Dr. Edward McGlynn Yields
' to Long Illness.~
humor or THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
”communicated From Roman Catli—
hlie Church, but Finally Restored
Without Change of Attitude.
Beloved by the Masses.
NEVVBURG, N. Y., Jan. 8.——The Rev.
Dr. Edward McGlynn. rector of St. Ma-
ry’s church, died at the rectory at 5:20
Sunday afternoon after an illness of six.
Weeks. Death was due to heart failure
superinduced by Bright‘s disease.
:'All odor-ts toward prolonging life were
made by the physicians. but at «I o‘clock
the priest lapsed into unconsciousness,
gis last audible prayer being. "Jesus,
ave mercy on me.” He passed away
without recovering consciousness.
The citizens of the city were preparing
a testimonial for Dr. McGlynn. who cel—
ebrated his first mass in St. Mary's
church on New Year’s day, 1895. and
who had been in the ministry for +10
years. People of all denominations were
to have united in honoring the priest. and
a purse was to have been presented to
him. He was beloved by Newburg peo-
ple, and they pin-posed to show their af—
.fecti0n for. him. News ‘Qf his death
caused profound sorrow. Prayers had
been oifered in both Protestant and Cath-
olic churches for his recovery.
Dr. McGlynn was first stricken with
illness on Nov. 16 at the rectm'y. He
was seized with a severe cold' and vasi
l
l
compelled to seek his bed. Though he.
was obliged to break engagements to lec- .
ture‘, no alarm was felt by his friends un-
til the following Monday. when he suf—'
fered a severe chill. The first serious at- l
tack occurred Nov. 26, and a day or two
later there was a. consultation of physi-
cians. It was announced that Dr. Mc-
Glynn was suffering from chronic kidney
disease.
Early in December Dr. McGlynn suf—
fered two attacks of heart failure, andl
his relatives were hurriedly summoned.‘
He rallied, and until Saturday night he
appeared to be holding his own and grad- l
ually regained strength. He was able to i
sit by his bedside for a few minutes each 5
day, but'was never able to leave his
room.
Dr. McGlyun was 02 years old last,
September. “7 hen he was stricken, he'
was robust and of tine physique, but he
became greatly emaciated by his long ill-
.ncss.
Edward McGlynn was born in New
York city on Sept. 27. 1837. He was e<l~
ucated at the public schools and in 1851- .
60 studied theology at the ’Jollege of the ,
Propaganda in Home. where he received
his doctorate after public examination.
InplSGO he was ordained to the priest—
hood, and on his return to America he
“as made an assistant. pastor and also;
became. a hospital chaplain. In 1808 he,
was appointed pastor of St. Stephen's .
church in New York city and became
very popular by his eloquence. hcarliness
and quick sympathy with the people.
Dr. McGlynn’s mwillingness to estab~
lish a parochial school in connection with
his church and his claim that the public
schools were safe for the children of Ro-
man Catholics brought him into disfavor:
with the authorities of the church. He
supported Henry George during the may-
oralty canvass of 1880, and his remarks
in favor of Mr. George’s land theories on
public- platforms resulted in his being
Censured by the archbishop of the dio-
cese. He persisted. and the matter was '
referred to Rome ‘10- action. The arch-l
bishop meanwhile removed him from the I
charge of St. Stephen’s, and he was sum- ,
moned to appear at the Vatican, but. ig-i
noring the papal command. he was ex-i
' communicated. During the spring of 1887 l
l
l
I
Dr. McGlynn helped to found and be-
came. the president. of the Antipoverty
society and was conspicuous by his Sun-
day evening lectures before that body. ,
\Vhen Mgr. Satolli came to the United 1
States as apostolic legato in .1892 be ex-
amined Dr. McGlynn's also by the pope’s
special authority. The trial was held in
the Catholic university in W'ashington.
On Dec. 2-} the following statement was
given out by Father 0’Gorman:
"To end the nznny contrmlictory tele-
grams sent out to the university for in-
quiry it is thought expedient to state that
a 9 o‘clock p. in. Dr. lull-Glynn was de-
clared free from. ecclesiastical censures
and restored to the exercise of priestly
f'um lions after having satisfied the pope‘s g
legnte on all the points in his case.” . i
It was said later that Mgr. Satolli llfl(
said he did not iind that the doctrines!
which Dr. .‘liclliynnfilzul preached were,
really opposed to (be church’s teaching."

Prosecution May Close This VVeek.
’ NEW’ YORK, Jan. 9,—There was but
little weighty testimony produced in yes-
terday‘s proceedings in the trial of Ro-
land B. Molineux for the murder of Mrs
Katharine J. Adams, and the develop-
ments brought the hope that the prosecu-
tion would get through with its ease by
the end of the present week. The most
important witnesses placed on the stand
were Morris Hcrrmann, a member of the
firm in Newark for which Mr. Molincux
was superintendent. and Edwin B. ll. 3;
of \Vashington, who gave testimony a". :l

ALLEGESTREACHERY;
Pettigrew Says Government Is
Fighting Its Allies.
SENATOR MORGAN Oil RACER PROBLEM
Discussing Pensions, Mr. Teller Snya
No Political Party Can Afford to
Deny Justice to the Na-
tion’s Defenders. ,
W'ASHINGTON. Jan. 9.—During a
discussion yesterday of a resolution of in-
quiry offered by Mr. I’ettigrcw of South
Dakota some sensational statements were
made in the senate regarding the attitude
of the United States toward the Filipino
insurgents. Mr. P‘ttigrew declared that
this government had attacked its allies
and thereby‘had been guilty of the gross-
est treachery. Thisstatemcnt was re-
sented warmly by Mr. Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, who declared that this govern-
ment had done nothing of the kind and
that not even remotely had it recognized
the so called government of the Filipinos.
Mr. Morgan (Dem.) of Alabama dis-
cussed at length the race question in the
south, basing his remarks upon a resolu-
tion offered by Mr. Pritchard (Rep) of
North Carolina. He deemed it impera-
tive that some course. should be adopted
which would prevent a repetition of the
Hayes-Tilden controversy and discussed
fully the fourteenth and fifteenth amend-
ments to the constitution. He maintain-
ed that to attempt to force the black race
into a social and political equality with
the white race was only to clog the prog-
ress of all 'mankind. The specch‘ was a
strong appeal for action that would bene-
fit both races and a defense of the new
constitutions of Louisiana and North
Carolina.
At the conclusion of Mr. Morgan’s
speech Mr. Pritchard gave notice that he
would address the senate on the resolu-
tion on Jan. 22.
A bill amending the dependent pension
act of June 2?, 1300. was called up and
explained by M . Gallinger of _New
Hampshire. The two amendments pro-
posed by the bill were that widows who
have an income of $250 in excess of daily
wages should be pensioned under the act
and authorizing the commissioner of pen-
sions to aggregate the disabilities of an
applicant in fixing his pensionable status.
In the course of a protracted discussion
of the general pension question. a discus-
sion which took a wide range, Mr. Teller
of Colorado said he was not appalled by
the fact that $140,000,000 annually was
paid by the government to pensioners.
He was certain that more men were off
the pension rolls who ought to be on than
were on and ought to be off. No political
party, he thought. could afford to hesi-
- tate to do ample justice to those who had
fought for the country.
The bill was amended so as to provide
that in case the widow should have “re-
sonrces” instead of an “income” from
which $250 a year is derived or derivable
she should be pensionable and further
that the bill does not apply to vidows
June 27. 1890.
The bill as amended was passed.
A bill was also passed providing that a
widow’s pension shall commence with the
application and not at the date of the
soldier's death and construing a section
of the dependent pension act.
At 3:55 p. m. the senate went into exec-
utive session and at 5 o’clock adjourned.
The house ordered two investigations
as a result of resolutions introduced by
Representative Lentz of; Ohio. The first
is to be an investigation by the commit-
tee on postofiiccs and postroads into the
charge that two federal appointres of the
president. Postmaster John ". Graham
of Provo City, Utah, and Postmaster Or-
son Smith of Logan, Utah, are under in-
dictment as polygamists and whether afli-
davits to that effect were on file at the
time of their appointment. The other is
a general investigation of the military
committee into the conduct of General
Merriam and the United States army
officers during the \Vardner (Ida.) riots
and subsequent thereto. The house ad-
journed until \Vcducsday.

BOERSHELDlNCHECK
BULLER REPORTED ACROSS IUGELA
British Garrison Sadly In Need of
Belief, \Vllich Cannot Be Given.
England In Preparing Fresh
Armaments For Service.
LONDON, Jan. 9.—General White still
holds out, or did so 60 hours ago. when
the Boers, ousted from their foothold in.
side the works, suspended their assault
at nightfall. England has taken heart
The situation, however, is worse. The
beleaguered force must have expended a
large amount of ammunition, which can
not be replenished, and must have lost a
number of officers and men, which is
counterbalanced, so far as the garrison
is concerned, by the greater loss of the
Boers. *
General “'hite still needs relief, and
the difliculties confronting General Bullet
are as great as before.
The former’s unadorned sentences, as
read and reread, suggest eloquently the
peril in which the town was for 14 hour.
and how barely able his 9,000 men were
to keep from being overcome. .
The chief concern for General White is
in respect of ammunition. Sixty-eight
days ago, at the beginning of the siege.
his small arm ammunition was vaguely
described as “plenty.” His artillery then
had 300 rounds per gun. Some of tht
batteries have been in action frequently
since then. and all were probably eugageo
last Saturday. His stock of shells con-
sequently must be low. and this will
make it difficult for General White to co-
operate in a movement by General Bul
101‘.
England is preparing fresh armaments
.and 22 transports will be on the way tc
South Africa during the present month
According to the programme, 25,000 addi-
tional troops and ‘72 guns will soon be
afloat. The government has ordered
Vickcrs’ Sons &. Maxim, Limited. to man
ufacture as many 4.7 inch and 6 inch

The var oilice has received the follow-
ing from General Buller:
“The following is from \Vhite, dated 2
