THE ROYAL DECLARATION,

Editor Catholic Times London: The Catholic
Times will comment this week, no doubt. on the
Coronation Oath question, raised a few DAYS ago
in the House of Lords For long years past / have
been astonished at the silence if not cowardice, of
the Catholic lords in the gided chamber when an
important Catholic question was before the house
say now, sir, am scandalized that out of thirty
three members only three had word to say on the
subject of the blasphemous oath, and the last of
the three was so lukewsrm that silence would have
been by far the better policy. Why did not the thr-
ty-three stand up and protest in body and resent
the insult to our holy relgion2 Oh for an OConnell
Just for day in the House of Lords when such
subject was brought forward 1t would not be "as
you were" No. the Catholics of the British empire
would all hear of it and would be stirred in their
millions. 1t is well known the king hated the or
deal of the oath, and Catholics and Irishmen con-
sequently on that and many other grounds revere
him. Yours, ETC.. CATHOLICUS.

CATHoLIc1TY IN JAPAN.

Last week the Holy Father received inzprivate
audience Mgr. Mugabure coadiutor with right of
succession to the Bishop of Toxic. His Holiness
showed great interest in the state of religion in
Japan, and Mgr. Magabure was almost enthus-
astic in his accounts. He declares that there is
now complete freedom fworship throughout the
empire of the mikado and that quite lately the
Catholics of Toxic, to the number of about 1000
might be accompanying the Blessed Sacra-
ment in solemn procession through the streets of
the capital
1t is probable that the Catholics at present in
Japan outnumber all the sects taken together al
though there only 10 Catholic missionaries as
compared with over thousand Protestants. Mgr
Magabure declares that the Catholic priest is gen
orally respected by the japanese, who flock in
crowds to hear his conferences on the existence of
God, the Immortality of the soul, etc.
Mgr Magabure is member of the Society of
Foreign Missions of Paris. He was for many
years professor of French i'll the University of To-
kio, and he has been succeeded in that office by
Marist missionary.

rRAPp1sr AT MELLARY MAY DIE OUT.

Unless recruits are brought from Irish soil,
New Mellary Monastery the home of the Trappist
Order of Monks, near Dubuque, is bound to become
a thing of the past
The monastery at New Meary contains at the
present time but thirty-fve members of the order,
and the number is steadily growing less. Visitors
to the monastery can not fail to notice the differ
ence that the falling off of the order has made in
the care of the grounds. The vineyard is smaller
than usual the gardens not well kept and the
pine walk, that was once the pride of the country
round, fallen into disuse. The Trappists farm of
1.4OO acres is the largest in Dubuque county, and
the brothers are unable TO for it they have
done. They have secured the aid of almost every
farmer near New Mellarv, but cannot engage
enough help to keep it in perfect condition
Only two courses lie open to them,-according
to the Judgment of the brothers-either to dispose
of part of their farm or else to secure additions
to their order from the old country. In the past
twenty years, but one member has been added to
their order from the vicinity of the monster and
the number of brothers III the churchyard greatly
exceeds the number in the monastery

CARDINALS, INCOME CUT.

Ever since he succeeded the late Pope Leo, Plus
y has tried to cut down the expenses Of the Holy
Noe-a policy which has made him anything but
popular amongst the cardinals of Rome.
\ few days ago he announced his intention of
cn inc off an annual amount of $4,000 francs
which 1T had been customary to pay to every car
oMaI residing in Rome. The majority of these car
oInaIs have various other sources of income be-
s.de> thcreresidences, which arc paid for by the
Church
Pope Plus X now intends to have all the cardi-
'a-~ reside in the vatican proper where there is
nmplc room, and in this way save the high rental
which now has TO be paid for mansions for the
c.naIs in the city Of Rome.
Several Of the cardinals are protesting against
this. and say that it would not be proper for them
oil TO live in the same building, il would detract
rom their dignity, and they also object to the cut
ling down of their income
A very prominent cardinal said: 1T costs about
$4,000 francs to be made a cardinal, and many
cardinal has died without succeeding in paying off
debts which he has incurred to meet this ex-
ponse"

GERMAN CATHOLICS OF BOSTON.

Twenty yeaFs ago there was but one German
American parish in all New England-that of the

PAUL1sr PRIEST AT cHArAU QUA.

At Tuesdays assembly at Chatuatuqua, n Y.
the discussion of State rs. Parochial Schools
was continued. Father Arthur P. Doyle G.. S. p,
who presented the Catholic view Of the school
question before large audience, said in part
Originally America was deeply and pro-
foundry religious country, but the day is fast APP
preaching when that cannot longer be said with any
truth. OF two generations now the children have
been educated without any effort to strengthen their
religious principles, and in fact, the whole attitude
of the public school has been to discourage and
diminish interest in religious matters as secondary
ment As result are fast losing our Christian
ideals and drifting away into paganism. Disaster
surely is written over our future unless we do
something to inject the life-giving principle of
religion into the blood of our nation.

New York, July 26.-It is stated in special
dispatch from Rome, says the London correspond
ent of the Herald that the Pope has commissioned
Cardinal Vannuteli who is about to visit ireland,
to try to obtain from j. Pierpont Morgan the
priceless ancient cope that was stolen in 1902 from
the Cathedral of AscoIi
The cope mysteriously disappeared while re-
pairs were being made to the cathedral. and
though. the government took measures for its re-
covery, they we're unsuccessful. 1t now transpires
that the cope was sold to Mr.. Morgan who has
loaned 1t to the South Kensington museum, where
1t Is at present on view.
The cope is a beautifully embroidered piece of
work, done in France in the thirteenth century. It
