WASHINGTON. June 17.-Archbishop
Chappelle. OF New Orleans. has been rec
commended to the Vatican and to the Pope
in person for elevation TO the rank of car
dinal because of his services as Papal le-
gate for the Philippines and West Indies.
Archbishop Chappelle is of French descent
and IL is believed his elevation would be
looked OF with favo- by the French au-
thorities. In some ecclesiastical quarters 1t
has been felt that the church authority
over the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico
should come under the American hierarchy
rather than under a Papal legate, as the
American church is better able to co-op-
crate with the United States government in
directing insular affairs. 1t is understood
this question also has been brought to the
attention of the Vatican during the visit Of
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Chappelle
to Rome. During one of the audiences,
when the elevation of Archbishop Chap
pelle was urged upon the Pope, the latter
expressed his high regard for the work of
the archbishop.
1t is the intention to bring the matter of
title Of the friars in the Philippines TO a
determination by a trial in the Supreme
Court of the Philippines. Under present
conditions there can be no appeal TO the
Supreme Court of the United States, but
such an appeal could be allowed If provided
for in legislation at the next Congress.

CLEARING HOUSE NEEDED.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE War De-
partment is endeavoring to reach an ar
rangement with the Treasury Department
which will remove as far as possible the
difficulties now encountered by army off,
GERS and civilian employees in the Philip
pines in obtaining money on United States
drafts and checks. General Bates, of the
pay corps, after consulting the Secretary of
the Treasury, will go to New York to see
Assistant Treasurer Jordan about the mat
ter. Under present conditions the checks
drawn by army officers or civilian officers
In the Philippines are not cashed in New
York unless the indorser is known at the
subtreasury. If the checks are sent
through the clearing house, they are paid.
1t Is proposed TO organize a sort OF clearing
house In Manila by which all checks and
drafts may be indorsed by the civil treas
urer at Manila and his signature considered
valid in New York. At present the chief
paymaster in Manila keeps on hand from q

stacked in a small apartment and the pay
master is personally responsible for IT..

ence the same difficulty as paymasters,
and, while they do not keep as much cash
on hand as the pay department, it is more

An official OF the War Department who

asked TO establish a subtreasury at Manila
and to open a mint there for coming Philip

regarding the condition of Ex-Governor
II. S. Pingree. of Michigan. who is suffering
from severe attack of dysentery, is in
no way allayed Mr.. Plngree, jr. said this
evening: Father seems about the same
except that l think he is weaker even than
yesterday" Dr.. Mills said: There is no
material change in the patient except that
the constant drain on his constitution is
proving a most difficult problem for his
physicians TO combat.
At midnight there was continued appre-
hension as 10 Mr.. Pingree's condition. The
strongest drugs have failed TO check the
dysentery. and the only hopeful symptom
is that the patient is enabled freely 10 par
take of nourishment. The physicians hope
that Mr.. Pingree may at least be able TO
see his wife when she arrives, as he re-
mains perfectly rational.

rick, the war secretary, said there were
30 ,229 persons in the concentration camps"

of "Scandalousr' Mr.. Brodrick added that
the authorities were arranging for the re-
lease of the women and children who had
friends to receive them, but the govern
ment could not undertake TO feed them in
isolated positions.
The division in the House on the motion
made by Mr.. Lloyd George tWelsh Nation
alist to adjourn the House on the question
of the treatment of Boer women and chill
dren, which was rejected by a vote of 253
to 134, served to accentuate the split in the
Liberal party on the government war pol
icy. Sir Henry Campbell the
Liberal leader supported Mr.. Lloyd George
in denouncing the policy of keeping women
and children in camps. and Sir Will
