executing the Catholc church edict against
membership In the Knights of Pythlas , Odd
I ' elows and other societies Is now recelvtng
the careful consideration or the church
althorltes , Igr ' : Satol has transmitted
the decision 10 the heads of all dioceses
throughout the country , and 1 remains for
thorn to convey I to parish IJrlelts , and for
the latter to give It practical application and
cxecuUon. each having conshlerhle latItude
as to how he shal act No tme is Ect
within which the heads oC dioceses may
act Some already have notified their par- ,
ish prIests to read time prohibItion to congc-
gatons tomorrow with the annu'mcoments
prccelnR } masses. Other bishops have not
required a public annOuncement to the con-
gr gutons , as tuG cctmnmnimnItations frm
Home arid from Mgr. Satol do not direct a
formal Ilblcaton , and they make It ef-
fect\'o largely through the confestonal. I
therefore , may take some' tIme for the papal
decree 10 become flly electve , and to reach
those prrsbns' ' 'who' ' continue 'their ' 'member-
'kimip- II' secret so letes aUcr"the order"'o t

not < lken neccasai'liy more than once il year ,

There are published lists or the members
oC the Knlhts of Pythlas and other socie-
ties . so that Catholc , members of them are
readily ascertainable. Should these membera
remain away from confession beyon a year
they would thereb cut themlves off from
the church. I they attended conCession
they wommld voimmntarily abandon their

would be wihheld , This wOlld also oper.
ate to cut off the church member from com-
Ilnlon , anti , therefore , from' membership
In the church. No formal excommunicaton
would be requisIte. I Is pointed ont that
the church decision will bo most hnportant
In Jleellin Catholics rrom jelling the pro

gress hns been revived at the capital by the
contingencies whIch mr arise out of the
faiimmre' Of necessary leglsla'ion 10 pnss at the
preermt sslon. 1pon two penlln bills , I
Is generally bele\11 iiinge3 . the qucston or
whether : Ir , Cleveland will convoke the neW .
congress socn after the lleath of tIme 1tfty-
third on March I. I Thest two bills are tie
urgent deficiency approllrlalon hill , which
contains time allilropriaton for caryIng the
Incole tax Into erect , and which Is pending
In time senate and the Carlisle currency bill ,
which Is under debate In the house , "nd tine
fate of which will be decided soon ar , r the
house reconvenes January 3. The opponents
or the Incolt tax , led , I Is understood , by
Senators 111 and Quay , wilt make u lIes-
perato fghl In the senate , and wi ! l'h.lust
every parliamentary expedient to' efeat It.
! r , Quay I Is said , has added largely to the
accumulated speech with which ht proposed
talking the tariff bill to death last session
unless certain chanRes were made In thl
wool schedule , arid hi prepared for a long
siege lie has already enough manuscrIpt , I
Is said , to cOlsume a month's time of the
senate , antI with proper supprt believes ho :
efforts or the income tax opponents wi be
suecesful , ; Ian ) ' democrtc members of the
senate , however , affect to believe Ihat the
Illmato defeat or time lull before adjournment
Is impossible. If it should fail extr\
tnposslble I shaull fal an extrses -
sion would be imperative If the ndmtnlstr
ton proposes to male time Income tax op-
erall'e ,
The clrrency bill , offered by the atimnlmmIs -
( ration as n means or partially releving the
treasury , Is regarded as of Ilaramou.lt Importance -
portance The condition or the treasur Is
critcal The gold reserve Is dwindling rap
Idly , and another bond Issue Is regarded as
Inevitable IC nothing Is done to prevent mime
prcsent drain or gold. Mr. Cleveland . It Is
unlerstood ( on high authority , ts very much
In earliest In his desire for some leglsl
lon at this session to relieve the treasury
and If I Is not forthcoming there are many
who believe he wi Imniedlately convoke
the FitY-fourth congress ali ask the needed
relief of his political adversarIes.
I must not be forgotten , however , thai
there are many of the republean leaders
oprsed to any tactics which will n\ale \ an
extra session 'neclssary. They believe . from
a political standpoint , that It would he bad
policy , and will not encourage or even ab :
any move looking to that end. Shoull Mr
Ceveland cal an extra session he would be
the second president since the war to conr
\'ene congress In extraordinary session twice
during his term of olce , Uaii Mr. Cleve-
U\1
land convened the extra session In August 'Jf
last year no extra session had been canned
since 1879 , when Mr Hares called an extraor-
dInary session two weeks after his In-
ammgtmrationm. That session was forced hy se\-

In alldlton to thus the national commilec
adopted the following resoluton :
