Mpr. SatOili,

Among those who were mentioned as
most likely to open their doors on the
occasion of proposed reception to
Mgr. Satolli in New York, was Colonel
George Bliss, the eminent lawyer and
convert to the Catholic faith. Colonel
Bliss conversion six or seven years ago
was brought about, it is said at that
time, through the influence Of Mrs.
Bliss. Since that time Colonel Bliss
has had more or less of an intimate
connection with the secular affairs of
the New York archdiocese.
/ saw Colonel Bliss yesterday at his
law office, and asked him whether 1t
was true, as rumored, tina the was to
give a social reception in his residence
to Mgr. Satolli subsequent to the fes-
tivities in Hoboken. The question was
like an electric shock to the Colonel. He
arose from his chair, walked up and
down the office, and said: =
Il know there has been an effort to
get up reception to Mgr. Satolli in
New York, but if there is oneto be held
I do not know of it. 1t certainly willnot
be held at my house. If there should
be a reception here in in his honor Lab
solutely shall not attend"
"What are your reasons?' ! asked.
"Well," said Mr.. Bliss, off should
attend it would be construed rs an ap-
prevail of Mgr. Satolli's course, and |
do not approve oft.
"Mgr. Satoli's course in this country
has been characterized by want of tact.
1t was q mistake for him to restore
Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn to the
priesthood. You have noticed, by the
way, that Rev. DIR. McGlynn is not
very prominent, even though he has
been restored.
"The criticism have to make is that Rev.
DR.. McGlynn was restored and permitted
to 90 about as Catholic priest without Law
ing made an apology as open as was his Of
fence.
II think" continued Colonel Bliss, that
Mgr. Satolli was very i'll advised in consent
ing TO be guest of that blstheskite Corri-
gan in Hnboken. Certainly if Mgr. Satolli is
irving to make peace in the Catholic Church
he should not come to the borders of New
York city at the request of q minority in the
diocese to receive the hospitality OF recent
contestant. There, again, is want of tact
II am not mistaken, and am absolutely
sure am not Mgr. SatOlli has seen deceived
in determining to restore to the priesthood a
man of the grosscst immortality, q priest in the
central part of New York State. In this mat
ter again he has shown want OF tact and the
result will be of great harm to the Catholic
Church in this country.
mgr. Satolli has made great mistake
since he came to this country in his comments
at the Catholic University ST Washington,
DC.
81 do not know, OF course, of my own
knogledge whether the professors in that
university have been reported correctly as to
the remarks Mgr. satolli is SAID TO have made.
81 hope they have not been, because the in
terviews sscribed 10 some OF them, including
Rev. DR.. O'Donovsl who accompanied Mgr,
Satolli to Hoboken, are greatly wanting IN
Christian charity, to say the very least."-N.

From Honolulu.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The
steamer Oceanic arrived from Honolulu
this morning, bringing the latest adj
vices from the Hawaiian Islands. The
most important event of the past few
days was the appointment Of Lorrln a.
Thurston as Minister to Washington,
to succeed ]. Mott Smith. Other items
of interest been have the passage OF
what is called the ''press gag law and
the law prohibiting the possession OF
firearms and ammunition. Minister
Stevens will leave Honolulu for the
United States May 2l He and Consul
Severance are still enthusiastic in favor
of annexation, and say that it is the
only logical solution of the political
problem. Claus Spreckels, the big SUI
gar man, expresses himself as against
annexation, fearing the labor question.
The Japanese cruiser Nantwa, Kan,
will sail to-day for japan. This would
indicate that Japan has given up all
hope of obtaining n foothold in Hawaii
The radical members of the annexa-
ton party are anxious to become rid OF
the ex-Queen, whom they regard as
menace to the present government.
The Hawaiian Star calls attention to the
danger of allowing Lilioukalani to re-
main on the islands, and suggests that
she be requested to travel in foreign
lands with her expenses paid by the
provisional government. The more
conservative members of the party,
however-and they appear to be
in the majority-say that as long as the
Queen conducts herself properly, she
should he allowed to remain, if not she
must 60. The deposed ruler is con-
stantly watched and the people in
power claim to know all her plans.
While all this discussion is going on
the Queen preserves dignified silence,
keeping herself to her residence.

A Bishops PALACE BURNED.-The
central part of the Episcopal Palace at
Bishops Court, near Douglas, Isle of
Man, the seat of the Anglican Bishop of
Sodor and Man, has been destroyed by
fire. Bishops Court is a handsome
structure and resort for visitors to the
island. The confagration broke out so
suddenly and spread so swiftly that the
servants narrowly escaped with their
lives. Three of the servants tied sheets
together and thus made a rope, by
which they descended in safety. An
other servant jumped from the upper
part of the palace and was severely in
iured. In addition to the serious loss
by damage to the palace building, books
and documents of priceless value were
consumed in the flames.

COMMUNICATED.
The GAZETTE would do the residents
of the northern section of the city
great favor by calling the attention of
the city officials to the number of intoxi-
Gated people who take charge of this
section of the city every Sunday. Not
only men are to be seen, but women
(ofa dusky shade} travelling back and
forth with buckets, pitchers, etc, filled
with beer are to be met at every turn.
The number OF places WHICH have their
doors open are surprising, and yet the
police never see any violation of law.
The police have one route for six days
of the week and o change for Sunday
the change, of course, is ofan advantage
to all concerned. The people who
conduct these places have nothing to
fear. If they are caught slight fiue is
imposed (which they can well afford to
pay), and the ball continues to roll on.
BY publishing this you will greatly
benefit the residents of this section, for
as things are at present we are put to
great deal of annoyance.

LOVES INGENUITY.-A couple, not
one hundred miles from Manchester,
carried on their courtship in rather q
novel manner. A young man had
fallen in love with the daughter of his
employer, but from certain ideas of
wealth match was opposed by the
father. The consequence was that the
young man was forbidden to visit his
employers house. The old gentleman
was in the habit of wearing cloak,
and the yong couple made him the in
nocent bearer of their correspondence.
The lady pinned letter inside the lin
ing of the old mans cloak every day,
and when the father went into his
counting house and threw of his cloak,
the lover took out the lady's epistle,
read it, and sent the reply back in the
same manner. Love and ingenuity
were finally successful.

Hill Alter Cleveland.

A dispatch from New York says /:
Senator Hill never loses an opportuni-
ty to show that President Cleveland is
a practical politician, and when the
Senate investigating committee met
yesterday in the Hotel Normandie the
Senator got some fun out of DR.. Senner'
the Commissioner of immigration at
that port. Senator Hill was very any
ious to know who recommended the
doctor, and, even in the face of Senator
Faulkner's opposition, finally found
out. The Senators present were Hill,
chairman, Chandler, Faulkner, Dubois,
Squires, ard Proctor. Chairman Hill
was interlocutor. As soon as DR.. Sen
ner, took the stand the fun began.
"Who recommended you for the APP
pointment 2"
81 do not know; the appointment
was a surprise to me-"
Senator Faulkner exploded: "Where
will all this end? 1t does not seem to
be pertinent, but decidedly imperti-
nent. What has all this got to do with
the immigration question ?"
Senator Chandler beamed and got
up: II think the question decidedly
pertinent. AT least 80 per cent. of the
people are interested in the history
of the man who has control of this
port"
Chairman Hill think that every
thing relating to the doctors appoint
ment is admissible. Now, Doctor, did
you apply for the office?
~ applied for an office, not particu-
larly for the present oue."
$40 whom did you apply 2"
'To President Cleveland.
"Did you have a petition 2"
mo"
"Then tell who recommended you?"
Il was recommended by n friend"
"His name?"
''This friend wrote letter."
Senator Faulkner-Again confess
do not see the use of this. 1t simply
consumes time.
Senator Chandler facetiously remark,
ed that Senator Faulkner had been a
Judge, and desired the rigid rules OF
evidence. This was not court. But
Grand Inquisitor Hill blandly smiled
and showed out the prodding stick.
"Who finally appointed you"
'Mr. Carlisle"
"Did you see him before you were
appointed 2"
mo met him first when went to
Washington to thank him for the APP
pointment. l want to make this state
ment: Mr.. Carlisle told me that he ap'
pointed me because / was absolutely
free from any commercial or political
entanglements."
Senator Hill said "What, no politi.
cal entanglements, and living in New
York !"
Again Senator Faulkner protested
but in vain. The chairman asked
"What do you mean by political en-
tanglements? 2"
"Why, he knew that was neither an
anti-snapper or snapper"

is only natural that a democratic Presl-

BIG FIRE IN BALTIMoRE.-A disas-
trous fire broke out in the harness and
trunk factory of o. F. Day. Son & Co.,
at 80 west Baltimore street, Baltimore,
at Lao o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
before the flames were subdued the en-
tire five-story building, which belonged
to the Johns Hopkins University, had
been Quilted, and nothing remained but
the blackened and smoking ruins.
The adjoining buildings, Nos. 80 and
81 west Baltimore street, occupied re-
spectively by McCadden & McElwee,
manufacturers of fine picture frames,
and Cushing & Co., book and station
cry dealers, together with their con-
tents, were more or less damaged by
fire, smoke and water. 1t is estimated
that the combined less will aggregate
more than 100000. The fire was one
of the fercest that has ragged in that
city for some time. AT one time it
looked as if the entire block would be-
come prey to the fury of the flames.
Nothing but the herculean efforts of
the fireman prevented such disaster.
The fire spread with great rapidity. 1t

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY II, 1898.

WHEN THE Car of Russia issued
proclamation driving some hundreds OF
foreign settlers of a religious faith diff
ferent from that of the natives out OF
his dominions, he was denounced in this
country as monster Of cruelty and IN
iouity, and resolutions on the subject
received congressional action. But
when a law is passed by the U. S. Con
sress driving out of this country one
hundred and ten thousand harmless and
industrious Chinese, who have made
their homes here, and who only ask
the poor privilege of being allowed to
work, the same people who denounced
the Car and approved congressional
interference, applaud it and say it Is
only right and proper. Another patent
case of the mote and the beam.
