It will be nearly 40 days, under the church law, before three names selected by bishop of the province can be sent to the Pop from which he will make a choice, If he dries not decide to disregard them ail, as the successor of Archbishop Cowman. When the prelate who now lies dead was selected by the Pope as Arch blohop of thl diocese, all the name sent to the Pope were disregarded and he then named M gr. Corrigan for the place. Most prominent among those named In the quiet dUcuaslon of prob ability are Bluhop Farley,. aux Hilary bishop of this archdiocese and Bishop McDonnell of Brooklyn. The other two names most often mentioned are tho of Father Charles H. Coiton and Fath er J. If. McGean. It Is poslb!eIhat any of the consul tors or Irremovable pastors may be finally selected by the bishop of the province and their name be sent to Rome. MAINE WORKER3 SPEAK.
