Their Expulsion.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The friars of the
Philippines have found champion in the
Order of Foresters of St. Paul's Catholic
church of Chicago. Senator Cullom of
Illinois has presented the senate a, pro-
test from that organization against this
country's treatment of the religious or
der. The protest is couched in vigorous
language, and says:
We consider it not only an insult to
the GOO American Catholics in the
United States, but also a deplorable inn
prudence that in the appointment of the
Philippine commission by the govern
ment not a single Catholic has been
named, when TIE commission was made
to act IL the interest of the Catholic
population of the Philippine islands"
A special protest is made against
the placing of the Philippine schools III
the hands of non-Cathol1cs and of maxi
ing them Goddess schools The re-
ports of immortality on the part of the
friars are denounced as the inspiration
OF fanatical hatred, and a protest is en-
tered against the expulsion of the frials
from the islands.
