EUCHARST
CONGRESS
London Witnesses Great Cath
olic Procession.
With Exception of Some Isolated Jeer
ing, Ceremony Is Not Interfered
With Number of Persons Faint In
Crush of Big Crowds.
A great procession of the Catholic
clergy In I.0111I011, which brought
the eucharlstlc congress to nn end,
was held unili scenes such as the Eng
lish churchmen who planned It had
never anticipated. Cnrdlnal Vnn
nutelll, the pope's legate, walked at
the head of the procession, wearing
his scarlet robes and hat. Hewas
followed by the body of English peers
and n concourse of cardinals, arch
bishops and bishops, who also were at
tired In unceromonial robes Instead ol
vestments, which originally It had
been proposed they should wear.
No such throngs of people have
been teen In Ijoudon since Queen Vic
toria's funeral, If oven then. The pur
pose or Archbishop Uourne, the head
of the Westminster diocese, had boon
to have the host carried through the
streets In tho vicinity of tho West
minster cathedral, so that the Catho
lics who were unable to participate in
any of the services within tho cathe
dral should have an opportunity of
Joining in the eucharistic observances.
ProtestantB "Boo" Procession.
The route of tho procession was
laid through the quiet streets adjacent
to the cathedral and but for the unex
pected partisan Btrifo which a dis
cussion of this ceremony brought on,
it probnbly would hnve been solemn
ized quietly. The great majority of
those who attempted to witness the
spectacle, however, apparently were
attracted by curiosity and a small part
were openly and demonstratively hos
tile. The Catholic element cheered
heartily while the procession passed
by, but there was heard considerable
"booing."
On their return to the cathedral the
prelates marched around the Interior
of the edlilce, the legate carrying the
host, as he would have done In tho
streets had the government not Inter
posed nn objection.
