The Ministry Tries to Make
Peace Now,
While Crispi Will Make COnces-
sions if in Power.
Cardinal Manning's Letter Has
Papal Approval
Interesting Speculation in Regard to
the future.

RoNr, March 2.-The enemies OF Car.
dinal Manning have spread the rumor that
the propaganda had sent letter of re-
proof to the illustrious Englshman on ac-
count of his socialistic letter entitled
Rome Francais" On the best informa-
ton the correspondent of the Associated
Press is able TO deny this rumcr. The
socialistic action of the cardinal is watched
at Rome with a sympathetic interest.
The declaration of the new Italian min
istry has been received at the vatican
with extreme reserve. They wait for the
actions Of the new government before
judging it. But theyare convinced thatths
cabinet will not favor anv anti-re igioUs
Laws and that II viii enforce with mOdera-
ton those row existing. an eccle,iastic
of high position said to your correspond
ent today.
The Italian government desires peace. II
will do nothing 10 wound The vatican. Ii has
been with and will therefore DO nothing to
offend US. VI. Dirudim Is persOnsliy favor
aDe 10 religious paclbcatiOn ana has placed
SignOr Chimini in the ministry OF agriculture
in order To have near him one intimate with
the high ecclesiastic circles. SgnOr Chimini
has long been in tayor OF conciliatOn aud has
urged an arrangement between the 0uirlnal
and the vatican. lie is personal friend Of
many prelates and of many catholics, and es-
pecally of those who form the concils-
tory Roman party, and who desire thai
the pope should permit the catholics 70
90 to the balloi boxes and to save the mnnar-
cby and the present unity by participation IN
political Affairs. Before the last election for
the legislature this catholic party had increased
its pressure upon the vatican aud upon the
pope win the intention of raising the inter
dict nt cie1i IA eJettOrl. Signor Capelio, the
late president Of the University Romania had
even made a kind OF Al alliance with SgnoF
Chimini and his friends The friends of Sig
nor Chimini end the cOnciliatOry catholics
were to form a kind OF union party and sup
port each other warmly in the elections, but
the pope has put down the rebellion OF SignoT
Cape.li and the compact has been broken for
the time.
Will il sncceed in the future? I do not
think so. No doubt the ministry has need of
the vatican in order 10 save its policy. SiguoT
Chimini has been added to the new ministry in
order to conduct icatholies to the polls when
hunted dcwn by the party OF the left, the party
of the right and obliged TO dissolve the cham
Der aud 10 consult the country. The quirinsl
wants absolutely q ministry and policy Of tho
right out of fear OF the rAdlcalism and masked
republ canism Of the left. They reckon there
FORE on the support OF cathol cs aud the hope
that SgnOr Chifnini will draw the catholic con-
servatives to the ballot-bOxes on The dSy when
il is needful TO strike a great blow. The king
and the monarchists have never given up their
hope of inducing the vatican 10 abandon its
latent hostility. Be, therefore. sure that sooner
or later Sgnor Chimlni and bis catholic
friends will make neg efforts to induce the
pope to cancel the lnterdct ni aettt M { ettOrt.
IL is doubtful whether the pope will yield. 10
is too late now Tor him 10 change his policy.
When Leo XIII came to power he was favor.
ably inclined to the participation Of the catho-
lies in the elections. Everything even
ready. The Roman princes had already taken
their measures IN order 10 put up catholic can
didates everywhere. But seized with fear Leo
XIII consulted the bishops. All the bishops
pleaded in favor of the continuance OF the old
state OF things n cletti hi eiettOri. Leo XIII
has not the courage TO 30 against the unAnJ-
mons fee ings of the episeOpecy.
nee then the pope has been diSenchanted.
He has more than once expressed his strong
desire to make peso, with the quirna, but he
hrs .en deceived Ia d hops. The more hs
spoke in favor of e reeonciliat on, the more the
O. iriERl took measures which were directed
against the holy see and The chlrch. The pope
has become convinced thar peace with the
royal house # Italy as impossible as the Save
yard dynasty is held IA bondage by revolution
and is the visible sign OF the war waged
against the pope. This being 80, 1t ~
not very likely that the vatican viii permit tho
catholics 10 20 to the bal.Ot-b0xes in ord to
save the monarchy which has done and vii do
all in its power to prevent solution Of tho
Roman question.
An interesting question Is, does the pope de-
sire the establishment of n republic? lie 10
waiting but expects nothing from the mOnar-
cby. Many catholics hope that the republic
will come sooner or later. aud that she viii
grant liberty to the holy see. Monarchy -
CONDEMNED by its very existence 90 prevent any
solution favorable. The sett.ed conviction in
ecclesiastical circles is therefore. that the pres-
ent cabinet will not wage war, but that II Is IN
able to get out of the present muddle- They
will walk round and round on one spot, but
they will not march forward.
1t is now a serted that the real mission
of Prince Jerome Napoleon, who is now
suffering from severe illness In this city
and who is reported TO have made will
disinherIting Prince Nictorie and naming
Prince Louis as the next emperor, is TO
endeavor to conciliate the vatican with
the quirinal.
At the vatican il is asserted that Signor
Crispi, late prime minister OF Italy, ex-
poets to return to power, and that he has
approached tie holy see With the view to
persuade the papal authorities not to ac-
cord concessions to the ministry of the
Marquis di Rudini, as the latter's cabinet
cannot last. Signor Crispi is said TO have
insisted that the pope ought not to allow
catholics to support the government at
the elections, and promised that if he re-
turns to power he viii make concessions
to the vatican.
The pope to-day is being congratulated
upon the occasion of the eightieth anni-
versary Of his birth. Upon receiving the
visit of the sacred co olege OF cardinals, his
holiness compared the position aud difh-
culties OF the church in present times
with the position of the church in the
days of Pope Gregory. The pope said
that he was gratifed at the progress of
the faith in England. he also SAID that
il God spared him until his episcopal ju-
bilee he would devote part of the offering
he might receive TO the suppression OF
