ROMANISM IN OUR COLONIES
The Pope Expresses Thanks to Our
Government for It's Course

New York, October 19.-Archbishop
Ireland, in conversation today touching
the sentiment at Rome towards the
Catholic church in the Philippines and
in Cuba, remarked that he felt quite
willing to repeat what was recently
said to him in Rome on this subject.
He said he did SO the more readily that
the eminent personages with whom he
matter showed themselves to be in no
way unwilling to have the statements
made by them become public. The
archbishop said:
In one of the audiences which he
g~raciously granted me, the pope, said:
We are we'll pleased with the rela-
lions OF the American government to
n church in Cuba and the Philippine
islands. The American government
gives proof of good will and exhibits
in its acts a spirit of justice and a re-
Spect for the liberty and rights of the
church. The reports we receive from
bishops n Others Indicate this. Diff
ficultieS of detai occur as a conse-
quence of war and of newneSs of COM
pleXionS. But we understand such
things We have confidence in the in
telIigsence and the spirit of justice of
the American government and people
and believe that the future will not
lead us to a change of sentiment to-
wards it. Under the American govern
ment will be due respect for rights OF
property and of conscience. You will
thank in my name the president of the
republic for what is being DONE"

The building committee of the new
Methodist church has completed its ar
rangements and on Thursday the first
steps towards erecting the new church
were taken. The pastor. Rev. j. b.
Hurley, held services on the site Of the
new church. These services consisted
of prayer and singing, after which the
cornerstone was formally put in place.
This building committee deserves a
great deal Of credit for its efforts In his
movement. Its chairman. Mr.. James
Davis, has been, indeed. very jealous
in giving the new church idea all the
life possible. Work will be commenced
at once in earnest and the members
hope to be in their new home at an
early date. The cost OF the church
will be $40, 0O0.

lIonaire j. w. Gates

Chicago, October 19.-S. L. Morris
was arrested this evening for an al
legged attempt upon the life of John w.
Gates, ex-president of the American

revolvers were found concealed in his
pockets.
1t is asserted that Morris also had
designs upon the life of w. J. Crimson,
general manager of the Kansas City
and Southern railroad, whom Morris,
it is alleged. had enticed to this city by
means of a telegram purporting to ave
been signed by Gates. but which he
himself had sent.
Crimson arrived at the
Grand Pacific hotel today in accord
ance with the appointment made in the
telegram. Failing to find Mr.. Gates
he called upon him in his office in the
Rookery building.
After a hasty consultation the two
man decided tina Morris originated the
scheme. both having received threat
ening letters from him.
Morris was captured near the offices
of the Illinois Steel Company in the
Rookery building. He was formerly
in the employ of Gates and maintains
that the latter owes him $50. 600.
Tenants of h Rookery are said to
have overheard the prisoner making
threats to kill Mr.. Gates. When taken
into the chief of detectives office, Nor
ris could apparently give no intelligi'

ed to assign any reason for being y
