The New Orleans Exposition Associa-
tiOn Protest Against His Words in the
H0uaa


NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 10.-At meeting Of
the Exposition Association to-day the follow
ing was adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to our knowledge
that Representative MOultOn, of Illinois. did
publicly state IN Congress on Monday that
this Exposition was failure, that not one
tenth of the space was taken by exhibitors.
and that money had been misused bv the
management, and did offer resolution TO
Congress which would seriously affect this
Exposition and, therefore, our interests as
exhibitors, and which contained statements
not correct; therefore
ResoI0ed, By this Association of the Expo
sitlon, that we solemnly protest against
such action, and request our Representatives
to vote against any effort that may be made
to lnJure THE Exposition, because progress
has been as fast as the magnitude of the work
would admit, all the space for exhibitors hav-
ing been taken, and 200 applications yet to be
provided for, and while there are minor mat
ters of difference, this Exposition is and Will
be grand success, and It is the intention of
this association to aid as far as possible the
management to put it in running order at the
time specified. G. S. BURKE, President.

Frances Religious Budget.

PARIS, Dec. 10.-The Chamber of IDENTITIES
yesterday rejected motion made by Bishop
Freppel, which provided that the stfpends Of
the superior clergy should be restored, The
Chamber also rejected Bishop FreppeI's
amendment to restore the credits for a scbol-
arship in religious seminaries. There are
rumors in the lobby that the government will
avoid any conflict in the Chamber of Depu-
ties or in the Senate upon the bill for the re-
duction of the estimates for worship. and
finding it impossible TO pass the budget in
time to be useful, 1t intends to ask the Senate
to vote the supplies needed in provisional
twelfths at the close of the session or on the
conclusion Of the debate upon the budget in
the Chamber Of Deputies.

OF the people are absolutely destitute. The
crops have been short for two seasons, and
there would daVe been hard times during the

decided not to report the Potter bill, which

financial evils. He says that the bill would
pass the House ''in minute If the House
could get chance to vote on it, which 1t will

the Mcpherson bill may pass the House,
but that is the only measure
of relief for the banks that is
likely to 20 through. The Senate Finance
Committee, notwithstanding the attitude of
the House. intends to act on the assumption
thatlt is possible to PASS some financial legisla-

action. Among them VIII be some plan Tor

CLEVELAND, Dec. l0.-The Press this after
noon publishes the following concerning the
Plenary Council lately held at Baltimore: "At
the recent meeting of the Archbishops of
America in Rome a suggestion with reference
to the election of Bishops was made and was
acted upon at Baltimore. Heretofore at the
demise of Bishop the vacancy was filed in
this manner: The Bishops of the province
would meet and select three names for the
vacant diocese, and forward them to Rome
with the Endorsements to each Of dignissumus

cases the candidate recommended as dignis-

the Holy Father himself. decree was
adopted at the late Plenafy Council that here
after new mode of the election of Bishops
will take place. Heretofore the Bishop of a
diocese had full power to remove a priest
from parish, and priest had no voice what

court of cOnsultOrs, composed of six priests of
his diocese. This court of priests viii

their objections, or, if they choose, can make
up an entirely different list and send it to
Rome. Rome then pas -es on the whole
matter. But few cases could arise in which

Interfere with the will of the priests in the
diocese in the appointment of their own
Bishops. This system attaches a great deal
of Importance to the position of rector, or
counsellor. The Bishops are said to
have concluded that in each prov
ince they will throw their united
support in favor of one OF the Catholic
papers of the province. 1t is also SAID that
the Bishops of the United States desire to see
two Catholic dailies established-One at New
York and the other at Chicago. The reason,
perhaps, why the above has not appeared in
the Catholic organs is the delicacy of giving
the views of the council before its work is au-
thoritatively made public. None the less, the
information is derived from authentic
sources"

transactions. The witness maintained that
