(Received Feb. 10, 0.30 a.m.)
Rome, Feb. 9
The French prelates have protested to the Pope against the language used towards?-them by Father Sauba. The latter was sent to France as apostolic visitor, without the knowledge of the Archbi:;!iop of Paris, and deposed the Superior-General of the Brothers of St. Vincent de Paul on the ground of the weakness.of his rule.
The members of the order protested vigorously against the summary deposition of the Superior, and painful scenes marked the ceremony at which Father Sauba announced his decision. A hundred of the brothers asked for their release from the Society.
