The noteworthy features this after
noon were the arrival of Cardinal
Taschereau and the active work being
done by the st. Louis delegates to Sc
cure the selection of their city as the
place for holding the next congress.
The argument used in favor of ST.
Louis is that next to Baltimore it is the
oldest Catholic See in America, and is
second to no other city as Catholic
center.
Cardinal Taschereau arrived to-day in
company with the Hon. HOnOre Mercier,
prime minister of the province of Que
bee, and Mgr. Labelle, Canadian min
lister of agriculture, and the Hon. James
McShane. Another notable from the
British possessions was the Hon. NJ. q.
Power, speaker of the Nova Scotia as

carriage to the depot to meet Cardinal
Taschereau. and after a democratic and
wholly informal exchange of greetings

COrrigan, ex-United States Senator
Herman, Mayor Grant and Richard
Croker, the leader of Tammany. The
giant figure of Archbishop Feehan
lowered among the Chicago delegates,
many of whom are well known
in the West. This evening in the
hotels novel eXpedient is being
resorted to for the accommodation of
the clergy, and on account of the press
upon the churches. 1t is the providing
of temporary chapelS and the erection
of improvised affairs, where mass will lie
celebrated tomorrow and the succeed
ing days of the congress. Tonight, in
honor of the great throngs of visitors,
the bells of all the thirty-four Catholic
places of worship in Baltimore we're
rung in unison. The bells continued
their joyful clamor for full half hour.
