THE P0PE'S POLICY
TOWARD ENGLAND AND IRELAND
The vaaoap's Reply to sall,bur5-Ehe Pope
OAnnot Help England in Securing a sst
tloment of the Irish ousStlon-othsr
Foreign Nows of General Interest.

RoME, Jan. 19.-The 0piniOns says II Ia
not probable thst the Pope seriously in.
tends to intervene in the settlement Of the
Irish questions in the intersst Of the pres
ent British Government.
| II the Duko Of Norfolk really he's en-
official mission there Ia nothing to justify
the hope that 1t will be successiul.
Tho Pope, it says, cannot go beyond ad-
vising the Irish bishops to follow policy
Of prudence and moderation, the Irish
question being an economic and national
one, and not Of religious nature. The
0pinione extols Mr.. Gladstone's policy as
the most likely to pacify Ireland.
The statement that Mgr. Per0ico Ia
about to return to Rome ia incorrect. The
papRl envoy will probably proceed to Lon-
don shortly, but will sgain return to Ire.
land. Mgr, Persico is somewhat seriously
indlspoBed, although not to such an ex.
tent as TO ne4essitste his return to Italy.
The Duke ol Norfolk will remain here ior
some time longer.
A prelRte occupying q high position at
the Vatican, was interviewed to-day on
the subject OF negotiations between tho
British Government and the Holy See
with regard TO the Irish question, "Ths
English Government" he said, "Want the
Vatican to publicly avow and to express
It's disspprobation oil the aCts Of the Ma
tionaliats, and hers l may add, once for
all, that however unwelcome 1t may be to
the English Catholic press to adqit that
these negotiations have been going on,
such Is indisputsdly the case. To say the
contrary is to betray absolute ignorance Of
what Ia transplrlng or to be williully
mendacious. To continue, however, tho
Vatican replied to this request OF the Eng.
lish Government that 1t would be very
willing TO exhort the bishops, clergy and
Catholic lRity OF Ireland to moderation,
but at the present moment 1t is quite i'm
possible that 1t can proceed to public re.
probation OF what has been done by the
Nationalists. The Holy See, therefore,
urged the English Government to have
both patience and confidence in the
future.
"rhe reason why the Pope hesitstes to
take the course go much desired by the
Salisbury cabinet Is that even in England
public opinion Is very much divided on
the subject. In short, the Irish currentis
too strong Just at present for the Holy Sse
to feel sufficient confidence In his ability
to stem 1t. The advantages Of tho British
Government have, therefore, been met by
the Vatican with q request that the Gov
ernment will continue to'hsve patience
and place its confidence in the benevolent
intentions Of the Holy Father"

A COVETED CHARTER.
Tho Western National Bank of New Yor
DIoker1nC With MsxIoans.

Tho Western National Bank of New York
DIckerIng With MsxIcans.
CRY or MEXICO, Jan. 19.-It ia stated,
on what appears to be reliable authority,
that the Western National Bank Of New
York has appointed an sgsnt here for the
purpose OF getting control OF the charter
Of the Mortgage Bank, Of this city. It has
the power to issue certificates OF deposits,
but no notes.
At present the only rights to issue notes
are those held by the National Bank oi
Mexico aud the London Bank Of Mexico
and South America. 1t was for long
time supposed that the National Bank
had monopoly on notes, but the London
Bank purchased the charter OF q moEibund
institution called the Employee Bank.
which hsd right to issue notes, OF which
it had never taken advantage.
These two banks are establishing
branches throughout the country, and ev-
identity expect to be able to control the
banking business Of the country, as tho
right TO issue certificates of deposit is aa
good thing as anybody wants.

will stand on good, solid footing II they
get possession Of the chatter Of the Mort
gage Bank. A committee Of three was sp-
pointed three days ago by the stockholders
OF the Mortgage Bank to confer with the
agent of the Western National. 1tis m.
derstood that two members Of the commit.
tee favored the acceptance Of the proposl-
tions made them, but the third, who ia q
gentleman OF large wealth and greatinAu.
ence, objected to the arrangement. The
nature Of his objections Is not known, but
as he is very earnest in his opposition he
will be very formidable obstacle to the
success OF the negotiations.
It is believed that this matter has been
grossly mismanaged, because the charter
Of the Mortgage Bank was conaidered o
few months ago almost valueless, and
could have been purchased without diff.
Guilty and for very small cum without
publicity bsing given to the negotiations,
but as the matter has leaked ont, 1t is sup.
posed that the two banks here will antag'
onizs the project In every possible way,
and should the Weatern National Bank
now get possession Of the coveted charter
it will only bs by paying lts full value. A
large American bsnk here would revolu-
tionizs the banking business Of the coun'
try and givs great impetus to American
business, On this account the mismsn-
ssement OF the negotiations and the prob.
able failure are doubly to be regretted.
