Priests Strongly Recommend a seIec-
tion From the This Diocese.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-Prelimi-
nary steps toward the nomination of a
successor to the late bishop Manogue of
the Roman Catholic diocese OF Sacra-
mento have been taken. A committee Of
priests met at the residence of Arch
bishop Riordan, and, in accordance with
canonical law, nominated three priests
for elevation to the Bishopric as their
first, second and third choice. The next
procedure is a conference of the Bishops
of the province, at which three more
names are chosen. If these nominations
differ, the Pope must make selection
from the six. At the conference the
priests strongly recommended the ap-
pointment of the new Bishop from among
the clergy of the Sacramento diocese,
urging that the appointment of stranger
would complicate the work of the dio-
cese.
Shortly before he died Bishop Manogue
desired TO have coadiutor selected to as
sist him. He sent to Rome the names of
three of the priests from which the Pope
was to make selection. Their names
were Revs. Thomas Grace of Sacra-
mento. NJ. Coleman of Marysville
and Very Rev. James Lynch of Grass
Valley. Bishop Manogue died, however,
before the Pope took action on his re-
quest. Bishop Manogue's selection is
said to have been confirmed at the con-
ference. Father Kennedy is also men
toned for the bishopric. The appoint
ment will be made in six weeks.

The new route saves long voyage

whether the wheat would not be spoiled

proved groundless, and it is probable the

This angered the crowd, and it looked
