The founders of this society, in years to come, will look back upon to-night’s meeting with pleasure. It is said a priest of Christ should not stand here to speak of a cause which pro¬ poses to abolish this horrid crime of pov¬ erty, which is the injusfice of man, in violation of the laws of God. I would be recreant to my sacred priesthood if I should falter to speak the word which I am commanded by my Lord and Master to speak.” At the close of the services an anthem was sung by the choir and audience.

Brennon, the plaintiff, being sworn, said he never was a Fenian. He left the Land League, he said, in June, 1880, after a quarrel with its managers for opening his telegrams. He had not since that time joined any Irish league or association, or any Fenian league or asso¬ ciation. Be had never interfered with the work of tracing dynamiters.

A headline in the Standard asks: “ What does the archbishop do with his $40,000?” It is reported in Catholic cir¬ cles—and the report comes from an ap¬ parently reliable source—that the forth, coming statement attitude defining toward Archbishop Corrigan’s the Catholic Herald , phase and describing his stand on the present of the McGlynn matter and other topics that are uppermost in the minds of Catholics, will contain passages of a startling nature. DIPLOMATS QUARRELING. Considerable friction and bad feeling exists between the United States legation and consulate general, at London, Eng., the cause being the failure on the part of the legation to include either the consul general or his family in the official list furnished by Mr. Phelps to the lord chamberlain for court eutertainments. Mrs. Waller the wife of the consul gen¬ eral and her daughters are leaving for the United States, and will be ab sent from London throughout the whole of the jubilee festivities.
