BISHOP IRELAND
Speaks Plainly About Great Evil and Calls
the Women TO Task.

st. Paul Mimi, June 26.-Archbishop
Ireland addressed the graduating class
of ST. Joseph's college and said in part:
zone of the great evils of the pres
ent time is that women in so-called
high society are coming to regard with
more and more liberation breaches of
moral and civic laws committed by
members of their own sex.
In our hurried modern life, when
men are devoting themselves almost
entirely to things material women
should preserve the moral and spiritual
side of existence. If they do not, the
world may we'll fear.
The great fault of American educa-
ton" the archbishop added. was lack
of seriousness. There was no depth of
thought no consistency of principles.
An intellectual levity pervaded society.
America" he thought. was decidedly
inferior to other countries in intellect
ual culture.
Il believe in the intellectual woman,
continued the speaker. While wom-
ans interest should be primarily in the
home, yet there is no reason why 1t
should be confined there. 1t is folly TO
beittle womans influence today. for
it is widespread, and it is a power
wherever it extends

morning, during dense fog. Capt.
McNay had to force the Lusitania up
on the reef. for if he reversed the en-
gines the whole ships bottom would
have been torn out and she would
have sunk instantly.
The panic among the passengers af-
ter the vessel struck was intense. The
details of what occurred on board have
been previously cabled. The drawing
of knives by the passengers was not
general; it occurred only in isolated in
stances.
Three hours elapsed between the
time when the Lusitania struck and
the time the passengers started to dis
embark The delay was occurred by
the difficulty in controlling the mob
and handling the boats. All the pas
sengers and crew agree that if the
Lusitania had struck the rocks in
rough weather not a soul on board
would have been saved.
The last message to the agents here
of the Lusitania says that the vessel
is hard and firm aground on the reef
and is hopeless wreck. Her engine
room is full of holes and flooded. and
the forehOld also flooded. The ship is
listed heavily to port and the waves
are washing in and out of her forward
and aft holds. The after decks are I'M
der water. A strong northeast breeze
is rising and tumbling up n heavy sea
which will soon dismantle the ship.
The Lusitania passengers who en-
barked for st. Johns on the steamer
Glencoe are due here at midnight.

RecssnI,ed BY Germany. Who Will Not Wlode,
the isthmian Canal.

Washington. JUae 26.-Germany has
announced her recognition of the Mon
roe doctrine to Pan American dip,o-
mats in Berlin, according to their col
leagues in Washington. The attitude of
Germany with respect to an Isthmian
canal has been a source Of considera-
tla speculation, and according to
South African ENJOYS here. their rep
resentatives in Berlin deemed it advis
able to obtain a statement.
Baron Won Buelow, minister for for
eign affairs. is said to have stated that
Germany recognized and understood
the Monroe doctrine, and has no inten-
,ion of hindering the construction of
the canal by the United States. A report
was current among Pan-American di-
plcmats here several months ago that
Germany would join with Great Brit
ain in demanding neutrality Of the
canal.

HIGH FREIGHT RATES.
To Be Attacked by Heavy Western Shippers o.
Merchandise.

Chicago, June 26.-The Tribune says:
Prominent Western merchants, all
heavy shippers of merchandise. are
preparing to call to account before the
interstate commerce commission the
heads of the various railroad combina-
ton and the community of interests
alliances of the trunk lines of the
country.
Charges are made that. following
these movements of consultations,
freight rates have been advanced from
50 to so per cent. through quite and
organized manipulation of the various
classifications of commodities.
Behind the movement to attack this
scheme of freight advances of applying
to the interstate commerce commission
for relief lies the plan for a still more
vigorous blow. The compliments IN
tend to press a demand that Congress
shall take a hand in forcing the for
nation of a uniform classification of
freight which shall be effective on
every railroad in the United States.
