The visit to Washington OF Archbishop
Ireland, as announced yesterday in The
Evening Times, could have been anticipated
considering his close and important con
nection with the Catholic University of
Anlenca and its late rector, now Arch
bishop Keane- The prelate OF st. Paui
has been East for about ten days on
business, anG it was TO be anticipated that
lie would come 10 Washington
Archbishop Ireland is at the Et,bitt House,
where he arrived yesterday morning HIS
first visit was 10 ST Patrick's rectory, where
Archbishop Keane is spending his vacation.
DR. Keane, however, had already left the
city for Baltimore 10 pay his respects 10
Cardinal Gibbons He was accompanied
by the vice recto. of the university.
The recent visit OF Archbishop Ireland To
New yo:k at Ihe time OF the arrival there
OF A rchhistup Keane was made the basis
OF some stories, all of which have been ex-
ploded 10y the two aIchbishops.
The principal allegations III these ru.
moTs were Ji.at AS Archbishop Keane stood
for the thin IS ~ church andsiate for which
A Archbishop Ireland stood they were con-
sidered In the same category at Rome, and
were subjects of grave criticism at the
Vatican.
The o.. her Part of the story was that
Archbishop Corrisan was supposed 10 rep
resent the Fspal idea as TO church govern
Incnt IN the United States, and that hence
he was opposed To Archbishops ireland and
Keane.
Therefore, when Archbishop KeaRe was
removed from tie universityit was her aided
as a defeat and a slight to him and the
prelate OF st. Paul. This subject was re-
ewed recently at New York and in Wash
ington, where a quietns as put on it by
the gentlemen concerned.
Archbishop Ireland said that there was
naohing in lis visit 10 New York ar his
coming here except & mere matter OF
courtesy and personal convenience.
He had quite a busy da y, and declined to
| be interviewed He viii remain in Wash.
in gton a few days before going to the
4 r encanpment. He has also accepted
an invitation to spend a part of his yaca-
tlon with Col Kerens. at the iatter's sum
mer home ia West Virginia.

ii is said that this formal dinner was
arranged some time ago with reference Il
Archbishop Keane's arrival in America
and Archbishop Ireland's coming east on
his engagement with the G. y r.
Although formal dinner, IL is not likely
that there viii lie any verbatim report oi
the proceedings. The affairs OF the uni

is said, are flourisbing Ike the trees on the
university campus. Last year one of tht
sensational assumptions about the univer

new magnificent brick building, which
now adorns the grounds. II contains hun
dred rouns and is fitted from basemen;
TO ceiling ia upto-date style. Another
