SECRET SOCIETIES" "
C1THOLIC PRELITES DEFINE THE
DESIGNATION OF TIE TERM.
Freemasons Not the Only Secret Order
Forbidden by the Roman Church.
The School Question.

| NEW YORK, Nov. 17-At the second
days session Of the Archbishops Confer
encc, the greater portion Of the time was
Occupied in discussion Of the questions en-
the condemnation OF certain secret s0cie-
ties The debate referred chiefly to the
odd Fellows and the Sons Of Temperance
Archbishop Katzer, of Milwaukee, brought
the matter to the attention Of the council
by presenting the petition Of the German
Catholic Central Society, OF the United
Stltes, which was adopted at Dubuque,
Iowa, I'm September last, asking the con-
ference 10 clearly define the designation
"secret society" in plain and unmistakaDle
terms, as some doubt has been raised IN
tho minds Of scme OF the church authorl-
ties AS 10 whether the societies named
came under the Papal bull.
In explaining his position, Archbishop
Katzer said that it is absolutely not true
that the Freemasons are the only society
forbidden by the church, and that ccnse-
quently n Catholic may join any other lodge
or society except the Freemasons.
According To Archbishop Katzer, the So
cistv Of odd Fellows has within late years
gained large increase OF membership frcm
the Catholic ranks. on the plea that they
are not Ereemasons, ana therefore ho1 d
society forbidden by the Catholic Church,
The majority of the council conceded
with the opinions expressed by Archbishop
Katzer and appropriate action will be
taken before the close Of the conference
so that the matter will be indisputably
settled
The only phase of the school question
touched upon at tc-days session was that
Of the treatment Of the Catholic Indlan
children in the Western reservations, who
have been compelled to attend non-Catholc
schools. despite the protests of their par
ents.
Right Rev. Bishop p. L. Chapelle, the
coadiutor and representative Of Archbishop
Salpointe, Of Santa Fe, was the principal
speaker on the subject, and he called 1or
some decisive action on the part or his
colleagues.
The conference adjourned at 8 o'clock In
the evening.

that hc would make no promises or any

considered success TO the ticket i'm this
State was matter of much more impOr-

the idea that his Democracy was ques-

one and that he would go to election

a DEFICIENCY IMMINENT.
Pensions VIII Soon Reach Twenty Million
Dollars Per Month.

WASHINGTON. Nov T.-Secrctary
Foster and other Treasury officials are
giving attention just now to the subject
Of n probable deficiency In the reve-
nues for the next fiscal year. With .
new administration expected to lower
duties on a number of articles and to
put others on the free list, a state Of
uncertainty is created that prevents a
close estimate OF revenues from tariff
duties collected. Merchants will not buy
goods not actually needed when they ex-
pect the duties on them Will be lowered
or put on the free list. The practical
effect OF this is to reduce the customs
revenues.
1t is already felt at the Treasury De-
partment that the revenue for this
month is being less 80 far than for the
same part of the corresponding month
of last year.
The expenses however, must continue
at the same rate until July 1st, being
regulated by congressional enactments
which cannot be repealed before the next
fiscal year.
The sugar bounty this year will reach
$40 600 600, an Increase over last year OF
50 $50. .OOO This will all have been paid by
March 4, 1888.
The pension outlay Is increasing with
each month, and 1t is anticipated that this
month it will reach sl5,O0O,0O0, and grow
ing each month for the next three years.
until it will take SIS S00O. 5000 or SIC, 600
month to pay pensions. These pensions
are fixed by general laws. In view of the
condition that prevails Secretary Foster
says there VIII be n deficiency this year
and probably a larger one next year.
TO meet this. he says, he would not be
surprised if taxes were increased or else
appropriations for public buildings and
rivers and harbors Improvement aban-
doned and work suspended.

PROPOSED PAPAL LEIGHTON.
No Ground, However, on Which One
Could be Maintained Here.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE dispatch
from Rome printed this morning con-
cerning the establishment Of a special
United States lagation at the Vatican ana
the reception at Washington Of a Papal
nunco, was shown Secretary OF State
Foster to-day.
He said he had no intimatlon even that
such action was being considered by the
Vatican officials, and added that In the
very nature Of the case no communica-
ton would be made to this administra-
tion. He said he knew of no ground on
which diplomatic intercourse with the
Vatican could be maintained, the Pope
having no temporal power.
The department records show that the
Vatican has never had a minister to thA
United States. but until deprived of his
temporal power it maintained Papal
consuls at several points. These ceased
their functions when the temporal power
of the Pope was absorbed by the Italian
Kingdom in 1868.
