ant Day for Ex-President in
Rome.

Rome, April 5-King Victor En-
manuel called on Mr.. Roosevelt at the
latter's hotel Beausite this morning.
Some time was spent in animated con-
versation. Following the chat, the
king and Mr.. Roosevelt entered his
majestys motor car and paid a visit
to the barracks of the Cuirrassiers,
the Royal Body Guard. The Curras-
siers executed a series of maneuvers
for the former president, who was
much pleased.

Ambassador Leishman had arranged
a reception at the American embassy
in order that Mr.. Roosevelt might
meet the Americans of Rome regard
less of their religious faith. The ap-
pearance, however, of DR.. Tipple's
statement, displeased many American
Catholics, who forthwith manifested
an intention of staying away from the
reception if the Methodists of the or
ganiation represented by DR.. Triple
were to be presented. The matter
was carried to Mr. Roosevelt who af-
ter hearing both sides, promptly ask
ed Mr.. Leishman to cancel the whole
affair. The sensation caused by the
determination of Mr. Roosevelt not
to be received by the Pope on the
terms made by Cardinal Marry Del
Val continues unabated. The press
today is filled with columns on the
subject. The papers of all shades Of
political opinion, with the exception
of the clerical organ, support Mr..
Roosevelt's attitude. Some violent
anti-clerical sheets are trying to
arouse a great anti-clerical demon
stration, to be made at the railway
station when Mr.. Roosevelt leaves the
city on Wednesday night. None of
these partisan movements has the
| sympathy of Mr.. Roosevelt, who is ex-
ceedingly put out that a personal in
! cident should have melted an exhibit
ton of that very religious hostility
which he so greatly deprecated.

Rome, April 5.-Mr. Roosevelt to-
| day called off the reception to the
members of the American colony set
for tomorrow night. This action can
| be traced directly to an issuance yes

| Triple, pastor of the American Meth
odist church, in which the latter made

Apparently Mr. Roosevelt does not
propose to be used by any one to the
ldisparagement of any one else, for
this morning he requested Ambassa-
dor Leishman not to hold the recep-
tion planned for Wednesday. DR..
Triple called on Mr.. Roosevelt yes
terday and the latter made a public
statement which lifted the Vatican
episode out of the realm of personal
and gave it a worldwide significance.
"Mr. Roosevelt has struck a blow for
twentieth century Christianity" said
DR.. Triple. Representatives of two
great republics have been the ones
to put the Vatican where it belongs.
The Vatican is incompatible with Re-
pulGican principles. This is bitter
dose for patriotic Catholics in Ameri-
ca to swallow"
Il wonder how many more does this
sort take before they will revolt.

promising foe of freedom. The world
