Fourteen archbisnops Meet.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Fourteen
arch bishops will be entitled to seats
In this weeks annual gathering, and
only one of these will not represent a
diocese of the United States. This is
MoDsignOr Satolli, Archbishop of Le-
panto, who, as the pspal legste TO the
Worlds Fair Dedication services, is
simply admitted as q guest, with no
power OF debate or decision" Arch
bishop Kenrick will probably also be
absent, as he Is very old; and last
centennial at Baltimore, was held in
st. Louis in Difference to that aged
prelate. There are questions of mo-
mentous Importance coming up for
discussion, and the first will be the
question, which has now for over a
year divided the clergy and laity into
bitter factions. Archbishop Ireland
has fought the battle OF the lib
eral element and he said to
have on his side the faculty of the
Washington university, and even
Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishop Cor
rigan may be said to lead the opposing
faction, and as the par ial decision of
the Roman pontiff he has been in
clined in his favor, the compromise
which he will offer at this conference
will probably be accepted. A de-
cision of the hope would Itself natur-
ally be final, but the missive sen5 by
him on the question had in it the
words tolerate potens" and on the
translation of this phrase hangs the
present contest Arch bishop Corri-
gan believes that the pope favOrs
simply the liberation Of what the
church regards as an evil, the inter
ference of the state in parocshial
schools. while Archbishop Ireland
calls it federation in the wide sense of
the word. Arch bishop Corrigan stands
therefore bitterly opposed to state aid
for paraochial schools, and to state
selection OF teachers, and hopes for a
compromise which will accept state
aid simply for the nOn-seCretArian
work OF the schools and will in no
way allow the state voice in the |
selection of teachers. But there are |
Of Importance to come |
up. One of these is the final disposi- |
ton of the vexed secret society prob |
lem. The result will probably be |
that the Sons OF Temperance and Odd |
Fellows will be clsssed under the |
head of "Secret Societies under the |
ban of the Church." The question on |
the establishment of consistory for |
the settlement of minor disputes |
arising between clergy and bishop |
will be discussed although no de- |
cision is looked for on this |
question. The archbishops entitled |
to seats at this weeks conference are:
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop OF |
Baltimore; Mopsignor Francis Satol.
Ii, Arch bishop of Lepsnto and Papal
