THE FIRST DELEGATE
The Apostolic Delegation Permanently
Established.
MGR. SATOLLI IS CONFIRMED
AS the First Delegate-A Cable
gram, Making the Announce
ment Received Yesterday-The
Conditions Upon Which Father
McGlynn Was Re-es tabhshed
in the Church-Satolh Makes
Some Criticisms.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 14.-Arch-
bishop Satolh. permanent Apostolic Dele
gate in the United States, authorizes the
publication of the following statement IN
regard to the Pope's action in the case OF
DR. McGlynn.
"On the very day Of the reconciliation Of
DR.. McGlynn with the church, public no.
tice was given OF it, with the statement
that Mgr Satolh had absolved from CEN
sure and reconciled DR.. McGlynn by spe-
cial power for the purpose requested from
and granted bp the Holy Father; and,
moreover. that the absolution had been
given because Dr. McGlynn had willingly
accepted the conditions laid down by the
Holy Father as necessary and sufficient.
This information so expressed should
have sufiiced to satisfy every one with the
reconciliation carried out by authority, es-
peciallv delegated by the Holy Father, and
with the conditions called for by the Holy
Father. Then it is well to make several
rehections
First. that as soon as 1t was understood
that these conditions were complied with,
every sincere Catholic should at once have
felt himself bound TO conscience to recog-
niIe that all had been done in the case that
was expedient In accord with the
SPIRIT OF TIE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
'tSecond, that the selection Of the proper
time and the manner to give public infor-
nation Of the conditions belonged TO the
authority OF the Church, and when the
Holy Father should find it topportune, after
the reception ofthe documents which were
Immediately forwarded;
.sThira. everyone could see that the I'M
mediate publication OF these conditions was
for 'prudential reasons omitted, TO AVOID
talk that might oppose the good done oy
doing away with the calamity which had
so long weighed upon q priest by reconcll-
ing him with the mother church. II this re-
suit has nos been obtained, and If this wise
silence has been unacceptable to any one,
it must be ascribed simply to premature
exsction.
The conditions were in this form:
"Dr. McGlynn had presented orlef
statement OF his opinions on moral-econ-
omic matters, and it was judged not con-
trary TO the doctrine constantly taught oy
the Church, aud as recently confirmed by
the Holy Father in the encyclical Rerum
Nevarum. Also, IL is hereby publicly MADE
known that DR.. McGlynn, besides profess
ing his adherence to all the doctrines and
teachings of the Catholic Church, has ex-
pressed his regret Saying that he would
be the first to regret iD for any word or
act Of his that may have seemed lacking In
the respect due TO ecclesiastical authority;
and
he HEREBY INTENDS TO REPAIR,
as far as he can, any offence which may
have bsen given to Catholics.
"Fina,lv, DR.. McGlynn has OF his own
free will declared and promised that, with
in the limits of not long period OF time, he
will 20 to Rome in the spirit and intention
which are becoming TO good Catholic ana
a priest. Then il is well to note how de-
porable II is that this reconciliation should
have been discussed, as 1t has been, IN
newspapers in such manner that private
and lay persons have dared to pass upon IL
harsh reproach and i'll considered censure
"That any one should have dared 20
speak OF tho Pope's authority over the
church In America is foreign TO all sentl-
msnt. and an utterance enormously erren-
cons and scaudalous. The action OF the
church and of the Holy See, in the things
that belong TO il, is superior TO every man
made boundary; and is universal and
proper to every country in which tnere
may be Catholics, for which reason 1t seems
TO US exceedingly opportune 20 recommend
due respect in every case TO eccleslsstical
authority and, before oil, TO that OF the
HOLY See, as well as to that OF the Council
Of Baltimore, inasmuch as it is forbidden
To treat ecclesiastical matters and ques-
tions through the medium Of journalism.
"Much more deplorsole is 1t that persons
both ecclesiasticas and laymen (who wish
to appear as sincerely Catholic) make bad
use OF Journalism, with violent and menda-
cious attacks
BEYOND ALL BOUNDS OF RESPECT
and charity against venerable prelates,
whose virtue and charity and learning;
whose rectitude OF character and unques-
toned and unquestionaole love toward the
cAurch and the supreme pontif, never un-
accompanied by sincere love Of country,
make Them deservedly the objects OF tho
special predilection OF the Holy Fathers and
OF universal esteem and veneraton.n
Mer. Satoln, the parsl solegate, re-
ce,ved at the Catholic University to-day
the following cable message from DR..
O'Connel. the American secretary Of the
propaganda who accompanied Mgr. Sa'olli
