A New Ecclesiastical Policy 20 DO Fro
claimed by the Pope.

LONDON, February 27,--A Times dis
patch from Rome says II is stated the
cardinals submitted to the pope on
Friday favorable replies to some ques
tions which he Is said to have supplied
to them with the object Of giving the
ecclesiastical policy Of the Holy See
more eilicocious and energetic direc-
ton toward natural solution of the
various questions. On the day of tie
execution Of the new policy IL will be
proclaimed on the occasion of the
pope's episcopal jubilee. Some Ger
man bishops recently asked whether
they were at liberty to perform acts In
the execution Of laws other than those
against the church, il invited to do 80
by the civil authorities. The reply of
the Vatican was that they might as
subjects of the emperor do so In all
matters not contrary to the religion
and rights Of the church.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

Hayes T. rObRbIe Southern Policy such
as the People of Louisiana and south
Carolina Desire Grant VIII oiiiy
His Orders Regarding the status QUO
In Louisiana.
The impression still prevails among
employees of the House that count
will be finally prevented, but in more
thoughtful circles the hope or fear of 1t
is abandoned.
Senator Sherman, Stanley Matthews
and Congressman Charles Foster seem
most near Governor Hayes.
Foster is known to be in favor of al
lowing the Southern people to manage
their own affairs.
Stanley Matthews spoke quite freely
in the same direction, and Senator
Sherman has taken pains to let it be
known that he is not trying to shake
the Southern policy of Mr.. Hayes.
Bob Ingersoll is here and is much
sought and quoted by Southern place
seekers. Ingersoll assumes quite chiv-
alrous ground, and does not know how
In honor Hayes can abandon Packard
and Chamberlain.
There IL no manifestation of feeling
tais morning. The ultra Republicans
claim that the lull has been produced
by protests from the great commercial
centres against the defeat of the count,
on account of the trade disturbances
which would follow, while the ultra
Conservatives attribute 1t to the high
assurances that the South will be
treated fairly.
The letter from Governor Hayes,
telegraphed about Yesterday, cannot
be located, but II exists, and partly ac-
counts for the progress which has been
allowed to be made In the count. The
New York Herald's Washington spe-
clal says regarding 1t: ''There is a let
ter in town from Governor Hayes him
self, which approves in the most ex-
plicit and direct matner Of the speech
