IRELAND At TIE VATICAN
- sssa
ARCHBISHOP OF ST. PAUL rs Ey-
ERYWHERE HONORED IN
EUROPE
HAD A MOST NARROW ESCAPE
Prevented at the Last Moment From
Taking Switzerland Train
Which Was Wrecked with
Many Fatalities.

On Aug. 10, the holy father at Rome,
admitted to his presence Cardinal Lee
dochowsk, returned from his trip to
Switzerland, greatly improved in bodily
health and strength, and fully able to
resume his important Office as project of
the Congregation de. Propaganda Eide,
which, contrary to a persistent report,
he had never resigned, says the special
correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle
The announcement of the nomination to
that exalted post of Cardinal Satolli was
but one of the usual eanards prevalent
among the quidnuncs of the Eternal City,
as are likewise those repeated statements
relative to episcopal appointments in the
United States recently cabled from Rome
Dy enterpriSing correspondents Amid
other prelates received in recent audiences
were the Bishop of Nicaragua and Mgr.
Patrick Cannon, of Buffalo, together with
the rector ef-the cathedral, who present.
ed Peters pence from that diocese.
Amusingly enough, the Liberal press
rather mixed matters, announcing that
the pope had atmorning given audience
to Mgr. Tommaso del Buffalo, Bishop of
Nicaragua, who had presented Peters
pence, etc.

OF the Catholic church in that region as

the Abyssinian clergy and o. the people

Cardinal Pierotti relative to the compile
ton of the new church on Monte Mario,
to which he had already contributed $20,-
900, promising more If necessary; also,
alluding to the Church of st. Joachim, In
