FRIARS NEEDED.
ireland Says Aglipay Schism Does
Not AMOUNT to Much.

Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul. who has been
spending the week in New-York. said last night
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel that the Philippine
question far ii related to the Catholic
Church, would be worked out on thoroughly
American lines by the three American bishops
appointed by the Pope to take charge of the
three sees in the archipelago
Rome has left the responsibility in the hands
of Monsignor Guidi the Apostolic Delegate, and
the three American bishops said the Arch
bishop. These bishops. as is already known,
are DR.. Rocker, of Washington, formerly OF
Albany; DR.. Dougherty. Of Philadelphia, and
whoever is appointed in place of DR.. Mont
gonery, of California, who has decided that he
cannot go. Rome and the United States are
anxious for permanent peace in the islands. and
both are hopeful of getting it. The Roman au-
thorities have accepted loyalty and fully the
authority Of this nation in the Philippines, and
are shaping all Church matters in accordance
with it. This is demonstrated by the appoint
ment Of the three American bishops to the three
sees. The friar land question is. of course, one
of the difficult problems. It is being delayed,
but, all things considered. it is moving on salts
factorily. I apprehend that that question will
be successfully handled by the American
bishops"
viii the friars who seem to be so objection
able to the natives be withdrawn"
The American bishops will be called on to
decide that said the Archbishop. TT is a
difficult question. Who is to take the places OF
these frars? 1t is not an easy matter to find
priests to take the places of the friars-priests
who know the dialect. The native priests are
not numerous. enough and are not fully equipped
by training 70 take charge of matters.
DO YOU regard AgIipay, who has established
a so-called national Filipino Catholic church, as
formidable?" DR.. Ireland was asked.
4 do not think the Aglipay schiSIn VIII amount
to much. Aglipay has no great personal pres
tige either as a churchnlan or as orator. He
does not strive exactly TO turn the people away
from the Roman church. On the contrary, ne
says he is the true representative Of Rome. His
great handle is pride of race. He is trying TO
persuade the FiIipl1os that they will be looked
down upon unless they have their own church
and native priests. 1t is an interesting sltua-
ton. The bishops who are going out TO cope
with il there thorough Americans, and thor
oughly in sympathy with American ideas"
The Archbishop left here for the West last
night. He is not going to the Philippines He
saws he keeps closely Informed on the situation
there.
