THE KING AND THE POPE
A DISPUTED TOAST-LIST.
Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright.
OTTAWA, April 17.
At an influential Roman Catholic banquet in this city, when the Pope's name was placed at the head of the toast list, with that of the King second, governor Manstib, Mr Deacon (Mayor of Winnipeg), the Hon. Mr Docherty (Minister of Justice), and the Premier of Manitoba refused to attend.
After much acrimonious debate the banquet committee arranged to sing the National Anthem first, and then give the Pope's, health, omitting that of the King, but no one of note attended, except the Mayor of Winnipeg. ;
Archbishop Langevin, in proposing the Pope's health, declared that the Pope was the most sublime majesty in the world, for his Holiness represented Jesus Chri§t.
In the course of a subsequent interview he declared that the Pope was the first authority in the world, and then camp loyalty to the King. /
