breaches Under the Auspices OF the
Y. NJ. G. A.

\. VI. Z. n.
Columbus, Ohio. Feb. 24.-Rt. Rev.
John A. Watterson, bishop of the Co
lumbus diocese, addressed a big meet
ing of the Y. NJ. c. A. today As
many persons as gained admittance to
the hail were turned away, This was
the first time In history that a Catholic
clergyman had addressed a meeting
under the auspices OF the Y. NJ. c. A.,
and naturally 1t attracted wide atten-
ton. The bishop spoke for an hour and
a half on Christian citizenship, the au-
dience being held in rapt attention
and frequently breaking into applause,
When the bishop advanced on the plat
form the applause became an ovation,
and he thanked the audience for their
generous welcome. 1t showed him, he
said, that they did not regard him as
bull in china shop, and especially
papal bull in the beautiful china shop
of the Y. NJ. c. A. The eloquence OF
his address was shown in the following
passage:
while / am uncompromising in the
matter of my faith and infiexible in
those lines Of conduct which depend
upon the principles OF faith, and while
1 would deserve the contempt and the
scorn of every right-minded man II l
were recreant to my conscience In those
things which / hold as truths, yet
know of no doctrine of the Catholic
church which prohibits or prevents me
from working for the good of my fell
lowmen; no doctrine which interferes
with the allegiance to the government
and laws of my country. On the con-
trary, know the whole teaching and
whole spirit OF my religion require me
TO be true TO my country and Its gov
eminent and to promote its honor by
the faithful discharge Of all the duties
OF the American citizenship. and all of
you would know II, too, If you knew
my religion as well as l do. loud

what VIII Probably. lie Done This
Week.
Washington, Feb. 2i.--Tomorrow the
house enters upon the last week of the
session. and the usual rush which chnr-
acterizes the closing hours OF every
session Of congress- win begin
Under the rules the laat six days OF
every session are suspension days and
members recognized may call up bills
ana have them acted on under auspcn-
sion OF the rules. There nro 331 public
bills on the calendar, 2i7 Of which must
be considered IN committee OF the whole
and ia on the regular calendar. In
addition to these are over 900 bills on
the private calendar. or course only
very insignificant per centage or these
bills can be passed, but the press for
precedence will be terrific. and many
exciting scenes are almost sure TO
occur. II is quite probable that several
night sessions VIII be hold, and II In
almost certain congress will remain IN
continuous session from Saturday un-
III Monday next, on which day con-
gress expires by Limitation at noon.
The regular appropriation bills are
unusually wen advanced, 50 far as the
house is concerned. only one the deli
clency) being Enacted upon, and II win
go 10 the senate tomorrow The two
which are considered dangerouH-that
Is, liable to fan. or TO be vetoed, are
the sundry civil bill and the diplomatic
and consular. To the former the sem
ate committee ON finance has reported
an amendment TO the 3 per cent coin
bonds. with a provision requiring the
secretary OF the treasury to advertise
for bids IN case Of another bond issueA
To the diplomatic and consular, the
senate has added the amendment for
the Hawaiian cable. II these proyis-
Ions prevail, despite the protest OF the
house, it Is thought that President
ClevelaEd'may veto them.
The committee on Pacific roads In
waiting for an opportunity to secure n
vote ON the funding bill AZ amended,
and the committee ON public buildings
Is equally insistent upon It's demand for
q chance to settle the question OF the
printing office site, which has been
hanging fire for several years. II is
probable the committee on rules VIII
give both time TO urge the coming week
In case opportunity offers,
As whole, the week promises to DO
both interesting and exciting.
