INDIAN READ FELT THE SHOCK.
At 'Indian Head goods wore shaken
front the ehelves in gores, furniture
and lamps, and dishes in houses were
moved, and the citizens melted to the
open, fearful of a terrible catastrophe.
At Moose Jaw there was also a general
exodus of citizens from their homes, and
buildings were eocked quite„ perceptibly.
For two days prior to this the city
had been almost isolated from the out-
side world, so far as aelegraphie com-
munication is conceened, through. an ,in-
terruptiun of the wire service. Terrific
electric:al storms also taged in several
localities, but whether these outbursts
had tote, connectiou will the great cons.
vulsion- of nature evhieh shook the peal -
ries caunot be known. Scientists, how-
ever, who haveebeen consalted 'in the
matter, &dare their belief- that the real
force of the earthquake was not felt in
this country, but rather this was but a
tremor from some mighty convulsion of
the earth in Another section of tho
globe, aud they expect to learn ef further
details of a destructive visitation. •
There is said to have neen a similar
disturbance here many years ago, al- •
though there ie no authentic record of
it excepting' the memory of pioneers,
but the prairies have always been re-
garded as o peculiarly innotene from
earthquakes, owieg to their distance
from. the centres of volcanic action,
mouutains or seashore, and also from
the fact thatethe earth's crust here is of
solid forma:tin.' Actual earthquakes are
regarded as almost impossible, and it is,
therefore, argued by authorities thab
last night's disturbance here it hut a
faint echo of something terrible.

A Great Gain For Catholics -Pre-

London, May 17. -Mr. Jelin E. Red-
utond's bill for the removal of Roman
Catholic disabilities passed ita !wend
reading in the House ' of Conemotts
this afternoon by a vote of las to
123, and was referred to Committee
of the Whole by 124 votes to 121.
Besides removing the Catholic. disabil-
ities the measure providea for the dele-
tion front the coronation oath of certain.
°hoses objeCtionable to Raman. Who -
lies. As the bill is not a Governmene
measure, there is little likelihood of its
being pressed to a third reading this
session, The passage of the second read-
ing, Itovsever, is looked irpen as great
victory for the Catholics. Although sins-
iliar bills have beau before the House
on various occasions, nono have over
reached this 'Stage.
Mr. Asquith, who spoke early in
tho debate, gave his cordial support
to the object of the bill. The ex-
clusien of Roman Catholics from --the
Lord Ch.ancellorship of Great Britnin
and the Lond-Lieutenancy of Ireland,
ho declared to be unjostifiable on the
grounds either of logic or policy. The
aceessiou declaration, Ito said, was a
flimsy and unnecessary safeenard Of
the Protestant succession, tilted from
probably the worst period in our his-
tory. It could not bo justified and

In seconding the eejection of the
bill, A. C. F. Boulton said' that in re-
cent times the Pope had claimed the
right to interfere in the internal gov-
ernment of the British Empire. (Cries
of "No.") He referred to the Jesuit;
estates act passed in Canada in 1888.
The Roman Catholic Church had been
shown, by what had happened in
Canada, to be not only a religious but
also a political body. '
The correspondence embodied, iu the
preamble of the act, as to the sale of
the property of the Jesoits, eeb.owed
that the Popo had therein granted
Permission for the sale of land belong-
ing to the Crown, (Ironical National-
ist cheers and cries of "011") More -
ever, the Church had fulminated
against ono particular party in Can-
ada, thereby iuterfering with politics.
That part of the oath which is
partipularly objected to by Roman
Catliolies is as folloys: "I. A. B., by
the Grace of God, King of Scotland,
England and Ireland, Defender of the
Faith, do solemnly and sincerely in
the presence of God testify and declare
that I do -believe that in the sacrament
of the'Lord's Supper there is not any
transtbstantiation of the elements of
bread and wine into the body and
blood of Christ at or after the con-
secration thereof by auy person what-
soever, and that the invocation or
adoration of the Virgin Mary or any
other Saint and the sacrifice of Mass
as they are now used in the Church of
Rome are superstitious and idolatrous:
and I do hereby in tho presence of
God profess, testify ad declare that
I do make this declaration and every
part thereof in the plain and ordin-
ary sense of the words read to me tut
they are commonly understood by Eng-
lish Protestants without any evasion,
equivation or mental reservation what-
soever, and svithout any dispensation al-
ready granted me for this purpose by
tho Popo or any other authority, or per-
son whatsoevee, or with any hope of any
such dispensation of any person. or au-
thority whatsoever, or without think-
ing that I atn or can be acquitted before
God or mon or absolved, of this declara-
tion or any part thereof, although the
Pope or any other person or persons
whatsoever should dispense with or an-
nul the same or declare that it was null
and void front the beginning."
CANADIAN ORANGEMEN PROTEST.
The Orangemen of Canada have
several times placed themselyce on
record as opposed to any change in
the coronation oath, and ab the pros-
enb moment they are co-operating
with the British Protestant Alliance
in opposing by resolutions passed at
all their meetings the proposed
changes. Copies of these tesolutiona
are being sent in large numbers by
every mail to the British Protestant
A lliance officers in London, and al-
ready speekers for and publications
of the Alliance refer to the desire of
Canadian Protestants for the retene
