Father Coleman Makes Statement About Catholics in Philippines.
 San Francisco, May 21.-The Rev Father Ambrose Coleman, a Domini- can priest, who is on his way to Ma n1la on special mission, made com ment to-day on the reported remarks Of Archbishop Ireland concerning re- Hg1ous conditions in the Philippines Archbishop Ireland was quoted as say ing that Rome had left the entire Philippine religious question to Mgr Guidi, and the three American bishops who are to go there. Father Coleman says the entire question virtually was settled in the recent pontifical letter which directed that the Dominican friars are to retain control of the Uni versity of Manila and that the bishops are instructed to determine what par fshes are to be entrusted to the friars. There is not word, he says, about the expulsion or elimination of any kind. Father Coleman declares that Archbishop Ireland did not speak as an archbishop, but merely as citizen, and he Father Coleman) cannot under stand the reasons which prompted Archbishop Ireland to make the state ment attributed to him.

One of the officers of the league said to-day: ''This talk about the league offering the democratic nomination for mayor to any person is all wrong. The league has as yet no candidate for mayor. It has never authorized any person to offer the nomination for chief executive of this city to any per son in behalf of the league, notwith- standing all reports to the contrary.

GAINED AN HOUR TO-DAY.
Cars Were Started in Bridge
 port at Eight O'clock.

Deputies Were Not on All the Cars
 Driver of Coal Cart Fined $25 for
 Obstructing Tracks-Reilly, the Man
 Whom it is Alleged. Mayor Mulvihill
 Had Released, Was Held Until Sat
 urday Under a SLIGO Bond.
 Bridgeport, May 21.-The Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting Go to-day further increased the number of cars in operation in the city and suburbs, all the lines here except the East Main street line being open for business. Cars were started to-day at o'clock, an hour earlier than has been the prac- tice since the strike of motormen and conductors began a week ago. Condi- tiOns remained quiet this morning, so that it was not considered necessary to deputy sheriffs as guards on all cars, though on some lines the armed guards still remained on duty.
 A coal car driver, M. J. Hawley, who was arrested yesterday on the charge of Obstructing a car With his cart, was fined $25 and costs in the city court tor day.
 Matthew J. Reilly's case was con- tinued until Saturday, under bonds Of $1, 100. He is charged with throwing a missile at car and with resisting an officer. Reilly is the man whom two deputy sheriffs tried to arrest during the riot Sunday, and whose escape is alleged to have been furthered by the action of Mayor Mulvihill. After Reil- ly was taken into custody yesterday, he added some testimony to the con- troversy over the question whether the mayor did or did not interfere with the arrest. Reilly is quoted as declar- ing that the mayor said: "I am mayor of Bridgeport. Let that man alone" :" When this was called to the attention of Mayor Mulvihill he said that he could not remember his exact words, although he did not admit that Reilly was right. The opinion of those most familiar with the occurrence is that the conflict of statement in regard to the matter has been due largely to the fact that all parties were in a state or high excitement at the time and that if the mayor made the remark at tributed to him, he has forgotten it.
 Westport May 21.-The first car to leave Westport since the strike began was sent out this morning from Bridge port at S:3O. There were a number of passengers on each trip. Eight of the sixteen union trolleymen in this town returned to work. 70.

MORGAN AND ENGLAND

The New Yorker is Planning An Under ground Railway in London.
 New York, May 21.-There are indi- cations that J. Pierpont Morgan is go- ing to turn his attention chiefly to Eng land for some time to come, says 8 London dispatch to the Press.
 Since his arrival in England four weeks ago he has been working with tremendous zeal on his new scheme for building an underground electric line from the Bank of England north east towards Wallham abbey, at a cost of S7O,OOOOOO. The bill authorizing the road was thrown out by the com mittee of parliament to which it had been referred, ten days ago.
 It will, however, come before parlia- ment again next week, but in another form. and will it is expected go through MT Morgan is offering inducements to local municipal bodies along the pro- posed route. The borough council of Hackney have received from him all offer to purchase 600 feet of land on which to build a public library provid~ ing the council will not oppose him in obtaining a site for a station in con venient spot within their Jurisdiction
 The proposed new line runs through a section part of which is now sparsely occupied. but it would tap a large su- burban district beyond, occupied chief ly by workmen who have gone out into the country for the cheaper rents

Sheriff Durham and State Attorney Williams
 Came to Town This Morning
Considerable Mystery ShOuds the Aair is Said the Men are Be- ing Arrested for ConspiracySK of the Men Had Been Brought in at Three O'cIock--CounseI for the Ac- cused Men Were Surprised and Say
 They Cannot Understand
 This Latest Move.

, ley company by assaulting its en1A ployes and obstructing tracks. All the men answered ''Not guilty" State Attorney Williams them went over the whole case from begin ming to end. When the state attorney finished he asked that bond of $3.OOO be put on for the attempt to murder count, and a bond of $2,000 in the conspiracy charge. He also asked that the cases be set down for trial the first Tuesday in June, one week from next Tuesday. He said the cases were important and that the minimum punishment was 10 years in prison.
 Attorney O'Neil in reply said thO accused were ready for trial now. In fact they would rather go right on than wait until June. He said the men were tried in the city court when the excitement over the affair was at its height, and there was no need at this time for raising the bonds. The case in MT O'Neills opinion was a very fimsy one at best and only one man could in the remotest manner be connected with it. He couldn't under stand the unusual activity displayed by the trolley company unless it was done to overawe the people. He said he hoped the court would not impose an excessive bond. Attorney Williams replied and MT O'Neill again spoke for low bond.
 | When he concluded Judge Wheeler left the bond of $2,oO0 on attempt at murder charge stand. and fixed the bond in the conspiracy charge at $1,~ 500.
 The attorneys then discussed the time of the trial.
 It seems to be the opinion that th4 authorities were getting trifie anx ious about the men and so brought | forward these new charges with the idea that the bond would be placed high enough so that there will be no 1 question of their appearances when the time comes for trial. It was also mored that new clue had been obtained in the Mendelssohn case, and that the authorities had this in mind when the arrests on bench warrants were contemplated.

COTTON BUYERS BADLY MIXED
An Excited Crowd in the Pit Again
 This Morning..

New York, May 21.-It was a badly "mixed'' crowd that surrounded the local pit in the cotton market this morning. Liverpool cables showed some irregularity, but were still from 10 to 12 points below expectations The weather map again reflected favor able conditions and early estimates indicated that port receipts for the day would again greatly exceed last year. There was a disposition to let the big men of either side set the pace and es- tablish the initial range of prices. Still there was enough business to make the opening an active one while the speculative atmosphere was still full of excitement and uncertainty. At the start the bears had all the best of it, first prices being II to 19 points lower. Following this after some ir- regularity there was sharp rally un- der bull support.
