WASHINGTON, March S.— There is a movement an foot for a radical revis ion of the rules of the house, and pta" erularly enough, it comes from Repub licans almost exclusively. Many lead ers, who have no personal animosity to Speaker Reed, have come to the • elusion that the rules must be re vised »v' *s to curb the power of the speaker. These ruins of the house work ad mirably to expedite all business to which the speaker gives his sanction, but they work quite as well to prevent consideration entirely of all measures t,, which he is opposed. Under the present system the committee on rules is allpdwerful, and no member can ( i anything- before the house without the permission of that little coterie. The sneaker appoints this committee as well as others, and hence he can prevent consideration of any measure. us he did i» the case. of the Nicaragua canal and Hawaiian annexation bills. The movement now on foot is to se cure i modification of the system in such a way as to allow speedy action and i" secure consideration, whether the speaker is favorable or not. The favorite plan now is to have the com mittee on rules appointed by the cau cus, and Mr. Reed will be notified that, If he expects to be speaker of the next house he must yield something to the rank and file, and that something Is more than likely to be the committee on rules. . Quite a number of members have announced their intention of insisting on some curb on the great personal power of the speaker before voting for him They recognize Mr. Reed's domi nant ability as a parliamentarian but they are determined that he shall not any longer stand in the way of meas ures desired both by the administration and by a large majority of the Repub licans" in the house.

REPLIES TO BISHOP TITTLE FATHER M'MiLTY (feUOTBUj AU TIIOItIIIKS TO SHOW THIS CHIHCH 6F ROME la Viot an itllsli.,..< of the Church of England Al»o DenleM That Catholic BldhopM Cunnot Ho l.ojal Amrrlcon Clti*enjt. Father McNulty, who during Lent Is lecturing on church history at St. Luke's church, last evening interrupted his course to reply to remarks made by Bishop Tuttle at Christ church ' Tuesday night: During the past tew weeks three bishops of the Episcopal church have visited St. Paul, and delivered public lectures ou points of re ligious controversy. Bishop 3e»Hums, of Louisiana, taking for the subject of his dis course the work of Wycliffe, went con siderably out of hia way to ca3t doubt upon a fact now universally admitted by scholars, be they Catholic, Protestant, or infidel, name ly, that St. Peter founded the see of Rome and was put to death in the Eternal City. Bishop Seymour, of Illinois, followed, and in a lecture ou "Cranmer," aimed at under mining a belief which is as well founded in Scripture as is any doctrine of the Catholic faith and which for fifteen centuries was re garded as a precious heritage of the Chris tian church— the primacy of the Roman pon tiff. Last night Bishop Tuttle, of Missouri, con tinued the campaign, and taking for his theme, "Hooker and the Post Reformation Period," committed himself to two startling statements: (1) That the Roman church is an offshoot of the Church of England, and (2), that the bishops of the Catholic church cannot be loyal American citizens. In common with all who defend the Epis copal position, Bishop Tuttle maintains that during the five centuries which preceded the mission of St. Augustine the Church of Eng land was independent of the Church of Rome. Despite the scantiness of historical documents which have survived those trou blous times, we are in possession of facts which prove that the Church of England was from the beginning under the jurisdiction of the Church of Rome. In the year 314 the bishops of London, York and Lincoln represented the English church at the council of Aries. The acts of this council were forwarded to Rome, together with a letter signed by the bishops. They hail the Roman pontiff as "the most beloved Pope Sylvester," salute him "with the rever ence due" to him, regret his absence, and add that had he been present "their sen tence would have been more severe and their assembly more rejoiced." They requeßt him to "make our decisions known to all, the decisions which we have written down." How natural it was for the bishops to submit to the pope the acts of their council may be inferred from the testimony which their letter bore — that "the apostles continued to sit" in the see of Rome. If, then, 283 years before St. Augustine set foot on English soil, the leading blphops of England acknowledged that the apostles continued to rule in the see of Rome, and submitted their decrees to the Roman pontiff, they were as little independent of Rome as the American bishops of today, who recognize in Leo the successor of St. Peter and submit to him the decrees of their plenary councils. Again, Prosper tells us that when the Pelagian heresy broke out "Pope Celestine sent Uermanus, bishop of Auzerre, to restor* the Britons to the Catholic faith." This was early in the fourth century. A few years later, as the tame chronicler writes. Pope Celestine despatched to Ireland Palladius, the Roman deacon, to be the first bishop of that island, and thus enlarged the terri tory of Christianity in Britain and the ad jacent countries. But i£ early in the fourth century the Ro man pontiff was taking measures to guard the Catholic faith in England against the In fection of heresy and to secure the spread of Christianity to the adjacent countries, there is surely no foundation for the assertion of an Episcopalian bishop that the Church of England, was, in its inception, without the pale of Roman jurisdiction. Indeed, it is satisfactorily established that the British bishops themselves acknowledged the author ity of St. Augustine, and whatever oppQsi tion was shown to the Roman missionary was dictated— as may be inferred from Gildaa the historian— by an unwillingness to submit to the reforming measure which St. Augus tine proceeded to enforce. These and other historical arguments of equal value Bishop Tuttle should dispose of in a scholarly man ner before he again ventures upon the as tounding statement that the Church of Rome is an offshoot of the Church of England. Not less astounding is Bishop Tuttle's state ment that. "There are scores of churches in America, and some whose bishops who can not be true Americans, because they owe their first allegiance to a pontiff in a foreign land." Obviously this attack Is leveled against the Catholic church. Students of history are aware that the Catholic church always stood for human liberty. Dean Church, whose au thority in this matter Bishop Tuttle will be the first to recognize, says that the ministers of the churr-h, in the middle ages were "rep resentatives," not of religion only and the claims of God, but of moral order, of the rights of conscience and the sympathies of men, of the bonds of authority of human so ciety—the only trusted guides' of life." Is it not one of the plainest facts of history that Catholic prelates frequently exerted " their powerful influence towards wresting from ty rannical inonarchs charters of liberty for the people? Father Me-Nulty then quoted authori ties on the position of the Catholic church and the cause of liberty in all ages, and concluded as follows: After all the insinuation of disloyalty comes with bad grace from one whose church seema to have been hampered, to say the least by foreign allegiance.
