CARDINAL GIBBONS
ON TlrE popE's RECENT ORDER
Relative to the knights of Labor in Canada,
HeD"es not Thiuk 1t Refers to MOmhsrs
Of tho Order In AmsrIca-lIow tho
Church stands on the Question,

BALTIMORE, August l5.-The american
prints an interview with Cardinal Gibbons
in which helays;
"Cardinal TasChoreaus condemnation
Of the Knights Of Labor should not be
taken as the sentiment OF the Church 10.
wards that organization. am not faml.
iar with the labor organization in Quebec,
but 1t Is certain that the Cardinals hos
tility grew out Of some local laws or con-
duct Of the Knights which are contrary to
the doctrines OF the Church.
"As to the Knights OF Labor organizl,
ton In the United States, l have not
thoroughly examined their constitution
or studied their purposes; yet from read
Ing the newspapers and Mr.. Powderly's
public statements, infer that the objects
OF the Knights are praisewoithy, and In
no way opposed to the views 0f the
Church, The Catholic prelaEes will to q
man declare in favor Of the organization
Of labor. There can be no wrong In such
q C1une, Organization IL the basis OF all
progress--political, social and reigious,
Only when 1t is abused does the Church
raise her voice and call out her children,
~ have no knowledge Of the workings
Of the local societies In Canada. Whether
or not secret pl dyes are taken by the
knights there Is question on which more
light should be thrown by their leaders.
Vicar General Conway, ol OhiCago, who
examined the constitution OF the body
carefully, assures me that 1t besrs no re.
semblanCe to that OF the Free Masons or
Odd Fellows and other organizations
which the Church hssalways antagonixed,
A distinction must be made, too, as to the
nature Of the secret pledges. We hold
that II q man joins G society, swearing
never to reveal any Of its workings, no
matter how criminal, and 10 obey the die.
tates Of It's officers blindly, he surrenders
his personal liberty, becomes slave to
his leilow-man, and can not partake OF the
sacraments OF the Church.
"0n the other hand, II o man Joins an
organization swearing to keep secret its
workings, with the proViso that nothing
therein shall be contrary to the laws Of
the land, and his conscience and religious
tenets, we hold that his action 10 perfectly
justi6ble. The whole question as to the
church "a attitude towards the Knights OF
Labor depends on which OF these oaths the
members take. II the latter are In accor.
dance with Mr.. Powderly's statements,
then tho church says to the knights OF
Labor, God speed you.' li,however, the
absolute, blind pledge Is taken, no matter
how laudab!e the objects oil the society
are, the church can never CountenanCs 1t,
and will call on her children TO Withdraw
under the pain OF accommodation. So
everything depends upon the proviso."

WAsHINaToS, August l4.-secretary
Bayard Is following in the iootstspa oI
the President in making dsniala of well
known facts.
The greatest amount Of comment is In
dulged here to-day in regard to his denial
OF the action Of the Cabinet meeting on
Thursday, when 1t was decided To send q
legal representative to Mexico to consult
the ChihuahRu Court records on the
Cutting case,
Mr. Bayard for the past week has
worked himself into fury, because Of the
adverse criticism showered upon him by
the press all over the country ior his &C.
ton in this affair, He not only has de-
MED to newspaper correspondents every.
thing done, but he has opened bureau OF
his own. He started of by writing an in
terview with himself, stating his position
on the Cutting question and attacking Mr.,
Blaine. This interview he sent TO the
Baltimore San as special correspondence,
Next day he wrote q column Argument
for the same paper, further defending
himself and using Mr., Blaine's name in
several instances as the author Of the ad.
verse criticism. Yesterday the proceed
ings Of the Cabinet meeting leaked out,
and the fact that an envoy would leave Tor
Mexico, Mr., Bayard immediate sat down
and wrote out his denial and dispatched
this also to his Baltimore organ. II was
published and telegraphed from Baltimore
all over the country. To-day the news is
confirmed that Mr.. sedgwiek, Of New
York, 10 about to leave for Mexico under
Instructions from the State Depart
ment, thus turning the laugh on Mr..
Bayard and placing him in a most ridiCul'

THE MEXICAN SIDE.


Communications Sent to Their MInIster-sec'
rstary I'ayartl's "InOxactitudes."
CRY or MEXICO, August l4-vla GAL
yEsroN,-The Minister Of Foreign Rela'
tions, Senior Maritcal, has addressed COM
muuiCation, under date Of the 18th inst,
to Minister Romero at Washington, giving
review Of all the legal points in the Out.
ting controversy.
The communication draws attention TO
the inexaCtitude Of some Of Secretary
Bayard's statements, due, no doubt, II
says, to unreliable Information given him
by interested and excited persona. The
prosecution OF Cutting did not originate
with the Judge, az stated by Mr.. Bayard,
but was the result OF the offended party'G
complaint, made In due form, Again,
Cutting was not only not refused legal as.
sistanCe, but was provided with counsel, he
refusing TO employ lawyer.
The communication enters at length
into the question OF jurisdiction, and cites
numerous authorities, including Wheaton
and other American jurists, In support OF
the claim Of Mexico lor Jurisdiction over
oaenses committed against Mexlcans on
foreign territory.
He cites among ethers Judge Story,
who, In reviewing a New York decision,
says that, although the laws Of every
country are in their nature lccal, yet an
otfense may be committed In one sover-
eighty In violation OF the laws Of another,
and II the offender be atterward found in
the latter State he may be punished &C.
Cording 10 the laws thereof, and the fact
that no owes allegiance TO another SOW
ereignty can not be pleaded as q bar to
indictment.
The letter closes as follows; ~ am fully
convinced that Mr.. Bayard's wisdom and
sincerity, which have been shown In his
prudent conduct since he was informed
through my letter to Mr.. jackson OF the
impoGsibilities on the part OF our Govern.
ment 10 secure the immediate release oi
Mr.. Cutting. / also fully appreciate the
sincerity OF his repeated assurance ol
friendly consideration for Mexico given to
you. But our friendly consideration foi
the Government OF the United States is
no less alncere and profound, and we have
sufficient confidence In its wisdom and
Justice to expect that when, upon learning
the whole truth, il fnds that lie has taken
q wrong position, 1t will not hesitate 10 re-
cede from the same, and will know how
to do US justice"
Interest in the case ia abating, as It Ia
believed the matter will be settled by di'
plomatc negotiations. Public confidence
is felt here In the discretion and patriotism
OF Minister Romero. The best class Of peo'
pie here express friendly sentiments for
the people Of the United States.
