BISHOP SpALDING
His Visit To Rome Creating Consid-
cradle Speculation AS To Its
Nature.

Nature.
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Bishop Spsld-
ing's departure today for Rome has
created considerable speculation in
Roman Catholic church circles as to
the nature of the pressing business
which has caused the bishop of Peo-
ria to be rather hastily summoned to Q
conference with the pope.
Under the laws of the church the
bishops are required to visit the vati-
can once in every decade, and it ia sell
dom that the American bishops have
crossed the water oftener than once in
ten years. unless required to do so by
business of unusual Importance. 1t
has been but few years since Bishop
Spaldipg returned from Rome. and this
fact, together with his well known
views on important questions affecting
the church in America. has caused
both churchmen and lsymen to specu-
late on the proba bic causes and results
of the present journey to the Holy City.
