ANOTHER CARDINAL
Gibbons, Just Returned Home From
Europe, Says America Is
to Have One.

New York, Sept. 23.--Cardinal Gibbons,
who returned from Europe yesterday,
asked about the possibility Of another
American cardinal being appointed, an
swered: - -.
There will be another cardinal. 1t
would not surprise me to see the number
Of American cardinals augmented In the
near future. But there Is absolutely no
truth in the cabled statement that the
pope purposes to create patriarchate
for the occident.'
Concerning the probable relations be-
tween the new pope and the Italian gov
eminent, Cardinal Gibbons said:,
THE pope, as. patriarch of Venice, was
on friendly terms with the king, but
what man does when he is mere pri-
vate in the ranks, SO to speak, and when
he is elevated to power and responsible
ity are wholly different things. What
Plus K. will do in the matter is, of
course, unknown. You may rely on it,
however, that there will be no sudden
change. These things are not done in a
way to attract attention. If any change
does take place 1t will be q gradual
change; the friendliness between the
vatican and the quirinal will grow"
