Show ,,1U NOT BE A CAKDINAL. Archbishop Corrigan goe. to Rom. to see About McGlyun. New Yoiik, May 5.-Prominent Cath-o Cath-o o lajmen say thH there is not the lightest likelihood that Archbishop Co ugan. ot this city, is to be made a Caulmal, Rumors to this effect h:ive been persistently circulated for some time, hat the talk has all been on this side of tho water. Private letters from Rome are to the effect that no American Ameri-can Cardinal will be created for some timo to come, and when the appointment is made tho choice will likely to go the West and Archbishop Arch-bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, will be honored hon-ored with the red hat. Archbishop Cor-ngan's Cor-ngan's friends do not deny that they are extremely anxious that Con-ian should be chosen, but they have little nopo of his success. In the event that Archbishop Ireland should not bo named a Canadian would probably be selected. It now transpires that Cor-rigau's Cor-rigau's visit to Rome is for tho purpose of settling somo differences of opinion in his dioceso and incidentally to tell all ho knows about the trouble with Dr. McGlynn. Corrigan will make a strong case against McGlynu. He is as shrewd a pleader as any lawyer in this town, convincing in his logic, and perhaps the best informed in-formed man in these parts on the Catholic Cath-olic church law. Those who know him say he is as firm as any follower of Zeno could be. He never loses his temper, is kind hearted and a delightful delight-ful conversationalist. His clean-cut face denotes tho ascetic and student. He has 500 priests under his immediate control, and lives the life of a Spartan in tho pretty white marble house in the rear of tho great cathredral on Fifth avenue. |
