BY far tho most important matter that will

to be undertaken by Archbishop Keane. At
the request OF the Board OF Trustees leave
OF absence was granted Archbishop Keane
for one or two years. or even longer. in order
that he might apply himself to the completion

kee, Henessey OF Dubuque. Kahn OF st. Louis. Ell
der Of Cincinnati and Bourgade Of Sante Fe will
attend. Nomatters out OF the or linary will come
before this meeting. There have been many
reports to the effect that tho ArchbishOps will
consider matters affecting the Church in tho
Philippines. Porto Rico and Cuba. that they
would consider the. Popes letter on
Americanism and discuss many other
matters 1t is very improbable that any
Of these matters will come before the
Archbishops. With the Church In the Philip
pines and Cuba they have nothing whatever

inform al account Of the stunt there, and Car
