OMAHA EAiiJY ) BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR OMAHA. WEDNESDAY MOKNING. JUNE 29 ; 1887. NUMBER NO KUiNCiO FOR AMERICA , Eoportcd Negotiations for a Papal Ambassa dor at Washington Contradicted. WHAT CATHOLIC LEADERS SAY Cardinal OtbbonR Hays the Holy See llocs Not Entertain Such nn In tention The Cause or tlio Rumor * McGlynn'n Htatntnont Dcnlnl. BAI.TIMOIIK , Md. , Juno 21 ISpcclal Tele gram to the BKE. ] Of nil the utterances made by Dr. McGlynn In his statement to the press at Buffalo last Friday , none at tracted more general attention than that nbout the establishment of n papal nuncio nt Washington. Dr. McGlynn professed to sny * | pn the highest authority" that the Roman church government was desirous of having n minister from the pope accredited to nnd re ceived nt Washington ; that such minister would be nn archbishop. 0110 of the ' 'Italian " he It "whoso would ring , as put , presence bo a fruitful source of corruption and en slavement lor the Catholic church In this country. " For thu purpose of ascer taining positively whether any such proposition was under consideration nt Koine , your correspondent obtained an audience with Cardinal Gibbons yesterday , Though greatly averse to saying anytlilns for publication , he nt last authorized title statement to be made on his authority tin highest in the Honiau Catholic church In the United Stales : "First , the holy see has up to this mo ment expiessed no Intention of sending D nuncio to this country , and , second , tin holy sea does not even entertain , such an I mention. " The cxp licit nnd absolute character of thl. denial shows that either Dr. McGlynn hat been grossly misinformed or else has nils apprehended certain Incidents that occurred a considerable time ago at the white house , but which Is not generally known. This matter was explained to your correspondent In Washington this morning by a well- known Catholic gentleman , who Is thor oughly informed nbout It , ns he Is nbout nearly everything else connected with the Catholic church In this country , it Is this : A Catholic prelate , who Is very far from being considered a retnrseiitntivo man 01 the church , called on President Clwolam : and broached the question of having r pupal ambassador nt Washington. He die this entirely on his own responsibility and as marly ns can be ascertained , without even the knowledge , direction or sanct'on ' of any other person than himself , nnd cer tainly without that of the Icadeis of thu ohuich hdroor abroad. In reply to his re marks the president informed him that II any such proposition ns that wns to bo made It must bn submitted by recognized heads o : the church hero-cither Cardinal Gibbons the archblshoi ) of New York , 01 some on < fully qualified tonpank authoritatively nnd it a representative capacity on the subject. This ended the discussion at thn time and I lias never ucen renewed nor Is it at all likolj it will bo. My informant added : "When the states of the church were recognized as a political bodv. with the pope ns torn poral ruler , the United States did have i minister nt Rome. But this diplomatic rola tlou was discontinued when the Italian government ernmont established Its seat of authority Ir the Eternal City. Kver since then this gov ernment has declined to recognUe the tern poral authority of the pope. No formal at tempt has ever been made to havn these dip lomatic relations resumed , nor Is It In tin Veast piobable that such nn effort will b. made. There is every reason to think tha the appointment of a nuncio would not b < acceptable to the civil authorities of tin United States , nor Is It desired bv the cplsco Date of the country. You have perhaps seui It stated that Ulnhop Dwenger or For Wayne , Is in favor ot such diplomatic cstab llnhmcnt. This Is not true. lie and one o two other bishops , 1 believe , did once sue Kust that for the convenience of the chuicl bore It would bo desirable to have some oni to act simply as n medium of communicatioi between the propaganda and bishop nn < clergy hero on matters ot rontiover y. Bu oven this was not approved by his colleagues In fact he blood practically alone among tin seven tv or more archbishops nnd bishops o the country In his advocntlon of thn menx uie. The American hierarchy Is ni-alnst nn : change In the present plan of government particularly the establishment of a nuncli at Washlgton. Cardinal Gibbous Is oppose * to It stronifly , nnd so nro all the other lendlni prelates of the country , Including Archblshn ] Corrlgan , of New York , who expressed hi opposition to It when In Homo morn than dozen yeais ago. Since then I do not thin' the matter has been seriously considered By those enjoying the confidence of th cardinal I have heard It stated that the sut Jcct was not even alluded to durlug hi recent sojourn In Koine. .

In an cxtrn this evening , the Mall nnd Express says it Is be lieved that Jnke Sharp Is dying. Thercason ho did not testify in his own behalf this afternoon , ns wns conli'lontly expected bv every one right along , was because his physi cian expressed the opinion that the strain of n rigid cross-examination , ntr. , would result In his death. A reporter subsequently learned that the phvsiclnn Is of the opinion that Sharp cannot live more than n week or ten days at least Unauo excitement would kill him at once , owing to heart trouble. The paper nsserts thnt a scheme Is under consid eration now to lake the case out of the hands of the jurv by bringing Judto Barrett p cer tificate from tlio physician to the effect tint Sharp would In all probability drop dead In the court room when the jury brought the r'erdlct ln.no matter what It was.

[ Special to the BEE. I Everything Is now In readiness for he opening of the assembly to-morrow. The weather Is all that could bo asked , and the crounds are In first class shap < > . Thegtounds resent \ cry near the same appearance that .hoy did last year , only they are more beau- If nl. The tents are better arianged in the hady nooks and places where shade can be had , and placed In a much more convenient way than they were last year. Mr. Water man has spared neither pains nor exertions o get them In the most desirable places , and ust where people wanted them. He has been putting them up for the past ten da > s , md had them taxen up and put down some iwo or three times , In order that all may be icconnnodated and suited. There are now some & 0 tents up on the grounds , a good many large tamlly tents , which are quite con spicuous. The Congregational , lawyers' and editors' headquarters present a splendid ap pearance. The do/en or more cottages which have been put up are very line and attractive , and show the people what can bo done In the future. Every arrangement that Is possible ha : been made , so that the people can be accom modated. People are alreadv commencing tc arrive on the grounds and by to-morrow af ternoon there will be thousands upon the erounds. The Shubert quartette will give their hrst concert on Wednesday evening. Everyone should manage to attend , It pos sible , us this Is one of thu llncst musical com panies in the country. They are sookon ot very highly by the press wherever they ha > e appeared. The dining hall , under the man agement ot J. D. F. Head , who has lor n stewaid Mr. Bertram , who tor twoiyeais had charge of the dining department at Chau- tautiua , N. Y. , will undoubtedly give the \ery best satisfaction. Dr. Dunning will ar rive to-morrow with the lost of the workers. The prospects aio now that there will be twice as many people on the grounds than there were last year. The new electric light is alieady up and will be in working shape to-nigiit. It will bo quite an attraction for the reason that there will bo sixteen arc lights ot 2OOC caudle power. They will bo placed at con venient points , rommcning at the road as you turn to go toward the assembly grounds , down to the bridge and M > on to the grounds , so that every part of the grounds will be lighted by tlio dllferont lUhts. The Twenty first Infantry band , consisting of twenty-twt pieces , will be on the grounds July 1 anc stay until the 6th or 7th. It Is one of the linest bands In the west , and will bn quite ai attraction , as two conceits will be given cacl : day , and a good deal mor * on the Fourth , Geneial Morrow will accompany them , ant will speak on thn Fourth.

Allen , thinking that th marshal was after him again , began t threaten , and did finally turn upon him and with a laruo knife , stabbed Daugherty In tin top of the head , breaking about two Inche of the blade off In the skull. Doctors wer summoned and the blade extracted after i portion of the skull had been removed. It 1 a serious and probably fatal wound , althougl the patient rests easy at present.
