Archbishop williams Going to Rome.

Boston. April 16.-Archbishop John J.
Williams VIII visit Rome early next
month. 1t has been the custom in the
church for the bishops and archbishops
throughout the world to make stated
visits to the pope for the purpose of lay
ing before his holiness the condition of
the churches under their charge. The
practice is not mandatory upon the pre-
lates of the church who have reached
the age OF 60 years. because OF the long
journey. Archbishop Williams decision
will probably start afresh the talk of his
being raised TO the dignity of cardinal.
Ii is not known just how long a stay the
archbishop will make at Rome, but in all
probability he will not return for two or
three months. He is 76 years of age.
