THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1896. ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LED Xl Cardinal Gibbons Gives an Abstract to the Press. OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. “Reunion of All the Christian Churches ” Isthe Text of the Letter. A REPLY T0 MR. GLADSTONE. The Document Is Addressed to All Bishops in Communion With the Holy See. Gibbo1s gave to the press this evening a copy of the summary of Pope Leo’s en- letter on the reunion of all the Cnrstian churches. His Holiness evi- dertly had in mind the recent letter of Hon. William E. Gladstone, the English statesman and churchman, and the letter may be considered a reply thereto. His Eminence received the advance sheets of this very important document on Saturday, and personally directed its translation. The letter, at the Pope’s Te- quest, will be given publicity th.oughout Europe and America to-morrow. The encyclical is addressed by his Holi- ness. Pope Leo XIII, to all Bishops in communion with the Holy See. The ab- stract follows: The Holy Father, intent upon the work of bringing all to the one fold of Christ, con- siders that it woula conduce to that end were be to set before the pcoples of the Christian world the idesl and exemplar of the church as divinely constituted, to which church all are bound by God's command to belong. In accordance with his usual providence, God makes use of human instruments to effect the sanctification and elevation of men. To his end not only did he take upon himself human nature, but in order to perpetuate his mission the Son of God chose aposties and i s whom he had trained that they might faithfuliy hand down his teachings and commands to those who desired the blessings he had purchased for mankind by his death. In commanding “the apostles and their suc- cessors to the end of time to teach and rule the nations, he ordered the nations to accept and obey their authority. In Scripture the chur(h is called & “body,” and the body of Christ. Itis visible as being a living and organized society and isanimated by the invisible vital principie of supernat- life. Those, efore, who either deny that Christ’s chureh is & visible body or refuse to allow that it has “the perennial communi- cation of the gifts of divine grace” are equally “in a grievous and pernicious error.” The “‘connection and union of both elements is as absolutely necessary to the true church as the intimate union of the soul and body is to as this is the essential church, according to God’s leo dotaemined that it last ¢l the —this it must possess at the present obviously of the first importance to de- termine what Christ wished his church to be and what in fact he made it. According to this criterion it is the unity of the Christian church which must necessarily be considered, for it is certain that “he who founded it wished it to be one.” The mission of Christ was to save “not some nations or peoples only, but the whole human race, without distinction of time or place.” Hence, as the mission of his church was to hand down through every age the blessing of this salvation by the will of its founder, it is necessary that this church should be one in all lands and at all times. “A church which should embrace all men, everywhere and at all times, was clearly fore- told by the prophet Isaiah and was typified in our Lord’s mystical body—a body united to himself as head; a mystical body, the members of which if separated one from the other can- not be united with one and the same heed,” and so another bead like the Christ is another Christ and must be invented, if besides the one church, which is his body, men wish to set up another. Furthermore, “He who made thisone church also gave it unity; that is, he made it such that all who are to belong to it must be united by the closest bonds s0 as to form one society, one kingdom, one body.” And he willed that this unity among his followers should be so perfect “that it might in some measure shadow forth the union between himself and his father.” As a necessary consequence, in his divine wisdom, he ordained in his church umty of faith—a virtue which is tke first of those bonds which unite man to God and whence we re- ceive the nameoi the faithful. The nature of this unity of faith must and can be ascertained from the commands and teachings of Christ himself. The mere possession of the Scrip- tures is not sufficient to insure unity of belief, “not merely because of the nature of the doc- trine itself and the mysteries it invoives, but also because of the divergent tendencies of the human mind and the disturbing element of conflicting passions.” *“It was necessary that there should be an- other prineiple” to insure union of minds in the Christian church, and it is consequently proper to inquire which of the many means by which Christ our Lord could have secured this unity he in fact adopted. It is the duty of all followers of Christ not merely to accept his doctrines generally, “but to assent with their entire mind to all and every point of it, since it is unlawful to with- hoid faith from God, even in regard to the one single point.” Christ endowed his apostles with authority like to his own and promised that the spirit of truth should direct-them and remain with them forever, and because of this commission “jt is no more allowable to repudiate one iota of the apostles’ teaching than to reject any point of the doctrine of Christ himself.” This apostolic mission was intended for the salvation of the whole human race, ard conse- quently must last to the end of time. The magisterium instituted by Christ in his church was by God’s will perpetuated in the successors appointed by the apostles, and in like manner the duty of accepting and professing all that is thus taught 1s aiso “perpetual and immu- table.” There ismothing which the church founded on those principles he has been more careful to guard than the integrity of the faith. The fathers of the church are unanimons in con- sidering s outstde the Catholic communion any one who in the least degree deviates from even one point of the docirine roposed by the authoritative meagisterium of the church. Wherefore Christ instituted in the church a living suthoritative and lasting magisterium. He willed and commanded under the gravest penalties that its teachings should be received asif they were his own. As often, therefore, as it is declared on the authority of this teach- ing that this or that is contained in the de- posit of divine revelation, it must be believed by everyone as true. The very nature of divine faith makes it im- possible that we can reject even one point of direct teaching, as this is practically rejecting the authority of God himself. Christ commanded the men, present and future, to follow him as their leader and Bavior, and thus, not merely as individuals, but as forming & societly organized and united n mind, he established in the church all those principles which necessarily tend to make organized human societies and through which they attain the perfection to each; that in ihe church founded by Christ ‘‘all who wished to be the sons of God by adoption might attain to perfection demanded by their high calling and might obtain salvation.” The church is “man’s guide to whatever per- tains to heaven. This is the office appointed toit by God: That it may watch over and may order all that concerns religion and msy without iet or hinderance exercise according to its judgment its charge over christianity. Wherefore they Who pretend that the church has any wish to interfere in civil matters or to infringe upon the rights of the state either know it not or wickedly calumniate it.” Besides being the guardian of faith, the church must afford the means of obtaining the salvation purchased by Christ. The dis- pensation of the divine mysteries was not granted by God indiscriminately to &li Chris- tians, but the Apostles and their successors, and, 1n this way, according to God’s provi- dence, duly constituted society ‘‘was formed outof the divided multitudes of peoples—one in faith, onein end, one in the participation of the means adapted to the attainment of the end, and one a subject to one and the same | suthority.” “As no true and perfect human society can be conceived which 1s not governed by some supreme authority,” so Christ of necessity gave to his church a supreme authority to which all Christians must be obedient. For the preservation of unity there must be unity of government jure divino,and men may be placed outside the one fold by schism as well as by heresy. The nature of this supreme authority can be ascertained from the positive and evident will of Christ. As he willed that his kingdom should be visible, Christ was obliged to desig- nate a vice-gerent on earth in the person of St. Peter. He also determined that the authority given to him for the salvation of mankind in perpetuity should be inherited by St. Peter’s successors. It cannot be doubted from the words ot Holy Writ that the church by the will of God rests on St. Peter as a building on its foundation. St. Peter could not fulfill this duty ‘‘without the power of commanding, forbidding, judg- ing, which is properly called jurisdiction.” It by the power of jurisdiction that nations and commonwealths are held together. A primacy of honor and the shadowy right of giving advice and admonition, which is called direction, could never be unity or strength to any society of men. The metaphorical expressions of “the keys” and of “binding and loosing” indicate the power of making laws, of judging and punish- ing—a power which our Lord declares to be of such amplitude and force “that God would ratify whatever is decreed by it.” Thus the power of St. Peter is “supreme and absolutely independent, so that having no other power on earth as its superior, it em- braces the whole church and all things com- mitted to the church.” As the governing authority belongs to the constitution and formation of the church as the very principle of unity and stability, it was clearly intended to pass to St. Peter's successors from ome to another. Consequently the Pontiffs who suc- ceed him in the Roman episcopafe reserve the supreme power in the church jure divino, and this is declared fully by general councils and is acknowledged by the consent of antiquity. But though the authority of 8t. Peter and his successors is plenary and supreme, it is not to be regarded as the only authority. The Bishops, who are the successors of the Apostles, “inherit their ordinary power,” and *‘the epis- copal order necessarily belopgs to the essential constitution of the church.” They are con- sequently not to be regarded as mere vicars of the Roman Pontiffs, since “they exercise a power which is really their own, and are most truly called the ordinary pastors of the people over whom they rule.” For the preservation of unity in the Chris- tian church, it is above all things necessary that there should be union between the Roman Pontiff, the one successor of St. Peter, and the Bishops, the many successors of the apostolic college. “It is pecessary to bear in mind that no prerogative was conferred on the Apostles in which St. Peter did not participate, but that many were bestowed upon St. Peter epart from the Aposties.” “He alone was designated by Christ as the foundation of his church. To him he gave the power of forgiving and retaining, and to him slone was given the authority to teed.” From this it follows “that Bishops are de- prived of the right and power of ruling if they deliberately secede from Peter and his suc- cessors, because by this secession they are sep- arated from the foundation upon which the whole edifice rests.” As the divine founder of the church decreed that his church should be ome in faith, in government and communion, so he chose Peter and his successors as the prineiple, and, as it were, the center of this unity. ‘“The episco- pal order is rightly judged to be in com- munion with Peter as Christ commanded, if it is subject to and obeys Peter; otherwise it necessarily becomes & lawless and disorderly crowd.” For the due preservation of unity of the faith it is not sufficient ““that the head should have peen charged merely with the-office of superintendent or should have been invested solely with the power of direction, but it is absolutely necessary that he should have re- ceived real and sovereign authority, which the whole community is bound to obey.” It is opposed to the truth and isin evident contradiction with the divine constitution of tiie church to hold that while each Bishop is individually bound to obey the authority of the Roman Pontiffs, the iBshops, taken collect- ively, are not so bound. Forifis the nature and essence of & foundation to support the unity of the whole edifice and to give stability to it rather than to each component part. It was through “the strength and solidity of the foundation” that Christ promised that the gates of hell should not prevail azainst his church—a promise to be understood of the church asa whole, and not of any certain por- tions of it. Moreover, he who is set over the flock must have authority not only over the sheep dis- persed throughout the church, but also when they are assembled together. Do all the sheep gathered together rule and guide the shep- herd? Do the successors of the Apostles as- sembled together constitute the foundation on which the successor of St. Peter rests, in order to derive therefrom strength ana stability ? The Popes have ever unquestionably exer- cised the office of ratifying or rejecting the de- crees of councils. ‘“Leo the Great rescinded the acts of the Conciliabulum of Ephesus. Damascus rejected those of Rimini and Adrian 1 those of Constantinople. The twenty-eighth canon of the Council of Chalcedon, by the very fact that it lacks the assent and approval of the Apostolic See,is admitted by all to be worthless.” Holy Writ attests that the keys of the King- dom ot Heaven were given to Peter alone and that the promise of binding and loosing was granted to the Apostles and to Peter, but there is nothing to show that the Apostles received supreme power without Peter or against Peter. Such power they certainly did not receive from Jesus Christ; wherefore, in the decree of the Vatican Council as to the nature and authority of the primacy of the Roman Pontiff no newly conceived opinion is set forth, but the vener- able and constant belief of all ages. RELIGI Leading Liberals of Montreal Will Send @ Protest to Rome. MONTREAL, Queskc, June 29.—Leading Liberals of this province contemplate sending a delegate to Rome with a view to having a decision from the Vatican re- garding clerical influence in this country. Friends of the Hon. Mr. Laurier declare that the action of Monsignor Lafleche and other members of the Roman Catholic clergy during the recent electoral cam- paign rendersan appeal to Rome at the present time an absolute necessity. LAr o May Force an Apology. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.—Ad- ministration officials here are discussing the probability of forcing an apology from the United States of Colombia for the ont- rage committed on the schooner George R. Whitford of New York. If necessary a naval demonstration will be made. It is possible also that Secretary Olney may de- mand an indemnity for the owners of the ‘Whitford because of her detention. So far the Bogota Government has given no sign as to what its action will be. N IN POLITICS. ITHE PITTSTON MINE HORROR Not Less Than Seventy Men Entombed in the Deadly Pit. HOPING AGAINST HOPE. Families and Friends of the Victims Haunt the Mouth of the Shaft. CAVES OCCUR CONTINUOUSLY. Rescuers Say It Will Be Impossible to Ever Recover Any of the Bodies. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 29.—The situation at the scene of the Pittston mine The company is making every possible effort to reach the victims, but there is very little hope that any of them wil! be’ recovered alive. Tt is not yet possible to give the exact number of persons in the pit, but it 1s certain that there are not less than seventy men entombed, leaving about forty-eight widows and 125 orphans. The Board of Trade of Pittston to-day appropriated $1000 for the immediate wants of the bereft families, and desires through the United Press to appeal to the charitably disposed at home and abroad for such aid as they may be pleased to contribute to this very worthy object. Contributions may be forwarded to Mr. Thomas Mangan, treasurer of the Board of Trade of Pitts- ton, Pa. The frienda and relatives of the en- tombed men haunted to-day and to-night the head of the shaft, hoping against hope that some of the rescuing party may bring up a word of cheer. But as one gang after another reached the surface and answered the eager questions with only a sad shake of the head despair was again shown upon the countenances of the unhappy ones. The rescuing party that went into the shaft this morning came up at 6 o’clock this evening, and as they jumped from the carriage the foreman was heard to say, *‘No hope of rescue as yet.” Later on it was learned that the situa- tion inside is changing almost hourly, owing to the continuous caving or ‘‘squeez- 1ng.” and on this account nothing what- ever can be told as to when the men can be reached. The rescuing party to-night were work- ing their way to the point where they wished to start digging to-morrow morn- ing, but at midnight the props and pillars in the shaft are being forced out of place and no progress can be made until after this difficulty can be averted. Monster pumps were lowered and will be set as nearas possible to the scene of death, but there is no telling what the pumps will be able to do. Men are at work drilling a hole through the Clear Spring colliery into the Twin Shaft workings. The men started on Sun- day to cut a hole through large enough to admit a man’s body, but the officials feared the water and gas in the Twin Shaft would rush into the Clear Spring and cause disaster to those workings also, so it was decided to abandon the work of making so large a hole and to merely drill a small bore-hole through the eighty feet of coal for the double purpose of finding out the condition of the Twin Shaft workings as to water and gas and with the idea of com- municating with the men if they, or any of them, should chance to be on the oppo- site side of the cave, next to the Clear Spring’s partition, Prominent mine officials from all parts of the country were on the scene to-day discussing the sad disaster from every standpoint. A conference was held during the day at which reports were made to the effect that the fall is the largest ever known to any miner in this valley, and that the cave is still going on. Among the officials who were present were: Mine-Inspector Blow- itt of Scranton; Anthony Horn, superin- tendent of the Pennsylvania Coal Com- pany, Pitiston; Superintendent Davis of the Dodson Coal Company of Plymouth; H. H. Ashley, general manager of the Parish Coal Company, Wilkesbarre; J. L. Cake, manager of the Clear Spring Coal Company, West Pittston, and J. Bennett Smith, practical engineer of the Hazard ‘Works, Wilkesbarre. Most of them have come to the conclusion that the bodies will never be reached. ‘Water has been running into the shaft since yesterday, and to-day it has in- creased in volume. Both the Lackawanna and Susquehanna rivers run in close prox- 1mity to the Twin Shaft. From the sur- face to the point where the rock begins there is at least 145 feet of what is known as river wash. From this point down to the bottom, or the level where the men are, there were previous to the fall 280 feet of rock. Aslong as this remained intact there was perhaps more leakage through the crevice into the mine than in mines which are not in such close proximity to large bodies of water. When the fall oc- curred the 280 feet of rock referred to must have been shattered, allowing the water to pour into the mine in large quantities un- til the open space below was all filled. The very natural conclusion of this is that if the victims did not lose their lives under the fail they came to their death by drowning. If this be true, and there is no reason to doubt that it is, it will be im- possible to remove the bodies of the vic- tims from the mine. ‘When it became known to-night that it was probable the men would never be found the excitement was renewed. The rescuing party that came out of the shaft at 10 o'clock reported the situation worse than at any time to-day. The workings are crushed nearer the foot of the shaft and the outlook is very sorrow- ful. The night shift of rescuers were driven back by the roof caving in and closing up the work that had been accom- plished during the afternoon. It is now feared that the opening or entrance to the Twin Shaft may be closed before the next twenty-four hours. More props were lowered into the to-night, which will be placed around the iliars io ald them in keeping the surface m caving in near the foot. ‘What the night will bring forth no liv- ing soul can tell. Hangea to an Oak 1Iree. NEW ORLEANS, La., June 29.—Yester- disaster remains practically unchanged. | day morning Frederick Post was found hanging to a large oak tree on a planta- tion near the boundary line between St. Charles and Jefferson parishes, just above New Orleans. He had been lynched last night by a mob. Post had a fight a few days ago at the store of Paul Felix, Mayor of Kenner, with one of Felix’s clerks. He was arrested and charged with breach of the peace and assault and battery. He was locked up in the Kenner jail. It is said that the doors of the jail were not properly fastened, so that the mob had no aifficulty in breaking into it and taking out Post and lynching him. —-— COAST DEFENSE WORK. Money Available and Operations to Be Commenced at Onee. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.—The work of constructing the coast defenses authorized by Congress will begin with the fiscal year, July. Preliminary ar- rangements for carrying out the projects contemplated have been made by General Craighill, the chief of engineers, and one- half of the $5,000,000 available under the law will be expended immediately under plans already approved. The remaining amount will be expended by contract. All important points along the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico from Port- land, Maine, to Galveston, Texas, and on the Pacific Coast from Puget Sound and the mouth of the Columbia River and San Diego, Cal., will be fortified under the present arrangement. As soon as these projects are under way, bids for the work to be done by contract will be called for. i GROWING DESPERATE. Cleveland Strikers Beat Men Who Keturn to Work. CLEVELAND, OHio, June 20.—The strike at the Brown Hoisting Company’s works, involving 500 men, has been in progress five weeks, and no settlement seems in sight, The strikers are growing desperate and the !ocation of the works is such that the police are unable to do effective work. Every day the few men who have returned to work have to be escorted to and from work by officers or they are set upon and beaten. Martin Schauez, one of the men who returned to work, was set upon s he left the works to- night and beaten so that he will die. h TERRIBLE. EXPLOSIO Three Persons Killed by the Bursting of a Boiler in Texas. The General Manager of the Southern Pacific’s Atl:ntic System Is Badly Injured. HOUSTON, Tex., June 29.—This after- noon the boiler in the office of the Daily Age expirded, killing Engineer Henry Lyons, Miss Mattie Loeb, a stenographer in the office of W. G. Van Vleck, vice- president and general-manager of the Atlantic system of the Southern Pacific Railroad; Edward R. Emory, a telegraph operator in the same office, and seriously injuring Mr. Van Vleck bimself. The force of the explosion carried the entire boiler, which was of 18-horsepower, across & vacant lot, where it struck a building, was deflected upward and crashed into the general office of the | Southern Pacitic system on Franklin | avenue, over 300 feet away. Mr. Van Vieck was dictating to Miss Loeb when the boiler crashed through the brick wall back into the rear of the build- ing, taking everythinz in its way. Miss Loeb was carried nearly twenty feet from her chair and was found afierward buried under a mass of debris. She lived only about twenty minutes. Mr. Van Vleck was carried some distance also, but escaped with serious cuts on the head. In the next office, divided by a thin par- tition, were two telegraph operators, Ed- ward R. Emory and Theodore Grice. The former was struck by the boiler and in- stantly killed, while his companion es- caped practically uninjured. Henry Lyons, the unfortunate engineer, who carelessness probably caused the horror, was blown to pieces. The inmates of the editorial, business and composing rooms of the Daily Age were uninjured, as the force of the explo- sion was all in the opposite direction. The pecuniary damage amounts to about $10,000. —_——— SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF. Ryan Not Authorized to Talk for Consul- General Lee. HAVANA, Cusa, June 29.—Consul-Gen- eral Lee was interviewed to-day in regard to a statement alleged to have been made by Collector Ryan on his return to the United States from his recent trip to Havava. General Lee said: “Mr. Ryan had no authority to speak for me on Cuban mat- ters. 1did not talk to him confidgentially or otherwise on public questions, and never gave him my views on the situation in the island. Whatever he has said or written, is his own opinion, not mine.” JACKSONVILLE, Fra., June 29.—Cap- tain Edward G. Riley, who commanded the steamship Bermuda when she left this port on April 27, on an allaged filibuster- ing expedition to Cuba, was before United States Commissioner Otto to-day ana was placed under $10,000 bonds for appearance on Friday, when he will be given a pre- iminary hearing. —_—— The Flow of Gold to Europe. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 29.—Lazard Freres have withdrawn $300.000 in gold from the sub-treasury for export to Europe to-morrow. J. & W. Seligman & Co. have ordered $350,000 in gold at the sub-treasury for export and paid for it in assay office receipts. The transaction fulfills a special order from Seligman & Co., who in turn are filling an order they received from Ger- many to-day. The withdrawal does not affect the treasury reserve. i Killed in a Mine. DULUTH, Mi~N., June 29.—Word has been received from Ely of an accident at the Pioneer mine whereby three men were killed and two seriously injured. A num- ber of men were on the fourth level when several huondred tons of earth overhead gave way. Victor Erickson, George Hay- cock and Frank Cramer were buried out of sight and probably instantly killed. Two other men were badly hurt. s Executive Clemency Denied. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29.—The President has denied clemency in the case of George N. Thomas, sentenced in June, 1894, to fine and six years in the Cali- fornia State prison for smuggling opium and aiding and abetting the landing of Chinese laborers. —_— Death of Rev. J. F. Ellis. NORFOLK, NEsBR., June 29.—Word was received to-day of the death of Rev. J. F. Ellis, president of Norfolk College, which occurred at Greenwich, Conn., where the doctor had been in search of re- lief from Bright’s disease. The interment will be held here Thursday afternoon. R g Signs of the Times in the West. WABSHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—On July 1 the following Presidential post- offices will be relegated to the fourth class by reason of decrease in receipts: Blue Hill, Nebr.; Culberson, Nebr.; Dewitt, Nebr., and Shelton, Nev. OLYMPICS SCORE THE MULTNOMAKS Portland Athletes Accused of Harsh Treatment to Visitors. CAPTAIN GILL'S PLAINT. Says the Referee Curtly Refused to Entertain a Just Protest. HIS MEN JEERED AND HISSED. He Declares the Northern Atkletes Guilty of Unsportsmanlike Conduct. PORTLAND, Og., June 29.—Charges of unsportsmanship have been made by the Olympics against members of the Mult- nomah club. They affect the whole club, and the opinion of the Olympics in this regard has been shared, more or less, by outsiders to such an extent as to make it impossible to disregard it. The lack of sportsmanship with which the Olympics charge the Multnomahs does not mean a lack of fairness; it means a lack of those finer principles that are not found in the rules of the Amateur Athletic Union, but which are far more important in presery- ing true amateur sport than all the rules. Captain Leonard Gill of the Olympics says: “The Multnomah team won from us Sat- urday because it was a better team. Our team was a weaker team than we should have brought north, and we found a much stronger team here than we expected. We don’t complain about meeting better men, but we do complain of the unsportsman- like manners of the club and people here. When Patterson would come up for his trial in the high jump there were men in the grand stand who guyed him. Then, too, the crowd jeered him when he failed. It's the first time I ever dreamed that it was a disgrace to fail in a manly trial. “After Wand had injured himself, and could not enter the 440-yard race, I was promised permission to substitute another man; but at the last moment we were denied that privileze. In the hurdle race the courses were not properly meas- ured. Our man, Patterson, had he run, would have had from ten to fifteen yards more to go than Morgan. Ido not think Patterson could have won, but he was en- titled to a properly measured course. “After finishing the 220-yard dash, T had to go into my quarters for a rub-down, and as captain of the team had no opportunity of seeing how the courses were arranged. But as soon as I did heard of it I asked for Mr. Glisan, the referee, and protested to him. He declined to consider my protest, saying that it was not made in the proper way. Did you ever hear of such a thing?” ON THE LASTERN TRACKS. Marguerite Wins the Hopeful Stake in Straight Heats. CHICAGO.
