Satolli's Mission.

Once a year the archblshops OF the
thirteen provinces into which the Cath
Ollie Church In the United States is d.
vided meet to discuss the state OF the
affairs of their respective charges and
to devise ways and means for promoting
the general welfare OF the Church. The
conference for 1892 began at the
residence OF Archbishop Corrlgan, on
Madison avenue, on last Wednesday,
November 16.
In clerical circles II is regarded as the
most important ecclesiastical convoca-
ton since the third Plenary Council of
the Church In the United States, which
was held in Baltimore November to
December z, 1884. This character Is ex-
pected from questions that will prob
ably come up before 1t and from the
presence OF the official delegate from
the Pope, Archbishop Satolli. Cardinal
Gibbongs, Archbishop OF Baltimore, pre-
side
MEMBERS OF THE CONFERENCE.
Besides the Cardinal the following are

power OF the Pope included In the pro-

81 do not doubt but what this atten-

expenditure OF money. 1t Is universal
custom In China to pay tribute to every
thing and everybody, and in that coun-
try no official considers it a crime to

consider it as a brIbe, but rather as one
OF their legitimate Prerequisites. L

"a small fortune, you might say, and
in truth it was, but in reality it was but
the beginning. There has already been
spent on these Chinese concessions GER
tainly not less than 100000, and 1t will
take as much more TO secure them.
What will they be worth? No man can
tell. Millions certainly, but how many?
it takes ones breath away in very truth
when he thinks of the possibility. just
think of the value to-day Of the entire
railroad system OF the United States,
the telegraph reaching into every hole
and corner of the land, and the tele-
phone system now in nearly every city
OF any size. Their value is billions of
dollars-not millions. Such must ulti-
mately be the value of the same kind OF
property in China, where there are 400,
600, 900 people, and where there is an
area of four times the size Of the United
States.

Nineteenth century be practically with

There is a great deal OF what we call
red tape in this country in everything
official in China. You can get some idea
of the formality OF things when / tell
YOU that before l reached the august
presence of Ii Hung Chang was pre-
sented in turn to seven different OFF,
Gals, each higher than the one who pre-
sented me. Finally reached the Prime
Mini ster. BY that time was very much
worked up, and scarcely able to make
good presentation OF my case through
the interpreter. But any nervousness
that may have felt was doubtless over
come by the rich presents l brought,
and which were placed at LII Hung
Chang's feet with great cermony.
