46th St. NLW YORK IX DEFENCE OF IK I. IBS. Cardinal Gibbons Says' Judge Them by Brethren Here. TELLS OF ORDERS IN BALTIMORE.

TELEGBATH TO THE TRIBUNE.) Baltimore, Dec. Cardinal Gibbons preached at the Cathedral to-day, saying in part: Much has bean and written in the last two years the Philippines They have uraised end abused in turn. Perhaps the best way to Judge of those much maligned men in the Far East is to consider the character of their consecrated brethren and sisters here in Baltimore This investigation will give an opportunity of ascertaining: how far the religious i men and women of this city are imitating the example of Christ in the sacred cause of charity ana nui ni is an old and a true saying that one of the world knows little to how the other half lives. This truth eminently applies to o1 le men and women of our city. How thousands of our fellow citizens th.

ot our religious men and women without i ing any knowledge of the inmates of those institutions. How many who get glimpses of our rt SSS I as they walk in the streets have an Wea of the private lives, except what they gather from novels and prejudiced publications? Let us see who are these religious men and women, and what is the spirit which a mat them. Let us lift the veil and rive the public an im-ight into the private life of these devoted Fervants of God. Their example will cheer and inspire. They consecrate themselves to God by means of religion, self-denial and good works.

They are chiei in teaching and in various works of and benevolence. There are in the diocese a 1 timore upward of 2.000 pupils under tlieir charge who do not cost a cent to the city and State. The annual expense of teaching each pupil to PUblic schools is about if we add the outlay on school buildings and furniture, the per capita i cost of school children amounts to $25. equen tly our religious teachers save the State fcOO.OOO a year. They impart to their pupils a sound secular and Christian education, so that they are brought to be enlightened citizens as well as hris- There is no phase of human misery or suffering for which our religious community does not provide some remedy or alleviation, nave in LOU cltv an infant asylum, under charge of bisters of "Charity, for the shelter of helpless who have been cruelly abandoned by their unnatural parents or have been bereft of parental protscaqn in the mysterious dispensation of Providence before they were capable of knowing a mother love.

These little waifs, floating on the waters of the Vile are rescued by one of the daughters of tne great King from temporal and spiritual death, and are tenderly raised by thepe consecrated virgins, who become nursing mother? to them. As the Catholic Church in Baltimore provides a home for those who are the threshold of life, so does she secure a retreat- for those who are in the shadow of death. From the cradle to the grave she is a provident mother. She rocks her children the cradle of infancy and she lulls them to sleep on the couch of death. The Little Sisters of the Poor have charge of an asylum where aged men and women find at the same time a refuge from storms of life and a novitiate to prepare them lor happy eternity.

In this asylum are welcomed not only members of the Catholic taith. but also those of other forms of worship and of (liristianitv. and even those who profess no faith at all. St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys contains from five hundred to six hundred youths, ranging from eight to ten years of age.

They are carefully instructed in the elements of Christian secular education, and are we'! provided and grounded in moral training. After they attain a certain age they are transferred to St. James's Home for Boys. 1 regard this home as one of the most admirable institutions of its kind in the country, and one Of which our city may well be proud. So high is the standard of these boys for intelligence, honesty diligence: so excellent is their reputation jobs the business men of the community, that they receive Immediate employment as soon as they are established in the home.

There not an idle boy in that home, and the brothers in charge are scarcely able to meet the demands upon them: We have in this city similar institutions for the care of female orphans. St. Mary's Orphan Asylum, at Roland Park, under the supervision of Sisters of Charity, is a credit to the diocese. The Catholic Church in this city has sisters of various orders in charge of hospitals for the treatment of every form of disease, where patients are tenderly nursed by these devoted women, and attended "by skilful physicians. She sends her daughters of charity and of mercy to the battlefield, and even to the leper stricken settlement.

And when they come to this abode of death they can say with Dante, "All ye who enter here leave ye hope behind." Let us to-day ask our Heavenly Father that He continue to enrich the garden of the Church with these delicious flowers of prayer and charity. Let us beseech Him to inspire His consecrated servants with a sense or their sublime vocation, so that with renewed constancy they may carry on their noble mission in the cause of religion and charity.

I have the satisfaction of feeling that on one side I have the assistance of the Holy See in this mission, while on the other hand I know that these ideas were shared by the late President McKinley and are shared by his worthy successor.

Paris, Pec. The violent scenes in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday which marked the cloae of the session are followed to-day by a lively diaeussion of the incidents in Parliamentary and official circles. A portion of the press treats the affair humorously as indicative of the excitability of the parties concerned. The most serious journals, however, comment In regretful tone on the incident. The account published by the "Matin" presents a veritable pugilistic encounter, and even the "Journal OfficieJ' records an exchange or mows mw bers of the Chamber In an interview M.

Syveton defends the course he' took yesterday, and declares that Minister Valle was the aggressor, and asserts that the affair will not end until meeting has occurred on the field of honor between him and the minister. Concerning the summoning of a platoon of soldiers, M. Syveton says: "Let the majority beware of this precedent. When the time arrives for soldiers to be introduced into the Chamber to intimidate the representatives of the people a dangerous state of affairs exists. If force is to rule, then the.

majority will find itself before long confronted with SrvetOO has chosen the Marquis tie Dion and M. Guyotte de Villeneuve as his seconds to meet the seconds appointed by Minister Valle As a preliminary to a meeting, however, it must be decided who was the aggressor and whether the offence comes within the code of honor. Deputy Syvetort's personal offence against Minister Valle consists in calling him a liar, while the minister's personal offence consists of having called M. Syveton a "wretch." A further complication is pointed out by the "Figaro." which says that duelling is practically interdicted amonfr officials in authority, and to engage in a duel is tantamount to the giving up of his portfolio by an official. The general belief is that the seconds will determine that no cause for a duel Deputy Coutant says that as the Chamber voted his expulsion and voted confidence in the government, he will appeal to his constituents for vindication.

Another Contention Between England and Venezuela. GREAT BRITAIN WILL NOT ARBITRATE. Washington, Dec. ln Venezuela's "Yellow Book" for 1901, a copy of which has been received in Washington recently from the Foreign Office at Caracas, are the exchanges between the London and Caracas governments last year in regard to the ownership of Patos Island, which haK been in dispute between the two countries for many years. Significance attaches to this correspondence in view of the approaching crisis between Venezuela and Great Britain, as it is not improbable that in the settlement of the claims of British and German citizens against Venezuela the.

Patos dispute will also involved. Reopening of the Patos question was caused by the action of the Venezuelan gunboat Augusto in January, 1901, in capturing certain British subjects on the island. When the Caracas authorities were called to account by the London Foreign Office the former replied by renewing their long standing claim ta Patos, and a diplomatic controversy extending throughout the year was the result. Venezuela bases her claims to the island on its proximity to the coast of Guiarla, from which it iB distant only three miles, claiming that it is a tenet of international law that a country commands waters within a marine league of its coast; that the international lawinstitute has denned the territorial Bea as six miles, whereas the island of Patoa is more than ten miles from Trinidad, thr nearest British possession. Further, that the treaty of March, 1545, "explicitly contirms the title of Venezuela over all the islands near her coast which were under the dominion of Spain in the initiative period of Venezuelan independence." In support of this contention the Venezuelan authorities produce a letter from the royal Spanish Minister for State in 1873, in which he denies that royal sanction ever was given to the concession alleged to have been ma.de to the Ayuntamiento of Trinidad by the Governor of Patos, Huevos and Monos.

Great Britain, through her charge d'affaires at Caracas, and later through her Minister, advanced the contention that when she conquered the Island of Trinidad in 1797 sovereignty over Patos also was obtained, and so recognized by the Madrid Government: that Patos has remained in the peaceful possession of Great Britain for more than a century, during seventy years of which time Venezuela advanced no counter claim, and that the official map of Codazzi colors the island of Patos the same as Trinidad, indicating that both belong to the same country. To this last contention Venezuela replied by stating that the map of Codazzi w.as so old as to make it impossible to distinguish the various colors, and produced other maps by the same author which place Patos as belonging to Venezuela. Being unable to agree on even the minor points of the controversy, the British Minister, near the close of last year, informed the Venezuelan Foreign Office that he would make no further representations in the matter, as there was nothing to be gained in continuing the correspondence. It is understood that President Castro will ask that the question be settled by arbitration, a proposition to which the British Government hardly accede, in view of its contention that the ownership of Patos is so clearly British as not to furnish a suitable subject for arbitration.

Friendly Representations Made to the French Government. Paris. Dec. Ambassador Porter and the British Ambassador, Sir Edmund Monson, have now put into execution their friendly representations to the French Government with a view to securing a reconsideration of the case of the rssnlnmint Fathers who have been included among the religious orders to be expelled from France. The representations were submitted on behalf of the English and Americans attending St.

Joseph's Church, Is conducted by the Passionists. As the order an English one, it was recognized that representations concerning its rights must erne solely from the British officials. Ambassador Porter's representation was mainly verbal, and pointed out the convenience of the church to Americans, and the Ambassador exprtssed a that this convenience would not be Interrupted. It is stated from an authoritative source that Ambassador Porter'B representation was in DO sense a protest, or an assertion of international right, as It is fully recognized that the government's action toward the congregations is a question of domestic policy, ami the matter will not be referred to Washingtun, in the case when international right is Involve' l. On the contrary, representations of a conciliatory nature have developed a personal desire on the part of the government officials to yield in the matter, but it is felt that it Is difficult for the government to act at the present stage, inasmuch as the entire question of the congregations has been submitted to the Chamber of Deputies.

It is also pointed out by the French officials that an exception in this case would give foreign religious orders privileges which are not allowed to the French orders. It is believed that the final determination of the question rests with the Chamber. POLICE SUSPECT A MURDER. Old Woman Found in Vermont Mill Canal Strangled to Death. Bellows Falls, Dec.

He was taken to Bellevue Hospital in a cab. which he half wrecked before it got there. He maid was Dr. E. C.

Adamson, recently of Xo. SO East Twenty-second-st. He had been at the hotel as a guest since Friday. The doctor is said to be of a wealthy Atlanta family. Though many said he had been acting strangely for some says, he was put in the alcoholic ward.

The Trventy-second-st. house is a boarding place kept by J. J. Mills. Mr.

and Mrs. Mills said last night that the doctor was a man of Independent means and culture and refinement. He was once head of a sanatorium for nervous people, and was a specialist in nervous diseases, they declared. He, they asserted, first showed symptoms of a disordered mind three weeks ago. Mr.

Mills consulted a lawyer, and was advised to close the doctor's room. He did so, and the doctor tried to kick the door down. He then went into the rooms of some of the women boarders and created disturbances. Then he distributed money among the servants, declaring he had Instructed by the Lord to give them money. The doctor.

Mr. Mills said, went on Saturday to the Jefferson Market court and got a summons for him. He was taken to the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Friday by Richard Dumas King, who is staying for a time in the Twenty-'second-st. house, but whose home is at No. Rue Juliette Lamber, Paris'.

with his arms outstretched. The diners were startled. Some women looked In fear at their escorts, as if asking whether to run or not. Several waiters and employes went up to Dr. Adamson and tried to make him stop, but he persisted in telling the diners In a roar- Ing of his mission to them from God.

"Jesus is a friend of mine," cried, "and am a friend of Jesus." Then they carried him out. the doctor tz-uggllng hard with tho half dozen men who held him, while the diners were in an agitated state. Dr. E. B.

Finch, vt No. 9 West Twenty-fourthat, was called. He tried to soothe the doctor, but failed, ami a cab was sent for from the Hotel, with James Long as driver. An ettempt was nvide to induce the doctor to enter the cab, but he refused, and six men had to force him in. He kicked out the windows.

Several men got in with him, and held him until he was to Bellevue Hospital. There he was quite as violent. He told of his mission from the Lord, and emphasized his words by taking set of false teeth out of hla roouth and flinging them down to the floor with all hia might. He took off his overshoes and let them fly at a clerk, saying: "The Lord knows my mission and thine." He uttered war cries in shrieks, and tried to strangle Strong, the driver, it is alleged. When some of the attendants tried to seize him.

he cried: "I am the Lord's, and no one earthy has power over me." He fought as if he had power to keep all of them off, but half a dozen proved too much for him. As he was carried out he out against Drs. Fitch and Wildman. the former and present examining and he invited all to join him in a case of champagne he ordered an attendant bring. Mrs.
