CARDINAL GIBBONS ABROAD — A Significant Interview With Him Pub- lished in Paria, PELE SO POE LO SOOO SOS 9900000 OCOOO00 004 7 He Describes the Intérest of the Pope im the American Charch—His Rela- tions With Mgr. Satolli. ‘The correspondent at Rome of the Balti- more Sun sends an interesting letter under date of August 8, which was published yes- terday. The portion relating to Cardinal Gibbons will be of interest to a large num- ber of readers in Washington. His visit to France, says the writer, in speaking of the cardinal, has given the French press an occasion of considering his greét posi- tion in the ecclesiastical world, and of ap- preciating his importance in the United States. The Osservatore Romano of Rome, which has displayed an interest in the cardinal quite justifying its name, again returns to him, and, in order to deny once more the attacks of the so-called “liberal” press on him, quotes a lengthy interview which the cardinal had with a writer in the Paris Gaulois. One of the editorial staff of that newspaper, profiting by the presence of Cardinal Gibbons in Paris, sought an interview with him, and, among other things, questioned him re- garding the impressions he recetved in Rome and upon his presumed contrariety to the apostolic delegate. The cardinal replied with remarkable de- cision of language and preciseness. He could, he sald, only characterize in one werd his impressions of Rome, which, in- deed, have always been the same, and that word was delightfulness. “I have conversed at length with the pope,”’said the cardinal, “who received me with his ordinary kindness. I found him full of health and life. He is more active, and one might say younger, than ever, if youth were a synonym of activity, vigor and en- durance. I cannot, for it would be a cul- peble impropriety on my part, even in the” smallest degree, speak of the various conversations I have had with the holy father. All that the journals have re- ccunted Is incorrect. The Pope’s Interest in America. “But it is permitted to me to tell you that I have treated with the pope on the questions which more particularly interest America, and that Leo XIII follows up the religious movement in the United States with an almost prophetic comprehension and with a notable benevolence. “The hopes which the pope founds upon the American church will, I am firmly con- vinced, be realized for the greater benefit of Catholicity even in other countries. They are already realized in part. Not only do the number of conversions among us increase every year, but good works are multiplied and Christian education in every grade spreads with'a rapidity which gives cause for great hope in ghe future. “In this order of ideag I have had the Joy of announcing to the holy father the proximate creation of @ faculty of phil- osophy in the Catholle University of Wash- ington, a project of which the Gaulois, I am very happy to say, recently indicated the great outlines with much preciston.” Friendly to Archbishop Satolli. “They have said, your eminence,” said the interviewer, “that tHe chief object of your journey to Rome was to so prevail upon the pope as-to obtain from him the recall of Monsignor Satolll, apostolic dele-, gate to the United States.” “What absurdity! My relations with Monsignor Satolli have always been of the most friendly nature. I believe, nay, I am sure, that he does very much good in the position in which the confidence of Leo XIII has placed him, and that his presence tkere is not only useful, but necessary. I have, besides, strongly protested in a let- ter, which the Osservatoro Romano pub- lished some days ago, against the insinua- tion, which Is absolutely contrary to truth, that ycu have just mentioned.” This is the most recent declaration of the cardinal regarding a statement which, although repeatedly denied, has been re- peatedly and persistently reiterated. A note in the Figaro of Paris, the most important of all the journals in the French capital, relates that “his eminence, Car- dinal Gibbons, who returned from Reims Monday evening and passed Tuesday at the house of the Suipieian Fathers at Issy, left Paris Wednesday morning on nis way to London. Thence the archbishop will proceed to Ireland, where he will remain a few days before returning to his diocese of Baltimore.” THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Weddings That Are of Interest to Wash- ington People. + Where Vacations Are Being Passed— Notes About Well-Known Persons. ALBANY, N. Y., August 21.—At noon today, in the Cathedral of All Saints, oc- curred the wedding of Miss Mary Eliza- beth Manning, youngest daughter of the late Secretary of the Treasury, Daniel Man- ning, and Jules Cornelius Von Der Ouder- meulen, son of the private secretary of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. The wed- ding was quiet because of the absence of any of Mr. Von Der Oudermeulen’s fam- ily, the principal guests besides Miss Man- ning’s immediate relatives being Mrs. Wal- lace Andrews of New York; the bride’s uncle, Mr. John B.

A petition In equity for maintenance was this afternoon filed by Martha E. Diggs against Charles W. Diggs. According to the Dill, they were married in 1886 and have four children. In August, 1893, Mrs. Diggs claims, her husband deserted her, and to repeated entreaties that he return home and provide for his family he replied that he does not want his wife and will not live with her again. The petitioner further sets forth that she is a delicate woman, twenty- four years of age, with no income except what she can earn by her daily labor. Dur- ing the severe weather last winter, she re- cites, after having vainly appealed to her husband for assistance, she was compelled to beg fuel at a station house to keep her little children from freezing. Mrs. Diggs goes on to say that her hus- band is employed at the National Museum and has been for seven years past. He has repeatedly urged hor to apply for a divorce, she maintains, and said that there is no law to compel him to the support of his family unless his wife applied for divorce. Alimony, counsel fees and the custody of the children are prayed for. —__-——_ The Result in South Carolina. Very full returns from the thirty-five counties of South Carolina show that the democratic nominees in every county have been elected, with a few possible excep- tions. Two independent democratic candi- dates may be elected in Union and two negro republicans in Darlington and two in Beaufort. Whe reform democrats will shave a large majority in the constitutional convention, which ensures the making of a constitution which will largely eliminate the negro vote. There was no trouble at any precinct in the state. NEW POLICE REGULATIONS. Important Changes as to Overhead Wires and Cutting the Trees. An entirely new set of police regulations will shortly be issued by the Comunis- stoners. For a long time they have been hard at work revising the old regulations. They were found contradictory in many in- stances, and falled to cover very material points in numerous instances. So it was decided to reissue the regulations, and in- corporate in the new set everything of im- portance to the citizenr and the welfare of the city. Letters have been sent to the heads of each department inviting the chief to submit to the Commissioners ary rew regulation which he thinks necessary. Wher all of these answers are received, the Commissioners will hold a board meeting and consider them. One of the most important changes that will be made in the new regulatioas is that concerning the stringing of overaead wires. While this is prohibited by law, the Com- missioners nevertheless have been power- less to stop it, owing to the failure of Con- gress to incorporate a penalty clause in the act. The new regulations will be specific on this point, and not only make it unlaw- ful to string overhead wires, but impose a large fine upon all who violate the regula- tion. Another important regulation will con- cern the trees of the city, and no one will be permitted to cut them or otherwise in- terfere with them without having first ob- tained a permit. ———— THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS. An Enthusiastic Meeting at the Ce: tral Presbyterian Church, Still another and by no means a faint echo of the great Christian Endeavor con- vention in Boston was heard last night at the Central Presbyterian Church. The society connected with this church has al- ready heard informally from five of its delegates who have returned from the con- vention, and became so much interested in the short reports it received that it de-~ termined to hold an echo meeting on a more extended scale. A committee, of which Miss Mollie S. Lord was chairman, had decorated the chapel, and to the flags and Boston colors were added palms, gold- en-rod and cut flowers. Some of the Wash- ington '96 fans and Boston '¥5 badges were distributed. Quite a number of visitors from other societies were present at the exercises, so that there was scarcely a vacant seat when Mr. Norman T. Elliott gave his impressions of the convention. He was followed by Mr. Samuel J. Venable, Mr. Edward F. Russell, Miss Mollie 8S. Lord and Mrs. N. T. Elliott, who x pins interestingly on dif- ferent features of the great Boston gather- ing. The wonderful influence of the con- vention was mentioned, and some of the known instances of direct good resultant from it were spoken of. On the other hand, several of the amusing incidents al- ways accompanying such a large gathering of people were not forgotten by the re- porting delegates. Mr. W. H. H. Smith, chairman of the committee of '96, was present and spoke by invitation upon the “Responsibilities and Privileges of '96." He mentioned the es- pecial need of securing a large attendance next year of young people from the south, and said the efforts of his committee would be largely directed toward the accomplish- ment of such a desired result. A feature of the exercises last night was the singing of convention songs and the District rallying song, ‘Washington, 96." Mr. G. Sargent Elliott led the singing, the accompanists being Miss Minnie E. Mc- Cormick at the organ and Dr. F. A. Swart- wout with the cornet. Miss Letitia HE. El- Hott sang for a sole during the evening “Flee as a Bird.” Upon the conclusion of the program refreshments were served. —_=.___ DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY. A National Convention in Session in This City.

River Springs Crowded With Guests, Who Enjoy Themselves, Special Correspondence of ‘The Evening Star. RIVER SPRINGS, MD., August 20, 1895 This has been a very successful season at this popular resort, every available space having any semblance to sleeping quarters having been occupied for many weeks back, so great has been the crowd. There is bathing both morning and after- nocn, and the several fine sailboats here are utilized by large parties, which fre- quently make trips to Stratford Hall, Va., the former home of Lighthorse Harry Lee of revolutionary fame, Nomini Cliffs and Rock Point. Fishing has not been as successful or plentiful as in previous sea- sons, but is looked forward to with great expectancy by several followers of Isaak Walton. There is dancing every evening in the cool, open pavilion, which is largely a’ tended by the devotees of terpsichore here and generally patronized by the best famt- lies from the surrounding country. An im- promptu masquerade was given here a fow nights ago, and the prize was taken by Miss Starkey, in the character of Topsy, although the character of Trilby, imper- senated by Miss Alice Walker, was excel- lently carried. The following persons are registered here from Washington: Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Walker, Misses Lilly Walker, Blanche Walker, Messrs. Reginald and Allen Wal- ker, Mr. and Mrs. B. Carle Fenwick and family, Mrs. F. M. Criswell and family, Mr. Stacy, Mr. Stalee, R. Snowden Contee, Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Tucker and family, Mrs. D. D. Mankin, Mrs. Rose Mankin, Misses Bessie Shanks, Pattie and Fannie Blackston, Lulle Ford, Maggie Kelly, Cyn- thia Bean, W. F, Staley, Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Will Not Allow Foreign Control in Armenia. The porte’s last reply to the envoy powers on the subject of reforms in Armenia men- tions only the reforms of secondary !m- portance and rejects the demands of the powers for the exercise of foreign control over the execution of the proposed re- forms, claiming that It would be fatal to the sovereignty of the sultan and the in- dependent Turkish empire. It is expected that the American line steamship Paris, which sailed from South- ampton Saturday for New York, will make a fast passage, as it is understood that her engineers have been instructed to push her to her utmost capacity. WHY BRICE IS CONFIDENT An Explanation of His Fai: in His Re election. Anti-Foraker Republicans May Vote for Democrats for the State Legislature. It is generally regarded as somewhat strange that Senator Brice should couht with such confidence upon his being re- elected to the Senate, even though he con- trols the democracy of Ohio, A great deal of interest is taken among politicians in Washington in the Ohio democratic con- vention, especially since it has unexpected- ly developed that Brice is in control. The assumption frcm all surface indications is, however, that Ohio will be carried by the republicans and that a republican Senator will be elected. The explanation of Mr. Brice’s confidence, however, comes from republican sources. It is sald that on account of the division of the republicans in the Foraker and Mc- Kinley factiors, a large number of Tepub- leans will vote for the democratic legis- lative ticket, and that though the demo- crats will probably be beaten at every other point, it is expected that they will carry the legislature. While Foraker’s friends are speaking in complimentary terms of McKinley and there is a general declars tion of harmony on ail sides, the fact is sald to be that Foraker has acquired con- trol of all the republican political machin- ery of the state of any importance and that he does not intend McKinley to have the Ohio delegation at the national conven- tion. McKinley's friends, it is declared, thoroughly understand this and do not pro- pese to add anything to Foraker’s power if they can help it. It is said that there is @ very large contingent of anti-Foraker men who do not propose to permit For- aker to go to the Senate. Under existing conditions the election of a republican legislature would mea) - ate for Foraker. Se re To Vote for Democrats. Therefore, it is declared, a very large number of republicaus who heretofore have never gone farther in their antagonism to Foraker than merely to refrain fro:n vot- ing, will now make a deeper plunge and vote fer democratic members of the legislature, ‘The word is said to have been given out privately in certain republican circles that foraker is not to pe permittul to go to the Senate. For, f he should, he would then have absolutely everything, and McKinley would be left ont in the cold. Between the republicans who will refrain from voting the legislative ticket and those who will vote for democrats, it is said that the re- turn of a democraiic Senator is probuble. This, seemingly, renders the control of the democratic machine for which Mr. Brice has been fighting a matter of much more consequence than the condition on the surface would indicate. The statement in Ohio dispatches that the silver men and anti-Brice men have been disastrously defeated is received with great deal of satisfaction by members ot the Cleveland administration, and their gratification is largely in the nature of a surprise. Every possible effort has been made in Ohio to divorce the democracy from the allegiance to silver, which was de- clared at their former convention. But re- perts received earller in the contest indly cated that this would be a much more difl- cult task than it appears to have been. - JAPANESE IN FORMOSA. They Are Occupying Only the Coast at Present. A special dispatch to the Novoe Vremya of St. Petersburg states that the Jap- anese only occupy. the coasts of the Island of Formosa, whence they dispatch punitive expeditions into the interior. Sev- eral of these have proved unsuccessful. ‘The Novoe Vremya dispatch also states that the opposition in Japan is agitating against the decision of the government to evacuate the Lio Tung peninsula. It is also stated that Corea demands an increase of the army and navy to defend the national interests. ——_+ e+ ____ Transfers of Real Estate.
