The Pope's Latest Allocution.—On June 25, the Pope delivered an allocution in a secret consistory held for the purpose of creating fourteen archbishops and bishops. His Holiness deplored the new law adopted in Italy for subjecting clerical pupils to military conscription as being an infringement of the immunities, the rights and the liberty of the church. His Holiness dwelt upon the lamentable evils afflicting the church in Austria and Hungary, and upon the complaints of the bishops of those countries. The events in Spain also gave cause for sadness and mourning: In Poland the Russian Government continued its persecutions, which had led to the exile of Catholic bishops. Still the Episcopal zeal, undaunted by those trials, was a source of consolation. His Holiness said, in conclusion: "Let the enemies of Christ consider how terrible will be the fate of his enemies. Let us constantly pray to the Merciful Father to bring them back from the way of perdition to the paths of justice and to crown the church with fresh triumphs."
