KINDLY THANKING our friends for

of the gravest character have been preferred against Archbishop Corrigan by a brother prelate. He is accused by Archbishop Ireland of having engaged in an unlawful conspiracy to weaken or undo the effect of the pope's decisions in respect to church matters in America, and of having had recourse to methods unbecoming a bishop, designed to discredit and disgrace Archbishop Ireland and Mgr. Satolli, the papal delegate to America. These charges, duly formulated, are now on their way to Rome, where they will be presented to the highest tribunal 111 the Catholic church.

KfTeet of

their Liberal Patronage, we wish to

say that we shall try more than ever

to give you the best of everything

that pertains to our business.

&

Decision.

That tribunal has power to pass upon the accusations and to fix the punishment of the accused if thev be sustained. The whole world will eagerly await the decision, for both prelates, the accuser and the accused, lmve long filled the most conspicuous positions in the American hierarchy. '1 hendifferences of opinion have been matter of public rumor for years. Each has verv generally been considered as an object of the pope's favorable regard in respect of the new American cardinalate which it is said will be conferred at the approaching jubilee. If Archbishop Corrigan be found guilty as charged his fate as well as the future of the great province of New York, over which he has so long presided, will become the object of eager surmise. Should the charges fail, the consequences can scarcely be less serioils to Archbishop Ireland. Nor will the consequences in either case be limited to the provinces of New York and St. Paul.

Of I.OIIIf fetAlldlllg.

The differences between Archbishop ulreland and Archbishop Corrigan are pof long standing. They date back to the time when the prelate of ht. Paul took active part with Cardinal (Jibbons in antagonizing Archbishop Corrigan's representations to tl\e Vatican on the question of excommunicating the Knights of Laoor. This was about, five years ago, and since that time Archbishop

Corrigan has scarcely made a pretense of perfect accord with cither Cardinal (jibbons or Archbishop Ireland. Nor have these prelates taken pains to profess unreserved friendship 4or his grace of New York. Latterly the difference has been accentuated by the disputes over Cahenslyism and more especially over Archbishop Ireland's famous "l''aribault plan" of education. IJuring this latter phase of the quarrel nearly the whole Roman Catholic church in America has been divided between the Corrigan camp and the Ireland camp.

The partners of Archbishop Corrigan in the conspiracy now alleged arc priests of his immediate entourage, notably Father Michael Joseph Lavelle,

rector of St. Patrick's cathedral, who is expressly named in the charges as a conspirator, and possibly Father Gerardo Ferante, Archbishop Corrigan's Italian secretary.

If the charges have been interpreted aright. Archbishop Corrigan's accusers will try to prove the existence of a conspiracy, of which New York is the center, and which extends in numerous ramifications throughout America. France and Italy. At a meeting held in New York last. October, at which Mgr. Satolli was present, peace was thought to have been established between Archbishops Corrigan and Ireland, but the apparent triumph of Archbishop Ireland is said to have rekindled the old bittei ness between the two priests.

ICvldenees of the Plot.

The secular

press

began to teem with

lot. tors containing damaging statements about Archbishop Ireland, which are said to have emanated from Archbishop Cornwall friends. When Dr Melilvnn was restored bv Mgr. Satolli a few davs ago the storm of indignation reached its climax. The daily papers in all parts of the country grave circulation to the most unreserved criticisms and inuendocs bearing with no light touch upon Archbishop Ireland and Mgr. Satolli. I pon such evidence as this Archbishop Ireland arrived at the conclusion that he and Mgr. Satolli were ihe target of a secret, skillful and far-reaching propaganda

Among the. evidences of the supposed conspiracy was the discovery of an attempt made by Archbishop Corrigan to have published in carefully selected papers throughout the west an article written bv himself in which an attempt was made to belittle the aims of Mgr. Satolli and Archbishop Ireland in regard to tue school question. There were appeals to the various addresses to use such influences as they have to protest against the "unfortunate influence obtained by Archbishop Ireland at Rome" and against Mgr. Satolli's "interference IU American Catholic affairs" which is described as "offensive and annoying.

I'ope l,eo Investigating*.

ROMK, Jan. i). 'Ihe Vatican has caused an inquiry to be made into the motives and the extent of the opposition to the Satolli mission. The pope holds absolutely t" Ins policy that ecclesiastical affairs in the United States shall develop themselves along moderate lines and in a spirit of harmony with the institutions of the United States. 1' rom official sources it is learned that all the archbishops who took part the New York conference have afhrined the fourteen scholastic proposals winch Mgr. Satolli placed before them in the lame of the pope.

AT DEATH'S DOOR.

Ex-Secrotary of State Blaine's Condition Alarm! nar.

HE SUFFERS A DANGEROUS RELTO

Threo Sinking Spell, on Sunday, in One of "Which It WHS Thought the Knd littd Couie—riiyfticiani! Constantly at Ills Side,

At.I. HOI'E ABANDONED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Mr. lilaine is ncaring death. His life is passing slowly and peacefully away between spells of sleeping, which is another name for a state of coma. When the end comes, and it cannot be far off, it will be a gradual failing asleep. It is doubtful if he ever again recognizes those who surround him, for his waking intervals are only fitful gleams of consciousness. For the last thirty-six hours everything has led up to this ending of the great statesman's career. The illness of three months duration has now reached the point where the physicians issue frequent bulletins and do not leave his bedside for a moment. While their statements make comparisons which at certain hours may show an improved condition, there is absolutely no hope. It has been an unequal contest from the beginning, and only loving care and medical skill have enabled Mr. Blaine to retain his vitality so long.

The .Midnight Bulletin.

At midnight the doctors issued the following bulletin: "Mr. Blaine's condition 1ms been favorable during the afternoon. He-is now, at midnight. Bleeping quietly and shows a fuir degree of Btrength. The probabilities are that no change for the worse will take place during the night, although no positive assurance can be given on this point. As compared with Saturday night and Sunday morning lie is hotter."

Following is the bulletin that was issued at noon. "Saturday Mr. Blaine lost strength, but Saturday night his weakness became more decided for a few hours and lie seemed in danger of a speedy termination. Since morning, however, ho is somewhat stronger, and at the present moment BhowB more decided evidences of rallying. But no great hope can be felt unless the improvement shall become more marked than at present and continued for some hours. Ills present symptoms are connected with an irregular and feeble action of the heart."

Hli Condition Alarming:.

WASHINGTON', Jan. 9. The Associated Press correspondent furnished the following: "It was about miclntglit Saturday when Mr. Blaine's condition became so alarming that the trained nurse who is constantly at his bedside had Dr. Johnston aroused and hurriedly summered. Dr. Johnston arrived at 1 o'clock and found Mr. Blaine sinking rapidly, ind he worked over him for some time before sig/is of auv recovery became evident. His condition was so alarming that the family fearfully koked for the end before dawn and remained awake and within immediate call ot his bedside all night. The powerful heart restoratives applied by the doctors, which ore stated to have been the most potent known to medical science, were successful in rallyinp and making more steady ihe feeble and titful pulsations o! the heart, so that by the time the church-goers passed the family residence on Lafayette square Mr. lilaiue's condition was a shade better.

Physicians Fear to Lenvi.

"He was still, however, so weak and prostrated that the doctors did not dare to leave him, at the same time fearing that another attack and tho final summons might come at any moment. At 7 o'clock Dr. Hyatt, the other physician, was summoned. At 8 o'clock Dr. Johnston left the house and hurried through the Lafayette park on his way*to breakfast at his homo, a few blocks away. To a reporter who intercepted him Dr. Johnston said that Mr. Blaine at that hour was in a really dangerous condition. "Dr. Johnston returned to Mr. Blaine's residence shortly before 10 o'clock, and soon afterwards Dr. Hyatt left for breakfast, it being the intention of th* doctors that unless there should be an unexpected display of strength on the part of tho sick man one or the other of them should remain with him constantly throughout the day. Dr. Hyatt on his wav home said that Mr. Blaine had rallied somewhat since early morning and that his system responded more freely than it had heretofore to the remedies administered. They had revived him to some extent and ihe action of ihe heart was better.

Three Sinking Spells.

"It is ascertained that there were three distinct relapses during the night. At 1 a m., when he was first seized with heart failure, his physicians really thought the eud had come. But by the aid of stimulants, chafing and the usual accessories he rallied. He soon after, however, relapsed into a stupor. Suddenly at 5 o'clock this morning he opeued his eyes, which were as oleur as they ever were, and seclug his physician at his side exclaimed: 'Doctor, I am plad you have come.' "Ihe tones of his voice were remarkably clear and strong for a man almost in extremis. Five minutes later he sank again into a stupor and thirty minutes later still ho had anothor attack of heart failure. Strange to relate, he again rallied, only to be seized the third time threo hours later."

A personal friend of Mr. lilaine and one who has access to what happens in the sick room said Sunday afternoon: "Mr, Blaine has not had a connected thought for thirty days past The heart, while nourishing other organs, has not been strong enough to furnish the necessary blood for the brain. Hence, it is that, like an ancient pine, Mr. Blaine has been slowly perishing at the top. Hut Mr. Blame dies like a philosopher at last, distasteful as tho subject of death has been to him in other and stronger davs. A few weeks ago he called his family about him and calmly told them that he did not expect to rccovcr. He was in full possession of his mental faculties and weut over his affairs in detail and said to each of his children all that ho had to say. In tlie intervening period the members of the family have gradually become reconciled to the end which is impending.

Tho Faithful Wife.

"NYhen the history is written of Mr. Blaine illness the touching devotion of the wife and mother will be one of its interesting chapters. No one except the intimates of the family are able to appreciate her fidelity and watchfulness I and courage. Mrs. Blaine has remained at the bedside of her husband almost unremittingly, watching every indication of change and aiding promptly in every case of emergency. Through all the stages of despondency and grief which

Mr. Blaine has passed of late she has been at his side to cheer and soothe aud strengthen him." V':..

His Hellglous

In view of the conflicting statements which have been made concerning Mr. Blaine's religious views the statement that Ilev. Dr. I. S. Hamlin, pastor of the Presbj'tenan Church of the Covenant, was called to the bedside of the dying man has more than usual interest. At0 o'clock Sunday morning, when the family feared that Mr. Blaine was dying, a messenger was sent to Rev. Dr. Hamlin, who weut to the house almost immediately, arriving there at 7 o'clock, lie entered the bick

room and prayed by Mr. Blaine's side. Mr. Blaine rented a pew at the Church of the Covenant, and it was the only church he had attended since his return to Washington this autumn. He visited it on one occasion only. Dr. Hamlin visited the house again later in the day.

Desultory OlncusKlon of tho Jiinrstntln« MIKI Immigration Measure.

\Y A SITING ton, Jan. SI.—The two days assigned for the consideration of tiie bills as to quarantine and as to suspending immigration proved to be too short a time for the disposal of even the first of these measures. A vote might have been reached on the quarantine bill Saturday had not Senator White (La.) avowed his purpose to prevent it: nor would he give his consent to have the final vote taken to-day, inasmuch as he had leiuned that several gentlemen from Xew Orleans were now on their way to Washington to present their views in opposition to the measure.

Among the amendments to the quarantine bill that were, agreed to was one substituting the. words ''other contagious or infections disease" for the words "yellow fever," and one making an appropriation of SI,000,000 to be at the disposal of the president to meet exegencies in the execution of the provision of the law.

After some informal interchange of views an agreement was reached that the special order as to the bills on the subjeot of quarantine and immigration shall be continued till Monday and that tho anti-option bill shall be resumed Tuesday.

The 1 alter family occupied three rooms on the third floor. Harris goes to work at 7 o'clock, lie arose shortly after 0, leaving his wife and child in bed, and taking the scuttle in one hand and a lighted lamp in the other Ltarted downstairs to the cellar for coal. The house was closed at the time, as the Duffy family was yet in bed. Harris thought he recognized a smell of gas, but was not alarmed, not thinking of any danger. He opened the cellar door and started slowly down the steps, trying to shield the lamp for fear that a stronger gust of icy air rushing up the stairs into the warmer atmosphere above might blow out the light. Harris reached the bottom of the step, when suddenly the very air seemed turned to lire, which, for a moment, blinded him and caused intense pain. At the same time he felt himself caught up and hurled half way up the steps, while his lighted lamp was shattered against a post.

The neighborhood was shaken then by the terrific explosion, and the few persons on the st reet saw the house loiter for a moment, then the roof fall in, followed by the right wall. The upper floor was crushed in and fell, carrying it to the first, which held, and this alone saved Harris* life. Meanwhile the harvest of death had been awful, for the Duffy family was wiped out of existence, save the young son, and he may die. The second floor, the brick wall and the roof simply crushed the ceiling as though it was pa-
