said the Bishop, 1.-THE friar served not only
in the capacity of a pastor in the rural
parishes Of the islands. but as a civil magis-
trate. and the hostilities which " been
waged against him were aimed at the civil
position he occupied rather than at the
friar in his religious capacity.
Intention now seems to be to put the
church upon the same basis that 1t is In
this country, and when the people have be-
come accustomed to a clergy free from
civil entanglements, my opinion Is that
there will be no further objection to the

A belated party Of distinguished Austria
liam ~clergyrfen who intended witnessing the
grand act' at the st. Louis University on
the occasion Of President Roosevelt's recent
visit, departed Thursday on the continual
ton Of their remarkable journey around the
world. after spending several interesting
days in st. Louis, despite their disappoInt-
ment at not arriving in time for the rare
theological event.
Bishop John Gallagher Of G~ouldbourn,
New South Wales. and Bishop Joseph Hig-
gins of Rockampton, Province of Queens
land, were accompanied by Dean P. ]. Stat
terry of Sydney. Australia. They arrived in
st. Louis Saturday. three days too late to
be present at Father villalonga's defense
of Catholic theology, but in time to witness
a part Of the ceremonies attending the Ded-
ication of the Worlds Fair. They met the
President at Kansas City before their ar
rival here.
Three months ago Tuesday the three
clergymen started from Sydney on an Of
fetal mission to Rome. Their presence Is
not required at the Vatican until next Oc-
tober. and it was planned to make the jour-
ney one Of instruction and pleasure as well
as one Of business. and with this idea in
view a route was chosen that would bring
them by the way of America on their jour-
ney to Rome and talk them around the
other side of the world on their return
home.
STOPPED AT MANILA.
After leaving Sydney on one of the great
ocean steamers, several stops were made
along the Australian coast before putting
to sea and opportunity was afforded the
Bishops to visit some Of the beautiful spots
OF their own country before setting out
upon the long voyage which Is to show
them SO much Of the things that other
countries possess.
Thursday Island. a British possession.
where the great pearl fisheries are located,
was the next stopping place Of the steamer
and there the stay was long enough to
afford the passengers ample time to inves-
tigate the interesting industry carried on
with SO much profit by the natives of his
little spot.

stand that with the separation from the
State the church becomes dependent upon
him. There are patient workers In the
church. however. and they will in time put
the church upon a permanent footing, and
I believe that most Of the friars will after
q few years become adapted to the circum-
stances and return to their old charges to
be met with a glad reception. The Catho-
lie is the only religion that these people
know. and 1t will serve more effectively
thar any other In Outstanding their revo-
l%utionary spirit"
THREE DAYS AT HoNG-KoNG.
On February 2 the bishops departed from
Manila for Hong-Kong. where they re-
manned three days. Leaving their steamer
they took an ex cursion ninety miles up the
Canton River to the great Chinese city Of
Canton, spending a very interesting day
there and returning by boat at night. Their
next stop was in japan. where seventeen
days were spent in visiting the principal
cities of the Mikado's Government.
At Osaka, a city Of 100000 inhabitants,
they arrived in time to visit the great ma
tional industrial exposition then open In
that center Of Oriental industry. Bishop
Gallagher said hat he was surprised at the
great progress made by the Japanese peo-
pie in modern sciences; their achievements
in the line of electric and steam equipment
being equal to those Of European countries
While their art, he thought. was some.
what to be criticised. because of its char
acteristic tendency to the fantastic, he saw
originality in their efforts at painting thai

| Yokohoma was also visited before the
! journey was resumed, and everywhere the
tourists found something to interest them
in a general way besides the religious sub.
jects, which were always first to be consid.

of the local clergy. and were given many
| opportunities to inspect the country's re.
sources and meet it's citizens.

but there Is abundant opportunity for cap

try. but to what extent I do not know.
Sugar is q staple and forever in demand. II

industry of this Pacific Ocean island Of

ARRIVAL AT SAN FRANCISCO. q,
From Hawaii the party sailed for San
Francisco where the bishops arrived on
April 5. After spending a few days in Cal
ifornia, Bishop Gallagher went to Portland.
Ore, Seattle. and then through Idaho and
Utah to Colorado Springs. Denver was
also visited and the last stop before coming
to st. Louis was at Kansas City. where he
met President Roosevelt. Bishop Haggins
came from a Francisco to st. Louis d.
rect.
Thursday. after paying a visit to all Of
the principal points Of interest in the city.
Bishop Gallagher departed for Cincinnati.
From Cincinnati he will go to the national
capital. then to Philadelphia and Baltimore
before arriving in New York, when he will
rejoin Bishop Higgins who departed with
Cardinal Gibbons Monday. They will sail
about May 81.
Being a long time way from our mother
country. we will. of course, land at Queens
town. said Bishop Gallagher. II left the
old island thirty-four years ago.. and 1t has
been twenty years since I last paid It a
visit. I will be glad to spend a few more
happy days on the old sod before going
back to Australia. We expect to spend all
of June. July and August in Ireland"
The JOURNEY TO ROME.
From ireland the bishops will go to
France and Spain to spend the remaining
month before their official duties call them
to Rome. They will reach Rome the first
Of October. and it will probably be the first
Of November before their duties at the
Vatican will have been completed. After
departing from the Holy City. the three
clergymen will still be companions on a
journey to beautiful Naples. from which
city they will sail for a trip through the
suez Canal to the Holy Land. a visit to
Jerusalem being planned.
II their steamer takes them by the way Of
Ceylon. they will make a short trip into
India before resuming their Journey to
Sydney. which city they expect to reach
on their return about December 10. making
the length Of time consumed in their jour
ney around the world about ten months.
Bishops Gallagher and Higgins were guests

SENT TO ST. ELIZABETH.
W. L. Clark Created Some Little Elk.
citen,ent in the House.

An exciting scene in the House of Rep
resentatives was avoided yesterday after
noon by the prompt arrest Of a young man
who had managed to enter and reach the
Speaker apparently unnoticed. The young
man was w. l.. Clark, who is employed in
the bureau of engraving and printing. He
called to see Speaker Henderson to get his
father released from ST. Elizabeth Hospital
for the Insane. He wanted Justice for his
father he said. His conduct 4caused some
alarm, and, 1t Is said. Speaker Henderson
left the chair for an instant Detective
Weber took charge of Clark. and turned
him over to the police. He was taken to
the sixth precinct station, where he was
examined by the police surgeons. The
doctors pronounced him insane, and he was
sent over to the asylum where his father is
a patient. Clark is twenty-five years old
and has been living at 248 Sd street north
west. His father, George M. Clark, was
formerly employed as a clerk in the Post
Office Department. .st-I-
The Commissioners, through Attorney A.
Leftwich Sinclair, today instituted lunacy
proceedings against Clark. The District Su-
preme Court appointed DR.. c. w. Sonnen-
schmidt and Dr. c. c. Marbury to examine
the man and testify regarding his mental
condition at a hearing to be held next Fri
day afternoon.
Clark loitered about the corridors and
offices of the city hall for an hour or more
yesterday before going to the Capitol and
attracted general attention by his queer ac-
lions.
