KATZER is ANGRY.
The Badger Archbishop Becomes
Excited When Asked About
Satolli's Address.
Mgr. Zeininger Says the Opinion
Set Forth Is Merely the Leg
ate's Personal One.

katZer, or THIS city, Is one OF the LEAFLETS
among the Catholic clergy of America
opposing the Faribault school system.
He was asked his opinion of Mgr.
Satolli's practical Endorsement OF the
Faribault system before the recent arch
episcopal conference in New York as
reported from St.Louis. The archbishop
became excited. declared that he was
thoroughly familiar with its contents.
but would not discuss it. Mgr. Zelnln-
ger, who was present, SuggeSten that
the archbishop might show to the re-
porter letter he had received from Dr.
ID. }. OConnell. Mgr. SatOlli's cOmpan-
ion, with reference to the pamphlet
from which the report sent out from st.
Louis is taken. The archbishop pro-
duced the letter. 1t is dated Nov. 26,
and in it DR.. O'Connell said:
do not think it is the opinion of Mgr.
Satoili that the responsibility of the
pamphlet rests with the archbishop"
''By the pamphlet is meant this dis
patch. which reports quite accurately
the speech of Mgr. Satoll," said the
archbishop.
"Do you mean to say that Dr.. O'Con-
nell holds that the suggestions of Mgr.
Satoli are not obligatory upon the arch
bishop" was asked.
They are not. They are Mgr. Satolli's
personal opinions" the archbishop eX-
planned. Mgr. Zeininger made this ex-
planation:
"Although the speech of Mr.. Satolli
was read and discussed at the late arch
episcopal conference it was not adopt
ed. Moreover, the resolution which
pledged adherence to the rules laid
down at the council of Baltimore was
adopted instead. About twelve days
ago we received pamphlet in Latin
and English, and containing Mgr. Sa-
TOLLS, speech in full. We expressed
surprise at the publication of the
pamphlet and the speech, since the lat
ter had left no impression upon the &C
ton of the archbshops and was not
adopted. In reply to a query we re-
ceived the letter from DR.. O'Connell.
Now, the st. Louis dispatch is taken di-
rect from that pamphlet. 1t isa verba-
tim copy of the English version, and
considering that the pamphlet had been
in our possession twelve days and had
been distributed through all the cities
of the country, the subject of the dis
patch is pretty STALE"
as the speech of Mgr. Satolli objec-
tlonable?' was asked of Mgr. ZeiningeI.
''lt is, certainly" he replied. ''Other-
wise the council would have adopted it.
The great majority of the archbishops
and bishops are opposed to mixing with
the state"
docs Mgr Satolli not represent the
views of the pope?'
81 have no reason to believe" said
Mgr Zelninger, "that the holy father
holds the same views. We have almost
positive proof that he does not favor the
Faribault plan, while Mgr. Satoli's Sug-
gestions are prac tically plea for the
adoption of that plan"
''Is it not evident that the hierarchy
the bishops in America-are split up
over the school question:"
"Tney are not" Mgr. Zeininger re-
piled. "There may be one exception:
that is ALL All are agreed that it is i'm
lie schools"
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Tbe attention
of Mgr. Satolli was today called, at the
Catholic university in this city, to the
Milwaukee dispatch. protesting to give
the views of Archbishop KatZer upon
the Faribault plan OF school system and
Mgr. Satolli's practical Endorsement of
that plan. Speaking through DR.. O'Gor-
man, the papal ALLOCATE said he did not
desire to enter into any controversy.
The archiepscopacy of the United
States had been Off cially informed of
the legation powers with which he was
invested. Secondly, he had brought,
and had laid before the archblshops in
their meeting in New York, the pope's
views on the school question. These
views had been verbally given, but
were correctly embodied in the pamph-
let that had been made public. The holy
father earnestly desired that the work
OF the church should he carried OIL
in harmony with the government in all
matters where cardinal doctrines of re-
llgiouS belief were not directly involved.
Where there were no parochial schools,
it was his wish that the children of
Catholic parents should attend the pub
lie schools and receive their religious
teaching at home. Where there were
parochIal schools the church preferred
that the children should attend them,
though no compulsion was sought to be
exercised. Mgr. Satolli further desired
to correct misstatement that had been
sent out that his instructions and pow
erS had been verbally conveyed. They
were in writing and had been attested
by the cardinal Cardinal Gibbons) and
laid before the archbishops in New
York. In the school questions only the
pope's views had been verbally eX-
pressed, and those views had been &C
curately repeatedly Mgr. Satolli.
