mediately be appealed to the supreme
court. Mr.. McGinn seems to feel con-
fident that the supreme court will sup
port his cause. He will make a hard
fight before that tribunal. Commission

CORRECTING FALSE RUMoRs.
New YORK, July 23.-The archbishop
of the diocese of Rochester, who has been
in Rome for several months, has re
turned home.
The archbishop declared that the re-
ports of the pope's i'll health were IN the
main gross exaggerations, and promul-
| gated for various reasons. lie had had
numerous interviews with the pope and
had even seen him the day previous to
his departure for this country. He was
then in excellent health and buoyant
spirits and seemed to carry his great age
of four score years as lightly as many
men carried half that number.
4 Other reports which have been pub
lished of late, that the pope was prepar-
ing to leave Rome and had already made
arrangements to purchase q seat in Spain,
were, he thought, groundless. as the
clergy of Rome knew nothing of such a
plan.
sit is laughable,' said the archbishop,
''to hear that Archbishop Cerrigan has
been summoned to Rome within the past
few weeks, The McGlynn case is dead
forever and the authorities in the Eternal
City are not concerned about him or his
doctrines"
The archbishop will not 60 to Rome
for two or three years, when the time
for his regular decennlal visit will ar
rive. 1t is safe to say that the DIR. Nc
Glynn case will not be part of the busi-
ness transacted.
Regarding Cardinal Gibbons chances
of becoming pope, which have been
talked of and written of recently, the
archbishop said that they amounted to
practically nothing. "In fact" said he,
with broad smile on his lips, 1.-The latest
, report which heard before / left Rome
was that a certain member of the New
York press was to be chosen as the sue
cessor of Pope Leo"
81 only say that" he added, breaking
into laughg, ito prove what little truth
there can be in such rumor. The fact
of his being an American does not bar
him from succession to the pontifcial
chair, but the cardinals of the papal col
lege recognize the fact that owing to the
state of affairs, and the peculiar political
combinations and complications in
, Italy, an italian pope is an absolute
necessity"
