THE death of NJ Guidi may have the ef-

for a little while but as his work had about
been accomplished, in my opinion 1t Will

The Cardinal when requested for

made tho sign Of the cross upon his lips.
and said:
"Ah, you ask me about France. That is
| a question which time alone can answer.
| Each day brings something new on the
subject. and just where it will end God
| alone knows" And then. as though fully
aroused, he continued with considerable
feeling
NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION.
But France is not n Christian nation.
1t is menace not only to the Catholic
Church. but to civilization at large. The
poor citizens of France! They are not TO
be blamed 1t is their infideI Government.
They are trying to be Christians and love
their church. but those in authority will
not permit them. Regarding the note ex-
pressing the Holy Fathers displeasure at
the coming of President LOubet to visit
at the Quirinal; may say that his Holi-
ness was entirely responsible. He acted
upon his own initiative and you may rest
assured he is well able to take care of his
own affairs. The Cardinals have nothing
to say in the matter. The Holy Father
is supreme. and he finally decides how he
will -a3t upon these questions. 1 noticed
In some of the German and Italian papers
that an effort is being made to effect
reconciliation between the Vatican and
the Quirinal You may say that there is
nothing in it. The two forces are as far
separated as they ever have been"
The Cardinal then spoke interestingly
of the impression the Worlds Fair has
created in Europe. He said that it is GER
tainly we'll advertised there. and very IA
vorably. too. II was a great pleasure to
him when the Pope granted permission to
leave Rome and visit the great Exposition.
From accounts he had received abroad. he
said that he did not doubt that the st.
Louis Fair is the greatest OF its kind ever
held.
his visit to America at the present time
was made for no other purpose than TO
see the Exposition and to renew old ac-
quaintances.
The Cardinal left Baltimore Sunday in
the private car of Cardinal Gibbons. An
ovation was given him at every large
city and in some places he addressed the
crowds from the rear platform and ad-
large delegation. headed by the Most Rev
erend Coadjutor Henry Moeller, gave him
an especial enthusiastic ovation.
Accompanying the Cardinal are MonsiS-
nor Dennis O'Connell. rector of the Cath
olic University at Washington; the Cardi-
