ROME, June 29.-Under instructions
from the Holy See an exact report of
the comment made and the impressions
produced IN the United States by the
project of Herr Cahensly regarding
emigration to America has been drawn
up, and is now under consideration at
the Vatican. The future action of the
pope will largely depend on the impress
sion created by the report, unfavorable
or otherwise. The opposition of the
American hierarchy to the scheme will
not tend to smooth the path of Herr
Cahensly or his colleagues, who.
however, show no signs of discour-
agement and evidetly intend to do their
utmost to secure their ends. The pope
has Just ordained that henceforth the
members of the pontifical diplomatic
body shall be recruited from the en-
ployeS of the congregation of eXtraor-
dinary ecclesiastical affairs: This con-
gregation, founded under Cardinal Con-
solvi by Pho VII, has charge of all
POiitic or Religious Questions
throughout the world, and is consid-
cred as the minister for foreign affairs
for the holy see. 1t is composed of nine
cardinals, secretary, under secretary
and several theologlans, charged with
the duty of drawing up the various re-
ports in connections with foreign mat
ters. All members of the diplomatic body
will be required to pass through
this ministry and also pass an eXamlna-
ton before commission of five meml-
berS under the direction of a president.
This examination will be both oral and
written, and will include history, diplo-
matte literature, law and relations be-
tween the church and the state. This
innovation is considered as. a very au-
spiciouS one, and as prelude to impor-
tant reforms of the system inaugurated
by Sixtus ". in order to adapt it to the
requirements of the present epoch. The
Catholic world here is endeavoring, in
order TO mitigate the economic crisis,
to promote in the European capitals
Catholic banks. which, working in con-
nection with each other, would form
| kind of international syndicate. In
order to attain this end the argument
| of BoutouX is advanced, alleging the
necessity of withdrawing the capital re-
sources and finances of the Catholic
world from what is practically
An Absolute Jewish Control.
This proposition was made once be-
fore, but fell through because it was
not based on business preliminaries. In
! spite of this the present promoters have
issued the following appeal: We learn
that Catholic bank is to be founded at
London, and a similar one having 94,
100000 capital, and named lie Credit,
will soon be established at Paris, by the
| side of the smaller bank, Les Etats
| Catalogues, which is already i'll exist
| ence. We also understand that llks
| financial institution IS in the course of
Frr. ~
fore be denied but that a certain tend
ency exists towards founding fnan-
| cial establishments destined to COM
bat the Capitalization of capital
| lists who for the greater part
are anti-Catbolic. 1t is, indeed, averred
| that the rich bankers who operate at the
| present time with capital whereof nine
parts out of ten belongs to Catholics
are to large extent Jews or Protest
ants; and is there not good reason to say
! that it is by the aid of our capital and
| influence that our enemies have trOd
| den under foot our dearest interests,
and the millions lost by Catholics turn
almost invariably TO the benefit of those
who do not share our religious belief?
A great ISraelIte banker, seeking to
ridicule the tendency of Catholics to
take into their own hands the eXploita
ton of their capital, once said that
Money has no smell; non Olet." This
is perfectly true; but what is equally
true, in our idea, was the fact that it is
Exceedingly PrejudiciaI
for Catholics that their capital should
be in the hands of those whose religion
is the born enemy of our own. The
wish to free ourselves from this control
cannot but be rightly approved by all.
Nevertheless, what we are the most
afraid of is that our efforts and good
wishes may only end in catac1ysm, as
in the memorable case of the La Grande
Dumonceau bank in Belgium, and of
| the Union Generate at Paris. In COM
J pleting this international union of
| Catholic banks there is always lack of
union and little zeal but by the capital
! lists, whoever they may be, in the scheme;
| and lastly, the miserable feeling of
| covetousness, giving wrong direction
to the interests placed in the care of the
| banks. which interests it is the duty of
| the banks to safeguard. These perils
may easily be avoided if the founders
and administrative council of the banks
| keep in mind the causes that have led
| to the decadence and ruin of former
| Catholic banks" 1t is affirmed that eff
| forts will be made in New York to OBJ
tain support for the scheme The holy
| see has been approached with view to
obtain its support, but has formally de-
clared that it will have no connection
with any combination of this kind.
