STRONGER THAN EVER.
Mgr Satolii Has Received Adj
ditional Power From the
Head of the Church.
Archbishop Ireland Denounces an
Alleged EncyclicaI Letter
as Forgery.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The interest
ing fact is ascertained from unquestlon-
able sources of information that the
European mail delivered at the Catho-
lie university today brought to
Mgr. Satolli, the papal ALLOCATE, in
structIons broadening and widening his
powers and imposing upon him new
duties and responsibility which must
necessarily occasion his attention to the
exclusion of all but the most urgent
business for some time to come. In
view Of these facts reporter who had
been sent out to the university to call
attention TO the cable dispatch from
Rome quoting statements of a Neapoll-
tan newspaper as 10 Mgr. SatollIS
alleged recall, scarcely deemed it neceS-
Sary to present his inquiry, but did so,
and was informed that there was not a
particle of truth i'll amy of the Naples
newspapers statement.
One other additional fact of interest
was learned, which was the circulation
among priests in New York, Brooklyn
and New Jersey of protest against the
efforts being made by q Catholic news
paper to antagonize the legate's mission
had been brought to Mgr. Satolli's at
tention, and that lie had said, while he
recognized the sincerity and devotion
that inspired this mOvement.he thought
it better it should 90 no further. No
one, he said, could doubt the loyal adj
heSion of the American clergy to the
holy see through its authorized repre-
sentative, nor would any one take the
utterances of the newspaper in ques-
ton as til e expression of the American
clergy.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-ArchbiShop Ire
land, of St. Paul. in an interview this
afternoon declared emphatically that
the alleged encyclical letter going the
rounds of the country purportlng to De
from Pope Leo XIII. is spurious and
false in every particular. The dOcu-
ment represents the pope as calling
upon the priests and laymen of the
United States to use their political in
fuence as citizens of America in secur-
ing for the pope complete control over
Temperatures in this country. The arch
bishop was seen this evening in his
room in the Grand Pacific hotel and
repeated that the letter was forgery.
I'm fact" he said, with a laugh, ''it
is so much Of one that L have no bust
ness to honor it by taking any notice of
it. [ have been interviewed so much
of late that DON'T want to say anything

w. ]. Onahan, of Chicago. with whom
the archbishop was i'll conference upon
matters relative to the Catholic con-
gress during the worlds fair. said:
1.-THE circular states that the meeting
of the congress is to be the signal for
seizure of the government by the
Catholics. More utter nonsense and
more complete falsehood than that it is
impossible to imagine. am secretary
of the congress, and L never heard OF
ANYTHING of the kind"
"Neither did anybody else," put in
the archbishop.
"Wbere did it come from?" asked the
reporter.
s'From some anti-Catholic society, L
presume" said Mr.. Onahan.
Il guess that is patent" said the
archbishop.
lit was probably circulated for polit-
ical effect during the last ca mpaign,"
said Mr.. Onahan, land has been going
on its travels ever since. 1t is sense
less fabrication, and no thinking man
will believe for an instant that it is
fathered by the Roman Catholic
church."
Had not thing to do with it. never
heard of 1t at all until it was pub
lisned," repeated the archbishop, and
he again declared that it was not worth
the time he had best owed upon it. and
he was too busy TO waste another mill
ute upon it.
