Syrian Patriarch of Antioch Given Audience. Sunday, 19th current, the Holy Father gave audience in the hall cf the throne, to the Syrian patriarch of Antloch, together with the archbishop of Damascus, the bishop of i Jaffa, the chorepiscopus procurator general of the patriarchate of the same rite, various Syrian notables, the consul general of Tur key, in Rome, in full official costume, the rectors and alumni of the several Oriental colleges in the Eternal City and other dis i tingulshed followers of the diverse Eastern rites, all presented by the secretary of the S. Congregation of Propaganda for Oriental Af 1 fairs; a Latin address read by the patriarch was answered by his holiness in like language; humorous and costly gifts, consisting of inlaid furniture, silken cushions richly wrought, table covers heavily embroidered lu gold, pearls and precious gems, oriental tapestries and carpets, magnificently bound albums containing addresses in all Eastern tongues, together with specimens of ancient Oriental codices Issued from the patriarchal I press of the Seminary of Carte in Libanus. were offered in jubilee homage to the sovereign pontiff. The presence in the papal cortege of the cardinal archbishop of Bordeaux, with his suite was a source of gratification to the Syrian patriarch and prelates, rejoicing thus to see represented at their solemn reception the French nation, protectress of the Christians in the East.

In this connection it is rather Interesting to note the statement of the usually well informed and most reliable Roman correspondent of the Paris Figaro, to the effect that when Leo XIII announced to Cardinal Gotti that he had selected him to succeed the Cardinal Ledochowski, as prefect of propaganda, he added. "I desire that daily relations with the French embassy to the Vatican be resumed in accordance with normal principles." Cardinal Gotti, at first uncertain as to the true bearing of the papal words, quickly discovered their real meaning. It appears that some ten years since, under the then titular Count Lel'ebvre i Behalne. the French embassy accredited to the Holy See had entirely ceased nil relations with the S. Congregation of Propa ganda ride.

ur orotectoratP over iji me iast, relations between France and the Propaganda were constant and multiple. Whs.t was then done? The Vatican served as Intermediary, passing from one hand to the other written communications. This state of things continued until the death of Cardinal Ledochowski. Now that Cardinal Gct ti holds the government of the S. Congregation of Propaganda relations have anew become normal.

wherein his holiness will epitomize all that he has done for the interests of the church, which document is destined as a species of last will and testament, bequeathed to his successor by Leo XIII. Meanwhile, the "Paese" of Perugia has recently been the first to give publicity to a new poem, the "Carmen Saeculare," of Leo XIII, with the addenda and variants adjoined thereto by the august author himself: a lust; PHRis INEPNTIS SAECULI AUSPICIA OuKrix bonarum nobills artlum Dc cedlt aetas; publlca eommoda, Ylresriue naluree rett ias tjulsquis avet. memoiet canendo.

LIKELY TO BE ADOPTED. Friends of These Pets Insist on Right to Keep Them in Apartments. LICENSES ARE PROTECTION. Taxable Property Can't Be Wiped Out by Aldermen 500,000 Dogs in Brooklyn. An anti dog ordinance lias been proposed in the Roard of Aldermen.

is liirecied against, dogs in tenements and apart nunt houses. The alderman who introduced it lives away up in the Bronx Up there the dogs have a square aero per dog. ami several common meeting grounds beside. A tame, harmless and very much iluincs'i cated panther strayed off from the Bronx Zoo several ago. The papers published the fact and the ague which seised upon the Rroux population was communicated through sonic psychial medium to the dogs in the community.

After an extraordinarily brave policeman, seeking a transfer back to the Tenderloin, went out and found the stray panther and captured it by calling it, "Kitty." tlie wild eyed Bronx refugees returned to their bonu but not so with their dogs. Once out of olltude the canines decided to stay. Dogless. the Rronx was doubly cheerless. It was a situation that for statesmanship, and luckily tho neighborhood above the Harlem hud a statesman in tlie Board of Aldermen.

At a recent meeting of the board Alderman John L. Goldwater went over and whispered into the ear. of a Stat en Island Alderman. The burden of his whispered song was "dogs." The outcome of it was that the representatives of the Bronx and Staten Island constituencies decided that the poor people who live in Hals and apartments in Manhattan and Brooklyn are cruelly overrun by dogs. Alderman Goldwater scratched his head, thought hard and scribbled something on a piece of paper.

Then he proposed the scribbled bit of paper as an ordinance. It read: "No person shall keep or harbor any dog or dogs in the City of New York, iii any apartment. Hat house or tenement house, occupied by more than one family. Each and every violation of the provisions of the foregoing section shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $10, and in default of such fine by imprisonment in the city prison until tht same shall be paid, such imprisonment not to exceed ten days." It is not too much to say that, tlie beautiful solicitude shown for their constituents by a country member fairly dazed the city members. One alderman was awakened from his siesta so suddenly that br had lo catch hold of his desk to hold himself in his chair.

This briefly tells the story of ho the proposed anti dog legislation was evolved. The Aldermen have not had a chance to vote on the proposed ordinance yet. liei'nre the vote is taken they will hear from In ir constituencies in no uncertain tone. Already tlie Society for tin Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has stepped in to put a stop lo Alderman Goldwat er's scheme. The society is not willing to sec the dogs banished to the Bronx ami Stateii Island.

President Haines of the society has written to the chairman of the committee on laws and regulations asking for a hcarin" Hc says: "The passage of such an ordinance would involve gieat hardship upon thousands of people in this city. People ot moderate means living in apartments or fiats are just as much em i lied to have pet. dogs as tile wealthy, residing in private residences; and the passage of this ordinance would prevent the former frryn keeping dogs, while the latter would still enjoy the privilege. It is class legislation of the worst kind, intended to deprive a large majority of the citizens cf New York of a reasonable and legal right, while it leaves a small minority in the full enjoyment of the same right the only distinction between tho two classes thus privileged and divested of privilege being that the. former are wealthy, while the latter ara not.

"The lale Colonel Waring. Commissioner of Street Cleaning, once attempted to have the Board of Aldermen pass a resolution restricting the liberties of dogs and dug owners of this city, but as soon as publicity was given to the measure its promoter was glad to withdraw it on account of the wide opposition with which it met. to say nothing of the ridicule which it brought upon his bead. "About the same time Senator Page introduced into the Senate a bill prohibiting the keeping of a dog or dogs by any person living in a tenement or apartment house. This bill was in effect the same as the ordinance Introduced by Alderman Goldwater.

As was to be expected, the bill met with bitter opposition and failed to make any progress." F. O. Clark, head of the Brooklyn office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is also opposing the Goldwater ordinance. 'Pnere are probably as many as a half' million dogs in Brooklyn." he said yesterday, "and a large percentage of these are in apartments and Hats. These people eartain ly have a right to keep a dog so long as it does not become a nuisance and.

if it does, there are already laws and regulations in force to remedy this. When a dog is complained of as a nuisance the Board of Health makes an investigation and if it finds tlie complaint well grounded the dog is either removed or turned over to our society. "If a dog has an incurable disease it is ttn ned over to us to be killed, and if its disease is curable the animal is given proper treatment. When a dog is a nuisance by reason of barking or whining all night, why, of course, the city is not the place for it. "Most, cf the dogs kept in tenements and apartment houses are small pet dogs, and are easily cared for.

I do not believe the city will ever deprive any family of the right to keep such a pot dog." Now that the city exacts a license fee for keeping a dog. a question would be raised over the validity of an act requiring citizens to get rid of an animal which has thus been recognized as taxable property. The owners of dogs who live in apartment ar.t. tenement houses are to a unit ppesed lo the ordinance, of course. One of them said yesterday: "Why, a pel dog is almost a necessity to people.

'CARMEN SECOLARE" OF LEO XIII Count Grosoli of Ferrara Nominated by Pope as President of the Work of Catholic Congresses, (Special Correspondence to the Eagle.) Rome, October 2G It Is a subject of universal marvel and filial pleasure that the physical, and still more, the intellectual, life of Leo XIII is a continued prodigy, which daily becomes more astounding, espscially now that the iries of Jubilee receptions has recommenced at the Vatican, succeeding one another almost uninterruptedly, to the unconcealed disapproval of Professor Papponi, dreading the inevitable fatigue accruing thence to his august patient, who, however, to the ordinary observer, presents not the slightest trace of weariness nor decrepitude. Years passing over his head leave, seeming ly. no mark, while his serene lucidity of mind, his energetic powers of endurance, furnish no evidence, however distant, of enfeeblemcnt nor decadence; his strength of will daily accentuates itself more and more, giving forth beams of astounding brilliancy. It is further related that many of the bishops of various nationalities, who come hither with their respective pilgrimages, or on 'their regular visits, ad limina, when in pri Count Grosoli, The "Gray Pope." vate audience pf the Pope, have been utterly amazed at being closely interrogated regarding the most minute details of their diocesan affairs, Leo XIII recalling unaided their names, their history in the past, and answering all their demands with most' perfect cognizance of conditions and requirements of each episcopal visitor, thereby clearly enabled to comprehend the direct and efficacious action cf supreme pontifical authority in the government of the universal church. 'As earnest of PaPal activity, suffice it to note the numbers admitted to the pontifical presence within the past two weeks; besides Donna Marie de la Paz, Infanta 'of Spain, consort of Prince Luclovico of Bavaria, with her children, sister in law, and suite; the Archduches3 Maria Louisa of Austria, widowed Princess of Isemburg Birstein, and suite, both received in respective private audience, with the royal honors due their exalted rank; Cardinal Moran of Sydney, en route to Australia, the Cardinal Archbishops of Bordeux, and of Barcelona, and several Cardinals of Curia; the Syrian Patriarch of Antloch, the Archbishops of Madrid Seville, Colocza and Treblsond; the Bishops of Vlch and of Quilon, in Hindoostan, had each separate private audiences of his holiness, as had likewise Sir Thomas Grattan Es monde, with Lady and Miss Ennonde, who, as envoy extraordinary from the Irish parliamentary party, consigned to the Sovereign Pontiff a handsome silver coffer containing an address in Irish and in Latin expressive of the limitless devotion toward the holy see of twenty millions of Irish Catholics spread throughout the entire world.

The holy father replied in terms of affectionate admiration for the heroic Irish nation and later sent, to Sir Thomas Es monde an autograph letter eulogizing and setting forth the Irish people as example Of fidelity to Catholic nations at large. The newly appointed minister from Brazil to the holy see presented his credentials In formal audience and several distinguished personages from various lands had also the honor of pontifical audience. The crowded pilgrimages, rapiilly replacing one another, appear in nowise to over weary the Holy Father; October 1, current, he received in the Hall of the Throne, the Austro Hungarian annual pilgrimage, comprising over fifty of the highest nobility of that empire presided by the Archduchess princess of Isemburg Birstein, and presented to the Pope by the Austrian ambassador to the Vatican; each person, in turn, kissed the papal hand, making, respectively, his or her offering for Peter pence and aifectionately greeted and blessed by his holiness. Amid the noble tyrolese presented by the ambassador was the Franciscan, Father Hartmann von An der Lau Hochbrunn, whom the Pope expressed great pleasure to greet in terms of hjghest encomium, encouraging the celebrated Franciscan composer to continue un weariedly his musical labors to the glory of God and of the church, bestowing upon him a special apostolic benediction. October 1.4, some 500 Hungarian pilgrims presided by the Archbishop of Colocza, together with a group of British pilgrims of the Roman Catholic Association of England, presented by Archbishop Stonor, were received collectively in the Gallery of Geographical Maps; addresses In Latin were read and responded to in the same tongue by the holy father, who then made the tour of the hall in his open sedan chair, giving to each pilgrim bis hand to kiss, accepting their respective offerings for Peter pence, and imparting to all his paternal blessing.

October 15, the pilgrimage from Vicenza, numbering over 1,000, mostly young men, members of the agricultural and labor unions of that province, together with 120. banners, were admitted to pontifical audience, in the Sistiue Chapel, tal li tint's.

ROMULUS. $50,000 GIVEN TO LANGLEY. War Department Has Contributed That Amount to Man for Experiments on His Airship. (Special lo the Eagle.) Washington, November The report of the Roard of Ordnance and Fortification for the last year shows that the Army has contributed liberally toward the development of rrofesor Langley's Hying machine. Out of a total annual appropriation of $100,000, which Congress grants for the trial of military inventions.

has been turned over to this scientist to spend in experiments Willi aerodromes. Just why the funds intended for the development of new ideas in rilles. ammunition and general ordnance should be used by Rroessor Langley on his living machines is not apparent, in the report, but possibly it Is thought that, the perfected airship wJll be serviceable as it war balloon. The veil of deep mystery that. Professor Langley throws about, his work on the aere drome "has evidently kept the donors of the sr.0 000 from learning anything about tlie machine, for this is all the report of the board says on this subject: "No more need be said at this time than that the progress of the work is satisfactory." It is impossible for callers at Professor Langley's workshop to learn anything whatever regarding the mysterious airship, or even to get as much as a glimpse of it, as a guard is maintained over the entrance and only the elect are permitted to enter.

Professor Langley has been working six or eight years on his scheme, and no one knows how much money he has spent on it. A private trial was made down the Potomac River a couple of years ago, but it was unsatisfactory. In commenting on the recent disasters in France with wrecked airships. Ihe remark Wii made tlie other day thai there was one good thing about the Langley machine, and that wtts that It had killed no one. ITALY'S EXPORTS TO IT.

S. They Exceed Imports by 600,000, Says Rome Paper. Rome, November 8 Commenting on the alarm felt, in some quarters at the threatened inundation of Italy by American goods, the Tribuna to day points out that the trade re'urns for September show that Italy's ex porls to the United States have exceeded the imports therefrom by SfiOO.OOO, and concludes that. Italv has less to fear from the competition of the United States than oilier countries of Europe.
