ous conduct ne had ever heard proposed. Nc

waive the point, bur would like TO have his ex.
cepton saved.

and some hisses both from the body Of the hall

WASHINGTON CITY. Dec. 5.-Monsigneur sa
tolli. apostolic delegate today dictated the fol-
lowing in reply to Baltimore dispatch saying
that he had been appointed TO settle all differ
ences between the bishops and priests of this
country:
The report is not exact Il is true that by let
ters dated from the beginning of last month I
have received authority to examine and decide
without appeal the controversies arising be-
tween the bishops and priests in the United
States. 1t is absurd to ascribe to me the place
aud authority of pope in the American
church. As to Cardinal Gibbons. for whom the
apostolic delegate entertains the highest vener-
alton and special affection. he has preserved all
the dignity and authority which belongs to his
Office. There is no reason tor surprise in this
case, as the pope is accustomed to send dele
gates from time to time to various countries on
similar missions, with similar powers
