HOUSE OF LORDS.
Anti-CathoIic Declaration in King Ed
 wards Oath is Discussed.

London, February 22.-Lord Salisbury, in the House of Lords today, referring to the anti-Catholic declaration contained in the oath which King Edward took at the opening of Parliament, said that though he deplored the language in which the declaration is couched, it must be remem- bered that the enactment represented the passions and feelings of the period when it was adopted. The passions of Parlia- ment now are not so strong. but there were undoubtedly parts of the country where the controversies which the dec- laration represented still flourished and where the emotions which 1t produced had not died out. If the legislation was un- dertaken it ought to be started in the House of Commons, and he was not cer- tain but that strong feelings might be aroused there. r.

A COMPLETE STATEMENT.
A Bulletin that Fully Explains
Mrs. McKinley's Illness
Frc-1 Its Beginning.
IT HAD SO FAR BEEN HELD IN ABEYAHCE.
The Case at Present Affords Ground
for Hope of Recovery, and the
President FeIls Considerably En-
couruEcd-FioSyers and Gifts for
Mrs. Mckinley on Her Birthday.

Washington,Ju 9.-Mrs. Mckinley s
physicians We're in consultation about
two hours to-day, and subsequently
very complete statement of the true
character of the illness from which
she has been suffering was issued.
Such a statement had been promised
from time to time, and while in San
Francisco it was suid that the presi-
dent desired a fuller announcement
of the nature of Mrs. McKinley's ILL.,
ness given to the public. But, for one
reason or another, it has been with
held up to the present time. The
bulletin is as follows:
THE cause of Mrs. McKinley's ill
ness has been a blood infection, re-
sulting from periostitis of the index
finger (bone felon), which began in
Los Angeles and which was promptly
treated by incision. The subsequent
condition of exhaustion was due to
with a severe diarrhoea. She improved,
however, and was brought home in
comfort end without loss of strength.
The principal cause of anxiety in her
case since her arrival in Washington
has been acute endocarditis Gnfam-
nation of the lining membrane of
the heart), involving the mitral valve,
the result of the same blood infec-
ton. This does not appear to be pro-
gressiye, and there has been an inn
proven ent in the diarrhoea and in her
general condition. Mrs. McKinley's
case at the present time presents
more cheerful aspect"
The statement that Mrs. McKinley's
Ease at this time presents a more
hopeful aspect is the best word that
has come from the sick room since the
arrival of the distinguished patient
in Washington. The president feels
considerably encouraged. To-day was
Mrs. McKinley's birthday, and many
beautiful flowers and gifts were left
at the White House for her.
