RECONClLATION-COU TRANl-A NEuhO

,rnou .S OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF the rRihusEI
ROMF, June -.
Tbose interested in the reconciliation OF Church
.na srate IN Italy will read with pleasure an ac-
connt of an occurrence which took place q rev
tovs ago here. The Rector of ST. Macdaien
Chnrch. bearing the viaticum to dying man. was
nassinC do yn one of the most crowded streets oi
Rome when. on approaching the Senate ue ihe'
regment of infantry marching out TO exercise. As
soon as the colonel perceived the priest he haited
b;s troops and commanded them to present aims
10 the Holy Sacrament At the same rnomcnt the
suu cuard on duty at the Senate turned ont with
o,+ arms and beat their knees Surprised and
tonched the venerable priest stood still Tor
moment and then, raising his hands aloft pro-
nonnced a blessing on the soldi RS. This KIND oil
reconciliation in the pablic streets Is very s'ghin-
can't and constitutes another presage OF tue aP-
proaching establishment Of bonds OF unity between
4 liberal Pope and Constll utional king.
Tie king has just been subjected TO whoiIy
cratuitOus insult by the Austrian authorities In
ordering the court mourning for Prince Louis ot
Bourbon Count Trani. who died the other day the
Emperor designates him az heir apparent 10 the
KINGDOM of Naples thus distinctly implying that
he does not recognize King Hum6ert rs Sovereign
Ter of the Empress of Austria, was the eldest
Lrotber of the cbildless ex-kng Of Naples, whose
porirat is so graphically depicted in Aphonse
Daudet's Rot en- Exilr In the Austro-ltalIan war
of s66 the count d:stn gushed himself a. colonel
of A regiment of Hungarian ancers which almost
cut to pieces the infantry brigade commanded oy
Prince Hum bert at the battle OF Villa Franca
During the last few years he has divided his time
between Baden and vienna.
Among the priests consecrated by Cardinal
Parrochi at the Pentec ordination we're Mt Nevln
Fisher of Philadelphia, formerly Minister OF the
American Episcopal Protestant Church on the
Via NaziOuae. at Rome. and the Rev Angus
tus Tolton of Quincy illinois. Ihs latter wAo Is
the FIRST American negro the Catholic Chhrch ha'
ever raised to saceriOtal rank celebrated his first
mass OH Whitsundiy last IN the grand Old Bas'lica
of St. Peter, aud has left on his return TO the
United States
The Cardinal Parrochi. ABOVE mentioned. is one
of the most learned and venerated members OF the
Roman clergy. AS Cardinal Vicar of Ills Holiness
he is the Bishop and Netr0pCltar 1.-THE ArchePIsco-
pal SEQ of Rome and has supreme control oil all
the cathedras OF the Capital By reason OF MS
office and in consequence of the discipline wnich ne
is obliged TO maintain among his colleagues ana
subord mates he is necessarily extremely unpopular
and ii is asserted on the best authority that Leo

prevent his succeeding TO the Papacv Al the
last conclave Leo XIII obtained but few votes
more than the Cardinal who was his closest col-
petitor. Nor must the Holy Father be taxed win
personal setshness in this matter; Tor ne IS tuiIN
aware that if the Cardinal we're 10 succeed I'm al
attempts at reconciliation between Church ant
State would be at an end, and the whole iabor OF
his life lost. ParrOch who was created cardinal
by Plus *, Just before his death. was formerly
Archbishop OF Bologna and MAS removed from
thence at the special request OF the Qnirnai when
had reason to complain not only Of his inveterate
hostility TO the Kings Government. but also OF his
close intimacy with the Austrian Court his warm-
est supporters. . o
For the first time IN the history OF the Papacy
there are at the present u oment Just as many
foreign as Italian Cardinals. namely thirty-thrre OF
consequence by the Romans lest the next Pope
shonid he a foreigner. There can be no question
ON tliis point for neither the Government nor the
| people would permit any one b1t an Italian 10
reign at the Vatican, and the position OF foreign
Pope there would be intOlerabr both to himself and
| to the people.
