Will be Followed by
A WHOLESALE PUBLIC DISCIPLINE
OF the Priests in His DiOcese-Dr. Curran Will
Receive Attention and Father Ducey
VIII be Remembered.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
New YORK, July 11-Archbishop Corri-
gan is expected here August l. The pre-
Iate's return, it is thought, will be followed
by wholesale public disciplining of the
priests in his diocese. DR.. Burtsell, who
has been generally censured by the Vatican,
will be only one of the sufferers. All of the
holy fathers who will be made to feel the
power of the archbishop are friends of Dr.
McGlynn. They were not punished before
because the archbishop had doubts about
his authority Now, it is said, that the
cardinal secretary has promised his sup
port. the archbishopis determined to crush
out the last remnant of McGlynnism
within his Jurisdiction when he reaches
New York.
According to an authority WHO'S CONVEX
SAINT with all the clerical work in this do
cese, the first priest who is TO receive the
archbishop's attention is the Rev. Dr. Cur
ran, formerly assistant at st. Stephens
church, and devoted follower Of DIR. Nc
Glynn. DIR. Curran did not break out into
open rebellion. He obeyed his ecclesiastical
superior when he was ordered to leave
st. Stephens church and go into country
parish, but while keeping within the lines
of discipline ne has at every opportunity
shown his sympathy for DR.. McGlynn, and
has done more than any other
man to make enemies for the archbishop
| in Catholic parishes along the Hudson.
| OF course DR.. Curran has not committed
any overt act, but according to clerical au-
thority the archbishop has received from
Rome the power to rebuxe at will the
priests who still sympatbize with DR.. Nc
| Glynn. DIR. Curran will not be depOsed,
but will be compelled to find parish in
some other diocese.
Monsignor Buceyens is likely to be The
next TO receive the archbishOp's attention.
He is constant annoyance TO Archbishop
Corrigan. He has shown publicly, and he
has often shown privately. his contempt
for the archbishop. AS is well known,
before the archbishop went to Rome he in
sisted that Father Ducey should dispose Of
his carriage and horses and daily drives in
Central park, and also cease taking his
meals at Delmonico'S. The monslgnor
obeyed his superior, but how. 1t is said
he presented his servant with his roadsters
and four wheeled vehicle. The lackey in
return for his masters kindness daily
gives Father Ducey a drive along Fifth
avenue. Father Ducey transferred his pat
ronage from DelmOnico's TO the st. James,
i When the archbishop issues a pastoral let
ter Father Ducey gets an assistant to read
it. On one occasion he made an exception.
That was when tine archbishop gave out a
letter attacking all sympathizers OF DIR.
McGlynn. Father Ddcey read this letter
himself, but he put so much satire
into his tone and smiled SO
often that the congregation in
stead of being solemnly impressed by the
archbishop's advice, were laughing when
monsignor left the pulpit. OF course it
could not be proved that he meant disre-
spect, so the archbishop had to suppress
his anger. Now the archbishop can say,
''He who laughs last, laughs best"
Archbishop Corrigan cannot transfer
Father Ducey to country parish, because
! the latter is an irremovable rector. He
can suspend him or invite him to go &c
e another diocese. The latter course is likely
o to be adopted as Father Ducey has lately
e been following the example of DIR. Nc
3 Glynn in taking prominent part in poll

One assistant of Father Ducey and one
y assistant to DIR. Burtsell are said to be OF

u a pastor in the neighborhood of Hudson
who has taken great delight in expressing
in and out of season his admiration of DR.
IL McGlynn. There are many other priest:
in this city who sympathize with DR.. Nc
I Glynn and DR. Burtsell, but they have no
: yet developed courage openly TO oppose TIT
