His Action in Forbidding Of Car
rying Of Host in Procession
Still Subject Of Discussion.
OLD LAW MAY BE REPEALED
Question Almost Certain to Come III.
In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In No Danger.

London, Sept. ti,--The prclatcs and
clergy who came to London to attend
the eucharistic congress which ended
yesterday, scattered today to the four
points of the compass. The party. in
Guiding the papal legate, Cardinal Vim
cent Vannuteli and Cardinal Gibbons,
went to Arundel castle, the magnificent
home OF the Duke of Norforlk, as the
guests uf the duke at big house party.
Cardinal Gibbons was to leave Arun-
del castle tomorrow for Ireland. and he
will sail for Queenstown Oct. ] for New
York.
Premier Asquiths action in placing
I. 4 ban on the ceremony Of carrying the
host In yesterdays procession Is still
the subject of general discussion in
London and the question Is asked,
What will its political effect be?"
This evenings newspapers are prac-
tically unanimous in saying that a
modification III the plans for the pro-
cession was not necessary and now
that attention has been drawn to it,
they say the law which was invoked
SHOULD be repealed, contcnding as the
Pail Mall Gazette put it that English
Professionalism is able to protect itself
without resort to rusty weapons from
tIle iIIeuleNdl arllOFy.
Those paners which do think the pre-
mier we'll advised In stopping the car
rying of the host in the procession, on
the ground that it might have caused
serious trouble In the streets criticize
his delay in not acting until the last
moment and also his effort to induce
Archbishop Bourne to act without mak-
ing his action public.
Lord Edmund Talbot already has an
int to,, ;.t,,
question In parliament and other Cath
Ole peers and members of the house of
commons Will move for the repeal OF
the law and also for the elimination OF
the soveregns oath from the declara-
ton against Catholicism
At Newcastle, where a bye-election
is now going on To replace Thoma s
Cairns, deceased, the governments de-
cision is considered uncalled for and
should make Catholics, of whom there
ara a large number in the constltu-
ency, even of home rulers, vote against
the Liberals. With the English priests
the decision quite overshadowed their
qualification at the freedom allowed
them during the week. The Irish priests
were more reticent, but it is learned
they hope for strong political action
by the Nationalist. 1t will be inter-
estins to watch whether the action of
Premier Asquith vii affect the support
John Redmond has heretofore given to
the Liberals.
Cardinal Vannutelli, before his de.
parturf for Arundel castle. said that
the action of the premier had done the
Catholic cause good, as It evoked SYM
| pathy. He was particularly gratified
by the tone of the London papers re-
| garding it.
