Epecial to THE MORNING CALI.

ROME, May 14.-The Latin text of papal
encyclical refutps the Socialists theories as
tending to abolish private property, and
uphOlds the principles Of the church as the
first and main element in the solution of
social questions. The true solution. the
Pope says, is to be found In the gospel,
which, rightly studied, would teach en-
plOyers and employed to become united
while fulfilling their respective duties. The
State should intervene to regulate private
property in order to insure public peace and
the moral and material welfare of the work
ing people.
The Pope comments on the necessity of
Sunday rest and deals at length with the
question of Strikes of wages and hours of
labor. He dilates on workngmen's asSoci-
ations, including societies for mutual aid
and accident insurance; treats of sick-bene-
fit funds, of technica! education and mixed
syndieates of employers and employees. The
State ought. he declares. to cOuntenance all
such institutions as calculated TO improve
existing social conditions.
He speaks Of the good work such institu-
tiOns have already achieved and calls upon
Catholics to assist in their formation urging
that all should be animated by a Christian

THE CRUISERS QUEST
Interest in the CharleStOn'S Mis-
sion Unabated.
Every Article Placed Aboard the Montserrat
Subjected to the Closest Scrutiny.
Garter Goes South

The interest in the Charleston's chase Of
the Chilean insurgent steamer Itata is un-
abated. In the absence of reliable news
concerning the movements of the two yes
sells, every rumor, no matter how idle, is
eagerly taken up and discussed with an
eagerness that is little less than remark
able. There seems to be general desire
that the Itata shorld escape the clutches Of
the great white cruiser, which is steaming
in her wake, but American pride, which Is
pronounced at all times, seems to have been
excited by the recent stirring events, and
there is no doubt that this feeling would be
gratifed by a lively brush between the
Charleston and the Esmeralda.
One thing seems to be assured, and that is,
that if Captain Remy oyerhauls tine two
vessels with orders to fight if necessary, he
viii carry his instructions out to the letter :.
WILL DO HIS DUTY.
Said a naval officer at the Palace last night
who has served ia days gone by with the
Commander of the American cruiser: You
can depend uDon it that Captain Remy will
carry his orders out to the letter. He is
one Of the strictest disciplinarians in the
navy. and is not man to deYiate hair
from his telegraphed instructions. II he
has been ordered to; overhaul the Itata he
will leave no stone unturned TO find her,
and if told to fight will go down with his
ship If the worst comes to the worst. He is
an admirable officer In every respect, and
Subordinates everything to duty"
The prevailing opinion among those who
have given the matter serious consideration
IS that the Esmeralda and not the IL alta is
the bearer of the arms and munitions, and

PURELY A LEGAL MATTER.
The Light in Which Rudini Now Views the
New Orleans Affair

ROME, May 14.-Rudini, in the Chamber
of Deputies to-day, discussing the New Or
leans affair, said it was simply legal ques-
tiOn. European sympathy was with Italy,
and he hoped for friendly solution Of the
questions involved.
Signor Qulntieri asked whether, in view
of the verdict of the New Orleans Grand
jury, it would not be more dignifed Ia re-
nOunce the matter and leave the response
bility for the lynchings Oh those tolerating
them. Signor Cavelletto expressed regret
at the rupture in the relations between the
United States and Italy. He thought little
should be said about the affair as it was a
very delicate matter. Premier Rudinisaid ex-
aggerated importance ought not to be given
to the affair. nor question that is essenti-
ally judicial be converted into one of national
dignity. Replying to question relating to
the New Orleans Grand jury and Signor
Corte, the Italian Consul at New Orleans.
Premier Rudini added that he had learned
through the newspapers of the incident re-
garding the Consul. If the news were true
the matter would in itself suffice to prove
the necessity of the recall of Consul Corte.

suggestion of arbitrating the difficulties be-

as Secretary Blaine has promised to con-
