RUMORs OF NEW CATHOLIC DIOCEsEs.

Rumors which have been current in Rome,
to the that the Pope has decided to create
doceses in United states, have reached this city
Gently The rapid growth Of this Church in tins country
j. said 10 the for the rumored decision. No
have been created in the United States during
the last five years; and meanwhile the Roman Catholic
population said have increased from fourth to
about onehrd Of the entire population IN all the large
cities OF the Onion. There has heena gain of nearly
100000 in this city and Brooklyn during that time
and the Catholics the two cities sald 20 mum
Der about 100000. The state OF Ncw-Nork contains
upward Of loo 900 adherents to the K0msh Church
Lleyen oTchbishOps one Of whom is a cardinal, and
Gfy-fur bishops control the Church IN this country.
Some Of the arcDbishOps old and inhrm, and find
their dOcescs too large for them 10 manage properly
This Is sald 10 be another reason why new doceses
should be created Prominent Catholics said yesterday
that authentic information had yet reached tins coun
nv concerning the rumOrcd decision Of Inc Pope
cOusjstury would be held In Rome during the present
week they said, and some action might lie taken then.
Ii Waz probable that some new dloceses would I've
created during the present year. There was rum0T,
also that the Pope intended 10 appoint another cardinal
