STARTING on THE RAID.

When it became known that Gen. Nor
gan had determined TO make the greatest
raid be had ever planned or undertaken,
the enthusiasm of his Keutuckians was
great, they always having 4 longing for
a march toward the ole Kentucky home.
However, their exuberaney was somewhat
subdued. A march into old Kentucky
was all right, but to cross the Ohio and
invade Indiana and Ohio, stran-
gers in a strange land-that was
an entirely different thing. Some
thought it a wild and impracticable
adventure. the thoughtful. Intelligent and
experienced yeterans-heroes Of many
hazardous expeditions and innumerable
hair-breadth escapes-realizing fully the
privations and dangers involved in "the
crossing of the Rubicon." Others, how
ever. having little thought Of the morrow,
did not worry. With them sufficient
unto the day was the evil thereof" Ex-
cepting one most excellent Tennessee reg
iment, the division was composed mostly
Of very young men, even boys, the flower
Of Kentucky, who were prone to take a
roseate, an optimistic view Of things
even of crossing the river.

even if he lost his command, which vas
probable, the benefit accruing to Gen.
Bragg would more than compensate for
any disaster that might oyertake the di-
vision OF cavalry beyond the "Rubicon"-
that he could greatly aid Gen. Bragg By
crossing the Ohio River, and only in that
way.
BRAGG OPPOSED TIRE OHIO RAID.
"Gen. Bragg peremptorily ordered Nor
gan to confne his operations to Ken
tucky. l was not present at the inter
view between them, but Gen. Morgan
told me that Gen. Bragg had ordered him
not to go beyond Kentucky. However,
notwithstanding his orders TO the con-
trary, Gen. Morgan had fully determined
to cross the Ohio. / do not mean TO
justify his disobedience Of orders, but
simply to narrate the facts as | learned
them from Gen. Morgan himself, and to
explain his ideas regarding the movement,
which were definite and fixed. This ex-
pedition had long been fayorite idea
with him, and was but the practical de-
velopment OF his theory Of the proper way
to make war, to wit, by going deep into
the country Of the enemy.
He had ordered me, three weeks pre-
yiously, to send intelligent men to exam
inc the fords of the upper Ohio-that at
Burlington among them-and it is a fact,
| OF WHICH OtueIS as Wen as lngSEil dIc
cognizant, that Gen. Morgan intended,
| long before he crossed the Ohio, to make
no effort to recross it, except at some Of
| these fords, unless ne found 1t more e1-
| pedient, when he reached that region, to
| join Gen. Lee, If the latter should still
| be in Pennsylvania.
"NeYer had l been so impressed with
Gen. Morgan's remarkable genius-his
wonderful faculty of anticipating the ex-
act effect his action would have upon all
other men and of calculating their action
his singular power of arriving at cor
rect estimate of the nature and capacities
| of country which he knew only by maps
and the most general description; and the
perfect accuracy with which he could fore
tell the main incidents of q march and
campaign, as when he briefly sketehed his
plan of the Ohio Raid All who heard
him felt that he was right, in the main,
and, although some OF us were filed with
grave apprehension, we felt an ineonsist-
ent confidence when listening to him. He
did not disguise from himself the great
dangers to be encountered, but he was
sanguine of success, and t Is 2 remark
able fact that every detail of the march
planned was accomplished, disaster not
oYertaking him until he had reached the
very end OF the proposed march north Of
the river and through Ohio-at Bufing-
ton Island, and even then he would have
safely crossed into West Virginia had not
the almost unprecedented rise in the river,
at that time of the year, caused the cap
ture and dispersion of his command.

American Federation of Cath.
Ole Societies Opens.
MEETING is IMPORTANT
Regarded as of Immense Interest to
the Church-object Is to Bond To-
gether Fraternal Unions Among the
Laity and Catholic Societies.

Cincinnati, Dec 10.-The first confer
ence of the American Federation of
Catholic societies convened here today
with about 500 delegates present. Re-
ligious services at the cathedral pre-
ceded the business session, the latter
being held at the Auditorium. Cover
nor Nash, Mayor Fleischman and 9TH
ers delivered welcoming addresses
which were responded to by officers of
the Federation.
The proposal to make the organiza-
ton permanent is regarded as one of
the most important steps ever taken
for the church in America, and is gen
orally approved by prominent prelates.
A temporary organization of the feder-
alton was perfected at Long Branch
last summer.
The call for the present meeting
states that the objects of the federation
are the cementing of the bonds of fra
ternal union among the Catholic laity
and Catholic societies of the United
States; the fostering of Cathoic inter,
ests and the works of religion, piety,
education and charity; the study OF
conditions in social life; the dissemin-
alton of the truth and the encourage
ment OF the spread of Catholic litera-
ture and the circulation of the Catholic
press.
The leaders say it is not proposed to
interfere with the autonomy of the Hi
bernans, knights of ST. John. Ameri,
can Catholic Union or any other Cath.

in which they will all be represented

The Special Commissioner
Long Expected Report is
Submitted to Congress.
SUMMARY OF DOCUMENT
Says That the Grade of Our Diplomacy
in the Recent Troubles With the
Little sIant-Eyed Man Was Much
| Above Par.

Washington, Dec. 10.--The long eX-
pected report of Special Commissioner
Rockhill to the secretary of state on
the results of his work in connection
with the Chinese negotiations in Pekin
has been submitted to congress, along
with full text of the protocol which
has been already published, and
mass of detailed statements. 1t was
upon this report that the President
based his commendatory reference to
Rockhill's work in his recently pub
lished message to congress.
Beginning by detailing the condi
tons under which he came to be ap-
pointed commissioner in July, 1900,
Rockhill tells of the visits he made to
rne 'oys of Shanghai and WI
Chang. which he said did not a little
to further the interests of peace. Rock
hill says he full concurred in all the
measures Minister Conger was advo-
eating. These negotiations extended
over a period of fourteen months.
Rockhill then at considerable length
details the results of the negotiations
and the role played by the United
States in the Pekin conference con
Guiding: while we maintained COM
plete independence we were able to
act harmoniously in concert with the
powers, the existence of which was
as essential to prompt, peaceful set.

The friendship of-all negotiating pow
srs and exerted a salutary influence in
the cause of moderation humanity and
justice. We secured adequate repair

and guarantees for their future pro-
lection, and labored successfully in the
interests of the whole world in the
cause of equal, impartial trade with
all parts of the Chinese empire"

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 10-The first
business to come before the conven-

ditional resolutions.
The committee having in charge the
secretary's report reported the sugges-

The committee on resolutions pre-
sented voluminous report Among
the resolutions was one asking all UNI

authority. This brought up the ques-
ton of autonomy and Vice President
Duncan made the important announce

This announcement had the effect Of
killing the resolution.
A resolution pledging the Federation
to use every honorable means to pre-

scalping legislation was fayorably re-
ported by the committee. After a long,
vigorous discussion the resolution was
adopted by an overwhelming VOTE
Cigarmakers Must Get Into Line.
The American Federation of Labor
has pointed out to the cigar-makers
that it is folly to oppose the introduce
ton Of machinery in the trade and the
best plan was to get in line with pro-
gressive ideas, accept the situation and
organize the operators OF machines.
The experiences of printers and others
were cited to show that machines were
inevitable in many trades. The Cigar
makers International Union has
brought this question up at previous
meetings of the Federation and the UNI

present time not a machine-made cigar
