pronounced Onauthentic.
In an afternoon paper there was
printed yesterday a story to the effect
that, after a conference between Arch
bishop Ireland and Secretary Root the
Philippines friars question had been
settled. The alleged telegram contin-
ued:
can understanding has been reached
that the places of the friars shall be
filled by native and American priests,
and that no more Europeans shall be
sent to the islands.
1T is expected that these trouble
some questions as to the relationship
of the church to the government will
be settled before the president leaves
for the West.
IF the negotiations are successfully
concluded, Archbishop Ireland will be
made cardinal at the meeting of the
consistory at Rome, first week in May"
Father Cahill, the archbishop's secre-
tary said last night:
There is no truth in this report as
far as 1 know and no such telegram
has been received here"

 The hostess was assisted in receiv- ing and entertaining by Mesdames Wm Mosby, T. E. Allen and T. E. Morrison.
 A game of questions relative to the life of Washington was introduced, the prize, picture of the immortal George with scenes of great events in his life, was won by Mrs. T. D. Kin man, Jr., while to Mrs. Ike Goldman was awarded the distinction of telling the best original, impromtu story of Washington.
 The refreshments followed out the color scheme of red, white and blue and consisted of cream and cake in the prevailing colors, coffee, nuts and bon bons.
 Those in costume present were Mes danes I. Goldman, R. M. Laird, l.. J. Lucas, l.. Hirsch, J. w. Wallace, W. A. Billingsley, c. E. Crook, 0. Simpson, 1 Wm. Mosby, T. B. Allen, T. B. Morri- son, J. H. McHugh, Misses Mary Laird and Lula Empie.

BALL FROM. PISTOL
 GRAZED HIS HEAD.

A. J. Hunter, living 1-2 miles from Remmel on the old Tom Honey place, was in town Monday, having warrant sworn out for the arrest of Pat Mcbride, whom he stated to an INDEPENDENT reporter, shot at him Sunday, with intent to kill and ac- cording to Hunters story, it was only a remarkable chance which saved his life.
 Hunter had warned Pat Mcbride to keep off his place, as the latter had had trouble with the former's daugh- ter-in law Sunday about noon, when Hunter left the house, Mcbride entered and when the latter returned, Mcbride assaulted him with a knife and pistol. Seeing that Mcbride was aiming to fire, Hunter tucked his head and the ball grazed the left temple, making a flesh wound. Hunter then landed on Mcbride with his left hand, breaking one finger.
 Mcbride was knocked down and escaped. He has not been seen since the assault and papers have been issued for his arrest.
