CHICAGO, March 17.-Never before In the
history OF Chicago has its Irish population OBJ
served the anniversary OF Ireland's patron
saint on q more general scale than prevails to-
day. Every Celt, man and woman, boy and
girl, seems to have taken a holiday. and the
streets In the business centre are thronged
with "wearers Of the green' clad In their Sun
day go-to.meeting attire. This increased dis.
play OF interest in the anniversary Is attrib
uted to the enthusiasm which fills the Irish
breast in consequence Of the success which has
attended their countrymen across the water In
their struggle for independence. Contrary to
the custom, however, since the day that Chica-
go ceased to be a village, there will be no
parade or procession to day. The abandon
ment OF this feature OF the celebration is due
to the tff )rts of Vicar General Convey,
seconded by several of thY leading
Catholic organizations. Several months
ago the vicar general pointed out that
the parade not only involved considerable loss
OF time and physical strength, bnt also en-
tailed a great expense In the matter of music,
flags, regalia and other accessories, TO ssy
nothing OF the vast sum inevitably expended
at the shrine OF the Glowing bowl' after the
break up OF the procession. He therefore
urged that this feature should be dispensed
with and that for It should be substituted macs
meetings and entertainments, the proceeds TO
be applied to the Parnell parliamentary fund
and the parish priest fund for relieving dis.
tress. Some Of the societies were at first in,
clined to kick at the suggestion, but finally all
fell into line and hence 1t is that Chicago
Will witness no Irish parade to-day.
What may be lacking In this regard, however,
VIII be more than made up In other features.

WASHINGTON, March lS--The patioral
bankruptcy bill drawn by Judge Lowell, of
Massachusetts,, and approved by the House
committee on judiciary, saw the l'gAt for tie
first time to-day. 1t is q very important Deas-
ure, but has been considerably amended since
Its first Introduction. The principal amend
ments ere as follows: The provision for the ap
pointment OF nine Supervisors is stricken out
The clause providing that the debtor whose
commercial paper is thirty days ya,t
shall be placed in %involuu-
tary bankruptcy Is also stricken
out. A provision is added to the clause re-
curing creditors to give boni upon the issue
at their request OF 9 warrant for the arrest OF
q debtor, allowing the debtor TO recover ex.
emplary damages IN cases where the warrant
Is procured without probable cause or through
malice. A clause Is also added 10 the effect
that neither the wife nor attorney of the debt.
or shall 6e required, upon examination to
disclose sny communication made to them BY
the debtor which L. protected as confidential
by the practices Of common law.
1t is not believed that the measure will have
very smooth sailing In the House. Congress
man Hepburn, CT Iowa, who has taken consid-
cradle interest In the question, and who has
made a personal canvass Of the House says
that q majority OF the members are opposed to
the enactment OF any national bankrupt law.
The friends Of the Lowell bill are very much
dissatisfied with the amendments made In
committee, but hope that II the bill ever gets
to the Senate they will be stricken out. Mr..
Seney has given notice In committee that he
Will move IN the House TO substitute his bill
for the Lowell measure. The Seney bill puts
most OF the machinery OF the bankruptcy
proceedings into the hands of the
state courts, and does not provide for
any voluntary bankruptcy. Under its
the bankrupt would file his
in the United States District
court IN the district CT his residence and his
discharge would be from the same source.
