Gough, A.P.W. (?):
San Francisco, (California)
to William (J.) Onahan:
(Chicago, Illinois)
In discussing the question of the Temporal Power of the Pope with a friend, Daniel McCann, Gough asks why Roman Catholics, powerful as they are, can't make those who call Catholics "Romanists", and those "Italian and French robbers" who call them "the Catholic party" understand that they are both Roman and Catholic, that it was the Fathers of the Church that made Rome the center of Christendom. Had there been the expected manhood among the large majority of French Catholics, the small number of butchers could not have controlled the first Revolution, and had the Catholics maintained their right since McMahon's retirement, they could not have been trampled as they were by Free Masons and know-nothings. Catholics could have prevented England's "offer" to provide a living for the last and retired Pope. Why did not the Know Nothing threat to tear down the Catholic Cathedral of New York succeed? Because Archbishop John Hughes took the correct method to prevent it. It is high time to teach all non-Catholics that, Roman Catholics are one, and Roman, and as one in securing the independence of the Pope; that Catholics of the world will not permit the State to interfere with their rights; that any destruction to Catholic property must be paid for; and that the non-Catholic world can no longer have any excuse for (not) knowing all about Catholic doctrine. He calls for a Universal Catholic Union to restore the Temporal power of the Pope.

He is off for his station in Idaho on March 3 or tomorrow. He is happy that the weather did not prevent Robert's flag raising. Willie (William H. Seton) was delayed in Balt(imore) by the weather. If Harry can get out to the college before leaving he will deliver Robert's message to Father (Edward F.X.) Sweeney. He received a letter from Will(iam Seton) who expects to go to Washington this month. It seems as if everyone with the time will go to Washington next Saturday. Willie tells him that Bob Miles' sons are real nice boys. Bart Shub (?) has a son at the Mountain; he arrived from California last week. Willie has promised to study hard and reflect credit on their name at Seton Hall.

Pye, R( ) V.:
Santa Margarita Crossing, Texas
to (William J.) Onahan:

Since Pye has received no reply from Onahan, he presumes that his first letter is either lost or unanswered. He had sent his narrative, supported by affadavit and extensive scientific evidence. He had hoped that this would be made known by Onahan, and that this evidence would relieve him from prison, and relieve the people who are subjected to the great power which is treated by his evidence and that the conspiracy may be brought to light and placed in the hands of the law. He has proven that telegraphy can be carried on "at long distances, absolutely without wires or cables" through the atmosphere. He has written to Thomas A. Edison and specifications sent to him have been filed at the patent office at Washington. He goes into extensive detail on his efforts and experiences, refutes Julian Hawthorne's "My Supernatural Autobiography," and asks the Columbian Catholic Congress to pursue inquiry into the subject, and take the position supported by the presumption of the law, and to prevent "his enemies" to hold on to their secret, uncontrolled by the authorities and to keep him in prison until they acquire strength to turn their power loose.
P.S. In his former letter were sent some communications to authorities and experts, including various high government offices and Catholic University.

He has been waiting for good news to write to Ford, but there is nothing definite yet. Monsignor (Denis J.) O'Connell was out of town when he arrived but Father (Frederick Z.) Rooker took him to see Melluzzi. Dossert played the Mass composition for him; he said it was a masterpiece but the soprano too high for St. Peter's choir. Melluzzi will have to consult Monsignor Bisletti before permission for Dossert to direct will be given. O'Connell returned and regards the "Herald" article as untimely and unwise having given Dossert's enemies a chance to work against him in Rome. The statement regarding the Pope's presence was untrue. Yesterday O'Connel introduced him to Baroness D'Eichthal who has great influence with the general of the Pope's Palaces and she may see him through. Monsignor (Placide Louis) Chappele is at the American College and it is reported he has changed sides on the ecclesiastical question. He heard vespers at St. Peter's and the music was very poor. Ford should tell (A.G.) Oakley in Jersey City that Dossert will arrange matters when he returns. The custom in Rome is to simply block one's path if objections have been made rather than to repeat the objections.

Monsignor (Denis J.) O'Connell has enlisted the interest of Countess (Kinsky) and his Mass composition will be given a week after Easter. He came to Rome too late to make arrangements for an Easter Mass; Easter rehersals are too arduous to include another more difficult rendition, and he does not have enough cash to overcome these difficulties. He will try to send a cable to the press explaining the postponement. The uncertainty has made him five years older; he would not have come to Rome if Ford's name and paper had not been connected in such a way that failure would injure them. He quotes what Melluzzi told the countess of the composition.

The final one is exactly what Stoddard went through after leaving Notre Dame, and lay at death's door in the Cleary House in Covington, Kentucky. Dr. ( ) Kearns must have kept him under morphine or opium. Stoddard hopes to send his Boston Book in a few days.

to (Austin E. Ford:

Monisgnor (Denis J.) O'Connell told him that his name must not be in the papers until the Mass is sung which will probably be the second Sunday after Easter. By postponing the rendition, Dossert will get the finest voices from all the Roman choirs. There has been opposition to Dossert from someone who knows the ropes in Rome. Countess Kinsky has his case in hand and she is pushing it with the energy which only a woman of her standing would be allowed.

to (Austin E.) Ford:
(New York, New York)
He will send a cable to try to keep his name out of the papers until the Mass is rendered; Monsignor (Denis J.) O'Connell orders it, and he must have good reason. What is lost by the postponement is gained by securing better artists to assist in the rendition. He rewrote all the parts in old clefs for the singers. Meluzzi obtained the finest male soprano from St. John Lateran; others from the Sistine Chapel will take part. The St. Peter's choir would find it impossible to sing his high notes. Monsignor O'Connell interested the Countess Kinsky of Austria and she will invite all the nobles to hear the Mass. He will write the full particulars so that Ford can give them to the New York "Herald." He judges that the mischief maker is an elderly lady in Rome (Ella B. Edes?) whom Ford knows and loves much. She is no doubt working under orders, but also with a love for her task which is born of her esteem of the New York (Freeman)'s Journal. Mum's the word and after April 16th free speech.

(New York, New York)
In the production of the Jubilee Mass they will have the best singers from the Lateran Cathedral and Sistine Chapel, as well as St. Peter's. There will be only 20 voices, but these Italians will produce more volume than 100 New Yorkers. When he sent the telegram he meant to keep the press silent about the production and the postponement to throw the opponents off guard. He will try to get his friend Ezikiel, the sculptor, to invite the Queen, and have her present. (P.L.) Connellan is a very nice fellow and is doing all he can for Dossert; he is on the right side, the Pope's side in the present controversy. Bishop (Winand M.) Wigger's protest against Archbishop (Francis) Satolli creates a good laugh in Rome; it looks blue for the kickers. Dossert reviews his troubles over having his Mass rendered; his musical ability answered all objections.

He is glad that Vannutelli received all his former letters except the one about his promotion to Secretary of Apostolic Briefs. He sees by the papers that His Holiness has appointed Vannutelli Archbishop of Bologna. (Gillow) does not know whether to congratulate Vannutelli or not. (Gillow) has had nine months of hard work in getting ready for the Provincial Council and discussing the various points with the suffragans, council members and consultors. It is a big task to replace the celebrated Third Council of Mexico. The manuscript is 450 pages long and he hopes it will serve as a basis for reform of the Mexican Church. They tell him that Vannutelli's brother, (Cardinal Vincenzo) Vannutelli is at the Sacred Congregation of the Council; (Gillow) places his hopes in him. The work of the Council began favorably; all three suffragans were very deferential to him. To be provided for are the Chapters, morality and education of the clergy, etc. To remedy the lamented evils all the bishops have signed a separate letter begging the Holy See to state the most suitable reforms. (Gillow) is sending two photographs; one of the pontificals and the other of the members of the Council. He is anxious to know if Vannutelli is happy at Bologna.

Wigger, Bishop W(inand) M(ichael):
South Orange, New Jersey
to Archbishop (Michael Augustine) Corrigan:
New York, (New York)
Wigger is glad to learn that things are brightening for their Catholic schools. When Msgr. (Francis) Satolli spoke to Wigger about the Bayonne matter, he stated Wigger was partial to German priests and was too strict with parents who sent their children to public schools where there were parochial schools. Wigger answered that if parents had good reasons, they could send their children to public schools. If the reasons were not satisfactory, they must send the children to Catholic schools. If the parents would not obey they would be unworthy of absolution. Satolli felt that the worthiness of such persons to receive absolution should be left up to the priest in the confessional. About two weeks later, Wigger saw an article in the New York Tribune in which some "dear and true" friends of the University stated falsely that Wigger had been compelled to revoke an order that was being executed in the diocese of Newark. The article went on to say that Wigger had not yet done anything about the matter. Wigger sent this portion of the article to Satolli and protested against such charges. Wigger said he had intended to speak to the clergy about the matter of schools on April 12 and Satolli was satisfied with this. A week after, however, he sent another letter in which he asked Wigger to issue the circular as Easter was coming in fast. Wigger got into difficulty about the letter he sent to Fathers (Thomas M.) Killeen and (William) Ahne, a translation of which he sent to Satolli. Satolli wrote Wigger the letter, and sent copies to Ahne and Killeen, in which he was displeased that Wigger did not agree with the conditions agreed upon. Wigger sent Satolli a copy of the circular he proposed to issue. He encloses a copy for (Corrigan:no enclosure). Wigger never thought six months ago that he would ever issue such a circular.
