A SECOND DECREE.
POPE INSISTS UPON THE
KNIGHTS or PYTHIAs ORDER.
Some Bishops Have Seen FIT not &c
Obey the December
Order.

Washington, June IA second de-
cree has been received from Rome
the obligation If Catholics
to remain out of the knights OF
Pythias organization. 1t states that
there appears to be no further reason
why the decree Of last December
should not be made public in all dl-
8 1eses ana all arch-bishops and bishops
are accordingly directed to promnlgate
the decree without further delay.
When the decree was first issued, the
head of each diocese was given two
months within which to publish it or
else to make known to Rome in writ
ing what special circumstances existed
why the publication should be de-
ferred. Most heads of the dioceses
have since published the decree, but
as unofficial information reached Rome
that some bishops had not yet acted,
this second decree was issued.

steadfaetly refused to make any dec
