CARDINAL GIBBONS VIEWS.


St. Paul, Mimi, July 27.-Cardinal
Gibbons, who has been visiting the
northwest, spent yesterday in this city
and was entertained at luncheon at
the residence of J. j. Hill. Besides
Cardinal Gibbons, Mr.. and Mrs. Hills
guests included Senator G. X. Davis,
Gov. John Lind, Bishop John Foley,
of Detroit; Bishop John STANLEY, OF
North Dakota; Rev. Patrick Hebron,
rector of st. Paul's seminary; j.
Schaub, of Pittsburg. who is travel
ing with Cardinal Gibbons, and
Others. Asked for his views on ey-
pansion the cardinal said: "Of
course we cannot abandon the islands
we have acquired, at least not until
a sufficient powerful home govern
ment has been established in each of
the new possessions He thought
the duty of America was most EN-
phaticaly that of teaching the newly
acquired possessions to govern them
selves.
A question in regard to the ale
cations that the Catholic missionaries
were largely to blame for the perse-
cution of foreigners in China, brought
from the cardinal an emphatic de-
NAL.
There were, he said, about half
million native Catholics in China.
While the Catholic prelates had been
gravted some judicial authority by
the emperor and mandarins, this was
because by far the greater number of
Christians in China were Catholics and
II had been found helpful to both the
church and government to give bish-
ops and others some judicial author
ity. The present troubles could not
fail, said Cardinal Gibbons, to have
a deteriorating effect upon the work
Of Christanizing China.

sons were injured, two fatally, by the
premature discharge of the evening

the ground. The accident occurred
in the presence of a large crowd of
visitors to the camp. Corporal Balls
ley and Jesse Rupert, acting quarter
master, were loading the evening gun,
assisted by several men of battery A.
A sack of powder was placed in the
mouth of the cannon and Rupert was
about to drive the charge home. The
powder sack was too large for the
gun and in forcing 1t into the cannon
the canvas was torn, some of the
powder falling to the ground just
below the nozzle of the cannon, Sud-
denly some one uttered the words:
Watch them scatter There was a
flash Of powder on the ground, the
flames was communicated to the pow
der which was being forced into the
cannon and the gun was discharged,

from the cannon. Balsley and Ru-
pert had their clothes blown from
their bodies which were blackened by
powder. The Others staggered back,
burned and blinded. All of the
wounded were taken to hospitals.
