Atlantic City, Aug. 4. The "embark ' ntlon day" reunion of the Knights of Columbus came to an end tonight with n banquet. There were 500 covers. Prayer was offered by Rev. William V. Cantwell, chaplain of the Mew Jer- sey council. The orator of the evening was William Michael Byrne, of Dela- yare, whose topic was "Some Issues of the Hour." ' Other sneakers were: Congressmen I' John J. Gurdlner, of New Jersey, and Henry IJurk, of Pennsylvania; IS. A. Plillbin, ex-distrlct attorney of New York; Thomas Harrison Cummlngs, na tional organizer: George F. Monaghan, of Detroit, Mich., and Frank Smith, editor of the Pittsburg Catholic. Previous to the banquet, the follow ing cablegram was forwarded to Pope Leo XIII, at Rome: "Your spiritual children, Knights of Columbus of America, In meeting as sembled at Atlantic City, rejoicing in the length of your pontificate, felici tate your holiness on the memorable . achievements of your auspicious reign, and rejoice at the spirit of amity you manifest for the American republic." William Michael Byrne, United States nttM-ney for Delaware, responded to the toat V "Some Issues of the Hour." He fiuvt )a vigorous discourse on the rela tions of church and state In the Phllip- plnes. Mr. Byrne spolce of the action of the Knights of Columbus of Delu- Iwarc. and throughout the country. In t-J" . ., I . At 1 tlon of Catholic interests in certain re cent publications, and held that as Catholics demanded from Protestants the strictest veracity In the printed word, so they should in turn observe these strict standards when treating of topics affecting the conduct of their Protestant fellow-countrymen. In open ing his address, Mr. Byrne said: "In the remarks I am about to make, I wish it distinctly understood that I In no way seek to obtain for them any approval of any kind from the Knights of Columbus ;is an organization, nor do I make them as a Knight of Colum bus, but simply and merely as an American citizen, profoundly interested In questions affecting my church and country. "I believe that no Catholic editor In America would allow to appear In hla "paper any statement of a fact as true which he knew to be false. But this Is not enough. T- scrupulously honest man states a tri.iftc as a fact which he does not know to be true and I regret to observe that the statements appear ing in tho Catholic press charging tho government with proselyting in the Philippines were made without that care of investigation which the gravity of the charge demanded." Some Misstatements. Mr. Byrne stuteuMhut It was not true that Protestant clergymen were em ployed as public school teachers In the Philippines unci showed that there are about 3,500 Catholic teachers In the Philippine schools, in addition Catho lic teachers lr'y give instruction In the -Catholic v riwn In the school build ings three days every week. "Surely," said Mr. Byrne, "with our Catholic teachers outnumbering the Protestants thieo to one, with the young Filipino already giounded In the practices of the Catholic faith with an adequate allowance of time to Catholic priests to give these school children In the school rooms Instruction In tho doc trines of tho Catholic religion, it be trays a somewhat conscious weakness of our cause it wo frantically accuse the government of systematic prosiey tlsm because a small proportion of tho teachers In tho Phlllr."lnca happen to be Protestants. The constitution of the United States prevents the government from passing any law respecting tho establishment of a tcliglon and the spirit of that provision Is equally pre ventive of any action by the govern ment tending tochange a religion. "No teacher or other person shall teach or criticise the doctrine of any church, religious sect or denomination, or shall attempt to Influence the pupils for or against any church or religious sect In any publlo school established under this act. If any teacher shall Intentionally violate this section ho or she shall, after due hearing, he dis missed from tho publlo service," Having shown tho safety of Catholi cism under, the scirol system In the Philippines, Mr, Byrne proceeded to dis cuss the transition of tho church there from a stato aided institution to one free, Independent and untrammelled. 'Much hus been said In. this country," continued Mr, Byrne, "about the Span ish friars In the Philippines, but hap pily tho American government has ex pressly dlsclulmed any participation In the accusations made against our re ligious orders there. America's Noble Example, ('Ujiiivn Kneland. unlike Spain, unlike Mexico, unlike most every other coun try dealing with the question of mon astic possessions, the American gov ernment proposes that the change de manded by the times shall work no In justice to the friars. The condition of affairs In the Philippines demands that the friars no longer be extensive land loids. Their boundless acres ought to be divided Into small homestead lots for the benefit of the Filipino people who would thus receive that Impulse to industry and frugality arising from Individual ownership of property. This Is Identical in principle with the Irish land problem. The Roman Catholic bishops In Ireland unanimously demand that the English government compel the Irish landlords to sell their vast estates to Irish peasants on fair terms, and what American Catholic can com plain If the American government vol untarily does for the Catholic Filipino what the Irjsh Catholic bishops de mand shall be done by the English gov ernment for the Irish peasants."

In acknowledging the gift, Senator Hanna expressed his sincere thanks to his employes for their gift, and Incident ally spoke on the relations that ho hopes soon to exist between capital and labor. Concerning the anthracite strike, Mr. Hanna said: "When the great anthracite strike was threatening the Civic Federation worked hard for weeks to avert it, to bring men and employers together, but failed. After It was on, we worked hard to stop it, but failed. It is my per sonal satisfaction to know that the statement made at the time thnt the men would not go back on their word has been kept and that a sympathetic strike has been averted. I told the federation that there would be no sym pathetic strike among the bituminous miners. I believe In manhood. Labor organizations are not things which can be sued for breach of contract. They have no corporate existence, but I would rather have the promise of a laboring man, backed only by his sense of honor and his manhood, than any agreement which might be enforced by law. Manhood and Integrity are the same, whether they belong to a miner, a street railway man or a boss. For myself, I have no higher ambition than to work for tho purpose of bring ing capital and labor nearer together, and to live out my life in Cleveland, where I have lived for fifty-two years."

By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tress. Chicago, Aug. 4. Tho go-..ilent suit against the alleged beef trust wua sent a step forward here today by the filing In the United States circuit court of demurrers of the defendants, both as Individuals and as corporations. The demurrers set up at considerable length that the complaint on which an In junction la asked Is Insufficient. It Is maintained that the suit is mul tifarious, and if allowed to stand would tend to congest the business of the courts. In specific terms the demur rers assert that so much of the Mil of complaint as asks a discovery "of the several Interests of the defendants and their business methods" has not stated such a case as would entitle tho com plaint to the rellpf prayed for. The effect of the filing of the demur rers Is technically to admit all the al legations charged In tho bill ot com plaint. The argument advanced in support of the packers' position Is that admitting the truth of the charge, no sufficient ground has been shown for the issuance of tho petitioned wilt. The instrument was signed by John S. Mil ler, counsel for all the packers. If the demurrer is sustained by the court, the original complaint may be amended, and If overruled tho defend ants have the privilege of argulns. It Is not expected that any further steps will be taken In the case by either side until about October 1, when the fed eral Judges return from their vaca tions. GRAND, CIRCUIT RACES.

O'Reilly, pastor of the Catholic Church of the Annunciation, delivered an address on the strike, which was tho talk of Shenandoah all day Sun day and was tho theme of much com ment today. This is whut he said: It Is a law of God and of man that every human being has a right to earn enough to feed himself and his family. If his children cry for In end, ho has the light to get that bread honestly, and no man living has a right to tell him ho shall not. The man who interferes Is a lawbreaker and an enemy to public good. 1 know that there aro men in my con gregation who want to go to work. They didn't want to quit work, but they would go back tomonow If they did not fear for their lives. J say this la wiong. You should have the manhood to go back to work and defy this organization known as the United Mine Workers. It is a blood-stained organization, and It will bo blood-stained until It ceases to exist. It was formed to piomoto crime arid pro tect criminals. Every one was happy and contented hei o until Mitchell and Fahy came and orgunlzed unions. They aro not respcet able, and 1 wouldn't give two cents for tho opinion of cither of them. They draw big salaries and live on tlio best In the country. Did any one ever hear of Pres ident Mitchell or Fahy working? No; but they live by preying on the paltry earnings of you poor, deluded men, while your unfortunate families are starving. They tell me Fahy offered 130 union men to tho sheriff to suppress disorder. The sheriff was wiso lu refusing their help. If ho had, God help U1I3 community. If the mlno workers really wanted to show that they favored peace, why didn't they get out and capture the murderers of that young man who was clubbed to death before their eyes? 1 was away at Bed ford Spiir.gs when it happened, but it made me ashamed to say I camo from Shenandoah. I want to urgo you not to sign tho po tion for tho withdrawal of tho troops. Some misguided men aro signing It. I for ono say tho troops aio needed hero. If they are taken away, God only knows haw many lives will bo sacrificed. They are not against the strikers; they aro here to protect them. I have seen many strikes, my children, and I Hay to you, even If won, tho cost Is too great. You men who spend time lu loafing around tho saloons during a ntrlko know only half tho story. I. who go into tlio homes of tho strlkeis, seo tho other side. It's the women ami children who go hun gry, who llvo In tenor of riot and blood shed, who suffer most. You should cou sldor them.
