stay the reverned gentlemen were guests at
the episcopal residence.
A representative Of the MORNING NEWS
called there and had 9 pleasant half-hour's
interview with Or McGlynn. He spoke
freely Of bis troubles with Archbishop
Corrlgap and his recent restoration 90 all bis
priestly functions by Mgr. Satolll, the
papal delegate TO America
DR.. McGlynn said il was largely due to
Bishop Moore that the stigma placed upon
him by Archbishop Corrigan had been re-
moved. ave have been friends" said the
priest, "since the days when Bishop Moore
aud myself were students at Rome, and he
proved himself a true friend indeed in the
time Of my trouble. Bishop Moore wrote
numerous letters TO Rome in my behalf,
and laid my case before the propaganda in
such shape that it attracted the attention
of Pope Leo 10 a full investigation, which
led to my complete restoration by his
worthy representative.
BISHOP MOORE HIS FRIEND.
"Bishop Moore, - continued DR.. MoGlynn,
twas the fret man besides Mgr. Satolli, Rev.
DR.. Burtsell, my attorney, and myself to
hear of my restoration. Mgr. Satolh an
nounced his decision Dec. % at 9 O'Clock at
night and few minutes later DR.. Burtsell
wired Bishop Moore. He replied next day
with congratulations and an invitation to
visit him, which he followed with visit to
me. The result is that / am going to Flor
ida with Bishop Moore to deliver Lenten
sermons and lectures at the cathedral In S.
Augustine, at Jacksonville aud other points.
II will remain in Florida probably till
after Lent and then return to New York
and deliver series of lectures to my Anti
Poverty Society people. Early in the sum-
mer ] expect to 60 to Rome to thank
the holy father in person for his
kindness toward me. l hope TO be accom-
panied on that trip by Bishop Moore, which
will make it doubly pleasant one.
II AN not going TO Rome for any further
trial of my case, though said DR.. Nc
Glynn. THAT is settled forever. l have
been invited to visit Rome, not ordered
aud could excuse myself from heinvlra-
ton if / desired, but my friends think as /
do, that IL would be only right for me to see
the holy father and express my thanks to
him.
ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN NOT CONSIDERED
WAS Archbishop Corrgsn present at
any Of the negotiations about your case
with Mgr Satolhp
NO" replied DIR. McGlynn. my case
&l,lh - N,1IF
ence to him. He was taken at his word
about the case being out OF his hands. Just
after my deposition Archbishop Corrigan
published a three-column card IN the news
papers reviewing my case from his stand
point from the time | made some land
league speeches which he said had
caused unfavorable criticism from Cardinal
Simeoni to my connection with the labor
movement in New York. when in public
speech reiterated my belief in similar doc
trines. After denouncing my views az dan
gerous and necessary for condemn alton
from him Archbishop CorrlgAn concluded
bis statement by saying: His case is now
entirely out of my hands and 10 the hands
of the holy father,
Therefore, in the negotiations between
Mgr. Satolli, DR.. Burtsell aud myself the
case was treated exactly from that stand
point without reference to the archbishop.
A few days, however after the restoration,
officially Of what had been done, and /
hardly think there can be any grievance
over that point.
NO RETRACTIoN ASKED.
"Do you mind speaking Of the terms Of
the restoratioDp
mot at all,n pleasantly responded Dr.
McGlynn. ut was full and free with
out any demand for retraction Of any Of
the principles or views which led TO my de-
yal a.
of my doctrines or cut away from my Anti
Poverty Society. Mgr Satolh had me furnish
him my side of the trouble with a sum
mary Of the doctrines publicly announced
and the object of the Auti-Poverty Society,
and after investigating them be granted
me full restoration to priestly power with
out any demands.
at is great blessing to the American
church TO have Mgr. Satolh with
US permanently said DR.. MoGlynn 1.-THE
church, as everybody knows, is ruled from
Rome. and whenever any dispute arose in
the past the expense of appealing aud go
ing to Rome was extremely costly aud in
many instances unsatisfactory, because she
appealing priest would be away from his
witnesses and friends. Now, however,
everything will go TO Mgr. Satolli. He has
already settled several cases Of long-staud-
ing besides my own. He is a broad, liberal
man. fully in accord with the holy fathers
liberal ideas.
MGR. sAToLLI's KIND WORDS.
mgr. Satolll wrote me a very pleasant
letter a short time ago. from which the fol-
lowing is an extract:

dinner with Mgr. Satolli, which the news
papers had generously called banquet.
