atOME. Oct. 27. Some time after the
recent : eonclave the "Vatican waa aur
prlaed at a report from the United 8tatea
that a high prelate of the church there
had apoken repeatedly of the ' possibility
of several Americana being nominated car
dinals. . At the good faith of the prelate
'In question could riot be doubted It waa
supposed that he waa laboring under a
misapprehension.
Ilia apparent mistake can eaally be ex
plained. Europeans generally and Italians
In. particular uae the term "American" aa
applying to Canadians, citizens of the
't'nlted States and South Americans equally.
'According to this custom, therefore, even
If ho top, who does not speak English,
mentioned his Intention, to create several
American cardinals, he did not mean that
they should come exclusively from the
United States. The argument lias been
made ' that the. United States, con
sidering Its 12,000,000 Catholics, has not a
sufficient number of representatives In the
Sacred college, that Canada has been with
out a cardinal since the death of Cardinal
.Taachereau In 1HS8 and that the whole of
Central and South America, with a Cath-
.olio population of over 60.000,000, never had
one. Braall. the largest of the Latin
American countries, tins repeatedly asked
.for a cardinal, not- only through Its clergy,
. but directly through the government. This
the United States has always refused to do.
Will ' Raise Braalllaa.
It Is probable that tha archbishop of
JtjQ Janeiro will be tha first South Amerl
t can prelate to be raised to the purple, but
' If -this la don It will be difficult to refuse
, the same favor to Mexico, which has a
.Catholic population equal to Brazil, and
even more difficult not to extend the priv
ilege to the archbishops .of Buenoa Ayrea
and Santiago.- where tha blahops have been
rivals for the red hat for years. -
. It has been suggested. In order to make
toom for ' new' cardinals, to reduce the
cardinals In those countries who do not
see-n, to be sufficiently appreciative of the
privilege as, for Instance, France,, which
normally has seven cardinals. The ' sug
gestion also has been made to continue the
systnm Inaugurated by Leo XIII. to bring
about a, better "balance between the num
bers of foreign an Italian cardinals.
-In the United States there are several
archbishops whose high attainments fit
them to enter the sax-red college. Arch
.bishop Ryan of Philadelphia Is considered
first among those, but the situation is such
4 hat' not only the personality of the man to
be selected must be considered, but also the
Importance of the geographical situation
of the arohdlooese. If a new cardinal were
to be named the 'relative Importance of
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and St.
Louis nail be : considered, as, owing to
their -positions In' the Catholic world, either
me 4 of them would be worthy to be the
tee of the new prince of the church. The
pope, especially In the matter of nominat
ing cardinals, can make an unexpected
' decision at any moment, but according to
opinion prevailing at the Vatican, It Is
not likely that In the next consistory, or
the one following, will a red hat be likely
fo be sent, to the United States.

four men on the I7ih day of last September.
Since that time Brown has been confined at
his home, fcil North Sixteenth street, in a
precarious condition most of the time and
Monday It was reported to the police that
his condition had become alarming and
death was feared. The four men who com
mitted the assault are known to the police
and are said to be out of the c:ty, evidently
fearful, the police aver that their rough
handling of Brown' would result seriously.
Brown's case haa been rendered slightly
more serious from the fact that erysipelua
haa set in. He is reported improving and
the police have not yet taken steps to ap

last week, has written a letter to the post
master general under date of ' Baltimore,

In view of the fact that he ha been fur

the writer' invited a searching Investiga

hearing and an opportunity to meet 'any
Accusations against him. He says he fur

notwithstanding he was satisfied they were
seeking his Indictment. The letter Odds:

who has lived nearly eighty yeurs re

and scope of the aid needed and said:'
The Red Cross feels that It would be a
humane and noble thing for the Amerimn
people to undertuke to relieve the suffer
ing in Macedonia. Such h movement would
be in - keeping with American tradition - in
similar emergencies. Tha situation, in

DEEPENS COUNTY BRIDGE MESS
Decision of Bapreme Court and Aetloa
of tMe Bonrd Leaves Thlag
la Waddle.
The county commissioners are' nnw
fronted with difficulties In the matter of
constructing a number of bridges which
re very much in demand in various part
of the county.
At their meeting1 Monday 'the commis
sioners revoked their contract with R. 2.
Drake. A contract covering a period of
two years had been made with Me rkr.k.
to build the county' bridge. .A recent
decision of the supreme court has changed
the, condition so materially under . which
the county bridge work can be done that
the contractor feared, to go ahead and do
the work which had bean nnira.i kiu
lng he might not be able to recover for the
worx ne wouir do. The supreme court
ha decided that the contract for bridge
hall be a matter of comreiiiin un .k..
each competitor shall submit plans and
specincatlona for the bridge or bridge It
is proposed to build, and also th. ..
county commissioner shall prepare their
own pians ana specifications for these
structure.
The question now before the board I
whether It action rescinding or revoking
Mr. Drake contract 1 binding. It is held
to be a matter of vital concern that the
bridges contemplated shall be constructed
at the earliest possible moment. Things
have gotten in such a condition throughout
various 'portions of the county as to render
some of the road well nigh Impassable.
This tat ef affairs. It was argued, could
not longer continue and It wy thought that
the best way to get, around the difficulty
was to revoke Mr. Drake's 'contract and
proceed along another line In the effort to
have some of the bridges placed before the
advent-of winter.
Near Elkhprn. there Is. a well traveled
road where -it Is Impossible to get a tssm
across the Elkhorn river without going five
miles either -wai t'o . another , bridge. A
farmer desiring to haul' a small load of
produce or any other commodity to or from
town must go out of his way., .The citizens
of Elkhorn have protested that this hurts
their city. Complaints have come In from
other portions of the county and have been
couched In such strenuous terms that It Is
not possible to. longer .Ignore them.
A list of bridges which it Is held are ab
solutely necessary at' this,, time has been
prepared and Is now In the hands of a com
mittee. This matter will come up for ad
judication at the next meeting of the commissioners.
