Delivers Speech During Reception at

Delivers Speech During Reception at
Vatican.
Rome. March 2.-During the reception
on the anniversary OF the birth and the
appointment of the pope, his holiness
today made an address, in the course
of which he said:
1T is one of Gods acts of benevo-
lence that, enfeebled by age and IA
tigues, we do not succumb under the
difficulties which still come to place
obstacles before the free exercise of
action by the church. Impudence, cal
jimmy and other iniquitous means are
exercised freely against the church,
which aims only at the good of hu-
manity."
After explaining the situation of civ
ilization, ne eulOgized those who had
acquired Importance in the propagation
of Christian civilization. BY such i'm
pOrtance Catholic France said the
pope, lis more than ever rich and Justly
proud. However, she is actually men
aced on this account by grave dangers.
This, indeed, might be a misfortune
and calamity to the interests of re-
ligion and the country, if the tempest
which threatens to disperse such SER
ious efforts and such fine hopes does
not turn aside"
The pope invoked the aid of God to
this end. He accused especially the evil
sects which are unanimous in com bat
ting Catholic institution in order finally
to destroy them, if that is possible. He
does not. however, fear for the church.
Which is strong in divine promises and
even draws therefrom a virtue and a
new glory.
His holiness eulogized Catholics in the
entire world who are tractable, rever-
encing the church. His chief regret
WAS the blindness of certain men, and
he asked with bitterness what would
become of future operations if inspired
by such principles. which are a bad
omen. His holiness reaffirmed the i'm
perceptible rights of the apostolic see,
"of which the pope is not the arbiter.
but a trustee, or guardian, whose duties
are sacred"
Abiding to his last encyclica1, he
said he judged it opportune to declare
that the best means of being useful
to mankind is to watch over that
which is inestimable to God. which is
harmony in all classes

Ommend the organization of civil gov

provinces. The provinces of Pampan-
ga, however, as reported by General
Macarthur, he considered ripe for civil
rule
In General Grants opinion, civil
government ought to be organized I'M
til the insurgents were either captured
or conquered, however peaceful they
might appear. Conditions were devel-
oping with such unexpected rapidity
that it was well to organize civil gov
eminent as an experiment, and General
Grant believed that some of these
would be successful especially since,
unlike the system of municipal govern
ment, the provincial system places lit
tie real authority or self government
on the people themselves, the actual
control remaining with the American
Philippine commission.
