BALTIMORE. Dec. 2S.-The reports that DR..
McGlynn. the renstated Catholic priest. would
probably be assigned to this archdiocese. has
caused some comment in local Catholic cir
ces. In East Baltimore. particularly. the sub
ject is being literally discussed in connection
with tho vacant rectorshp Of st. Patrirk's
Church. Laymen OF the parish generally
look with favor or the idea. but the priests
do not.
One OF the Gle, gymen in East Baltimore
said: St. Patrick's is the only vacant pas.
torate in this city ut present. As far al know
the clergymen that have city pnstorates are
satisfied with them and do not propose to re-
siGn. The Cardin~l is. l believe. satisfied with
all the incumbent l do not think it likely
that many worthy priests in this arch
diocese would be thrust aside to afford an op-
portunity to honor Dr. McGlynn. | do not
think that even DR.: McGlynn would sanction
such proceeding
There Is one special reason why there Is no
likelihood OF DR.. McCilynn coming to this do
cese. The reinstatement OF DR.. McGynn is a
victory for the liberal wing Of the Church. and
IT would be very poor politics lust now to
bring Dr. McGlynn here. Cardinal Gibbons is
not likely to risk t he IL will Of the local
clergy who have prior right to succession.
An out. of-tovn priest said to-day: DIR. Nc
Glynn Is more likely to be transferred to any
diocese in this country than to Baltimore
Policy forbids that he should como here"

PENsIoNs FOR WIDOWS.
The Senate Insists on an Amendment
TO the Psusion Bill.

The Senate Insists on an Amendment
TO the Peusion Bill.
ATLANTA. GA, Dec 16-The Senate
took up the widows pensions question again
to-day. The House passed the bill making
it's provisions apply to all confederate
widows residing in Georgia. The Senate
amended by making it apply to the widows
of troops who enlisted in Georgia regiments,
and also to pay them semi-annually, that
is, $50 every six months. The House ins
sisted upon the bill as it had passed that
body. This morning the Senate receded
from It's proposition to pay the widows
ssmi-annually, but insisted that the bill
should apply TO the widows Of Georgia
troops, or Of men from other states who
enlisted in Georgia regiments, and unless
the House will agree upon it the bill will
not become a law. It is probable that the
House will consent to the Amendments of the
Senate restricting its benefits to the widows
OF soldiers who enlisted in Georgia regi-
ments.
Other bills passed to-day were: To ap-
propriate $21 900 to the blind academy, for
improvements In the building and grounds
60 appropriate s., 800 for the deaf and blind
asylum; to appropriate Sl4, 900 to aid in the
building Of store rooms at the lunatic asy-
lum, and to appropriate S20, 900 to refit the
school of technology.
