CHURCH CLAIMS PROPERTY.
Bishop Blenk of Porto Rico Consults
State Department Solicitor.

Bishop Blenk of Porto Rico called at the
State Department today to consult Solicitor
Penficld respecting certain converts and
ccnycntual lands in Porto Rico. 1t ap-
pears that there were two converts, one
valued at 100000 and the other at $4,000,
with land to the value of $50 600, in the
possession of the Spanish government when
Porto Rico passed into the possession of
the United States The Catholic Church
claims these converts and lands and it is
understood that the governor of Porto Rico
regards the claim as equitable, but is with
out authority of law to turn over the prop
erty, which is now in his possession, TO the
church. Therefore Bishop B.enk is seeking
legislation at the hands OF Congress TO
straighten the title to the property.

Nothing Known Here Regarding the

terday has absolutely no connection. with
any pending German claims against Ven
ezuela. The ships are going to Venezuelan
waters in the ordinary course of naval
duty, merely to look after German inter-
ests during the existence of revolutionary
troubles there.
No advices have been received at the
State Department by cable touching the
reported bOmbardment of La Guaira by

come to hand is dated about a fortnight
back and contains no news touching the

Some of the Appropriations.
THE DISTRICT JUDGEsH1P.
Question Of Selecting Judge Bradley's
Successor May Be Deferred.


1t is stated on excellent authority at the
and Attorney General Knox have not had
opportunity to take up the question Of
the nomination of judge Of the Supreme
Court Of the District to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Bradley.
When the attorney general returned from
Old Point Comfort. he found a number of
more pressing matters for consideration,
and he and the President left the District
judgeship, as well as the Court of Claims
judgeship in it's present status, concluding
to take it up later. 1t is possible that some
consideration of the subject will be given
by the President and Attorney General to-
morrow or Saturday. They will certainly
take up the two judgeships when they have
disposed of more pressing and important
business.
Several District people have discussed
the judgeship with Attorney General Knox.
To most of them he has appeared to be
favorably impressed with Mr.. Thompson,
his assistant attorney general, and there
was little doubt of his recommendation of
that man. Some strong representations as
to the requirements and needs of the Dis
trict, as well as the fairness of the case,
were made to Mr.. Knox by different peo-
pie, and these may induce some change in
his recommendations. This, however, is
considered improbable.
The suggestion has been advanced that a
District man be appointed judge at this
time and provision made for Mr.. Thompson
upon the retirement of Judge Bingham CT
Hagner, but the friends of Mr. Thompson
meet this with the suggestion that there
would be just as much wisdom in select
ing Mr.. Thompson now and appointing q
District man to the next vacancy or vacan-
cies in tho court.
There Is said to be no particular reason
for hurry In the matter Of either of the
vacant judgeships, and 90 the whole mat
ter may go over until next week. Senator
McLaurin's nomination for the Court OF
Claims Will probably not be made until
toward the close. Of the session OF Con-
