CONCEALING THE FACTS.
The McGlynn Affair Being Guarded by
the Strictest Secrecy.

New YORK, Dec. lS
The return of Archbishop Corrigan to this
city sets at rest great many of the rumors
relative to the conference of prelates at
Philadelphia. The purpose of his visit was
to attend the meeting OF the executive col
lege at Rome" of which he is secretary. .
At the archiepiscopa palace the archbishop
refused to be interviewed. When asked iu
writing if he had seen the cablegrams from
Rome in the Times to the effect that his ac-
ton against DR.. McGlynn was the result of
personal animosity, he sat down and wrote
the following message:
"The perfect of the Propaganda at Rome
had occasion before, both by cablegram and
letter, to contradict the statements of the
New York Times, and he may find it nec,s
sary to perform a like service on this occa-
sion"
As to the DR.. McGlvnn matter, he had
nothing to say. The matter had passed out
of his hands, and was now before the proper
authority in Rome, who would adjudicate
upon it.
DIR. McGynn still keeps possession of the
pastoral residence, but emphatically declines
to discuss the matter. Today being Satur-
day, all priests of the Catholic church are re.
CURED to sit in the confessional the greater
portion of the day, but the doctor was not
found attending to that portion of his duty.
1t was currently reported yesterday that
stateroom B of the steamship Alaska, which
sails ou Tuesday next, had been engaged for
the passage of DIR. McGlynn. Passenger
Agent Gibson would neither deny nor con-
firm the statement

A MILLION GIVEN AWAY,
The Requests OF Catherine Wolfe. the
Most Generous Woman in America.

NEW YORK, Dec. Is.
The condition of Miss Catherine Lorillsrd
Wolfe today was practically unchanged. She
is liable TO die at any moment. No visitors are
allowed to see her. MIR. Bishop, Miss Wolte's
sgent, who has been at her residence during
the last few weeks, said that the following
list of her bequea,s was the most complete
and correct of any yet published: Grace
House, containing reading and lecture rooms
for the poor memorial window TO her father,
John David Wolfe, in Grace Church; St.
Luke's Hospital. $50, 900; home for ineura.
bles, $4,000; Italian Mission Church in
Mulberry street, $50, 900; tenement house in
Mulberry $4,000; newsboys' lodging house
(probably) $4,000; clergy house for diocese
OF New York. No. 29 Lafayette place, Sl7o.
900; Virginia Seminary, $4,000; Union
College, Schenectady, 100000; ST. gJohns-
land school. Long Island, S95, 200; American
Church at Rome, $4,000; American school
at Athens, 2O,000; schools and churches In
Minnesota. Georgia, Kansas, California,
Colorado and Nevada; schools in Iowa, $50.
900; TO home and foreign missions. SlO0, 200; !;
chair of English literature and bellies lettres
at Griswold College, Iowa. So, 900. Besides
these, there are many minor charities. 1t is
probably safe TO say that Miss Wolfe's be-
quests have amounted to far in excess of ST.
100000 Her charities exceed those of any
woman in America. Her father left her a
fortune OF S7,000,000 in 1873. Her estate at
present is worth, il is believed, more than
100000 900. The collection of paintings in
her house is said TO be worth 81 200, 900.

PORTLAND, Dec. Is.

PORTLAND, Dec. Is.
About 20 of the Snaloan colonists have
planned to start Monday. Mr.. Eaton, the
New England director, is still satisfied with
the venture, and said that all the newspaper
talk regarding the Mexican States they pro
posed settling was mere bosh. They never
were but y miles away from the location
selected for Pacific city. Pacific city was to
be wholly a manufacturing city, for the man
ufacture of cotton goods, sugar, glass and
paper from q shrub found on every hand
The directors had 100000 to commence op
era,ions. As soon as 80 miles of their rail
road was opened they would strike timber
belt that would supply all their requirements.
Mr.. Lowell, the New York publisher, was to
accompany the directors, who go on with the
coionists, with a view of managing the paper
production Other cities would be founded
as soon as the road was done. The lan5
cedei was capable of supporting 100000
people. This was just the commencement
of what was destined to be the ideal govern
ment of the world The Mexican govern
ment was to purchase their productions.
Mexico was well satisfied with the scheme,
and had granted every request of the colo
nists.
