SELDOM so MUCH UNCERTAINTY.
Differences in Congress Regarding
a Policy.

A session of Congress has seldom opened
with SO much uncertainty as to what is be-
fore it, Usually there is something definite
to be done in line with a policy previously
formed. Now there is difference of opin-
ion as to most things on the part Of those
who are responsible for forming a policy,
and there is, cs WELL conflict between
what most people think ought to be done
and what there is any possibility of doing.
I. is fully recognized that in the economy
of legislation-so far there Is such a
thing-the policy Of the house Is shaped by
the Speaker. In most things of Importance
his ideas are apt to prevail-especially when
Mr.. Reed is Speaker. 1t has already come
to be pretty generally understood that Mr..
Reeds judgment is that this session should
be kept pretty strictly down to routine bus
iIeSs, and that a short session should be
aimed at. 1t is understood that he has no
sympathy with the effort to have Congress
interfere in the Cuban matter and that he
does not think 1t wise to attempt general
financial reform at this time. He would, 1t
is understood, have this session marked
for it's conservatism and it's business-like
promptness.
1t is quite evident. however, that the
spirit of Congress is not so conservative.
The Cuban sentiment is strong, and there
is quite a powerful faction who are deter
mined to make fight for financial legisla-
ton. The latter have the support of the
President in his recommendation Of legis-
lation. The Cuban sympathizers have not
this executive support for action.
With the President and the Speaker both
opposed to action as to Cuba, the sentiment
of the House is apt to be held in check, UNI
less something unforeseen happens in Cuba.
But with division OF opinion on the policy
with respect to attempting financial legis-
la ton, there is no telling what may be done.
There is likely to be considerable agitation
of both questions before the session is old
The question of enforcing economy of
appropriations is one which will probably
occupy the Speaker very seriously and one
which will be difficult to deal with. Some
men in both houses of Congress are urging
the necessity for additional revenue legisla-
ton. They say that an abundant revenue
must be had at once. and are urging an in
crease of the beer tax.

INDIAN HANDIWORK.

Mt Woodward 4 LOthrOp's.

The handiwork Of the American Indian

The collection consists of rugs. robes, Gu
rios and den furnishings, all of which were

ter of information, as well as education,
are we'll worth visit.

crowds of people have gone to see it, A
large portion of the third floor on the 10th

tanning articles of many varieties, hues
and shapes. A great deal of interest Is
conferred in the brilliant colored rugs made
by the Navajo Indians, which are of de-
cidedly uncommon design and totally DIFF
ferent from our own rugs of today. There
Is also 2 wide range of Pueblo Indian pot
terry. in all shapes and designs, which are
ell worth seeing.
II does not need the expert archaeoiogiSt

inexperienced will be equally pleased. capt.

RumOr That He Has Been rendered a
PrOfessOrship.

PrOfessOrship.
A dispatch from Berlin states that the
Prussian minister of education and ecclesi-
astical affairs has appointed Mgr. Schroe-
der of the Catholic University to the fac
ulty of the Catholic Academy at Muenster,
the capital of Westphalia. Nothing is
known OF this appointment at the univer-
sity. 1t is thought, however, that the dis
patch is correct.
A dispatch from Rome to the Philadel-
phia Press. dated yesterday, Is to the effect
that the pope lis about to publicly an
nounce the transfer CT the University of
Washington from the control and supervI-
sion of the propaganda to the congregation
of studies, which is a committee Of car
dinals and prelates presided over by Car
dinal Satolli.
1.-The compliment to the United States in
the matter is to be found in the fact that
America has until now been regarded as
being inpartibus infidelium, and as a mis-
sionary or heather country, and as such
subject to the great missionary department
here, known as the propaganda.
by transferring the Washington uniyer-
sity to the congregation Of studies, Leo
XIII practically places the United States
upon the same level with the full-fledped
Catholic countries of Europe, which are
exempt from the control Of the propaganda
and which deal with the holy father d.
