made by Rev. Dr. Carroll, president of

Sermon by Ireland.
The great feature was the installation
address by Archbishop Ireland. He re
garded the installation as one of the most
important events in the Catholic church
in recent years, Archbishop Keane rep
resenting the forward movement in the
church. Archbishop Ireland's subject
■was: "The Church in America—lts Yes
terday and Its To-morrow." He said:
I fear not to say that we have to-day in
the United States fourteen or fifteen millions
of Catholics. 1 speak, too, of the numbers
of churches, colleges, schools, convents, hos
pitals, orphanages and other institutions of
piety, charity, education and apostolic zeal
with which the whole country is covered.
Those are not the creations of the civil state,
or of rich religious corporations, they are
the resuls of the pennies of the Catholic peo
ple, the embodiment in brick and stone of
•he sweat of their brows, of their hard labor,
jestowed freely to God and his Christ.
Glance down through the naves and aisles,
notice the thronging multitudes of men as
well as of women that press around the
altar rail, not merely on high festivals, but
on ordinary Sundays, and follow these multi
tudes iuto their homes, their shops and marts
as they mingle with their non-Catholic fellow
citizens. Is there upon their lips a word of
disloyalty to church? I challenge the most
catholic lands to show me Catholics more
courageous In the profession of their faith,
more consistent in bringing its principles
into their daily manner of life, and if, from
its exterior manifestations, you pass to an
examination of their faith itself, it is, to
the smallest iota, the faith of Peter, the
Bupreme shepherd of the whole flock, to whom
they are united in love and obedience as never
were more so Catholics of any country of
Christendom.
Three-quarters of a century, a half a cen
tury ago, anti-Catholic prejudice was dom
inant in the land. Our non-Catholic fellow
Mtizens were not to be blamed: they had
not known Catholics as Catholics are, and
they treated them according to what they be
lieved of them. But to-day in America the
reign of ill feeling and animosity has passed
away. In America Catholics and non-Cath
olics differ from one another in creeds and
spiritual allegiance, but as true Americans
'.hey respect one another and accord to one
another their civil and social freedom, all
working together in peace and harmony for
the greater weal of society and of country.
Church in America.
The problem before the church of America
■was whether the Catholic religion could
prosper In an atmosphere of absolute free
lona, without aid or prop from state organiza
tion, or even from compact social -or na-
Jional traditions, whether from its innate
ngor, watered by the dewa of heaven alone,
H could live and prosper. To one who be
jieves in the divine origin of Catholic faith,
>r has read diligently its story of ages, the
Jesue of the problem should never have been
doubtful. Yet, so accustomed had Catholics
been to see the church allied with the state,
»r working only in populations in whose
souls it was encrusted by the accretions of
centuries, that many in America and more
In Europe were not willing to trust its vi
tality when plantetd suddenly, as it were, in

"SOO" PLANS
EXTENSIONS
It Will Probably Build to
Aberdeen, S. D.
A BISMARCK EXTENSION
It Is Certainly to Be Built This
Season.
A TWO-DAKOTAS SHORT LINE
Proposed Extemlon Will Connect
* Bismarck and Aberdeen—Will
. • ' Open v Lignite Market.
The recent announcement that the Soo
would snend a million dollars in better
ments this year was only a drop in the
bucket to the important improvements
which that road has in mind.
The Soo has determined to extend its
lines to North Dakota. The western ex
tension now reaches to Braddock, N. D.,
forty miles southeast of Bismarck. These
forty miles will be ironed this season
and Soo trains will run into the capital
city before snow flies.
The Bismarck extension, however, is
only a link. The big piece of building,
practically decided upon, will be the con
struction of a line connecting Bismarck
and Aberdeen by a direct route. The
distance between these points is about
150 miles, but the line will probably run
down to Aberdeen from Wishek, a station
on the present line.
The way is clear for this Important
piece of railroad construction, as the
road has only to follow the grade estab
lished by the old Aberdeen, Bismarck &
Northwestern, which was graded between
Bismarck and Aberdeen several years
ago. The extension from Braddock to
Bismarck will follow also this old grade.
The roadbed was taken over by the Soo
people at the time of the consolidation
of the Minneapolis & Pacific and the Min
neapolis. Sauk Ste. Marie and Atlantic
properties.
Importance of Proposed Line.
The importance of the Bismarck-Aber
deen line can only be appreciated by
Dakotans and those familiar with that
country. Two representative cities of
North and South Dakota are not only
brought into close touch, but an Im
mense field is opened up for the great
lignite coal industry along the line of the
Bismarck. Washburn & Great Falls rail
way. This fuel, which seems destined to
revolutionize things in the Dakotas Is!
wanted all over South Dakota and 'the
demand has become so great that the Soo
has determined to place it in easy reach
of every town in the state. At present
North Dakota lignite, as well as other
freight moving between Bismarck and
Aberdeen, goes around two sides of a
triangle to get into South Dakota The
coal is at present sent from Bismarck
to Jamestown over the Northern Pacific
and over the same line down to Edgely !
and from Edgely to Aberdeen making
a long, circuitous haul of about 230 miles
The Soo's new line will shorten this dis
tance by more than seventy-five milee
There is no railroad extension that
will be welcomed by the people of both
Dakotas as much as this nlanned by the
Soo, as in all of the dreams of railway
extension to the Black Hills, Dakota peo
ple have been wont to include this strong
young line. The extension of the road I
to any part of North or South Dakota
means great things to Minneapolis com
mercially, as the road furnishes the best
of facilities for the shipment of Minne
apolis merchandise into all of its terri
tory.
A Black Hill* Possibility.
Inthe reclaiming of the trade of the
Black Hills, an extension of the Soo to
that country would be the most effective
agent possible. Not only would it please
the people of South Dakota, but it would
also put the Minneapolis wholesaler and*
manufacturer in a position of advantage
in soliciting the trade of that state i
While it is not believed that the Soo
plans a Black Hills extension this year
there is little doubt but that this great
ly needed improvement will ultimately
be undertaken. Other lines might appear
to have a better license to invade the ter
ritory of the Hills than the Soo notably
the Milwaukee, but the rapid develop
ment of the entire section comprehended
in the states of North and South Dakota
makes the entrance of one or more reads
into the Black Hills a matter of a very
short time.
BLOCK OF 200,000 ACRES
,
TO BE SOLD BY XORTHERX PACIFIC
Boston and Duluth Farm Land Co.
the Purchaser— Land Xear
Duluth.
The Northern Pacific is just about to
conclude another land sale of large pro
portions. It is expected that General
Land Commissioner Phipps will, within a
• day or two. sign deeds transferring 200,000
acres of splendid farm lands near the
head of the lakes to the Boston and Du
luth Farm Land company of Duluth.
The Northern Pacific is getting rid of
its lands rapidly. This is the third or
fourth large sale within as many months.
The land to be transferred to the Bos
ton & Duluth company was acquired by
the Northern Pacific when the road took
over the St. Paul & Duluth a year ago.
The tract lies in St. Louis and Carleton
counties. Much of it is stump land, but j
there are still standing quantities of!
cedar and hardwood. It Is understood
the Eoston & Duluth Land company will
pay about $400,000 for the tract.
Whe nthe Northern Pacific took over
the lands from the Duluth line, there
were still unsold 1,000,000 acres. There
has been so brisk a demand for these
lands that the Northern Pacific now has
only 250.000 acres left, and negotiations
for portions of this block are now in
progress.

Special to The Journal.
New . York, April 17. —P. '■"■'&■
: Bedford of the , Standard Oil
i company declared to-day that the re
port that- the New York Glucose company
had abandoned work on its plant at Wee
hawken was absolutely without founda
tion.
* "The work," he said, 'is progressing as
rapidly as possible and -we will be ready

I It is learned on good authority that the
i National Glucose company purposes to
wage a bitter warfare against the Glu
cose Sugar Refining company. Plans have
already been drawn up for the erection of
factories in a number of cities through
out the United States. The entire capital
stock of the New York Glucose company is
owned by the Standard Oil interests. The
plants at Weehawkenwill have a capacity
of 20,000 bushels daily.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Minn., April 17.—A. B. Wolvin
is to manage the United States Steel
company's vessels on the head of the
lakes and will have his headquarters in
Duluth.
This announcement has not been au
thoritatively made, but it is known here
that it is true. This means much for
Duluth, for it will transfer the headquar
ters of 112 vessels to this city from Cleve
land.
That city has always had the prestige
of being the central point for the lake
traffic, and the removal of such a fleet
from there to the head of the lakes at
one stroke means much to this port.
Mr. Wolvin is now in New York, where
the matter was settled.

were locust eggs has been confirmed by
the following letter:
G. L. Thorpe, Ada, Minn.— Dear Sir: The
eggs received are eggs of locusts,, very likely
those of the dangerous kind. They are all in
a healthy condition, showing the necessity
of plowing as soon as possible every bit of

A FOEMAN WORTHY OP HIS STEEL,
INSPECTION
OFFENCES
Outlook in the Congressional
Districts.
SOME NEW CANDIDATES
Effects of Reapportionment and
Primary Election Law.
SOME THE LAW WILL HELP
Views of the Washington Colony
on Minnesota ■
Politics.
.From The .Journal Bureau. Room *S, Post
Xiuiltiing, Washington.
Washington; April —The Minnesota
colony in Washington is discussing with
a great deal of interest the probaMe fate
of the present congressional delegation
under th? new primary election law. Two
additional congressmen are provided for.
bringing the delegation up from seven to
nine. Undoubtedly, each of • the seven
members now sitting will be a candidate
for renomination. The question is, how
will the primary law and the new district
i lines affect them?
It is conceded very generally that Taw
ney in the first district will be as strong
under the primary, law as under the old
delegate convention system, and perhaps
stronger, for is is recalled that while he
has made some enemies among the practi
cal politicians of the district, the rank and
file of the voters are friendly to him and
want to see him succeed himself. His re
nomination next year is regarded as being
certain.
McCleary in the second district is also
one of the fortunate ones. The primary
law. if it has made any change at all, has
given McCieary a stronger hold on his
position than he had before, which is say
ing a good deal. The redistricting has not
hurt him. He has nothing to desire, either
in the way of a district or of personal
and political popularity.
Congressman Heatwole belongs in the
same class with Tawney and McCleary in
having no serious opposition, and being
in a district where practically a unani
mous nomination under the primary sys
tem will be followed by a triumphant
election. There has been some question
whether Mr. Heatwole would want to be
returned to Washington after the fifty
seventh congress. This question he him
self has raised, but it is not thought that
he will step down and out at present. He
i 3 credited with having an ambition to be
governor, and this means that he must
keep in close touch with the public until
the time comes for him to make the gub
ernatorial venture. He would sacrifice
much were he to drop out of congress or
take the out-of-the-way position of public
printer. At least this is the opinion of his
Washington triends, even of those who are
most anxious to see him made public
printer. That office might bring his public
career to a close abruptly.
Congressmen Stevens and Morris are in
a class by themselves, so for as the nomi
nation next year is concerned. Neither
has as strong a hold upon his district as
that possessed by the three men just
named, but at the same time both will
probably be renominated. Stevens has
some opposition in St. Paul, originating
with certain selfish interests which want
to see him displaced in order that room
may be made for some other man. His
record in congress, however, which is of
a very flattering description, his strong
personal following in St. Paul, and his
abilities as an organizer, will probably
pull him through safely.
Judge Morris of Duluth will also be op
posed, and it is whispered that his chief
opponent will be young Mr. WinOom, at
present president of the moribund State
League .of Republican clubs. But the judge
has many elements of personal popularity
among the "plain people." Under the old
convention system his fate might be un
certain, but this will not be the case un
der the primary law. His chief opposers
In the district have been a lot of disap
pointed office seekers, would-be postmas
ters for the most part, and they were
scattered through the district in a way to
make his case look rather doubtful. But
the primary law will retire this gentry to
the rear rank. If Judgp Morris is not re
uomlnated next year it will be because
the people do not want him. The candi
dates will all come from St. Louis county,
which will dominate the new district at
every point. Should Judge Morris come
anywhere "breaking even" in that county
with his opponent, he will be renominated
by a large majority, for the rest of the
district will be his almost without a
struggle.
Congressman Fletcher of Minneapolis is
regarded down here as being in a claes
by himself. His record is distinctively
in his favor. From the point of view
of services rendered the party and dis
trict he is entitled to another term, but
the urban vote is notoriously unreliable
everywhere In the country. Everything
will depend upon who is to run against Mr.
Fletcher at the primaries. The talk of
Dr. Ames being a candidate is not so far
regarded down this way as being serious,
but one can't always tell .what a few
months or a year will bring forth in poli
tics. Mr. Fletcher will be a candidate
again, and with Dr. Ames as an opponent
the contest would be sufficiently lively
even for the most critical. With his
present experience and acquaintance, Mr.
Fletcher is now in position to accom
plish more in one term than a man like
Dr. Ames would accomplish in a lifetime.
This may sound extravagant, but it is
probably the exact truth.
The legislature, in its reapportionment
bfll. has made more trouble for Congress
man Eddy than for any other member of
the present delegation. It has taken a
part of his old seventh district and tied
it up with a lot of new counties to the
south. In these new counties are several
men who have congressional aspirations,
among them Speaker M. J. Dowling, Sen
ator Ed Young and possibly Lieutenant
Governor Lyndon A. Smith. Eddy will
easily control hia old counties, but this
will not give him enough votes to nomi
nate. He will in addition poll a very
respectable vote in the new counties; but
whether the total will be enough to land
the .nomination is yet a question. In a
two-party race Mr. Eddy's chances would
be considerably better than where three
or more are in the field. In the end it
may be that Senator Young may not come
into the race, and should the race be
between Eddy and Dowling it would be
a very pretty one.
The new sixth district is said to con
tain two republicans who are already
leading all the rest as congressional pos
sibilities, Senators Buckman and Brower.
The former is one of the shrewdest and
most active politicians in the state. At
the same time, he is daring, and has a
long and enviable record of victories won,
some of them under the most untoward
circumstancee. Senator Brower is very
popular among the younger men in the
party. He is a taking campaigner, makes
a telling speech, mixes well, and would
rally to his aid a very strong and en
thusiastic support. Other men are men
tioned as congressional possibilities
Ferris of Brainerd, Whitney of Wadena
and one or two others —but by common
consent it is said that Buckman and
Brower will be the leading contestants.
In the new ninth district Senator
Grindeland seems at this distance almost
certain to be the republican nominee. The
new primary law did more for him than it
did for Judge Morris. There is nobody
who thinks Grindeland could be nomi
nated in a delegate convention. In such
a tight S. G. Comstock, of Moorhead,
would probably win. But in a primary
election Grindeland is-believed to be thou
sands of votes stronger than any other
republican in the district. To begin with,
he Is a very prominent and active Luth
eran, which will give him practically
the eolid vote of that church. This will
be almost enough to nominate. In the
next place, his name is connected with
some of the most popular laws of recent
legislative sessions. The commission law,
which he fathered, has done more for the
upper counties of his district than any
one bit of state legislation enacted for
years. These counties for years were at
the mercy of the commission men and sold
goods at a bare profit, frequently at a
loss. Under the Grindeland law they are
making money.
It is thought that S. G. Comstock will
come into the race against Grindeland;
but opinion in Washington does not credit
him at present with enough strength to
come within hailing distance of victory.
At the same time, Comstock is much the
abler man of the two, and would make
much the better congressman.
Already it is assumed by the Minnesota
colony in Washington that Governor Van
Sant •vill not ask for a second term. On
the assumption that this is to be his
policy, the colony is talking Bob Evans,
Bob Dunn and Congressman McCleary as
the most available material for the guber-

NO BACKDOWN,
SAYS SHAFFER
The President of the Amalgamated Association
Wants to Make the Strike a Fight
to a Finish.
Board Is Likely to Give Him Authority to Call
Out the Men in AH the Steel
Trust Mills.
Pittsburg, April 17.—At the meeting of
the national advisory board and vice pres
idents of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel workers, to consider the
McKeesport strike, there was a full at
tendance of the national officers and trus
tees, a canvass of the members developed
a strong individual disposition to grant
President Shaffer the power to call out
the employes of the other miils. It was
the general impression that a strike would
be ordered. This seemed assured unless
concessions are made on both, sides.
The combine, it is said, will be asked to
vacate the position it has taken, or else
the strike will be declared.
Secretary John Jarrett of the American
Sheet Steal company placed before the
members of the Amalgamated association
the position his company has taken in the
fight.
N» Back-Down,
Pittsburg, April 17.—Before the meeting
of the national advisory board and vice
presidents of the Amalgamated association
called by President Shaffer to consider the
McKeesport strike, Mr. Shaffer said he
would ask for power to call out at his dis
cretion the employes of the American
Sheet Steel company, and then if he deems
it necessary, as a last resort, to extend
the strike order to all the plants of the
United States Steel corporation. He did
not hesitate to declare his intention of
carrying out his prerogative of calling out
the employes of the great combine if the
resolution was passed by the board. Said
he:
I could not yield the point demanded of me
at McKeesport, aud I would rather die fight
ing than lie down. The issue has been
drawn; there can be no backing down now.
We have received telegrams from our mem
bers in different sections of the country, in
dorsing the stand we bave taken, and saying
they will stand by us if it comes to a general
strike.
President Shaffer also wired President
Samuel Gompers of the "American Federa
tion of Labor explaining the situation at
length and asking for assistance if the
conflict came.
Association's Strength.
Fifty thousand is considered by labor
authorities to be a fair estimate of the

Of the total membership 15,000 are em

RIOT IN A CHURCH
Anti-Ritualist Makes a Disturbance at the Con
secration of Dr. Ingram as Bishop
of London.
London, April 17.—At the consecration of Right Rev. A. F. W. Ingram as bißhop
of London in Bow church to-day, John Kensit, the antiritualist, entered a protest
against the appointment. His remarks caused an uproar, and he was greeted with
cheers, hisses and shouts of "order," "shame," "no popery."'
Mr. Kensit accused Dr. Ingram of being unfaithful; he had helped law-breakers,
had encouraged clergymen, who, in defiance of the rubrics, elevated the host, offered
masses, and practiced the confession. He was prepared to appear in the courts and
prove that Dr. Ingram was unfit to hold the position of a bishop 6t the Protestaa*
church owing to his encouragement of these illegal Romish practices.
The friends and opponents of Mr. Kensit became so uproarous that the vicar
general tried to clear the church. Dr. Ingram appealed to his friends to listen
quietly. The vigar-general overruled the objections and the election of Dr. Ingram
was confirmed.
Disorderly scenes and hustling occurred outside the church and Mr. Keasit was
escorted home by a score of policemen and followed by a howling mob.
natorial nomination. McCleary seems to
be a favorite, although the two Bobs run
him a close race.
Representative Eddy called at the war
department to find out who has the dis
tribution of federal patronage in the Phil
ippines. Some of his constituents are ap
plicants for civil positions in (he islands,
and were under the impression that ap
pointments were to be made by the secre
tary of war. Mr. Eddy was informed that
these places are absolutely at the dispo
sal of the Taft commission, or whatever
government is to be established in the
archipelago after the first of July. Appli
cations for positions in the customs and
other branches of the civil service should
be sent to the Tatt commission, as it is a
waste of time to send them to the war de
partment.
Postmaster General Smith has modified
the rules relating to mail signs on street |
cars. Companies having mail contracts
will be required to comply with that sec

fine for displaying the sign "U. S. Mail" on
cars not actually engaged in carrying the
mails. He says, however, that companies
may supply portable signs to be displayed
on cars when the mail is being actually
transported.
At the department it fs said that no
steps will be taken to force the inter
