70 GET new CARDINAL.
Gibbons Returns with Il Prediction
of Papnl Action for
America.

New York, Sept. 23.-Cardinal Glib
bons arrived here Tuesday on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse. A delegation Of
priests and laymen from Baltimore went
down the bay on revenue cutter to
greet him and welcome him home. In
speaking of the new pontiff, the cardinal
said that the choice of the conclave had
been most happy from an American
viewpoint, as Plus X. was deeply inter-
ested in the development of the church
in this country, and was singularly famil-
lar with American institutions. The
cardinal had several lengthy interviews
, with the pope regarding church affairs
in this country.
| The cardinal was not inclined to dis
! cuss the probable policy of the new papal
/ regime, but said that no radical changes
in American church administration
would ensue.
Asked about the possibility at an
/ other American cardinal being ap-
pointed, Cardinal Gibbons answered:
''There will be another cardinal 1t
would not surprise me to see the num-
Der of American cardinals augmented
in the near future"
| Concerning the probable relations be-
tween the new pope and the Italian
| government Cardinal Gibbons said: ::
'The pope as patriarch of Venice was
on very friendly terms with the king,
but what man does when he is mere
private in the ranks, SO to speak, and
when he is elevated to power and re-
sponsiblity are wholly different things
What Plus X. will do in this matter is
of course unknown You may rely on
it, however, there will be no sudden
change. These things are not done in a
way to attract attention. If change
does take place it will be a gradual
change, the friendliness between the
vatican and the quirnal will grow.
Plus x. is not now the patriarch of
Venice, and While he may retain his
friendly feelings for the king, these
feelings will cause no sudden change of
papal policy, but will probably in the
course of time bring about improved
relationship and a better state of
things. The king, l believe, is intlu-
enced by very kindly feelings toward
the pope"

taken to mean that he will appeal TO the
country on his demand for preferential
tariff policy.
Chancellor of the lIxchequer Ritchia
resigns because he is at variance With
Premier Balfour's policy of retaliatory

berlain's scheme for preferential duties.
In the conservative clubs the manner
in which the crisis was projected was
almost as great a surprise as in liberal
quarters. Curiosity centers on the at-
titude Of the Duke of Devonshire, whose
resignation has been fully expected. 1t

WAR MAY BE AVERTED.
Peuce:bIe Solution of Differences Be-
tween Turkey and Bull
tsurin Likely.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 23.-Within 4S
hours the question oil peace or war will
probably be settled, according to au-
thortative opinions here. Premier
Petrof had an interview Tuesday morn
ing with Ali Feruh Bey, at which the
whole situation in Macedonia was dis
cussed. AS a result OF this conference
much better feeling prevailed and con-
fident hopes are expressed that sat
isfactory adjustment will be reached.
This view is strengthened by report
from Constantinople to the effect that
the council of ministers after some days
discussion is within measurable dis
rance OF an agreement on the chief
points at issue.
The premier complained to the Turk
ish diplomatic agent of the situation
created by the arrival at Burgas of thou
sands OF destitute and starving refugees
from the district of Losengrad. After
discussion, an understanding was prac-
tically reached that Turkey should guar
antee the safe protection of the refugees
and take steps to reinstate them in their
homes.

ences in Constantinople and Sofia has
induced much more hopeful feeling
here, although in Balkan affairs it is al
ways possible that the next days hap
penings MAY change the entire situa-
tion.

strengthen the Bulgarian frontier
forces and it is reported that troops will
occupy all the commanding positions,
thus making it almost impossible for
bands to cross the frontier. Some reei-

the authorities concerned to prevent
their repetition, and he gave the Rus
sian ambassador to understand that
the guilty parties would be punished
The German ambassador. Baron Mar
schall Won Bieberstein. also had an au-
dience with the sultan, who showed
himself most optimistic. The latter
declared that the insurrection was
drawing to a close. In fact, it had al
ready been suppressed in some dis

Immediately issue proclamations an

cation of the reform scheme.
