Archbishop ireland, who has been in this city for several days, left Saturday night. During his stay he has had several con- ferences with President McKinley. The rehbishop declined to discuss the signifi- | cance of his calls upon the President, but it has been generally understood that he was acting in the interest of the Catholic Church as to its protection in our new Pessessions. Archbishop Ireland dismisses az without foundation the statements that church matters are liable to cause dissen- sions. He satd: “The church question in our new posses- sions offers no difficulty whatever. Two principles are already settled by the con- stitution and laws of America. There will be no union of church and state, such as is estabhshed by customs or concordate in certain Catholic countries of Hurope. There will be a complete protection of all prop- erties and of all persons. With such prin- ciples Catholics in the United States are satisfied, and Catholics in our new posses- sions will be satisfied. The so-called church question need not be considered by military or peace commissions, It is fully regulated the moment the flag of this country is raised over a territory. The people of our new possessions uyderstand, I am_ sure, this matter very well, and will loyally. ac- cept the situation. Ibmmy not be very easy for them at first to adapt themselves in all cases to this situation; put the embarrass- ments felt will be ‘but temporary. The people will soon realize that it is their duty to support religion by voluntary and per- sonal contributions. “Certain people who talk of those terri- tories as fields for missionary efforts from the United States dg-ngt know what they are talling about.» They might with as much sense organizemissions for the con= version of the Cathélies of Washington as for the conversion df Vaan an of San- tiago, Havana or San —and their la- bors would have as gmiuigh prospect of suc- cess in Washington as in those cities of Cuba or Porto Rico~ — “Cuba and Porto Rieo form an ecclesiasti- cal province, with the archbishop of San- tiago as metropoiitan, and suffragan bish- ops at San Juan and Havana. This prov- ince will take its place in the American hierarchy, just as do the province of Bal- timore and that of St. Paul, making the Hfteenth ecclesiastical province in the United States, and bringing to our Catholic Population an addition of two and a half millions—not to talk of the Islands in the Pacific, so whatever else will come to Amer- ica from the laf war, considerable increase of numbers and power will come from it to the Catholic Church. As a Catholic, I am very much satisfied with the way things have been going—and as an American, I am, of course, thoroughly satisfied. But if I were to speak at length of iry feelings as an American, the interview would be too lengthy, and I will stop at the religious feature of the situa * : + 2 z It matters little what it !s that you want— whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need, 3 AFFAIRS -IN GEORGETOWN Force of Workmen at Work Grading High School Grounds. Henry Rogers Falls From a Third- Story Window — Colored Girl a Fugitive. This morning a large force of men under Andrew Gleason commenced the work of grading the grounds surrounding the new Western High School, at 35th and T streets. According to the plans drawn up the ground will be transformed into a big land- } Scape garden, making a fitting surrounding to the magnificent school building. The contract for the work was given out last week, and according to the understanding the contractor is obliged to complete the work in eighteen days. The work done this morning made a great change in the sur- roundings. The building is expected to be all ready for the opening of the new school term next month. The interior work of the building is nearly completed. The only re- maining work to be done is to locate the furniture. This material has arrived, and by the time the grounds are all graded and completed the interior work will have been finished. The Curtis building, which was formerly occupied by the Western High School, will again come under the control of the supervising principal of the fifth di- vision of the public schools. Its use will greatly relieve the congested condition of a number of smaller schools in Georgetown, A Narrow Escape. Henry Rogers, a teamster in the army, stationed at Camp Alger, retired night be- fore last at the hotel of Mr. Patrick Dugan, 3285 M street, and about 2:30 o'clock in the morning got out of his bed and, when walking around, fell out of a third- story window into an areaway. When dis- covered shortly afterward, it was found that his right ankle was broken and his back injured. Evidently the side walls must have partly broken the force of hi fall, saving nis life. Policeman Will He who was on the beat, called for the patrol Wagon and the injured man was taken to the Georgetown University Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. Colored Child x Wanderer. Last night shortly before 12 o'clock Policeman Birkigt found a colored girl at the terminal of the Great Falls railroad, corner of 36th street and Prospect avenue, who ciaimed to have lost her way. She gave her name as Estelle Johnson, aged twelve years, but she did not know where her home was and could give no inforr tuon thdt would identify her. She was taken to the station, where m was feund she was a fugitive from her parents, who live on Q street near 33d street, to whom she was returned. Once before the girl ran away und was gone for several days. Watermelon Feast. Covenant Lodge, 13, L. O. O. F., held its annual watermelon feast recently at the ledge rooms on Sist street. A good pro- gtam was rendered, consisting of speeches, recitations, songs, poems, music and toasts. These who took part were Messr: Sommers, Maurice Walmer, E. G. Taylor, J. J. Cherry, C. F. Frizzell and Andrew Day. The following members competed for the prize that was to be given to the one writing the best verses on the subject of “The Watermelon:” Messrs. M. M. Brower, C. S. Mason, H. A. Howes, H. W. Selab, Robert R. Cooke, S. T, D, Stirrick, Leo Schoenthal, George W. Evans, Phillip Fouth and J. L. Irwin. The judges were Messrs. W. H. Rollins, E, H. Harner and Frank D. Evans. The prize, a fifty-seven- pound watermelon, was awarded to Harry y. Selah, The entertainment closed with an adjournment to the banquet room, where the luscious fruit was served in abundance. Petit Larceny, Daniel Cole, colored, aged twenty-eight, visited the smali store of John Busch on M street yesterday afternoon, and, while the proprietor was not looking, he put his hand in a showcase and stole two cigars. The proprietor caught him in the act, and the negro, throwing the smokers on the floor, tried to escape. He was held, a policeman summoned, and at thi a charge of petit larceny was placed against his name. —_——— UNDER SUSPICION, Colored Man With a Bullet in His Les. Mounted Policeman John Boland, who is on duty in the county in the vicinity of Benning, is investigating a case involving the supposed shooting of an alleged high- wayman by Mr. James H. Frye, who lives at Seat Pleasant. There is a colored man named James Holmes under treatment at Freedmen’s Hospital with a bullet in his leg, and he is under police guard on suspi- cion that he is the highwayman. He ap- plied at the hospital Thursday afternoon for treatment, saying he had been shot in the county, but not under the circum- stances of the shooting done by Mr. Frye, which occurred early Sunday morning a week ago, while he was returning home from market. He had attended market Saturday night, starting home about 12 o'cleck. Just before reaching the District line on Central avenue he was halted, as he believes, by two men. Because of the darkness he was unable to tell the color of the man who demanded his money. In- stead of handing over his cash he drew his revolver and fired two shots at the highwayman. Then he got in his wagon and went home, So certain was he that he had shot the man that he returned to the spot after daybreak and searched about the road and the woods, expecting to find the body of his victim. Mr. Frye made no report of the affair to the police, but Saturday afternoon Police- man Boland learned of the occurrence and started to make an investigation, with the result stated. He is still at work on the case and hopes he will be able to fix the crime upon the right party or parties. MRS. HERBER’ "S WILL. Her Property Divided Among Chil- dren and Grandchildren.

The bureau of foreign commerce of the State Department has made public advance sheets of reports of consular officers in the West Indies. They show that in some of the islands the Lusiness interests have suf- fered greatly from “hard times,” due, as ene consul described it, to the depressed conditions existing here, but most gener- ally to internal causes. Jamaica particu- larly had experienced two years of severe commercial depression. Contracted bu: ness operations are complained of. In sev- eral cases there were agreeable exceptions to this gloomy condition and outiook so far as trad2 with the United States !s concern- ed, but they were limited mainly to the Ba- bamas and the Barbados. The consuls in Cuba generally were un- able, owing to the indifference of the Span- ish officials, to furnish the statistics d2- sired. Merchants were buying but few goods, and were confining themselves to the necessities of life. The consul at San Juan, Porto Rico, says the volume of busin2ss be- tween that island and the United States for 1895 was as follows: Imports, $1,970,000; ex- ports, $1,573,000. With the exception of wire and tin manufactures, the United States was far behind England and Ger- many in the classes relating to stone coal, glass, petroleum and metal and its manu— factures. In the oil, drvgs and chemical class the United States was largest after Spain. In wool manufactures the importa- tions were nothing compared to those of England and Spain, and in paper, books, ste., the United States made a respectable showing after Spain. In the wood sched ile the United States was first. In the items of scales and boilers the United States was first, as it also was in provisions. The con- sul added: “I wish to call especial atten- tion to ths position occupied by the United States in reference to the volume of trade with this island in comparison with that of other countries. Naturally Spain is first, with the United States second, and this po- sition has been the prevailing one for som2 years, showing that the natural tendency and gravitation of the trade of the island is toward the United States. With a more lib- eral tariff policy and less discrimination toward the United States this trade could be largely augmented, and would become equal or superior to the volume of business transacted with Spain. The reciprocity re- lations, although only in existence for a short tims, greatly increased the volume of trade between the island and the United States, and show what can be accomplished in this direction. The fact is, without the tariff the United States would monopolize nearly the whole of it" ————++_______ Accusers vs. Judges.
