and is accompanied by the following
statement:
LIN accordance with resolution OF the
board the foregoing abstract has been
approved by the most eminent chair
man Cardinal GlbbOnS), and by his
grace the most reverend archbishop of

These approved minutes will prob
ably be accepted by Catholics every
where as conclusive on the disputed
questions as to what took place III the
conference of archbishopS as to Mgr.
| Satolli's mission, and the views OF the
papai lega:e laid before the conference
on the public schools question. Fol
| lowing are the extracts bearing on this
| matter:
"The first session opened at 10 a. M,
| Nov. 16, 1892. His eminence, Cardinal
Gibbons, opened the conference with
prayer. Archbishop Ireland rendered
| his resignation as secretary OF the
| board, and Bishop Chapelle was chosen
i i'll his stead. Then the cardinal intro
| duced the apostolic delegate, the Most
Rev. Archbishop Satolli. He informed
the metrOpolitanS that he had been
commissioned by the holy father
to speak to them, in his name, on the
| question of Catholic education. lie then
read and explained fourteen prOpCsi-
tons which he laid before the arch
bishops for the purpose of finally SET
| tling the school question and of indicat-
| ing the means that should be adopted
for the imparting of religious lnStruc-
ton to Catholic children.
After having declared that this state
ment was made in the name of the
pope, Mgr. Satolli went on to say that
he had been charged, moreover, by
| Leo XIII. to inform the metropolitanS
that, as it has been customary with the
holy see To appoint apostolic delegates
| to reside permanently i'll countries
where the hierarchy is well estab-
| liShed and religion is tiouriShing,
! it was the pope'S heartfelt desire
that now permanent apostolic delega-
ton should be established in the
United States with the concurrence OF
the most reverend archbiSh0pS. At the
| afternoon session of the same day the
document presented by Mgr. SatOlli
| was taken up and some notifications
| suggested. Mgr Satolli, who after
ward entered the meeting, explained
that the document represented the mind
of the pope, which did not admit of dis
cussion; that he style and expressions
were his (Mgr. Satolli'S) own, and that
he would be most happy 10 make in
them any notifications the assembled
| prelates deemed better.
Sin the seventh and last session, Sat
urday, Nov. 10. the most reverend dele
gate made a kindly and most eloquent
speech. thanking the prelates for their
kind reception and adding that their de-
cellent results. At the request of all
| the members of the board, he kindly
| consented to alter the last sentence of
| mis- pamphlet by concluding this i'm
| pOrtant document with the following
| words: All of which has been read and
| weighed In the meeting of the archbiSh-
| ops. the difficulties have been solved,
| and the notifications asked for have
been made. 1t was unanimously
resolved that the most EN-
inent chairman should convey
| by letter to the most reverend
apostolic delegate their grateful &C
acknowledgements, deep sense of respect
and best wishes for his person and sa-
cred character. They were indeed
grateful to the holy father for having
sent to them so learned and holy rep
resentative on special mission, the
duties of which he had so ably dis
charged"
ROME, Dec. 14.-Much irritation eX-
lists at the Vatican OIL account of the
attacks made by certain American
Catholic journals on the person and the
mission of Mgr. Satolli. 1t is learned
that, as regards the opposition made
to the policy of the pope, the Vatican
may cause an inquiry to be made
into its origin. The holy father is
DESTROYS that his agents shall be re-
| spected, and that his views of pacihca-
| ton in the United States shall be fol
| lowed. If there be any need Of it the
| pope will in this instance also take
| severe measures with those who oppose
| his intervention. 1t is believed here
| that the Vatican knows whence the
| hostile American criticisms proceed.
