Bnsed--A Suitable Residence Now
Assured to tho Delegate.


After some weeks of secrecy those
who have become aware why the Rev.
Richard Lalor Burtscll was not re-
stored to hts former parish Of the
Epiphany at the suggestion OF Mgr.
Satolli have allowed the explanation to
leak out.
The Apostolic Delegate wrote to
Archbishop Corrigan, suggesting that
DIR. Burtscll be restored to the Church
OF the Epiphany. This the Archbishop
OF New York did not do, and 1t was
generally believed that he had decided
to defy the Apostolic Delegate. This
is now known not to be true lie
simply outwitted Mgr. Satolli.
AS soon as Archbishop Corrigan
learned that the former parishioncrs,
friends and admirers OF Dr. Rurtsell
were going to send u petition to Mgr.
Satolli to restore DIR. Burtsell to his
former parish he wrote to the Propa-
sanda requesting that Mgr Satolli be
instructed not to receive the petition
or TO consider it. lie argued that as
the Propaganda had sustained his view
of the case and had given Judgment in
his favor it should not permit the
Apostolic Delegate to act In the case.
as it had been closed before his arrival
in this country. The Propaganda
granted the Archbishops request.
This course of the Archbishop OF New
York prevented the Apostolic Delegate
from carrying his good Intentions into
effect, and now new proceedings will
have To be instituted II DR.. Burtsell ex-
poets to be restored to his old parish.
While Archbishop Currigan was corrc-
spending with the Propaganda Mgr.
Satoiii received the petition for pr.
Burtsell's restoration, and wrote to the
ordinary Of this diocese expressing the
hope that he would see fit to restore DR..
Burtscll. When Archbishop Corrigan
was ready he told the Apostolic Delegate
that he had written to the Propaganda,
and Mgr. Statolli received Instructions
from the Propaganda not to interfere
in the case of DR.. Burtsell.
1t is stranLe that the reason alleged for
giving these orders to Mgr. Satolli was
hat til" case had been CLOSED before the
Delegate came here, for every case that
has been settled by him was closed be-
fore he came to this country.
1t is considered remarkable that the
Archbishop of New York should have
said in his address in the Cathedral, on
aug. 10. that he would receive and treat
with honor Il Delegate of the Holy See.
coming or going, when at the same time
he was doing what he could to take the
power of settling DR.. Burtselrs case out
of his hands.
That the Apostolic Delegate should
have visited New York when he knew
what had been done to take the settle
ment of the case of DR.. Buntsell out of
| his hands cannot be accounted for. Many
persons wonder, too. why he went u
the house of John ID. Crimmins with

the leader in the movement to get The

Burtseil will learn with regret that he
will be obliged to remain at Rondout.
He is suffering for being friendly TO DR..
McGlynn., When the latter was excom-
municated DR.. Burtsell was his counsel,
and the rector of Epiphany afterwards
still further offended his Archbishop by
his testimony in the suit against the Cal
vary Cemetery officials to compel them
to bury John Mcguire, who had dropped
dead in an Anti-Poverty meeting. Arch
bishop Corrigan remoN ed DR.. Burtsell In
1889, after the latter had appointed Miss
Kelly, an anti-Povertyite, as IA teacher
in Epiphany Sunday school. DR.. Burt
sell refused to go. The case was tried
in Rome, and DIR. Burtsell was beaten.
Then he was sent to Rondout.
WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-THE arrival
in this country of DR.. Rocker from
Rome on. a special mission from the
Pope to Archbishop Satolli adds to the
pleasure felt in Catholic circles here
over some important information re-
ceived from Chicago touching the well
fare of the Church in America.
The question relating to the building
or purchase of an official residence here
for the Apostolic Delegate was discussed
This proposition, made months before,
had languiShed. The subscriptions were
insignificant in amount. and the matter
was in "A discourag!ng state. A suita-

completed, will be more pretentious than
that of the Legation OF any foreign
government at this capital. except Great
