Mgr. satoili Talks of the Churc /
| Trouble.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Mgr SatoIlI
confirms the belief that the pope is
resiously displeased at the manner in
which his Iegate to America has been
| treated by certain ecclesiastics Bishop
Keane, in whom Mgr Satolli reposes
| entire confidence, spoke authorita-
| lively.
q have no information whatever,
| said he, in regard to the alleged pro-
tests sent by the arch bishop Of New
| York, and do not know that the pope
| action was occasioned thereby, but
do know that the holy father con
! siders that his legate has not been
treated with proper respect, that he
| feels it keenly, and that he is fully de-
| determined to assert the authority Of
his representative.
DO you consider that this action is
a re Duke to Arch bishop Corrigan?" he
was asked.
"Not Of necessity, for the reason
that the charges, formulated princi-
paily by the press, have not been
proved. and because | am not as yet
thoroughly convinced that he has ever
/ flied protests.
1t IS, however a complete justifca-
ton of Arch bishop Ireland. The es-
tablishment of what has been aptty
termed d supreme court in America is
due to the fact that the holy father,
after considering the existing state of
affairs in the church, believed this to
be the opportunity for esta blishing his
delegation. The step mad been under
advlsenent for some time past
Transactions in regard to even the
minute details required one month for
settlement through the medium Of
, correspondence AS To the powers
conferred upon the new Iegate, any
bishop can still go directly to the holy
see for consideration of any point at
issue, but the proba biities are that all
matters pertaining to the church in
the United States viii hereafter be re-
ferred t. Mgr. Satoili."
Where will be the headquarters Of
the deIegation?''
'dgr. oatoIii will reside IN the
catholic university of this city for some
months 70 come and Washington Will
certainly be the seat Of his delega-
ton.
In regard to the letters stolen from
Rome, have you any infornati ton as To
now they were obtained?"
None whatever. This is remark
able fact, unique in the history of the
church. know positively that letters
were stolen and with the intention of
doing harm TO Archbishop ireland.
Future Investigation by the Holy See
VIII make plain by whom and at whose
inati9atiou the deed was done. 1t was
low thievery to take the letters; it is
biachInail to use them as they
nave endeavored. No, the author
Of the deed is not necessarily
IL authority, as servants could
have access to them. and bribery is
possible. Mgr. Sato!li received let
ter from the san Francisco party, Dre-
ing, in which a desire for the negotia-
ton for copies of these letters WAS eX-
pressed. He replied: II you have
the right spirit as man and a Catho-
tic send me the originals Dreing is
an obscure party, who is being used rs
tool. by whom cannot positively
state. The letters were written by
Arch bishop Ireland and his friends,
and contain nothing which would work
detriment to himself, SO we are not
cocerned in the recovery.
These people have undertaken bad
job, continued the bishop with IA de-
gree Of warmth, and have got hold Of
the wrong man when they endeavor to
discredit Arch Bishop Ireland with the
Holy See and the American people
The holy father knows his worth, es-
teens him for his wisdom and picty,
and viii not be influenced againht him y
