Fatbar Ixmneigan slated that he bad heard the rumor*, but that the whole matter rested with the bishop and what that dlgnltar’ would do he knew absolutely nothing officially. 3t>eak-, ing unofficially and personally, he was of the opinion that nothing would lie done In the direction of changing 1 the present boundary lines of the two parishes. In glancing out of the windows of the parsonage, with no sign of work , men or activity on the new ehurrh. Fa-1 ther I-onrergan said that the building operations were temtetrarlly at a standstill, owing to the dlfflrulty In ob taining the special grades and sixes of brick required 4n the growth of (buy Barred edifice. This will be overcome 1 shortly, though. Another source or pro bable delay will be the lumber delivery occasioned by the unfortunate failure yesterday of W. H. Lynch ft Co., who had this contract. It was the Father’s hope thnt the big building would be roofed in by Christ mas time, the foundation stones having been laid last September, nearly a year ago. MR. W. P. A. WHITE. Father of Messrs.

Of the three hundred names necessary there are now en rolled about one hundred and eighty. Soon the list will tie closed and many who would glady have become mem bers will find that their dllatorlnoss will have excluded them. As stated before application for membership need not bo accompanied by money, this ran be paid when the tickets are delivered, but It is very necessary If there is to be a Lyceum B that the names be en rolled without further delay.

The Auxiliaries Wl'l Re Kept In the Service of the Government. New York. Aug. Id.—A special from Washington rays: The etrength of the navy will not be precipitately redur-d on account of the cesaattcn of hostili tlea, but on the contrary the adminis tration hss determined that a very large naval force will be nrc ssitated by the Increased obllgat'ons the lTni ted states has undertaken or had forced upon it. Orders nre given not only for the prosecution of energetic operations al rII naval stations to spe-'dlly put In line trim all the regular warships of the fleet, but a very large proportion of the auxiliaries, whlrh were purchased to the number of nearly o hundred, will be considered in the category of perm anent additions to the navy and will not be turned back to the original own ers. Sorh a poliry was favorably con sidered by the authorities a few weeks ago, but bordly hud the peoc-' protocol been signed than there resulted a more adequate reol'iation of the great change which the national policy of the United States had almost Invisibly un dergone and today the conviction is forced upon the naval administration that the American sea power cannot he safely curtailed.
