ROTTEN"
IS
KEY. TONER INDULGES IN SCATH
ING DENUNCIATIONS OF MORAL
. CONDITION OF AMERICAN SO
CIETY, PITTSBURG ESPECIALLY.
NEW YORK. August J. The World
today says:
After a record-breaking trip to Ire
land to cast his vote for T. M. Kettle,
nationalist, M. P.. Rev. Joseph Toner,
pastor of St. Lawrence's Roman Catholic
church of Pittburg, returned yesterday
on the Majestic. He had a denunciation
of American society and Pittsburg so
ciety in particular to deliver. Speaking
of a recently enacted tragedy in this
city Father Toner said
This is another evidence of the moral
decline of the rich of this country. So
called fashionable society is so rotten
now that it reminds one of the days of
ancient Rome and Greece. And that is
just what we are coming to. We are
on the decline morally, and unless some
greet power makes itself felt in the near
future this country will be as Rome
was at the time of its falL"
He fully agreed with the views of
Cardinal Gibbons and said that, although
his home was in Pittsburg, he must pro
nounce the so-called upper society of
that city "morally rotten." 1
This debauchery and immorality
exists almost entirely." he continued;
"among the millionaires men who have
come up from almost nothing. These
men are really not Pitteburgers althougj
they are casting a blight upon the name
of the city. Just as soon as they gain
their wealth they go to New York. Lon
don, and Paris to spend it in pleasure
and debauchery. Pittsburg is too busy

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-A cable dis
patch to a morning paper from Paris
savs:
The Matin today publishes an inter
view had by its Berlin correspondent
with Emperor William, in which his
Majesty said that the "yellow peril"
was not the sole danger threatening the
world, but that it is also having the
red danger. "The heads of states," the
Emperor added, "whether of absolute or
constitutional monarchies or republics.
hourly risk their lives. Preident Fal-
lieres runs the same risks as the Czar
and Preident Roosevelt the same risks
as King Alfonso. Those aiming at the
abolition of all authority and order of
governments are thoroughly agreed,
while thoe charged with the duty of
making order respected are unfortun
ately disagreed." .
The correspondent says that at the
Kiel regatta the Kaiser noticed that
the French armored cruiser Gambetta
was not present. The warship had been
invited to be present during the regatta.
and he said to the French naval attache
"It. is a pity the, Gambetta is absent
Come, come, I know what this means.
We are still suspected and are kept in
punishment." The Kaiser enforced his
remark by a genial laugh.
Speaking to another French naval
officer the Kaiser said: "It is freely
reported that I am pleased when some
fresh scandal has broken out in the
French army. It is absolutely false.
We Europeans live too closely together
and our national lives are too inter
mingled for us not to feel an evil occur
ring to any single member. Any harm
befalling the French army fills me with
uneasiness. Anti-militarism is an inter
national pest. The nation rejoicing there
at resembles a city rejoicing at an out
break of cholera in a neighboring town."
