A Rome correspondent describes the
Pope as particularly grieved at the de-
struction Of the new Roman Catholic
cathedral in Pekin, toward the erec-
ton Of which he was a generous SUBJ
,scriber. 1t seems that the building
: was an object of offense to the em-
press-dowager, by reason of its spires
overtopping those of the imperial res
idence. To satisfy her scruples. the
archbishop Of Pekin acquiesced in vari-
GUS architectural alterations, but ap-
parently these were not sufficient to
avert the antagonism of the lady and
the Boxers. The Pope is said to be en-
deavoring to arrange a coalition be-
tween France, Austria, and Belgium
for the active protection and promo
tion of Catholic interest in the Far
East.
