The Irish Martyrs.

There are few Christian countries
where martyrs for the Faith have been
more numerous than in Ireland; but
the roll of her canonized Saints is not
proporti0nately large. For this nobody
is to blame, inasmuch as the life or
death struggles in which the country
was engaged occupied the attention Of
the bishops and clergy and of their
focks. But the promotion of the causes
of Irish martyrs has not been for
gotten. His Grace Archbishop Walsh
Of Dublin in letter to the clergy of
his diocese has intimated that the final
stage in the proceedings is about to be
entered upon. The sittings of the do
cesar court will be continued, as far as
possible, from day to day, until the
work is completed. There is, he states,
every reason to anticipate that what
now remains to be done will be got
through speedily, and that before
many weeks the official transcript of
the diocesan courts record will be
ready for transmission to the Holy
See. The archbishop asks that prayers
may be offered that those who are en-
gagged in work of such Importance
may be guided by the Spirit of the Di-
vine Wisdom.
Distinctly and wildly does His
Grace in an interview describe the
steps taken for the canonization of the
Irish martyrs. Thanks in no small de-
gree to the zeal Of His Eminence Car
dinal Moran, archbishop of Sydney,
progress has been steadily made in the
investigation Of their lives and espec-
tally the closing scenes. The Cardinal,
even in the early days of his priest
hood, began to search for contempor-
airy documents in the different cases,
and for over forty years he has been
publishing edition after edition of
works conveying the results Of his en-
quiries. Gradually a list Of names
which twas proposed to bring forward
was formed And in an article which
he contributed to the Irish Bcclesias-
teal Record" at the beginning of last
year the archbishop of Dublin named
between $50 and 800 cases with which

DULUTH NEWS.

After an illness extending over a
period of three weeks, Robert F. Fitz-
gerald, president of the Duluth Shoe
company, and one of Duluth's repre-
sentative and most progressive bust
ness men, died Monday noon, at his
home, 1916 East Superior street. Mr..
Fitzgerald has been suffering from
diabetes and it was complications aris-
ing from that disease which brought
on his death.
He was born in Boston, Mass, Oct.
10, 1S4S. He has been resident of
Duluth for the past fifteen years. and
had been resident of st. Paul for
about the same length of time, prev
ious to coming to the head of the lakes.
For several years Mr. Fitzgerald was
master mechanic of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company, sta
toned at Hudson, Wis. Later he was
with Allen, Moon & Company, of st.
Paul, and for years was one of the
leading travelling men of the North
west. He has always retained his
affection for the commercial travellers
and among his happiest times have
been at their greetings. When the
Duluth Shoe company was organized
Mr.. Fitzgerald became it's president
and has always been its active head.
1t is his policy and able management
which has brought 1t to the high place
it occupies in the jobbing circles of
Duluth and the Northwest.
There was probably, no more widely
known or better liked business man in
the city Of Duluth than Mr.. Fitzgerald.
He was man hustling in business af-
fairs, broadminded in his views, thor.
oughly interested in the welfare of the
city and an active progressive spirit
in all enterprises which might be
started for the benefit Of the city. His
interest in public affairs, outside of his
business associations, have made him
a wide circle of friends that any man
might be proud Of.
Besides a wife Mr.. Fitz-
gerald leaves daughter, Mrs.
Richard NJ. Sellwood, and two
sons, Charles and Grover Fitzgerald,
all of this city. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Curran and Mrs. James Curran of St.
Paul, relatives of Mrs. Fitzgerald,
were here when he died.
Mrs. John Cashin and children,
Fifty-seventh avenue west, returned
Monday from Virginia, Mimi, where
they have been visiting for the past
week.
Fred l.. Ryan, chairman of the Dem
ocratic campaign committee, and men,
her Of the Democratic state central
committee, has announced himself as
a candidate for surveyor general of
logs. He will have strong following
and it is generally admitted is amply
qualified for the position. From n
political standpoint he will have much
to back him for he was the head and
mainstay Of the campaign in the
county this year. 1t is true that the
county went pretty heavily against
Johnson as compared with what it did
for Rosing two years ago, but at that
Mr.. Dunn ran about 5000 behind
Roosevelt, and then, too, the vote was
much heavier than two years ago.
John Cashin is another candidate
who has announced himself. He is a
practical lumberman, and urges that
in his behalf. Six years ago Mr..
Cashin was an active candidate for the

st. Petersburg Reports.

st. Petersburg, April 24.-Some-
thing of sensation was caused here
this afternoon by report spread far
and wide that the Chinese minister
Hoo Wei Teh, was packing up prepar-
atory to departing from St. Petersburg
and visions of immediate war were
conjured up.
The Associated Press investigated
the rumor and ascertained that the
only foundation for it was the fact
that the minister has taken a sum-
mer cottage at Gatschina, thirty miles
from St. Petersburg, for which place
he will shortly leave the capital.
The Russians have placed guns in
positions covering the crossings Of the
Yalu river. While General Kuropatkin
desires that the Japanese shall enter
Manchuria he purposes that they shall
pay as dearly as possible for the priv
ilege, but without precipitating a gen.
eral engagement.
Major General kashtalinsky is anx-
ious to engage the enemy and begged
General kuropatkin for permission to
do So, but the commander in chief
strictly forbade even small skirmishes
where it was possible to avoid them.
1t is understood that General Kuro-
patkin intends to deliver the decisive
battle himself. Meantime the cavalry
and artillery at the front are engaged
in constant drill and reconnoissances
In spite of the reports from Seoul
and T0lxin fhof tho nc or ro y,,o q
ing $4,000 men to resist the Japanese
crossing of the Yalu river, it can be
asserted with great positiveness that
an obstinate obstruction of the en-
emy's crossing is no part of General
Kuropatkin's tactics. The Russians
intend that the japanese shall have
the river behind them before giving
battle in force.

Crime in CHICAGO,

Chicago. April 26-Residents of Chi
cGgo who drew long breath of relief
when the three car barn bandits were
hanged, were given evidence within
twenty-four hours that gangs of des-
perate murderers and robbers still in
fest every section of the city. Within
ten hours after the executions two muir
ders had been committed and within
fifteen hours after the hanging this
number had been doubled. along with
the probable fatal shooting of robber.
Meanwhile homes were being robbed
right and left and hold-ups were re-
ported from every direction.
The appalling outburst of crime cul-
minated this morning with the attempt
of three desDeradoes to hold UP an
electric car on the Joliet and Chicago
line at Brighton Park. The passen-
gers were lined uo and one man had
been robbed of his watch and money,
when two policemen jumped on the
car The robbers fled, but one of them
was later cornered in dance hall and
captured.

Excitement in Hungary.

Vienna, April 26.-The Hungarian
situation is regarded here as alarming.
The Socialists threaten to proclaim a
general strike throughout the country
and in such an event it is stated in po-
litical circles. Count Tisza, the Hun
garian premier will put the whole king
dom under martial law.
Popular excitement appears to be
reaching a dangerous point and the
critical condition of affairs is further
intensified by the near approach of La
Dor Day. Following the tragic event
at the market town of Elesd, near
Grosswardein. yesterday, in which a
Socialist killed the commander of the
gendarmerie, followed by the killing of
twenty three rioters and the wounding
OF forty by the gendarmes, a general
strike has broken out at Grosswardein.
To-day the shops. cafes and restau-
rants there and even the schools are
closed. and the business life of the
town is entirely suspended.

PRESIDENT LousET IN ROME.
Received With P.mp by King Victor
Emanuel.

Rome, April 26.-Presidelt Loubet,
accompanied by Foreign Minister Del
Case and a distinguished party of
French officials, arrived in Rome to-
day to repay the visit of King Victor
Emanuel to Paris in October last.
They were met at the station by the
King. who went in state. accompanied
by the Duke of Genoa. the Count of
Turin and other court dignitaries.
At the station also were the members
OF the Italian cabinet, representatives
of the Senate and chamber of Deputies
and all OF the high officers of the
state.
The drive to the Quirinal had all
the appearance of triumphant march
eliminating in an ovation at the pal
ace, where President Loubet. King
Victor Emanuel, Queen Helena and
the princes were obliged to appear on
the balcony three times.
Ambassador Meyer, Charlemagne
Tower, United States Ambassador to
Germany, and Andrew ID. White, wit
messed the procession from the garden
OF the American church. in which tri-
bune had been erected. On this
tribune were also many members of
the diplomatic corps and several
Americans, including Bishop Leonard
OF Ohio and G. B. Thomas of Philadel-
iphia. Along the route were massed
more than 100000 persons, including
many from the provinces and abroad.
Immediately after she had received
President Loubet Queen Helena sent
cordial telegram to Madame Loubet,
saying that "the rejoicing of to-day
only lacked the presence of her of
whose amiability l had many proofs
while in Paris and the memory of
which is unalterable'

Loubet. the King and Queen and the
princes saw the torchlight procession
from the balcony of Quirinal, on which
they remain for twenty minutes being
constantly acclaimed.
From an official source it is learned
that italy desires to prove that, while
loyal to the Triple Alliance. she is
quite free to entertain friendly re,
lations with other powers, having for
her object the maintenance of peace.
This object was brought about by the
complete glo-France-Italian accord
with regard to affairs in the Balkans
which has been working with perfect
harmony since last November. Any
other Interpretation which may be CIV
en- to the Presidents presence in Italy
is unfounded.
President Loubet dined with the
King and Queen at the Quirinal.

audience with the Emperor, Vice Ad-
miral Skrydloff, commander of the ma
val forces in the far Sast, requested
that a squadron commander be as
signed to Port Arthur as he may find
it necessary to temporarily join the
Vladivostok division of the Pacific
squadron. The Emperor consented
but an officer has not yet been chosen.
AS a mark of confidence and in or
der that his rank may be in keeping
with the size of his feet, the Emperor
has determined to promote Rear Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, recently appointed
to the command Of the Baltic fleet, to

Russia Gets German Boats.

New York, April 2.4-Some sensa.
ton has been caused in Berlin, says a
Herald dispatch from that city, by a
rumor to the effect that Germany has
ceded to Russia certain torpedo boats
building in private yards which are on
the point of completion.
Eight of these, which are being built
by the Schichau yards, are the largest
torpedo boats as yet constructed in
Germany, being of $50 tons with an ay-
erage of twenty-eight knots.
In order to prevent breach Of neu-
trality 1t would be necessary that the
German government annul it's contract
with the yard, leaving the builders
free to do as they please with the tor.
pedo boats.

Paris, April 24.-According to the St.

sian forces are crossing the Tumen riv-
er to attack the Japanese flank. Cen
eral Kuropatkin is desirous of delaying
operations, thus giving Russian rein
forcements time to arrive.
The correspondent adds that he
learns from reliable source that the
Baltic sea fleet will not leave Libau
before August 18th or perhaps Septem-
Der 1st, thus being due to arrive in the

London, April 25.-The far eastern
dispatches this morning are chiefly
on reports and speculstions concerning
japanese landings and the plan of
campaign. The Daily Telegraphs To-
kio correspondent says the present de-
lay is more apparent than real, both
as regards field and naval operations.
The japanese. according to the cores
pondent. are acting prudently and will
not be hurried. They realize that GER
tain movements must precede the next
coup by land and sea. and they are
awaiting both favorable weather and
occasion. and from Port Arthur to
Vladivostok are on the alert.

itary attaches will be permitted to take
the field, the correspondent remarks
that the aJpanese, in matters of equip
ment, etc, are treating the foreign at

(After the his
am becam Of the
Russian View of the War.

st. Petersburg, April 24.-Apparent-
ly reliable information in the posses
sion of the general staff leads to the
belief that the objective of the Japa-
nese campaign does not involve the am
bilious invasion of the interior of Man
churia with the purpose of reaching and
overwhelming the main Russian army.
II the Japanese ever entertained the
hope of accomplishing task similar
to that which Napoleon set himself,
present advices indicate that they have
abandoned it, and have adopted much
more cautious and less hazardous pro-
gram.
If this information is correct there
will be no advance upon the army con-
centrated at Lao Yank and Mukden,
with its attendant constant lengthening
and weakening of the japanese line OF
communications. Instead, there seems
to be a determination to stick as close
as is possible to the sea, where lies ia
pans natural base of communication,
she having established herself in
Korea.
The general staff reports say that
the japanese will have three other OBJ
jectives-the occupation of line across
the Lao Tung peninsula for the pur-
pose of cutting off Port Arthur, the
isolation of Vladivogtok and the estab-
lishment of a junction between the
army of Korea and the force at the
head of the Lao Tung peninsula.
The last mentioned movement might
be accomplished by landing near the
mouth of Ia Yang river, which, by
threatening the flank OF the Russian
position at Feng Huan Cheng. might
render it untenabe and make the ad-
vance of column from Korea compar-
atiyely easy.
If these plans should succeed the life
of both Russian squadrons in the Pa
cific would be menaced. and with the
sea and fleet back of her at every
point Japan could fortify the positions
thus gained and with the tables turned,
compel General Kuropatkin to come
forward and attack.
General Kuropatkin, however, is in
possession of the latest advices received
BY the general staff and 1t is safe to as
sumo that if the japanese campaign
develops along the lines indicated he
will be ready to make such disposition
of his forces as will meet and check
mate it.
