NAY GO TO BANGOR.
Bishop Elect O'Brien Discusses Possi-
bIIity of Removal OF Sec To That city.

The Very Rev. III. c. o'Brien, Catholic
bishop-sleot of Maine and vicar-generai
of the diocese OF Portland, has made the
following statement for publication re-
garding the possible transfer OF the see
from Portland to Bangor:
1.-The suggested transfer of the see
from Portland, its present location, to
Bangor, the seat of FIR. O'Brisn's present
parish, could not be considered as con-
eoted solely with his association with
the bishopric, for it has been agitated
among some of the priests OF the do
cese for a considerable time, for the pur-
pose of csntralizing the location OF the
see. The fact is that since the erection
of the see of Portland and the separa-
ton of the Maine diocese from the church
in Massachusetts and the immediate
jurisdiction OF Archbishop Williama. the
geographical conditions OF the Maine
diocese have changed. When the see was
formed, the northern boundary line OF
Maine on the Canadian side was unset
tleu, and that gave Portland di fferent
relation in regard to the other parts OF
the diocese from that which 1t occupies
II
today. At the present time Bangor Is
much nearer the central part OF the ter
ritory. Bangor can be reached by day
journey from any part of the diocese, and
this is not the case as regards Portland.
Several OF the Maine priests have In
terested themselves in the movement for
the rausfer of the see, and 1t is under
stood that a map of the district, setsi ng
forth the deslrability of Bangor for tha
seat of the see and the place of the do
cesean cathedral, has been mads and
forwarded to Rome for the consideration
OF the church authorities. The removal
OF the see would occasion the building
of a new cath sdral in Bangor. The ca
thsdraI in Portland would be used as a
pariah church, for which 1t is admirably
suited, should the change bs effected.
The Rev FIR. O'Brien Is at present ad'
ministrAtor of the Maine diocese, His
parish in Bangor cares tor about one
third of the Catholic population of the

NEW LoBsTER HATCHERY.

Washington, January 29.-Commission-
or Bowers Of the United States Fish
Commission anticipates that 1t will take
about year to get Names new lobster
hatchery, provided for in the bill which
Mr.. LittIeneld had passed in the House,
and Mr.. Hale In the Senate, in full
operation. The bill has yet to be signed
by the President and nothing win be
done till the bill actually becomes a
law.
One of the first steps will be to send
an agent of the commission along the
Maine coast to select a site thoroughly
available for the Matching Of holsters
and also well located for the distribu-
tion OF the young fry. Commissioners
bowers and Mr.. Littletield talked the
matter OF site over while ago and ar
rived at the opinion that probably Lin
coin county would have the new hatch
eryy, lit that is not certain. The COM
missioner Is given authority to select the
place.
