Monsignor COrrigans Attempt to Correct
His Statements Regarded as Presump-
tuOUs.
ROME, Aug. 4, Considerable surprise
has been caused here by an effort Of
Monsignor Corrigan to establish the in
eXactness of one Of the statements of
the holy father in his recent letter to
the bishops Of the province of New
York. After the conservation Cf the
new bishop Of Brooklyn, his grace of
New York, addressed a letter to the
holy father signed by himself and some
Of his suttragans, saying that it had
come to their knowledge that threat
had been made to his holiness that
culturkampl would break out in Amer
ca Ii his holiness yentured to condemn
the arrangements lately made for the
schools situated in Faribault and Still
water In his reply the holy father
stated distinctly that nobody ever made
him such threat.
Upon receipt of this letter the arch
bishop Of New York, in order to prove
his point, collected Il number Of quota
tons from the memorial Of the arch
bishop Of st. Paul and from the letter
0t his eminencu Of Baltimore that
seemed to bear Il different seEse and
forwarded them TO Rome to the mem
beers Of the sacred College wrapped up
in separate copies of the letter of tho
pope, in order 10 show by contrast the
mistake OF his holiness.
NOT 10 THE POINT.
But the quotations are not to the
point, for in none of them does either

# D.n ~, tI,,t -,

for the schools at F.rib;uIt and Still

| pretcnsions made there recently were
| permitted 10 grow. This is evident to
anyone having an opportunity of read
Ing tile quotations given by MonsignDr
| Cnrligan in their own place in their
proper context. Besides, il is plainly
| absurd to any rejecting mind that in IL
countryas wseand practical Is America,
the condemnation Of the pope Of two
