Cardinal says the appointment OF .
rector OF tbs American College here
70 succeed Mgr. Doomed. the Bssh-
oD OF Portland, Ne, has nor reached
3 stage where any statement can be
made
Much interest Is manifested here
in the meeting OF Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop ChappelIe The fact
that the archbishop is still the papal
delegate 10 the Philippines is regard
ed as confirmation OF the current re-
port that the question at issue be-
tween the Vatican and the govern
ment at Washington regarding church
property and the general position Of
the religious o<ders in the archipela-
90 is on the point of settlement
Both the Cardinal and the Arch
bishop have had several audiences
with the Pope. As the newspaper
Itaiie the other day observed, the
question is whether papal diplomacy
will endeayor TO prevent virtual con
fscation of conventual property
which, indeed. has already COM
menced. or viii agree on certain con-
ditions.
The best information IS that the
negotiations which have been the ba-
sis Of the compromise have been to
the advantage OF the Washington
government. Some concessions have
certainly been made to the Vatican
but to what extent has been careful
" concealed.
The Italie observes the Philippine
converts have few friends, and there
is marked antagonism between Span
ish and American Catholicism. There
used to be plenty of apo1ogists at the
Vatican for the Filipino system. but
their voices nowadays are seldom
heard. Catholicism in the Philippines
must be brought up to the highest
standard of the church in the United
States.
A curious point is that Spain cher
ishes the delusion that she has some
sort OF a locus standi to interfere.
According to statements made in
Madrid, the Spanish Government re-
Gently went so far as to send a dip
lomatic note to the Vatican protest
ing against the threatened confsca-
ton of the property of religious or
ders. not only in the Philippines, but
in Cuba. and beseeching the Pope TO
use his authority to prevent this
saerilegious spoliation The Pope re-
piled so promptly and emphatically
that the attempt is not likely to be
renewed. SPANS only interest in the
question is that every priest in the
Philippines or Cuba is virtually q
Spanish agent.
1t is an open secret at Madrid that
the government is anxiously watching
the course of events in Cuba, hoping
and believing that the United States
will be worried into granting the
Cubans complete independence, in
which case, it is fondly believed,
there will not be much difficulty in
making Spanish influence predomin-
ant.

KANSAS MAY GET CORN

Denencent Rainfall Causes Change In
Opinion-MAy Get Some Corn.
A Kansas City dispatch of July 80,
says: The drouth has been broken in
Kansas and Missouri by good rains that
have fallen in heavy and frequent
showers since Sunday morning. The
outlook is good for more rain. Col.
Geo. w. Veale, who has closely watch
ed conditions In Kansas for n score of
years, said that Kansas would .aise
nearly n half crop of corn. The ate
planted corn, he said, was already
showing sig rs of life and vigor and all
that had not tasseled out before the
rains would make more than half a
crop. He said the people would raise
sufficient forage feed for all the cattle
now On the range in Kansas. The
rain will greatly benefit fall pastures.

POISONING BIRDS

OF Western Nebraska the farmers had
spread poisoned food for grasshoppcrs
and as a result the hoppers as well as
quail, prairie chickens and all kinds
of birds are being slaughtered. This

had often warned the people not to
follow such a plan in the hope Of get

the farmers are doing themselves more
harm in killing off insectivorous birds
than they are doing good in getting
rid of a limited number Of grasshopers.
The following letter from w. w.

and tells of the results:

sas has been fully redeemed from the
ravagcs OF the drouth. The rain which
started In numerous sections OF the
state Saturday night continued Sun
day. Every indication points to n pro-
longed rainy spell, which will be Of in
estimable value. Farmers report that
there will be much late corn, and the
rain will insure excellent fodder. The
estimates of the probable yield of corn
range from five to twenty bushels to
the acre. Apples and pears with any
thing like favorable conditions will
make a large crop. The Santa Fe rail.
road reports the rain extending thirty
miles west on their systems and east TO
Kansas City. On the Rock Island and
Union Pacific systems, farther north,
the area covered Is about the same.
This ends the drouth in the sections
mentioned for the present, the rain re-
