CATHOLIC BISHOPS MEET.
Matters Discussed at Con-
ference in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, October 15.-An important
conference of Catholic bishops of the Gin
cinnati diocese, with Archbishop Elder pre-
siding, is in executive session at st. Peters
Cathedral here today. Among those pres
ent or represented are Bishops Moeller of
Columbus, H. Ahlerding of Fort Wayne, ].
Richter of Grand Rapids, G. McCloskey of
Louisville, F. S. Chattard of Indianapolis,
J. s. Foley of Detroit, G. P. Macs of Gov
ington, Ky; Ignatfus Horstmann of Cleve-'
land and T. S. Beirne of Nashville.
The most important question considered
Is the attitude of the clergy toward the
Philippine controversy recently presented al
Rome by Governor General Taft. On this
question the clergy of some of the dioceses
have already declared their views, notably
at Cincinnati, Columbus, Fort Wayne and
Grand Rapids. Bishop Richter brought
some recent letters received from the Phil
ippines. Other matters under discus sion
were the transfer of the American hier-
archy and clergy from the jurisdiction Of
the propaganda to that Of the Vatican, the
division of certain dioceses and the reform
of church music.

THE COURT REBUKED.
Gen. MacArthur's Review Of Deser-
ter's Sentence.


Private Samuel Bean, 42d Company, Coast
Artillery, having been tried by a general
court martial convened at Fort DUPONT,
Del, and found guilty of desertion, was
sentenced to be dishonorably discharged the
service of the United States, forfeiting all
pay and allowances due him.
In his review of this case, General Mac
Arthur, commanding the Department of
the East, says:
'"The finding is approved, it being in ac-
cord with the evidence. But the sentence
is open to the objection that 1t does not
include confinement at hard labor. Under
the scale of punishments published in gen.
eral order 81, A. G. O., 1901. the prisoner
could have been dishonorably discharged
and confined at hard labor for the term
Of two years and eight months. While the
court in sentencing the prisoner may have
taken into consideration the length Of time
he had been in confinement awaiting trial,
it has failed to make mention of this, or
any other circumstances as reason for
it's leniency.
THE court is reminded that the review
ing officer is without authority to add to
the punishment which may be imposed by
it's sentence, and that 1t should properly
have given sentence commensurate with
the offense Of which the prisoner was
found guilty, and made recommendation
to clemency or have stated the considera-
tions which Influenced them in adjudging
an insufficient sentence. Subject to the
foregoing remarks the sentence is ap-
proved.

JAPAN BoRRows $4,000, 900.
Money to Be Expended in Increasing
Naval Establishment.

YOKOHAMA October l, via Victoria, B.
c., October 15.-News of the consummation
of the long-pending negotiations whereby
Japan obtains 5OOOO,OO0 yen (s2AOOO O00),
was sprung today on an unsuspecting pub
lie. The quiet way In which this large
amount Of money has been obtained with
out the least hint leaking out, even through
the local negotiators, is considered marvel
Gus, and reflects great credit on the Japan
ese fnanciers for diplomacy. The news is
received with much enthusiasm as an evil
dence of rising credit of the country and
the effect Of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
1t is believed now that Japan will proceed
to naval expansion, and execute other pub
lie undertakings which were waiting upon
revenue. But the chief effect of this re-
sale of the old imperial "fives will be the
restored self-esteem of the nation as
financial power with which to be counted

BABCoCK SEES SUCCESS.
Predicts Good Working Republican
Majority in the Next House.

Representative ]. w. Babcock of Wiscon-

sional committee, came to the city last
night from New York. At 1 o'clock this af-
ternoon he called upon President Roosevelt.
at the temporary White House. To his
friends Chairman Babcock spoke enthusi-
astcally of the probabilities Of republican
success in the country this fall
I'VE have reached the point In the cam
paign where We can see a republican ma
jority in the next House of Representatives
beyond any reasonable doubt" he said to
an Evening Star reporter. THE Presidents 8
efforts to settle the strike, which will no
doubt be successful, are greatly appreciated
by everybody regardless of politics, and
must necessarily be an element Of strength
in the campaign"
How about the situation in New York;"
was asked.
'It is in splendid shape. The republicans
have outgeneraIed the democrats in every
way. Hil1s attitude is an element OF
strength to the republican party and Of
weakr ess to his own party. The republi-
cans will gain the ninth congressional dis
trict beyond doubt. This is the Goldfogle
district. Adler, the republican candidate is
strong man and is putting up a wonderful
campaign"
MIR. Babcock why do you say that you
have reached the point in the campaign
where you see victory assured? Has there
been doubt in the past?"
II desire to say that heretofore, or up to
within very short time. the conditions
were not such as to warrant any safe esti-
mates Nominations had not been made
in many districts and conditions were not
settled. All difficulties have been adjusted
and l cannot see how there Is any posi-
bility of the republicans carrying the House
bility Of a doubt Of the republicans carry
ing the House Of Representatives by good
working majority"
Mr. Babcock will return to the headQuar-
ters In New York tonight.

BOWEN WANTS A SHIP
CRITICAL SITUATION AT THE
VENEZUELAN CAPITAL,
Apprehension Of Occupation by Insur-
gent Forces-Reports Battle
in Progress.

United States Minister Bowen at Caracas
has cabled the State Department, asking
that one or perhaps two more warshps be
sent to reinforce the gunboat Marietta at
La Guaira, in view of the present critical
situation which has arisen at the Vene-
zuelan capital Some time ago, when Presi-
dent Castro left his capital, Minister Bowen
expressed to the State Department his
fears that an occupation Of the capital by
the revolutionary forces would result in
rioting and pillage, and be attended with
great dangers to unprotected foreigners.
Such a situation, 1t is inferred here, Is
again imminent.
The nearest war vessel to the scene of
trouble outside of the Marietta is the gun
boat Montgomery, which left Haiti about
the first Of this month for Santa Marta,
near the mouth of the Magdalena river in
Colombia, to look into troubled situation.
Owing to the Interruptions to cable COM
munication the Navy Department has re-
ceived no report from the Montgomery
since she left Haiti, and 1t is feared that
now needed she cannot be reached with
dispatch. The Panther Is still at Colon,
and the Cincinnati has just arrived in Hal
tian waters There are several gunboats
and cruisers which are destined for the
Caribbean squadron, which are ready or
almost SO, for active service, namely, the
Newark, Machias and Bancroft at Boston.
the Hist at New London and the Detroit at
Portsmouth, N. H. But, from Minister
Bowen's advices, 1t appears that vessel
is needed at the earliest possible moment,
so it is probable that either the Panther
or the Cincinnati will be taken away from
her present post and sent to the Venezue-
Ian capital.
The following cablegram, received at the
State Department this morning from Min
lister Bowen, dated last night at Caracas,
shows the critical condition of affairs in the
field:
"The army is still near Valencia. No par
ticulars obtainable. Valencia closely sur
rounded and battle going on now.''

MITCHELL LEFT UNEXPECTEDLY
Probably Heard From President Late
at Night.

'.'> --SS'NAt.'NN =
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, October 15-Presi-
dent Mitchell of the miners union left
shortly after 3 o'clock this morning for
Washington. where he will hold a confer
ence with President Roosevelt today. Mr..
Mitchell gave no intimation he was going
until he left headquarters to go to the rail-
road station. 1t is believed the trip was
decided upon last night after he gave to
the press his statement to the effect that
the operators arbitration plan was not ad-
dressed to him and that he did not know
how the miners would receive it. No infor-
nation can be had lrese' as to what par
ticular phase of the operators, proposal
the President wishes % discuss with the
mine workers Leaders,. The President has
summoned him, it is Believed, to get his
views on the new praa, 1t Is known here
the proposition in ft5 present form is not
entirely satisfactory to Mr.. Mitchell. Some
OF the local leaders are of the opinion that
plan. one that will give the miners equal
representation on the commission. The
strikers feel the arbitration scheme as 1t
now stands Is not fair to them.
If proposition Is finally agreed upon 1t
Is probable a convention will be called to
meet within four days from the time the
call is sent out. It Is stated by some of
those at headquarters that Mr. Mitchell
has the power to send the men back to
work Immediately.
Mr.. Mitchell's departure. for washington
has again raised the hopes of the miners
that the end is near. It IS their opinion
that President Roosevelt and he will come
to some understanding which will result in
a speedy closing up Of the negotiations.
The superintendents of the coal compa-
nies IN this vicinity reported today that no
additional men [eturned to work today, and
that they did not look for any increase SO
long as the negotiations for arbitration are
In progress.
District Presidents Nichols Duffy and
Fahy, who arrived here yesterday, were at
neadquarters today. They had little to say
on the situation exceptato infer that they
find the sentiment Of mott of the men
averse to the new arbitration plan. The
presidents refused to talk OF Mr.. Mitchell q
visit to the national capital.

were implicated in the affair. Two of the
robbers were killed by Jarvis Meach and a
third is fatally hurt and in custody. Tho
authorities are positive that the man ar
rested here today accounts for the fourth
member Of the gang.
1t is feared that Lorin Meach may die as
