HE ONLY LASTED TWO ROUNDS, || And Then the Most De- spicable fcs to Avoid Pun- ishment at the Hands Jackson, Itesorts to Smith Delibarately Foulrd LCopyight 1889 by James Gordon Rennett.] Loxpoy, Nov. 10.—|New York Herald Cable—Special ‘to Tir Ber. |—Jam Smith, the heavy weight champion of England, was | used as an exerciso bag by Peter Jackson, the Australian fighting Kthiop this morning. The Hight lasted less than two full rounds, and Smith was 80 badly punished in the firsy round that intho second he deliberately cross-buttocked Jackson, therefore at once giving the fight to the Australian awmid a scono of great excitement. Hoth men came tothe city on Sunday from Brighton, where they had been train- ing. Both aunounced that they wero in splendid condition, Smith weighing thirtcen and one-haif stone and Jackson fourteen stone. Smith looked a trifle big for his height, while Jackson carried histremendous weight as 1f he were just rigt Three hours before the fighy began he modestly said that he hoped to win. At the same time he smiled, and showed his ivories. Parson Davies also seemed con- fidenc and produced £200, which he said he was ready to put up on the Australian at the best rates he could get. For some days the o0dds were on Jucison, first at 6 to 4 and then 5t4. An nour before the fight the odds rose, and in the new quarters of the Pelican club, where the fizht took place, it was hard to get better than 2 to 1 on Jackson. The Pelican club's new quarters are in Gerrard street, ‘Thiey were opened to-night, and, as six hundrad men witnessed the fizht, few members of the club were eut. The purse for which the men fought was £1,000, contributed by a fow members. The agree- ment was that the wiuner was tb get £500 and the loser £200, 80 that Smith, discredited 8 he now is, need not go into active retires ment penniless. At 1 0'clock Smith entered the ring. His seconds were Jack Baidock aad Jack Harper. Jackson followed a few minutes luter. His seconds were Sum Fitzpatrick and Jack Fallon. When the articles of agreement were read Baldocek objected to Jackson wearing a belt, but the judges, who were W. J. King and P. Bettison, ruled in Jackson’s favor. G. H. Vize had been agrced on as refereo. An- other wrangle took place over the gloves. Juckson complained thut thoy were oo small. Toud-voiced and ri Baldock made a great deal of noise, but did not pre- vent Jackson being properly fitted with four- ounce mittens. Meanwhile the spectutors were gotting ex- oited, und it wasn'tun excitable crowd, for the majority had seen more than one go with bareknuckles, Inthecrowd were members of hoth houses and many owners of titles who are in neither house. Sir John Astley and following were there. Pugilism was reore- sented by Mitchell and lesser lights of the ring. Lord De Chfford was on hand, but his crony, the marquis of Queensberry, was not insight, but perhaps was only lost in the crowd. At twenty minutes after 1 the rivals facod each other. Jackson was very fina, but had a tremendous advantage iu height and reach, and he sparred beautifully. By means of a feint he drew Smith within reach, but the the latter popped out of harm. Smith triod for the body aud at length got one home and followed it up by delivering his left on the face. Jackson missed a nice opportunity of using his right as Smth lost his balance, and the i{Englishman rushing in, jabbed his left on the stomach, causing Jackson to flinch and biow tremend- ously. One hundred pounds even on Smith was offered without, takers, Smith did not care for the Australian’s straight loft hand- ers, and ducked to avoid, at the same time using his shoulders. Juackson soon eot used to these tactics, and after feinting with his left, brought his right across and landed heavily on the head. The tvio now hueged each other, and it was some time bafore they would break away. At length Jackson got a good chance and brought his left flush on the mouth, Smith rushing in and fibbing away on the body. At this game Jackson was all there, and he returned the compli- ment without stint, and when time was called Smith went to his corner flushed about the face. He was also blowing hard and scemed palpably distressed. Jackson was cool, but not smiling, something to ‘which be is not much given. Coming up for the second round, Jackson looked vicious, . Smith had been almost too freely waited on, and did not scem in a hurry to get to work, and Jackson at once , followed him and planted his left on his face sgam, As Jackson closed the Englishman dashed both hands sharply on his ribs, but received o similar visitation on the head, This did not do Smith any good, and he slipped away and tried to avold Jackson all he could. As he again got within distance Jackson let fly with the left hand and fairly staggered Smith, who was already weakenng. They now com- menced hugging again, but n a very fow secouds Swmith was out of reach, dodging to avoid the Australian's onslaught. Smith met him with bis shoulder, and Jackson, who was very quick on his feet, urying to give Swith a crusher with bis right, slipped and fell down. He was soon up and at it again, but they rushed into holds and fibbed on the body, at which game Swith suffered the most. Jackson was mow fawly on nis mettle, and went ofter Swith across the ring, eventually driving him with both hands on the head into his corner, So bot was the pace made that Smith could not stand it, and in a few seconds Was powerless to defend humselt and hung on 10 the ropes with his right hand. While thus seeising to avoid punishmeut Jackson gave him a couple of smashing blows, and the fight was to all intents and purposes over, Smith simply bolding on with s right hand while Juck son hit him when and where and how he pleased, Jackson had Smith at his mercy, but he 4id not take an undue advantage, and at last be stepped back and Jer Swith come away from the ropes. Tno lat- ter bad @ good rest, and, pulling himseif together, rushed at Jaokson, aud, elaspiug bim areund the body, gave him a back heel iu themiddle of tiue ring. This was an infringement of the rules, and the cominotion was tremendous. Fallon and Fitzpatrick at once appealed to the referee, Quiet was not obtained for a long time, and | ‘when at length Vize could galn bearin, said: “Laward the fight to Jackson,” At this anuouncement the cheering was tremendous, Jackson was the hero of an | made = oviition, his manly style and fair fighting | having gained him the good wilkof the whole : company. Smith tore tho gloves off and rush at Jackson, who had ted him 80 fairly as to get | 1s of scorn from 306 of tho fighters in the crowd. Before Smith reached Jackson a police inspector promprly erfered, and Smith was advised 10 bottle his wrath, 1f Smiith had laid a hand on Jackson after the latter had put down his hands on being proclaimed the victor there would probably have been a pretty rumpus, as Jackson made friendsof the crowd by his maniy style of i ting, wher the crowd, rlish though it was, had as much of Smith as it wanted, and felt that ho had never deserved the title of heavy weight champion of Iingland. Slavin's stack will now o up with rush, and he wiil find 1t dificult to get outof a match with Jackson, e WILL tre we HE REIUKNY 10 FRANCD. Rumors That Bou Face His (Copyright 1859 by Jam: Pams, Nov. 10.— Zork Herald Cable—Special to Tie Be) o mecting of Boulangists hield at Jersey has not proved a very briliant affair. Only a corporal's guard of deputies, supposed to belong to the party, responded to the “brave general’s’ summons, and aside from commonplace ufter-diuner discourses there was no speech- making, nor was any manifesto or proclumas tion addressed to the French people promul- gat Verily, times have changed. What was the object of the conference between Gen- eral Boulanger und his partisans, and what, if any, determination was arrived at, 1s not known. If any resolution was taken or any live of policy decided upon the secret b been better kept than is usual in suc “The report was, it is true, current ¢k day that the return of the chicf of the na- tioual party was imminent, To-morrow was even fixed as the day when Paris would u neral Boulanger within its walls at the hiead of an imposing manifestation of his supporters asscrubled in the Place do la Concorde, on the occasion of the reopening of the chamber of deputies, Thore is not, however, much probability that anything of the sort will occur. In the first place, 1t would be very difficult for General Bou- langer to reach Paris without falling into the hands of M. Constans’ police, in which case hie would complete the journcy seated be- tween two gendarmes to find lodgings ready for him in the Conciergerie, or within the walis 0f some other prison. 1t is hard to believe that the general 18 even contemplating such a desperate move, It is now getting too late for him to risk areturn to France.

But as matters now stand, the auspicious mo- ment for « coup d’audace has passed. Were he to return it would beto be arrested and imprisoned. He would be entitled to a new trial, the result of which would in all proba- bility be a voyage to Noumea on a man-of- war, It isnottobe supposed that a man wlho has always shown so much prudenco will run such risks. As for the manifestation threatened for to-morrow, the government being fore- warned will certainly be prepared to puv down any attempt at disorder, The Bou- langists are, it is true, nuwerous in Paris, and the Ligue des Patriots has been re- cognized under new ieaders. The party can also count upon the co-operation of certain re volutionary elements which are always ready to take a hand in street disturbances, but whut can they expect from such a breach of public peace if they failed to precipitate a revolution during the presidential crisis‘at- teudant upon the resigration of Grevy and thie election of Carnot There is no ljkeli hood that they will prove any more succss ful now. Not only is: the government stronger than it was then, but it 18 no seeret that it is not only ready but fully determined toact with promptness and vigor. After their piteous|failure in the electoral battle it will be quite useless for the [Boulangists to resort to insurrectionary measures, ‘Ihe re- public and the government has now nothing to feur, either from the tardy return of Gen- ernl Boulauger or from street manifestations by s partisans. —_——— ANARCHIS)S PEACEFUL, Lucy Parsons Waved the Red Flag And Thar Was Al CnicaGo, Nov, 10.—The anarchist memo- rial celebration today was very tame, in fact the only noteworthy fincident was fur- nished by Mrs. Lucy Parsons, who in de- flance of the police prohibition of red flags, huug one from the window of her residence. A policeman was sent to notify her to tuke it down. Inis is a free country,” said Mrs. Par. sons, *why can’t I wave the flag ot my doc- trinel” “Because my orders are to pull it down,” said the patrolman, and without further parley he tore dowa the flag and took it 1o the station. The day at Waldneim cemetery was dreary and cold.” From a crowd of 5,000 last year the attendance to-day had dwindled to less than two thousand, and of this number not a fow were merely curiosity spectators. The floyal decorations were profuse and beauti- ful, but the only inscription which had u tinge of the old-time style was one reading: lurdered, But Still Alive.” During the exercises Miss Spies, Mrs. Schwab and Mrs, Fischer stood at the head of the graves while Mrs, Parsons, sitting on the damp ground by her husband’s grave, with her little boy by her side, abandoned herself to teurs After musical selections C. J. Clemens, of Topeka, Kan., stepped forward and an- nounced himself us an Awerican unarchist. Although he understood his life was in danger in Chicago, he was determined to have his say, Clewens then abused the laws aud authorities 1n & mild way. Paul Grottkau spoke in a much milder vein than last year. His address was prin- cipally devoted to the crimes of the aristoe- racy. “Ounly through blood,” smid he, *‘can white slavery be abolished. Don’t imagine we ure at peace. We are &t war with exist- ing conditions. Of courso we cun’t have a battle every day, but the encrgy of our forces will gather ana the inevitable conflict in which we hope to be successfull will conie.” ‘'wo other brief speeches were made, No disturbances ocourred throughout the day.

GATHERING AT THE CAPITAL. Gongressmen Theie Toward Washington —Edgerton's Appointment Expereted This Week—Rruce's Denial, Turning Faces Wismixarox B 3 [FoURTEENTH ST Wasiixaros, D; €., Nov, The result of the election in Obio last k& has undoubtedly done McKinl spenkership canvass violence and there are those who predict that 1t may lead him to withdraw from the race. Some of his friends, however, say it will do him gooas; that it emphasizes Ohio as a doubtful state, and that since his district is to be gerrymandered he ought to bo made speaker so as to help him to a re-eloction, It will be remembered that Mr. Reod was given the complimentary minority vote for the speakership in the Forty-cighth congress, upon his own request, for the purpose of as- sisting him before his constituency. There is no question but that to-night Mr. Reed has tho polo in the race for the speakerslip. It is now with him simply a question whether there will bo more members *who will give nim a complimentary voto on the first ballot, than will come to him s second choico aftor the first ballot. Opinion is about equally divided. Many contend that he cannot sted unless he has over sixty-five votes from the start and shows a good ain ou second ballot. There is talk of all the other candidates having a conference with a view, since 1t is against Reed, of consolidation. derson, the Towa candidate, any compliments, and if he lived t would from the start be a very formiaable candidate. Cannon appears a likely wioner, gaining steadily. GATHERING AT THE OAPITAL. y the end of this week a majority of the membera of the lower house of congress are expected to oe tere and all of the candidutes for the speakership and other-ofiices will have their headquarters open. Many mem- bers have arrived smce yesterday worning, Three of the speakership candidates are already Leve, Messrs, Cannon, Henderson and Barrows. Most_of the Neoraska and most of the Iowa delegation ure expected here by the end of the week.

Bruce, of Mississippi, smd to your correspondent to-night, in refer- ring to the published statement that Presi- dent Harrison had sent for hum after the election lust week and had requested him to make a statewent to the public anent the an- nouncement thut the colored people had re- buked the administration by their refusal to vote or that they had voted the democratic ticket: *Ihere 18 no foundation whatever for such a statement. While I was at the ‘white bouse on the day named, no reference was made to the coloréd votera at the recent elections, The interview with me published at that time wus not inspired by any one, but was based upon my knowledge of the colored people. The colored men did mot vote the democratic ticket and are not respousible for the result of tiio election. Tn this, as in other campaigns, they have been luyal to the re- pabiican partys nor can the administration of President Harrison be held responsible, for the reverses which wo sustained at the poils last Tuesday. Thoy were due solely to local issues, In Iowa, for instance, to prohibition, and in Virginia to local dissentions.” ME ASPDIES IGH The statement has been widely .cfrcu- lated that Colonel H. L. Swords, of the treasury department, is a candidate for tho position of sargeant-at-arms for the next bouse, A friend of Colonel Swords, in an- swer to a direct question, said that ho knew positively that Colonel Swords was not, and never had been & candidate for the place. He said, however, that as there was a prob- ability that there would be & reorganization of tho oftices of the United States senate, Colonel Swords had consented to allow his nume to be submitted for the place of ser- geant-at-arms of that body, and that he will be prosented by Senators Allison and Wil son, Itis not at all likely, however, as o large number of senators have assured 'Tng BEe correspondent, that Sergeant-at-Arms Canady will be displaced. He has given as Kood satisfaction as any officer could, URGING EDGERTON. Governor Mellette, of South Dakota, ar- rived from his home at Watertown this af- ternoon and went immediately to the Riggs house, wheve he was closeted all the after- noon and evening with Senators Peutigrow and Moody. A confereuce was held relative 10 the awarding of appointments to four or five distinguistied citizens o the state of South Dakota. Senator Pettigrew expected to leave for his home to-night, but will re- main until to-morrow night, so0 as to call upon the president to-morrow with his col- league and Governor Mellette and present tne name of Juage A. J. Edgerton, of Mitch- ell, to be judee of the Unitea States district court for South Dakota, These gentlemen are very much in earnest aboutJudge Bdger- ton's appointment, and after a preliminary conference with Attornecy General Miiler they are confident that the appoiutment will be made this week. President Harrison will be asked to nameJudge Edgerton for the po- sition to-morrow, when it 18 expected that the question of who shall be nutional bank exawiner for the district of the two Dakotas and Wyoming will be definitely settled. Juage John H. Drake, of Aberdeen, 18 tho favorite cundidate and has the endorsement of botb senators and the governor of South Dakota. While Governor Mellette is here and be- fore Senator Pettigrew starts home there will be some local land officers agreed upon.

Many a congressman 18 mapping out plans and bills which will vanish into very thin air when King Caucus and the party leaders examne them, The coming session of congress will make 7 triking legislation ) ng contests, Forerost among the latter will be the inovitablo fight over tho rules, and unfortunately for tho best interests of legislation, the democratic minority s 80 strong that the ind a sensiblo and practicable rovis is not at all encouraging. The Blair educationul bill, it is safe to say, stands a botter chance of 'passing than it ever did vefore, and it is more than probable that it will become a law at last. Practical legislation on the internal rovenue lnws 1s assured.

Mr. Windom will also recoumend a revi- sion of the tariff on the basis of the last sen- ate bill, and President Harrison's messago will also refer in_unmistakable terms to the necessity of tarif revision. The pension laws will also come up, but it is very doubtful whether the existing law will bo made more liberal than it uir is. A vice pension is not among the present probabilities, Ihe silver men feel encouraged at Secre- tary Windom’s very evident chunge of heart from the lukewarmuess, not o say opposi- tion, which ho manifested a few months ago on the subject of silver coina A searching investigation of the pension bureau and of the civil servics commission’s methods may also be contidently expected. AR L e THE TREASURY REPORT. A Remarkable Year in the History of the Nation's Kinances, WasnINGTON, Nov. 10.—Trezsurer Huston, in his report of the operations of his office during the fiscal year and the condition of the treasury to June 30 last says: “The year is characterized as a remark- able one in the history of the public finan both the revenues and the expenditures hav- ing been exceeded but at few times since the founaation of the govermment, The former amounted to $387,050,055 and the latter to $200,238,978 inclusive of 17,202,862 paid in premiums on ponds purehased. The surplus revenues on June 30 were $57,761,000, a de- crease of §23,580.193 compared with the year before, counting the premium on bonds as ordinary expenditure. On June 30, 1853, there wus in the treas- urer’s custody in cash and effective bonds the sum of §764,720,335 and a year later the sum $760,043,871. 'I'he current habilities de- creased n the interyal from $148,201,347 to $127,031,880, and the reserve from' §29,50 600w #193,007,047. The gold in the treasury In _excess of certificates outstanding was $103,601,172 wm 1883 and $18¢6 440 m 18380, Notwithstanding the loss of goid, both in the ageragate and in the amount nov covered by certificates, amount— g to nearly 4 per cent, the vosition of the trensury wus strengthened in every respeot save in the amount of the reserve. The total assets, liabilities and reserve all fell off about 14 per cent, At the baginning of the year the free gold was $15,000,000 and at the close $38,000,000 in excess of the liabilities, le funds, exclusive of up- wards of 28,000,000 on deposit mith the states under the law of 1886, amounted at the end of the year to §1,416,433, havinz been decreased by an appropriation of $24.016 to cover losses in the New, Xork sub trcas and increased by the loss of $10,000 at n Francisco reported by the —assistant treasurer there in 1880, The treas- urer suggests thay the present meth- ods of keepmg the accounts, by which he is charged with funds that do not exist, bo changed 80 the books at all times will show the true state of tho treasury without raal or apparent discrepancies. Tho chauges that took place tn the cur- rency were an increase of about $34,000,000 in the stock of silver, & contraction of $i1,- 000,000 ,in natioual bank circulation and a loss of §25,750,000 of gold, The report shows that 1 the period of four years the publio ownorship of silver was nearly doubled, while the volume of notes was diminished from 5,147 1o $530,080,478. The in- crease in the circulation ot silver certificates was about §56,000,000, baving kept pace with the rate for the two previous yecars. The new issues of smull denominations appears 10 have fully supplied the needs of the coun- ry, During the year national banks withdrew $60,340,000 of their bonds held by the treas- ury as security for their circulation. The deposits amountod to $25,343,700, There re- mained at the close of tho year $148.121,450 belonging to 3,262 banks as security for cir- culation aud $45,222,000 belonging to 270 banks as security for deposits, The report shows the minimum limit of bonds for the present capital of banks was about 50,000,000 or $60,000,000 below the amount now on de- 08it. P ‘I'ne amount of public mouey held by de- positary banks rap down from 58,715,511 to $17,250,714. The semi-aunual tax on circula- tion amounted to $1,410,331 for Lhe yeur, Net deposite during the year amounted to $32,484,415, of which the sum of $20,583,550 was for the security of-the circulatiou of active bauks, The question whether or not banks should be required to redeem upsigned notes stolen from them and put into preulation has been considered, and the urer’s opinion 1s that as the law requires the banks to provide for the redemption of motes 1ssued by them, whether paid out or net,the imaocent holder is eutitled 10 the advantage ol the provision, The report closes withisome criticisms on the inferiority of the.provisions for the safety of public funds aud makes certawn recommendations for improvements, o il He 18 Now i Canada.

It was the commencement of the tripla colebration of the hundredth anni “he appointment of the first Ameri lio bishop, the inauguration of tho Catholic congress ever held m the United ates, and the dodication of the new na- tional university for Catbolics. Ten thousand strangers were in Baltimore to witness the spectacle—four times as many people, not counting the local Catholics, us could possibly be accommodated in the ca- thedral, where the initial sceues were to be witnessed. The hall 1 which the priests assembled was elaborately decorated. About the doors weore the papal colors, yellow and white, and over these stretching upward to tho eaves, wero great streamers of reld, white and blue. When all were ready 600 clergy, walking two and two ewerged clad in surplices and black cassocks and berettas. At the door- way of the curdinal’s house and leading up the broad steps, with sabres and pohshed hel- mets glittering in_the bright morning sun- light, were double lines of guards. Hore again the papal colors and stars and stripes were intermingled. Tn all directions tue streets seemed flled with people. and the open windows of the surroundiug dwelliugs had their quota, Presently while the white surpliced priests were opening their ranks, o mass of purple enveloped figures were seen in the cardinal's doorway. Ivwasa gathering of nearly all v holic bishops and arctibishops of the United States with representatives from Mexicn, Cauuada, England and Rome. The ates now came forth from the big portico airs, and as each two stepped into the reet their robes were caught up by diminu- tive altar boys in waiting, Hore and there among the silken purple vestments of the bishops could be seen the coarse brown or white garb of the bearded abbot, Through the long lines of priests the pre- lates threaded their way all around the square 10 the main entrance of the cathedral, the rear of the procession being brougzht up by Archbishop Feehan, of Chicago, who im- mediately preceded the pgolden vestured cross bearer, followed by two spave, slight looking men aimost hidden in dazzling searlet. The two men in scarlet were the cardinals of the Romau chureh in America—Gibbons, of Baltimore, und Tasctereau, of Quebec, Eight alcolytes upheld their long vestments, and surrounding them were their monsig- nors with the papal delegates, "O’Counell and Satolli, of Rome. Within the cathedral ten minutes later was @ scene simply maguificent. The pows throughout the church were crowded to the utmost with the laity. 1In striking coutrast with the dark clothed congregation thus formed..were the aisles, ceuter aund front and sides, packed with snow white surpliced priests. Against both the laity and the priests sbone the serried purple ranks of the prelates inside the sanctuary. On either side was the dajs for the cardinals. At the high altar stood the mitred celebrant of the mass, Archbishop Williains, of Boston, and over all was the great white and gold dome of the cathedral. At the consecration of the host the cardinals advauced from the sides with théir monsigners, and bowidg them- selves low kneltat the priedien. Back of them was & row of richly arrayed acolytes bearing lighted bronze torches. ‘As Cardinal Gibbons retired to his dais the reporters 1 the improvised press gallery noticed for the first time, not, six feet away from him, in the sanctuary among tho ab bots, the black face of Fatheér Tolton, of Chi cago, the first colored Catholic priest or- dained in America. Probably the most impressive part of the mass, next to the consecration, was the con- ferring of the papal blessing, The mass ended with a special intercession for tho pove, chanted by all the cler The first oration of the centenary was de- livered by Arcnbishop Ryan, of Philadel- phia. The patriotic spirit of the archbishop’s address seemed . to awaken general enthusi- asm, but the mosttelling cffect was produced when he vindicated the right of Catholic ed- itors, if need be, to comment on the failings of the clergy. In the course of his address Archbishop Ryan said: *Of all false charges alleged against the Catholic church the most senseless and un- founded is thatshe fears science and that 8ho is the enemy of education. Her oppon- ents almost in the same breath charge her with being the foe and the monopolizer of education, and yet the last man in the world to fear intellectual progress, whetber popu- lar or individual, 18 the Catholic, He well knows that the truthisone; that God can not contradict in the revolations of socrip- ture wiat he exhibits in the revelations of science. Hence a man’s fearlessness of such science will be in proportion to the cer- tanty of his convictions of the truths of revelation.” The archbishop continued, addressing the laity: WAnd, on this great historic occasion, you must not be mere observers, but we trust your representatives will speak out freely and fearlessly in the lay congress which forms s0 1nteresting a feature of this con- tennial celebration. You know how false the charge of the enemics of the church is that_you are priest-ridden, Tke clergy do not fear the light of day, and If mistakes were made by Catholio' editors regurding their acts, it was not all an ovil for iv clearly showed the rightful independence of Cath- olic jou n ‘The arghbishop gave general statistics of the cnurch during the century as follows: **Wheu Bishop Carroll was consecrated in 1790 the entire population of the United States was a little more than 4,000,000. To- day the Catholic population is §,000,000, with 8,000 priests, 1,500 churches and chapels, twenty-seven seminaries and sixty-five col- leges {lml academies and over 8,000 parish 0ls, The remarkable statistics quoted become marvelons when we consider the antagon- ism of the majority of the people of this country to the Catholic church, As in pagan uimes, in this country the Catholic church’s perfect organization was feared as possibly dangerous to the state, and a great and numerous party, afraid to act in the oven duy entered into @& secret society against a hanaful of their fellow citizens, Foew people realize bow much indirect bene- fit this cowardly opposition was to the church during the brief, inglorious existence of the party prophetically named at its birth the ‘know nothing' party, Thoughtful men of the nation who opposed this party wero driven into the ranks of the chureh’s defend- ers. lmportant conversions and the clearing away of much ignorance and prejudice were the results, The civil war, which so re- tarded the nation and all religious in- stitutions, including our _own, sepa- rating all non-Cathbolic denominations into northern apd southern organizacions, showed forth the united power of the Cath- olic church and also exhibited her marvel- Jous and well regulated charity. Hence since the war there is a great change in pop- ular seatiment 1o relation o the Catholie church. o addition to this it must be re- membered that Catholics and protestants now associute more freely and intimately and understand each other better, * * % _Bup we must also bear in wind that there are sta- tisticgof losses known ouly to the mind of God; that many bave fallen away, 1 be- lieve that in the last century we could bave done more for the colored people of the south [and the | unmindful limited Indians of resources tribes, 1 the zeal, the for its oxeroisos of the southern bishops nor the ‘CAL s sacrifico of the Indian missionaries, but os 1 ovo that ne slavory and the unjust treatment of the Indians are two great olots on American civilization, so 1 feel that in the churen also the most reasonnble causo for rogret in the the fact that more could have or the same de- pendent classe 1ho name of God, resolve tor those shortc magnificent futur his country it o are only true 1o her, to our country und 1o ourseives.” A ringing To Deum by the choir orches a brought ac I'his afternoon there wos a banquet given at which all the visi prolates were prosent.

Cmoaco, Nov. 10.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.]—The protest of the Illinois grain shippere against the inspection and grading of the state grain inspector at Chicago is so emphatic that the railroad and warehouse commission bas decided to hold a series or meotings and fully investigate vhe subject. At the meeting of last weel a scoro of prom- inent shippers from all portions of tho stute argued ugainst the present practices of the state inspector and the commission has resolved at the next meeting to accord a hearing to representatives of tho Chicago board of trade and other interests. Tdeny,” said Chief Grain Inspector Price to your representative, “that there has been any variation in the mode of inspection. It is proposed to maintain a high grade, for if that is not dome Chicago could not be the grain centre that she is to duy, ago is the market above all others, and if furmers desire high prices for wheat it is certainly advantageous to maintain a hich grade. If the grade was lowered the price would drop 4c or No injustice can possibiy be done shippers, because they cun not get all their whoat into contract grade. 1f shippers can not get the grade they think they should, thoy can setl by sample on the ts of the grain, If the grade was re would be no attempt to get wheat into contract graae, because, as a consequence, the price would drop. Cities that bave tried to build up a grain trade by lowering the standurd, in_their eagerness to onter into competition with Chicago, have ruioed their wheat trade by so doing. 1t has been suggested that the inspection de- partment furnish to_shippers of the state at the beginning of each season samples of low grade wheat, that they may have them for use in buying, and 1o enable them to know just how tho grain will be graded. This meets my hoarty endorsement, aud 1 wope the board will make an order to that effect.” THE W, O, T. U, Reading of the Annual Address— Children's Mass Meectipg.
