Archbishop OF New Orleans, as the successor OF
the late Archbishop Jansscns. Tho list which
was sent TO Rome contained the names OF Arch.
plshop heane, formerly rector Of the Catholic
University; Bishop Macs and Bishop Heslin OF
Natchez, Miss. As Is well known the name Of
Archbishop Keane was not seriously consid.
cred, as he had determined not to accept the
bishopric unless II was absolutely necessary.
1t Is expected that the choice Of Bishop Macs
Will DO announced ut the coming consistory,
and while no date has boon set for the consis.
