The American bishops at Rome deny
that azy agreement has been arrived at
concerning the attitude of the Catholic
clergy in the o nited States toward Fenianism.
The American bishops state that neither at
the Propaganda conf .rence nor at the Vat
lean have they had any agreement or dis
custom in any manner connected with
Fenianism. Before the bishops left Amer
lea it was agreed between them that this
topic (Feniacism) in particular and pol
itical matters in general were not to be inn
ported into their mission. The chief pre-
late, Archbishop Gibbons declared ITO
this policy we hope to adhere consistently
on all OCCASIONS, at home or abroad. Our
sympathies IN national movements and our
duties in church administration should not
be confounded, and above all should not be
misrepresented."
Rome Cable: The American bishops have
agreed ppon the following points: First
The bishops are to organize their semir-
aries according to the principal established
by the counsel of Treat. Srcond-Paroch-
ial schools are to be established, and in do
ing so the prin :iples of the first period of
the middle ages are to be borne in mind.
hird-COmmissioner are to be appointed
for the administration OF ecclesiastical IL prop.
erty. Fourth-For the nomination OF Gu.
rates the system ordained in France is to be
adopted, with the exception, of course, of
the cooperation of the state Fifth-A sys-
tenn OF legislation is to be decided upon for
religious marriages. Sach are the chief
resolutions that have been adopted by COM
