Story Of a Cardinals carr,a~e

Somewhere in New York city there
is slowed away a cardinals carr;,oe

with crimson satin and having elevat-
ed seats for footmen before and be-

Express. 1t cost $4,000, weighs about
ton and was built for the first Amer
lcan cardinal, John McCloskey, arch
bishop OF New York, and nobody was
! more astonished than that modest &C.

his home on Madison avenue.
The carriage was a present to the
cardinal from a little coterie of Catho-

and General di Cesnola, director OF the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Not only did they defray the cost of
building state carriage on the most
approved models in Paris and bring
ing it across the Atlantic, but they
also purchased handsome pair of
horses and subscribed all ample fund
Tor the maintenance OF all this por-
gcousness. Had they not done so it
would have been a white elephant sort
OF gift to Cardinal McCloskey. A
man OF simple and democratic tastes,
he gave away the larger part of his in
come in charity and was very apt to
neglect his own personal needs.
The worthy prelate was more aston
lshcd than delighted with the gift. He
would have much preferred to ride in
cab or even 4 horse car. But if one
cannot look a gift horse in the mouth,
how much less can one be ungracious
when given carriage and pair, with

and even rode in the wonderful car

ALL JAPAN is UNITED.
Residents of Island Kingdom HOPE
for Peace But Prepare
for War.

Toxic, Jan. 1S.-Japan does not an
ticipate Russias rejoinder for at least
one week. In the meantime the nation
is prepared and grimly reconciled to
war. Political and other distinctions
have disappeared and the country is
patriotically united. The government
is receiving many offers Of contribu-
tions, in the event of war, amounting
to many millions of yen. The japanese
people would welcome an honorable
peace, but are resolved to f fant before re-
ceding from their position in Oriental
affairs. They fear the aggression Of
Russia and believe if it is not stopped
now it will never be stopped. They are
confident that their demands are fair
and moderate and their diplomacy.
which has been patient, has gone to a
reasonable limit. They expect the
worlds sympathy in the struggle and
have splendid confidence in their army
and navy. In the event of reverses or
a national disaster it is thought that
England and the United States would
intervene to preserve a balance of power
in eastern Asia. There is no fear of
an invasion of Japan, country which
is probably the most strongly defended
one in the world.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 10. The cars
assurance, given at the winter palace
January IA, on the occasion of the New

the world for the preservation of peace,
while the guarantee that Russia will rec
ognize the open ports and other conces-
sions in Manchuria will, 1t is thought,
place the onus of a rupture on Japan.

however, that it was strange for R2s-
SLAMS to first hear of the czar's words by
way of America.
