RECEPTION AT THE VATICAN.
Was Largely Attended by Catholic
Dignitaries.

ROME, Dec. 23.-The reception at the
Vatican to-day was largely attended
by Catholic dignitaries.
Replying to the greetings, the Pope
deplored the conflict between the State
and Holy See, which impartial minds
desired to end. The majority of Ital-
ians, his holiness continued, were
against it, and it was wrong to fight
the will Of the people who understood
that political unity did not suffice to
give them prosperity
Therefore, he desired the independ-
ence of the papacy and the restoration
of its rights. Peaceful citizens should
not be confounded with the subversive
factions, whose aim was to set the
cause of Italy and the rights of the
papacy in conflict. 1t has never been
unworthy, and the State should make
just reparation.
The Pope, who was in excellent health
and splendid voice, blessed all present,
including twenty-three Cardinals Af-
terward every guest passed the throne
of the Pope, and his holiness said a few
words to each Of them.

Withstanding the seizures, which gave
rise to the award were initiated under

Mckinley, he thought, would doubt
less recommend to Congress to provide
for the payment, and he hoped and
felt sure that Congress would make
the necessary appropriation to dis
charge the treaty obligations, and as
the Canadians receive interest up to
date on their deferred claims, the re-
suit should be accepted on both sides
