The VATICAN THREATENED.
Notified by Rudini That Catholics
Must BE Permitted TO Participate
In Public Elections.

Rome. April T7.-Maravis di Rudini. the
prime minister. has appraised the vatican
that the exequaturs hitherto accorded 10
Italian bishops will be withheld unless the
pope permits Catholics to take part In
public elections. The papal authorities re-
gard this notification as part OF the new
tactics of the dre.bund In connection with
the mission Of DR.. Krauss, who was sent
TO the vatican by Prince HohenIohe, the
German chancellor, and the recent inter-
views of the German emperor with with
Cardinal San Felice at Naples. The pope
will not, II IL said. consent TO enter into
any negotiations whatever on the subject.
The relations existing between the vatican,
and the Quiiinai are intensely strained,
and this communicates from the pre-
mier. which is In the nature of a threat,
may p~recipitate a crisis.

WILL NOT RETIRE. l.
MIR. Reed viii Continuc i'm Pablo
Life i'm Any Event.

Washington, April 1I-An unquali-
fed denial is made by Speaker Reeds
friends of the report that he proposes
retiring from public life at tho close of
his present term and engaging I'm the
practice OF law In New York. The story
was published in Washington and was
telegraphed to a number of the out-of-
town papers. Mr.. Reeds friends declare
that there is no basis for the report. as
Mr.. Reed Is entirely satisfied with his
legislative work and would not resign
IL for many times the income IL yields
him. AS speaker of the house he draws
a salary of s.. 900. which Is 81, 900 in ex-
cess of that drawn By other members
OF the house and the equal OF tina
which the vice president receives.
Moreover. he probably will continue to
hold the office in the next congress.
Six years ago Reed seriously contem-
plated a retirement to private life. He
was filled with the desire, common to-
most public men, who are not rich. TO
engage in the practice of law and accu-
mulate a fortune. Had he done so he
would have selected New York city as
the base Of his opera tions. and he would
doubtless have been successful. While
ne is known generally as "a brilliant de-
batter, and the republican leader In the
house, he is also a lawyer OF excellent

sented 10 him. however. that he would
be compelled, necessarily. 10 sever his
connection with his Maine friends and
that whatever success might await him
at a metropolitan bar. IL would not com
pensate him for the sacrifice he would
make In cutting loose from old associ-
ations and burying himself in a large
city. where he would be only one OF
hundreds Of men az ability: whereas In
Maine he was vas with n or two ex-
ceptions easily the most prominent man
