" ascertained. For we think that there are
many in your country who are separated
from Catholic truth more by ignorance than
by nl-will, who might ~perchaDce more easily
be drawn to the one fold of Christ if this
truth be set forth to them in a friendly and
familiar way.
From the foregoing it is manifest, be-
loved son, that we are not able to give APP
proyal to those views which, in their col
lecttve sense, are called by some 'Ameri-
canism.' But if by this name are to be
understood certain endowments of mind
which belong to the American people, just
as other characteristics belong to various
other nations, and If, moreover, by it is
designated your political condition and the
laws and customs by which you are gov
erned, there is no reason to take exception
to the name. But if this is to be so under
stood that the doctrines which have been
adverted to above are not only indicated.
but exalted. there can be no manner OF
doubt that our venerable brethren, the
bishops Of America, would be the first to
repudiate and condemn it as being most in
furious to themselves and to their country.
For it would give rise to the suspicion that
there are among you some who conceive
and would have the church in America to be
different from what il is in the rest of the
world. But the true church is one, as by
unity of doctrine, so by unity of govern
ment, and she is Catholic also. Since God
has placed the center and foundation OF
unity in the chair of blessed Peter she is
rightly called the Roman Church, for
Where Peter is, there is the church.
Wherefore, if anybody wishes to be con-
sidered a real Catholic, he ought to be able
to say from his heart the self-same words
which Jerome addressed to Pope Damascus:
I, acknowledging no other leader than
Christ, am bound in fellowship with yout
Holiness: that is. with the chair of Peter.
I know that the church was built upon him
as its rock, and that whatsoever gathereth
not with you scattereth.'
I'VE have thought it fitting. beloved son,
in view of your high office. that this letter
should be addressed specially toMgou. 1t will
also be our care to see that copies are sent
to the bishops of the United States. testify
ing again that love by which we embrace
your whole country, a country which in past
times has done so much for the cause of
religion, and which will by the divine as

SULTAN OF OMAN COWED
HOW BRITAIN BROUGHT AN OBSTI-
NATE MONARCH TO HIS KNEES.
Muscal Threatened with lombard
ment if Grant of a COaIing Station
to France Was Not AnnulIed.

BOMBAY, Feb. ~23.-Important details re-
garding the action of the British author
tiles at Muscat, the capitol of the sultanate
of Oman. have just become public. 1t APP
pears that the news of the lease by the
Sultan Of Oman of a coaling station 20
France on the coast Of Oman leaked out
while the British political agent at Muscat,
Major Eagan, was absent. He promptly re-
turned to his post, but the Sultan refused to
furnish him with any information. The COM
mander of the gunboat Sphinx %thereupon
dispatched a lieutenant and armed party to
the scene. But the Sultan, hoping to re-
ceive aid from the French. continued to be
recalcitrant. The arrival Of the second
class cruiser Eclipse, flagship Of the East
Indies station, with Rear Admiral Drum
mond on board, threw the Sultan's subjects
into a panic, though the Sultan himself still
remained obdurate. During the morning of
Feb. 16 Admiral Drummond sent word
ashore that unless the Sultan attended a
durbar on board the Eclipse at 2 o'clock
that afternoon he would lombard the forts
at 2:20 p. m.
Notice of the admiraps intention was sent
to the foreign consuls, and the town. was
speedily in confusion. TIL advisers of the
Sultan entreated him to submit and the
Eclipse took a position broadside to the
town, while the other British ships cleared
for action. The Sultan thereupon posted a
notification at the custom house and on the
gates Of the town that the agreement with
the French was Cancelled. A noon the Sultan
sent his brother on board the Eclipse, but
the British admiral refused to receive MIN
as a substitute. Just before 2 o'clock the
Sultan Of Oman, almost unattended, arrived
on board the flagship and remained there for
two hours, while the whole population lined
the beach and anxiously awaited the out
come. The Sultan. it appears, completely
acquiesced in the British demands and hand
ed over to Admiral Drummond the treaty
with France. On the following day the adj
miral went to the palace. where a great
durbar was held and the Sultan publicly re-
pudiated his agreement with France.

Brignnds KILLED by Cubans.

NEW YORK, Feb. pa dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: -"Brigandage is
reported from Matanzas province, but it met
with heroic treatment. A party of seven
bandits. alleged to be former Spanish guer-
rillas, led by a negro guide named Vidal,
began the depredations. A squad of Cuban
soldiers under Major Arguelles pursued and
overlook the band near the hamlet of Carta-
gena, where two of the bandits were killed
and two wounded. The Cubans lost one
killed and one wounded. The pursuit was
continued. The American military authori-
ties are watching these cases with some
anxiety, but incidents like that at Matanzas
Cuban officials are urging that it be done
quickly, as they are positive that with a
part of their troops thus disposed of the

REFORM FOR LONDON.
Bill That Proposes to Divide the City
INTO Fifteen Municipalities.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-In the House Of Com
mons to-day Mr.. Arthur j. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury and government leader
in the House, introduced the London munic-
qualities bill, the principal measure of the
session. The bill divides the metropolis of
London into fifteen municipalities, each
electing a mayor, councillors and aldermen,
with full local powers. The area of the me-
tropolis known as the city of London, under
the jurisdiction Of the lord mayor and Com
mon Council, is not touched by the measure,
which deals exclusively with the territory
embraced by the administrative county of
london The new bodies will have the
same powers as are now possessed by the
great provincial municipalities of England,
and will not be connected with the London
County Council, the governing body of the
administrative ounty This ouncil in flu
ture will deal only with matters of general
metropolitan concern.
Mr.. Balfour, in presenting the measure,
said the government was convinced that the
plan proposed was the only one for dealing
effectively with such an enormous aggre-
gate Of humanity as the population of the
metropolis. 1t was hoped by the govern
ment, he added, that the new bodies might
be launched in November of next year.

Hair of MuscOgee burned.

WAGGONER, /. T., Feb. pa fire which
started at Muscogee, I. T., at $3.50 last night
destroyed nearly one-half Of that town, en-
failing a loss ,-aggregating nearly $500. 600.
The fire began in a negro shanty near the
courthouse. 1t spread east, south and north
and destroyed the greater portion of the
business part of the town and many private
residences. There was no loss of life or
serious casualties. About 40 per cent. of the
loss is covered by insurance. The Muscogee
citizens indicate their intention to rebuild
their ruined homes and business. There were
many deeds of heroism, and the one fire
company did all that was possible with their
limited apparatus. The greatest loss Was
