1t will be remem bered that slmultane.
Gus with the deposition OF Bishop
Keane, from the rectorship OF the
university Of this city, he was offered
and elevation 10 the ArchbIshopric.
This he declined. with an intimation
that he desired to spend at least one
year 10 rest and quiet. Carrying out
this desire, he went to California and
took up his residence in the o. Connor's
ssnitarium, at San Jose. He had
hardly become settled before he re-
ceived summons to proceed at once
to Rome. The demand for his pres
ence in the Holy City was not preemp-
tory, and consequently he might have
abstained from compliance. However,
private letters from Cardinal Gibbons
and number of Archbishops urged him
to go 10 Rome, and predicted that he
would be received with distinction and
honored with preferment, instead OF
being condemed for his liberal opin-
ions.
Among those IN touch with the Vati-
can, the opinion is expressed that he
will be advanced to the cardinalate,
and it IS not improbable that be may
be designated as cardinal for Ameri-
