SatOllI rs Wired.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA cable mes
sage has been received by Mgr. Satolli
as follows:
"Rome, Jan. 1.-THE apostolic dele

United States, and you are confirmed as

The Importance of this message, pro
ceeding as it does from the American
secretary of the Propaganda, will be
readily appreciated. Inquiries at the
Catholic university, where Mgr. SatOlli
resides, fully confirm the authenticity
of the news.
When asked about the institution of
an apostolic delegation in the United
States this afternoon, Arcpbishop Ire
land said:
Eyes, permanent apostolic delega-
ton has been established for the UnIt-
ed States, and Monsignor Satolli has
been named first apostolic delegate.
The decree was issued in Rome last
evening. | have had myself this morn
ing a direct cablegram from the Eternal
City to this effect. | am heartily glad.
Controversies agitating for some time
past American Catholics are over. and
peace will reign. Monsignor Satolli
came to this country as papal ablegaIe
"a term which indicates temporary
mission and somewhat limited powers.
Objections were at once raised in GER

demanded, his mission declared
useless. To all clamorings of this
nature the pope gives answer
swift and effective. He declares that
we shall have permanent apostolic
delegation in the United States. SO
we'll satisfied is he with the work so far
accomplished by the ALLOCATE, and, as
personal recognition OF Mgr. Satolli's
merits, he names him the first apostolic
delegate. Leo XIII. is a man of firm
character; opposition strengthens his
resolve. All That has occurred since
Mgr. Satolli's arrival demonstrates the
more plainly the need of a rep
resentatlve of the pope, clothed with
well-defined and extensive powers.
For Catholics Rome is the supreme
tribunal; but Rome is rather far away.
A hand near by is needed that will at
any moment reach out and bid the sea
be placid. If some men had been seek
ing in most elfectual ways TO make evil
dent to all eyes the necessity of dele
gate in America, they could not have
adopted in proof of their Thesis more
effective arguments than the methods
they have been in fact pursuing. God
be thanked for all that has been done.
Catholic Home Rule.
"The Catholic church in America is
now thoroughly organized and has put
on the mantlings of perfect stature.
She has OIL her own territory supreme
court--a branch of the appellate court
of Rome, deriving from this latter its
life, but capable in itself of imm ediate
acting. This is home rule for Am cream
Catholics, so far as Catholics away from
Rome can have home rule. In addition
to our own energies and inspirations we
shall have, in all our undertakings, the
direction and impetus so directly as
never before, of the SOverei On head of
the church. Catholics will have a more
practical realization of what church
unity and papdl supremacy mean. Re-
mote authority dwindleS at times into
speculative theory, or an idle
beau ideal; present authority is living
fact; it tests ones obedience, while at
the same time adding new power for
Well-doing. So far as the country at
large is concerned. the American peo-
pie will welcome the recognition that
religious element in the land, so i'm
portant as the Catholic, has this new
glory added to its record. this new
strength infused into its life. More
over, closer acquaintance or the work

and salutary; it will dissipate many
old-time prejudices. The paDacy Will

most far-seeing, liberal mind in the
ayord today is that of Leo; the most

Catholics nor Protestants of America
know him sufficiently. 1t is the duty of
all to study him; it is the particular
duty of Catholics to draw nearer to him

Knows Of No Spies.
A New York Herald special cable of
yesterday contained the rumor that en-
issaries of Archbishop Corrigan have
put spies on Archbishop Ireland, O'Con-
nell, and Archbishop Riordan, of San
Francisco, and that certain papers have
been stolen from the San Francisco
Western Witness.
Archbishop Ireland was shown the
message last evening. After studying
it some little time, he remarked:

of Archbishop Corrigan put spies OH
myself and the ones mentioned here. l
know nothing about such rumor. That
is all have to say"
