Protesting Against the Seizure-A Mass
Meeting Raises Its Voice Against the
Con1iscatIon OF the American College
at Rome.
NEW YORK, April 2s-For some time past
| a theme of much discussion among the
Roman Catholics in this city has been the
contemplated seizure by the Italian govern
ment of the real estate, college and other build
ings owned by the Roman Propaganda.
Until to-day, however, no definite expression
of opinion on the subject of those interested
l
been given. 60 supply this want mass
meeting of all who cared to attend was called
for this evening under the auspices of the
Xavier Union at Cooper Union. The audi
ence was large one, comprising nearly
three thousand persons, and was of decided
| ly semi-religieus caste, a larger number of
clergymen and ladies being present than the
ordinary mass meeting usually attracts. The
committee of citizens entrusted with the
arrangements of the matter have sent letters
during the past week to a large number of
New York's most prominent men asking for
their opinion on the ACCESSIBILITY of holding
public meeting on this subject. Among
| those cordially approving the action and
who signifed their willingness to render
| whatever aid they could were the following
named gentlemen: Augustus Belmont, Henry
Bergh, Roscoe Conkiing, Charles A. Dana,
Rev. Morgan Dix, William III. EVarts, r. P.
Flower, General W. S. Hancock, Theodore
Havemeyer, George Jones, Charles O'Conor,
Oswald Ottendorfer, Royal Phelps, White
law Reid, Carl schurz, Samuel J.
Tflden and Thomas L. James. Among
the gentlemen who occupied seats on the
platform we're: Mayor Edison, chairman;
Hon. William e. Grace, Rev. Father Glow
! cry, Rev. Danbresse, S. j.; Hon. Edwin
| Healey, Mr.. P. s. Gilmore and many others.
Letters of sympathy and regret for non-at-
| tendance were read from the following gen.
tlemen:, Hon. Roscoe Conkling, August
Belmont, Hon. Francis Herman, Hon. Lew
| is Lowe, Hon. s s. Cox, Hon. Frank Hurd
and Hon. Perry Belmont. Mayor Edison was
| then introduced and spoke briefly on the
| subject of the evening. Among other things
| he said that we had assembled in the inter
| est of Justice of civil well as religious
| liberty The property about to be seized and
| converted into the Unacceptable securities of
the Italian government had been built up by
| the contributions of the people of all Chris
tian countries, hence the injustice of such
| robbery was evident.
Mayor Edison was followed by Judge DAILY,
who spoke with warmth and vigor on what
| he termed the rapacity of the italian govern
ment. As soon as it emerged some few years
/ from its struggles for place among the ma
1 lions of Europe and began to look around it
made the discovery that the great institutions
/ of the Roman church existing in its
midst would have no owner were the Papal
/ was the property of God in every respect,
l but it was not compatible with the safety of
| the Italian government that the Almighty
| should own SO much real estate in Italy and
| the government sought to seculsrize the
property as they called it in the soft Ian
Ruage of Italy, although we prefer to say
| confscate." The speaker claimed that the
government did not intend to ultimately pay
| either principal or interest This is
| a large country and we take large
| and liberal views of things. Italy is
| small country and they accordingly take
small and narrow views Of things there. We
| only ask them. however, to show the honesty
of a black chief on the Congo river. We
| protest against such savage butchery taking
! place in the name of the law"
Hon. T. L. James spoke briefly and drew
much applause by saying: "What are We 60
ing to do about it? We will call the
attention of the whole civilized world
to it and if the young kingdom of Italy
resists we will hold it up to the execration of
i all Christsndom. Liberty is our own affair
| the whole world over and we have never
1 failed to speak our minds in the cause of OPP
pressed Justice and liberty. Several other
! gentlemen then addressed the assembly, after
| which the folio wing resolutions which were
prefaced by long preamble, were adopted, a
| vote of thanks rendered the chairman, Mayor
Edison, and the meeting adjourned:
We citizens of the city of New York in meeting
sepnbled declare and resolve that the italian gov
| eminent in the conversion and spoliation of the
property of the Propaganda 1s guilty of despotsm
and crime, and of BOT only outrage Hpon liberty,
civil property rights but of act calculated and
intended to strike blow at religion and civilization
and to furnish opportunities for that gove-nment
interference with and hampering the freedom of tn
Catholic Church, that he italian government is seek
ing only to ruiaously affect the Propaganda by
reducing the nominal value of its property by
than onethird and placing entirely at its mercy all
that great department bureau of the Papa admin
istration but it attack upon the liberty of the
Pope of the functions of his Office and
the highest noblest interests of civilization.
That we solemnly protest sg.inst the conversion
and confscation by the italian government of the
property Propaganda contributors to trust
| In which . e only religions, but proper
ty int-rest and deny the right of that government
to deprive by confscatlon of onethird of its
ceeds, by force to change its condition.
That the action Of the Ita ian government in con-
nection with the Propaganda is uRwarranted ille
gal and unjust would be the coDfiscation
version by the government of the State of York
OF property of the Trinity church corporation,
Columbia college, the American Bible society the
Theological seminary,
Thst President O. AArthur, Secretary of State F. T.
Frelinhuysen and Minister W. Y. Astor entitled
to the gratitude of the American people for their
prompt and effective action by which the rights and
dignity OF Americans were asserted and susstai ned
in obtaining the exemption of the American college
in Rome fr> m conflscation and conversion.
That copy Of this preamble and these resolutions
be forwarded to the President the United States,
the Secretary of State and Minister Astor, an to
each Senator and Representative in Congress. and
that the President be requested to transmit copy
thereof to ths italian government.
