member MS last week III tne Jnlleu Slhtes
Ever since his arrival in this city he has been
the recipient Of high honors from distinguished
Catholics and their organizations, and, aside
from his Sightseeing, the week has been n very
lively ono In Catholic circles. The coming
meeting OF the Directors of the Catholic
University In Washington to select n successor
to Bishop Keane, and the annual conference
Of the Archbiehops OF the United States
have attracted diEnitaries of the Church from
all parts of the country to this city and Wash-
ington. and the Cardinal. although busy with
his leNvc-takinEs. has been interested In the
work and doings of tho various officials of the
Church. He will be on the high seas when the
important meetings occur but will, no
doubt, have well defined idea rs to what
will be done at Washington. and will be able
TO impart some interesting n ews upon his ar
rival in Rome. 1t is probable from the present
condition of affairs that the meetings in Wash
ington, especially that held to select the sue
ceasor to Bishop Keane, will develop important
changes in the administration of Catholic af-
fairs in general In the United States.
or course, nobody tell who will be Sc
lected to succeed Bishop Keane. but it is prob
able that there will be an open division among
the directors rs to who shall be named. Arch.
bishop Riordan OF San Francisco arrived here
yesterday. and called on Archbishop CorriGan
at the arcbppiscopal residence. Archbishop
Riordan Is stopping at the buckingham
Hotel. Archbishop Chappele of Santa F6 also
called on Archbishop Corrigan and will stop
at his house until he goes to Washington.
1t was said that Archbishop Rordan stopped
in st. Paul and saw Archb bishop Ireland
on his way east. Archbishop Riordan is
not a voting member of the Board of
Directors of the university. but Arch
bishop Chappelle is. In connection with the
selection of a successor to Bishop Keane the
name of the Very Rev. Augustine +. Hewitt,
Superior OF the Paulst Fathers of this city, is
conspicuously mentioned. 1t is known to be
the desire of the Pope that the new rector
should be selected from the priesthood. and
Father Hewitt is especially qualified for the
post because of his academic experience.
He wss at one time a professor in tho univer-
sity. and is possessed of considerable admin
tstrative ability. Tho Paulst Fathers have
settlement in Washington which is affiliated
with the university. 1t is called the College of
St. Thomas Aquinas. and has n score of stu
dents who attend religious services and lectures
at the university.
Other clerEymen who have been mentioned in
connection with the selection for the new rec
torship are the Very Rev. DR.; Philip J. CARR.
head Of tho School Of Philosophy. aud Mgr.
Schroeder professor Of dogmatic theology.
and seven Bishops. who are the only members
Of the Board q Directors privileged to vote on
