MAY BE PLENARY COUNCIL.
But Reports That One Is Certain Not
Backed by Facts--Arohbishops
Soon to Meet.

WASHINGTON, July l0.-It is said at
the residence of the apostolic delegate
that the reports emanating in the west
that plenary council of the Catholic
church in America would be beld two
years hence are doubtless the out
growth of the we'll known fact that
these councils are held about every 20
years. and that two years hence will
mark the 20-year period from the time
of the plenary council of Baltimore
held in 1882.
The assembling of such a council is
an event of unusual importance to the
church, as it brings together the entire
hierarchy of archbishops and bishops to
frame the legislation of the church ap-
plicable to this country. Before it can
be held, however, there must be q due
determination by the authorities of the
country, and then direction from Rome,
for the assembling of the council
This procedure is not essential, yet
some such formal action is required and
in case a council is to be held in 1902,
1T is thought the coming meeting of the
American arChbishops, which is to be
held in Washington next October, might
consider the matter and frame a petit
ton to the vatican. 1t is not known,
however, whether such plan is being
seriously considered by the prelates,
and the report from the west is said to
be conjecture which may or may not
prove true.
Except that plenary councils are held
! every 20 years, and there is desire to
make this the established period for
their assembling, there is said to be no
special occasion for such an important
convocation of church authorities
The question of "Americanism, "
which has excited much attention, has
been disposed of finally by the letter
of the pope, and it is said this is not a
subject which could come before plen-
airy council. The condition of the
| church III Cuba and other Spanish
| American countries is working out sat.
isfactorily, and it is said this would not
| require attention FROM council, par
! ticularly as the Cuban, Porto Rican and
/ Philippine churches are still outside the
American hierarchy.
The new apostolic delegate to Canada,
| Archbishop Franconia, is well known
| to the church authorizes here, and the
appointment is regarded as an import
ant one owing to the position of the
| church in public affairs in Canada, par
tlcularly i'll the province of Quebec.
| Archbishop FranCOnia was brought up
! in Allegheny, Pa, and for some time
was connected with the Franciscan
fraternity there.

SOLDIERS IN A FLOOD.
Fearful Rains and Storms
About Manila.
THE BAY WAS NOT NAvIGABLE.,
Discharged Men on the Water Front
Can't Reach the Transport Water Ran
Under the Soldiers Bunks-EGorts to
Get Rebels to Desert.

MANILA, July 10, q. NIT has been
raining and storming almost constantly
for two days and the country along the
American south and bay lines is liter.
ally flooded. The soldiers are suffering
great discomfort. The Thirteenth in.
fantry regiment, at Pasay, is in the
worst position, being practically sur.
rounded by water. The bridges that
were used for getting supplies have
been washed away and some Of the
companies are separated by streams six
feet deep. In many cases the men are
sleeping with three feet of water be-
meath their hunks, which are elevated
on cracker boxes. The company cooks,
when preparing the meals, stand knee
deep i'll water.
Some of the roads leading to Pasay
are simply impossible, and the rice
fields on all sides are one great lake. A
high wind blew over several tents of the
Second reserve hospital.
Manila bay is impossible of navigation
by either launches or canoes and no YES
sells are leaving the harbor.
The United States transport Centen-
NAL is ready to sail for San Francisco
with discharged soldiers, but the latter
have to sit around the water front all
day, drenched to the skin, waiting for
launch TO take them to the steamer.
The river Paslg and all the other
streams are swollen, and the city streets
at low points are covered with water.
MANILA, July 6, via Hongkong, July
10.-Friendly Filipinos in Manila have
been the medium of communication be-
tween the American authorities and
the military leaders Of the insurrection
in Cavite province, which for some time
promised to result in bringing over
prominent general and several hundred
of his followers with their arms. If the
negotiations had succeeded the outcome
would have had great moral effect, for
other defections doubtless would have
followed. Were the generals name
given it might lead, in his case, to a fate
similar to that which has befallen other
Filipinos suspected Of friendliness to-
ward the Americans.
He had foreseen the failure Of the in
surrection and advised Aguinaldo to
make terms, but it is understood that
he has sent word to the Americans that
| having sworn to support the insurrec-
ton, he must remain loyal to the end.
Similar negotiations are said on good
| authority to have been conducted with
| O member of the socalled Filipino gov
ernmeut, who himself took the initia-
tive. Some form of money considera-
ton figured in the discussions with his
| friends. -

HORSE TRADE.
One Was Tired Of the Bargain
But the Other Would Not
Trade Back.

Sergeant Charles Riblet was called
to 4l0 Hane street, Saturday night to
settle some differences between two
Hebrew horse traders. M. Brabof,
who resides at that number, complain
ed to the officer that he had effected a
horse trade with neighbor on the
representation that the horse was safe
and sound. He alleges that the animal
turned out diseased and uncomfortable
and that he couldn't very we'll take
care OF him and he turned the horse out
80 that the former owner could trade In
return, as he was tired of his bargain.
The first owner OF the horse wouldn't
consent to do that, or return the trade
given him, and Brabof wanted the
officer to arrest him. No arrests were
made

DRIVER ASLEEP.
That is the Statement Made by
a Man Whose Rig Suf-
fered Damage.

William Miller, a resident of Miner
va, came nearly losing hislife Saturday
night in a runaway on Lawrence ave-
nue.. About 10 o'clock telephone call
requested that the patrol wagon be sent
to the Nimisilla park, stating that
man was lying on the roadway who had
been severely injured. Sergeant Chas.
Riblet and Supt. Romey responded
with the wagon and on arriving just
north of the park they found Miller ly-
iug in about three inches of mud, with
his head resting on horse blanket,
and without his hat Scattered around
him lay buggy cushion, sew
eral rubber covers and other articles.
The stretcher was spread in
the wagon and Miller laid
out thereon and conveyed to
the police station, where he COM
planned of oeirg injured, and DR.. e. d.
Brant was summoned to make q crit.
ical examination of his injuries The
doctor found several bruises on the
mans back, but nothing of a serious
nature. Miller stated to a reporter
that he was on his way from Minerva
to Wooster, and that he did not know
how he came to be thrown out of his
buggy in the vicinity of the park. Ira
s. May, milkman residing at Crystal
Park, with his wife was driving east ON
Lawrence avenue, when some distance
ahead of them they saw two
horses dashing towards them
drawing a buggy, with a single occu-
pant who seemed asleep, with his legs
dangling over the sides. The team al
most over-rode Mays buggy tearing off
a portion OF the cover and breaking
one OF the wheels. About the same
time the man was thrown out, and his
own buggy fell to one side with some of
the wheels almost demolished and the
pole broken. AT the corner of Law
renee avenue and Gibbs street the ami
mails were captured and the buggy Sc
cured, which was almost total wreck.
Late Saturday night Miller was taken
in charge by friends and removed to a
hotel. May complained at police head
quarters Sunday that his rig was dam
aged through the carelessness of Mil
ler's driving, and that he was going to
have him make restitution for the
broken buggy or have him arrested.

We are now in the great delta of the

channel, where the river rolls along in
yellow waves on its turbid course and
are floating through canals, where the
water is as smooth as FURNISHED steel,
hut where by the setting sun 1t has

feet high, which, cut by other canals,
similarly wooded, make it seem as
though we were travelling through one
of natures great cities. 1t is a fairy city

a city populated by monkeys, jaguars,
parrots and butterflies. 1t is the haunt
