morning from Washington. The bill
against the alleged beef trust will be

NEW YORK. May THE funeral
of the late Archbishop Corrigan Fri
day will be splendidly solemn af-
| fair. 1t will have all marks of re-
spect due the highest prelate of the
church on account that, according to
secret opinion. Archbishop Corrigan
was to have been given the red hat
next month. Pope Leo is deeply af-
| fected over Archbishop Corrigan's
| death, who, as young man was edu-
Gated under Leo's eye in Italy, and
whose course has been steadily watch

of the church. Rome had decided to
make the archbishop a cardinal last

vailing in the American hierarchy
prevented. The intention to bestow
| the red hat upon Archbishop Corrigan

church circles, but death has forbid
den the honor. A second cardinal for
America, however, has been decided
upon, but as it cannot go to the
archbishop of the most densely popu-
lated Catholic diocese in America, it
will probably go to Archbishop Ireland
of St Paul, who was, in any event, 1t
is said, to have been made n part OF
