GIBBONS TO
BE PRIMATE

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 30.-Win
the project of creating primate in the
United States be discussed by the Roman
Catholic archbishops now assembling in
Washington for a special meeting of the
American hierarchy This is the ques.
ton that is just now uppermost in the
minds of churchmen and of large part
of the general public. The report that
such is the purpose of the present meet
ing of the arehbishops has been repeated
ly denied during the last few weeks, but
on the other hand the opinion is ex-
pressed by many persons well informed in
Catholic church matters that the matter
undoubtedly will receive attention. Those
holding the latter view base their belief
largely on the recent reports from Rome
to the effect that Pope Plus has expressed
the opinion that it would be very much
better for the churches of the English
speaking countries to manage their own
business without interference from Rome.
In other words, his holiness is understood
TO have proposed TO grant home rule to
the Catholics of the United States and
Australia. As the situation is viewed in
Catholic circles here it would be neces-
sarv to appoint a primate before this plan
could be carried out in the United States

states None of the details of the plan
have yet been worked out, although the
question has been under consideration for
a long time We think it would be much
better to have a home in each state than
to have one national home, because they
would be handler, more convenient and
easier to maintain The miners in each
state will then keep up and maintain the
home that is built in that state and it
will be for the use Of themselves. Oh
course some states would require larger
buildings than others because they have
more miners. No thought has yet been

be put up for these homes. They may

and after Monday next it will cost more
to ship flour from Pacific coast points to
the Orient than it does now Under an
agreement entered into by all steamship
lines engaged in transpacifc trade the
rate has been advanced to 81 per ton. The
agreement provides also that the differen-
operated to the disadvantage of millers
on the North Pacific coast shall be abol-
ished. San Francisco has had the benefit
of flour rate as low as 81 per ton, but
the Northern steamship lines would not
follow the cut of the China Commercial
company to that extent, as the cost of
shipment between Puget Sound or Port
land and San Francisco has been sufficient
to protect a SO rate, the additional 50
