WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The Hawailan question was agaln brought before the public in the senate by the discussion of the resolution Introduced by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts calling on the secretary of the navy for in- formation as to why the United States battle- ships had been withdrawn from Hawailan waters. The debate, which was interesting | throughout, consumed the greater part of the morning hour, and at its close the resolution took its place on the calendar and now can be taken up only by unanimous consent. The debate was listened to attentively by sen- ators and the visitors. Mr. Morgan con- sluded his specch on the Nicaragua canal bill, after which the bill making appropri- ations for the support of the military acad- emy for the fiscal year 1896 was passed. It carries an appropriation of $420,000, a reduc- tion of $41,560 as passed by the house. The senate then, after a brief exccutive session, adjourned until Monday. After the journal had been approved and the routine morning business transacted, Mr. Lodge, republican of Massachusetts, addressed the senate upon his resolution of inquiry as to why the United States warship had been withdrawn from Honolulu. Mr. Lodge said: At the beginning of the session I introduced a resolution asking for the reports and correspondence of Admiral Walker in regard to Hawall. My motive in so doing was because I believed the opinions and observations of a distinguished and able naval officer, who is necessarily outside of all politics, would be of great value to us i understanding the condition of affairs there and in reaching a proper knowledge of our relations with these is- lands. Admiral Walker's papers were, as I anticipated, most valuable on these points. They showed that to a distnterested person, directed by no patriotic motive, it was per- fectly clear that our policy was the annexa- tion of those islands. They confirmed in this way thev iews expressed by the senate in a resolution of last summer and which I believe antially all the except those concerned in the present administration. Al this was valuable information, but Admiral Walker's last letter brought out strongly a pretty im- portant point which had thus far not been appreciated. It was known to us through the press that all our warships had been with- drawn from Hawali and_ that, although several were lying fdle at Mare island, none had been sent back to Honolulu, The' letter of Admiral Walker, to which I have referred, disclosesein a striking way the danger and impolicy of this course and also proves that our government had been warned in regard to it by an officer entitled to speak on such a point with the authority of an expert. Admiral Walker says, with great frank. ness, that if the British men-of-war as well as our own bad been withdrawn, it might have been a good thing—certainly it would have done no harm to the stability of gov- crament in the islands.” BRITISH ENCOURAGED THE ROYALISTS. He then referred to the manner in which England reached out to increase her pos- sessions; and asserted that the British ship cncouraged the Hawaiian royalists, while the absence of (he American vessel gave en- couragement to a counter-revolution. He also referred to the fact that Japan had a warship at Hawail. He said the importance of Hawail to the United States could not be overestimated, and would become -greater tipon the completion of the Nicaraguan canal. He continued: “‘Under such circumstances, to leave these islands without the confidence and protection of an American ship of war and leave our interests in Pearl harbor and the interests of our citizens ungarded, ap- pears to me to be wrong in the highest de- gree. What motive actuates the administra- tign in this extraordinary policy it is im- possible to say. If it is their desire to throw the Sandwich islands into the hands of Great Britain, as they have openly proposed to do with Samoa, their action is comprehensible, but nothing else explains it, Such a policy is 0 unpatriotic, however, that it is difficult to conceive that it should be entertained. It scems to me that in view of the vast im- portance of the Sandwich islands to this great country, that a great wrong has been committed in withdrawing our ships at this moment and that a man-of-war should be sent there at once. It is for this reason that T have introduced this resolution of in- Quiry and I think our government owes it to the people to send a man-of-war to Honolulu without delay. If they do not do this they will have no right to remaln silent as to their reasons for such an extraordinary course.” At the conclusion of Mr. Lodge's remarks Mr. Butler, democrat of South Carolina, moved the reference of the resolution to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Lodge was disposed to combat this reference, insist- ing that it should more properly go to the committee on naval affairs. The matter was discussed by Messrs, But- ler, Gray, Lodge and pthers. Mr. Aldrich suggested that the resolution be modified so as to request the information on the subject from the president. This met with the views of Mr. Sherman, who £ald the question was purely a diplomatic one. There Was no reason why it should not pass. The people of the United States were entitled to the information desired. Mr. Morgan, democrat of Alabama, de- clared himself in favor of annexation and a gocd friend to the people of Hawail. At the same time the resolution should go to the committee on foreign relations. He believed the new republic of Hawall should have an opportunity to show to the world that it did not need a cruteh to help it along. Mr, Hawley, republican of Connecticut, re- ferred to what he termed “the living con- spiracy’” in the islands and to the advisa- bility of tho people to know what the policy of the United States was to be if a revolution broke out. The inquiry was one that might properly be made. HAD NO FEAR OF ENGLAND. Mr. Butler, democrat of South Carolina, ex- pressed great respect for Admiral Walker, but said that officer had simply given his opinion of what Great Britain would do in the event of certain contingencies, Mr. Butler said he had not the slightest appre- hension on the subject of Great Britain's interference. He fusisted upon the reference of the resolution to the committee on forelgn relations, and hoped that committee would inquire into the wisdom, propriety and ad- vizability of its passage by the senate. Mr. Hale, republican of Maine, urged the .adoption of the resolution. Mr. Gray, democrat of Delaware, spoke of the “‘scandal” and “shame’ to the American people that hed been brought about by the late interference in Hawalian affairs, and said he hoped that the country would not again be smirched by it, and in answer to the sen- ater from Massachusetts (Lodge) he would say that a large body of public opinion shared the views he expressed. Mr. Aldrich also took part ln the discussion at this polnt and asked Mr. Gray concerning the stationing of a ship in Hawatian waters by this government, which led the latter to remark that very unfortunately there was a vessel called some time age. Mr. Aldrich then went on to say a commission of Hawaiian royalists bad visited Wasbington some time ago and he had been told subsequently to that visit the United States ships at the islands had been withdrawn and had wot been replaced. He did not say thelr withdrawal was on ac- count of the commission’s visit, but it was rather a singular circumstance that they should bave been withdrawn following it. The fact that the ships had been withdrawn constituted a sufficient reason why the inquiry should be made. public interest would be imperiled by an an- swer to the resolution. Mr. Aldrich could not understand why this continued jugglery on the Hawailan question was kept up by the party in power. Replying to these observations, Mr, Butler . | declared the object of the resolution was to make a polnt against the administration, and that if there had been Jugglery it was by the senator and bis friends. If he believed some real good could be uccomplished by the adop- people the Boston stationed there | |tary Carlisle and commended the | problem He did not think any great | tlon of the resolution he did not know that he would object. But if the resolution was simply to make a point against the party in power, that party had better take cognizance and see If there was any reason for this im- plied reflection. ISLANDS ARE ESSENTIAL. Mr. Teller of Colorado said he admitted there had been some haste on the part of the outgoing administration In attempting to bring these islands under our flag, but he as- serted that an examination of the public ut- terances, irrespective of party, would show that the great body of the American people sympathized with the effort to bring the islands into closer relations with this country. They were essential to the safety of our com- merce. , If we should build the Nicaragua canal did anybody suppose we would like these islands to pass into forclgn hands? These people are peculiarly under our pro- tection and are threatened by our great com- mercial antagonist, Great Britain. He charged it had been the purpose of the ad- ministration to restore Liliuokalani, and said special agencles had been put to work for that purpose, Mr. Butler said there was no evidence the adminstration had in view the restoration of the queen. Mr. Teller, however, contended the instruc- tions of Commissioner Blount to restore the status quo_could not be otherwise construed and said: “The charge is not a new one. It has been repeated time and time again.” “No significance attaches to the making ot a_charge,” responded Senator Butler. ‘It i3 all in maintaining it.” Mr. Call of Florida opposed the reference of tho resolution. Messrs, Teller, Gray, But- ler and Lodge continued the debate until 2 o'clock, when Senator Morgan took the floor to' continue his speech on tho Nicaragua canal bill, the Hawaiian resolution going to the calendar. Mr. Morgan read at some length from a re- port made by Major Dutton of the army to show that the construction of the canal was entirely practicable and presented extracts from reports of the Burcau of American Re- publics to show that the climate of Nicar- agua was agreeable and anything but un- healthy. He said he thought he had sufi- ciently “answered the senator from Indiana (Turpie) as to the aileged facts on which he had based his energetic statements. The military academy appropriation bill was then taken up. On motion of Mr. Mor- gan it was agreed (hat when the fenate ad- journed today it be until Mondy. The amend- ments made by the appropriations committea to the bill as it came from the house were agreed to and the bill was passed. The pension appropriation bill was taken up, but its consideration was postponed until Monday at the suggestion of Mr. Hawley, who sald several members of the pensions committee who were not present desired to speak. Then, at 3:35, on motion of Mr. Cockrell of Missouri, the senate went into executive session, and at 3:55 adjourned until Monday. MAY VOTE XT THURSDAY. In tho Meantime Gencral Debate on Currency Bill Continucs. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The general de- bate on the currency bill, which consumed the time of the house again today, will con- tinue until the caucus is held. Then if the present plans of the advocates of the bill are endorsed the debate will go on under the five-minute ruie untll Thursday of next week, when the final vote will be taken. The feature of the day's debate was the speech made In_opposition to the measure by Representative Hendrix, a New York banker. He declared the bill weuld be inadequate as a measure of relief for the treasury, and, be- sides, would provide an unsound currency. He suggested as the only measure of reliel the passage of a bill to fund the greenbacks. The other speakers today were, Messrs Hep- burn of Iowa, Dingley of Maine, and Gresham of Texas. 5 At the opening the speaker lald before the house the resignation of Representatiye Painter from the Fifth Kentucky district, to take effect tomorrow, when he -assumes. his new duties as judge of the court.of appeals. On motion of Mr. Hermann, -republican of Oregon, a bill ‘was passed granting an in- crease of pension to Hosea Brown,. aged 103, survivor of the war of 1812; and on motion of Mr. Page, democrat of Rhode Island, to grant American registry to the steamers, Claribel and Athos. The debate on the currency bill was then resumed and Mr. Hendrlx, democrat of New York, a banker, took the floor. The situa- tion that confronted the treasury and the country, he said, had not come suddenly upon us without ample warning. A finance minister of France had once remarked sar- castically that God was good to drunken people, little children and the people of the United States. Was the United States to go out of the business of furnishing. cur- rency for the country as a bank issue? Mr. Hendrix asked. If not, what was it going to do in ordef to avoid the financial bad lands? ~ Were the people of the United States to keep on transgressing every law of finance, defying the world and con- tinue to do what every other nation had 'falled to do? ~ To illustrate the result of the present system, Mr. Hen- drix pointed to the large accessions of gold made by the Bank of France and the Bank of England at our expense. The former yesterday held 2,900,000,000 gold francs, the latter £33,000,000 in gold. The capital and the go'd bullion of the world was resting in these great pools waiting to see what this country would do; whether It would become a bankrupt unable to meet its obligations. MOST MARVELOUS SPECTACLE. Any one, Mr. Hendrix said, who would glance at the frank statements of the treas- ury showing its smaller reserve, could not marvel . that it had not been sooner con- fronted with great peril. Mr. Hendrix de- picted graphically the present anomalous sit- uation—the credit of the United: States ex- cellent, money idle, the bauks full, enter- prise at the lowest ebb, men living from hand to mouth and the treasury fighting to keep its head above water. The question now presented (whether the government was going out of business as a bank of issue) was, Mr. Hendrix sald, an important prob- lem in the commercial world as well as a political one. Mr. Hendrix described at length the pro- cess by which ths gcld was withdrawn by speculators for shipment abroad, and then proceeded to contrast this with the situation in France, where the Bank of Fraunce refused to pay, except whero actually necessary, more than 5 per cent of gold on its demand obliga- tions. These aggressions on cur gold reserve must be stopped, and if the pending bill would stop them, afford relief, take the gov- ernment out of the banking business, as it had been taken out of the silver business, he would vote for it. “Does the acticn of the Bank of France in its refusal to pay more than 5 per cent in gold,”" asked Mr. Hepburn of lowa, “im- pair the credit of that bank?" “No. ““Then, would the credit of the United States be impaired if the United States should excreise ks discretion and redeem the Sher- man notes in silver?" “Yes, I belleve it would, at this time, plied Mr. Hendrix. “Why 2" “Because of the genera) distrust of the government's ability to pay gold. One hun- dred and fifty-nine millions of Sherman gold promises to pay cannot be met withou. gold.” “But the notes are releemable in- coin, not gold,” was Mr. Hepburn's parting shot. Mr. Hendrix, continuing, said that the pending bill was open to the vital objection that it would not do what it set out to do. It would mot relieve the treasury of the aggressions on its gold. It would be a fallure as a bank measure, becauss it would superimpose upon an un- certain body of public eredit currency a much longer and more uncertain bidy of private credit currency without sufficient foundation under the former. SPERRY'S SUBSTITUTE PRESENTED. Mr. Sperry of Ceanecticut presented his substitute, to fund the greeubacks with 3 per oent gold bonds, for the information of the house. Mr., Caruth of Kentucky eulogized Secre- efforts of currency and en- the re- the administration to s-lve the and relieve the treasury, dorsed the pending measure. Mr. Caruth ylelded a small portion of his time to Mr. Hepburn, formerly solicitor of the treasury, who briefly replied to Mr. Hendrix, whom de described as a self-her- alded national banker, who came here with oracular utterances to tell the house what to do. Mr. Hepburn sald his self-laudation was impaired by the recollection of his speech sixteen months ago, when the same condi- tion existed. Mr. Hendrix then found the panacea for all financial llls in the repeal of the Sherman silver law. Mr. Hepburn de- clared Mr. Hendrix had pointed out unwit- tingly the remody for the present evil when he told the Kduke the great banking houses of Burope exeiiolssl thelr diseretion about de- pleting their gold vaults. Why will not the secretary of the treasury exercise the same discration? heasked, amid a round of ap. plause. The eXércisé of this discretion did not impair the credit of Buropean banks, and who dared to say that the credit of this country, with' 68,000,000 of people behind 8 and with aaskimited taxing power, would be impaired beeawse it refused to kneel at the demands of the Shylocks. (Applause.) “Why have mot the republican secretaries of the treasury exercised that discretion?” asked Mr. Pence pf Colorado. “I have not beeri secretary of the treasury,” replied Mr. Hepburn hotly. “When I am 1 will answer. 1 am as fully convinced, how- ever, as I am that I am alive that if the secretary of the treasury were now to ex- ercise his discretion and to pay gold when legitimate redemptions were asked, and refuse it to sharks and speculators, the evils from which we suffer would cease to be (Ap- plause.) Mr. Gresham of Texas supported the bill. At the conclusion of his speech the house, at 5 o'clock, took a recess until 8 o'clock to- night, the night session to be devoted to private pension bills. FEELING THE SENATORIAL PULSE, Democrats Not Certaln What Course to Pursue Concerning Tarift Amondmonts, WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The democratic leaders of the senate are still undecided as to when they will introduce the proposed amendinents to the urgent deficiency bill for the correction of errors in the present tarift, or whether they will introduco them at all. Some of the republican senators think the changes proposed should be made and it is understood some of the republican members of the finance committee are included in the number, When Senator Jones of Arkansas, who has the amendments in charge, was asked it he did not expect them to be ruled out on a point of order Lo replied: *'Not if they are favorably reported upon by a regular commit- too. The rule against amendments to appro- priation bills not germane makes an excep- tion in favor of amendments which receive the endorsement of a committee. 1f we decide to introduce the amendments we shall be pretty sure that they will secure the commit- teo sanction. There is a fear, however, of republican fili- bustering, and the effort which is now mak- ing is to' prevent this or to reduce it to a minimum. A republican member of the com- mitteo cn finance said that so far as he had boen able to ascertain there would be no op- position among the republicans to the pro- posed amendment to the income tax.law re- lieving corporations from the requirement to furnish lists of the salaries paid to all their employes, including those recelving less than $4,000. Tt Is understood that Senators Hoar and Chandler, and possibly others, would op- pose the proposed repeal of the provision con- cerning frec alcohol in the arts, but there is a probability that a promise may be ob- tained holding this opposition down so far as to causo the democrats to fecl justified in putting in the amendment. It is gen- crally understocd among them, however, that any determined opposition amounting o pro- longed obstruction would defeat any amend- ment offered, as there is much business to be tively brief and thero is much business to be done before adfourninent. DEMOCEATS WILL CAUCUS. Will Try to Ggk, Tokether on *he Carrency Bill.op Monday. WASHINGTON, ‘Jan. 4—“A democratic house caucus giy, thb currency bill probably will be called sfor 4 - o'clock Monday after- noon,” said Mf. Hélman, chairman of the caucus committee, after he had conferred today with SpegkerUrisp and Representative Springer. concernjng the situation.

Thé-désire:had been to hold the caucus Saturday, but as many democratic members, ar> absent;. it was deemed best ito walt until Monday in.order to secure a full attendance, 30y Owing to the absence from the city of Representative Catchings of the rules committee, ~who s - expected back today, no rule to close debate = has yet been framed by the committee on rules, but It is probable such a rule will be in- troduced on Saturday, It will fix the limits of the five-minute debate and a time for the final vote. While no exact time has been fixed, it is the opinion of Mr. Springer and others directing the course of the bill that Wednesday, January 9, at noon, will be the best time, A prominent democratic member of the house who talked with Secretary Car- lisle yesterday, says the secretary is op- posed to having his bill, of which Mr. Springer is the director, abandoned. He ex- pressed the belief that the bill could pass the house, and the president is sald to have not given up hope either: Sperry Has n Substitute. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Representative Sperry of Connecticut, ‘a democratic col- league of Mr. Springer on the banking and currency committee, has proposed another substitute to the Carlisle currency bill. It strikes out all after the enacting clause and provides for an issue of bonds sufficient to retire outstanding_greenbacks and treasury notes under the Sherman act. The bonds are to bear 3 per cent interest and are to be redeemed in gold and are to be of de- nominations of from $10 (o §1,000. They are to run for thirty years, with the right to redeem them after ten years. The secretary of the treasury is empowered to keep the gold reserve up to o minimum of $100,00),000 by selling these bonds. Provision is made for the steady retirement of the greenbacks both from the proceeds of the bonds and from the surplus in the treasury. Mr. Sper- ry's substitute, it fs understood, has execu- tive approval In case the Carlisle bill can- not pass. v Nebraska's North Line Fstablished. WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The survey of the boundary line be- tween the states of Nebraska and South Da- kota has been accepted and approved by the Interior department, and the contracts for surveys of fractional townships will be awarded within a short time.

All_of the Sioux Indian agents are in Washington and will be present at the meeting which is to be held with the sec- retary of the interior next Monday.

DENVER, Jan., 4.—The retiring message of Governor Walte was presented to the Governor Waite's message consisted of about 15,000 words and was perhaps the most exhaustive document ever presented to the general assembly of this state. He called attention first to the fact that in spite of the destruction of the state's silver interests, the credit of Colorado was higher in New York today than ever before, and more miles of railroad were built in this state last year than in any other. He referred to the in- creased production of gold and said: “‘But even if gold should be found in Colorado as abundantly as it has been in California and Australia, it might relieve, but would not atone for the tyranny and oppression which, under both a republican and democratic presi- dent, lave deprived the people of the free coinage of silver—a right which was theirs before the constitution of the United States was adopted and which was never ceded to congress.' The governor recommends that the tenth general assembly appoint a commission to investigate the excess warrant funds com- mited under previous administrations and amounting to nearly $1,000,000, with a view to bringing suits against the guilty parties and their bondsmen. The governor recommends the revision of the state constitution, a law to abolish the pri- vate detective system and a state law for the abolishment of capital punishment. He suggests that the most hardened criminals be compelled to run as candidates for some state office. After a full discussion of state land mat- ters the governor recommends that the state construct reservoirs and canals for irrigation purposes. He condemns the Carey land bill “‘In the interest of private corporations,' and rxcommends the general assembly ‘‘to memorialize congress to cede the arid lands to the several states in which they are situated under conditions that the title to these lands shall forever remain in the state, to be leased in areas not exceeding 160 acres, to actual settlers only.". The governor reviewed at length the city hall troubles and the Cripple Creek miners’ war and defended his action on these oce sions. He renewed his recommendation first made, to the extra session of the Ninth gen- eral assembly, that the legislature should make gold and silver dollars, foreign and domestic, containing not less that 4121 grains of silver, 9-10 fing, legal tender in payment of all debts collectible in Colorado. He de- clared the time had come for aggre: action on the part of the friends of silver and said: “It is a matter of congratulation that at the last election the i{ssues were so clearly defined and so imminent that-the devil claimed his own and the traitors who had been so long masquerading as silver democrats and populists were compelled to throw off their disguise and openly cling to the bosom of the republican party, a party responsible before God and man for the de- struction of our silver product, the deprecla- tion within the last sixteen months of all real and personal property in the state (ex- cept money and money securities) to less than one-half their former value, and the loss of employment to thousands upon thou- sands of silver miners.” The governor declared that during the year the president had sent troops into Colorado and Illinois in violation of the constitution and recommended the assembly “to memorialize congress to solemnly protest against the usurpations of the United States courts and Utifted States marshals, who, with the aid and consent of the United States p judges, have converted the United States court houses into recruiting stations to enlist desperadoes as deputy marshals without any regard to thelr proper qualifications, but simply for military purposes.’ In view of the fact that the sheriffs of Arapahoe and El Paso counties had ‘‘as- sumed ‘ military power In violation of the United States constitution and the state con- stitution and common law,” the governor also recommended the assembly “to provide some legislation to determine whether there are any rights left to the common people of the state which sheriffs and courts are bound to respect In conclusion the governor sald: “A brief two years ago a democratic national adminis- tration arrogantly assumed power in all the departments of the government. Tcday that adminstration lies crushed and bleeding. Its success contained all the elements of its swift destruction, for the money power which con- trolled the party prevented any relief to the people, and so the republican party, controlled by the same relentless power can grant no relief—no substantial prosperity—and would not it it could, Hence it too must give way to the party of progress and reform. *“The people's party of Colorado, though never ju control of the general assembly, and with {is state officers somewhat divided and discordant, during the most exciting and troublous times that have existed in the his- tory of the state, turns over to the incoming adminstration the affairs of the state with a clean bill of health, and we shall hold our dominant party to a like rigid account, “I will not say ‘Hail and farewell.’ That would be too formal. We go, but we return. We will meet you, gentlemen, In two years at ‘Philippt.’ "’ GOVERNOR STONE'S MESSAGE. Urges More Fands for the Missouri Milltia and Kecommends New Laws. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan, 4.—The mes- sage of Governor Stone was read before the legislature today. Governor Stone asks among other things for an increased appropriation for the sup- port of the national guards. In this con- nection he says: “The maintenance of a fairly well equipped militia is not only in conformity o our theory of government, but it is a positive necessily. The presence of an adequate and officient force of this kind removes all excuse for the employment of the regular army In purely domestic affairs. The theory of our government contemplates that our chief reliance for a military force shall be upon the militia, which is 4 national as well as a state organization. ~ The present torce is not large, although, I think, large enough to meet any probable contingency.” He reviewed the general affairs of the state showing them to be in good condition, not- withstanding the fact that from a business point of view the past two years have been characterized by the most trying circum- stances, among which he mentions the finan- cial situation, the Coxey movement, the coal and railroad strikes. Of the railroad strike Governor Stone says: “Durlng the railroad war, while both the militia and the regular army were galloping over many of our nelghboring states, while battles were being fought, property menaced and men slain, with excitement intense and tumult universal, no instance of disorder oc- curred In this state of sufficient magnitude {o attract more than a passing notice. Many thousands of men abandoned their posts, and for a few days several rallroads were more or less embarrassed because of this local con- dition; but it 15 @ well known fact that the railroads of Missour! were far more affected by what occurred without than within the state, The peace of the great state was scarcely broken. Throughout this entire con- flict no instance of disorder occurred which could not be easily controlled by the local constabulary. There was never a time when there was any real need for outside assist- ance." He recommends among other things the establishment of a board of pardons and in- spection; the establishment of agencies and wmeans for properly advertising the resources of Missouri with a view to inducing immi- gration; the cession to the United States of certain lands (0 be used by the general gov- | ernment In connection with the improvement of the Osage river and a movement Lo se- cure, Iu_connection with other state assem- blies, uniformity of legislation e e Exteusion of the Olvil Service.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.—A special cablegram to the Post from Rome The expected on- cyclical from Pope ddressed to the archbishops and bishops of the United States, Is now ready and will be transmitted through tho usual channels in a few days. It treats principally of the authority and powers of the apostolic delegate, Mgr. Satolli, who Is confirmed and strengthened in his position, The letter‘is certain to cause a profound sen- sation In eccleslastical circles in the United ates, similar (o that excited last year In France by Leo's recommendation to the Cath- olic leaders of the country, in which he urged them to loyally accept the republic and to no longer waste their endeavors and their forces by standing aloof and striving for the impossible, 1. e, the return and the restoration of the royalists to power. In the present important encyclical Pope Ieo cons firms the friendly disposition previously man- ifested toward a republican form of govern- ment, demonstrating anew that the church is free to accept and show sympathy with pop- ular institutions not inherently hostile to Christian principles. In detail the encyclical enlarges to the fullest extent the power and Jjurlsdiction of the apostolic delegate, thus conferring on Mgr. Satolli almost plenary authority. All matters of internal and local controversy af- fecting the church in the United States shall no longer be under the Jurisdiction of the courts of the propaganda, but will be heard and disposed of in the delegate's tribunal, which hecomes, in fact, an American ec- clesiastical court, This is a further and most important recognition of home rule in the church, and will go far to do away with the Jealousy of Rame and Roman influence, which has hitherto prevailed in certain quarters, within and without the church. The encye- lical In language and spirit breathes an ar- dent affection for the people and institutions of the United Siates, and Is not sparing In expressions of respect and admiration for tha pepular form and democratic spirit of our government. From this forecast of the let- ter it Is casy to see that it will be recelved with unusual favor in the United States by all classes, adding a new and Important tes- timony to the justly earned title of Leo XIIL, the pope of the people. The encyc- lical concludes by expressing the warmest confidence and in_giving the fullest approval to the course of Mgr.
