BIG CATHOLIC MEETING.
Prelates of the Country to Gather in
Washington in the Fall

Washington, Aug. 30-Advices receiv-
ed here today from Europe indicate
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Arch
bishop Kahn, of st. Louis, and Archbish-
op Keene of Dubuque, Iowa, will return
here in ample time to attend the annual
meeting of the Catholic university trus-
tees early in the autumn. All the mem
bers of the board of managers except
Mgr Chapelle are expected to take part
in the coming meeting. The latter is
now at Manila as apostolic delegate to
the Philippines; but designs visiting
Rome in October to make his report con-
corning religious affairs there to the
pope.
Coincident with this meeting of the
university trustees, it is understood that
there will be a general meeting also of
the heads of the American hierarchy
under Cardinal Gibbons direction. All
of the archbishops in the United States
save those Of New Orleans and San
Francisco probably will attend the gen
eral meeting; as questions of Importance
are to be considered. 1t is learned from
a pastor here that one of these questions
may be the advisability of convoking a
plenary council at Baltimore in the near
future. Bishop Glennon of Kansas City,
Mo, who recently saw the Roman auth
critics, wrote to friend here that they
anticipate a council soon.

FELL FROM A TRAIN.
Tragic Death of One of the
Famous 300 Grant
Supporters.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3o-Thomas ].
Powers, commissioner of banking for
Pennsylvania, was killed by falling from
a train in the outskirts of this city last
night His badly mangled body was
found under the Pennsylvania railway
bridge, spanning the Delaware river at
the northern end of this city this morn
ing by three men cunning in the
marshes.
Mr.. Powers had been spending the
summer at Atlantic City with his fam
lily and it is presumed that he fell from
the train from that resort which reaches
this city via the bridge route at 1920
p. m. Mr.. Powers was a man of heroic
build, measuring considerably over six
feet and weighing about 275 pounds. His
friends express the theory that he had
gone to the platform to escape the heat
in the car and was jolted off while the
train was on curve. Mr.. Powers was 65
years old.
He was conspicuous figure at Re
publican national conventions and was
one of the BOG delegates who held out for
a third term for President Grant. One
of his sons, Lieutenant Thomas ]. Pow
ers, jr., is in the regular army at Ma
Mia.

INFLUENCED BY CLEVELAND
surmise as to Why Halliday Will
Vote For Bryan.

ithaca, n. Y, Aug. 30.-Samuel D. Hal
liday. former member of assembly and
the most prominent Cleveland Democrat
in this section of New York, today pub
licly announced his intention to support
Bryan and Stevenson. -Four years ago he
most bitterly opposed the Nebraskan
and voted for Palmer and Buckner. 1t
is estimated that his influence lost the
Democrats 400 votes in 1896
Mr. Halliday's announcement is believ-
ed here to have been prompted by some
advice from Cleveland. He has been in
Innate in his relations with the former
president and is known to have followed
his leadership many times in the past
Mr.. Halliday is a leading attorney in
ithaca, ana has great influence through
out neighboring counties. He will take
an active part in the campaign for the
Democratic nominees.

Man Who Escaped Early by an On

from China to New York. Mr.. Grifton
has represented an American concern in
the Celestial empire about ten years He
was in Pekin at the time of the siege.
With others he escaped by means of an
old Underground passage to a shack

situation in China as indicated by the
latest information Mr. Grifton said:

any substantial peace negotiations can

ROGERS CHOSEN
Nominee For Governor by Fusion
Convention of Washington.

Seattle, Wn., Aug. 30.-John R. Rogers
was nominated for the office of governor
by the Fusionists Union convention early
today. The eighth ballot, which landed
him the nomination stood: Rogers 70412;
Fawcett 2417k; Voorhees, IL; Neil Chef
ham 43; Thurston Daniels SO.
Upon the organization of the three
conventions here on Monday the Demo-
Gratis and Populists were by good sized
majoritieS opposed to the governor 3
nomination. Rogers, however, had d
splendid organization which did not lose
courage and held all of its delegates.
Last night they succeeded in winning
over Stevens county and this, together
with several other small changes in their
favor gave them control of the union
convention which met today. The COVER
nor's stock went up considerably when
on a test vote of his strength +. G. Rob-
e-tson of Spokane, was shown to be the
conventions favorite for congressman.
Governor Rogers and his men forced
Ronald, candidate for congress to agree
to the unanimous nomination of Ronald
and Robertson. Ronald did not look with
favor upon Robertson's nomination
which meant the nomination of Voor-
hees, Ronald's candidate for governor
Ronald personally favored going down
to defeat but his delegation insisted that
me accept the nomination even though it
aided Rogers by disposing Of Voorhees,

CUT OFF HIS MORPHINE
Cause of Capt. Crenshaw's Criticism
of the Hospital

San Francisco, Aug. So-Colonel
Girard, commanding officer of the gem
eral hospital, is much annoyed over the
reports published regarding the accusa-
lions Of Captain Crenshaw, who died at
Atlanta several days ago. Crenshaw
made an ante-mortem statement and
stated that he had received but little
treatment at the general hospital while
suffering from a serious gunshot wound.
Colonel Girard said:
81 am at a loss to understand why
Captain Crenshaw should make such a
statement. He had a female and male
nurse in attendance all the time and re-
ceived every attention possible. We as
certained that he was addicted to the
use Of morphine and because we would
not permit him to use it he may have
considered it lack of Treatment

CROKER ATTACKS TRUSTS,
Predicts That New York and Indiana
Will Go Democratic.

New York. Aug. S0.-Richard Croker,
IN an interview, repeated the attack on
the trusts, which he made in his speech
before the executive committee of Tam
many Hall last week and amplified it
considerably, using as an illustration
the results which would follow the con-
solidation of the big retail interests of
this city. Mr.. Croker asserted that
there is a great deal of talk about a
consolidation of the great department
stores and he drew gloomy picture of
the conditions that would follow such
an event.
where is this trust business going
to enc? 2" Mr.. Croker asked. Can you
imagine? Take the big department
stores in this city, for instance. Say
there are twelve of them. It is not at
all unlikely that within the next four
years they will form a trust among
themselves. There is a good deal of
talk to that effect, and then what Will
happen? Why it would affect your own
business, the newspapers. more than
anything else.
SAY that combined these stores spend
100000 a year advertising in the
newspapers. That's a big sum, and yet
amount of money right out and save it
They could drive the newspapers out
of business
Mr.. Croker declared that Bryan would
carry the state of Indiana by at least
40, 900.
:.How about New York state, Mr.
Croker?"
Every Democrat in New York state
is working to elect Bryan" was the re-
ply. IT look for big sweep here in his
favor
Trusts and Imperialism are prach-
cally the same he continued.
1T is centering power in a few or
even one man, and Americans were not
born to do that. To make this country
prosperous we have to get back to the
oId-fashioned American business meth
DDS when there were plenty of stores,
plenty of employers and plenty of COM
petition If you don't it will result in
anarchy, or anything else you wish to
call it, The situation now is employer
against employee, and it won't require
much figuring on election day to find
out who controlled the most votes, the
employers or the employed"

Newfoundland to Suffer From Closing

St Johns. N F.. Aug. .3o.-A coal famine

The establishment of a large smelling en-

part of the Cape Breton output and the
failure of Reid's mines leaves the colony
without any local product.
Sydney coal has advanced 80 per cent
