bishop Kenrck Of st. Louis, and his recent serious
attack Of Illness have revived the interest here IN
his probable successor. Bishop Kahn, OF Wheeling,
Bishop spalding, OF Peoria. and Monsignor o'Conne,
president Of the American College in Rome. are said
to be the three prelates now being considered IN
Rome IN connection with this important question.
Recently statement published t. the effect that
Monagnor OCOnnell had been chosen. There has
been no confirmation Of this report
az should not be surprised II Monslgnor O'Connell
was selected said OF the professors at the Catho
nc University to-day. lie Is eminently qualified for
the honor and would make energetic and Jealous
archbishop for the coadjutor OF Archbishop Kennk
will be his successor. Since the establishment OF
permanent Apostolic Delegation in the United States
Il an assured fact the services OF Monsnor OConne
to the Propaganda will not be important as before
Archbishop Satoi was sent to this country. Ut.
O'Conne is ylrgnsan by birth. There are otoer
reasons commencing him 10 the Pope as the successor
OF Monsignor Kenrlck. The fact that the Delegation
Is speedily TO have the personnel BETTING Its I'M
portance gives probability to the report that Monssno
O'Connes appointment to the ST. LOUIS see may nave
already been determined
In addition to the appointment OF Monslsnof
Sbarret us Chancellor OF the Delegation, the omce
Of permanent secretary will be filed by the Kew
Hector Pappi. This ends the prospect Of Father
Booker coming the United States. at least for the
present. The change has been made the basis OF
some curious charges II Will be remempereN
that The Tribune published early IN jan
nary that the Jesus were among th'
leading opponents OF the Saolli scholastic proposition
I'm the United States This allegation was verified anu
the information sent TO Rome. The result mas peen
that the Pope commanded the new General Oh Tue
Jesuit Order to instruct Immediately the PoSmcai'
and their subordates in the United States TO refrain
from discussing or interfering with the schooi qu's.
ton Leo XIII also found that the jesuit editors Oh
stioators Of attacks those personally friendly "

them Father Brandt and Father Holland, the latter
formerly connected with the Georgetown College.

Il is from this very publication the Pope evolved Ine
nine scholastic propositions which, added TO he h'e
laid down by the Hcnary Council OF Baltimore no"

the Pope has asked the opinion OF the American
Bishops, this being the last day III when tle au'

The attention OF one OF the Catholic Im'ers"y
faculty was called TO the report that the Jesits ara

enemies OF the Holy Father in this country
THAT story, said The TIibune's informant, rs
plainly the invention OF those who have r'cehus 'ea'
