 That as members of the church we recognize His Holiness, Leo XIII. is now the duly elected, lawful and visible head and ruler thereof, and that to him alone belongs the right of administering the temporal sovereignty of the same and that whoever else intrudes himself upon the territory of that church to assume con- trol thereof effects only 8 forceable usurpation and sacriligious violation of the sovereign rights of the church therefore loyal Catholics can never rest content until that sovereignty be so re- stored, that at least in Rome, the Holy Father may have and enjoy an absolute and sovereign independence, and exercise therein supreme and national control"
 The resolutions were passed with cheers and applause.
 The will be duly engrossed and sent to Pope Leo. Archbishop Corrigan read these telegrams.
 To CARDINAL RAMPoLLA,

WAYLAlD AND ROBBED.
Experience of 8 Resident of SOutl
 Brooklyn.

Experience of Resident of South Brooklyn.
 On last Sunday evening Calno Phillips, young married man living on South Leonard street, was on his way to his home when he was set upon, knocked down and robbed. He tells the story that he had been visiting rela- tiens and had taken some drink, but was not by any means intoxicated, He was taking short path home by way of the New England track along which he had gone some distance when he noticed that three men were coming along after him in the same direction, | No suspicious were aroused as many people in south Brooklyn walk along this same track going and coming from their homes. When he reached the come up with him and, he says, he was turning out to let them pass. The rest is blank to him until he awoke and found himself in the little shanty at the junction, Mon day morning, about 6 o'clock. There he learned that he had been picked up and brought to the shanty, the previous evening about 8 o'clock, by two men, who said they had found him lying on the track, with his head resting on one of the rails, just few minutes before freight train came along. Philips thinks that he had been drugged, and the operator seemed to take the same view of the case. He had two Jumps on his head and his neck was slightly cut. After a time he walked home and on Tuesday was able to go to work. To reporter he said that the only motive he could assign for such an assault was robbery, as fifteen dollars had been taken from his pockets, which were left turned inside out. He re- marked in answer to a question, as to why he did not inform the police, that he was unable to give any description or in any way identify the parties who had assaulted him.

JERSEYS EXHIBITS
Her Citizens Object to the Fair
 Being Open on Sunday.
FLOODED WITH PETITIONS,
Tue New Jersey Legislative Committee
 Gives Hearing.

Dr. Mott, Representing the Presbyterian
 Synod of the State, Referred to the Fact
 That all the Exhibitions From the Crys.
 tai Palace in 1851 to the Paris Exhibi.
 tiOn in 1891 Closed Their Exhibits on
 Sunday.
 TRENTON, N. J., March 3.-Several del egations were at the State House yester- day to enter their protests against the opening of the gates of the Colum- bian Exposition at Chicago on Sunday. The delegation was composed mostly of members of the Sabbath School Union of the Presbyterian Synod of New Jersey and Womens' Christian Temperance Union
 For the past three weeks the Legisla- ture has been flooded with petitions on the subject and the special committee to which they have been referred held a meeting yesterday at which the protests were heard.
 Dr. R. A. Mott, president of the Sab bath Union and representing the Pres byterian Synod of New Jersey, spoke at some length on the subject. He re- ferred to the fact that all the English exhibitions from the Crystal Palace in 1851 until the Paris exhibition in 1881 had closed their exhibits on Sunday. In many of the countries where the expo- sitions were held there was no observ- ance of the Sabbath, but the example set by the American and English people was so great that many of the other countries followed.
 The only real argument that he had heard advanced in favor of opening the gates on Sunday was that it benefited the working man. To his mind it was just the opposite. If the gates were opened the working people would be compelled to work, and thus they would be deprived of their day of rest. It would not make any material difference to working men outside of Chicago, for if they could afford to go to the fair they would go to remain over Sunday.
 Col. James s. Yard, of Freehold, en- dorsed the words of Dr. Mott and added, that he considered the opening of the gates on Sunday the entering wedge to get seven days work for six days pay out of the laboring man.
 L. D. Taylor, of Belvidere, the speaker of the delegation from that city, made spirited address against the opening of the gates on Sunday. He said the tax payers did not offer any protest against the appropriation of $70,000 for the use of the Commissioners, but they came before the legislature in the hopes that the sentiments of the moral people of the State, voiced through the mouth of their lawmakers, might have some weight with the persons in charge of the Exposition.
 Rev. Walter S. Brooks, representing the ministers of Trenton, spoke briefly on the subject He said that he did not ask for the closing of the gates on relig- ious grounds, but on the ground that it would be benefit to the workmen.
