THE pOPE's REsCRIpr.
A severe Chicago CritisIsm of That I'm
portapt Edict.

n severe Cnlcago Cr1tisfsm OF That lDl
portant Edict.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE letter of tll'
Pope explaining the rescript on the Irial
question, has naturally caused an unusual
stir among the Irish citizens of Chicago.
A reporter for local paper called on ex
Congressman John F. Finerty, the gentle
man most prominent in the meeting of pro
test called at Battery D, some weeks
since and asked him what be thought Of
the new explanation.
81 can only cay what I said when the
rescript was FIRST discussed" (" was his reply.
1T il an interference in Irish politics. II
Archbishop Walsh had taken the ground
be should have taken this second letter
would never have been sent. If the
Irish bishops of the ninsteenth century
had the backbone of the English bishops
of the thirteenth century they could easily
have brought Leo XIII to terms. Asit is,
the fight falls on the people. The issue is
made at last. For the last seven hundred
years the Irish people have been suffering
the tortures of the damned because OF
Papal interference in Irish affairs. Next
10 ,lapd, Rome hss been Ireland q
greatest political enemy; and it is on ques-
.tions of politics now alone, and not on
matters OF faith, that l am speaking. To
have the homes of Ireland leveled to the
ground, the fathers and the brothers and
the sons butchered, the wives, sisters and
daughters outraged, The infants piked OF
bayoneted, and all promiscuously starved,
is combination Of horrors before which
the devil himself would stand appalled,.
If that is legitimate government and Pope
Leo XIII maintains that it is, then legiti-
mate government springs from the devil
and not from God, and it should be stopped
whether the Premier of Epgland or the
Pope of Rome is its mouthpiece.
"The Pope of Rome has no power to
damn me or any other Catholic. His
latest utterance is an outrage on Irish
Catholic manhood and womanhood. The
Pope of Rome, the head of the Catholic
Church, is in all matters of religion, su-
preme; but the Pope of Rome, an Italian
Prince, with an Italian policy to carry out,
at no matter what expense to the other
Catholic people, is fair subject for Irish
criticism, and it is from this standpoint
criticize him. 1 am a Catholic, I am a
believer in the Catholic Church, but am
an Irishmap, and not an Italian, and l am
not to be sacrificed for the needs of Italian
diplomacy" .

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Chairman
Mills said this afternoon that the House
will have finished consideration of the
Tariff bill by tomorrow, or Thursday at
the latest, and that an effort will be made
to get final vote on Saturday.
Notice is TO be given absent members to
be present to vote on the final passage Of
the bill on Saturday. Should there not
be full attendance on Saturday a vote
will be taken on Monday.
The House then went into Committee Of
the Whole (Mr. Springer of Illinois, in
the chair on the Tariff bill, the internal
revenue feature being pending.
On behalf of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, Mr.. McMillen, Of Tennessee, offer
ed an amendment providing that the bond
required to be given by cigar msnufsctur-
ers shall be in such penal SUM as the col
lector of the internal revenue may re-
quire, not less than 500; with an addi-
ton Of $40 for every person proposed to
be employed by such manufacturer.
Adopted.
There were two pending amendments
coming over from yesterday, one offered by
Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, repealipg the tax
on cigars, eheroots aud cigarettes, and one
by Mr.. Soxden, of Pennsylvania, abolish
log the tax on spirits distilled from apples,
peaches and other fruits.
Mr.. Wise's amendment was defeated
43 to rs, and Mr.. Sowden's was with
drawn.
Mr.. Nichols, of North Carolina, offered
an amendment repealing all internal taxes.
Rejected.
A remark of Mr.. Cowles, Of North Caro-
party was in favor of squandering the sur
plus, met with criticism from Mr.. Milli-
gan, of Maine, and Mr.. Williams, of Ohio.
Mr.. Mcmillan sent to the clerks deck
and had read an extract from Mr.. Blsine's
Paris letter, in which he opposes the re-
peal of the whisky tax and says that to
cheapen the price Of whisky is to increase
its consumption enormously.
Mr.. Kelly, of Pennsylvsnsa, took issue
with Mr.. Blaine on this statement. When
Mr.. Blaine came home and found that the
bodies of the supreme moralists on the sub
jecs temperance were demanding the repeal
of the spirit tax, he would say: 81 am
ready to admit had formed an erroneous
opinion, bat now will labor with you
heart and soul." I"
Mr.. Brewer said that Mr.. Blaine would
find that 80 per cent of the Republicans of
the country were in hearty accord with the
views expressed in his letter.
Mr.. Wilson, of Minnesota, supposed that
the body of moralists referred to was that
body which sat in Chicago and declared in
favor Of removing the tax from whisky and
brandy, rather than from the blankets of
the people.
Mr.. Milliken believed that the views
enunciated by Blaine were bis when he
wIote the letter, where his views now, and
would be his views when be returned to
this country. Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas,
addressed himself TO denial Of the charge
that the Republicans were in favor of free
whisky.
Mr., Wilson, of West virginiA suggested

srn Irun Association To bs
Soon Held.

PrTTsBURG, July 1.-THE officials Of
the Amalgamated Association were ncto-
fed this afternoon that the North Chicago
Rolling Mill Company had signed the
scale.
Some Of the members Of the Western
Iron Association expected to decide to-day
upon issuing call for q meeting to con-
slider the signing of the Amalgamated
scale. Nothing definite was determined
upon, but it is quite likely that it will be
decided to have the meeting within day
or two.
One of the members Of the knights of
Labor committee stated that all but three
Of the men in the galvsnizing department
Of the Moorhead- Nc Cleane Company had
quit work this morning. He said that
there were sixty Of these men, and that rs
they had gone to work pending settle
ment or the question of reduction in
wages, they had quit this morning because
no agreement had been reached at yester-
days conference.
The Falcon Iron and Nail Company,
operating the Russia mill at youngstown,
and an extensive iron plant at Niles,
signed the scale last evening, and lighted
up the Russia mill this afternoon. The
company employs five hundred men.
Myron Arms, of the company, says: I'VE
have orders booked in May and June. and
saw no reason for letting the works stand
idle after we had completed the necessary
repairs"
This is the first mill in the Mahoning
Valley to sign the scale. 1t is reported that
Coleman, Shield & Co., of Niles, had signed.
The National Rolling Mills OF McKeesport
have resumed operations and all is running
smoothly. W. D. Wood & Co.'s mills, it is
thought, will be repaired and started to-
morrow.
Another batch of twenty men were taken
this morning to the works of the Spang Steel
and Iron Company at Etna. They make the
force employed in the blooming department
between sixty and seventy. The old hands
