Action of the Pacific Mail Company Which Approaches Impudence. DID NOT WANT BUSINESS From the Navy Departmeut—The Ship- ment of One Huaodred Sailors to the Pacific Balked—Secretary Tracy Greatly Annoyed and Will Communicate With Congress. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—The navy de- partment and the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Co. are just now at “outs.” Re- cently the navy department had occa- sion to negotiate with the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. for the transportation of 100 seamen to San Francisco via the Isthmus of Panama. The seamen to be sent out to the Pacific are to consti- tute a part of the crew of the new United States coast defense battleship Monterey. The Monterey is now at San Francisco. She is to go into com- mission during January, and the navy department, realizing that but little time can be lost, inquired some time ago of the Pacific Mail people as to when the naval draft could be taken aboard their ships. To the surprise of Secretary Tracy and of nearly every officer in the navy department, a letter was received from the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. of a most sarcastic nature, informing the secre- tary of the navy that the Pacific Mail company could not take the men for several weeks, and, furthermore, was not anxious for navy department pa- tronage. Secretary Tracy has accordingly de- cided to immediately ask congress for authority to transport hereafter all naval drafts for the Pacific across the continent by rail. Such authority for the transportation of troops was long ago vested in the secretary of war, but the navy department has never been able to send its own men to the Pacific other than by water. A recent draft of 250 men was sent from the Brooklyn navy yard toSan Francisco tothe cruiser San Francisco, but the accounting of- ficer of the treasury decided that until some legislation was had on the sub- ject the navy department could not re- peat its transportation of men across the continent. The letter received at the navy de- partment from the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Co. will be submitted to congress toshow the difficulty experienced in getting transportation of men by water, and also to show how little the Pacific Mail people appreciate the services ren- dered by the officers and men of the United States navy, in promptly com- ing to the assistance of any company’s ships when in trouble in Central and South American ports. ————= === CATHOLIC PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS. Dr. McGlynn Hints That the Pope Will Have Them Suppressed. New Yors, Dec. 20.—Dr. McGlynn lectured Sunday night on ‘‘Archbishop Satolli and the Public Schools” before the largest audience that the Anti-Pov- erty society has entertained at Cooper Union for many a day. Those who ex- pected Dr. McGlynn to say anything of significance relative to his restoration as a priest of the Catholic church were much disappointed. He dealt as usual in generalities, only indulging in a few criticisms of Archbishop Corrigan. He referred occasionally to the “marble palace” over which Mr. Corrigan pre- sides, and spoke of him as being ‘‘mis- guided,” but, on the whole, he was so remarkably mild in his strictures that his talk gave some support to the talk that he was going to makeasubmission and re-enter the Catholic church through the back door. Dr. McGlynn rdiculed the idea of parochial schools and quoted his own particular case ina fable, in which the priest was compelled without money by his bishop to erect a parochial school although his parish was deeply in debt. He told of the church fair with its raffle of a decrepit horse and its viola- tion of the lottery laws. He spoke of the superiority of the public schools and asserted that the pope and Arch- _ bishop Satolli were in favor of abolish- ing parochial schools altogether. He said that misguided Catholics, through misguided prelates, had cast a blot on the reputation of all the good Pres- byterian, Baptist, Jewish and agnostic women who taught in the public schools by insinuating that children who went there as pupils would not re- ceive moral instruction. Dr. McGlynn made it plain that he agreed with the and Mgr. Satolli that the parochial schools should be closed, but he did not believe in any innovations in the public schools. Catholic school children, he intimated, could be looked after spirit- ually in Catholic churches. Distress in Westera Kansas. Horroy, Kan., Dec. 20.—The extreme winter weather that has prevailed in western Kansas this month has caused much suffering among the settlers. There has been much snow and the weather has been very cold. Cattle have been deprived of the grazing and storms have been so extensive that it is almost impossible to keep the settlers supplied with sufficient fuel to keep them warm. It is nmanifest that if the weather continues throughout the win- teras it has been for the past three weeks, there will be much suffering among the poor settlers in the western and northwestern counties, and a great dealof stock will perish for want of food. Herr Most in For It Again. New York, Dec. 20.—Emma Goldman, the friend of Bergmann, the anarchist who shot H. C. Frick, cowhided Johann Most last night as he was about to be- his lecture to an anarchist goup in Odd Fellows’ hall. Most, it is said, at- tacked Miss Goldman in his paper. Adjourned Out of Respect.

Dec. 19—Sterling exchange brokers commenced early this morning to make preparations for gold shipments and up to noon engagements had been made by five different firms for the exportation of #1,102,0J0 in gold to E urope. A firmer tone characterized the opening of the stock market and a few stocks showed fractional gains, but ten minutes after the opening heavy selling of the “‘industrials’’ com- menced and prices declined rapidly under the leadership of Distilling and Cattle Feeding company’s shares, which dropped nearly = per cent., selling, except dividend of I's per cent, at@ Cordage dropped 1%, Chicago Gas 1% and National Lead i. The railroad stocks were comparatively steady, but a few of them, Rock Island being most conspicuous, dropped 4 to ts per cent. The market after 11 o'clock developed in- creased firmness for the railways. which made further fractional advances, but later lost the improvement owing to a fresh onslaught on the Industrials. Distillers and cattle feeders and Chicago Gas broke rapidly before noon under heavy selling and when, shortly after 12 o'clock, money got up to 3) and then to # percent prices dropped off rapidly, Distillers reaching 57 and Chicago Gas 83, declines of 7 and 6 per cent respectively.

ALEXANDRIA, Minn.,- Dec. —A wreck occurred on the Great Northern _ at Nelson, about six miles east of here ‘att o'clock this morning. The wreck- ers stationed at this place were clearing up a small wreck that occurred the night before, and after finishing the work about 9 o'clock, the men went in- to the caboose and soon fell asleep, ex- pecting the wrecker to pull cut for St. Cloud at any time. About 1 o'clock an eastbound freight came down the long grade west of Nel- | son and ran into the rear end of the wrecker at almost full speed. All the men in the caboose were killed except two who jumped through the window ‘before the train caught fire, Three men were taken from the burning | eaboose, but were dead, and the rest of | the bodies were burned. Four of the | men were found, but all but one was so | badly burned that nothing but the | bones remained. Six other men, who were in a box ear, were badly injured | and one fireman was also badly hurt, | having an arm broken It is pretty hard to lay the blame on & any one person in this case, as the con- 7, duetor had orders to run in on the side f, track at Nelson and the engineer claims he tried to slack up so they could open = the switch, but there was not a brake- ; man on a car and being loaded and coming down a grade it was impossible for him todo so. The brakeman had no orders from the conductor that they a were to stop at Nelson and therefore wa | did not apply the brakes. ‘The coroner — | and a jury will hold an inquest to-day. wow | Bishop Wigger aud Father Corrigan Make | Up Rather Unexpectedly. a w CONTROVERSY OVER. WO Honoken J., Dec. 20.—The con- i troversy between Bishop Wigger, of y@ | Newark, and Father Corrigan, of Ho- CB. | boken, was rather abruptly terminated. e Kishop Wigger surrenders uncondition- jaily. The trial is stopped and the charge withdrawn. Bishop Wigger ap- pointed a committee of priests to visit Father Corrigan and endeavor to induce | him to apologize. To this proposal Father Corrigan makes the following reply R ——————— nt Reverend Dear Bishop: Having re- | ceived kindly suggestions from mutual friends who have consulted you and extended to me ad- vice that I highly appreciate, I am glad to yield whatever may justly be expected from me, to put anend to this controversy. Nothing will give me more annoyance than to have been guilty of violating the respect due to you and | also to the Most Reverend Metropolitan Arch- | bishop Corrigan, and where I have unintention- | ally gone beyond the proper bounds, I hereby | express my regret for it, and pray both of you to overlook it. I believe that you have tried to be just in the | administration of your diocese and I am sutis- tied that whatever mistakes you have made did | not proceed from malice. As regards the fu- | ture, you need have no apprehension that I jlave any intention of attacking yourself or your government in the papers.) Your servant in Christ, PATRICK CORRIGAN. Bishop Wigger acknowledged the re- ceipt of Father Corrigan’s letter in the following communication: SourH ORANGE, N.

Many who favor the idea of the canal are still against the scheme of having the gov- ernment guarantee the bonds of a pri- vate corporation, however public its purpose. “It looks to me,” said Representative Ryan, “like one of those schemes where the government is asked to stand the risk of loss, while the profit, if any ac- crues, will go to Warner Miller and his associates. The government might as well borrow $100,000,000 itself and build this canal as to indorse or guarantee these bonds.” I am against the proposi- tion.” Bryan is one sort of the opposition. There is another, of which such rail- road senators as Stanford, Wolcott and Washburn are specimens, who oppose it because they do not want a canal at all for fear of lowering transcontinental traffic rates the moment boats could be canaled through the isthmus. The preposition will have a hard time be- tween these two allied forces. THERE WAS NO “FUN.” Persons Who Went to Talmage‘s Taber- ‘nacle to Witness a Deputy Sheriff Selze the Collection Get Disappointed. New York, Dee. 20.—An unusually large number of persons flocked into Dr. Talmage’s tabernacle in Brooklyn when the doors were thrown open at 100'clock Sunday morning. A great many of them were attracted there by curiosity. The sheriff toook charge of the taber- nacle on Friday night, having seized it to execute a judgment obtained against the trustees by A. R. Tong, a Brooklyn decorator. Mr. Tong decorated the new tabernacie and was paid in notes, which he was unable tocollect. Then he brought suit The sheriff put a watchman in charge of the tabernacle on Friday night and reinforced him last night with a deputy. It was intimated that when the collection was taken up | the proceeds would be seized by the sheriff, and therefore alarge number of persons not members of the congrega- tion went to the tabernacle to see the “fun.” They were disappointed, for early inthe morning the trustees had an understanding with Mr. Tong, and the deputy sheriff and his assistant were removed.
