FORT MONROE, Apl. 19.-Another
foreign ship passed in between the
capes early this morning and dropped
anchor with the fleet. The French
flagship Arethuse, which has been
daily expected for some time, was sight
ed before many persons were astir. AT
eight o'clock, as the bands on the flag
ships at anchor were playing the ma
tional anthem, the big cruiser came
lazily drifting down in the Roads under
easy steam, and just as she got abreast
ofthe Philadelphia the United States en-
sign was broken out from the ship
and as its folds Strengthened out to the
stiff breeze q guns were fired in its
honor. The Arethuse had hardly taken
her 70 ition with her two compan-
ions, the Jean Bart and Hussard, at
the extreme east end of the fleet, when
the water battery at the fort an
swered her gun for gun; then Admi-
raj Gherardi was saluted with Il more
guns and the Philadelphia promptly
responded with the same number.
The ceremonies over, the Frenchman
turned her attention to the foreigners
in the harbor and for over half an hour
there was an incessant bombardment
Of the quick regular volleys of the
Britishcrs, the deliberate sharps cracks
of the Russians, the heavy ponderous
thunder of the Hollandcr, and the
prompt, smart reports OF the Italian as
they saluted or answered the salutes
of the admiral commanding the new
arrival. In the afternoon the CON-
mander Of the Arethuse stepped into
his gig and was rowed to the Philadel
phia, where he called officially upon
Admiral Gherardi and was received
with due ceremony. Thirteen guns
announced his departure, and later
when Admiral Gherardi returned the
call the same ceremonies were enacted
aboard the French ship. During the
afternoon the French admiral will call
upon Col. Frank and the officers of the
foreign ships. Just before noon the
new cruiser Detroit, which has had
her trial trip north, came into the
Roads, with two brooms made fast to
her rigging, indicating that the navy
had another ship that could sweep the
seas. She circled around the fleet and
then steamed out for Baltimore.
The harbor continues to fill up with
all sorts of pleasure boats, big side
wheel steamers and luxuriant yachts.
Many people who could not obtain ac-
commodations on shore have come in
their chartered steamers and live
aboard them at night, while the day
they spend visiting the ships and see
ing the sights in the harbor

The Papai Delegate and his Decisions.
Permit q Catholic who has studied
the decisions of Mgr. Satolli with some
care, to correct two or three errors into
which the G AzErTE has fallen as to those
decisions. In the first place he has not
only not attempted ITO break up the
parochial schools" but has cordially
approved and commended them as the
ordinary meals for the education of
Catholic children. All that he has done
is to suggest the best available methods
OF educating such children in their faith
as well as in secular science, where coed
parochal schools cannot be maintained,
and tocurb the mistakeuzcal ofthosewho
Would use the censures of the Church in
an unreasonable manner in the premises
By restricting the rightful liberty of her
members, who are simply bound in con-
science, by the law of God, to see that
their children receive thoroughly
Catholic education, in all things relat-
ing to faith and morals.
As to secret societies, the Catholic
Church does not approve them, nor does
afnr. Satciii. But it is one thing to
approve and quite another to condemn.
All that he has done i'll the matter is to
prc'7:3e for an examination into the
character Of each particular organiza
ton, to see whetheriti is 50 dangerous TO
Catholic faith or morals that condemna
ton Is necessary and 10 advise Catholics
not to become members until a decision
is arrived at while those who are al
ready members, whether through igno-
rance Of a supposed prohibition or
through Indifference TO it, are permit
ted, as justice would seen 10 require, to
remain il membership pending that de-
cisioh
As.to the case of Dir McGlynn, the
GAZETTE entirely overlooks the fact
that the decision CT the papal delegate is
merely on an appeal from the archdio-
cesar court OF New York, on point in
which many Catholics, both clerical
and lay, thought him unjustly treated,
and has no connection whatever
with subsequent acts Of bis, which they
strongly disapprovcd but which have
not, as he had already been excommu-
micated, been brought before the &C.
clcsiastical tribunals.
Allthesc things are mere matters ofdis-
cipline, and the Catholic Church. while
maintaining her dogmas Of faith and
morals in all ages invariable and without
regard TO consequences, has always al
tered her discipline when she could do
so without prejudice 20 those dog
mas, to suit the usages of every coun-
try and of every age. a CATHOLIC.

DISSOLUTION OF PASTORAL RELA-
TIoNs.-Tho dissolution of tie pas
toral relations existing between
Rev. DR.. James T. Leftwich
and the First Church, which the Pre-
bytery of Baltimore was called upon
to perform yesterday, was one OF the
most touching and impressive duties
which has come before it for many
years. DR.. Leftwich asked for the ac-
ton at the morning session. His eye
sight, he said, had become so bad that he
could hardly read. DR.. Jones, stated
ceik, read the action of the session and
congregation ofthe First Church when
DR.. Leftwich notified them of his inten
ton TO resign, and asked them to unite
with him in requesting the presbytery
to dissolve their pastoral relations.
Messrs. w. w. Spence, as representa-
tive of the session, John V. L. Findlay,
as that ofthe trustees, and DR.. Daniel
c. Gilman, as representative of the con-
gregation, made speeches, in which
they enumerated DR.. Leftwich's many
virtues and reluctantly agreed to the
separation.-Baltimore Sun.

THE report that the President is re-
solved to di>associate politics from the
management of government affairs
would be decidedly more gratifying if
that meritorious resolution had been
preceded by an equal division, accord
ing to their politics, of the employees
of the government. As he did not do
so, his commendable resolution must be
utterly impotent, as nearly all the en-
ployees referred to are rank republic
cans, and therefore, and only naturally
will join republican politics with their
official duties. And so in this, as in
other, cases good intentions don't pave
the road to heaven.

For TILE first and only time in many

For THE first and only time in many

whose communication appears in an

The GAZETTE has not flllen into

but distinguished officials of the Cath
Ole church. and reliable newspapers
Of that chm E-o;n the time
Archbishop Ireland first advocated the
sending of Cathoiic children to the pub
lie schools, until the pspal delegate sus-
tanned him, said that advice was an
attempt to break up the parochial
schools-as it naturally was we'll cal
culated to do. The papal delegate has
decided that members of the church
who have disobcycd its orders and
joined secret society, the knights OF
Pythias, may retain their membership
of the church, and that, too, though the
church especially declares that those Sc
cret societies not cihcallycondenlned'
are not ssproved. The papal delegate, as
every body knows. removed, without
penance, the ban Of accommodation
from a priest who advocates the idea
that the rich mans palace and his bonds
and stocks should not be taxed, but
that the poor mans lot should be, who
disobeyed the special orders of his su-
perior officer, and who publicly ridi-
culed the Pope before an audience of
soothing infdels and communists. The
GAZETTE said nothing about the rea-
sons that influenced the papal delegate;
it only alluded to his actions, and their
legitimate effect. The church is right;
it is the delegate who has had bad adj
visers, and who is therefore wrong.

OLDEST SYEIAC TEXT OF THE Cos
PELs.-A Berlin despatch credits Pro-
lessor Harris, of Cambridge, with the
statement that palimpsest containing
the complete Syrian text ofthe four Cos
pels has been discovered in the Convent
of Mount Sinai. If this report is con-
firmed it will create an intense stir
among Biblical students throughout
the world. AS far as it goes the manu-.
script reported to be newly, found will
probably antedate the Peshito Syriac,
which is the oldest and the most i'm
portant Syriac version of the Scriptures
now know to be in existence, and has
been known to scholars since A. D. 373.
After Constantine Tischendorfs cele-
brated discovery in 1874 and 1859 of
the Codex Sinaiticus, containing the
entire New Testament without the
least break-a codex evidently written
as early as the fourth century-scholars
will not be incredulous of the new find
in the same convent which is said to be
reported by Professor Harris, of Cam
bridge. The interest attaching to such
Syriac version of the Gospels can
hardly be overrated.-Neac York Her.

Tho Militia Warrants.

During the numerous Indian wars from
1856 up to the time of the civil war, and
during the continuance of that great
struggle, and during the administration
of Governors Sheldon and Ross, large
indebtedness was incurred by the terri
tory calling out the militia from time to
time. This debt has never been paid.
The warrants were issued for service, and
the men who turned out in defense of
their country should long ago have re-
ceived something more substantial than
paper promise. The present legislature
has appointed committee to investigate
militia warrants find out the amount is
sued and determine as to the genuineness
of the warrants. The committee has a
hard Job ahead of it, but one which ought
to be acknowledgements Citizen.
The Optic most heartily endorses the
foregoing. No debt is more sacred, by
any country, than that which has been in
Cured in the country's defense; and it is
to the disgrace of New Mexico that these
militia warrants have so long remained
un paid. Every citizen of this bright and
beautiful cline, who is permitted to enjoy
it, undisturbed by the war-hoop of the
Indian or by the dread of his tomahawk
and gun, owes the fact to those who
fought the battles of the territory against
the blood thirsty and devilish Apache; and
every such citizen should be willing to
pay the claims of those who thus won this
land from the domination of thered man.
Let the legislature pass the bill to pay
these warrants, and let it be done at once.
Las Vegas Optic.
