The prevailing cholera plague has almoKt

pilgrimage of English Catholics to thin
city, hut it has been postponed. The pope
caused word to be sent to London that it
would not advisable that the proposed trip
be made now. Hence the pilgrimage has
been postponed until further notice.
Nathan' Serious Blander.
The attack made by Mayor Nathan on
the Catholic church has Injured that of
ficial considerably. Except In socialist
nd anarchistic circles, It Is agreed that
Mr. Nathan took an unfair advantasre or
his position In making the address, which
waa made on the recent anniversary ot the
occupation of Rome by the Italian gov
ernment In 170.
Notwithstanding the defense of the so
cialist press, there can bo no two opinions
as to the extreme impropriety or in
mayor's utterances aa a public official,
since he went out of his way to Indulge
In tirade against doctrines of. the Catholic
church. Rome has long ceased to take
Htgnor Nathan and his speeches seriously,
and there vas a disposition to Ignore him,
but his address has been brought Into
grave prominence by the publication of a
letter from the pope, who replies in vigor
ous terms against an attack on the church
and religion, which was couched in words
blasphemous as well aa offensive, and de
livered by a publlo official in the per
formance of his duty.
Pop Seriously Protests.
The pop says Slgnor Nathan waa not
ttisfied with recalling the anniversary,
but also dared to offend the doctrines of
th Catholio faith and the church.
Ills holiness added: "Speaking In the
name of Rome, which, according io
authoritative statement, should be honored
aa th peaceful home of the supieme pon
tiff, Slgnor Nathan aimed directly at our
spiritual Jurisdiction, denouncing with Im
punity and holding up to public contempt
even the acts of our apostolic ministry."
Th letter further denounces the words
used by Slgnor Nathan against the divine
essence. of th church, the veracity of H
dogmas and th authority of its council.
Against tha. Implotles th pop indig

Som of th French bishops and clergy
believe that the recent papal decree fix

the irreligious element In France has the
upper hand. Some bishops fear the de
cree will destroy an opportunity for se
curing the religious education ' of 'the
young In this country. They may re
quest Pope Plus to reconsider his action.
As this particular matter Is on of church
discipline the holy father may defer the
enforcement of the f.ecree. A dogma of
faith one proclaimed by the pop must
stand, but a rule of conduct may be sus
pended, or even abrogated, should the
head of the Roman church deem It ad

In the phenomenon of politics in the em

a political force has reached the high

The party, flushed with success, lias
transcended the limits, of discussion on
public Questions by attacking religion, and
the Institution of marriage which Ger
mans, both Catholics and Protestants, re
gard as a sacrament. In their professed
efforts to regenerate, society the socialists
are attacking nearly every Institution,
sacred and otherwise. By this policy they
they have not only kept out men who
might otherwise affiliate with them, but
have driven from their ranks men who
believe in socialism as an economlo doc

as strong by far as it might be if It let

6T. PETERSBURG. Oct 23.-Special to
Th Bee.) Events are happening la Russia
that are of more than usual interest to th
world beyond Its borders. While Finland
la compelled to acquiesce In the practical
obliteration of Its political Independence,
and there I no relation In the law that
prohibit active propaganda In th Interest
of religious liberty as It is understood by
the bureaucracy of Russia, the assembly
of delegate from five different Baptist
unions In St Petersburg, and the publlo
discussion by these delegates of a proposal
for their federation and all thla with th
approval of th government and, what Is
more suggestive, th police constitutes on
of those paradoxes that compel on to be
lieve that even In Russia th powers ot
reaction ar not mighty enough to atop th
wneeia oi progress.
It 1 true that th assembly referred to
Is guarded within and without by police
men, notebook In hand, and ready, if any
words should faU from the speakers' Hps
that savors of doctrine dangerous to th
safety and well-being of the stat. to forth
with clos the deliberations.

them, for th sam reason, hav had their
property confiscated and their home
broken up, enduring Imprisonments, exile,
and constant pollc urvelllano. Men gnd
women, stricken with ag and with th
evidence of th bonds of persecution
printed, aa it were, oh "their bdla, war
among th delegate mint-signed, th. parous
ment that conveyed sentiment of layglty
t th throne gnd devotion to th father-,
land. They uttered no word of ranrogco
against their adversaries, vented no thregt-
nings. gnd even abstained front mention
ing the price that they or their forofatharg
have- paid for the meaaure of liberty that
they now enjoy.. On th oontrary. taav
rather dwelt. upon th advantage of thais
position, extolled .th government whar
they thought they .had acted In what they
believed to be In th general Interests ol
th stats, gnd then they . sang songs ot
peace and breathed prayer of hop anil
confidence for th blessing gnd progras ot
