CARDINAL GIBBONS.
HIS ALLEGED WITHHOLDING AN I'M
PORTANT LETTER DENIED.
The Facts In the Case of the Archiepisco-
pal Report-Expianation Of the
Apparent Delay.
lRY telegraph % the DIspstch.l

PnnADELPHIA. Pa, February 7.-Refer-
ring 10 tho recent dispatch from Chicago
alleging that Cardinal Gibbons purposeiy
withheld the letter which he was deputed
to forward 10 the Pope in the name OF the
Archbishops of this country until the ap-
pointment of the Apostolic Delegate had
been announced the Catholic Standard OF
to-day says editonally:
His Eminence the Cardinal and the
Most Rev. Archbishop of New York are
not in Philadelphia at the present time.
but we have their Joint authority for de-
claring this latest story to be wholly with
out foundation rs regards its facts and its
ugly insinuations. Archbishop Corrigan
is especially indignant at the gross i'm
putation upon his Eminence, and he utter
" repudiates and abhors the scandalous
publication.
THE FACTS.
1.-THE facts are simply these: The letter
not the report-whlch the Cardinal was
deputed 10 send to the Holy Father in the
name Of the American ArchbishOps related
70 two sublects-on his Holiness's golden
Jubilee and the other the recent confer
ence in New York. The former IA TO be
celebrated on the 18th of this month.
while the proceedings of the conference
to his Holiness by the secretary OF the
conference, Bishop Chappelle.
THE reasonable delay in transmitting
the Cardinals letter which has been al
ready explained. could have had no effect
whatever. therefore. IN hinderiDg or tur-
therIng the purpose Of the letter, ana that
there was any such motive for the delay,
as Is alleged, is certainly and absolutely
false"
THE TKPIAEATTOv
The explanation referred TO in the Sand
ards editorial Is substantially this: At the
close of the ArchlepiscoDel conference IN
New York in November last the assembled
prelates concluded 10 send Joint letter 20
the Holy Father concratulating him
upon bis approaching golden Jubilee
and touching upon other subjects re-
latlng TO their conference. Ihls letter was
to be formulated by the Cardinal and
Archbishop Corrigan, and BY the former
forwarded 10 Rome. Being formal letter
to the supreme head Of tine Church, II
could not be prepared with the same dis
patch as a business letter, but was subject
10 such DELAY as frequent exchange of the
original draft between New York and
Baltimore made unavoidable. The final
draft was not agreed upon until the lst or
January. when Archbishop COrrlgan sent
it to the Cardinal, who mailed It 70 Rome
on January 4th. The reference 20 MOnsignor
Satolli is disposed Of when it is remem-
bered that the latter shortly after the ad-
jOurnment of the conference officially re-
ported 10 the Vatican the substance OF the
ArchblshOp's deliberations and that fully q
month before Cardinal GlbbOns's letter
reached Rome the Holy Father knew eX-
actly the opinion of the MetrOpOltans of
tho United States on the proposition TO
establish permanent apostolic delegation
IN this country.
