BAYARD'S CHRISTMAS.
The English journals Are Wrapgling
Over q PrOper Testimopiul.

London, Dec. 3.-In its issue tomor-
row the Daily Chronicle will publish an
article on the proposal Of the Daily
Telegraph to open a public subscription
for the purpose Of presenting national
Christmas gift to Ambassador Bayard.
The Chronicle while admitting the Tel
egraph's kindly motives and Mr.. Bay
ards claim to reward, condemns the
suggestion as improper and opposed to
diplomatic etiquette. The mere idea,
1t says, is enough to bring cold per-
spiration to the brow of the most de-
serving diplomat.
Mr.. Bayard, however much as he
may appreciate the good will of the
proposal cannot possibly accept such
q gift. He will foresee that the propos-
al will be ridiculsd in the United States
as q journalistic advertisement.
, The Chronicle suggests that dis
tinEuished EnElishmen give a banquet
to Mr.. Bayard to show the estimation
in which hs is held here.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The flood Of
gossip. following the deposition Of
Bishop Keane from the rectOrship Of
the Catholic University Of America,
appearing in the American newspapers
has reached Rome and has caused
grave concern. This is shown by the
unusual step taken by the cardinal
secretary Of state in sending the FOL-
lowing cablegram received this after
noon at the apostolic legation here:
Rome, Dec. 3.
Monsisnor Martinelll, Apostolic Delegate.
Washington.
The Holy Father has learned with great
sorrow Of the agitation created in the
United States by pretended correspond
sncs and tsleErams from Rome announc-
inS measures soon to be taken against
eminent American prelates and distin-
guished professors Of the Catholic uni
vsrsity. Your sxcellsncy will ,authorita-
lively deny all such falsshoods, which arc
the product Of reprshsnsible machina-
tons.
A Catholic ohurchman we'll verssd
with all the steps leading up to Bishop
Keane's removal said tonight, that the
action Of the holy father In sending the
cablegram above quoted, should put
a stop to all further gossip on the sub
ject. 1t was well understood, he said,
In church circles. that Bishop Keane's
removal was brought about by Ger
man ecclesiastic influence and It was
hoped by the same influence that fur

following the same lines would follow.

him to have had an excellent effect, as
II had reached the ears Of Rome. which
had called a halt on the assault being
made by the German scclssiastics on

party, he said. had not lifted Anger to
