AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
JUBILEE PROCESSION IN COMMEM-
GRAFTON OF HOLY YEAR.
Resumption OF Traffic on the Canal
Every Boat in Use-Generai
and Personal.

1t is understood that Jubilee procession
in conmemoration of the holy year as re-
quired by Pope Leo, will be given by the
congregation of Trinity Church. No date
has been selected for the event, but an
nouncement of a day will most likely be
made in a short time. The question was
suggested by the pastor, Rev ]. F. Y.
Mulvaney, S. j., at a recent meeting Of the
sodalty. 1t is proposed to start the pro-
cession from ST. Aloysius Church, Wash
ington, the members of the Georgetown
congregation meeting at that edifice, and
marching in body to the churches which,
according to the selection, are required to
be visited. In order to gain the fruits Of
the celebration 1t is necessary for the In
dividuals to visit the four churches fifteen
times in one day, making total of sixty
visits; but by the jubilee professions the
pilgrims have only to visit the churches in
procession for three times. The announce
ment of the proposed program meets with
approval Of all the congregations inter-
ested.
Canal Traffic Resumed.
The traffic on the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal is now well under way and boats
laden with coal are on their way to George
town, several arriving this morning. The
first through boat of the season from Cum
berland, carrying cargo of coal, reached
Georgetown Monday, having left Cumber-
land March %. The consignment was to
H II. keedy. A number of others have
also arrived, coming from points between
this place and Cumberland and carrying
miscellaneous cargoes.
At the present time about every boat on
the canal is in use, and before the end Of
this week large procession is ex-
pected here. There is prospect of a
busy season, all indications of a strike
among the miners in the Cumberland field
jseo,. mod aotp f1,A
opening period the strike seriously inter-
fered with the traffic and tonnage. The
past winter has been quite favorable one
to the canal company.
