SAYS CATHOLIC CHURCH
WILL OWN THE WEST
Archbishop Quigley Sees the Dawn
of New Roman Era.

CHICAGO. May 5.-@Since l have seen
the Western parochiaI schools, 1 have
come 10 the conclusion that in fifty
years, if things go on as they have been
going, the Catholic Church Will actually
own the West
Such was the declaration of Archbishop
Quigley last night before the children of
May Sodality. at the Holy Name parish
school The och sion was a reception
given TO the archbishop by members CT
the sodality, and the prelatc was the
only man in the gathering of several
hundred persons.
In twenty years" said he, this
country is going TO rule the world. Kings
and emperors will pass away, and the
democracy of the United States Will take
their place The West will dominate the
country. and what l have seen of the
Western parochial schools has proven
that the generation which follows US
will be exclusively Catholic.
When the United States rules the
world. the Catholic Church will rule the
world. I'd like to see the politician who
would try 10 rule in opposition 10 the
church in Chicago. His reign would be
short. indeed"

TREASURY To FIGHT

Court If Necessary.

METHOD OF TESTS INVOLVED

The decision OF Judge Townsend of
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals at New York, in the sugar rebate
case, has not yet been received at the
Office of the Solicitor for the Treasury
Department, but it was ascertained this
morning that it will be carried to the

point at issue. In the meantime many
hundred thousand dollars which have
been paid under protest by sugar i'm
porters will remain tied up at the
Treasury, and will be added to as i'm
portations are mads.
Five years have elapsed since the
sugar interests appealed from the de-
cision of the Treasury Department re-
garding the manner in which tests of
sugar should be made to determine the
amount OF duty to be paid. The case
is interesting, though it has been little
understood by the general public owing
to the too frequent use OF scientific
terms in describing it,
The Polariscope Test.
The appeal was from the action of
the collector of the port OF New York
in assessing duty by certain test of
made by the appraisers on the basis OF
the official polariscopic test. The polari-
scope, an instrument which is now IN
general use to determine the saeeharine
strength of sugar, is made in Germany.
The fact that the instrument used in
making the test is OF German manufac-
ture plays an important part in the ques-
ton at issue between the sugar import
ers and the Government. for the reason
that the polariseope is made 10 be used

United States Government conducted a
series OF experiments to determine the
effect on the polariscope Of the increased
temperature. The tests were conducted
with such care that the Government wac
able TO ascertain the effect of each ad-
ditional degree above 63.
AS result of the official experiments,
the Government adopted, in 1897, the
system of using a thermometer in the
laboratory. and OF adding or deducting
