SATOLLI'S POWER.

The Detective Theory Pronounced Fool
ish-The Pope's Language.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. IA. 1892.-The
discussion Of the visit of Mgr.
Satolli to this country and his acts have
led to the use of the many titles con-
corning him. but he was yesterday dubbed
'Papal Detective" by the opponents
OIL Archb bishop Ireland, who speculated
on the probability of there being some
thing found in Archbishop Ireland's mo-
tlVes and methods that would avail
against his reform of the Catholic schools
reported to Rome.
Henry j. Shaunhorft was asked yester-
day what, in his opinion, was Mgr. Sa-
toilrs business here. He replied:-"I
cannot say. He was undoubtedly here
for some special purpose. but representa-
tives Of the Pope attend to their business
quietly. He is a sort of a detective, |
think.
Rome wants. no doubt, to know moro
than has been reported to her on the con-
dition of Catholic affairs in this
country. especially on the school
question, than has been presented
by those who are interested. So Mgr
Satolll WAS sent quietly to find out the
positions of the leaders and their motives
ana methods. When Rome speaks we
viii learn alI about the matter, and no.
until then"
"Oh. that's all posh," said Father Phe-
Ian, editor of the Western Waterman,
In a positive manner. when the
foregoing theory was detailed to
him. HAS not Mgr. Satolli spoken
plainly enough? That address is the Ian
guage of the Pope himself. 1t is the po-
sitlon of Rome on the school question
and these parties have got to take their
medicine.
Now this other thing about Mgr.
SatoIh being sort of detective
Is. only another phase of q
desperate motive. but do not quite
understand it. There is nothing in it,
however, because Rome does not have TO
have nan watched to discover hts mo-
tives. Besides. Rome approves Arch.
bishop Ireland's position on the school
question:

PESHALL AND HALLINGER
The Lawyer Assures the Murderer
That Death By the Rope Is

Charles j. Peshall said today that he
would start for Washington at twelve
o'clock tonight to get writ

to state the ground of the application,
but he had consulted three eminent
lawyers and they all advised him that he

Mr.. Charles j. Peshall attempted to Sc
cure respite for Hallinger from Cover

Governor at his Office in New York and
had long conference with the Executive.
The Governor listened patiently
while Mr.. Peshall explained that he
based his application upon the ground
that he wanted more time to prepare for
his application for q writ of er-
ror al Washington on Friday.
Mr.. Peshall said that he had
only received che decision of the United

Hallinger's case from the Hudson County
Court officials.
The Governor listened atteatively to
Mr.. Peshall and when he had concluded
he said that he could not interfere. Every
effort had been made to protect Kallin-
ger; in fact extraordinary precautions
had been taken to prevent any Of his
rights under the constitution or other
wise from being violated. No 1n-

the law was permitted to take its course

did not think he could grant

Peshall thought he could get the

Mr.. Peshall was not discouraged, and he
begged the Governor to grant him even

not to decide the matter at once.

it. This favorably impressed the
Governor and he said he would consider
the last application over night, and make
known his decision tomorrow.
