity. It is not
for an instant presumed that he would
have any use for so formidable a YES
sci as the Oregon in operations against
the rebels. as her deep draft would pre-
vent her near approach to the shore
and her big ammunition would be
wasted for any other target than an
enemy's battleship Of any but her own
type and class. 1t is believed there
fore, that Admiral Dewey is suspicious
of the Germans.

TRIBUNE FIRE OF 'o9.
Holocaust of Ten Years Ago Is Wv
idly Remembered.


idly Remembered.
1t is nearly ten years since the
Tribune suffered it's last baptism of
fire just across Fourth street from its
present location.
Saturday night. Nov. 80. 1889. at 1920
o. M, was discovered the fire which
cost seven men their lives and prop
erty loss of about 100000 On that
occasion the fire was confined to the
tall seven-story structure in which it
started, but ere it was eXtinguished the
host Of employees and others in the up
per floors of the building had many
hairbreadth escapes from death in
making their way out of the building.
The men killed were:
Prof Edward Olson, president of the
University of South Dakota, at YER
million, S. D., who was visiting DR..
Albert Shaw, then associate editor of
the Tribune, but now connected with
the Review of Reviews. Mr. Olson was
a BROKER of S. E. Olson. the big dry
goods merchant, whose store at l a. m.
this morning was singularly enough
menaced by this later fire.
E. NJ S. Pickett, assistant city edi-
tor. Minneapolis department Pioneer
Press
w. H. Millman, market editor Trib-
une.
w E. Miles and James Igoe, AssO-
ciated Press operators.
E. ]. Jenkinson and Robert Nc
Cutcheon, compositors.
The fire on that occasion started in
a small room on the third floor, which
had recently been vacated by the Re
publican state central committee. Sec
rotary Bixby had left lot of campaign
circulars and pamphlets and printed
matter in the rooms, which served as
finder, and the building, although
supposed to be of the SLOW burning"
construction, was a rapid prey to the
flames.
The wooden stairway in this build
ing ran at one side of the elevator
shaft, and this route of escape was
cut off early in the progress of the fire,
compelling the four score people in
the topmost floors to seek safety via
the fire escapes and the extension lad
ders of the fire department, which ar
rived a short time after the outbreak
of the fire, but while the loss of life
was greater on that occasion, the prop
erty loss was probably smaller than

NEW YORK, Feb. 24-(Spectal)-
Specials from Washington indicate
desire on the part of the administra-
ton officials to evade direct explana-
ton of the meaning of Admiral Dewey's
cablegram asking that the battleship
Oregon be hurried to Manila for po-
litical reasons. 1t is known that the
foreign residents of Manila are greatly
disturbed at conditions there, and it is
thought that they may Jointly ask
their respective governments to afford
them some sort Of relief During the
street fighting In Manila several nom
combatants were shot, and the effect
upon Europeans is decidedly depress-
ing. The belief is expressed that there
is cause to apprehend remonstrance if
not plain protest from European pow
ers against continuance of the reign
Of terror that has prevailed In Manila

Nature VS.. Nonsense.

In firm conviction that human will
dominates the forces of nature, a man
jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, ex-
pecting to descend as slowly and gent
ly as he might "will'' to the water be-
low.
He didn't kill himself, but for that
thanks are not due to will but solely
to those laws Of nature which he
sought to defy. His fall was at the
precise velocity prescribed by the laws
OF gravitatlon Another and a kindly
law of nature which makes water cas-
lily penetrable saved his life. In strict
accordance with still another law of
nature he got himself very wet
when he fell into the water. Another
law OF nature enabled him to come to
the surface and enabled boat to float
him to shore.

the magic of folderol encounters the
magic of science "the magic of fold

Why MAY 80 Was Chosen,

Some special writers in discussing
the origin of Decoration Day have got
the facts somewhat mixed. 1t was
not Gen. Grants suggestion. The
idea originated among the women of
Maryland who put flowers on the
graves Of the dead OF both Federal
and Confederate long before the sur
render of Appomattox.
In 1869 Gen. John A. Logan, as Com
mander-ln-Chlef of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, appointed May 80 for
what was at first called Memorial Day.
but was later changed to Decoration
May 80 is said to have been selected be-
cause it corresponds with the date Of
the last honorable discharge given a
soldier of the Union Army in the war
between the States.-Chlcago News.

hang over his line first giving notice
to the neighbor of his intentions, that
tne owner may chop them himself if

belong to the owner of the tree, and

ArboricuItural Hints.
SETTING TREES.

Trees should not be set with lot of
broken roots. Prune away all broken
parts, leaving clean surface. Prune
from the under side of the root. The
soil cannot be trod in too much. The
closer it is to the tree the better its
chances for living. An inch or two of
soh kept loose all summer is of great
to 1t.
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-06-03
CULTIvATING TREES.

All trees, whether fruit or ornamen-
tai ones, should be cultivated for sew
eral years to have them do their best,
To let the grass grow up around them
is very poor practice indeed. Not only
are the trees robbed of food, but the
benefit of cultivation is lost to ohem as
we.. I.eep the soil stirred rom
spring to early fall.
GRAPES FAILING TO RIPEN.
The failure of grapes to ripen prop
erly is often not that the punches are
not exposed to the sun, for this is not
requisite, but usually because there is
some injury to the foliage. With
healthy foliage the fruit will ripen,
even though the leaves keep every ray
of sun from it. Fruit wrapped in
paper bags rlpen just as well as those
not so treated.
