MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 27.-The
Journal prints an interview with a high
dignitary of the Catholic church who is
close to Archbishop Ireland, indicating
that the papal utterance as to secret socie-
ties is by 10 means mandatory. He points
out that in the Cardinals letter the words
are used this decree Ia therefore COM
mended to the Archbishops and Bishops
of the United States. and nay be by these
ordinaries carried into effect"
A similar phrase is used in Satolli's let
ter. all of which, the dignitary maintained
shows that the decree Is really sort of
feeler intended to test the sentiment of
The church and not TO be carried out ex-
cept as each Bishop shall determine in his
own diocese. He points out that it is the
Archbishops who really rule the church in
America, and that unless they choose to
promulgate and effectuate the decree it
will be practically dead letter.

once More They viii Welcome in
the New Year.
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Trinity's chimes
Will once more welcome in the glad New
1ear. year ago, at the request OF prom
inent pew holders, DR.. Morgan Dix, rector
OF Trinity Church, announced that the bells
would not be rung as customary. He ex-
cused his action on the ground that the
nUlse Of the crowd surrounding the church
drowned the loudest notes of the chimes.
The widespread regret occasioned by this
announcement moved the rector to modify
his order. He signified a willingness to
have the chimes rung as usual, providing
Superintendent Byrnes would assure per-
feet quiet on the street below. This the
Superintendent declined to DO, on the
ground that it would be Impossible to keep
a throng of 10000 or more quiet, especially
when the same crowd was bent on raising
all the discord and noises possible for the
human mind TO conceive.
This year, however, the silvery-toned
bells will again extend New Year greet
Ing TO New Workers.
DR.. Dix has considerably modified his
request to the head of the Police Depart
ment. IF Superintendent Byrnes Will
assure me that he will do all in mis- power
to prevent noises IN the streets around the
hour of midnight" said DR.. Dix, 81 will
give orders to have the bells rung. The
programme l have in view will take an
hour to render, so that the opening notes
will be struck at about II 80 on Monday
night"
