give a demonstration Of his afectlonate
sentiments by repeating several serious
charges against the Catholic Church IN
South America-charges which Mr.. speer.
more than any one else. should know 70
be untrue
In the February 8 edition Of the Lit
erary Digest there appeared several
damaging statements from Mr.. Speer
against the morality Of the Catholic
clergy In South America, the statements
being largely supported by references to
an alleged incyclical Of Pope Leo, ad-
dressed 10 the clergy Of Chile The
charges We're so serious and received

I'VE have received from Mr.. Robert p.
Speer a letter giving his authority for his
statements about the clergy OF South
America In his reply he says that the
alleged encyclical of Pope Leo 70 the
clergy OF Chile was issued IN 1897. and
extracts from II have been printed in
reliable books 80
Il have employed a man 10 look
through the files Of the 'Civilta CatoIlca'
for the year the alleged encyclical was
supposed to have appeared, and for the
years before and after that date, with

doubt"

scurrilous matter was obtained"
Mr.. Speer has not done the manly
thing and fair thing, but has remained
silent. The leading Catholic newspapers
and magazines have publicly branded

READY FOR REGATTA

New York, May 22.-The general opinion
Of the oarsmen to-day gathered at Scull-
er's Row. was that IL was a good thing,
after all. that the Middle States regatta
has been given TO Philadelphia this year.
The course in the Schuylkiu River is ex-
I cepuonaly fair 10 everybody. and New
York rowing men have little or no
trouble in getting there. At Baltimore,

cially with regard 10 the course. Those
who have rowed on It say that the mile
and a half with a turn is fair enough.
but that the mile and a half straight
away IS the worst sort Of an arrange
ment possible for good racing A mem

day:

course where such conditions are neces-
sary there always Is bound to be dis

During the week there was a rumor
that Baltimore would secede from the
national association, and with a few
clubs around the South Atlantic division
would endeavor to form a new rowing
body.
II is understood that Philadelphia will
be IN this years Harlem regatta. In
the times gone by It was quite different

general rule. too. they carried away their
snare OF the medals and cups. but those
days are gone. Whether they will come
again Is hard TO say. in return for this
support in the past, the Harlem men
always went TO Philadelphia regattas.
and the difference Is that the Harlem
men never slackened in their attention
10 this hour, while the Quaker support
has dwindled beautifully.
William Mehthon. the crack scuuer Of
the Nassau Boat Club, has started to
train for the national regatta. which is
to be held at Washington, D. c.. early
in August. He intends to have a crack
at the championship singles, and is Of the
opinion that he should make a frst-class
showing, as he viii give himself plenty

ton "Creeds and King" appears a let

tain Episcopal ministers said to have

the soul Of the late King Edward and
in which Mr.. Hite goes so far as TO sug-
gest that for so helnous a crime against

That many members Of the Episcopal
Church offer prayers for the repose of
the SOUL not only Of King Edward, but
Of others in whose welfare they are in

ask Mr. Hlte whether he realizes that
this IS done with the pure desire that
such prayers may aid and strengthen the
soul In the outward fight; that such
prayers are simply manifestations OF that
spirit Of brotherly love and sympathy
which is the keynote of the teachings Of
the Christ. and that the necessity for
that mutual love and willing service Is
to-day beginning to be recognized by
thinking minds as the basic foundation
upon which alone humanity can endure?

charge Of lSS pounds Of guncotton. were
discharged by electricity yesterday after
noon in the bay between Fort Rosecrans

The mines were exploded automati-

struck a submerged buoy so contrived

the charge was only about a sixth of
