SPOKE ON PURGATORY.
Large Congregation Listened to Father
Sutton's Talk Last Night.

|
Last evening in st. Peters Pro
Cathedral. Father Xavier Sutton
delivered another interesting lecture
on the subject "Purgatory" He
also answered many question:
which had been placed in the ques
ton box by non catholics.
Father Sutton explained and de
Tended the Catholic position on this
question. First he carefully defined
the Catholic position as to the
middle state after death and then
, proceeded to show why this position
is held. The church teaches, he ex-
planned, THAT every man will be
Judged according to his works.
1t is not fair to assume that simply
because man is not perfect he must
go to hell. yet unless he can go to
heaven his soul must go to the
other place unless there lis middle
state il which his soul may be puri-
fed OF what talnt it has, in prepa-
ration for heaven.
1t is because reason teaches this,
because til. church has alwavs
taught aud believed it. because the
writings Of I'll. earliest OF the IA.
TIERS bear witness to it, and be.
cause, too. there are strong ev-
dences in The New Testam. ant that
Cnrlst himself taught this doctrn.,
that the church still teaches it.
1t is useless, he said, to pray for
souls 10 HE'LL for there is no re Temp
ton from that state. There is no |
need in praying for souls in heaven,
Tor they need no prayers. But, added
the missionary, souls not yet in
heaven certainly can, in all reason,
be benefited by prayers, II prayers
avail any one in earthly life, and
to just the same extent.
II is on this%easoning and because
1t has been Nfe custom always, even
back in theT,ys Of the old Jewish
law, that the Catholic Church prays
for the dead. In conclusion Father
Sutton made a strong appeal to his
non Catholic hearers to consider
earnestly this doctrine which has
such a strong bearing upon human
life here and hereafted.
He also spoke OF, the claim that
priests were able to see into purga-
tory and see how long a soul is to
stay there, He said no honest priest
would make euch a claim. This
evening he will lecture on Cell
bacy.

GERMANY WINS
ANOTHER VICTORY
BY the Decision of King
Oscar of Sweden in the
Samoan Question

Washington, Nov 1s.-By previous
arrangement between the principals
there was yesterday published stimuli
taneously in Washington. London and
Berlin the full text of the decision
given his majesty, King Oscar ii. as
arbitrator between the three countries
named of certain claims on account of
the military operations conducted in
Samoa in the year 1899. The decision
is long and abounds in whereases and
conclusions, and in substance it has
been announced heretofore in the cable
dispatches from Stockholm. The pre-
ceding publication. however, did not
convey to the officials here full reali-
cation of the complete victory Won by
Germany in this arbitration. for 1t ap-
pears that on every single point the
arbitrator adopted the most extreme
German view in opposition to the
United States and Great Britain.
The arbitration grew out of claims
by Germans or British subjects OF
American citizens for compensation or
account of losses they alleged they had
suffered in consequence of unwarrante6
military action on the part of German
British or American officers in Samoa
between the 1st Of January, 1899, and
the 18th of May following. The ques-
tion really at issue was whether or moi
the British and United States Govern
ment should be considered responsible
for the losses.
The arbitrators recite that the United
States steamship Philadelphia and thu
British ships Porpoise and Royalist
March Is, 1899, opened fire across thu
town of Apia, Samoa, directing thu
same against the forces Of High Chic
Mataafa; that the same vessels brough
the newly appointed king of Samoa
Malieto, and his forces to Mulinul
Point and supplied them arms and am
munition for the ensuing struggl
against Mataafa.
The decision concludes as follows
"That the military action in question
viz, the bringing back of the Malieto
ans and the distribution to them o
arms and ammunition, the lombard
ment, the military operations on shor
and the stoppage of the street traffic
cannot be considered as having bee
warranted. And that, therefore, hi
Britannia majesty's government an
the United States Government are re
sponsible under the convention of tn
9TH of November, 1899, for losses caus
ed by said military action, while re
serving for a future decision the que'
ton as to the extent to which the tw
governments, or each of them, may b
considered responsible for such losses.
