BALTIMORE. Mp. Dec. 5.-The announce
ment made last night that Mgr. Satolli had been
appointed by the pope with full power to
settle without appeal all religious ques-
tons between bishops and priests in
the United States has caused considerable
excitement in Catholic circles here. The an
nouncement was made by Cardinal Gibbons.
An effort to interview him on the subject was
unayailing. tn only thing that leaked from him
being confirmation Of the report
The chief reason for the action, and the one
that obtains general credence. is that Pope
Leo's long-continued i'll health has determined
him 90 delegate such duties properly devolve
upon him to one whom he can implicitly trust.
An interesting subject which came up in this
direction is whether the famous McGlynn case
will be taken up by Mgr. Satolh- 1t is a we'll
known fact that the communicated priest Is
desrrous OF being restored to orders and Is
agi;stiug the subject with all the means In his
power.

The joint committee on printing are anxious
that this session should see something definite
accomplished toward the erection of the new
government printing office. The committee
has already had a meeting, at which the mat
ter discussed and the determination
reached that they would not delay in bringing
the matter TO focus if possible.
The committee is unanimous on the need Of
the new building, the only difference Of opinion
being that of the exact site. What opposition
exists in the Senate itself is said to be based on
the same groun Is. the conflict being between
the committee will be held at 10 am.
lection of site will be given an opportunity to
be heard. Col. Michael, the clerk Of the COM
mittee, recently addressed the various parties
who have submitted sites inquiring whether
their bids were still open, and in almost every
case received an affirmative answer.
No opposition can be raised to the purchase
OF Il site on the ground of increasing the treas
ury deficit. as the Fifty-first Congress appro-
priated S25O, 900 for this purpose and the cree
ton Of the building thereon. The
money is not, however, available at
present, as its was suspended
Gu ing the second session Of that Congress- and
Tough 1t remains in the treasury it cannot be
touched until Congress passes Joint resolution

At the close OF last session Joint resolution
was passed. authorizing the joint printing COM
mittee to report on a site for the government
during the second week Of this session. This
the committee will do.

TO REVISE THE TARIFF.
Representative Bacon Is Anxious That the
democrats Get at 1t as Soon as Possible

Representative Bacon IL Anxious That the
Democrats Get at 1t as Soon as Possible
Representative Bacon of New York, chairman
Of the committee on banking and currency,
says that it is too early to tell what may be the
policy of the democrats as to financial legis-
lation. He does not think that
anything will be done at this session. The thing,
he SAYS. he is anxious for the party to do is to
get at the tariff and effect revision as quickly
as possible.
''If tariff bill is passed in August or Sep
tember," he says, and We go before the conn
try in November. before the people know what
it 10 and before the business of the country has
been adjusted to il. Mr.. Cleveland will have a
republican, Congress to deal with after the
expiration of this Congress. In 'SS we were
defeated because of the passage of the Mills
bill just before the election though the bill did
not become law. In 80 the republicans
passed the Mckinley bill just before the cleo
ton and they were very prompt. If the
Fifty-:hird Congress does not get at it early
and revise the tariff long enough before the
election for the people to understand it we
shall lose the House at the next election"

A Government Printing Office Employe Re-
moved Because He Scratched His Ticket.
More than little discussion was stirred up in
the government printing Office on Saturday
afternoon by the discharging of Mr.. r. B.
Smythe Of Kansas. Ordinarily no attention is
paid to single decapitation in that depart
ment, but this one was found especially inter-
esting.
1t was made at the request Of Representa-
tive Funston Of Kansas. The victim is q re-
publican, but he some time ago came to the
conclusion that he would not vote for Mr..
Funston, and he said SO. Mr.. Smythe
went home to vote last month ard
to support the republican ticket. Mr.. Funs ton
excepted. The Congressman learned of Mr.
Smythe's failure to vote for him and at once
notified him, Mr.. Smythe SAYS. that he would
be discharged from his position in the govern
meut printing Office. And it happened on
Saturday just as Mr.. Funston said it would.
