ST. PAUL, Dec. 16.-When asked by
n reporter to-day as to the mission Of
Mgr. Satolli and the extent of his
powers, Archbishop Ireland replied that,
in view of the contradictory reports put
into circulation regarding Mgr. Satolli,
and of the uncertainty into which, IN
consequence, the public mind has been
thrown, he is not now unwilling to
speak, however persistent was hereto
fore his resolve to be silent. He said
WILL REMAIN FOR A LONG TIME.
mgr. O'Connell, who had been
especially chosen by the pope to &C.
company Mgr. Satolli to America and
to introduce him into his new sur
roundings, sails from New York to-
morrow, returning TO his duties as
rector Of the American College in Rome.
His work in America is finished, and
his departure has no further signifi.
canoe. Mgr. Satolli remains and will
remain with us for good while to
come. The report that he has been re.
called by the pope or is likely to be
soon recalled is simply absurd.
OPPOSITION TO HIM is OPPOSITION TO
THE POPE.
"This report and others revealing a
similar animus are the inventions of
parties who suffer defeat from his pres
cnce, and would be delighted if, by
creating public opinion adverse to his
influence, they could in some manner
force him to retire from the country.
But those parties know neither Mgr.
Satolli nor Leo XIII. Mgr Satolli
represents the pope, Opposition to
him is opposition 70 the pope, Disre-
spcct to him. criticism TO him, is disre-
spect to or criticism of the pope.
SENT TO SPEAK ON THE SCHOOL CUES
TION BY THE POPE,
"He was sent directly by Pope Leo to
speak to the archbishops assembled in
New York the mind of Leo on the
school question. II Is sheer nonsense to
say that he was admitted by courtesy to
the conference, He told the archbishops,
as the official report Of the conference
asserts, he spoke i'll the name of the pope
and declared the thought Of the pope.
THE school question had for more than
a year agitated the church in America
Amid the din Of controversy the appeal
to Rome was loud, the cry went out
ceasclessly that Rome should speak and
that nothing else could re.establish
peace So Rome resolved to speak and
spoke through a living accredited rep
rpsentatiye. Those Who were sincnra
in their appeal will now he silent and
satisfied.
