 NEW YORK, Sept. 25.--A morning paper prints the following Washington special:
 Archbishop Satolli, who returned last week from the west, will be occupied for several weeks to come in digesting the in formation gathered while away and in preparing his report to Rome. His com munications with Rome are frequent but the report he is now to send will be one of unusual interest and importance. It will deal not only with the results of the Cath ollie congress at Chicago, but with the gen sral impressions received by him during his trip.
 He was very greatly impressed with what he saw and heard, but he does not care to make public at this time more than that simple fact. He is so much beloved by his own people here, however, that their views are likely to rcflest. his own, and it is be cause of this that one observations made by prominent Catholic laymRn may be accepted being of more than ordinary consequence.
 Archbishop Satolli,' ,' he said. ''bcCumcs more and more impressed all the time with the United States and her institutions He is enthusiastic indeed about our great are na for the battle of human progress, and he wants to see, and expects to see, Cathol- icism having leading part in all the work. It is everything, even for sn great man the apostolic delegate, to gather his information at first hand-to see for himself, as the phrase is.
 Leo Looking to America.
 This Archbishop Satolli is doing as rapidly as pos ssible. The result of all this of course is to advance the church in America in the eyes of the supreme pontifr and to insure it consideration at Rome that it has never enjoyed before As mat ter of fact, Leo is looking to America fpr that distinct triumph of his policy which is to insure him the title he so much covets that of The Pope of the People. His work in France is great, but his work in the United States is even greater. This k the larger field. Here the people have been born to the estate of freedom and to that of self government, and Leo wants Catholicism to go hand in hand with popu- lar suffrage"
 The effect of his mission upon the larger questions has been highly beneficial. There has been some friction here and there, growing more out of personalities than out of principles. This is rapidly disappearing, and there is practically complete obedience throughout the United States to the au- thority of the pope's representative. Arch bishop Satolli has delivered but one gen cTsll lltSSiXe 10 2AD1eTlCiln | atlOllGS, ana that is to support the institutions of their country. He wants stress laid upon the fact that in the eyes of Rome he is the best American Catholic who is the most loyal to the principles of free government and who makes that loyalty apparent by obedience to the laws and tu the authority of those elected to execute them.
 An Inspiring Spectacle.
 We have the inspiring spectacle indeed of a man born under monarchical institu- tions able at once to grasp the true mean ing of democracy aud the principles of its successful application and urging upon all who look to hiI> for instruction the most faithful support of the home govern ment. There has been an impression abroad that the apostolic delegate has re buked certain members of the Catholic clergy because of their attitude on the school question. That is not true The most extreme interpretation to be put upon his action is that he thought they were losing sight of their larger opportunities The public school is an American institu- tion, and opposition to it is not only futile but unwise."
 'ls there anything in the action taken toward Archbishop Kenrck of St. Louis except proper provision for a failing vet Cran of the church."
 Nothing whatever Archbishop Ken rlCh hdS ndu hh llluStrlouS career, put he Is S1 years old-in the shadow of extreme old age-and is no longer able to administer the affairs of his office
 Tt cannot be true, then, as suggested in certain quarters, that his former opposition to the doctrine of papal infallibility had anything to do with his deposition:"
 Nothing could be more absurd or un, warranted than that. It was during the pOntitCate Of Plus lN that Archbishop kenriCk delivered his argument against the doctrine of papal infallibility. Then would have been the time for punishment. had punishment been thought of '
