AN APPEAL TO SATOLLI.
The Pope's Representative to Settle
an Important Controversy.
a FIGHT AGAINST OAHENsLEYIsM.

Bishop wigger, of the Newark Diocese,
a Church Against English Speaking
Catholics.
BAYoNSE, n. J., Jan. 2s.-The Catholic
clergy and laity of the Newark diocese are
Hurried over the citation of the bishop,
Right Rev. Father Wigger, before the
tribunal of Archbishop Satolli at Wash
ington, to answer the charges of Cahen-
slyism preferred against him by the parish-
toner's of the closed up church OF st,
Thomas in Bayonne
Bishop Wigger il is understood, has al
ready received the summons, and the trial
Will follow within very short time The
charge brought against Bishop Wigger so
soon after the abrupt termination of the
trial OF Rev. Father Corrigan, of Hoboken,
by the latters apology, lends Significance
To the words with which the apology of
Father Corrgan to Bishop Wigger con-
cluded: "As regards the future, you need
not have any apprehension that have any
intention of attacking yourself or your
government in the papers,
The reason the Pensioners of Bayonne
have come forward as complanants
against Bishop Wgger, is because, as they
allege, he closed up their church and
compelled them to attend st. Henry's,
which is presided over by German pastor
What made this action of Bishop Wigger
more CALLING they say, was that the Eng
lish speaking parishioners of st. Thomas
were numerically as ten to one compared
with the Germans of St Henry's church.
Father Thomas NJ. killen, pastor of st
Marys church, brings the charges against
Bishop Wigger, who he declares has acted
pntirplV hiS ,,,itk
the consent of the council in Baltimore,
and contrary to his instructions. Father
kilen said.
THE whole trouble arose in January,
1892, when Bishop Wigger completely
abolished the little church of st. Thomas,
i'll Bayonne, which | had built after much
labor to facilitate the means of worship of
my paiishioners.
Bishop Wigger took the keys of the
church away from me under protest, and
compelled about 600 of my English speak
ing congregation to attend St Henrys
church, over which the bishop had placed
German priest.
I'VE do not believe this assumption of
authority by the bishop justfable, and
accordingly have, at the request of all
of my congregation, brought the matter
to Mgr Satolli's attention, through DIR.
Burtsell, who will press the charges
against Bishop Wigger,
Mgr Satolli is the direct representative
of the pope i'll this country, and was pur-
posely sent here to hear and decide Just
such cases rs this, and it is with infinite
satisfaction that all American priests rec
ogniZe that they have Il representative here
at last, instead of having to go TO Rome
Satoill S decision in any case of the kind is
maj, and does not admit of appeal"

IN view OF subsequent events, to resign his
Office as secretary of state in the early
summer, retire to his Maine home and
spend his remaining days in quiet literary
work. Long argument failed to shake his
determination at that time, and his subse-
quent action in allowing his name to come
before the convention was ascribed by his
friends who knew him best as an evidence
that his indomitable will had fallen before
the insiduous iuroads of the fatal disease
which was then gnawing at his yitals.
The following is the substance of the
oflicial statement of the attending physi-
clans rs to the cause of death.
"rhe beginning of Mr.. Blaine's disease
dates back some years. He evidently had
a gouty tendency, developing atharoma of
the blood vessels in the brain, which caused
the attacks Of paralysis in 1887 As time
went on changes became apparent in tho
structure OF the kidneys, which developed
lnterStitical nephretis tthe gravest form of
Bfight's disease). As is usual in kidney
troubles, the progressive nature of the dis
ease had the effect of causing more work
to be thrown upon the heart, owing to the
hardening of the blood vessels, and this
organ began to show signs of weakness.
1t was for this reason that such powerful
remedies had to he resortcd to for the pur-
pose of restoring the Tagging energies
OF this organ. Degeneration of other or
gans now became apparent and the lungs
hecamea weakened, thereby giving ingress
to the tuberclr .bacili, and finally, toward
the end of December, 1892 the system
broke down underline complications andit
was with difficulty he rallied from success
sive attacks until yesterday, when the fatal
attack OF heart exhaustion came"
This statement of the ply ysicians will not
be supplemented. by an autopsy upon the
body of Mr.. Blaine. the members OF the
family being thoroughly satisfied as TO the
cause OF death Tht body will not be EN-
balmed for burial, the family objeeting to
any disturbance OF it.

leader among Birmingham anarchists,
smashed IA jewelers. window in New

handfuls of watches and rings. When n
policeman started to arrest him Davis

recovered by the jewelers. clerks. Davis
acknowledged that he took the iewelry,
but protested against the imputation of

Blaine had resigned because he aud John
w. Foster got into a controversy in the
presence of the Canadians and MIR Foster
informed them that Mr.. Blaine WAS mis-
representing the policy of the United

That is absolutely false. Mr.. Blaine him
self at the meeting of the commissioners
informed them that it was useless for
them to talk about the matterany further
that they had simply got to surrender
their claims and to treat American vcs-
sells just the same aS they treated Can

they walked home arm in arm. They were
theu and have been ever since good friends.
When AIR. Blaine reached home hr found
some one had marked lot of interviews
which had been tcegraphed from Mime
apo!is and printed in several papers. They
accused Mr.. Blaine with betraying the
president, and with using his place in the
cabinet nS cover for aconspiracy to defeat
the president and secure the nomination.
The interviews wound mp by declaring
that il Mr.. Blaine wasau honorable man he
would have resigned from the cabinet
"tnder the hfat of indignation over

resignation, and he has since told his
friends that there were never but two oc-
casions of difference between himself and

fully explained and satisfactorily settled"
