A DENIAL FROM BERLIN.
AMSTERDAM. January 7. Tho majority of tho Antwerp clergy havo been arrested.
Advices from Berlin now deny the arrest of Cardinal .Mercier or his clergy.
Tho Very Rev. Chancellor Price, of Christchurch, knew Cardinal Desiro Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, many years before he attained that dignity. The Cardinal was then Rector of tho Institute of Thomastic Philosophy at the University of Louvain which Father Price attended.
"Cardinal Mercier," said Father Prico "is a tall, thin, dark ascetic-look-ing man, very broadminded in his views, and an excellent English scholar. In fact, he prides himself upon his command of our language, which he speaks perfectly without a trace of accent. Ho would now be about 04 years of age, and he was appointed Cardinal Archbishop in 1907. Ho is a Belgian by nationality, and is a very unassuming, hospitablo man, and exceedingly clever and brainy withal."
