A CALL ON THE POPE
Alleged U. S. Commission to Visit
the Vatican.
ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
Some Sailing Coincidences That Are,
to Say the Least, Rather
Suggestive.

Washington, April 30.-An interesting
story is current in ecclesiastical circles
which throws light upon the so-called
Taft commission to the vatican. Arch
bishop Ireland is given as the authority.
The prelate OF st. Paul was on several
occasions twitted with the failure Of his
efforts to secure the appointment of this
commission. His reply was that the COM
mission would go to Rome notwithstand
Ing assertions to the contrary.
But not with any papers from the
White House or state department" 1t was
objected To this Archbishop Ireland re-
piled:
Governor Taft will defray the expenses
out of the Philippines budget and an army
officer will be detailed to act as the Sec
rotary of the commission. What more au
thority do you desire for commission
charged with such delicate negotiations?
1t Is impossible to verify this account
at the war department. The general re-
ply Is, What is the Taft commission? No
one ever heard of such a thing" 1t Is
interesting, however, to note that Colo
mel Clarence Edwards sailed for Europe
coincidentally with the departure Of
Bishop O'Gorman and General Smith, who
are reputed to be members OF the COM
mission. Colonel Edwards has been given
six weeks leave of absence to recuperate
his health and visit the German Spas. 1t
Is not long or tiresome journey from
any part Of Germany to Rome and those
who watch ecclesiastical affairs are. much
impressed with the coincidence.
Prominent ecclesiastics also assert that
unless the commission can show the vat
lean authorities clear and definite power
to act for the government at Washington
It's negotiations will be abortive and the
whole matter relegated to Mgr. Sbar-
retti. the apostolic delegate to the Philip
pines, who Is still In Washington awaiting
the trend Of events.
A rumor which Is also current is that
the physicians have informed Governor
Taft that should he return to the Philip
pines before he has completely recovered
from the effects of the recent surgical
operation he will place his life in
jeopardy. All gastric troubles are inflamed
by the climate of Manila.

Well-Merlted Promotion.

Captain Clark, of Oregon fame.
earned his promotion to the rank
of Rear Admiral. His feat in
bringing his ship around Cape
Horn at the risk of encountering
the Spanish fleet single handed
was matched by his performance
at Santiago, where he was the one
captain whose vessel was in a
state of preparation which en-
abled her to keep up the chase of
Cervera's squadron in company
with the Brooklyn. His readi-
ness was a decisive factor in that
great naval battle. Either ac.
ton would have merited the adj
vancement. which has rather
tardily come to Captain now

motion will be applauded with
rare unanimity by the American

ALL FACTIONS MUST HAIR

1t was expected thaIMr Cleveland's
speech would not find favor with Mr..
Bryan. The latter made a statement
explaining why he was not present at
the Tilden Club meeting. He thinks
there can be no harmony where Mr.
Cleveland is concerned. He contends
that all Mr.. Cleveland and his friends
want is control of the party and that
means an abandonment of the party's
position and a return t. the practices
Of Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
ton.
Mr. Cleveland" he continues, "se-
cured his nomination in 1892 by Sc
cret ba gain with the financiers; his
committee collected from the corpora

Cabinet with corporation agents and

Methods
This Is a very severe arraignment,
but much of it is true as far as the peo-
pie could judge from facts and appear
ances. And the CITIZEN as well as
Mr.. Bryan called attention to what it
considered Mr.. Clevelands shortcom-
ing at the time and condemned him
for the attitude he assumed when Mr..
Bryan was the candidate for the office
he filled for two terms. But the CTrI-
ZEN considers, as do all fair-minded
Democrats, that this is not the time
for elimination and recrimination and
that the faults of individuals should be
condoned and all forces aligned for the
