washington, February 2l.-The report
OF the house Judiciary committee on thu
status of General Wheeler and other
members of the house holding army com.
missions was presented today. The es.
sehtiai tacts We're given at the time the
committee reported its conclusion to de-
clare vacant the seats OF Representative
wheeler and others. In addition to this
the report gives the views of the commits
sion on the questions involved
~ says That at the present time when
the patriotic impulses of our people are
aroused, 1T may seem unpatriotic to ques-
tion the course of a member who leaves
MS seat to go on the field of battle But
against this there is the plain language Of
the constitution and the manifest dangers
that would follow any other course. II
one general of the army could be taken
from the senate or. the house then the
report argues that with the question Of
constitutionality settled, the whole legisr
lature could be transformed into baud
or military officials. The ncompatibliy
or serving In congress and in the army
ana the bad public policy involved are
also dwelt upon. 1t is argued. however,
that the constitutionality does not apply
to members holding places on the Ha-
Wailan and other commissions. In conclu-
sion the report submits resolution de-
claring that Representative Wheeler OF
Alabama, Colson of Kentucky and Camp
bell of Illinois vacated their seats" as
representatives and ceased to be members
of the house on the date they accepted
military Offices and are not now members
of the Fifty-ffth congress Of the United
States.

dangers Catholicism.
| Rome, February 81 Tho letter. which
occupied five columns in the osservatore

bons and the American Catholics.

pope wishes them 10 see in the present
document another proof of bis affection for
America,
| While he makes 1t clear that the letter
rs one of warning and correction with
| reference to the Life OF Father Hecker,"
his holiness carefully distinguishes be-
tween the doctrinal aspects of the new
theories and questions of practical dis
cplines and urges the mpossibility OF
any change in the former. While admit

End acted upon the necessity of adapting
certain points OF discipline to modern re-
quirements it rests with the church. the
pore points out and not with individuals
to determine how and when such adap-
lions can be made.
All virtues, says his holiness, must nee
essarily be active. The contempt shown
by innovators for what they are pleased to
call passive virtues" has naturally led
TO a contempt of religious life as suited
only to the weak and as an impediment to
Christian perfection and to the good of
the community.
This error the pope energetically con-
demns, declaring it injurious to the re-
lipious orders and in contradiction TO his
tory
He reminds the Americans of their in
debtedness TO the religious orders, both
active and comtempiatiye.
The letter arouses deep interest in
Rome. The liberal papers declare that 1t
constitutes a solemn manifestation OF in
TRANSLUCENT peril of Catholicism and pre-
diets that it will produce an immense eff
