birmingham, Aug. 2-JOseph Chamberlain In a
spcc,h here to night said the Government had nodc
tactical mistake In introducing the Licensing blu
during session that was crowded with bust
ness. The intentions OF the Government, how
ever. we're good and their proposals were
reasonable and bcncHccnt and ought to have
commanded the support Of every temperance man.
The proposal, had IN fact. secured the support Of the
moderate friends Of temperance. bu the Government
had been balkcd by the unexpected hostility OF the
Temperance fanatics who were represented by the
leaders of the United Kingdom Alliance and nbove
all nv the uncX pected development of party spirit
that sought every occasion 10 damage the Government
I'm power lie could respect the sincerity Cf some of
thc opponents of the measure, but he could not say
the same for their GladsOnian and Parncltc allies

The Lenses Fast 10 be Dispssssd with
by Catholics.
Sr. Louis. Feb. 22.-The Western WdscA-
nan. . prominent Catholic weekly journal
of this city, prints today letter from its
Roman correspondent, in which he says
the congregation Of universal inquisition
has issued . decree signed by Cardinal
Monaco and published in the oficial organ
OF the Vatican. abolishing the Lenten fast
and abstinence this year. This is extended
TO the whole world. the letter says, where
ever ordinaries shall judge the dispense
ton necessary.
The reason for setting aside the Lenten
obligation, il is explained, il the prevailing
influenza which is making such ravsges in
all parts OF Europe and Is thought to be
prevalent In the United States.
This decree is said to be quite . surprise
to Catholics as 1t il stated to be the first
one OF the kind ever issued in the history
of the church.
