It is stated that Speaker Cannon during his visit to the east, and particularly dur- ing his vacation on Regresentative Sibley yacht, took up with his assocthtes the rights of the house of representatives with a view of ascertaining just how far he could expect the members to stand with him upon the proposition of bringing back the old-time dignity of the popular branch of government. No man in congress has had more op- portunity to feel the practical effect of the disposition .of the senate to have its own way than the gentleman who retires from the head of the appropriations committee of the house to begome speaker of that body. fession_after dession in the closing hours when big supply bills were in the balance he has manfully battled for the house position, holding ' up If necessary many of the monky bills with the hope that the senate would see its way clear to meot the house conferees .at-lgast half way, but with all Mr. Cannon's strength of purpose he has found himself on many occasions yielding his well known views ‘o the ada- mantine position of the senate. The house has fumed and frefted against the practice of the senate and unimportant members have delivered themselves of great bursts of ordtory against the senate's high- handed procedure, but these. fulminations fell on the senate as harmless as the rain on the Washington monument. It has grown to be an ted fact that the sen- do nmy about as it pleased ‘to the skin ' of spebch, Wi 3 boldest protests cvd amiide against _the power of the upper branch. {o1a-Timers Not Hopeful. 1t, &s a result of the notice served upon the senate by.Mr. Cannon during the closing hours of the fifty-seventh congress, & contest does come {t Will be watched with great interest by the oldtimers in con- gress who, to tell the truth, have not much faith in the prespect .of making the senate do anything it ‘dogs nm want to do.

The issue between the senate and thé house, it is anticipated, will be joined 6n the bill to increase the cur- rency, amd to give it an elasticity which it does not have. Mr.' Cannon holds to views diametrically opposed to those of Benator Aldrich. Mr, Cannon's difficulty will probably be in getting the house to agre¢ upon & measure and then to stand M of that agreement.

A pertect model, some six feet in length, of the famous old Upited States friga “Constitution," has just been completed by G. W, Barnes, superintendent of the pen- sion office, and placed on exhibition in the great hall of the Pension bureau, Veing upon a pedestal about on the spot where the bandstand Is located during inaugural balls. The model is perféct in every detail, and being that of a style of vessel rarely ever seen, even by those who live on the seacoust, in these, modern days when all or mearly all ocean-golng craft sre pro- pelied by steam, it'is'a most interesting exhibit aside from the fact that it is a model of the. most famous vessel of the early days of the American navy. It at- tracts the attention of hundreds of visitors ly and will very probably be loaned to the Loulslana Purchase exposition.

Thomas Hendrick of Rochester, N. Y., & bishop of Cebu, P. I, was performed this morning by Cardinal Satolll, in the church of the Franciscan missionary nuns. The occasion acquired special jmportance because one of Cardinal Satolli's assistants at the function was Archbishop Harty, the metropolitan of the Philippine islands, while contémporaneously Cardinal Satolll { consecrated Mgr. Cavallari as titular bishop of Philadelphia, Asia Minor, whom the pope has appointed provicar of Venice. Plus X still keeps for himself the patri- archate, thus avolding a revival of the question whether the Italian government has the right to choose the patriarch of Venice, which it claimed when Sarto was appointed to that post. The scene today was ploturesque in the extreme when the red robed cardinal, sur- rounded by the bishops and a number of nuns, clad entirely in white, proceeded to the symbolic function of consecration. The students of the American college came to Rome from thefr villa at Castel Gondolto especially to assist at the ceremony. Cardi- nal Satolll later gave a dinner in honor ot Bishop Hendrick, at which Archbishop Harty, Bishop Cavallari and Mgr. Kennedy and Fowler were present. Archbishop Harty has booked his passage La Tourhine, which will leave Havre York on August 20, Jhop Hendrick, who' has fecelved in- stedctions regarding the Philippines from the secretary of state, will have a private audience with Plus X and will afterwards leave for Ireland, as he wishes to have Irish nuns and monks sent to his diocese of Cebu for teaching purposes. He also desires that several Irish priests be sent, at least for & time, MORE ANTICLERICAL ~ WAR French Cabinet Oficers Take Occa- sion to Denownce Influence of Religlous Orders.

Take L DUBUQUE, Ia., Aug. 2.—(Speclal)—The German priests of the archdiocese of Du- buque have baiided together for the pur- pose of waging war on soclaliem. The key- note of the priests’ campaign was sounded from the pulpit of St. Mary's chutch this morning when Rev. Father Rohlman, as- sistant pastor, urged German Catholics to abandon the teachings of socialism and do all in thelr power to cheek its growth. Three hundrgd members of his congrega- tion are sociallsts and the Cathollc author- itles have become alarmed at the large number of German Catholics who have be- come affillatgd with the soclalist party the past year, It is understood that this movement among the German priests has the support of Archbishop Keane, who, previous to his departure for Germany two months urged the priests to do their utmost to check the, spread of sociallsm among thelr parishioners and endeavor to reclaim Ger- man Catholles who have accepted Its teach- ings. Circulark were sent to all of the Ger- man priests in the archdiocese inviting them to come to Dubuque and attend a serles of lectures on soclalism, and also to discuss plans for organization to fight it from the pulpit. One hundred and fifty priests from various parts of the archdio- cese responded o the call and all pledged themselves to @o their utmost to uphold the supremacy of the church and put down soclalism in their parishes. Next Sunday soclalism will be condemned from the pul- plt of most of the German Catholic churches in the archdiocese and the cru- sade will be continued with vigor until the priests are satisfied that they have re- clalmed all of their parishioners who have become affillated with ‘the soclalist party. Archbishop Keane is expected here from Europe M a few weeks and he will take an active part'in the crusade.
