Bishop Forest returned Friday from Ell
Paso, to which point he accompanied
Cardinal Satolll. But little opportunity
was afforded to get an expression from
the cardinal about what he thought OF
| Texas and San Antonio, but Bishop For
rest gives some of the salient points nf
the cardinals impressions. The cardinal
was much pleased with Mr.. Dryers
speech. He said 1t showed feeling, was
forceful and we'll expressed, and con
1
much pleased with his San Antonio re-
ception. He would not commit himself,
being taciturn, by comparison OF the
receptions accorded him by the different
Texas cities, but the bishop Is satisfied
that the reception here compared with
n any accorded him in the south. The
trip west to FL Paso was great surprise
to the cardinal, and when he beheld the
deserts he said. in jocular way, when
| no N Roma
Father, the Pope, 1 shall tell him tha'
J the diocese of San Antonio is as large a.
all Italy, and that there is surely room
for three or four bishops out here. /" WheI
! he was traverSing the vast deserts OF Yves
Texas he raised his bands and said
Bello coelo! Bruta terram which Is u
! say, Sweet heaven! what disma
Texas, however, for the bishop re
lates another instance when h
systematically exclaimed, "reXa
is the France of America, and France
the Texas of Europe!'
At HI Paso the entire population wei
coined him at the depot. He visited tn
old mission at Juarez, and on his return
TO the depot, made beautiful ADDRESS u
English from the rear car platform to tn
