Uniform Textbooks in Michigan.

LANSING, Mich, March 20.-The senate
devoted yesterday TO the consideration in
committee of the whole of Senator Bas-
tones bill II secure uniformity of text
books and provide for the publication of
such books by the state. The practical
effect of this bill was to prohibit the
teaching of other than the English Ian.
guage in the public school, of the
state. The committee eliminated this
feature of the bill, and it will probably
pass. The house committee on elections
reported in favor of Hall, Republican, in
the Ogemaw contest. An attempt to re.
peal the law making the common property
of man and wife not subject to execution
for the debts of either, was defeated.

May Publish the Truth.

JEFFERSON CITY, March 2O.-The senate
yesterday holly debated the house bill to
prohibit blacklisting. The bill made it
felony for any one to publish or circulate
any statement true or false, for the pur.
pose of preventing any person from OBJ
tanning employment, and it placed the
penalty at from two to five years in the
penitentiary. The bill was finally
amended by doing away with the pro,i-
sion against publishing the truth aud
adding provision against the publica-
ton of list to show that a man is a
member of labor organization.

LONDON, March 20 The Italian laws
for the suppression of religious guilds and
fraternities which have existed for centu-
ries, and for the abolition of chaplains IN
hospitals, asylums and prisons, began to
go into effect in February. The result is
extraordinary. Until two Sundays ago
$500 masses were celebrated in Rome
every Sunday; the number is now reduced
to 800 One hundred and fifty-two
churches are to be closed at once and their
affairs demolished. The pictures and stat
ues, except such as the state thinks proper
to reserve for public galleries, are to be
sold by public auction. In the rest of
Italy they will be destroyed, and not even
remote villages will be exempt from this
stern decree
Soldiers Kept Away from Church.
Steps are also taken to prevent officers
and soldiers from attending mass On Sun
days, military duties being imposed on
them during church hours. All sacred
names are being erased from the school
books and sacred emblems are removed
from the school rooms. These laws have
created the utmost bitterness among the
clergy. The pope is resolved to spare no
efforts to assist emigration to America
and Africa. An enormous number of
ecclesiasIics who have been receiving
salaries from religious institutions are
now without positions

LONDON, March 20-Mr and Mrs. Jack

case at Clitheroe, appeared in the court of
appeals here yesterday in answer to writ
of habeas corpus, issued by the lord high
chancellor. Mrs. Jackson gave no indi-
cation by locks or actions of discomfort
at her treatment by her husband, and sat
by him during the hearing. The testi-
mony given did not present any material
additions to the facts already published.
Mr.. Jackson said he seized his wife and
conveyed her to Blackburn only to enlist
sympathy tog himself
Claims of the Lawyers
Mrs. Jackson listened with extreme
composure to the arguments of her hus-
bands counsel, which were to the effect
that husband is the owner of his own
wife. At the conclusion of the testimony
and argument the lord high chancellor
decided that the husband had no legal
right to detsin his wife against her will
and without giving her an opportunity to
maintain her cause il court, and Mrs.
Jackson was given her liberty. This APP
peal was made by Mrs. Jackson's friends
against the decision of the court of

husband would not let her make
