CATHOLICISM IN AMERICA.
Instructions from the Pope to the American
PrelateS-WOrk for the Council.

BALTIMORE Jan. 16.-The SUMS Rome special
says:
Cardinal Simeoni, prefect of the Propaganda,
In an interview, praised the American prelates
for their patriotism. Each bishop, he said, had
received printed secret instructions as a result
of the conference with Pope Leo. These in
structions will be conveyed to the plenary coun-
Gil in Baltimore in November The instructions
will then be considered in debate and perhaps
amended When adopted by the council they
will be returned to Rome and the Holy See
will confirm them as canon law for the United
States.
Cardinal Simeoni noted four points of instruc-
tions. The first point touches on higher sacer-
dotal education, which viii embrace two years
course in philosophy and three years in theology
broader study of the physical sciences is de-
manded by the exigencies of the times and also
broader biblical exegesis through ecclesiastical
history and canon law The second point treats
of the appointment of episcopal consultors, who
shall be known as canons, like Roman chapters
and with similar duties, and the limitation of the
number of rectors in each diocese. The third
point relates to the improvement in the method
or nominating episcopal candidates; and the
fourth point to the Improvement in the
method of pastoral diocesan visitations
and IN the rules creating the diocesan clergy. 1t
also proposes to create ecclesiastical courts TO
try cases of discipline, to report abuses aris-
ing from picnics fairs, and other such entertain
ments, improve and maintain Christian schools
and to report the best method of preserving
church property.
Cardinal Simeoni also said the council of
Baltimore will be authorized to determine pre-
lminary article regarding tenure of priests
Cardinal Simeoni declined to say who will be the
next American cardinal, but left it to be inferred
that Archbishop Gibbons, whom the Pope es-
teens, will be appointed cardinal. He said fur
ther that pressure was brought to bear to
withdraw the mission of Seppiacci to America or
to create Archbishop Gibbons the delegate apos-
tolic. The Pope wished Americans for America
The appointment to fill the see of Philadelphia
is undecided, and probably will not be determined
