from the United States without having succeeded in his mission The object of his journey across the Atlantic was to recover bis son young Count George who landed in Bos ton last autumn accompanied by an actress named Boreska Frank the star of one ot the fourth rate theaters of Budapest According to the statements of the old Count the woman is considerably older than his son and forms part of a gang of Vienna usurers whose sole object is to bleed the family of the young man The latter has been in their power for more than a year and it was only when toward last snruaier he was on the point of making a full confession to his father of his troubles and appealing to him to save him from their clutches that the gang fearing to lose their prey caused Boreska to induce him to elope with her to America As soon as tho Count became aware of his sons flight be made inquiries at Vienna and at Buda Pesth which brought to light the entire conspiracy At once he set to work to jfct into communication with the lad for trje purpose of warning him of his peril With this object in view he dispatched a letter to tbe Austro Hungarian legation at Washington containing the following message for his son That you should have fled from your home Lean understand I did the same thing when I was your age with tbe difference that the object of my flight was to join our army on the battlefield I am ouiy sorry that you should have pained your mother and sister so deeply Take care of your health With open arms you are awaited by your affectionate father Although copies of this message were forwarded to each of the Austrian Con sustes in the States yet owing to the arVices of the gang who were determined at all costs to prevent a reconciliation it failed to reach the youug Count In order to discourage them the father in January published an announcement that he would decline to pay any debts contracted by his son In February he received news that his son had married the actress and he immediately set out eaterry tne7TofB eTJnitecrStatei attended by a suite of a dozen retainers including a doctor and a secretary On reaching New York the Count began his search for his son visiting in turn Boston Philadelphia Washington Chicago San Francisco Baltimore Atlanta and New Orleans At the latter place all trace of the couple was lost and it is unknown whether they have betaken themselves to Mexico or Australia The Count has accordingly returned home stopping on his way in London where he invoked the influence of his former guest the Prince of Wales with the Australian authorities through whom he hopes to be able to communicate with his son Tbe object of the gang in keeping father and son apart will be more easily appreciated when it is Stated that the young Count is an only son and as such is legally entitled on the death of his father to 3t least one half of the lattefs vast fortune According to the Hungarian laws he cannot be disinherited and is therefore being persuaded by the gang to discount his future inheritance at ruinous rates leases on every magnetic bed this tide of Michigan The first effort was made at Ogden whet he has a bed of ore a mile long and

the work among im migrants in America has attracted great attention A reporter to day called upon 3 the Archbishop and asked jor a statement regarding the matter After indorsing the truth of the dispatches from Rome the Archbishop said SofarasIr Cahensley the bearer of the Lucerne petition and decrees to the Vatican and his friends and colaborers are concerned they have well defined their object in view and they mean to work tor it With might and main It Is to harness the church in America into the service of the recently arrived immigrants from Germany the other Catholic interests in 3 the country feeing apparently looked upon as quite secondary Their demands are based on the sup position that the bishops and priests of America are Irish and neglect theGer mans We have to note here the actual or assumed ignorance of Cahensley as to the condition of the German speaking Catholics of America In asserting tbat they are neglected he does a most positive injustice to the bishops of tbe country whose constant efforts have been to pro vide all Catholics of foreign tongues with priests of their own nationality There is a singular malice too in his attempt to represent the Catholic Church in America as Irish As a matter of fact the bishops born in Ireland axe few In tbe American hierarchy and those few have spentTiearly alltheir lives in America and are thoroughly identified with the country and its institutions The bishops of America are in heart and soul Americans They have no more idea of making the church Irish than they hare of allowing it to be made German The mass of oar Catholics to day have been born in America and whether their fathers were Irish or German they ara Americans and tterresent with indigna tion any effort to class them Into Irish or German or foreigners of any shape What is the most strange feature in this whole Lucerne movement is the impudence of men in undertaking to meddle under any pretext in the Catholic affairs of America This is simply unpardonable and all American Catholics will treasure up the affront for future action We acknowledge the Tope of Rome as our chieftain in spiritual matters and we are glad to receive directions from him Bat tho men in Germany or Switzerland Or Ireland must mind their own business and stili as to ours Koris this the most irritating fact in the movement For the last fire or six years there has been a determined effort on the part of certain foreign born CatholicsCatholics in America priests and laymen to obtain control of Catholic matters in America The Poles in the West French Canadians in the Easr ana Germans east and west Jiave been at work in this direction The Germans sent in 18S6 a representative tqEomS to obtain pro German legislation They hare since formed to Cieties notably the Deutsch Amerikan iscfier Priester Vereinfor this same purpose I am quite sure I am right when bring home lo this verein the whole prompting of the Lucerne proceedings This foreign movement in America is it must be welt understood confined to a comparatively small number The great mass of German speaking Catholics laymen and priests are totally opposed to ail plansand intrigues
