Vatican Note to the Powers De-
nounced in Parliament at
Rome.
PEOPLE CHEER C0MBES.
Republican and Socialist Deputies Accuse
the Pope of Declaring War
Against the King.
CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATE.

Rome. May 31.--The Vatican's note to
the powers, which resulted in the recent
diplomatic rupture with France, was de-
nounced as an insult to Italy in the Ital-
ian Chamber of Deputies yesterday and
the government urged to take energetic
measures to prevent the interference of
the church with Italian affairs.
Sig. MaZza, Republican, called the note
of the papal secretary of state, Merry
Del Val, perfect insult. He recalled
that the Pope had not protested against
atrocious offenses to religion in France.
His holiness had now risen against the
King, who, according to the Vatican, had
stolen the pontifical patrimony, desig-
mating his majesty as a usurper. The
note therefore was a declaration of war.
National Pride Forgotten.
Signor Mazza declared that the govern
ment had forgotten all pride and the ma
tional dignity in permitting the people
Of France to defend Italian rights.
The Liberals and the extreme parties
applauded. and the galleries joined.
Signor Guerci. Radical, followed. say
ing that "this time the Vatican is not pro-
testing, but bleating.'
Signor Cabrins, Socialist, interrupting
Call it braying'
Signor Guerci. continuing, complained
that the Pope, who in his career before
he became pontiff. saw, appreciated. and
prohted by Italian unity, should now as
pontiff have as his inspirer and executive
against Italy a foreigner, Cardinal Del
Val.
Premier Giolitti Replies.
Premier Giolitti, who arose amidst a
breathless silence, said that the Vatican
note naturally was not communicated to
the Italian government. The Vatican
note contained a phrase regarding the
King Of Italy, but the effect produced
was such that they must be extremely
glad Of the existence Of that phrase as
it had offered Premier Combes the OPP
portunlty to make a statement so fatter-
ing to Italian patriotism.
The crowded galleries rose and ap-
plauded for five minutes, crying "Viva
Combes."
Protest Thirty-four Years Old.
Sig. Giolitti continued:
THE note contained the usual protest
which the Vatican has been repeating
for thirty-four years. Italy has no rea-
son to change her policy. She does not
fear the invasion of the congregations, as
she has laws to protect herself. If these
laws are insufficient we will make new
ones.
70 fear that the country cannot pro-
tect itself against the influences of for
eign congregations is to insult Italians.
The state and the church must be as
two parallel lines which never meet.
Both must enjoy liberty. 1t will re
worse for the church On the day that she
illegally interferes in the affairs of the
state
