RIGHT REV. DKAK BlSHOP— Having re
ceived kindly suggestions from mutual friends
who have consulted you und extended to aie
advice that 1 highly appreciate, 1 am glal to |
yield whatever may justly be expected of me to
put an end to this controversy.
Nothing would give me more annoyance than |
to have been guilty of violating tin respect due
to you and also to the Most Ii \ . Metropolitan
Archbishop Corrigan, and wherever I have uu- |
intentionally gone beyond proper bounds I
hereby express my regret for it and pray both',
of you to overlook it.
1 believe that you have tried to be just in the
administration of your diocese, and 1 urn satis
fied that whatever mistakes you may have
made did not proceed from malice.
As to the future, you need have no apprehen
sion that I have any intention of attacking
yourself or your government in the papers.
Your scrvaut in Christ,
PATRICK CORRIGAN*.
DEAR FATHER CORRIGAN- I hereby accept
cheerfully the apology that you have written
and which Very Rev. Dean Flynn and Father 1
Cody have just brought to me. I hereby dis
continue the trial and wish you every blessing.
Yours very sincerely,
W. M. WIOOER, Bishop of Newark.

long to lay down his arms on any terms.
The friends of Father Corrigan thought
that he had won not only a personal vic
tory, but a substantial 1 riiimph for the en
tire priesthood.

New York ami New Fngluml Buys tlie
Connecticut ltivor Rouil.
BOSTON, Dec. 17.—The action of Vice
President F. 11. Prince, of the New York 1
and New England railroad, in purchasing
the Connecticut River railroad after it had |
been unanimously leased by the directors i
and turned over to the operating depart- j
ment of the New Haven road is regarded |
as one of the most brilliant coups ever ;
made in the New England railroad field. '
! The Connecticut lliver road is the main
north and south artery of central New j
England, and its acquisition would have
1 been of value to almost any line in New
England, front the Canadian Pacific to the
New Haven road. Its lease by the New
Haven was another direct blow at the New
York and New England, which the New ,
Haven has so long desired at its own price. I
Republican Senators in Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—At the caucus of
Republican senators speeches were made
by Messrs. Sanders, Perkins, Duboise,
Warren, Mauderson, Paddock, Hoar, Hale, J
llawley, Morrill, Carey and Sherman.
The western members declared that the i
Democratic "steering committee" had no I
foundation for the claim that the Repub- !
licaus were about to steal the legislatures !
from the Democrats in Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming and
California lor the very good reason that
in none of the states mentioned did the I
Democrats have sufficient votes to elect a

THE NEWS OF CONGRESS.
WEnit tlie Senate ami House Are Dolug 1
for the Country.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—At the joint sea- !
sion of the immigration committees of the
senate and house it was shown that there
was u general feeling iu favor of suspend
ing all immigration to this country for
periods varying from one to five years. |

mous opinion of the committee which had
taken testimony in New York and else- l
where on the subject that immigration
should be entirely suspended.

the army appropriation bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—A very strong

and Mr. Washburn made a determined but
fruitless elfort to have a day next week
fixed for a vote upon it.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—The senate passed
bills authorizing the sale of the lauds of the
Brooklyn navy yard and of the lands iu the
vicinity of Fort Milllin, Del. Mr. Bate
made a speech in favor of the bill author
izing the employment of federal supervisors
and special deputies at elections. An effort
was made by Mr. Blackburn to have the
Hudson river bridge bill taken up. As
that would have had the parliamentary
effect of sidetracking the antioption bill,
the effort was successfully resisted by Mr.
Washburn and the friends of the latter
measure.
Mr. Blackburn's motion was slated by
the very decisive vote of 13 to4l. Theanti- i
option bill was then taken up and was uu- i
der consideration until the time of adjourn- i
ment, when it went over without action.
Mr. Palmer made an argument against
it, chiefly on the constitutional ground that >
congress had no power to define and punish |
by legislation criminal offenses in states,
such power resting exclusively in the states
themselves.
The house adjourned without acting on
any important measure. One of the Dem
ocratic leaders of the house stated that none
would he passed until after the holiday

And when these cries resound through
out France then the accused men are lost.
