Baltimore, Nov. Is. = Cardinal Glib
bons has thus far denied himself to re-
porters who have sought to interview
him upon the statements that have
been published regarding the relations
of himself and Archbishop Ireland
and Bishop Keane to the Vatican. A
gentleman conversant with all sides Of
the controversy said to-day:
''There is not a clergyman who will
not regard the statement that it is
proposed to discipline Cardinal Glib
bons as without basis. of fact. In the
first place, everybody knows that Car
dinal Gibbons has held aloof from en-
tanglements such as are limited at in
the dispatches, and that might posi-
bly, prove troublesome. The cardinals
attitude has always been of the peace
maker The allegation that it is pro-
posed to force upon the cardinal CO.
adjutor of the opposite school is equal
ly absurd. Ii one stops to consider the
matter for a moment he must see how
impossible it is, and how irreconcila-
BILE with that other statement in the
dispatch that 'he will not be removed

pointing coadjutor to the ordinary of
any diocese at variance with the policy
of the latter. would, in itself, be viz
