NEW SEES TO Re CREATED.

ing to DIR. Rocker.

DIR. Rocker, secretary of the papal lega-

Omaha. Neb, probably will be appraised to
archiepiscopal dignity, with its incum-
bent, DR.. Richard Scannen as first arch
bishop. This will increase the metro
politan provinces of the country to fifteen
while auSmentlng the numerical force of the
American hierarchy to nearly 100 members

say. in a diocese already burdened with
debt. The reason for detaching this county
one OF the richest in the see of Philadel-
Phla, Is to compensate the diocese of Har-
FlSburS for territory given to the projected

had disposed of the property. He took
the officers to lot near the car sheds at
