CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.
CONGRESS AT JERUSALEM. T
THE EUCHARISTIC
'H E permanent Committee o f the
Eucharistic Congress, the President o f which is the Bishop o f Liège, has chosen Jerusalem as the meeting-place o f the Eighth General Assem bly to be held the last week in April and first week in May next year. This date will coincide with the arrival o f the French Pilgrimage o f Penance, to which will be joined pilgrimages from Germany, Holland, and Belgium, to the holy places. T h e Pope, in a B r ie f addressed to the Bishop o f L iège on the subject o f the congress, dwells upon the happiness and consolation it is for him to see the ardour o f the faithful in honouring and praying to the Eternal Shepherd o f the Church in the august Sacrament o f the altar. T h e Holy Father rejoices to hear that the Eighth Assem bly o f the Eucharistic Congress is convened to hold its sittings in the city of Jerusalem, a plan which appears to him full o f wisdom and likely to be productive o f the most salutary fruits. T h e Holy Father then dwells upon the fact that no more solemn and appropriate place for the assembly o f such a Congress could possibly be found than the holy city where our Lord instituted the admirable pledge o f his love ; besides inspiring the Christians in the east with increased favour towards the holiest o f all the Sacraments, the Pontiff is convinced that all those who take part in the Congress will, above all, pray for a reunion in the integrity o f the same faith with those who, although separated from the Holy Roman Church, bear the name o f Christian. In conclusion th e same spiritual treasures granted two years ago to the members o f the Congress assembled at Antwerp, are granted under the same conditions to the eighth Congress meeting in Jerusalem. The meetings will take place in the Church o f the Patriarchate, under the presidency o f Mgr. Piavi, Patriarch o f Jerusalem, and in addition to the Eastern Episcopate it is hoped that many Western Bishops will be able to attend. T h e Bishop o f Liège, in his circular, points out that the majority o f the Eastern Bishops are so poor that contributions towards their travelling and other expenses would be most welcome, and suggests that offerings for this

THE END OF THE CARMAUX
DISPUTE.
Wiser counsels have prevailed at Carmaux, and, after declining for several days, the strikers have decided to accept the Prime Minister’s award. T h is decision was arrived at, however, subsequently to, if not in consequence of, an important debate and division in the Chamber. A t a meeting o f the Radical party, at which some hundred deputies were present, o f whom the most important | was M. Clemenceau, it had been decided to call upon the ! Government to grant a general amnesty. M. Terrier was the spokesman o f the party, and demanded o f the Government an amnesty for all persons condemned for strike offences since October 1. H e professed profound respect for M. Loubet’s award, and for arbitration in general, and insisted that certainly the miners ought to accept it honourably and loyally. A t the same time, Parliament undoubtedly had the power and the right o f decreeing oblij vion for the past and so creating a permanent peace. Clem ency and generosity befitted a Republic based on j fraternity. Surely the Chamber must see how the workmen 1must consider it cowardly to resume work so long as ten I comrades, no more guilty than themselves and arrested at ' random, were still in prison. Humanity and policy united 1 in requiring an amnesty, which, being granted by a separate party, would not be inconsistent with the award. M. Viette, | Minister o f Public Works, then went to the Tribune and I spoke with commendable courage. H e insisted that there | could be nothing cowardly in obeying the award o f an i honest man, and added that, had work been resumed, he I himself would have proposed a pardon, which would almost | certainly have been followed by the re-instalment o f the ! released men. H e urged, however, that an amnesty was j applicable only to serious convulsions like the Commune, when passion might be supposed to have influenced the tribunals. Even i f the Company had acted indiscreetly and wrongly, that could not justify the breaking into and pillage o f a private house. After some further discussion, | a division was taken, and the amnesty was rejected b y 324 j to 198. T h e incident, however, was not yet closed. M. j Dumay, a Socialist, raised an interpellation as to the presence o f the troops at Carmaux. His view o f the situa
tion was that the two parties to the dispute should be left ; to fight it out, and that the well-fed and opulent share: holders in the Company were not entitled to the assistance
