PRIESTS OF THE DIOCESE IN TIL
EvENING-rLANs FOR TO-DAY.
The celebration of the Feast of the Assumption
Of the Blessed Virgin Mary at st. Patrick's
Cathedral yesterday attended by fully 10000
persons. The fact that Monsienor Satolli and
Archbishop Oorrigan were to take part in the
ceremonies was what caused the attendance t..
be- so large. Great numbers of the friends and ad-
mirers Of Dr. McGlynn in the throng in and
about the cathedral. Many expressions of warm
sympathy with the restored priest were heard,
and his picture had enormous sale in the streets
about the biz white cdifce.
1t had been announced that Archbishop Corri-
gan would deliver Al address. In view of the
fact that he has for sOmc time been considered
one of those who are opposed to Monsignor Satolii

epired or allowed others to inspire the many
attacks which have appeared from time to tim"
against the Apostolic Delegate and his mission ms

treat from his position. II he was not RESPONSE

ers. who attacked the representative of the Pope
In America because they thought that he ma
offended the Archbishop by restoring DIR. McGlynn.
SYMPATHY WITH THE ARCHBISHOP.
However. since it has seemed that Archbishop
Corrigan was opposed to Monsignor Satolli. many
persons felt deeply for the Archbishop because
they thought he had been obliged to make the
address. What he said was simply ac<nowl-

The reading vsibly affected him. At times
he would stop as if 10 clear his throat. Many
persons insisted that he sobbing Whe'hei
