lie Alluded to the Reformers In an
Ironical way.
New YoRK, Feb. 25.-The attempts
made to prevent Colonel Robert Inger
soil from delivering his lecture on "The
Holy Bible at the Hoboken theater
Sunday night proved a failure. AS the
result Of protest issued by the pastors
Of three of the most prominent churches
in that place Mayor Pagan Saturday is.
sued orders that the theater be closed
Sunday, thereby practically debarring
Colonel Ingersoll from appearing. The
mayors decree ocCasioned a great deal
of comment, with the result that the
matter was reconsidered.
Corporation Attorney Minturn and
Mayor Pagan called upon the Rev. H.
T. Beatty--the minister who is at the
head and front of the reform movement
in Hoboken-and stated TO him that it
was the opinion of the corporation at.
torney that no steps could be taken by
the authorities to stop the lecture. A
consultation was held in the office of
Chief of Police Donovan at which, in
addition to the chief, the mayor and
Mr.. Clark, manager for Colonel Inger.
soil, and Mr.. Davis, the manager OF he
theater were present. The two mana.
gers were informed of the decision of
the corporation attorney and they de.
parted with the assurance that the lee.
ture might take place.
To prevent any disturbance on the
part OF the audience and also to stop
any blasphemous utterances ON the part
of the lecturer, Detectives Nelson and
Gallagher were sent to the theater from
police headquarters. Beyond frequent
bursts of applause the audience was
most orderly and the speaker stuck tC

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Today the
house entered upon the last week of the
session, and the usual rush which char.
acterizes the closing hours Of every ses
sion of congress began. Under the
rules the last six days of every session
are suspension days and members rec
ognized may call up bills and have
them acted on under suspension of the
rules. There are 33i public bills on the
calendar, 2l7 Of which must be consid.
cred in committee Of the whole, and la
on the regular calendar
In addition to these there are over 500
bills on the private calendar. or course
only very insignificant percentage of
these bills can be passed, but the press for
precedence will be terrific any many ex.
citing scenes are almost sure TO occur.
It is quite probable that several night
sessions will be held and il is almost
certain that congress will remain in
continuous session from Saturday until
Monday next, on which day congress
expires by, limitation at noon. The
regular appropriation bills are unusu.
ally well advanced so far as the house
is concerned.
The senate programme for the re-
mainder OF the session is to follow the
sundry civil bill, with the legislative,
executive and judicial bill and then to
take up the naval bill, and lastly the
general deficiency appropriation bill.
While it is understood that there will
probably be spasmodic attempts to get
up other measures of general import.
ance, the best opinion is that none Of
these will be successful in cases where
there is objection.
The probabilities include night ses.
sons every night after tomorrow, con.
Saturday and Sunday and also q ses-
sion next Sunday during the day.
These, it is believed, will be held to
dispose Of the appropriation.bills, there
being many provisions in those remain
ing unconsidered, which lead to pro
longed debate.
Following is the status Of the appro
priation bills: Approved by the presi

COLUMBUS, Feb. 25.-Rt. Rev. John
A. Watterson, bishop Of the Columbus
diocese, addressed big meeting Of the
Y. M. @. A. Sunday. This was the
first time In history that Catholic
clergyman had addressed meeting
under the auspices Of the Y. M. Q. A.,
and naturally IL attracted wide atten-
ton. When the bishop advanced onto
the platform the applause amounted to
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 espec.
tally papal bull in the beautiful china
shop Of the Y. NJ. g A. The climax
of his eloquent address was reached in
the following passage:
"While am uncompromising in the
matters of my faith and inflexible in
those lines of conduct which depend on
the principles of faith, and while
would deserve the contempt and scorn
OF every right.minded man if / 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 fel.
lowmen, no doctrine which interferes
with my allegiance to the government
and laws of my country. On the con.
trary, know that the whole teaching
and the whole spirit of my religion re.
quire me to be true to my country and
its government, and to promote its
honor by the faithful discharge of all
the duties of American citizenship, and
all of you would know it too, if you
knew my religion as well as do. ."
