Mr. Davis, Il member Of the committee
on foreign relations. looked upon the
house bill a rank, radical. uublush-
/ lng, uumltlgdted reputation or every
treaty Obligation remaining between the
United States and China. II said that
the Chinese government was not auX-
iOus for It's people 10 come 10 the / nite1
States Bat how was il. h- asked with
the government Of the Western hemls-
phere? There was more matter for
profound considerations, ne thought. IN
the attempts OF Mr.. Clhensly. who had
submitted 10 the pope last year u prop1-
sltIOn intended 10 denatlOnaliZe Amer
lean Institutions. and 10 supDlant them
by the institutions OF as many nation
alities as were 10 be found in Amerlcl,
than there was in all the Chinese ques-
lions that had arisen since ISIS.
That gentleman Mr.. Caheusty) pro-
proposed 10 use the power Of the Cafho-
he hierarcy To bring about that great
political result. He Davis reJOiced
that he could speak of the matter with
out committing the Otens- OF trcldlug
on religious ground. because 10 WAS in
hultcly to the credit OF Pope Leo Kill,
the greatest statesman who has sat on
the pOutlhcal throne for centuries, that
he had rcptlied the proposition rs soon
as made 10 him. He Mr.. Davis be-
lIeycd the attempt met with the repro
baton OF Cardinal Gibbons, and he
knew that ii met with the reprO5atlon
OF Archbishop ireland.
This Mr.. CahenSly, Mr.. Davis said.
WAS not priest but laynan "a mem
Der OF the Prussian diet. In the
memorial which he presented 10 the
Vatican he claimed that the want Of
representation oil the different national
tiles OF cnIgrant' in the eDlocopate was
one OF the chief causes OF desertiOn on
the part of the Catholic forces; and
hence it was desirable that every DIFF
ferent national group OF emigrants
should be organized into distinct
parish. with a priest or Its own ma
tionalIty.
1t was one Of this mans schemes that
the various foreign languages should be
perpetuated in the United States by the
segregation OF people according 10 ma
tiOnaItJ. How utterly ObllYlOu5 Is ld
Mr.. Davis he is u the idea that there
Is an American nationality and an
American people. Never had there
been more Infamous attempt To prGS-
titute the religious power 10 polltlcais
purposes than was expressed III that
memorial. FhS man, he said, was 10
incOnSiderabe mau; he was il man WHO
could combine allies.
1t had been stated that Mr. SchI0eZer,
the German representative at Rome.
was in hearty accord with him and
backed up the memorial; ald thai
American families OF high rank and
royal and noble circles were Interested
in the scheme. but it was to the glory Of
the American hierarchy that it mad
fought the proposition. Perhaps Mr..
Davis said in conclu ion) | have gone
out of my way to bring up this subject
now, but it 50 far uwarfS by contrast
the danger to tie apprehended from the
Chinese that | could not refrail from H.
At the close of Mr.. Davis speech,
without any action on the bill, the SEN
ate went into executive session and
soon adjourned till tomorrow.
