battle* i* not regarded a a the beat policy to promote an Anglo-American entente. Mr. Long, who had been discussing the proposals to establish national granaries, and had said that "after ail. and in last resorts, England's safety depended upon having a navy strong enough to meet any possible combination the nations could bring against her.” proceeded as follows: “I am glad of our improved relations with our American cousins, because I believe the true meaning of that increased frienliness is that the Americans have realized our blood relationship and have firmly resolved that if Great Britain is called on to face difficulties she shall not face them alone, but in alliance w ith her wealthy’ and vastly populous sister country, the republic of the United States. I am confident, seeing that the two countries are pursuing the same policy and have the same ends in view, they must be friends, firm and true to one another.” IRELAND AT THE VATICAN'. The \ rclihisliop Confers with Car* dinal Rampollo. ROME, Jan. 29.—Archbishop Ireland went to the Vatican to-day, where he had a conference with Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of state. Many cardinals and other high ecclesiastics visited the archbishop at the Hotel Bristol, where he is staying. In the course of an interview this afternoon, he declared that there was absolutely no foundation for the statement that h< had been • charged to represent •he United States at the forthcoming conference regarding the limitation of armaments. Tin- United States, he said, Id not yet nominated a delegate. The archbishop was very reserved in his replies to questions respecting religious problems in America, on the ground that it was necessary for him to wait for the Holy See to pass on such matters. Germans May Borrow Our Money. BERLIN, Jan. 29.—The government’s new departure in issuing a loan through a single bank, instead of directly to the public or througli a syndicate, is almost the exclusive topic in circles principally affected. In some quarters it is believed that the Deutsche Bank will be chosen as the government’s medium, because this Institution has the best connections with Great Britain and the United States, where some portions of the loan must be placed. Will Dominate the World. LONDON, Jan. 29.—Lieutenant J. C. Colwell. naval attache to the United States legation, at the banquet of the Engineers’ Institution in this city last evening, responded to the toast, "The Anglo-Saxon Race.” In an interesting and much-ap-plauded speech he predicted that the AngloSaxons would in time dominate the world, and that wherever they planted a colony it would remain.” M. Grecoff to Form a Ministry. SOFIA, Jan. 29.—Prince Ferdinand has intrusted to M. GrecofT the formation of a coalition Cabinet to succeed the Stoiloff Ministry, which resigned last week iri consequence of the dissatisfaction caused by the persistence of the premier in his schemes for assisting Macedonian autonomy, which his opponents consider antagonistic to Bulgarian aspirations for predominance in Macedonian affairs.

Snowstorms in Spain. MADRID, Jan. 29.—The country was visited by heavy snowstorms yesterday and many accidents are reported. CHAPLAIN CHIDWICK’S VIEWS. Say* W> Must Keep the Philippines Intll the People Are Civilized. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—An immense throng filled Carnegie Hall to-night to hear the benefit concert and the lecture by the Rev. John P. Chidwick. who was chaplain of the Maine, on “Our War with Strain, Its Causes and Results,” preceded by what he saw’ of the blowing up of the battle ship. The concert and .lecture was for the benefit of the Catholic reading room for young men, on Christopher street, the money received for admissions being applied to the reading room and to the establishment of a number of such place® throughout the city for the good of thirty thousand seafaring men. Gov. Roosevelt presided. Major General Roe, with his staff. Admirals Erben and Miller, Lieutenant Commander Delehanty, Adjutant General Avery D. Andrews, Colonel Treadwell, Commodore Philip, Captain Goodrich and hundreds of other officers were present. Governor Roosevelt made a brief address, after which Father Chidwick spoke for an hour, giving an interesting account of the sailing of the Maine for Havapa. the experiences in Havana and the blowing up of the ship. "Imperialism: What do they mean by imperialism?” said he, in the course of his address. "What does it mean, this departure from the settled policy of the Nation? Must it be that this policy, thought out by the founders of our government, is to be laid aside as useless now? God forbid that ever imperialism may find a foothold in our country. For the fathers knew what imperiaiisrn meant; they had learned it from England when they fought for liberty. They fought to establish the proposition and wrote it in blood that all good government rests with the will of the governed people. The. strength of our Nation is in the manhood and womanhood of its people. They have been developed out of liberty in hope and ambition. I believe that imperialism would be short lived in this country were it ever established. We would not be able to hold on to it. The whole tide of the war is towards republicanism. Shall we go back a step In the progress of the world? ”1 do not mean to arraign the government as if it were resj>onsible for such a policy. I firmly believe thut there is no greater American than President McKinley. The holding of the Philippines is not against the principles of our Nation. The holding of the islands is an absolute necessity. Would it not be to leave the inhabitants in bloodshed to withdraw the troops to-mor-row? Would we not be held up to the scorn of history if we should desert tht m now? We are bound to keep them. Whether wise or not, it is now a necessity. The treaty does not say that we are to hold them eternally, but the American people must not let them go back to Spain: but must hold them till this Nation can place them as they must be placet!, among the free peoples of the earth. The pressure upon the President to compel him to formulate a policy in regard to the Philippines is WTong. He cannot formulate a policy in regard to a people of whom we an ignorant. The islands must be kept like Cuba till wise statesmanship can decide What is the best policy toward them.” SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORKERS. Preparation* for Their Next Triennial International Meeting. ATLANTA. Ga„ Jan. 29.—The local committee having in charge the arrangements for the ninth triennial international Sunday school convention, which is to be held here in April next, met in the Y. M. C. A. parlors to-day and took up the work of caring for the big gathering and looking into other details. The convention will meet April 27, 28 and 29. and about 2,000 delegates from all parts of the United States, several South American countries. Canada. Mexico, England and possibly India, will be here. Several days before the convention the International lesson committee, of which Rev. John Potts, D. D., of Toronto, Ont„ is chairman, will meet in Atlanta to map out the Sunday school lewgone for the next six years. Possibly the most important work to come fce;ore the convention will lie the study of Chat Sunday school work can and should done in the newly-acquired territory of the United States In Cube. The Baptist, Methodist and other denominational Sunday school boards have already begun the establishment of Sunday school* in Porto

Rico, Cuba and even Hawaii. The international organization will take up this matter and these new acquisitions to our territory will undoubtedly be taken in the international field. If the Philippines are permanently acquired the w r ork will he carried on over there. A number of changes in Sunday school work will be discussed and some important changes inaugurated. The work among the colored population of the South will be given special attention. Mexico has only recently been taken into the field, and the work there must also be considered. There will be a number of negro delegates, and in view of this fact two or three of Atlanta's leading colored citizens have been placed on the local arrangements committee. At to-day's meeting it was decided to open the convention with a monster meeting and chorus of 10,000 voices at the Auditorium in Exposition Park. The entertainment committee, headed by H. H. Cabanoss, includes among its members Hon. Hoke Smith and ex-Governor Northern It has subcommittees in each of the 110 churches of Atlanta. Rev. E. R. Carter, pastor of a colored church with 5,000 members, is leading the colored people in the matter. The convention will represent thirty million Sunday school scholars and about 200,000 schools. The largest gathering in the history of the international association is expected. MONTANA’S NEW SOLON 1 MI'LTI-MILLIONAIRE CLARK A SILYERITE OF THE BRYAN STRIPE. He Is Also in Envor of ProtectiiiK Raw Materials—On the Fence ReKiirilP.K Expansion. HELENA, Mont., Jan. 29.—United States Senator-elect William A. Clark is a freesilver man and although a Democrat, is a protectionist as far as raw material is concerned. Mr. Clark was asked to-day to define his position on the financial question. “I stand,” he said, "for the restoration of silver to its former status before its demonetization in 1873 and at the ratio of 16 to 1. In the arrangement of the tariff schedules the producers of raw material, such as wool, lead, sugar and other products of the Western States should be amply and fully protected. The present tariff includes sufficient revenues to meet the expenses of the government and in the readjustment of the schedules, while it should be provided that the manufacturer should receive protection against cheap foreign labor, which is eminently proper and just, they should be content therewith and not seek an unfair advantage over the producers of raw material as has been the tendency heretofore.” Mr. Clark declined to say in specific terms whether he was an expansionist or not. ’’We may be well proud,” he added, "of having driven the Spaniard from the western hemisphere and from the Islands of the Pacific ocean and on having lifted the yoke of oppression from the necks of 12,0()0.CQ0 people, yet, elated with this marvelous success, we must pause to consider with the greatest deliberation the rights and welfare of the people who have been liberated and provide for them a just and appropriate temporary government, bearing in mind the danger of foreign diplomatic entanglements. It is an experiment that will put to the test the highest statesmanship, hut I believe we can safely rely upon the abilities and patriotism of the people of the United States to solve the problem with justice and satisfaction to all concerned. Judge Scott's Impeachment. LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 29.—The present week promises to be an exciting one in tiie Nebraska Legislature. Aside from the senatorial contest which to-night show’s little change, but which may reach a climax any day, there are the charges looking to the impeachment of District Judge Scott, of Omaha, to be dealt with, as well as two contest cases from Fillmore county, and the possible imprisonment of County Juage Skipton for refusing to bring in ballots bearing on the contest. The impeachment proceedings against Judge Scott for tlie time being excite more interest even than the senatorial struggle. Speaker Clark is expected to lay the document before the House when it is convened at noon tomorrow. NEWS IN SUNDAY’S JOURNAL Remnue of Chief Events Printed in Che Issue of Jan. 2!>.

ONE TOO MANY WIVES WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT OF KOKOMO CONFESSES TO BIGAMY. Say* He Married Wife No. 2 Thinking; He Was Free from No. I—Old Soldier'* Belated Pen*ion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Jan. 29.—John S. Peters, a well-known resident of this city, is in trouble, confessing the charge that he has one too many wives. The plurality of wives was brought to light Saturday in an aplication by the husband for a divorce from wife No. 1, who is a resident of Vigo county, near Terre Haute. Peters was in court with both wives Saturday evening, but failed to get the divorce. Judge Mount dismissed the case. Twenty-four years ago Mr. Peters was married to Maggie J. Peters in Vigo county, but after eleven months of wedded life the couple separated, neither getting a divorce. Six years later Mr. Peters, laboring under the mistaken impression that two years’ separation was in itself a divorce, married a Champaign county (Illinois) girl, with whom he is now living, they being the parents of seven children. The first wife has a daughter eighteen years of age. Wife No. 1 never remarried. It was not until a few days ago that Peters learned he was a bigamist. He immediately- applied for a divorce from No. 1, but on the day set for hearing she appeared in court with an attorney to resist the petition. She wants alimony. and declares she will have it or prosecute Peters for bigamy. She won in the preliminary skirmish. Judge Mount dismissed the divorce action, and now the husband is preparing to defend himself on the bigamy charge. lackey’ll Sliced Horne Sale. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
