Cardinal Satolli has been in the United

which he has been travelling FROM New
York he came south to Baltimore. ana

Indiana
Visit One Of Pleasure.
The cardinal appears trife thinner ana
somewhat more aged since he was last IN
Washington. He says his visit to Wash
ington is one Of purely personal pleasure
and has nothing to do with affairs OF the
church, other than to note the progress
made since he was last in the United States.
1t has been emphatically stated by per
sons who were in position to speak &C
curately that he has no mission from
Rome. but, despite these repeated asser-
tons. conjecture is widespread, and many
are inclined to believe that back OF what
| is stated to be a vacation trip lies some
momentous problem of church policy.
Significance Of Entertainment.
Attention has been called to the fact
| that the cardinal will dine with Secretary
| Taft and take luncheon with President
| Roosevelt, and in view OF his high position
| in the church great Importance has been at
4 tached to these functions. Comment has
| also been INDUCED In with reference to the
| dinner given to the visitor a week ago yes
! terday by Cardinal Gibbons at the latter s
home in Baltimore. Cardinal Satoli went
from New York to Baltimore the day
! of the dinner, and remained that night and
| over last Sunday. when he departed
There Is revival of the talk of diplo-
matte relations between the United States
| and Rome and in some circles it is init

| have President Roosevelt arrange some.
| thing of the kind.
| 1t has been suggested that in coming tC
| the United States merely to receive contri
4 buttons while ne is cardinal of the curia
| Cardinal Satolli has broken an almost iron
| clad rule. Such officials have special du-
| ties in connection with the administ ra tior
| of the affairs of the holy see, and in the
| past they have seldom left Rome. How.
| ever, II is said that In the future the ole
| rule will be relaxed to a degree, and that
among other proposed visits, Cardinal Van
utelli may attend the dedication of the Ar
| magh Cathedral, in Ireland.
