SlTOLLI NOT TO RETURN
Certainty That He Will Stay in
Rome After January Next.
ANOTHER WILL BE DELEGATE
His Successor VIII PrOba bly, Be One
OF the Monsignore, But Not Of the
Higher Orders-No More Clash of
Precedence Between the American
Primate and the Delegate.


certainty that when Mgr. Satoll. Arch
bishop of Lepanto, sails from America
about the new year 1t Will b. to take up
permanent residence in Rome. On January
10, 1896, be is to be present ut the
Vatican to take part in the ceremonies OF
the golden jubilee OF Pope Leo's cons 'cra
ton as an archbishop. He Will also MAKE
his report to the Propaganda and the
Holy Father of the results of his MISSION
in this country; and at the consistory OF
cardinals, to assemble ON that date, his
elevation to their rank will be announced ex
cathedra, or by the Pope sitting in nls
highest official capacity"
This is a statement Of a gentleman inti-
mately informed Of church movements. Mgr
Satoli himself is necessarily rcucent on tne
subject, but this news can be acctptsd as
absolute. The same authority, continuing
says:
',Mgr Satolli returns TO Rome not only
to receive the rev ara of his gigantic laDvrs
but also that his presence is earnestly Ge
the important church policies ROW uhuer
consideration.
HOS HIGH OPINION.
"Hc is regarded by Pope Leo as one OF
the greatest minds at his command, and
W lille the apostolic delegate at Washing
ton " i'll not be abandoned, never again
Ill IL be lilied by nan oI lLs ability or
rank His suco essor Will rot te an arth-
bshop. He viii probably be one oI the
monsignore, but not Gclected from the
higher orders. There are manifold rea
Sons for this, the principal tc,ng 10 avoid
even a seeming clash of lTtJecence be-
tw cen the delegate and thc American
prinlate.
The great work Mgr Satoli has done
for he american cnurCn " III be mere ana
more highly appreciated as tine goes on,
and especially so " hen he is permanently
locatco at Rome To acvise ana assist by hls
personal experience the authorilies IN
their Conclusions, and III nothing " III ihis

OF eoolesiastic policy ON the relations OF
capital and labor.
.sIgr. SatoiH arrived in this country
in January, 1892. At the date OF his de
partIre January, 1896, he VIII have llied
his difficult mission Just -four years. some
clear idea OF his GIp!Omacy ara abIlty
may he conceived when a contrast al these
dates is made. lis advent WAS the oeca-
sion OF the widest ulIas Inings as 80 ire
papal purpose. To-dsy he Is So Intimate

news OF his going VIII DE- as Profound Il sen
SatiOn as his arrival With infinite tact
he filled his place, and by strictly rflhtinS
his own business has slipped iBsensiily into

among Us.
AS TO HIS SUCCESSOR.
A This distance from Rome an specula-
ton as TO his successor would be purely
inaingary. The only CertaiDtiGS are that
he will h. q man, possibly Of equal ability.
but certainly OF inferior rank to the pres
given.
An interesting coincidence with his
departure is the expected arrival OF Mgr
AVerdrui as delegate apostolic 10 MeAlCo.

request of President Biaz, and the soticiia-
tion WAS based on the eminent SUCCESS u1

nuncio to Mexico was not grounded on
fact. There is no bishop in Mexico of the
