PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE POPE.
How London Journals Interpret the
Meaning Of the Decree.
Patrick Egan Believes that the
Cause will be Advanced.
Indications that the Injunction will
be Vigorously Resisted.

LONDON, April 80. The Pail Mall Gazette,
commenting on the Papal decree. says: 1.-The
Pope's blunder annoys us but will make no
difference in the condition Of affairs In Ire
land, while an alliance with the Vatican
will displease England
The st. James Gazette asks what Mr.. Glad
stone thinks of his position. What the Vati-
can declares to be damning sin, Mr.. Glad
stone considers exclusive dealing.
The Globe says: "Arch Bishop Walsh
doubtless did his uttermost to refute Mgr.
Persico's statements relative to the condi-
tion Of affairs in Ireland. 1t is possible, as
the Daily News intimates, that the Pope has
been threatened with something ilKe scnlsnl;
The decree means that law and order menaced
by the junction of a strong Brltlsn party
with the Parnellites have now, In the vatl-
cans opinion, overcome the hedisturbing forces
ssailing them" -,
The Star denounces the decree as cruel,
perilous and wanton. 1t says: Ireland Is
lighting with her back TO the wall. III lre-
land submits to the sacrifice Of her liberties
to base Toay intrigue, she Will be unworthy
of the freedom, which, in few years, Eng
lishmen will grant her II she maintains ner
demands" The paper summons, English
men to denOunce their ministers intrigue.
Ireland, it declares, will accept political ad-
vice and counsel from no power but her
chosen political leaders.
The Standard argues that the effect Of the
decree will be disastrous TO- the Nationai
League by lessening its contributions,
The Irish parliamentary. party Will take
no steps in connection with the decree, but
will leave the question on its merits to the
appreciation of the people. The promoters
and supporters of the plan of campaign do
not expect the decree will act as serious
check to the enterprise.
At conference Of the leaders OF the LiDer-
al and Nationalist parties in Parliament u
was resolved to found home rule branch 0f

ute nothing to Peters pence.

Senator Frye's Glasses.

Senator Frye of Maine has bought his first
pair of spectacles. He is 81 years of age,
but has never felt the need of glasses till
now. For some weeks his eyes have been
troubling him, and he finally went to an ocu-
list, who told him that the only difficulty was
age and neglect to use the precautions that
all should adopt. Senator Frye, although
the grandfather of nine stout and active
children, is among the youngest looking men
in the Senate, and from the galleries does
not appear to be more than thirty or thirty.

No Politics from Rome.

DUBLIN, April 30.-The Freeman's jour
nal says today; "The Pope's decree will al
ways command the tenants respect, but the
people understand their own affairs too well
to allow hostile Vaccinations to prevail.
They have vigilant and able advocates in
Rome and at home whose support will never
fail them"
The Mitchelstown branch Of the National
League has decided that it will not take its
politics from Rome and notices have been
posted in Kilrush promising the doom of
James Carey. the Phoenix Park informer, to
any one dealing with the inn keeper who har
bored the constable who assaulted the priest
during the efforts Of the authorities to sup
press the meeting of the National League at
that place.

Life to the League.

LINCOLN, Neb., April 30.-On the question
of the papal condemnation of the plan of
campaign, Patrick Egan, ex-president Of the
Irish National League of America, said yes
terday: "The Irish National League in Ire
land was hard pressed by the length and
severity of the present struggle; but this at
tempt at spiritual interference in matters
partly temporal and political will put new
life, energy and determination into the move
ment, will raise unexpected difficulties for
England and bring no credit or advantage to
Rome. Irish Catholics recognize very clear
ly that church men are not the church.
While they will have no quarrel with the
latter, they will stand no dictation from the
former, and especially when no question Of
faith or morality is involved.
John Dillon, staunch Catholic and
true patriot, expressed the exact truth when
he said recently that in Irish matters, out
side of religion, the commands of the Pope
would have no more weight than those Of
the Sultan of Turkey, and the words Of
Michael Davitt were very significant when
he said he preferred boycotting to the blum
derbuss. When English Tories are forced to
intrigue for help in holding down Ireland
with the Ulster Orange lodges on the one
side and the Pope of Rome on the other.
then their case must be getting desperate
and the end mot far off -

INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR AUTHORS.
Senator Beck Declares the Copyright
Bill Protection Gone Mad,
And Draws a Terrible Picture of It's
Probable Effect.
Distinguished Names Which VIII
Help Along the Sorrento Boom

WASHINGTON, April 30.-After prelimina-
ry business in the Senate today. the interna-
tional copyright bill was taken up. The
amendment offered by Senator Morrill,, as to
re-publications of magazine and newspaper
articles, was withdrawn by his authority
aud another amendment offered for him by
Senator Chace, who said he would accept it
as a matter of compromise. 1t was that any
publisher of newspaper or magazine may
import for his own use, but not for sale, not
more than two copies of newspaper or
magazine published in a foreign country.
The amendment was adopted
Senator Beck spoke against the bill as one
which proposed to give an absolute monopo-
ly to few favored individuals in the United
States in combination with foreign authors
1t was protection gone mad. 1t was bill
for trusts, pools, combinations and exclusive
rights to certain men. If the bill became a
law the American people would no longer
have the benefit of cheap books. The union
of publishers and the union of printers
would force publication at such prices as
they saw fit to ask. He was opposed to the
establishing of a monopoly under the guise
of promoting science and the useful arts. 1t
was the worst job, he ever saw; No tariff
prive the American people of their right to
purchase books cheaply. The object of the
bill was to build up a monopoly, and give to
the publishers of the four great publishing
cities-New York. Boston, Philadelphia and
Chicago-the exclusive power to publish for
eign books and exact any price they saw fit
Senator Call said he was not prepared to
vote for that feature of the bill which Great
ed a monopoly of thought, and which at
tached condition to it requiring books to be
published from type set up in this country.
Senator Chace said the bill simply extend
ed the provisions Of existing law to foreign
authors, and gave no privilege to them not
enjoyed already under the existing law by
American authors.
Senator Jones of Arkansas moved to strike
out all of Section 2, requiring as part of the
conditions of the copyright that printed cop
les of books and works of art be sent to the
Congressional Library, the books to be print
ed from type set within the United States.
This amendment gave rise to discussion
participated in by Senators JONES' Chace,
Kenna, Call and Gray. Senator Chace op-
posed the amendment as tending to emascu-
late the BILL destroy its unity, and throw it
out of harmony with itself. The vote ON the
amendment was, yeas IA, nays Is. no quorum
voting. The Senate then adjourned.

sorrento's Opportunity.

The new resort, Sorrento, on the shore of
Maine, opposite Bar Harbor, is liable to be-
come the summer headquarters of consid
cradle portion of what is known as 'the ad-
ministration." During the past week Secre-
tary Whitney has purchased one of the most
charmingly picturesque places on the shore
of Sorrento, known as Oak Point, peninsu-
la jutting into the waters of Frenchman's
Bay. This is one Of the finest places at this
new summer resort. There is a beautiful
grove of Oak, maple and fir balsam trees
covering the estate purchased by Mr.. Whit
ney, in the midst of which he intends to
construct a handsome summer residence.
Another equally important acquisition to
Sorrento is the Presidents esteemed private
secretary Col. Daniel Lamont, who has pur-
chased q summer residence belonging to Col.
Lewis, the president of the company owning
the whole territory in the neighborhood of
Sorrento. The property which he has pur-
chased is known as the Frank III. Smith cot
tage, and it is somewhat noted as containing
a unique fireplace built of rough boulders
from the ledges and shores
Col Lamont's family, consisting of his
mer at Sorrento, and the Colonel will, of
course, be there part of the time. The Pres
ident himself has been much interested in
hearing about the attractions of this locality
which have been made known to him by
Hon. Frank Jones and Col Lewis, and in
view of the fine fishing and game preserves
that the company owns in the same county,
it is quite probable that he will make trip
there this summer.
