DlOCESES UNITED.
By Order of the Pope. Pittsburg and Alle-

By Order of the Pope, Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny Made One-Bishop Phelnn Con-
firms the Report.
The following telegram, in official form,
was received from Altoona, the present
home Of Bishop Tuigg:
"By brief of our Holy Father, Leo
XIII, given at Rome July 1, 1889. the dio-
cese of Allegheny has been suppressed and
made part of the diocese of Pittsburg, as
it was before the division of the dioceses in
1876. b. order of the Bishop. N. j.
O'Reilly, Secretary"
Bishop Phelan last night confirmed the
report of the consolidation of the two dio-
ceses. The official notification has been re-
ceiyed. He said that the consolidation
made the Pittsburg. diocese the same as it
was prior to 1876. Further than that he did
not care to speak.
Fathef Mcdonald, of st. PauPs Cathe-
dral, said last night that one of the reasons
for the consolidation was the inability of
the diocese to support their theological
seminaries separately. The Allegheny dio-
cese has been weak financially. Nearly all
the priests of the two dioceses signed the
petition for the consolidation, except the
clergy in the mountains. 1t has been ex-
pected tor some time, since it has been
known that Bishop Tuigg would probably
never be able to resume active supervision
of the territory. For some years Bishop
Phelan has been Acting Bishop of the
diocese of Pittsburg.
