AZ do not believe" continued the
Mogsignor, "that Mgr. Satolli's influ-
ence Is on the ware. On the contrary,
IL is becoming daily more and more n po-
tent factor In the church OF the United
States. II II were not so, why this op-
position from certain quarters? Ii Is
because they fear his power that they
oppose him. He is not . man to be

"But the Western Wdtchmdn," said.
"a Catholic paper OF ST. Louis, stated
last week that at meeting OF the trus-
tees of the Catholic University at Wash
ington, one OF the prelates omitted to
pay his respects TO Mgr. Satolli, and 10
thinks that an evidence OF strained re-
lations between the bishops and the
Apostolic Delegate. Are not the rela-
tions between the Pspal Delegate and
the Archbishop Of New York verv
strained?"
"For an answer to that" was the
Monsignor's reply, 81 must refer you TO

CHARGES AGAINST A DISTINGUISHED
ARCHBISHOP.
ut is generally understood. Mgr.
Ducey, that there are now pending st
Rome two sets OF most serions charges
against one Of the most distinguished
archbishops OF this country, but they
have been forwarded in an authentic
and judibial way, and many persons
think they will be decided 10 the seri-
Gus clouding OF this gentleman's influ-
ence. Do you know anything OF this
matterW
II shall give you no information In
matters OF this nature"
"a story, Monsignor," said, has
been circulated for some time that
these charges have been pigeon-holed
In the Propaganda by Cardinal Leod-
chowski. People who are we'll In
formed say that this story Is circulated
for effect, for it is well known In Rome,
that these charges were forwarded d.
rect to the Vatican. to Cardinal Ram
poia and the Holy Father, to avoid
any possibility OF their general circu-
lation, as did the memorial OF Bishop
Ireland. Do you know anything about
this matter?"
II must say to you again." replied

what, In your opinion and judg-
ment," asked, "are the. characteristics
OF Mgr. Satolli and his fitness for his
mission?"
THAT Is a question can answer with
decency," said Mgr. Ducey. "All who
know Mgr. Satolli intimately speak OF
him as broad minded, honest, honor
able gentleman. They tell me he Is
most simple in all his ways, and more
democratic and approachable than
many OF our American prelates. He
assumes no Importance In any OF his re-
lations with priests and others around
him. Indeed, they say he Is more DEM
ocratic than some Of our American
statesmen, and as easy to approach as
the humblest and simplest or priests.
He is most straightforward in all bis
dealings and intercourse with his fell
lows, and is q stranger to ways and
methods that have any suggestion OF
Macchlavellian intrigue.
"Of his fitness for his mission / can
not have any doubt, for II the Holy
Father and Mr.. Gladstone are accepted
as the men best known In public life
for selecting honest instruments to car
ry out honest policies, then | must be-
lieve that Mgr. Satolli was the best in-
strument In the Holy Fathers power TO
lay the foundations tor an honest and
honorable American delegation.
Archbishop Satolli has been known
TO the Holy Father as boy. when the
present Pope was the Archbishop OF
Perugia. The Pope has seen him grow
and develop from boyhood to maturing
years, and he must know the head and
heart of the man representing him In
the American church. Hence con-
clude that he has all the qualities that
fit him az the best selection for the mis-
aim committed 10 HIS care"
