RESENT TROOPS REMOVAL.
Scotland Aroused Over Plans for Fa-
nous Crews.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram TO The Star
GLASGOW. December 1.-THE resent
ment in Scotland at the removal OF the
Scots Greys from the Piershil barracks,
Edinburg. is increasing daily. large
number of letters have been sent to the
newly-elected lord provost of Edinburg,
asking him to call another citizens meet
ing to protest against the action Of the
government. 1t is probable that nothing
of the kind in years has so startled the
people Of Great Britain and ireland as the
recent utterances of Lord Rosebery to the
effect that If things like the removal OF
the Scots Greys were to continue it might
be well for the people of Scotland to in
quire into the advantages of union with
England.
The Irish I'm their home rule declarations
have not gone farther than some of the
more excited Scots since they learned
of the removal of their favorite regiment.
1t is stated that the removal of the troops
is because of the fact that Piershill bar
racks are unhealthful and that the govern
ment is to abandon the barracks at Mary
hill, Glasgow. for similar reasons Stobs,
near Hawick, has been suggested as a
suitable place for cavalry station. 1t has
been proposed by the government that the
regiment be quartered at Tidworth on
Salisbury plain. with a battery of horse
cavalry, but military critics are pointing
out that such an arrangement can hardly
be considered more healthful than the bar
racks that have been objected to as in
sanitary,

Survey Work in Porto Rico.

The United States coast and geodetic sur
vey service steamer Endeavor, Capt Din
sell, which mad been employed since early
in the past summer in the survey work on
the coast of Maine, has returned TO Balti-
mere, arriving there Saturday last. The
Endeavor will be given an overhauling
which will require two or three weeks,
and early in the new year, it is stated,
will be sent to the coast of Porto Rico to
resume the survey work where she left
off last summer AS the greater part OF
the work done by the men on the vessels
of the coast survey service is in small boats
and on the open water. it is necessary to
assign the work in the different seasons
of the year TO climates where outdoor
work can be DONE For that reason the
survey work on the north Atlantic is done
in the summer and fall, and in southern
waters in winter and spring.

the 'scow was not damaged, and needed

Unchlistian and Atheistic.

Referring to the situation in France,
Father Hannah said:
There is no comparison between the re-
public of France and the republic of the
United States. At the head of the govern
ment OF this country are Christian gentle
men. but it is not so with the French re-
public. They are unchristian and atheis-
tic and hate the name of God. We citizens
of the United States live under flag that
stands for something, where the rights of
all Christian people are respected and
where liberty and justice to all creeds pre-
vail"
Father Humans remarks were greeted
with continued applause.
Mr.. William F. Downey followed, and
after a presentation of several phases of
the local temperance crusade ne, too, made
few remarks upon the condition of the
Catholics of France. The Catholics of the
United States of America propose to enter
our protest just as we did against the
treatment of the Jewish people by the Rus
sian government and We are going to ask
all lovers of humanity, irrespective of creed
or nationality. who love fair play to join us
