LOOKS FOR CATHOLICS
TO CLAIM THE NEW WORLD
Archbishop QuigIey Expects the Rule of Rome to
Become Dominant in ReIigion-He
Talks of Education.

Chicago, Dec. 2O-"The New World
was discovered by Catholics and the
cross was planted in the name of the
church. We cannot get it out of our
heads that Catholics will yet claim
the New World again."
This hope was expressed by Arch
bishop James e. Quigley in an adj
Womans League.
The Archbishop declared that the
security of the national constitution
increases proportionately with the in
crease in the number of Roman Cath
olics. He urged the establishment Of
a subsidiary system of public schools
for the benefit of the Roman Catholics
and Characterized the rule requir-
ing the candidates for public school
teachers to have normal school train
ing to be nothing more nor less than
tyranny and oppression.
1.-THE supreme and fundamental error
of the age is liberalism" urged the
Archbishop. liberalism delegates to
the state all rights, and this is when
the state and the church conflict"
The education of the child, he added
should rest with the church and not
with the state. He declared that the
United States constitution stood for
individualism. He asserted that to-day
the state is encroaching on the rights
of the church and that God is not
recognized in any of the modern con-
stitutions. "Protestants and non-Cath-
olics," the Archbishop continued, "are
undertaking through the present public
school system to prevent the Catholic
children becoming firmly cemented to
their church and to keep the Catholic
church from getting a stronger foot
hold. The purpose Of the non-Catho-
lies is to prevent the growth of the
church. They will scruple at no viola

ton of justice to gain their ends.
I'm adopting the rule that a candl-
date for teacher must attend the nor
NAL school for a time the Board Of
Education has taken action, against
which we must always protest.
THE state" he urged, must pro-
vide schools for the minority as well as
for the majority. The state should
divide the public school system and
maintain a separate system for the
minority-separate in the sense of re-
ligious teaching. The two systems
could be under one control. but in the
Catholic division Catholic principles
should be taught. This would give the
minority an equal chance with the
majority. This would be just and
equitable. but not satisfactory to the
Professionals.
1.-THE cry all over is for non-sec-
tartan education. The Catholic schools
are recognized by the state. but they
are not supported by the state because
Catholics believe that it would be
dangerous for the state to support
them"

Lake City, Fla, Dec. 20.--At s o'clock
last night Foster Hall, the barracks
of the University of Florida, was burn
ed to the ground. No lives were lost.
but it was one of the largest confia-
grations ever witnessed in the history
of Lake City.
Various rumors were circulated as to

Foster Hall was one of the prettiest
buildings in the city. and before the
elimination of women from this insti-
tuition was a young ladies dormitory.

racks and was also the residence of
President T. H. Taliaferro. who was
out of the city at the time of the fire.
and knew nothing of It until after the
building was destroyed.
Many OF the students had returned
TO their homes for the Christmas holi-
days. but those who were left sustain
ed the loss of all their belongings except
the clothes which they wore at that
time.

New Orleans, Dec. 20.-Under the
sunniest of skies to-day the Stars and
Stripes rose gracefully to the top Of
the tall staff in the historic Place
DArmes, amid the ringing of cathedral
bells, the roar of cannon. and the
shouts of the populace, and the CEN
tennial celebration of the Louisiana
transfer ended in a burst of patriotism.
The days exercises were impressive
and inspiring. They opened with the
Pontifical mass in the old st. Louis
Cathedral, built while the Spaniards
were still in possession of Louisiana,
the shrine to which Andrew Jackson
went Immediately after the battle of
New Orleans to hear the high mass
of thanksgiving, sung for the victory
Of the American arms.
The scene in the cathedral to-day was
q striking one. Festooned in the great
nave were the flags of the celebrating
nations, the red and yellow of Spain,
the tri-color of France and the red,
white and blue, of the American re-
public. The immense auditorium and
the space in the galleries were crowd
ed with a representative congregation.
The gold lace of the army and navy
uniforms and the bright colors Of rich
ly dressed women produced an effective
picture.
In the brilliant robes of his exalted
station Archbishop Chapelle ohiciated
IN the celebration Of the mass with the
assistance of the diocese. The music
was superb. The regular choir of the
cathedral was supplemented with the
principal artists of the French opera
troupe. and a full orchestra. The
solos were sung by professional talent
and the Tie Deum" by the clergy In
the sanctuary. and thirty male voices
IN the choir, Rev. Father DeLamor-
iniere, the Jesuit orator, preached an

MANIC CHESTER MARKET.

Manchester, Dec. 2O.-The absorbing
feature of the cloth market during
the past week was the violent and in
applicable agitation in American cot
ton on the Liverpool market. Con-
sequently the cloth business was to a
great extent at a standstill, causing
much uneasiness and anxiety. The
increased cost of production prevented
the acceptance of many offers.
There were occasional transactions
in medium and low qualities for India.
China staples were in poor request
while some descriptions Of fancy goods
met with a fair inquiry.
The trade in yarns was very limited,
spinners asking prohibitive prices as a
protection against the vagaries of the
cotton market.

PHOSPHATE SHIPMENTS.
What Is Said of the One-Cent Per
Mile Freight Rate.

Mile Freight Rate.
Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 20.-While the
people of Fernandina regard the recent
ruling of the Florida Railroad Commits
sion forcing a 1-cent per mile phosphate
rate as of great benefit to that port
and against the ports of Savannah and
Port Tampa, it is not regarded that
way by the phosphate shippers. The
exporters are the ones who use the
ports and they claim that the reduction
of the rates in favor of any port will
have tendency to enhance the BUSH
ness of one port as against the other.
Such firms as II. F. Dutton & Co,
fhe Dunnellon Phosphate Company
and Buttengbach will ship as they have
been shipping in the past and the small
shippers will ship to the ports desig-
mated by the brokers who do the ex-
porting for them. There are conditions
in favor of ports which the rates to
those ports cannot effect. In the first
place the rates for ocean freight have
more to do with the selection of the
ports than do the freight rates by rail.
The phosphate exporters claim that
they have sent their rock through Sa-
Vannah or Port Tampa because they
could make better contracts with the
owners of ships during the cotton sea-
son and in a great many instances at
other times Of the year.
But for small shipments there is no
doubt that Fernandina will reap some
benefit from the reduction in the rate.
The phosphate situation in this state
is regarded as peculiar just at this
time and the buyers state that it is
difficult to predict the prices to prevail
when the time for making the next
years contracts is here. Some of the
miners are looking forward to the time
when the Florida miners will control
the price of high grade Florida rock.
