the change in the personnel Of the delegation,
inasmuch as it would be mere idle surmise, as
there is no one in this country who can more
than guess at the motives that led the pope to
make the substitution. There is one thing certain
however. and that ia that the delegation will
continue to make its home in this city. For the
present they will occupy apartments at the
university, but there is o movement on foot
among the Catholics in all parts Of the country
to raise q fund for the purpose OF p putting up a
home of Mgr. Satolh and his asso-
ciates. The site of the proposed dwelling
has not vet been fixed upon and the choice will
rest with the papal ablegate, who has not vet
made his decision. IL he desires it to be on
the grounds OF the Catholic University the
the ground for that purpose. but 1t is more
than probable that Mgr. Satolli will prefer
TO be within the city as it is
thought he might find the university
rather announcement for himself and his visitors
Bishop Perrine of Buffalo is the treasurer Of
the fund that is being raised for the dwelling,
and it is understood that contributions have
been coming in in a most satisfactory manner,
although no statement has yet been made pub
lie.
THE NEW SECRETARY.
Father Papi, the secretary OF the delegation,
is probably about ten years younger than the
auditor. He does not hold important po-
sition as Mgr. Sbaretti. who, as auditor. will
take all the testimony in the cases heard by
Mgr. Satolli. In his custody important pa
pers brought from the Vatican, which il IL
thought contain references to future ecclesiasti-
cal appointments in this country.
The auditor of the ecclesiastical court of
MonsiSnor Satolll arrived in New York Mon
day on the Cunard steamer Servia and became
the guest of Archbishop Corrigan. The
new official is comparatively young man. He
was at one time clerk of American affairs for
the propaganda. Monsignor Sbaretti was
transferred short time ago to the propa-
ganda clerkship for Chinese affairs, which
Office he held until he was appointed auditor
For years Monsignor Sbaretti has been known
as friend aud admirer of Archbishop Corri-
gan. The most friendly relations exist between
the two men. Monday the archbishop sent
his private secretary, the Rev. Father Connolly.
and his Italian secretary, the Rev. Father
Ferrante, TO receive the visitor, who went to
the home Of the archbishop. The princi-
pal duty of Monsgnor Sbaretti will be to
Gravel from place to place and take testimony
for the use of Mon-ignor satolli. He will also
send reports OF the decisions ana actions of the
ecclesiastical court to tine propaganda
The Catholic University is rather a quiet
place Just now, for ii is the time of the Easter
recess and most of tine students and a number
OF the members OF the faculty are out of the
city. The recess will terminate next Tuesday

of the directors of the university will be held
In addition to the routine business there are a
number of important matters to come up for
consideration and action.
THE HALL OF PHILOSOPHY.
The new hall Of philosophy which is being
erected for the university is rapidly approaching
completion. and work is being pushed along
steadily 1t is partly under roof now, and the
remainder Of the roof will be on in few weeks.
Matters in connection with tine completion of
this building will come up for consideration az
tine meeting of the directors. What is more
important even than this is that the time has
about come when the faculty for the new de-
par;ment OF the university must be decided
upon. The details as to the course of instruc-
ton have been by no means completed yet, but
! it is fixed that the faculty OF the
| philosophical department at first will
consist Of about eight or ten men. OF
these places five have been practically
| filed already. The departments of theology
and philosophy are to have separate faculties.
although they will. of course. be closely and
intimately connected. Four of the professors
| who are now connected with the university and
have been for some time will be transferred
to tine new department the
| instruction do not properly lie in the
department Of theology. These men are: DIR.
| Pace. VINO occupies the chair of psychology;
| DR.. Pohle. the chair of Christian apologetics.
| pure philosophy in the new department; DIR.
Searle, astronomy. and Prof. c. W. Stoddard.
| literature. II is thought that Judge Robinson,
| the dean Of the Yale law school. will be con-
nected with the new department, occupying the
chair Of sociology.
