present in the new organization surpassed
all expectations. In his discourse in the

spoke at length, the latter having care
fully prepared address to show that the
federation proposed to advance benevolent,
social and Christian work, and especially
to assist the Catholic press and to dis
seminate Catholic literature. The address
of Bishop McFeul was regarded as an Of
fetal statement from the clergy and that
of T. B. Minahan official statement
from the laity.
Although the exercises began at s a. m,
1t was almost 2 =. m. before the first recess
was taken, ands the speakers commanded

President Burns Plans to Harmonize
the Glass Trade Troubles.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
HARTFORD CITY. Ind, Dec. 10.-Oficers
of the national organization of Window
glass Workers met members of many in
dependent manufactures here this even
ing, as the outcome OF which it is believed
the new L. a. 300, or Denny faction of the
knights of Labor, will be absorbed by the
parent organization.
Muncie interest attaches to the recon-
mendation of President Simon Burns, of
old L. A. 800. to the executive board of
the national organization of Window-glass
Workers, that the seeding members of
that body, who deserted during the recent
strike TO the Denny, or new l.. A. 300, be
received into the parent organization in
good standing if they so desire. Burns
recommends that all blowers, gatherers
cutters and flatteners who have returned
and paid their fines or initiation fees, be
restored to all rights and benefits in the
organization. While many of the four
trades have returned to the Burns organ
ization, these privileges have heretofore
been denied them. The restoration of all
rights in the association on the payment
of dues will induce many who deserted to
Denny to Te-enter the old organization.

Mr.. CARNEGIE'S PLAN
STATEMENT OF CARROLL ID. WRIGHT,
COMMISSIONER OF LABOR.
Proposed National University to BE
Devoted to Research and Advanced
General Studies.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10.-Hon. Carroll ID.
Wright. commissioner of the United States
Department Of Labor, to-day made the fol-
lowing statement as to Mr.. Carnegie's en-
dowment Of a national university at
Washington:
1.-The general discussion which has been
carried on during the last twenty-five
years in relation TO the establishment of a
national university in Wasl ington has cul-
minated in a magnificent plan and endow-
number Of years the university idea held
sway, but about two years ago the matter
was taken up by the Washington Academy
of Sciences, and this body. i'm cooperation
with the George Washington Memorial
Association, formulated a definite plan
which differed radically from the uniVer-
sity plan contemplated i'm the earlier years.
This resulted last spring. as was then pub
lished. in the organization OF the Washing
ton Memorial Institution. The plan was,
in brief. as follows:
Observation-Disclosures. A private founda-
ton independent OF government support or
control.
''Second-Objects: (a), TO facilitate the
use of the scientific and other resources of
government for research; (b). to cooperate
with universities, colleges and individuals
in securing TO properly qualified persons
opportunities for advanced study and re-
sDr. Daniel c. Gilman, ultimately presi-
dent of the Johns Hopkins University, was
elected director Of the institution. When
Mr.. Carnegie came to consider the question
of endOwing a national university at
Washington. he investigated the whole
subject with his usual thoroughness. and
found that an institution devoted 10 re-
search and the training of capable persons
was more in accord with his conceptions
than the establishment of a university
that would be a rival of the already exist
ing universities Of the country. How far
he was led to this conclusion by the work
that had been done by the organizations in
Washington is unknown, but his action
indicates that he had faith I'm the general
plan that had been developed and crystal
lized in that city. 1t is probable the Wash
ington Memorial Institution will suspend
it's operation, for IL is understood that Mr..
Carnegie's plan not only embraces all the
proposed activities OF the institution, but
goes far beyOnd these"

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. 1O.-The City
Council last night passed a resolution abol-
ishing the Office of police judge, the same
to take effect September. 1902, at which
time the term of Judge Charles Haskell
Henderson will expire. Under the present
regime Mayor Noah Justice has no duties
OF special import except to preside over the
Council and ii was thought extravagant TO
pay two prices for one service. The abol-
1shment OF the Office has created a sensa-
ton politically, as three or four prominent
lawyers were in training for the office 1t
also changes the race for mayor, as there
are several candidates now out for the Of
flee who would not think of presiding over
the Police Court, as they would have to do If
elected. Judge Henderson, who has been
the only occupant of the office since its ere
alton, couple of years ago, has made a

WILL BUILD NEW TUNNEL.
Pennsylvania Railway Awards Con-
tracts Involving Over 81 100000.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10.-The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad awarded contracts to-day
for improvements involving expenditure
of more than 100000. The contracts in
clude the construction of a new single
track tunnel through the crest of the Allie
gheny mountains at Gallitzen. The tunnel
will be 5000 fees long and will contain a
single track, the object being to relieve the
present tunnel of one of the tracks now
running through it. The present tunnel
tracks are too close together to permit
the passage of the improved freight cars
when the latter are heavily laden. When
the tunnel is completed it will be used with
the present tunnel for west-bound traffic
East-bound trains will pass through the
old double-track portage tunnel, which was
recently reconstructed.
