Archbishop Purcell's Creditors Disbelieve
tbe Doctrine That "God Is Not
Bound to Pny Debts**—Arch
bishop Kbler Denounced.
Cincinnati, August 1.—The intense feel
ing with which the creditors of the estate
of the late Archbishop Purcell hnve re
garded the defaulting assignee, and tbe va
rious hindrances in tbo way of getting their
just debts from the estate, broke out in a
most extraordinary and sen-ationul way in
a meeting which they held this sfteftioon
snd which was attended by about 400 per
sons. As soon as the regular order of bnsi-
ness hnd been dispatched u bomb was
thrown into tbe deliberations m the shape
of the following remarkable document, di
rected to the Pope of Rome:
To tbo Sovereign Pontiff, Leo XIII, Pope of
Romo— Illustrious Father of the Roman Catholic
Church: We approach you with much diffidence tnd
due respect to lay before you our petition for the
removal of William Henry Elder, archbishop of
Cincinnati, to some more congental sphere ot use
fulness. You sent him here without consulting the
wishes or advice ot Catholics. They ars asked to
support a’l the institutions of the Catholic church
without having a voice In the choice of their eccle
siastical rulers. These are sent to u« without the
slightest reference to tbo consent or welfare of tho
people, who have to pay a hea*y price for their
maintenance In the highest style or celestial dignity.
Archbishop Elder came here as coadjutor of Pur
cell, anil plotted against his superior. The- latter
said his debts of |4,uuO,OUO were diocesan and should
be paid by the church. Arch bishop Elder says they
were net diocesan debts, and must not be paid bv
tbe church. He demanded of the assignee to al
low the judgment of the lower court to stand
which would rob th* creditors and turn over all the
diocesan property to himself. With other United
States bishops he has seized snd held for seven
years funds collected in 1879 for tbe Archbishop’s
creditors. Thia he declared was to be used in buy
ing in churches sold by the court, and then denies
it through through the public press. That tbe Arch
bishop stated when he dtclar.a It w*s collected for
buying in churches sold by tbecmrt Is shown by

The Department of State lint received the
following interesting dispatch from Minis
ter McLane, at Paris, relntivo to the Pana
ma canal:
Lioinns or the United States, Pabis,
July 0, 18KG.—Sit: The department ia aware
that about a year ago M. de Lcssepa applied
to the French government for tho authori
zation to issue a lottery loan of six hundred
millions of francs to complete the Panama
canal. In making this application M. do
Lcs-eps plated substantially that the cost of
the canal would not surpass the original es
timate of one thousand and seventy millions
of franoa; that about one-hal f of the whole
work was done with an expenditure of less
than fivo huodred millions, and that, ac
cording to a moderatocalculation, the cnnal
when perfected would pay liberally its
shareholders. Before acting upon that ap
plication tho French government
commissioned M. Kousscnu, late
under secretary of state and chief engineor
in tho civil service, to examine the condi
tion of the work undertaken by tbo canal
company, and to report thereon. M.
Rousseau, after having proceeded to Pan
ama, reported that the completion of the
canal was possible, and that in his opinion
the government was morally bound to en
courage the enterprise, although it ought
not to take any responsibility in the mat
ter. 51. Roussein, however, did not con
ceal his belief that the caDal could no be
terminated within the limit of time and of
expenditnre estimated by the company, un
less the original plan be set aside and the
canal made with locks. The technical com
mittee of the Panama Company, to which
the French government also applied for an
expression of opinion, stated that tho six
hundred millions asked for would at least
enable the company to bring tho enter
prise to a point where success would be as
sured.
Upon these statements tho government,
after some hesitation, consented to grant

mathematical calculation it may be detuon-
atrated that n rainfall of three inohes, or
ntber ot three and n quarter inches, aa now
ometaiiy reported tor n recent norm, is
equivalent to nbout 88,250 gallons
to tha square acre, or 50,430,000 gal
lons to the square mile, enough
to fill 1.412,000 forty-gallon barrels. Kill-
mating the weight of thi- enormous rainfall
at the old accepted rate of a pint to • pound,
we tiud it to be '225,020 tons, or almost
three times tbe wtight of tbo Washington
Monument. Thu is a single square mile,
remember. Those who may fret » turtuer
interest in tbe matter can, without great
difficulty, approximate the nuinbirot bar
rels and tons of water which fell in the ten
mile* .quire of the nrigin*i District of
Oolamhaa, • end before they get through
ciphering they wilt oome to tho conclusion
that a three-and-wquarter-inch rainfall it
decidedly wet and an amazingly heavy one.
The Prohibitiohiat* may certainly con
that Providence is on their side.

Leasepa, it did not intend to guarantee his
enterprise, not even morally, and that for
hia part he would not take the floor in he.
half of the measure, "because this would
give to the affair a gunrautee which he could
not give." The minister of public works
expressed some astonishment at this lan
guage, and declared that he wonld speak in
favor of the bill M. Ronsseau, who was
called next, expressed himself more decid
edly than In his report. He declared that
tic canal coaid not be terminated by the
time and with the means originally esti
mated by the company, and added that
mnch more than six hundred millions and
three years of labor would bo necessary
to complete the work, unless the
lock system was adopted, which would in
sure a saving of four hundred millions.
With reference to tho United State, M.
Roussean said that the morion mado in the
House by Mr. King expressed the individual
opinion of that gentleman, who undoubted
ly was not aware that In taking the iuitia-
ttvo of the measure now proposed France
did not, by any means, Intend to interfere
in American affaire, or to assume either a
right or ownership over the cuts), or a right
of coutrol or of guarantee, and that the vuto
the Chamber of Deputies i* requested to
live Is simply a formality made necessary
>y tbe French code, which forbids, witt out
sDeoisl legislation, any loan in lottery bonds.
The United State's, he added, are nndonbt-
edly nnfavoreble to the enterprise being
pursued under the auspices of France, bnt
uuvrrihelevs no violent inteiferebce ou their
part is to be feared.
In it* a. end sitting the committee heard
51. de Freycinet, who wa* asked by the
chairman to explain the position of tbe
canal oimpany with regard to both tbe
French and American government*. In reply
to the first question* the president of the
couucll repeated in more emphatic terms
what had already been said by 51. Ronsaean,
that alth-ingh the government wonld attp-
port the hill authorizing the loan, it did not
assume any responsibility, moral or finan
cial, in the enterprise, wbioli was u private
one, and over which the government hail no
control whatever. It was, however, an en
terprise by which France might derive par
ticular advantages. If, for tostauoe,
th* Suez canal wa* closed,
the communication* ot France with
China and Indo-China would bo insured
through the Panama canal. It waa, there
fore, a political undertaking of great magui-
tnde, in which the good name of Fr toco is
at Btuke, and Us collapse would certainly
injure li-r influence to America; on the con
trary, it* success would increase French
prestige.
The chairman having remarked that while
the government wa* positive in declining
any responsibility in tha matter, it leeniet]
to act in a way which implied such respon
nihility, 51. de Freycinet insisted that this
view could b« maintained only by mianu-
demanding the question. The gov
ernment, he said, waa not aaked either to
give to tbe company the right to make
a loan r-r to recommend that loan;
it was simply requested to txtend to
the c unpany tha same facilities extended
formerly to ths Su z Canal Company nndcr
like circumstance-; that is to say, the privi-
lege of making * loan in a peculiar way.
Referring to the motion cl Mr. King, 5L
de Freycinet said that he had received rom
the French legation at Washington no par
ticular itif irmalion upon the subject. There
existed uo difficulty betwocn the United
Stile* anil thn company, and he did not ad
mit the ripht of interference by tbe former.
In the third sitting ot the committee 51.
Jacqm-t, oue of the m-iatdi* im.uiid.i-d mgi
eerre of France, and one of the directors of
the canal, expressed tbe opiuion that these
works could tot lie te rminuted within the
time state.', and that .ixHimidred millions
asked for at present wonld be insufficient,
particularly if the level plan wn not set
aside for the lock system. 51 .Is Lesssps,
who wasbrard *fterwards,wa« postive.on tho
contrary that the caual would be finished
without locks as origmaHy pr posed, both
as regard to time and expenditnre. With
ref. recce to the at'itnd* of the United
State-*, the old gentleman gave to the com
mittee * lecture on the Monroe doctrine,
which he explained to bis sati.faction at
least, and concluded by asserting that noth
ing waa to be feared on that score. Tho
oommittee, aa stated above, is hostile to the
loan. Eight of it* members out of eleven
