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. . "

Nnw Yonrr , Juno 23. 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. It Is
bought this would Induce the judge to stop
he case where it is.

any mnmber or assembly to sell or give away
malt or snlritous Honors at any meeting or
entertainment of the order under pain ot
six months suspension from the order. The
xrtlcle upon co-operation was adopted nnan-
moimly. It provides for the creation and
disbursement of a fund tn aid eo-onerativo
enterprises. The now constitution gives the

Cnr.TE , Neb. , June 23. [ 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 :

Geneial Morrow will accompany them , ant
will speak on thn Fourth. General Cowln

some time past , was on a "high lonesome , '
and after getting t > o full that even the pro
prietor of the saloon could no longer endun
him , asked the city marshal , John Daugh-
erty , to take him away. Allen was placei
in the cooler about 10 o'clock p. in. , but th
marshal thought he would bo e.isy with him
so he left the jail door unlocked , giving liln
n chance to escape. Ho staid In jail til
about 1 o'clock a. in. Tuesday , then got out

where ho Intended Inquiring for -\\OIK
It seems fhat about thu same tlmi
the marshal Happened to com
up along behind him on hi
way home. 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

of Indiana , arrived here on Saturday and
ivcnt to Alaska on the Olympia last night.
In an Interview ho said it was a mistaken
Idea that the American government would
; lese Behrlng sea to foreign vessels. In
fact , he did not see how It could legally ac
compllsh It. While tire trouble was engen
dered by a commercial'company , and Presi
dent Cleveland wastawaro of this fact , n
commission would bo appointed to Inquire
Into the fisheries question. Senator Veer
hees thought the question would form
nn Isbuo In the next presidential cam
paign , and Elaine's action In the
eastern fisheries dispute might cost him the
nomination. Without doubt Blalnn would
bo the presidential candidate at the next
election. Yoorhors thought Cleveland. If
nominated , would secure the election. The
only thing that could losn the election foi
Cleveland was the formation of a third party ,
and Yoorhees was alarmed at the strength of
Henry George In Now York and also of Dr
Mcdh nu , who controlled the Catholic vote ,
But there was a probability at the last mo
ment , ho thought , of throwing all this
strength to the democratic party.
