 NEW YORK, Oct. 13-The Catholic News of this city has receiXsd the following from its special correspondent at Rome:
 ROME, Oct. 12.-The halls of the vatican were bustling with animation when at 1:3O the German emperor arrived, accompanied by his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, Count Herbert Bismarck and Minister Won SchloeZer, the Prussian representative at the vatican, and a few others of his suite.
 The members of the pontitical court had been summoned to be in attendance at 1 o'clock, and at that hour precisely Mgr. della Volpe appeared and opened the anti-camera Shortly after Mgr. Macchi, the popes major domo, came in. He was followed by Mgr Sinistri, the master of the pontifcal cere- monies; Mgr. Pifferi, bishop of Porphireon and rector of the vatican parish, and Mgr CaSSette, the archbishop of Nicomedy and private almoner of the pope. The private chamberlain of service, Mgr Marina, was accompanied by the chamberlain of honor, who had been invited to the receptiSl. The lay court was represented by Prince Don Francis Euspol, Marquis Sacchetti, Marquis Serlapi and Prince Altieri-all dressed in the handsome uniform of Spanish knights There were also present the Count de Courten, colonel of papal Swiss guards; Marquis La vaggi, of the Palatine guard, and other dig nitaries of the pontihcal, ecclesiastical and lay courts.
 The carriages of the German emperor, brought expressly from Berlin for this occa- sion, appeared on the great plaza of St. Peters at :15. Mgr. Macchi, with half of the mem berS of the papal court, proceeded down the great staircase to the St. Damascus court yard to meet him. Mgr. della Volpe, with the others, remained in the Clementine hall, the chamberlain of service alone staying in the ante chamber to notify the pope when the emperor reached the pontiff's private apart ments,
 It was just 1:S0 when the emperor entered the papal rooms, where he received the salute of the pontifical court and soldiery. His holiness had meanwhile come as far as the throne hall, and there he met the emperor and kissed him with fatherly love. Both en- tered the first reception room aud the doors were closed behind them.
 The emperors suite during the interview were entertained by the papal court in the ante-chamber, general introductions being made by Minister Von Schloezer and Mgr. hdccul. 1ne pope rang the Dell at the con 1 clusion of the audience and soon was chatting with the emperor's friends, having the kind est of words for Prince Henry and Count Bismarck.
 After the audiencs the emperor, escorted by Cardinal Rampolla and the members of the papal court, visited the museums of the vati- can and expressed pleasure at the sights pre- sentcd. When he was about to depart the l members of the papal court formed in line and escorted him to the carriage at Damascus l courtyard.
 Not one of the members of the political l court has been able to enlighten me on the 1 subject discussed by the emperor and the 1 pope, but all are of the opinion that the 1 question of the temporal power not l ignored, and their words indicate that the manner of his holiness and the pleasant l smiles of the emperor have given them tc believe that the meeting will be followed by 1 an important change. His holiness looked as strong as ever during the ceremonies, anG when he-an agei priest, white with the | years of the altar-embraced the young anG mighty emperor at parting, there was 1 scene we'll worth the study of the greatest 1 painter
