New York, April 20.-Secretary of War
Taft was the chief speaker at a mass
meeting held by the Laymen's Missionary
movement at Carnegie Han tonight.
He was introduced by Or. John r.
Mott. secretary OF the international COM
mittee of the Y. NJ c. A Mr.. Taft was
cheered for a minute or more before he
was allowed to speak. His speech gave
his personal impressions of missionary
work in the Orient.
I'VE have 10 wake up" the Secretary
said. I'VE have to recognize the fact
that We are not all there is in the world
who are entitled to the money and the
help of Christians. Christianity and the
spirit Of Christianity are the hope Of the
world, and the only basis Of popular
self-government, for the spirit of Chris
tianity is democracy.
4 am not here to speak of foreign
missions from the religious standpoint,
but from the standpoint Of civilization.
and how necessary they are to IT,"
The Secretary then went on TO speak
OF missions In the Philippines. and
said that five Augustinians went to the
islands in 1866, and, as the result of
painstaking labors, there were 1000. 900
Christians In the Philippine archipelago
the only large body of Christians in
the Orient
Because OF these Christians" Mr.
Taft said, they are fit to become a
self-governing people in a few gener-
atiOns. The wait is necessary because
there are a million in the islands who
are not Christians. Five hundred thou
sand or more are Mohammedans and
the Mohammedan is absolutely opposed
TO democracy

Rome, April 2o.-The entire Catholic
population Of Rome is inoensed at an
act of saerIIege that was committed yes
terday IN the Pope's private chapel, dur
ing the celebration Of the Easter mass
by his Holiness. The congregation num-
bered about 200. All afterward partook
Of the holy communion. Among them
were two women and a man who had
been admitted on the strong recommen-
dation Of the Austro- Hungarian Ambas-
sador TO the Vatican.
While the Pope was administering the
sacrament these three were seen to re-
move the waters from their mouths. One
Of the women was actually seen casting
lit on The floor.
The Pope was Mortified. The offenders
were Immediately expelled from the
chapel They were recognized by the
ambassador. who was present Later
they were identified as Prof Felbegen.
of the University Of Vienna. and his
wife and sister-in-law.
The Pope was So grleved that he wept
bitterly. The Austro- Hungarian Ambas-
sador viii be recalled. # is said.
Despite the secular character Of most
Of the newspaper here. and the popular
antpathy 10 the Vatican. the sacrtlege
at the sistine Chapel is sharply con-
demned
The question is discussed whether the
offenders cannot be punished by law It
is recalled that six months ago. a. the
height OF the anti-clerlcal agitation, two
lads behaved in a parish church with de
libeEate bravado, similar TO the offenders
in the sistine Chapel They were seized
by the officiating priest and handed over
to the police. They were indicted for
outraging the religion of the state and
sentenced TO several months imprison-
ment
It is contended that the police cannot
move IN this case unless the Vatican spe-
cially requests them TO do SO. as the
sistne Chapei Is regarded as extraters.-
torial.
It is said that the Pope firmly refuses
70 invoke the Law. but prays for the con-
version Of the offenders.
His holiness is terribly shaken by the
affair. and feels that the body Of Christ
was outraged in his person as Chrlst's
vicar.
The Sistine Chapel will not need recon
secration. as sacrilege does not consti-
tute PROCLAMATION.
The persons who offended say they did
not intend any outrage against CathoIi-
cism- They say they received the com
munion mistakenly, and did not actually
spit out the host. They only attempted
and failed. because they were detected.
They now realize the enormity Of their
act. for which regret the Pope hopes they
will receive Gods grace and that they
will become Catholics. the only way IN
which they can expiate their offense.
