MUNICIPAL =, OWNERSHIP. !.

Decision of the supreme Court Makes
tho Plan Impossible In lows.
DEs MONIES, Jan. IL. The supreme
court has handed down a decision in
the Des Moines municipal electric light
case which is considered by municipal
ownership advocates a severe blow to
their hopes in this state. The city Of
Des Moines contracted for the6building
ct l.t q 9 ! municipal electric light plant and
was enjoined against carrying out the
contract. The contract anticipated the
revenues, providing that payment
should be made each year until the
plant was paid for, when it should be-
come city property. The payments
were no larger than the amount the
city had previously paid annually for
light. The supreme court, however,
holds that . city cannot anticipate its
revenues in this way to provide plant
1T the total of anticipated liability
places the debt above the, constitutional
GDit, which it did in this case.

Accuracy s,l Of Reports and Otis
Authorizes a Statement to
..,~a. z*s.1 Be Published.

MANILA Jan. 18.:-70:5 p. m.-The
presence here Of Archbishop Chapelle.
the apostolic delegate to the Philippines,
is greatly stirring the Catholics Of all
nationalities. The Flipinos have gained
the impression that Mgr. Chapelle came
as the joint agent Of President McKin-
ley and the pope to reinstate the friars
in their former power. One cause of the
excitement is statement which the
Dominicans furnished to the Spanish
press, that Mgr. Chappelle, in visiting
the heads Of the order, told them he
favored the retention of the brother
hoods, and that President Mckinley
shared his views, which We're that esif
the friars returned to their parishes
they would be considered elements of
good order, and therefore American
agents.
Accuracy of Statements Denied. ..4e..
Mgr. Chapelle denies the accuracy OF
these statements and Catholics of all
sections are petitioning Mgr. Chapeue
and Major General Otis against the
fr1ars returning to their parishes, re-
peating the charges Of expressions, ex-
tortions and immoraities which, they
assert, caused the revolution of 1896.
The Catholics request that they be given
priests not connected with the brother
hoods. Delegations from many of the
towns are visiting the provincial COY
errors for the purpose of making the
same request and prominent Manila
Catholics are cabling the pope on tho
subject. The people say the friars viii
be driven out if they return to theft
parishes and there will be continual
trouble if the administration attempts
to protect them.
To queQ the excitement, Major Gen
eral Otis consented to the publication
IN the local newspapers of statement
which he had made to delegation Of
Filipinos, as follows:
eff the church authorities assign
friars to crlracies who are obnoxious to
the people they will not be compelled to
accept them. The individual liberty
guaranteed by the American Constitu-
ton will not be denied the Filipinos,
and the government will not force on
them any ecclesiastical denomination
contrary to their wishes''. .rs.s
