ing against the unfortunate influence
obtained by Archbishop Ireland at
Rome, and against Monsignor Satollis
interference in American Catholic af-
fairs, which is described as offensive and
annoying.
At length the friends OF the Arch
bishop of St. Paul became con-
vinced that Archbishop Corrigan
was the center Of the pro-
paganda whose purpose it is to dis
credit Archbishop Ireland in the esti-
nation of the Catholics OF America and
the vatican, and create such alarm at
the vatican as may result in the recall
of Monsignor Satolli and reversal of the
pope's expressed policy in respect to re-
ligious education in America.
coRRIGAN REFUSES TO TALK.
New YORK, Jan. 8.-Archbishop Cor
rigan refused today to discuss the pub
lished statement that Archbishop Ire
land had sent charges to Rome accusing
the New York prelate of conspiracy
with others to defeat Satolli's mission
to this country and injure Archbishop
Ireland. The archbishop said he de-
clined to discuss any such questions In
the newspapers, and that if any charges
had been preferred against him, it
would be time enough to consider them
when he received official notice of their
existence.
Father Lavelle dictated the following
statement: "With regard to the article,
have only this to say on my part, at
present. Archbishop Corrigan and the
bishops, priests and people who believe
with him in this controversy, yield to
no men in the world in point of respect
and loyalty to the holy see and its ac-
capted representative. Mgr. Satolli."

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Monsignor .Sa-
tolli remained in Washington today and
did not go to New York to take part in
the feast of st. Agnes, at which it was
stated both he and Archbishop Corrigan
would oficiate. Monsignor Satolli ab-
'solutely declined to say anything on the
Corrigan publication, holding it would
be improper for him to do 30.
THE POPE HOLDS TO HIS POLICY.
ROME, Jan. 8.-The vatican has
caused an inquiry to be made into the
motives and the extent of the opposi-
tion to the Satolli mission. The pope
holds absolutely to the policy that ecce
siastica1 affairs in the United States
shall develop themselves along moderate
lines and in spirit of harmony with
the institutions of the United States.
From official sources your correspondent
learns that all the srchbishops who
took part in the New York conference
affirmed the fourteen scholastic propo-
sails which Monsignor Satolli placed be-
fore them in the name OF the pope.

New YoRK, Jan. 8.-Cooper Union
was crowded tonight with people anxi-
GUS to hear DR.. McGlynn's Sunday
address. Before beginning his remarks,
he defined his own position with regard
to the Union Labor party and the anti
poverty society. and then said: 'It is
kindly and gracious of Arch bishop Sat-
olli to rebuke the taking up of the old
controversy on the day Of peace and
good will. am very much touched by
his charity, and am thankful for it; but
justice requires that should state that
the things attributed to me in the pub
lication referred to by Archbishop
Satolli, were never said by me. For
instance, I never called the pope 'old
woman or 'old lady, nor did ever
call him poor old bag of bones.' 1
