The Irish standard., 1894-03-31

that the telegram was slmply IAh0 d6
to matters pertaining to the see OF st.
Cloud. The statement that Archbishop
Ireland had selected Father Trobec. Of
st. Paul, to succeed Bishop Zardett, and
had forwarded his name to Mgr. Satolli,
is totally absurd The four other bish-
ops Of the province have voice IN the
naming of the new bishop, and, as the
names they select will be sent to Rome,
the "fake" becomes apparent. Tie re-
ferences to the life and aspirations Of Rt-
Rev. Bishop zardetti are largely the
creation of the fanciful brain of some
correspondent, and are regarded alto
gether as the work of space writer's.
