CoRRIGAS AND THE POPE.
AdYices from Rome indicate that Archbishop
Corrigan, as stated in these dispatches several
weeks ago, possesses an almost unbounded in
fuence at the papal court and is fully upheld by
the pontiff in his course toward the recalcitrant
ecclesiastics in America. The archbishop has
frequent audiences with the head OF the church,
and although reticcnt as TO the subject of these
interviews, it is understood that they pertain in
particular to the disagreements which have fol-
lowed the alliance between certain members Of
the church in the arch diocease and supporters
of the theories of Henry George. 1t is also I'M
derstood that the archbishop viii be upheld
without reservation in crushing the schism and
that those adhering to it will not be permitted to
call themselves Catholics.
