INTENSELY DRAMATIC SCENE.
The ExcommunicRted Priest. Father
Crowley, Dehes the Author
ity of the Bishop.

Chicago. Nes. 3.-There was an in-
tenseiy dramatic scene in Holy Name
Cathedral to-day, when, in the pres
ence of fully one thousand parishion-
ers, eJremiah J. Crowley, the exeom-
munieated Roman Catholic priest,
was publicly Inundated by order of
the authorities of the church.
Father Crowley had entered the
church unobserved, passing up the
center aisle, and had taken a seat al-
most under the pulpit. Solemn high
mass was being celebrated at the time.
When the presence of Father Crowley
became known, Rev. Francis ]. Bar
~. chancellor of the archdiocese of
Chicago, was hurriedly sent for. Upon
entering the cathedral he went
straight to the seat where the exeom-
municated clergyman Was kneeling
and ordered him to leave the church.
Father Crowley refused 10 go, say
ing:
Put me out if you dare"
The strain was intense, and one
woman tainted. There was no resort
TO force. however. Chancellor Barry
signalled to man in the choir loft,
aud the sound Of the organ ceased
and the singing of the choir was
hushed.
The priests in the altar stopped
the solemn service at the end of the
"Gloria" and walked to the benches
and laid aside their golden vest
ments. The altar boys marched out
of the sanctuary through a side door,
and the priests, clad in their cassocl1s,
followed. The next moment the hum
dreds of incandescent lights in the
yaulted arches were extinguished and
the candle lights ON the altar were
put out.
The strain was broken when Chan
cellor Barry appeared in the pulpit
and said:
Owing to the presence in this sa-
cred edifice of an communicated
priest the solemn high mass has been
suspended. We will proceed with a
low mass"
No sermon was delivered, however,
and the mass was at an end before
the congregation was calm again. The
parishioners fingered around the ca
thedral and watched the deposesl
priest as he hurried away. None
spoke to him.
In a statement issued last night Fa.
ther Crowley insisted that it had
been his desire to avoid involving any
of his brother priests in contesting
the order depriying him of the priv.
ilege of worshipping in Catholic
churches, and that. accordingly. he
had attended the church of Arch
bishop Feehan's own parish, which is
the cathedral.s He announced that he
should continue to attend the serv-
ices of the Roman Catholic church.

MINISTER WU'S RECALL.
Not Yet Received, But May Arrive
at Any Time-Wiu Return to
China Mnen Relieved.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Mr. WI, the
Chinese minister. returned TO the
city, last night, from his trip to Ann
Arbor, Mich, where he went to deliv-
er an address to the students. Re-
plying TO questions on the subject,
Mr.. WI said he had not received any
notice of his recall to China, a step
which Peking dispatch of Saturdays
date said had been determined upon,
nor had he received any intimation
that he would be asked to return. As
he has therefore expressed himself,
the minister would not be surprised
in the least if such action were con-
templated by his government, as he
now has served on the mission here
for more than year longer than the
customary time allowed by the for
eign office at any one place, viz, three
years. He is simply holding over
now. and his recall and the appoint
ment of a successor would be simply
in line with established practice.
Mr.. Nu's tenure has been very sat
isfactory to the administration, and
it is understood that it was through
representations of the officials here
conveyed to the Chinese government.
that il was continued.
When asked whether he would re-
turn TO China if he were recalled, Mr..
Wa replied with the following:
"Wby shouldn't /? All my interests
are there

SUPPLIES FOR INSURGENTS
Mostly Carried by small boats ON
Dark Nights-Capaure of Lus-
bnn's Commisknry.

Manila. Nov. 4.--Adyices from Cat
balogan, Samar, say il is well known
that in spite of the fact that all port 5
of Samar are closed, supplies still
reach the insurgents. Most of this
work is done during dark nights by
small boats from the island OF Leyte.
Every available gunboat is now en-.
deayoring to prevent this.
The capture of Lnsban's commits
sary has proved great blow 10 the
insurrection, as il renders future sup
plies very precarious.
Conditions in the island of Leyte
are very annoying to Gen. Smith. A
large number of junls are used with
the express object of aiding The insur-
gents in Samar. covering the move
ments of fugitives and landing pro-

students Of the university here last
might on the Tendencies Of the
Times" lie said in part;
II fully appreciate the excellence OF
your political, economical and edn-
entional systems. Too much can not
he. said iu praise OF the founders OF
this country for their foresight; but
excellent as are the systems they
founded. they are not yet perfectly
suited TO all times
"China lived too much In the pasl.
I am sorry for il. Her literature and
her government are relics OF the past.
They were all right when China was
isolated. but In these days Of prog
ress are inadequate forpresentneeds.
Mr.. Wa referred TO the strife which
is almost constantly being waged be-
tween capital and labor in this coun-
try, and said:
at is said that capital is antagonis-
tic TO labor. Why Is this SO? One is
essential TO the other, There should
be better appreciation of the value
of both Trusts and labor unions
should unite. Why should not dis
putes between capital and labor be
taken into the courts like civil suits
for settlement"
Referring to the immigration laws
Of the United States. Mr.. Wa said:
"Tbis country needs restrictive i'm
migration laws Of general scope and
not laws that single out one race.
The special laws against Chinese i'm
migration are the result of ignorance
of the facts.
'.China has $50. 100000 people, and
her immense territory Is able to sup
port this population. All Ciinamen
love home. and have a horror Of tray
cling abroad. All Cinnamon except
diplomats who leave China come from
the Province OF Quan Tung. The
Chinese barriers in this country
should be removed"
Mr.. Wa said that the treaty of 1888
was made 10 stop Chinese labor, but
since laws had been passed keeping
out Chinese merchants and trades
men; consequently the high and
worthy Chinese could not get into this
country. Mr.. WI said the best way
was 10 90 by the golden rule.

All Due Caution.

Washington. Nov. 3.-With the in.
formation so far in the possession Of
the marine hospital service authori-
ties as TO the outbreak of plague in
Liverpool and Glasgow, this govern.
ment does not regard these cities a.
infected ports. The utmost care,
however, is being exercised by Off.
eials here, TO prevent the plague from
entering Atlantic ports of the United
States through incoming vessels from
Liverpool and Glasgow. All such ar.
rivals will be subjected TO the most
rigid examination. The members of
crews of the vessels who are
more likely TO have been nearer the
scene of the outbreak than the ordi.
nary passengers, will be examined
with greatest care.

PLAIN TALK FOR FILIpINos.
Public Discussion of the Draft OF
the Act Against Treason
and ScdItIon.

Manila. Nov. 4.-rhere was pub
lie discussion before the Philippine
commission. yesterday. of the draft
of the act against treason and sedi-
tion. Many prominent Filipinos were
present. Nice-Gov Wright explained
the object of the bill saying that the
Spanish code was unsatisfactory.
There are number of people liv-
ing in the Philippines" remarked
Mr.. Wright who, SO long AS there ia
no punishment for treason, will take
advantage of the fact TO clog the
wheels of the insular government. 10
must not be overlooked that turbu.
lent spirits exist in the paciiied prov
inces. The masses of the people are
susceptible of infammatory utter
anees, and liable to be Influenced by
seheming demagognes. 1t would be
inexcusable weakness on the port of
the commission to allow the people TO
be aroused To deeds of violence who
are now gradually drifting 10 the pur-
suits of peace.
THE recent renewed attempts Mt
insnrrcction in the island of Samar
and the province of Batangas (Luzonl
and at few other points, due TO
noisy Filipino agitators, have caused
a feeling of unrest in the minds of
both Filipinos and Americans; and
the effect of their continuance would
be to make impossible the very
things these agitatdrs claim they
most desire. Such endeavors serve
to recruit the ranks of the insurgents
and 10 postpone the era of good feel
ing and fellowship which must come
NO excuse exists for secret po.
litical organizations. Their intent
must Ike evil. No matter what may
have been the opinions Of the Fiji
pinos regarding the sovereignty of the
American government, the fact re-
mains that the Americans are here,
and. moreover, here they intend 10
stay"
The bill was then rend in Spanish.
