CARDINAL GIBBONS.

He Declines the Pope's Invitation to
l,eside at Rome.
BALTIMORE, July IA dispatch was
received here to-day from Rome stating
that Cardinal Gibbons had declined the
Pope's invitation to surrender his Ameri-
can diocese and to reside in Rome, taking
part in the politics of the Vatican. No
significance is attached to the dispatch by
the Cardinals s friends in this, city.
One of them said: 'Even admitting it
to be fact that the Pope would extend
to his eminence such an invitation,
which is very unlikely, it would be con-
trary to all OF Cardinal Gibbons ideas TO
abandon the distinguished and response
BILE position as head Of the church TO en-
gage in the affairs of the Vatican These
statements doubtless grow out of the very
prominent place which the Cardinal is now
OCCUPYING in the public eye in this country
and Europe. Cardinal Gibbons, while a
strong churchman, is also very patriotic
American. and is where he can render
the church far greater service in his
present station than in any which he
might be called upon to occupy at Rome."

Proposals Invited for the Construction
Of Three of These Vessels.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Navy De-
partment to-day invited proposals for the
construction OF three steel twin-screw sea-
going torpedo boats for the navy. The
boats are TO be of $50 tons displacement.
The material used in their construction
is to be of domestic manufacture. The
vessels may be constructed of steel or
other metal or Of alloy.
The contracts will require speed of
not less than an average Of twenty six
knots per hour, maintained successfully
for two consecutive hours. Ii they fail
to develop and maintain twenty-six
knots, but exhibit an average speed of
not less than twenty-five knots, they will
be accepted, so far as speed is concerned,
at reduced prices the reduction being at
the rate of $4,000 knot. Ii the speed
falls below al average of twenty five
knots, it will be optional with the Score
tary OF the Navy to reject the vessels or
take them &C reduced prices.
The Act of Congress authorizing the
vessels provides that one of them sbe
built on the Pacific Coast, ono on the
Mississippi River and one on the gulf.
