THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
A Talk with Cardinal HibbOns-The

held.

I'VE are progressing very well with the new
Catholic university" said Cardinal Gibbons to
STAR reporter yesterday. The reporter saw
him at the parsonage of St Mary's church
Immediately after the confirmation services yes
terday afternoon. He had not yet divested
himselfof his vestments and he looked fatigued,
having been attacked with something like a
chill during mass in the morning.
1--WE are making satisfactory progress" he
said. "a great university must be built slowly.
1t Is great work, and cannot be done all at
once. 1 have called a very important meeting
to be held in Baltimore on the 9th of next
month. We will then decide finally upon the
plans, and very soon afterwards We expect to
Degin building. There Is very little else to say
president of the university, but think it better
not to make his name known just yet
Ihe reporter called the cardinals attention to
an attack made upon the university by Bishop
Coke, OF New York, who thought it a scheme to
undermine our political lust itutions."
ne smiled at the mention of Bishop Coke s
name. and said a thing of that sort would not
attack would do no HARM He would not like
Coke has of speaking. He discussed the subject
as one OF very little Importance. Bishop Coke,
hessaid, had taken a notion, he did not know
why, to attack this university: but it was only
the commencement OF work OF high civiliza-
tion. The highest civilization, he said, had al
ways grown up around these great Catholic insti.
tutIOns OF learning. The universities of Oxford
and Cambridge, in England, had been founded
by the Catholics, as had nearly all the other
great institutions of learning in Europe. This,
he said, would be the foundation of just such
an institution, and there was no reason why it
should excite suspicion or dread in any one.
Would you care to speak of the growth of
the Catholic church In this country?" asked the
reporter.
lit is pretty big subject to discuss" replied
the cardinal. II may say the growth is very
very healthy growth"

To Remove the Sultan % Cairo.

THE SCHEME WHICH RUSSIA AND GERMANY
ARE SAID TO BE ENGAGED IN.
A cable dispatch from London TO the New
York Tribune says: "The influence OF two great
powers-Germany and Russia-is now being
exerted to bring about nothing less than the
restoration OF the Caliphate TO Egypt by the
transfer Of the sultan himself from CONSTANT
nople to Cairo. BE IL remembered that last
year the sultan dispatched Moukhta Pacha TO
Cairo with the ostensible object OF strengthen
ing the English hand in the restoration Oh order
by presenting direct representative OF the
suZerain of Egypt as counselor OF the English
authorities. Inc mission OF Moukhtar Pacha
was declared 10 be temporary, but nothing in
the conduct OF the pacha after his arrival indi-
Gated that he so regarded II and to-day Moukh h
tar shows no signs whatever OF any inuention TO
leave Egypt. His position there, indeed, has
been SO strengthened within the year that his
name has been mentioned more than once re-
Gently as candidate for the khediyate In case it
should be decided 10 terminate the dynasty OF
Mahomet Ali.
In the mind OF the two great powers referred
TO, Moukhtar is simply the lieutenant OF the
sultan, charged with the duty of preparing TO
receive his sovereign, as the caliph ruling Islam
from the ancient seat of the Caiiphate, which
was acquired by Ottoman cong uest of Egypt,
and IL is a commander OF the iathfui that
the alliance OF the sultan Is OF such Importance
TO England, England being herself to-day the
greatest Mahometan power i'm the world.
Should the removal OF the sultan be thus
effected a Russian occupation of Constantinople
need have no such mischievous consequence
for England as would follow from English ac-
quiescence in the violent overthrow at Constan-
tlnople OF the sultan as the head of the Mahom-
etan faith, while Austro-Hungary might be
allowed To possess Salonica compensation
for Russian advance 10 the Bosphorus All
this means, OF course, the final disappearance
OF the Turk from Europe ana the disruption of
the Ottoman empire. But recent events have
brought us within a measurable distance OF the
time when the great change SO long Ioreshad-
owed must be regarded as imminent and inevi-
table,"
