ing short Of reverence could possibly
have been tolerated by either the Ameri-
can OF English public. nor could dream
Of hurting the religious sasceptibiHties
Of the public.
Why should / reply to the particular
charges made against the character Of
the Pope in The Eternal City?" Every
body who has read the novel knows per
fectly well that the Pope is the one en-
tiTely sympathetic and lovabIe character
in the story. Why must excuse it or
apologize for it?
The real test of the two points Us
it right to put the Pope on the stage?
and Is the Pope treated with proper re
spect and reverence in The Eternal
/ City7--Is the effect produced on tfs@
audiences at the theater.
How can ] be afraid Of bringing the
play to that test? Nobody who has wit
messed the play can have a moments
uncertainty on the subject The effect
. is to maintain in Catholic minds the rev
crence felt for the head Of the Catholic
Church and to increase it in the minds
Of Protestants. For this effect I owe
much TO my. colleagues, Mr.. Tree in Eng
land. ard Miss Allen in America, whose
handling Of a delicate interest is full OF
I the truest spirit. That they have been
helped by many Catholics and have re
ceived counsel and advice from Roman
I Catholic ecclesiastics. and even out OF

hurt any religious feeling but, on the
contrary, tried to stimulate the public
respect for a great and holy Office
IL has been objected that the Pope in
the play had an earlier career as a sol
djer. as well as married man: but how
can one answer objections which are
bgseG on such want of knowledge Of
known facts 81 the lives OF even Eng
Gsh cardinals Of modern times? There
is aothing whatever in the history OF

ROOSEVELT'S IDEA ADOPTED
IN VENEZUELAN QUARREL

Venezuela in the mood to abide by the de-
cision of The Hague.
In short, that element Of guarantee which
would have accompanied President Roose-
velt's acceptance of the office of arbitrator
is now lacking.
at the same time it is readily admitted
that. from the American point of view,
President Roosevelt has acted wisely In de-
clining to serve.
This represents the general drift of news
paper comment this morning. The only
paper which really welcomes the decision
to refer the Venezuelan matter to The
Hague is the radical Daily News. which
sees a chance of making arbitration once
more a reputable theory, paying tribute
to the cooluess of President Roosevelt and
the correct attitude of the United States
during this sorry business" The Daily
News says:
THE Venezuelan crisis has done much to
enhance Mr.. Roosevelt's reputation and to
bring home to Englishmen the essential
fricndliness of the American people
The Daily Mail. in a violent attack upon
the Government, says:
Thus ends perhaps the most inglorious
episode in which Great Britain has engaged

for the La Guayra-Caracas Railroad. a
British concern, arrived off this port yes
terday and was ordered to remain outside
the blockade line.
To-day orders were conveyed to the cap
tain of the bark to depart. This step was
taken because the coal was considered con-
traband of war.
The vessel was not seized. as she left Car
diff before the trouble with Venezuela COM
menced. The captain of the Framnas Is
awaiting orders from his consignees.
The Dutch Consul here has asked for ana

of the British cruiser Tribune to send a
schooner to Los RoQues, a group Of small
islands. about 120 miles north of here. where
the charcoal burners, who trade with La
Guayra, are at present without provisions
or water. their sloops having been seized
by the blockaders.
The schooner must carry a flag OF truce.
She can only take enough provisions to last
the trip and she will remove all the inhab-
itants of Los Roques to Whiemstad, Cura-
