in the trees. His opinion is, that
should nothing later on occur to inter
fere with the crop, it will be a most
prolific one. The trees are fuller of
blossoms than they were last year, and
as there has been but little fruit gath
cred in this vicinity for three years
and the last two seasons wet and thus
very favorable to wood growth. the
capacity of the trees for production is
greatly enhanced. The result of Mr..
Cummins' observations was, both full

A despatch from Rome says that the
College of the Holy Office was charged
to examine Mgr. Persico's reports and
decide whether Catholics belonging to
the National League were guilty of sin
and debarred from absOlution. The

piled in the affirmative and drew up a
decree to that effect. Cardinal Sine
Oni acting under the Pope's orders. for
warded the decree to Ireland, with in
structiOns to MonsignOr Persico and
the Irish Episcopacy, when instructing
the clergy to enforce it, to inform them
that they must refuse absoution to
any one declining to renounce member
ship in the National League.
1t is further stated that neither the
League nor its political aims are ex-
plicitly condemned by the Holy Office
which confines itselfto declaring that
the methods employed are contrary to
the religious duties of Catholics. The
Pope approved the decision without
in any way entering into political
questions pending between England
and Ireland. Archbishop Walsh is
still in Rome in compliance with or
