"A dispatch from Washington, ID. u, says:
1.-THE appointment of another Monsignor in
the Archdiocese of Baltimore by Pope Leo
XIII is to be made at an early date according
to advices Just received at Washington from
Rome. Although three priests with that dig
nifty now reside in Washington, DR.. Stephan,
head of the Indian Bureau, and Drs. Conaty
and Mcmahon, of the Catholic University,
there is no prelate of this description in or
near Baltimore, the chief city Of the see. that
office having become vacant at the death of
Monsignor Edward McColgan, pastor of st.
Peters Church, Baltimore, three years ago.
"The Pope, recognizing the disparity in
this respect between Baltimore, the mother
see of the United States, and other less inn
portant places, has expressed his intention of
appointing priest well known in Baltimore
to the office. 1t is said that the appointee
probably will be Rev. Matthew o Keefe, rector
of St. Francis Parish, Towson and secular
priest of over so years standing. He is now
about rs years of age and has been editor of
the Catholic Mirror journal, of Baltimore, for
some time. He ranks among the leading theo-
logians of his time, and his writings as dis
putant on doctrinal points have frequently
been brought to the Popes attention"
