It would cost four times the value of the vessel to fit her for Arctic ser vice. Tho better informed newspapers poked fun at the project, and Howgate'a second bill was miserably defeated.

This was a great surprise to Washington people who wero familiar with Howgate'a straitened circumstances. They knew that at one time ho had been a poor carpenter, and had risen from thn ranks In the army to thn Srade of a First Lieutenant. He was rawing a Lieutenant's not overabundant pay at the time It was announced that, as the ilovernment would not carry out his plans for rracningtno .-sonn I'oie, lie wouirl do It at bis own expense. Ha really Invested a good deal of money In trying to turn tho Uulnarc into an Arctic exploring vessel. Everybody wondered where Howgato got the money, but lie was non committal. Asa matter of fact, every dollar he put Into the vessel was stolen from the Govern ment, but this was not found nut till later. The Arctic experts In Washington were very curious to know how Howgate was fitting up the flulnare, which lay In tho Potomac In plain view from ouo of the towers of thn Smithsonian Institution. Hut Howgato hnd given strict orders that no one should bo permitted to visit the vessel, tine day Mr. llessels and Mr. Chester of the Polaris expedi tion, clad In the humblo garb of workmen, sauntered down to tho wharf, and pretending to lie mechanics sent by Howgate they lulled the suspicions of thu guard and were admitted.

He was seen i several times late at night on the Ilrooklyn bridge. It is allegid that tho arrrot of Howgate will implicate several officials In 1 Washington who eru Innfllcenllh Hovgat and who are said to hae shared and tonnivrd at his embezzlements.

Meanwhile the vat ious visit ing nnd local clubs had been getting Into line for a iiarade, and when thn tlnvernor's car riage had taken Its position thu start was made for the city. There were three dlvUlons, consisting of visit Ing clubs, many being uniformed, mounted horsemen from the country, und city want and Industrial clubs. In line were several floats pre pared by business men, manufacturers, and worklngmen, which were Illustrative of the issue ol the Republican end of the campaign. Perhaps tho most suggrstlvo of these was a wagon upon whose side stood five glasswnrkrrs. Their liacks were toward the people that lined the sidewalk either way.

Robinson of the Connecticut Supreme Court, ft distin guished Cathollo layman. Judge Robinson's argument set 'forth lh dogma and doc trines of his Church, nnd defended them from what he termed "Protestant misconstruction." He Invited the members of the Conference to a calm and patient study of the faith once deliv ered to the saints and explained by the mother Church and her pastors and teachers, declaring that for all Individual men outside Its pale the Church has no condemnation, hut prays unceas ingly for their enlightenment. Uniting with the See ot Peter Is to lie of tho Church of Christ. Not to acknowledge the Seo of Peter Is to form nnd constitute n human organization. In its un changing doctrine and policy the Roman Catho lic Church can recognize no division or parting of tlio Church, but to romo extent the Church can coOporalo with Protestant bodies, as with any other human corporation, In matters of humanitarian concern. Among tlicsu ho mentioned thn public schools, the hospitals and asvlum. In the dif fusion of charities and tho maintenance nf tho Sabbath observance and public murals, and stemming the tide, of drunkenness, anarchy, and social Impurity.

Like n good mother, thn Church reaches nut tu save her children milling thu laboring classes from tho vice of drunkenness by Inculcating tho virtue of tern peninronnd total nb-tllieiici'. The discussion on thn subject of mutual rela tions between the Catholic and Protestant churches vvns further continued from the l'iithollostandsilnt by the Rev.
