" His Elevation.

Washington, Dec. 12-Arch Bishop
Ireland, of st. Paul, and Bishop Nc
Golrick, of Duluth, who is suffragan
pre)ate of St. Paul province, will leave

visit to Washington on the present
occasion was purely q business trip.
When asked concerning his reported
prospective elevation to a cardinalate
at the coming consistory in Rome, he
remarked that all such rumors merit
no credence whatever, as nobody
knows upon whom the choice of Pope
Leo will fall when the consistory
meets.
The archbishop expressed surprise

RETAINS HIS SWAY.
Gompers Still a Power in Federation of
Labor.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 12-Today's
session of the American Federation of
Labor apparently disclosed the fact
that there will be little or no opposi-
ton to the reelection of Samuel Com
pers as president.
Two propositions, the votes on
which may be regarded as tests, re-
suited in decisive triumphs for the
ideas advocated by Gompers. Max
Hayes of Cleveland, led the opposi-
ton in both instances, but the battle
did not at any time become personal
or bitter. One of the resolutions was
to limit the term Of the federation's
president in future to two years; the
other provided for the election of Off
GERS of the body by the initiative and
referendum, instead of a vote in mass
convention Ill the last day of the an
nual session, as prevails at present.
Both were defeated.
The choice Of place for next years
convention promises to lie between
Milwaukee, Wis, and Scranton, Pa.

cARNEGIE's OPINION.
Favors Canal But Opposes Treaty
With England.

New York, Dec. 12-The Tribune
will tomorrow publish a letter from
Andrew Carnegie favoring the
isthlnian canal, but opposing any
treaty with Great Britain on
the subject. He says it is I'M
safe for the United States to allow
the slightest participation or shadow
of foundation for a claim to participant
ing in anything pertaining to this
continent. Far better no canal than
one under the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
But there will be a canal, he says.
Great Britain only needs to see we
are in earnest to accede to our wishes.

ITS LOCATION ASCERTAINED.
Government Agents Discover Philippine
Tunta Headquarters.

Washington, Dec. 12-The British
government having formally notified
the United States government that it
has been unable to locate the reported
Philippine junta in Hong Kong, our
governmental agents have been put to
work to ascertain where the NUM-

reached the insurgent Filipinos,
originated. It has now been dis
covered that the Portuguese settle
ment of Macec, located on the Chinese
coast and convenient to the Philip
pines, is the point Of insurgent ac-
tivity, and probably the abiding place
of one of the Philippine juntas.
Further investigation is being made,
pending which no action has been
taken in an international sense.
