The Denver News, which is noted
for the campaign roorbacks that it
originates. a few days ago published
a scare head article announcing that
Archbishop Ireland would support
Bryan. In the body of the article all
was vague rumors and intimations,
which did not sustain the heading. The
following article, clipped from a Cath
Ole church paper shows how little
truth there is in the Denver story:
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul in
an interview with the London CORES
pondent of the Chicago Record, on
September 3Oth, announced his inten,
ton of voting for Mckinley.
The American prelate has just ar.
rived in London from Paris. After
asking with interest for the latest po-
~litical news, his grace declared that
he was hurrying home in order to lend
the moral effect of his vote and sup
port to the republican cause.
Il am glad" he continued, ION the
eve of my return to the United States
to contradict the statement that | have
wavered in my adherence to republi.
can principles. | am a republican
and intend to remain one. There
is more than the ordinary need of par
ty loyalty this year. The administra-
ton upon which the country is asked
to pass judgment has been and is now
confronted with problems of domestic
and foreign policy which to a certain
degree put Americanism on trial be-
fore the world.
These problems, | believe, the ad-
ministration has handled with sagac-
ity. craftsmanship, patriotism, and in
a which deserves the APPROX
al of the American people The unriv-
allied progress of the United States is
the wonder of the nations in these clos
inging days of an eventful century. l
am for the party and the policy which

nation in which u country is held

of $4,000 to build a road from the
southern boundary of the park through
the Forest Reserve, and to build a
to make this road available for peo-
pie living in central Wyoming, and
that they might get into the park from

through the house an appropriation of
$4,000 for a wagon road up the Big
Wind river to the mouth of the Buffa-
10 fork of the Snake river connecting
with the aforesaid road through the
Forest Reserve south of the park. The
original appropriation of $4,000 for
this road was sufficient to construct
a passable highway but Mr.. Monden

ject and succeeded in passing

Second Homestead Law.
One of the first bills introduced in
the "a congress by Mr.. Mondell was
one allowing second homestead en-
tries to those who had heretofore com
mpted homestead entries or who had
failed to perfect title to tracts enter
ed under the homestead laws. He was
able to secure q favorable report on
this measure in the saith congress, but
did not secure its passage. He took
the matter up early in the present on
gress and after earnest efforts was
gratifed in seeing the act pass the
house and senate and become a law.
This act is of much importance to
Wyoming and ali parts of the west. 1t
enables those who had heretofore en-
tered lands under the HOMESTEAD law
and had committed such entries by
paying $1.25 an acre for the land, to
though former entry had not been
made 1t also allows anyone who had
heretofore made a homestead entry
and for any reason had failed to per-
feet title thereto, to make another
homestead entry. This bill will allow
many people who are now landless to
secure homes.
The Desert Bill.
One of the most important bills in
troduced and urged by Mr.. Mondell
is the bill reducing the price to be
paid for desert lands. Under the law
as it now stands those who file on des-
ert land must pay % cents an acre at
the time of making the filing and
S1.0O an acre at the time of making
final proof. Mr.. Mondell's con.
tention has been that those who re-
claimed desert lands were entitled to
the same without the payment of any
sum whatever. to the government, ex-
cept the filing fee. He has commended
that the expense of retaining desert
lands is very great and that he who
reclaims such land is a public bene- |

White House. ~
Washington, Jan. 3.-Beneath q sky
as bright as that above Cuba and in a
wind as cold as the Arctic. more than
1900 citizens stood in line at the
White House gates yesterday waiting
to pay their respects to the president
Of the United States after the brilliant
official reception which ushered in the
new year and marked the opening of
the social eason in Washington, Mrs.
Mckinley was present in spite of her
feeble health. She remained in the
blue parlor only through the strictly
official section of the programme, re-
firing then as had been previously ar
ranged. The troublesome question of
precedence between the army and
navy was settled in favor Of the form
er, Gen. Miles leading the military con-
tingent, with Adjt. Gen. Corbin at his
left side. After the army had passed
in view Admiral Dewey, with the ven
cradle Admiral Melville on his arm,
led the navy line. Mrs. Dewey was
with the receiving party, and was es-
corted in ON the arm of Secretary
Long. The diplomatic corps, which
headed the list of guests, was, as al
ways, the show feature of the recep-
ton. Lord Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, and dean of the corps,
led the way. The display of uniforms
was brilliant. Following these, the

In the house caucus all of the fifty
eight Democrats answered to roll call

Democrats remained out. They were
Senators Alexander. Mayes, Gillespie
and Roberts. Senator Hill was also
sick and absent, but is not classed
with the dissenters. In the senate
caucus Senator Herold created a SEN

the anti-Goebel lobby, claiming he
had been approached by J. Whallen
Of Louisville and offered $500 to re-
main out of caucus. The money, he
said, had been placed in a box at the
Louisville Trust company's, the key Of

New York. Jan. 3. "Kid" Mccoy
again placed himself in the champion
shin class by defeating Peter Maher
in a brisk, w%cll-fought battle of five
rounds before the Coney Island Ath-
letic club yesterday afternoon. Inc
fight was scheduled to last twenty-five
rounds and the purse was to nave
been $4,000. but the attendance was
not as large as had been expected, and
before the fight was begun the princi-
pals agreed that the winner should
receive the gross gate receipts. The
battle was hard-fought from start to
finish, but Mccoy was far the cleverer
man in ring tactics, lodging, side
stepping and hitting powers. He
showed himself to be a good ring
general, ever watching for an opening
and never failing to take advantage
of one. Maher, although credited with
being a heavy hitter, did not get in
many effective blows. His foot work
was Door. and ut times he did not ap-
pear to have perfect control of him.
self.
When the men entered the ring and
stripped for battle both looked to be
in perfect condition and they were
greeted with tulnultuous applause.
The blow which ended the fight was
a straight left which landed on h
point of the jaw and the 1lishman
went down on his right elbow and was
counted out in this position. 1t was
q terrible blow and landed right OH
the spot. an OK could have scarcely
withstood it's force. 1t was the clean
est Knockout ever seen in a ring fight.
and while som people We're unkil1d
enough to say that Maher could have

Of the blow. were of the opinion that
Sullivan in his palmiest days could
not have WithstoOd it.

TO PREVENT A RISING.

Home Guards Are organized by Brit
Ons in Cape Colony.
Cape Town, Jan. 3.-The colonial au-
thorities are using every precautfon to
prevent an insurrection on THE psrt OF
the disloyal Dutch in Cape Colony and
to prevent a rising elsewhere. EVERY
Where the British colonies are being
organized into home guards, drilled
and made ready to act in their re-
spective localities should armed Dutch
%colonials gather. The theory is that
the British ho~me-staying %colonials
should be fully prepared to cope with
the Dutch colonials without the aid OF
regulars. The a%lertness Of the British
renders action on the part Of the pro-
Boer residents difficult. Unable to act
openly, they slip away singly OF in
small groups, to join the enemy's
forces. The authorities have been ia.
formed of many centers OF agitation.
where it is considered undesirable to
parttcularize, but there is nothing like
concerted action apparent over wide
districts.

The Foreign Concessions I'm Shan9-

Washington, Jan. 3.-The extension
of the foreign concessions at Shang-
hal, China, closes a diplomatic contro-
versy between Great Britain, the Unit
ed States and France which has at
times become rather acute. France
taking the position of II stage of the
negotiations that the American CO
operation with the British in oppos-
ing the French plan of extension was
an unfriendly act toward France.
This and the other differences have
been happily adjusted. The French
concession is extended without includ-
ing the American missions. The Brit
ish and American settlements are ex-
tended, and to some extent merged in
the international settlements, but the
British-American extension does not
so envelop the French colony as TIC,
place it in a pocket.
