THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL.
1t Reaches New York in Safety, but

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 25.-Pope
Leos long-expected encyclical extending
the power and dignity of Mgr. Satolli
and defining the status of the American
church is now suspended between New
York and Washington by the formalities
of the customs laws. 1t is expected that
the customs formalities may be con-
cluded 50 as to bring the encyclical to
Washington today or tomorrow.
The chief interest in the encyelical lies
in the enlarged authorities it gives to the
American delegates. Until the document
is made public the precise nature of these
duties and power are only copjectural.
There is no doubt, however, that the
delegates functions are materially ex-
tended with view to giving him stand
ing duty commensurate with the extent
of the church in America. At the out
set Mgr. Satolli's mission was somewhat
tentative but it is believed the encyclical
final and supreme jurisdiction over dis
culinary questions.

n. PERIER:S SECRET.
Domestic, Not Political, Troubles Led
to the Resignation Of the Pres
ident Of France.

New York, Jan. 25.-The real causes
of the resignation of NJ. Casimir-P erier
from the presidency of France are just
beginning to be noised about, according
to q cable from Paris to the Herald. 1t
is understood that the cause is not at all
political, but purely private in character.
The eX-President is on the point of
seeking to obtain divorce from Nine.
Casimir-Perier, the causes for this being
of quite long standing. AS a matter of
fact, the first steps in the proceedings
had already been taken by M. Casimir
Perier's lawyers when he became Presi-
dent of the republic. At that time his
mother interviewed, and her supplications
induced him to take the high office to
which he was called in the hopes that
the Official and public life he and Nine.
CasimirPerier would be forced to lead
would put an end to their disagreements.
But their misunderstanding became
worse, and when NJ. Casimir-P erier found
that the joys Of political power did not
compensate him for his domestic annoy
ances, when his intimate friend, NJ. Bur
deau. died, and when his other friend,
I. Raynal, was bounded down BY the
amber of Deputies because of the rail-
~ conventions, in a fit of anger he

WAR NAY BE AYERTED.
President Diaz OF Mexico VIII Defer
Action Regarding Guatemala
Until Monday.

City of Mexico, Mex, Jan. 26-T'rcsi-
dent Diaz and Foreign Minister Marical
had long conference over the Guate-
malan matter. The reply of Guatemala
to the demand Of Mexico received yes-
terday at the national palace was read:
and considered in many of it's bearings.
Another conference viii probably be held
next Monday, at which the entire min
istry will doubtless be asked to be pres
ent.
With regard to the general situations
President Diaz said: Although it is
true that the government is sustaining q
serious and delicate controversy of q
diplomatic nature which, if not handled
with correct, logical and honorable
means, may conduce to q war, altEGugh5
1t is also true that we are not yet on the
verge of war, because honor. good faith
and logic constitute the programme Of
the government and because it has no
right to arbltrate any other course to its
adversary, the government believes, and
mas practically demonstrated that belief
Tor several years, that the greatest bless
ing we can offer to our country is the
present period of reconstruction and hap
Ply and visible Development of peace, and
declare that It will only allow it to be
interrupted when an unjust and pertina-
clous .aggressor insists upon infringing
upon its well-esta blished rights and as
sailing the national honor and decOrum.'
The land involved in the dispute be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala is covered
for the most part with dense forests of
precious woods. Mexican choppers from
the north and Guatemalan choppers,
from the south have FLASHED in the heart
Of the forest that fringes the banks of
the rivers Usumacinto and Lacantun and
their tributaries, and this has precipi-
tated the conflict. The controversy rests
on the question whether the Lacantun
Or one of the forks of the Usumacinto,
constitutes the boundary between the
mala. The old traditional boundary was
the Lacantun, but according to the
treaty Of 1882 the boundary was pushed
to the eastward. The Guatemalans do
not now accept the Usumacinto bound
airy, and companies, declining to acknowl-
edge the title of the little republic to the
territory, have recently invaded these re-
gions ON the left bank of the Lacantun.

The House on the Goth entered upon the
