Show THE POPE IS UNEASY. He Hopes That Nothing More Calamitous and Lamentable AVill Occur. Rome, Oct. 24. The pope has w ritten a letter io the archbishop of Aix, the prelate w ho is to be prosecuted by the French government gov-ernment for disregarding the circular of the minister of public worship, enjoining the archbishops of France not to leave their diocese dio-cese without the consent of the government. The order was issued as the result of the recent re-cent popular manifestations at Rome against the French pilgrims who were said to have behaved in a reprehensible manner at the pantheon. In this letter the pope says he deplores the fact that the Roman rioters were allowed "to indulge w ith impunity in every kind of license, li-cense, profaning the church, insulting the pontiff, and maltreating the pilgrims." The pope adds that he hopes these indictments w ill not lead to "something more calamitous and lamentable." |
