Father Corrigau told u JERSEY CITY
NEWS reporter when seen in Hoboken
last evening concerning the mention
made by Pastor Scudder on Sunday
night relative to the Parochial School
Bill. that he will not bother much over
the matter.
II know that Mr.. Scudder likes to have
his sensatiops, aud / suppose this iu-
intended for one OF them. Il does not
worry me and shall not take the troubie
to take make any retutation OF any kind
OF an answer. When Mr.. Scudder says
that had anything to do, except In a sec
ondary nature, with that bill. he Is miss
was entrusted the passage oi the bill
10 secure part Of the State school appro1
priation for the parochlal school, allowed
the matter to drag slowly. and some or
the Catholic ciergYmen were forced to
pursue vigorous course in the matter.
Perhaps foremost among them was the
Rev. Dean Flynn of Morristown, who
labofed constantly in behalf Of the
matter.
ORIGIN OF THE BILL.
About the beginning of this year a few
clergymen OF the diocese Of Trenton.
stimulated by the proposition OF the
Apostolic Delegate, Monsignor Satolli,
concluded TO agitaIe the division of State
funds for the benefit of the par chial
schools. They did not assume
to pose as suppliants to cir-
cumvenr the laws OF the State. but
were convinced that an net establish ing
system of public instruction was In
tended primarily and solely for the edu-
cation of the poor caiIdren. and was in
tended to include the $4,000 parochial
school attendants. who were not an in>
considerable portion of that class.
"These clergYmen. therefore. deter
mined to have supplement- to the act
properly drawn up and presented to the
Legislature.
SMITH DREW THE BILL.
A shrawd aud careful lawyer drew up
the papers, James Smith. Jr.. then not as

Senator was heartily in accord with the
bill, wheu Dean O'Grady Of New Bruns-
wick called upon him, and informed him
of the movement on foot. The Senator
appeared much Interested in the pro-
posed bill. The clergymen decided TO
secure the good will of members
of the Newark diocese, aud. II

of any acquaintance wisn Assemblym.n.
"That is the truth of tine matter. II

ME certain Instructions from the United
S ates Government on the Hawaiian
situation. but since my arrival contin-
geucies have arisen. about which neither
yN9he United States Government nor my
self were aware when I left Washington.
have thought best to submit these mat
ters to Washington before proceeding
further TO carry out my original instruc-
tious. No one need fear trouble aud ne
lawlessness will De permitted"
BoYALIsTS DIsPLEAsED.
This stateaent gave the annexatiou-
lists much satisfaction, and the royalists
were much displeased. Ga account OF
the many ruGnol current of the contsm-
plated action of the Queens supporters
the Provisional Government found Ii
necessary to keep two com aaieS OF SOL
diers under arms for several niRa5s after
the Alameda sailed.
Continuing. Minister Willis said
Il mean until the time couas for me
10 carry out my instructions. the peace
aud good order of this community will
be kept undisturbed In the interests of
humanity; that any attempt made by
Ruy person or persons to make
trouble will be promptly checked
aud punished. You may put tne
matter more plainly and say that even If
the Provisional Governments discharged
all its troops today no l:wlsasuess woald
be allowed for one moment uuder she
present situation of affairs. The whole
Hawaiian question ID now In absyaucs
and nothing that newspapers eau sav or

After this statement ruInors began to
fly about that the Qusen's supporters
would make final rally In her behalf.

In readiness to be landed on moments
notice.
The Queens advocate came out next
day witt denial of Willis interview, say
ing that he-was misquoted. and by
inference gave encouragement to the idea
that Willis had or would receive an inn
perative order to restore the Queen.
