OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN am) Tin; federation or catholic SOCIETIES ADJOlItNS. Will 3Icet In Chicago Next July To Hare 'o Connection vrlth the Hierarchy or Politic. CINCINNATI, Dec. 11 The American Federation of Catholic Societies, after a pension of three day?, this afternoon ad journed to meet in Chicago July 15, 1002. After the final adoption last night of the new constitution and the election of of ficers this morning, this, the last day, was rrostly devoted to the consideration of plans for Held work. The committees met after the adjournment of the convention and the executive beard concluded Its session this evening. The national officers are: President, T. B. MInehan. Columbus, O.; vice presidents, L. J. Kaufmann, New York; T. II. Cannon, Chicago, and Daniel Duffy, Fottsvillc, Pa.; secretary, Anthony Matre. Cincinnati; treasurer, II. J. Fries, Erie, Pa.; marshal, Christopher O'Brien, Chicago; executive board, Nicholas flonner, Iowa; Gabriel Franchere, Illinois ; E. O. Reardon, Indian apolis; George W. Gibbons. Pennsylvania; P. II. McGuire. Pennsylvania; M. 1. Mon ney, Ohio, and Fa backer, Louisiana. The convention closed amid scenes of jollification over the completion of a gen eral organization of the Catholic laity that has been in progress the past year. While distinguished prelates have not only indorsed, but also co-operated in starting the federation, there seems to be an un written law that the organization is not to be connected with the hiearchy or with politics. Th name of Father Joseph Ffluger, of Buffalo, was eloquently pre sented for membership on the executive board. Bishop McFaul Immediately took the stage and insisted that the framers of the constitution contemplated no clerical connections officially with-the federation and he insisted that jt was distinctively a confederation of laymen. All of the of ficers and members of the committees are laymen. The only exception is that of the rplritual adviser, and all Catholic orders make this exception, even the amateur lit erary societies. It is said that the changes in the national officers was largely lue to the opositlon to all having political aspirations. Judge Thomas XV. Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn, one of the first vice presidents. ex-Senator John J. Coyle. of Philadelphia, the first chairman of the executive board. John J. O'Rourke. of Philadelphia, the first secretary, and other original promoters were dropped from official positions In the federation. They were tendered votes of thanks for their efficient efforts as founders of the federation. While all of the retiring- of ficers were thanked in resolutions of praise, the action regarding ex-President II. J. Fries was especially striking. It was fol lowed by a long demonstration of ap plause. Alphonse Koelble. of New York, in eulogizing Fries, said the latter could have been re-elected president, but that Fries himself sail a public speaker, like Mln"4 han. who Ia a lawyer, was needed, and he refused to make the race. Fries was elected treasurer without opposition and he was' the only one of the new officers elected by acclimation. In framing the constitution some trouble was experienced with those representing other than Eng-llsh-speaknig societies. The Irish and Ger nan orders jire well represented among the officers. Gabriel Franchere. of Chicago, was elected on th executive board as a representative Frenchman and other na tionalities were represented on the com mittees. The new constitution was so amended that members of the executive committee on law, finance and arbitration will also bo members vxoMicIo of the executive board, of which the officers are also ex ofnclo members. The election of Anthony Matre. who is principal n Philomena parish school In this city, as secretary means that the hmdquarters. at least until next July, will b" In Cincinnati. President MInehan. of Columbus, and Secretary Matre are situated only a little over three hours' ride apart and expect to be in conference frequently. There have already been many applications by telegraph for copies of the new consti tution and the officers and executive board expect to circulate large numbers of them very soon. TO IMPROVE ITS PLANTS. United Jtat- Mecl Corporation "Will Impend n Lnrue Sum of Money. PITTS BURG. Dec. E.-The Chronicle Telegraph says to-day: "Some extensive Improvements and enlargements of the various rlants of the United States Steel Corporation have Just been decided on by the advisory board of the big steel com bination. It has been developed that the o'.e object of the insp ction tour of Presi dent C. M. Schwab and other officers last month was to con.-lder suggestion's made by the district managers. The most Im portant action of the board was a decision to largely Increase the steel producing capacity of the corporation, as the output of finished Material Is far In advance of that of the Bessemer converters and nn hearth plants. One of the plans is to equip all the upMi htarth I'urnic-s of the Car negie Steel Company at Duqu jne. that the iteel may be- made by the Mundil procesa which has already proved so successful at Homestead. It Is estimated that the monthly output can t increased thousands Of tons by adopting this prucess at all the open hearth plants of the company. It has been decided by the American Sheet ßteel Company to install Additional mills let the rolling' of heavier gauges and the hard to get into?

"The American Tin Plate Company also will in the near future Install machinery for the rolling of black plate for tin mills that will be largely automatic It Is said on reliable authority that machinery In this process will do from two-thirds to thre-fourths of th work now done by hand on the hot mills and the output will be materially increased. PATRICK NOT RELEASED. The Court, However, Order That Ills Trial lie Not Delayed. NEW YORK. Dec. 12. Albert T. Patrick was brought before the Supreme Court to day on a writ of habeas corpus obtained by his counsel, Cantwell & Moore. The writ was obtained on the ground that the dis trict attorney had failed to prosecute on the indictment handed down on April 25, charging Patrick with the murder of Wil liam Marsh llice, and that, therefore, the accused had been deprived of his constitu tional right to a speedy trial. To-day's hearing was before Justice Beach. Robert M. Moore asked for the dis charge of the defendant. He said that Pat rick had been confined in the Tombs since Oct. 4, 1 O, although no indictment was found until April 25, and that efforts of de fendant's counsel to secure a trial on the murder charge had been futile. Because of this, and in order not to jeopardize the de fendant's interests in the graver case of murder, counsel had been compelled to se cure numerous adjournments of the contest for the Rice will. Assistant District Attoreny Garvin said the delay was due to the time required bv the experts to examine the contents of Rice's stomach. After further argument the Judge said he would hold the papers in the case, on the understanding that the dis trict attorney will move the case on Dec. 26, and, after a pause, the Justice added, "Or on the 27th. or on the 30th. That this case should be heard is an inalienable right of the defendant, and I will see that it is done." This closedthe hearing and Patrick was taken back to prison. GAVE THEM THE GRIP.

FRIENDS PEACE CONFERENCE. .Nearly l,iUt Quaker AnaciiiMed i o ProtcM Agalnxt "War. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 12. Members of all divisions of the Society of Friends gathered here to-day for the American Friends' peace conference as a protest against war. Nearly one thousand Qua kers were present at the opening session, including Orthodox, Ilickslte and Wilburlte Friends from every section of the country. This is the first combined meeting of the different branches since the division of the society. At the opening session John B. Garrett, of this city, presided. Dr. Benjamin F. Trueblood, of Boston, secretary of the American Peace Society, stated the object of the conference, and said that all branches of the society were united in the desire for peace among the nations. One of the principal speakers was Wil liam G. Hubbard, of Lansing, Mich., who said, among other things: "If the English man cannot show his love for the Boer by killing him. ' neither can the American prove his affection for the Filipino by chasing him through the swamps, burning his villages and destroying innocent life." Howard M. Jenkins. editor of the Friends' Intelligencer. President James Fnthank. of Wilmington College (Ohio), an! ottu-rs read papers. Acquitted of Killing Her Father. CUE F. DE. Col.. Dec. 12.

No Evidence that the Kidnapers In tend to Release the "Women More Atrocities ly Hoers. CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 12.-The latest Information regarding Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, and Madame Tsilka. her companion, Indicates that their condition has been so far ameliorated that they are able to obtain crude comforts. It is even said tho brigands have a doc tor ready at hand in case his services should be needed. It appears that the brigands are now complaining that Miss Stone is now trying to convert them to Christianity. While recognizing the illegal ity of the abduction of Miss Stone and Mme. Tsilka, the brigands contend that their action was in the interest of a sacred cause, and therefore justifiable. The brigands apparently are prepared to hold out all wlntr. They refuse to abate their demands one dollar and have not vouchsafed a reply to Mr. Dickinson's ulti matum, to the effect that they must ac cept his last offer or nothing. It is believed In well-informed circles, however, that were the gold actually proffered at some spot on the border, like Elshnltza or Ya- koruda, within easy reach of the hiding place, by an accredited emissary, the brigands would reduce the amount of the ransom. It is understood here that recom mendations have been forwarded to Wash ington proposing that an ultimatum be sent to Bulgaria. - DER AT 12 O.Y THE TARIFF BILL,. German Government Determined to Force the Measure. BERLIN, Dec. 12. In the Reichstag to day the imperial secretary of state for the interior, Count Von Posadowsky-Wehner, made a kind of general reply to the critics of the tariff, bill. He reiterated the govern ment's determination to carry the meas ure through, and said that, besides other advantages, it had the social-political ob ject of procuring work and good wages for the tollers. The secretary adduced figures showing how the customs tariff of IST'J in creased production and the demand for la bor. He deprecated the fight that was be ing made against wealthy land owners, though personally he favored the forma tion of peasant holdings out of large es tates. The secretary also favored commer cial treaties of long duration. The Reichs tag, the speaker declared, now stood at the parting of the ways. The adopting of the bill was calculated to assist the com mercial treaties, while its defeat would leave the government weakened weapons with which to conduct the negotiations. Herr Muench-Ferber (Radical) said: "Ger many has shown a lamblike patience at American tariff trickery under the Caprivi treaty; we have seen l,!x,u00,liu0 of our money go to the United States never to re turn. The United States will respect us if we act energetically. As the United States cannot reduce the Dingley duties by more than 20 per cent., German duties should equal such reduced American duties." After the tariff bill had been referred to a committee of twt nty-eight members the Reichstag adjourned until Jan. S. CRUELTY OF ROERS. Testimony of Men "Who "Were Wound ed nt UrackenlnaKte. LONDON, Dec. 12. The War Office Is sued a statement to-day dealing with the Boer treatment of Colonel Benson's wound ed at Brakenlaagte, -which is a result of a special investigation of the matter insti tuted by Lord Kitchener. The statement sets forth that eighteen officers and men of Colonel Benson's command were kindly and even carefully treated by the Boers, while the other seventy-five men who were examined testified that they witnessed and suffered atrocities worse than those which followed the Vlakfonteln disaster. These latter said that unarmed and wounded men lying around the guns were killed at close range, and that the survivors of the en gagement suffered torture, being robbed and stripped of their clothing, in spite of their wounds and broken limbs. Lord Kitchener says that evidently the Boer leaders are no longer able to repress murder and outrage on the part of their subordinates. The Brussels correspondent of the Stand ard cables that Mr. Kruger has been In formed of the willingness of some of the powers to intervene in South Africa if the Boer leaders will accept autonomy under the supremacy of Great Britain. The correspondent of the Daily Mall at Brussels says in a dispatch that by a proclamation, dated Nov. 15, General Botha ordered the execution of all burghers enrolled with the British forces as scouts who might fall into the hands of the Boers. The correspondent adds that fifteen such burghers have already been shot. Fonr Proclamation. PRETORIA, Dec. 12. Four proclamations relating to natives have been issued here. The first allows colored ministers and educated natives to apply for letters of exemption from the operation of the pass laws, and other enactments. The second constitutes a more effective prohibition upon the supply of intoxicating liquor to natives under penalties. The third procla mation is for the regulation and protec tion of natives entering and leaving the Transvaal, and the control of native labor on these diggings. It contains extensive precautions, safeguarding native privileges. The fourth regulates native labor agencies along the same lines. AMERICAN SINGERS SCORED. Herman Klein Coming? to Teach Them How to Speak English. LONDON, Dec. 12. Tho leaders of the English musical world, Including Sir Fred erick Bridge, Alberto Randegger, Paolo Tosti. Albert Visettl, Alfred Rothschild, Sir Arthur Trendell and others were present to-night at a farewell dinner, given at Prince's restaurant, to Herman Klein, a singing teacher and musical critic, who will sail for the United States next Saturdav. Sir Arthur Trendell presided. Extraordi r ary criticism was made of American vo calists, "he speakers declared that Amer icans spkat money lavishly in the musical schools r.f Europe, yet succeeded only in learning how to sing in every language ex cept their own. Mr. Klein, amidst ap plause, said that Americans, although they had wonderful voices, did not know how to speak the English language. He in geniously admitted that he was gclng across the Atlantic with the object of re moving this defect. -- FRENCH CLERICALS IN REVOLT. Fighting the Proposed Cutting Off of Snlarte of I'rlenti. PARIS, Dec. 12.-In the Chamber of Depu ties to-day began the discussion of the pub lic worship estimates, which, In spite of the government's opposition, the budget com mission proposes to suppress. M. MUer voye. Nationalist Republican, opposed the suppression of the estlmatea and demand-' ed that the house respect the concordat. Ha said the suDDression of the estimates would be not not merely a religious, but a political and social revolution and an act of spoliation of Catholics. The Abbe Lemire, Christian ' Socialist, pointed out that the public worship budget did not provide for the salaries of the clergy, but provided an indemnity, and. he added, if the budget was suppressed it would provoke civil war throughout France. The discussion was adjourned un til Monday. Won't Ask Uncle Sam's Permission. BERLIN, Dec. 12. Some commotion has been caused in the press here by the pub lication of cablegrams from New York to the effect that Washington considers incor rect the German omcial view of that pas sage in Prtsldent Roosevelt's message con taining his definition of the Monroe doc trine, which is here construed as permit ting of the collection of private claims against South American countries by force. In this connection the Tages Zeltung says; "If Germany found it necessary to occupy a Venezuelan port she would not ask Uncle Sam's permission to do so." "Wilhelm Praises His Ancestor. BERLIN, Dec. 12. Upon the occasion of the unveiling of a monument to the "Great Elector" (Frederick William, eleventh elec tor of Brandenburg), to-day, in the bar rack yard of the cuirassiers of the guard at Breslau, Emperor William eulogized the glorious deeds of his ancestor and his steadfast trus; in God. which, the Emperor said, was the strength of the fatherland, and which he trusted the cuirassiers would always display as he himself had done.

P. for Leitrim, and John O'Donnell, M. 1. for South Mayo, will be prosecuted under the British crimes act on a charge similar to that brought against Connor O'Kelly, M. I'., chuirman of the Mayo County Council. The govern ment decided to prosecute Connor O'Kelly and several officials of County Mayo for holding meetings and delivering intimi dating speeches in defiance of the orders of the police. DR. KRAUSE TO BE TRIED. In the Bow-street Police Court at London on Thursday the prosecution concluded its case against Dr. Krause, ex-Governor of Johannesburg, accused of high treason and inciting to murder. Counsel for the pris oner announced that he reserved his de fense, and Dr. Krause was again remanded until Dec. 18, when he will be committed for the January assizes on the charge of having incited Cornelius Broeksma to mur der John Foster. NEW MAIL ROUTE. Another important step has been taken in developlifjr the new route to Ireland, authorized by Parliament, which may, at no distant date, provide the quickest way for malls and passengers be tween London and Xew York. The con tract for the erection of a pier a thousand feet long at Rosslare, near Wexford, has been closed. A fast line of steamers is to run between Fishguard, on the Welsh coast, and Rosslare, and the idea Is serious ly entertained in certain quarters that this is to be the American mail route of the future. RIOTING AT CADIZ. Cadiz was In a state of partial revolution practically all Wednesday night. Riotous mobs, led by striking bakers, armed with knives and bludgeons, pillaged stores, attacked peace able people in the streets, injured a num ber of persons, threw the whole town into a state of panic, and made the night hideous with shouts of "Long live the social revolution!" and "Down with the bour geois!" After a series of severe encounters, during which many persons on both sides were injured, the gendarmes restored a semblance of order. JUMPED TO ESCAPE FIRE.

NEW POINTS BROUGHT OUT FORTIFICATION AND DIFFERENTIAL HATE QUESTIONS' DISCUSSED. Report on Senator Morgan's Canal Bill-President Rutin, of the Pan. nuta Company, Denounced. WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. The Senate to day agreed to take a vote on Monday be fore adjournment on the r.w Hay-Paunce-fote treaty for the abrogation of the Clay- ton-Bulwer treaty and opening the way for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama by the United States. This agreement was reached after four hours of debate, sufficiently interesting to insure the constant attendance of most of tho senators. Senator Spooner, who was one of the principal speakers of the day, had Just concluded when Senator Lodge made an effort to secure a vote. It devel oped there were other senators who desired to be heard, the result being that the date for the vote was postponed until Monday. The agreement provides for an adjourn ment from to-day until Monday and for meeting at 11 a. m. on that day. The un derstanding is that as soon as practicable after the Senate convenes Senator Lodge shall move an executive session and that the treaty shall have the entire attention of the Senate until a final vote is reached before the adjournment for that day. The principal speakers to-day besides Senator Spooner were Senator Money and Senator Foraker. Mr. Money, while finding much in the treaty to criticise, said that, as he found the fortunes of the proposed canal across the Isthmus inextricably Intertwined with the treaty, he could not see his way clear to do anything that would prevent or even delay ratification. Senator Foraker maintained that the pro visions of the new treaty meet every ob jection made to the original llay-Paunce-fote treaty and cover every essential thing that was included in the amendments made by the Senate to that document. He re garded It as of the utmost importance that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should be wiped out. This result was effected by the con vention under consideration. He asserted that all rights of the United States were amply protected under this treaty and that our absolute and complete control of the canal could not be questioned by Great Britain or any other power. Senator Spooner, who followed, was fre quently interrupted by senators on the Democratic side. One of the first interrup tions came from Senator Bacon and per tained to the right to fortify the canal. Re plying to this inquiry, Mr. Spooner said it was a well-known principle of international law that all treaties, like all statutes, must be read together, and he contended, in this connection, that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the original Hay-Pauncefote treaty and the pending treaty for the proper construction of the agreement should be considered as one series. The Clayton-Bulwer agreement had provided that there should be no forti fications on the canal and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of the .Fifty-sixth Congress had carried a similar provision, but the new treaty struck out the entire fortifications provisions, clearly showing that England, after contending for a half century against fortifications, had waived that provision, thus practically conceding our right to for tify the proposed canal. Questions were asked by Senators Till man and Bailey concerning the right of the United States to blockade the canal and in reply Senator Spooner insisted that the government of the United States could not be bound by any treaty agreement which would prevent this country defending its own property in its own way in time of war. Senator Tillman pressed the inquiry somewhat and he and Mr. Spooner engaged in a somewhat spirited colloquy which, as usual with them, ended good naturedly. A very important question was raised by a number of senators on the Democratic side as to the right of the United States to give a differential rate to vessels engaged in our coastwise trade. This matter brought other senators from the Repub lican side of the chamber into the con troversy. Senators Perkins and Nelson were among those who contributed to this feature of the controversy. Senator Nel son insisted that under existing law the United States would have a perfect right to give to the coastwise trade of this coun try any benefit it might see proper in the use of the canal. It was perfectly well un derstood, he said, that the ships of a foreign nation could not do a coastwise business, and Great Britain had made the treaty with the full knowledge of this fact. Senator Terklns made the assertion that by the acquisition or control of a strip of territory through which the canal would pass the United States would acquire rights which would subject that territory to our coastwise laws, and said foreign bottoms could not trade between ports of the United States and Rny rortlon of the territory through which the canal was built. This view was combated to a certain extent by Senators Tillman and Bacon, the former intimating that if that were true relative to the United States, Great Britain, on account of her Canadian pos session, and Mexico, both extending from ocean to ocean, also could contend for similar privileges. This, he thought, also would be true of any South American country whose territory extends from ocean to ocean. Senator Spooner was decidedly of a con trary opinion and insisted that these coun tries did not acquire any rights of a coast wise trade character along the route of the proposed canal, which territory was un der the control of, or which might be ceded to the United States. The mere fact that Canadian or Mexican territory extends from ocean to ocean would not give them the right to make demands for the gener osity or business foresight of the United States. Senator Spooner also contended that tne United States would have a right to control tho canal after its own manner during any war to which this country might be a party. in the Senate to-day Mr. Clapp. of Min nesota, offered a resolution providing for consideration of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in open session, it went over until the next legislative day. SENATOR MORGAN'S RILL. Favorable Report on the Measure M. Rutin Criticised. WASHINGTON. Dee. 12.The Senate committee on isthmian canals to-day au thorized a favorable report upon Senator Morgan's bill providing for the acquisition from Nicaragua and Costa Rica of the right of way via the Nicaragua route. Senator Morgan later presented this re port to the Senate, accompanying the bill with a voluminous report on the genera' subject of a canal across the Uthums. Ac tion on the bill providing for the construc tion of the canal was deferred. Senator Morgan's report covers more than IX) pages of printed matter and deal vlth many of the questions connected with the construction of the canal, including a thorough Inquiry into the attitude of ;reat Britain on the subject and the different canal routes. He also dlscu"ses the rela tionship of the Pan-American Canal Com pany to the construction by the United States of a waterway across the lsthmuf. end while he makes reference to a letter written by President Hutin. of the Panama Company, to Secretary of State Hay, he noes not give the text of the communica tion. Mr. Morgan says the letter to Secre tary Hay was dated Nov. 22 last and was written after Admiral Walker, as presi dent of the commission, had closed his correspondence with M. Hutin relating to the sale of the Panama canal. He then adds: "The letter to Mr. Hay. with the aDDendixes thereto, and th2 memoranda IC Ü We season in Men's and Boys' Shoe Specials Smoking Jacket and 25 men's fancy blanket Bath Robes f value special for 50 Smoking Jackets, broken sizes, assorted patterns 5 value speci il for 8 aks Washington and that accompanies it, is an attack on the president of the commission replete with lalse assumptions and perversions of fact and is evidently intended to create a side Issue, the debate upon which it is hoped by M. Hutin will delay, if it does rot de feat the final action of Congress in pro viding for the construction of any canal. "This proceeding and the placing of this correspondence in the hands of the Presi dent of the United States by M. Hutin with a request that it be communicated to Con gress, is but a continuation of the pre sumptuous and offensive proposition pre viously made by the Panama Canal Com pany. This company, in a previous admin istration, had succeeded in obtaining the representative of the navy to accept a nominal position in its service at a large salary and expended $l,5w.0OU in New VorK chiefly in acquiring the aid of leading busi ness houses in promoting the De Isseps plan without a dollar ot stock being sub scribed in that city. The desperate linancial traits of the new Panama Canal Company compelled it to make overtures to the United States to unload their enterprise on the United States and their agents became accordingly aggressive in this effort." Speaking of the canal project itself, Sen ator Morgan says the failure to construct such a canal would cause national despair. "For fifty years," he says, "the power of the British government and combinations in the United States, aided by France, have defeated all efforts to open an American canal." He declares the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was an- injustice. Great Britain's control of the Mosquito coast was a pre tense and held us in leash until the control of the Suez canal could be effected. If no other course is open the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should be abrogated by Congress. The major portion of the report was made before the new Hay-Pauncefote treaty was promulgated, but in an appendix the following reference is made to that treaty: "If two-thirds of the Senate shall concur with the government of Great Britain in establishing an effective basis on which a canal for ships through the American isth mus shall be operated, for the security and benefit of all nations, such agreement may well be considered as an advanced step in a true civilization, honorable to both gov ernments and rich in blessings to man kind. It Is a new alignment as to the rights, privileges and powers of the United States, touching the ownership and control of an isthmian canal, based on the general principle of the freedom and neutrality of such a canal that is declared in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and is in accordance with our well-established national policy, often declared and never denied by the United States. Whatever sacrifice It may Involve in benefits that might be otherwise claimed as being exclusive in favor of the United States, in the absence of such an agreement for the benefit of all nation, the American people approve the spirit of this agreement and will adhere to It as an addi tional evidence of their friendly sentiment toward all iK'ople who compete with them honorably for the Increase of the facilities of commerce and for the extension of good will to all the world." Am Evidence of Friendship. PARIS, Dec. 12. While presiding at a meeting of the Anglo-American Christian Association of Paris, which was attended by Dr.. Thurber, of the American church, and many members of the English and American colonies here, the Rt. Hon. Sir Edmund Monson, British ambassador to France, said in the course of a speech, which was warmly received, that he would repeat his statement of three years ago that one of the most pleasurable features of the gathering was that it was an Anglo American association. Since that time the friendliness of thtse two great nations had made marked progress. Lately that friendliness had been greatly increased by the approach of a diplomatic evmt which was about to remove all traces of jealousy between the two countries, some of vhtch had existed perhaps for fifty years or more.
