SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES.
Discussed by Bishop McFaul Of Tren-
ton, N. j., at Chicago-Friars
and School Question.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The American Fed
GRAFTON of Catholic societies met today.
In the afternoon, after addresses of well
come by DR.. H. s.. Taylor in behalf of
Mayor Harrison and NJ. F. Girten in
behalf of the Catholic societies of the
city, the convention went into eXecu-
tive session and organized. Short ad-
dresses were made by Bishops Messmer
of Green Bay, Wis, McFaul of Tren-
ton, N. j., and by the president of the
federation. 1t was evident from the
tenor of the remarks that the conven-
ton would regard the manifesto of
Archbishop as warning them against
discussion of the administrators
methods in the Philippines. At the
evening meeting Bishop McFaul was
the principal speaker and directed his
attention to the treatment Of the friars
and the school question in the Philip
pines. The bishop said that the calm.
intelligent observer must admit some
statements in the press regarding the
situation in the Philippines were either
incorrect or exaggerated At the same
time he thought there was substantial
foundation for most of the reports
which justified structures on those "ac-
countable for abuse of power" More
denials. he said. are not conclusive. Re-
ports of dissertation and looting of
Catholic churches were at first denied
by high army officers. yet proof was so
certain that claims for damages to &C.

the government. The preparation of

the truth of the reports. The introduce

said. too, the federation is deeply in
terested in obtaining lust treatment
for the %friars.' Bishop McFaul charged
that, in selecting teachers. discrimina-
ton was practiced against Catholics,
because of A total of 967 teachers who.
he said. had been sent to the islands but
1S or 10 were Catholics. He denied the

Revolutionists on the Run.

Panama, Aug. photographic COM
munication with San Carlos was re-es-
tablished this afternoon and at 5 p. m.
General Salazar received a telegram
from San Carlos saying some revolu-
tionary officers belonging to General
Herrera's forces had passed that town
in flight. They reported the defeat of
the revolutionists at Aqua Dulce. This
news has not been confirmed and fur
ther Information is awaited. The Unit
ed States cruiser Ranger is reported to
have gone to Aqua Dulce to bring
the wounded back to Panama.
The government gunboat Boyaca, for
which the Ranger is looking, left here
last Tuesday with 300 men for General
Berti, near Aqua Dulce. She was attack
ed by the revolutionary fleet and oblig-
ed to retreat. Since that time nothing
has been heard from her, but she is be-

PROPOSITION NOT ACCEPTED.
Tin Workers Refuse a Cut-Result of
Vote Which Has Been in
Progress for Weeks.

Pittsburg, Aug. 5.-The proposition
of the American Tin Plate company to
employees, that they accept a reduction
of wages of % per cent has been re-
jected. A vote in progress for several
weeks was tabulated today with the
above result. Another conference be-
tween the company and Amalgamated
Association officials has been arrang-
ed for will probably be held in
New York within two weeks. The prop
osition is thoroughly understood by the
workers, it having been explained that
in order to secure foreign trade of about
1,500, 900 boxes the general wage reduc-
ton would not be more than 8 1-2 per
cent and production would be increased
fully 16 IL per cent, which would in
crease the earnings of the workers
about IL 1-2 per cent.
1t is explained that while the MAORI
ty OF the men would work at a slight
reduction in order to secure more en-
ployment, most of them are Welchmen
and are friendly to fellow workmen
across the ocean. If the proposition had
been accepted the tin plate workers in
Wales would be deprived of employ
ment. This fact influenced many to
vote against accepting the offer. The
American Tin Plate company will be
unable to secure this increased business
and, as stocks are large. it is forced to
close a number of it's plants. The Shen-
ango works at Newcastle. the largest in
the world. has been shut down indef-
nitely and several in Indiana have clos
ed. Two at New Kensington are also
Idle. All the non-uion plants of the
company are in full operation.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Injunctions were

rectors for more time in which to make

Concerning the ection on the board
Thoburn said: THE suspension will

No Resumption of Work.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 5.-There
was no RESUMPTION of mining in the
strike region today, and there is re-
ioicing at headquarters. The only in
formation given out by the operators
is that when they get ready to resume,
they will do so. Strikers are appre-
hensive some coal companies will
spring p surprise some morning, and
they will have a colliery in operation
before the strikers know it. To pre-
vent such a surprise the strikers are
watching the collieries closely and also
the movements of the men who go in
and out of the works.

FREIGHT BLOCKADE.
Chicago Railroads Cannot Move
Freight as Fast as
Offered.

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Freight has &C
cumulated in the railroad yards in
Chicago to such an extent that the con-
gestion is greater than it has ever been
previously, according to railway officials.
Chicago merchants who do a whole
sale business have been complaining for
months of the delay in getting the
merchandise to points of destination.
Freight Offices have been so deluged
with requests from shippers for
"tracers" for shipments that, accord
ing to one merchant, the local Freight
Agents Association has appealed to
persons shipping goods not to ask to
have them traced unless the delay is
longer than a week or unless the prop
erty is perishable.
The congestion and delay are not con-
fined to Chicago trunk lines alone, In
fact, great deal of the delay here in
handling through freight as we'll as
local and broken carload lots is attri-
buted by railway freight officials to the
congestion on the lines east and west of
here.
There is big shortage in rolling
stock. One railroad operator said 1t
would require at least 25 per cent. more
motive power and cars to handle the
freight offered to his road for transpor.
tation without delay.
"Never in the history of the coun-
try" said Pennsylvania official, "has
there been such volume of business.
1t is so great we cannot handle it, and
for that reason we will have to shut
down our receiving offices for at least a
week. That will give us an oppor-
tunity to catch up and will give us a
cnance to save thousands of dollars in
damages. The business is such that
perishable goods are rotting on the
tracks"
Chicago shippers talk freely of the
congested condition here and elsewhere.
They corroborate the railway officials
in the statement that the amount of
freight being offered is enough, and
they assert that the congestion in Chi
cago is the greatest ever experienced
except during a railroad strike. Rail,
roads are also hampered in Chicago to
some extent by the immense amountsof
work of track elevation. Nearly all the
roads have part of their tracks inside
the CITY limits in process of elevation,
and this, of course, interferes with the
movement of trains.
