Manila, Jan. 3O.--Ten thousand Cath
Ollie members of the Federal party,
citizens Of the district Of Binondo and
Manila. have resolved to completely
separate from the Vatican, believing
that the doctrines of Rome are detri-
mental to the progress of the country.
Those favoring the middle course pro-
posed the formation of a Filipino synod
and the throwing eff of spiritual tutel-
age. A majority, however, joined the
extremists in demanding complete
emancipation from Rome. leaving the
question of a new church to be decided
later.
The real trouble which is causing the
threatened schism does not lie with
the church. which is sincerely loved.
but with the friars. whose return to
the provinces, backed by Archbishop
Chappelle, is the cause of constant ag-
itatioE among the Filipinos. who are
rapidly absorbing liberal ideas. So
much has been written about the gen.
eral hatred of the friars here and
sincere desire of the enlightened Fill
ipinos for the complete separation OF
church and state that Americans must
realize the gravity of the situation
from a religious standpoint. The Fed
erals hold that the friars must not be
permitted to return to the provinces.
Catholicism, they say is essentially
and honestly loved, and the church
can accomplish the greatest good. but
not through the friars. Leading fed
erals respecting the strongest political
organization, which is rapidly spread
ing throughout the archipelago. seem
to be resolved upon the complete elm
ination of the friars or the renuncia'
ton of the Church of Rome. .

At. st. Paul's cathedral there was an
unusual scene. Before 9 o'clock in the

strains and mufled peal. The service
began at 1890. Most Rev. Frederick
Temple, primate and archbishop Oh

Cowes, Jan. 20. The mourners at
Osborne house gathered at noon yes
terday in the little flint and plaster
church at Whippingham. The bishop
of Winchester preached a simple,
touching sermon on he late queens
worth and example. He spoke Of the
presence of the great ruler of the
German peoples, who is simply taking
his place quietly as the grandson OF
Queen Victoria, thereby cementins ny
the force of sentiment, which Is keener
and further reaching than any force
on earth, the undying friendship of the
two great kindred branches of our

Rifle, Colo, Jan. 20. DR.. Gerald
Webb and Philip Stewart. the Colorado
Springs men who have been out with
Roosevelt on his lion hunting expedi-
ton, have arrived here from Meeker.
They say that the party has been hav-

joying it so well. that he has decided
to stay two or three weeks longer. He
had killed six large mountain lions and
three smaller ones w to h time these
gentlemen were obliged to return to
their homes and business. They say
the newspaper reports have been ex-
aggerated, but the governor placed the
muzzle of his gun into the mouth of a
big lion in order to pry 1t away from
the dogs after they had all but killed
it. He then finished the beast with his

lowed up the street by the hooting,
