ARCHBISHOP CoRRIGAN,
What He Has to Say OF the Conference
of American bishops.


New YORK, January 1,-Archbishop
Corrigan, who returned yesterday from
Europe with number OF other distin-
guished Catholic cle1gymen, or the steamer
Scythia, waS seen last evening at the Cardi-
mails residence, adjoining ST. Patrick's
Cathedral, on Filth avenue. In an inter-
view with repor .er he stated that his tip
abroad was a thoroughly enjoyable one,
barring the fact OF rough passage home.
He was, however, in very good health.
In reference to the late conference OF
American Bishops, held at Rome, he sad:
"Our conference lasted Just one month,
from the 18Th OF November to the 18th OF
December 1t was held at the invitation OF
the Holy Father, for the purpose OF discuss
ing ecclesiastical discipline in this couu-
try"
Are you at liberty to name some OF the
subjects that were discussed
Il can not spec.fy,' he replied; but |
can say in general way that all our dis.
Cuss;Ons end deliberations were on the
spiritual improvement Of oCr people, and
more Cllectual church discipline in this
country
"Dd the American Archbiskops agree
unanimously to the conclusions arrived
ut?"
They invariably di1, hIt we have vet
to report as a Committee to the American
Episc, pate, which will meet as council,
probably in Baltimore, for its approval
Did the Conference touch upon the
lush troubles
Yen may say this with great emphasis
that neither the Irish question, nor any
political question whatever was even SO
much as menriore1.'
In conclusion the reverend gentleman
stated that upon the whole the Confer, nee
was entirely satisfactory, and that he vas
sue much good will come out of il.
