Til the tact became public. These pro-
tests We're the outcome of Archbishop
oorrlgans bitter wrath at the whole
course of the papai delegate. Bis
mop Mcdonnell. of Brooklyn, shared Arch
olsnop Corrigan's views and was mistaken
enough to write to Roman friend that
Mgr. Satolli was an Italian intruder who
would be driven back TO Europe.
Ihe collapse OF the Corrigan party is COM
piete, and one result may be the elevation
OF Archbishop Ireland to the cardinalate.
Another, perhaps. will be the resignation
OF Archbishop Corrigan or the appoint
nient OF coadjuter bishop for New York.
The foes OF Mgr. Satolli have been utterly
unscrupulous. 1t has been ascertained
that for months Archbishops Ireland and
klordan. Bishop Keane and Mgr. O'Con-
nell had been dogged by spies and their let
teFs stolen. A large number are now in the
bands OF man named Drein, of San
Francisco. who published them in the
Western Witness. the re;uIt was that
Archbishop Riordan was notified, and he
ADVISED him to recover the documents of
which wrong use might be made.
Dreln himself wrote 10 Archbishop
klordan to say that he held the
papers and was willing to give them up on
certain terms. The archbishop refused to
negotiate with him and applied to the San
francisco police, but was informed that
they could not recover the papers unless
he placed money value on them and
would go to court, where the contents
would be made public
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 14.-Satolli has
received cablegram from Monsignor
OConnell, secretary of the propaganda,
formally notifying him of his appoint
ment as first permanent delegate apostolic
TO this country.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 14.-When asked by an
Associated Press representative about the
institution of an apostolic delegation in
the United States this afternoon, Arch
bishop Ireland said:
Yes. permanent apostolic delegation has
been established in the United States, and Mon
signor satolli nas been named the irst apostolic
delegate. | am heartily glad that the contro-
verSies asl'ating Tor some time American
Catholics are over and peace will reign. For
Catholics Rome is the supreme tribunal, but il
is rather far away. hand near by is needed
that Will reach out and bid the sea be placid.
II some men we're seeking in the most ef.ctual
way to make evident 10 all eyes the necessity of
delegate in America, they could not have
adopted as proof of their thesis more effective
arguments than the methods they have been
pursuing. The Catholic church in America is
now thoroughly organized. She has in her ter
ritory supreme court, q branch of the appel
late court of Rome, deriving from the latter its
life, but capable in itself of Immediate action.
In addition to our own energies and inspirations
we shall have in all our undertakings the
direction and impetus, 80 directly as never be-
fore, of the sovereign head of the church.
Catholics will have a more practical realization
of what church unity and papal supremacy
mean. The papacy will appear to all of u in
its true light, harmonizing magniicently with
the aspirations of modern democracy and &C
celebrating the march OF all that is useful, good
and elevating in modern progress. The clouds
OF old fogyism said to be around the throne of
Peter exist only in befogged prejudice Or the
darkened recesses OF narrow and bl.ndfolded
minds They exist not in the Vatican.
ROME, Jan. 1.-THE appointment of
Satolll as permanent apostolic delegate the
vatican consideres sufficient reply to the
opposition to Satoli and his mission. The
propaganda will send Rev. r. z. Rocker
documents authenticating the new powers
conferred on Satolli IS permanent dele

encyclica to the American episcopate adj
