SATOLLI'S POWERS.
An EncyclicaI Which Gives Him AImos
Plenary uthority.

An ENJOY clical Which Gives Him Almost
PIenary \ uthOrity.
ROME. Jan. 5.-The expected ency.
clical from Pope Leo, addressed to
the archbishops of the United States,
is now ready and will be transmitted
through the usual channels IN a few
days. 1t treats principally with the
authority and powers of the apostolic
delegate, Mgr. Satolli, who is con.
firmed and strengt hened in his posi-
ton. The letter is certain to cause
profound sensation in ecclesiastical
circles in the United States.
In the encYclical Pope Leo confirms
the friendly disposition previously
manifested toward a republican form
of government, demon strating anew
that the church is free to accept and
show sympathy with popular institu
lions not inherently hostile to Chris
tian principles. In detail the en-
cyclical enlarges to the fullest extent
the power and jurisdiction of the
apostolic delegate, thus comforting on
Mgr. Sato1li almost plenary authority.
All matters of local and internal con-
troversy affecting the church in the
United States shall no longer be
under the jurisdiction of the courts
of the propaganda, but will be heard
and disposed of in the Delegates tri-
bunal, which becomes, in fact, an
American ecclesiastical court. This
is a further and most important
recognition of home rule in the
church, and will go far to do away
with the jealousy of Rome and Roman
influence which has hitherto prevailed
in certain quarters within and with
out the church.
The encyclical, in language and
spirit, breathes an ardent affection
for the people and institutions of the
United States.

reaches here from Kingfsher, Ok, of
a wholesale hanging of thieves in the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country.
The settlers there have ever since
the opening been the victims of ma
rauding bands of horse and cattle
thieves, and finding the authorities
too slow in bringing the offenders to
justice, several vigilance committees
were organized in different
parts of the country to take
the law in their own hands.
The vigilants a few days ago started
on the trail of one band, followed it
into the Panhandle of Texas, back
into the Cheyenne country, overtak-
ing it near Cantonment. Here a bat
tie followed, resulting in the wound
ing of George GasleIl and Simeon
Campbell, two of the vigilants, and
the capture of three of the thieves.
The latter were hanged without de-
lay. Their bodies were shot to
pieces and left hanging as a warning

The Rev. DR.. w. w. Boyd of the In
dependents Baptist church of st. Louis
recently attracted considerable attention
by denouncing the University of Chi
cago because it accepted an endowment
from John D. Rockefeller of the Stand
ard Oil company. DR.. Boyd's remarks
were made at the regular weekly meet
ing of the Ministerial alliance and were
not intended for publication, it is said.
In denouncing the Chicago university
he said that its foundation was built in
blood, that the Lord would not prosper
it and that Rockefeller's So, 600, 600 en-
dowment was not given by the oil king
himself, but by the tributaries of the
Standard OIL trust. As Mr.. Rockefeller
is the wealthiest Baptist living, and as
he has given many millions to churches

Talking on Currency.

WASHINGTON, Jan 5.-The general
debate on the currency bill, which
consumed the time of the house yes
terday, will continue until the caucus
is held. Then, if the present plans of
the advocates of the bill are indorsed,
the debate will go on under the Eve
minute rule until Thursday of next
week, when the final vote will be
taken. The feature of the days de-
bate was the speech made in opposi-
ton to the measure by Representa-
tive Hendrix, a New York banker.
He declared the bill would be made
quate as measure of relief for the
treasury and besides would provide an
unsound currency. He suggested for
the only measure of relief the pass
age of a bill to fund the greenbacks.
The other speakers were Messrs. Hep
burn of Iowa. Dingley of Maine and
Gresham of Texas.
