TO BE NAMED.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Selection OF two
archbishops and ten bishops to fill the
vacant miters for the United States
is the complex and important task that
is now being considered in Rome. No
such extensive simultaneous addition
to the personnel OF the Catholic hier-
archy in this country has ever had to
be made before this. It will carry the
number Of the bishops of the United
States over the hundred mark, the to-
tai now being ninety. with thirteen
archbishops.
The nominations to be made are an
archbishop for Santa Fe and coadju-
tor for San Francisco; new bishops for
Cleveland, and for the new diocese Of
Toledo, Ohio! coadjutors and assistant
bishops for Detroit Syracuse, Burling-
ton, VT; Baltimore, New Orleans, Du-
buque, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. In
addition the runor is revived that the
archdiocese of New York may be divi-
ded and that an auxiliary will be
named for Brooklyn.
So great has been the increase OF
the Catholic population at an the large
centers that the volume of work i'm
posed on the bishops has so grown in
proportion as to be almost impossible
fnr x.,n ~
nearly all of them have obtained either
coadjutors or auxiliary bishops As.
Looking over the list OF our bishops
we are startled at the number that
have been incapaciated through strenu-
Gus labor" says the editor of the Cath
Ollie Advance. "Not the physical la
Dor alone that wears, but the incessant
care and worry, and responsibility that
are necessarily attached to the episco-
pal Office and that never cease their
corroding influence upon the bearer OF
the crozier."
Changes In October.
Owing to the passing Of the church
in the United States from the control
of the propaganda to the immediate
jurisdiction of the pope, by virtue of
the recent apostolic constitution "Sapi-
emil Copsidio," 1t is expected in church
circles that many of these appoint
r1ents will not be acted upon imme-
diately by the propaganda, but will be
left for decision to whoever may be
appointed by the pope to consider them
when the complete change of jurisdic->
tion takes place in October next The
choice OF bishops will hereafter be

over which the pope himself presides.
One of the consequences of this
change will be that the bishops will
have to pay in future the usual fees
and taxes for the bulls receipts and
other documents which they require
from the holy see ard which hereto-
fore, while the United States, as mis-
sionary country was under the tute-
lage Of the propaganda, were delivered
to them free Of charge. sa
Reforms of Plus X.
Under the reforms instituted by Plus
x. no priest in future, will be made
vicar general Of diocese or defender
of the marriage tie unless he has OBJ
tanned by examination the degree of
Doctor OF Canon Law. This qualifca-
ton win also be considered in the
choice OF candidates for vacant bisho-
prices. BIZ
Another important change that the
new code OF Plus x. will make is that
the age at which priests will be or
dained Will be thirty lone years. At
present the canonical age is twenty
four and by special dispensation ordi-I
nation can take place at twenty two
and one-half years.
Candidates for Vacancies.
With regard to the candidates for the
present vacancies several tangles have
to be Strengthened out. The most
prominent of these is the accusation
Of modernism in the published writ
ings Of Rev DIR. Edward j. Hanna at
Rochester, N. r.. who is the choice OF
Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco
for the coadJutorship of that see. The
present visit OF Archbishop Farley and
Cardinal Gibbons to Rome will, it is
believed, aid DIR. Hanna's selection.
He is defended as soundly orthodox by
his friends, among whom is that most
influential member of the Roman curia.
Cardinal Satolli. The cardinal has al
ways held him in special affection as
one OF his most talented and promis-
ing pupils,

walks, Bohefnians, Syrians, Magyars,
Slovenes, Lithuanians, Roumanians
Croatians. United Greek Sloyaks, Uni
ted Greek Magyars and Maronites, In
view OF this, as usually happens when
such complications crop up, the new
bishop will probably be selected by
Rome from some other diocese.
Another incident of the selection is
the creation from the present territory
Of Cleveland OF the new diocese OF
Toledo, the exact limits of which have
not yet been formally defined, but which
will include those countries Of the state
OF which the city of Toledo is the CEN
ter. 1t Is anticipated that one of the
