Pecau.se of lie slsnlfiamc the prelate's
return to the people whom ho bad lead
) into thc Independent movement, yesterday
was calibrated aa both a patriotic and
religious holiday by. many thousaoda of
Poles lu this city. After solemn high
mass had been celebrated. Bishop Kjx
looijki made a report of ha mission to
Swltxerlend. He produced "ohe docum.ot
attesting hs ordination, which was read
in Latin by Rev. paul Poloch and was
Interpreted In Polish and English. This
parchment is regarded by tho priesthood
of the new sect aa ample proof of legitl.
mat ordination. .
There was no attempt to convey tha
Impression that Pope Leo hud given his
sanction to the new polish movement in
the wording of this document. Dr. Potoch
mid the new Polish church la now in com
munion wth all the independent Catholic
churches of Europe, comprising the "Fed
eration of Ulrecht." formed 300 years iigo.
and with aoout 4,000.000 communicants. :
The situation !a the outgrowth of. th.
dissensions which rent St- Stanislaus and
St. 'Ttedwlge Roman Catholic churches

tute the Independent Polish church then
left the .mother church und"r he loader,
ship of Father Koxlowskt. and for a while
clamored for Hie appointment of a Polish
bishop to have charge of their spiritual
aiTairs independently of Archbishop Foe
han. They failed -to get any recognition
whatever, and the new organisation fe.
