ARRIVES FROM ROME.
After Three Months Visit Archbish'
op Reardon Returns to San
Francisco,

Mgr. Patrick William Riordan, Arch
bishop of San Francisco, returned Sum
day morning from a visit to Rome on
the steamer Cedric. He sailed from this
country last November, and since that
time many stories have come from
Rome to the effect that Archbishop Ri
ordan was urging the appointment of
the Rev. DR.. T.. J. Hanna, Professor Of
Dogmatic Theology in st. Bernard The
illogical Seminary, Rochester, as Bisll-
op Coadjutor Of San Francisco. II was
said also that he asked the Pope to
make Archbishop Ireland a Cardinal.
All of these stories the Archbishop
denied.
Archbishop Riordan told a. reporter
about his visit to Rome as the Cedric
came up the bay. He declared that there
were three men whose names had been
mentioned for Coadjutor of his archdio-
cese, and that any Of them would be-
acceptable to him. He said he went
abroad simply for rest.
mo decision has been reached in the
matter of appointing a Coadjutor," he
said. "rhe Consistory meets for nomi-
nations once a month. At the meeting
in the second week in January the mat
ter was put off until March, and this
was because the February meeting will
take up affairs in the Orient. Things
move slowly in Rome.
"The Roman See Us most conserva-
tive and it is anxious when a candi-
i date is named to know everything
, about him. Anything doubtful must be
cleared up. When DR.. Hanna's name
came up some one wrote that it would
be we'll to look into some articles he
had written under the title Of The Hu-
man knowledge Of Christi
Were these articles sent for? he
was asked.
1T was not necessary. l presented
them, having brought them over with
me. There is nothing in them to which
any one could object. In all human
probability he will be accepted. Being
so far away, the action will be slow. It
takes time when the Investigators are
over 5000 miles away, and time does
not count much with Church that has
lived 1000 years, and will live through
all time."
do you believe the letters calling at
tention to Dr. Hanna's articles were
inspired by jealousy?"

Chicago, Mar. sd, 1878.
"My Dear Mrs. Stoughton.-When
last in your house in New York, On.
joying your hospitality, saw the flag
Of the Star of the West draped with
evergreens and under it's union the
words, FIVE FORKS, written in beau.
tiful flowers.
Il cannot express to you, Madam,
the emotions and many thoughts
crowding each other which this deli.
cate representation of interesting Nat
ional events created. ] thought per-
maps that ii would not be inappro-
pirate to let you replace the flowers
which fade by the battle flag of Five
Forks and then you could drape to-
gether the first and last flags fired
upon in the great struggle for our
national existence.
'My proposition was most gratefully
accepted, and send you by express
today the Flag. 1t has always been
very dear to me, but this only serves
to increase the pleasure ] have in Civ
ing it to you. The flag was new
when left Winchester in the Shenan.
doah Valley, February 9th, 1864. and
from that date commenced its active
service. 1t took the place OF it's old
! and faded comrade of Opeguan, Fish
er's Hill and Cedar Creek. At Waynes-
boro the remnant OF General Early's
army Of the Shenandoah surrendered
to it. AT the crossing OF the James
River at my command OH the 18th of
March, 1865, 1t was lowered to Mr..
Lincoln as he passed through the
bridge over which we were crossing.
When General Grant passed through
! the gate to Mr.. Lincoln's house. to re-
ceive the surrender of General Lee at
Appomattox Court House, it was low
cred to him; it has never been lowered
in salute or otherwise to anyone else.
Al Five Forks, when it was necessary
that we should win, | took il from the
Color Bearer and it led the troops TO
victory. The bullet hole in the white
was received then. AT Jettersville it,
stood in front of Lees army to oppose
its further progress, until the arrival of
the Army of the Potomac. At Sail
ors Creek Ewell and his corps surren-
dered to it. On the morning Of the 9th
of April, 1866, it stood opposite the
white flag which the Army of North
ern Virginia raised in token of sur
render, and while l was advancing to
meet the ENJOYS representing the enc
my's flag, it was fired upon by Il bri-
gade of South Carolina troops, rccciv-
ing tho last shot from the Army of

Esmonde to Return to irish Party.
Sir Thomas Esmonde, who has con-
sented to return to the Irish party, has
not relaxed his interest in the Sim
Fein policy, or work at home for the re-
generation Of Ireland, and he is very
much interested now in a scheme for
the lotation of county stock for the i'm
provement of the harbors of his native
county of Wexford. I had a very in
teresting interview with him on the
subject a few days ago, in which he
said:
you won't get roast larks to fall
into your mouth if you are asleep
you will have to do the whole work OH
your own account. We have got into
such habit in this country of begging
to the English Parliament for every
thing. and doing nothing ourselves.
1,of H.
couple of generations of this public
begging, and it is very hard to adopt
a more self-respecting attitude. There
are lot OF things we can do our
selves without troubling the English
Parliament at all, and we are too lazy
to do them, and this question Of the
fishermen is essentially case in
point.
I'VE have 1000 people directly en-
ployed in fishing in this county. This
is one of the largest maritime counties
in Ireland, and I think it is worth
while encouraging these people to earn
their livelihood. Then, with regard to
the trade of the county, there is no ex-
ternal trade worth talking about. We
export a certain amount of barley and
a certain amount of cattle and poultry,
but We do not seem TO get anything
back in exchange for them. No coun-
try can live on a one-sided attempt al
trading of this kind. Now, what this
country should try to do, if she wants
to live, is to encourage a return trade
from other countries. There is nc
reason why this country should not
have a mercantile marine."

Sheridan and other members of his

the flag he had carried in the Shenan-

not recall the name or the circumstan-
ces.

RAILROAD WAGE CONDITIONS
To Be Looked Into by the Interstate

Washington. Feb. 1o-Serious in

the mind of President Roosevelt. when
he wrote a letter to the Interstate
