Al-4 SATOLLI Re is Said to Have Lost Favor With the Pope. a ed SUPPOSED CAUSE OF CHANGE Interesting Facts in the Keane and Sctiroetfer Gases. SOME INSIDE HISTORY The information was published in New York yesterday that Cardinal Satolli, who formerly enjoyed sueh high confidence of the pope, was now in disfavor with the Roman pontiff. According to the report, the authority for thts was an American priest, recently returned from Rome, whose sojourn in the eternal city was one of as- ciation with the ‘most distinguished ec- clesiastics connected with the papal court. Continuing, the artict was as followe: “While in this Country Satolli was sup- posed to represent the more liberal policy of the Catholic Church, as exemplified by the pope himself and exercised here by Gibbons, Ireland and Keane, who were his recognized consulters and advisers. His ideas seemed to be distinctively American, especially with relation to the school ques- tlon.and his liberal pronouncements created differcaces among the highest prelates in the land, which have yet hardly been heal- ed. On returning to Rome, and being ap- pointed to the College of Cardinals, he was freely discussed as the probable successor to Leo XIII. Indeed, it was said that the pope had expressed the desire that Satolli shouid succeed him. “ "Bui it is all changed now,’ said the priest, ‘for he will receive but one vote when the time shall come for the cardinals to choose Leo successor.” His Pro- rman Warmth “No one in Rome can divulge the reasons which heve reduced Satolii from the su- preme favor that he enjoyed only a com- paratively short time ago. At first, on bis return, he was loud in his praise of the American priesthood and of American in- stitutions, but latterly he is. repor have said that no one in Americ: capable of doing any service to the church excepting the Germans, especially asp fessors in colleges and universities. These statem cf the priest seam to be, in a measure, confirmed by the sent! nents expressed in a letter which Satoili has written to the Rev. Charles Mafznen, a member of the french priesthool, who has recently besome known as the author of the book, ‘Father Hecker: Is | He Saint?” a volume criticising Father liott’s book on the work and life of the late Father Isaac T. Hecker, the foun ter of the congregation of the Panlist Fathers, and denouncing the type of priest er represented. In this letter P i say “"We hope that the good God will assist you in arresting the mest disastrous pest which has spread contagion in two worlds. Your reverence may fecl assured that you have done a most useful and commendable work, and if perchance sume one should take it amiss, he ought rather to confess that he has upconsciousiy erred, express regret and profit by the lesson.” ” Reports acter have been in circu n amovgs prominent dignitaries of the chureh in this country for several weeks pst, but with the customary re a cence of men in their positions they hav: to declined discuss the stated today on pretty gt the fact of Cardinal Sav favor at Rome was known and freely com- mented upon at the yecent meeting of the archbishops at the Catholic University.

A little bit of unwritten history may be interpolated here. Just before Archbishop Keane left for Europe and after his return from California he made a famous addr to the faculty and students of the univer- sity, no report of which was ever made. lt was a thrilling and reassuring addres to the men who heard it, for in it the arch- shop threw back the taunts so generally dé that he was being taken to Rome to » cured of his m ‘In denying th he grew em- phatic, and excl: at whether in Rome or anywhere else he would fight “man or the devil in belalf of those ideas.

Certainly the tution he founded sull continues ate them most sedulously Facts About the Schroeder Case. ‘The controversy over Mgr. Schroeder was arded as on» of the which led to Keane's retirement from the university, and it may be a fact that it was. Mgr. chroeder Was a recognized leader in th German party in the church; almost as wuch so as Cardinal Satolli himself, But the Schroeder opposition, so far as the university itself was concernad, was per- Laps more of a personal than of an ecele siustical character. When the long coniest culminated it was at a meeting of the bishops at the Catholic Voiversit . Bishop Horstmann was Schroedsr’s champion, and determined to fight for him to the bit- of ub w ter end. On the morning day which brought forth Schroeder's resig- nation a party of Washington gentlemen were gather:d in the room of the rector, immediately inside the entranee to MeMa hon Hall. ‘The: opposition to Schroeder in the meeting upstairs was made aware of the arrival of this party, and Bishop Hcrst- mann was informed of the charact>r of the statements they: were ready te make under oath regarding Monsignor Schroeder. Bish- op Horstmann d:clared that if such was the case he would present his friend's resig- nation by % o'élock, and a few minutes afterward left the meeting and proceeded to Monsignor Schroeder's quarters in. Di- vinity Hall. There was a tong and in ani- mated conference, but the result was the resignation of Mgr. Schroeder. It can be stated, also, on the very best authority, that if the retention of Mgr. Schro had been decided on there would have been very few of the faculty of Divinity College left at the university. ——— George H. Bonebrake Dead. LOS ANGELES, Cal., October 31.—Geo. H.

A Spaniard's Tribute to Accuracy American Gunners. Mr. Ernesto Lyden, a — prominent Spaniard, has written a paper in regard to the American navy, in which he says: “The Spanish fleet at Cavite was de- feated because the American ships were superior in number and had more power- ful guns. The Spanish fleet did its duty, for it fought until it sank into the sea. The gunners of the American fleet hand- led their guns better than those of the Spanish ships, because their government had seen the war coming long before it broke out, and had issued proper orders in due time that the gunners of its fleet should practice and learn how to use guns in a battle. “As the Spanish government ¢ f dd not be- lieve in the war, it seems that it did not issue any for the very expensive rget prac with modern guns, and the Spanish ships hud therefore been limited to such practices as are made by thy sailors of all nations under p regula- tions. Hence it was not the of the Spanish crews that the American crews knew better how to shoot. at Santiago de Cuba ttacked_ by nd no fleet fire of modern “The Spanish fleet was defeated because it w a force four times as large can withstand the terrible guns of an enemy so many times superior.

In order that Spain may be enabled to re- cover soon and take advantage, so far as the navy is concerned, of the fact that it is almost an insuiar country, it should fol- low the example of Germany, not oniy in building war ships and giving aid to ship- yards, but also instituting and encourag ing everything relating to navigation and other maritime industries, and especially i tablishing our former high sea ss ve —- Naval Orders.
