WASHINGTON, Sept. sO-The con-
ditIon Of the Catholic church throughout
the country will be considered at the an
nual meeting OF the archbishops Of the
United States, which will be held at
the Catholic University. beginning octo-
Der II. A full attendance of the leading
figures Of the church is expected, In
Guiding Archbishop Reane, who has
come from Rome to attend the annual
gathering. The directors of the Uni
versIty hold-thelr annual meeting at the
same time. It 10 understood that the
archbishops will deal with little outside
of the routine affairs Of the church, as
there are no large questions pending.
II is said that the meeting will not
deal with tho questions OF Catholic au-
thority in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. So far as Cuba and Porto
Rico are concerned, they are under an
established Catholic archbishopric,
which will not be disturbed In any way.
Tho church authority IS eehtered at
Santiago, that being the old capital OF
the island, and the Archbishop OF San
tago has two sutCragea, one at Havana
and another in Porto Rico. The bishops
at the two latter points, as well as the
archbishop Of Santiago, win remain In
control OF Catholic affairs. The purpose
is to avoid upheavals such as would
result from sudden change in the gov
ernIng power OF the church In these
quarters, 90 that no changes Will be
made until they come about naturally
by death or retirement.
The Catholic authorities are expecting
early word from Rome as 10 the new
archbishop OF Santa Fe, who takes the
place Of Archbishop Chapelle, now at
New Orleans. The nominations for the
Santa F'e archblshopric have been sent
to Rome, although the name selected
may be outside Of those on the nornl-
mating list. The recent death OF the blsh-
Up Of Harrisburg leaves a vacancy in
that post. which, however. Will not be
filled for some time.

Lehigh Valley Cross
ing Matter.

The ordinance passed by the Street and

high Valley Railroad in crossing Com
inunipaw avenue at grade, was filed with
Mayor Hoos late yesterday afternoon His
Honor will not take any action for at
least a week or until such time as he as
certains just how the people of Lafayette
feel on the proposition. The fact that
DR.. Mortimer Lampson is no longer ops
posed to the crossing makes it appear
that little if any opposition will develop
among the people who are vltally inter-
ested in the crossing. Up to the present
time not a remonstrance of any descrip-
tion has been filed with the Mayor or
Street and Water Board.
Many of the residents of Lafayette say
that they are opposed to grade crossings
On general principles, but they argue that
this particular crossing is purely a local
affair and that it means much to them in
property valuations and rentals to have
it.
The fact is cited too, that in the vicin-
ity of the crossing all save five per cent.
of the property is corporation property.
and is therefor in no wise affected by it.
The fact is also cited that all Lafayette
property is destined to become railroad
land and that it will possess no value for
any other purpose in short time.
