Francis Bourne, Roman Catholic arch* bishop of Westminster, was enthroned ~~ In the new cathedral ot Westminster today wHh the impressive ceremony incidental to such occasions. The vast building was lilled to its capacity by ecclesiastical and laynpen members of the Roman Catholic church, the robes of the officiating clergy and the varied garbs of the numerous religious orders, forming a conspicuous contrast with the brick walls and bare looking, unilnislied eddflce. rnc cathedral of Westminster, consecrated today, is the first Roman Catholic cathedral that has stood in the metropolitan see of England since the reformation. The building was begun only eight years ago, though, it was projected by Cardinal WUemsn (who died in 1863), and was planned by his successor, Cardinal Manning. The extreme length otff the new cathedral outside is 360 feet; width 166 feet; height of nave 117 feet and covers on acre of about 54,000 square feet. The general view of the inner walls is SvtiM one of bare rough brick. The scheme Is to cover the whole of the lower walls and the piers to the height of about 40 feet with marble. All the upper part and the vaults and domes will be decorated with mosaic work illustrating the history of the church. The total subficrlption before Che laying of the foundation stone waa over 5250.0(H). Since then there hare been many large Individual benefactions, and the total expenditure on t-ha entire edifice up to the end of October was over a million dollars. The cathedral starts clear of debt. WRECKED ON CORAL REEF. America'* Schooner Bingham, From Pensacola, Beat to Pieces. Pensacola, Kla..
