men of the city, but department clerks of

Church, Black Friars. This church is on

the Pope's bull against WyclifTe was
read. The celebration is under the
direction of Messrs. Edwin Shipton
and j. w. Standerwyek. A choral
service was given to-day by various reli-
gious societies. Dissenters OF all denomi-
nations were represented. The Bishop
of Liverpool preached an able and inter-
esting sermon from a text found in the
second Epistle of Peter, 1st chapter, verse

Wyclitfe was the first Englishman to
maintain the supremacy of the scriptures,
to denOunce the Roman church, and to
translate the Bible. He was the morning

The senate sends Batch of 3 OF
These Measures to the House.
WASHINGTON, May 81. - Senators
smiled in conscious way at each other
this morning as they passed one by one
thirteen bills providing for the erection of
as many public buildings at an initial
cost of about $1,5OO,O0O. This was the
second raid of this sort on the Treasury,
and added just thirteen more bills to the
pile on the Speakers table in the House,
which will be pushed through, if the
special order for public buildings is ever
reached. The Senators voted for them al
most unanimously, and quite, as matter
of course, until every public
building bill on the calendar
had been passed. Then they resumed
the ordinary business. 1t is doubtful
whether these public building bills will
ever be reached again in the House. In
the meanwhile Mr.. Stockslager, of Indi-
ana, Chairman of the Public Buildings
Committee, who brought the bills in has
been defeated in his attempt to. secure a
