Keane formerly possessed in the sacred college, and that the antagonism of both to the monastic orders has been chiefly re- sponsible for the overturning of thelr in- fluence at the Vatican.” Bishop Keane's Successor. “The deposition of Bishop Keane means that the influence of Archbishop Ireland and of his friends will hereafter count for little at the Vatican or with the propa- ganda at Rome. The next rector of the col- lege is certain to be an ecclesiastic who has been coatroversially opposed to Archb'shop Ireland and to Bishop Keane in regard to their views of the treatment of the school question in this country. Bis Keane's refusal to accept position at Rome with a revenue fitted to his rank is taken among the Catholic clergymen here, notwithstand- ing his filial letter te the pope, as an dence of his quiet resentment at the treat- ment which he has received. “It can be said, however, that a number of those interested in the Catholic Univer- sity throughout the country, who have been much more conservative than Bishop Keane in their views, and some of whom are of foreign birth and education, express pleasure at the action of Rome with regard to the president of the Catholic University. They do not hesitate to say that Bishop Keane has been too liberal, or, as they call it, too American, in his conduct of the af- fairs of the university, too narrow toward his opponents, and that he has failed to recognize that the church has littie or nothing to do with nationalities except to adapt its policy to the countries in which it is pursuing its work.

This deposition of Bishop Keane ts significant.” Victory for the Ultramontanes. The New York Herald in its Washing- ton correspondence today prints the fol- lowing: Public interest in this latest chapter of church history does not abate. With a large and increasing circle of observers it has for the time superseded interest in national politics. The belief has grown until it now amounts to a conviction that the arrival of Mgr. Martinelli, and more now frienc especially the removal of Bishop Keane from the rectorship of the university, Is the outward sign of an inward m ment which is to shake the entire American hierarchy. “Fo us who have closely watched events for the last tive years,” an eminent Roman Catholic layman said to me tonight, “the deposition of Bishop Keane means’ noth- ing less than a restoration of the supre- y of the ultramontane or clerical party n church. As such, it must as the most tmportant event Yy of the church since Arch- bishop Ireland appealed to Rome to sustain ainst the ‘clericals,’ and especial- hbishop of New York, in the fa- mous school question Archbishop Ireland's Mission. will be recalled that on that occa- sion the archbishop of St. Paul won, or seemed to win, a notable victory. He pro- cured an utterance from Rome, which his friends professed to regard as an indorse- ment of himself and a rebuke for Arch- bishop Corrigan. The appointment of car- dinal, then archbishop, Satolli, which fol- lowed soon afterward, was known to be agreeable to Mgr. Ireland, and in opposi- tion to the ex ed wishes of the ultra- montane archbishops. ‘ow, it appears, Archbishop Corrigan has found at the Vatican a reaction of sentiment in his favor. It would, perhaps, be too much to say that after five years’ waiting he has his revenge. For if any- thing is clear it is that the arrival of Mgr. Martinelli, and especially the removal of Bishop Keane, is distasteful to the Ire- land party. “Many evidences of this are to be found even on the surface. To begin with, it is obviots that the deposition of the rector was not only a shock but a surprise to him and his friends. Not one of them seems to have had the slightest forewarning of the event. Bishop Keane, with admirable self-control, has cloaked his chagrin in Professions of loyalty to the holy see, but it must not be forgotten that, without de- lay and without answering, he declined the empty honor of a titular archbishopric, the offer of which accompanied his sudden dismissal. Position of the St. Paul Prelate.’ “With less reserve the archbishop of St. Paul, whose impetuosity long since won for him the sobriquet of the ‘Sanctffied Blizzard,’ has permitted himself to express for publication both his surprise and his anger. He has even said the removal of Bishop Keane ‘means death to the univer- sity,’ and that the rector ‘might be re- stored at the next meeting of the directors this mn.’ Archbishop Ireland is one of the directors of the university, and Bishop removed by a letter bearing the of Leo NII. His grace of St. Paul thus appears in the extraordinary positicn of a prelate rebuking in one breath the holy see and in the next propos- ing to undo an act of the sovereign pontiff himself. Such utterances are, of course, to be explained only on the hypothesis of very strerg mental perturbation. “Bishop Keane's relations with Arch- bishop Ireland ard the relations of both to Cardinal Gibvons are well understood. The cardinal’s high position, as well as his con- summate adroitness, has enabled him to keep great measure aloof from a con- flict which has involved nearly all the other members of the hierarchy. But his sympathies have very generally been con- sidered to be on the liberal side. And, in- d, we have, within a week, seen’ the publicly bestowing Superlative praise (which was doubtless well deserved) upen the man whom ultramontane Intlu- ence at the Vatican is virtually. conceded to have removed from office. The tongues of Ligh ecclesiastics—if we except Arc bishop Ireland—are ticd by high etiquette. Cardinal Gipbons couid not have been ex- pected to say directly and in public that the removal of Bishop Keane was likely to prove inimical to the fnterests of the uni- versity. Martinelli and Gibbons. “Mgr. Martinelli has not, of course, been long enough in America to afford to us lay- men a view of his attitude toward the par- ties in the American hierarchy.

' EXCITEMENT OVER HIS VISIT KEEPS UP The Russian Ruler Visits the Points of Interest. HOPES OF THE FRENCH ————— (Copyright, 1806, by the Associated Press.) , PARIS, October 7.—All Paris is again in holiday attire today, and in spite of the cloudy weather, the streets are packed with hundreds of thousands of sightseers, many of whom have not been to bed all night. The excitement over the visit of the czar and czarina to the French capital shows no signs of waning, and, in fact, the enthusi- asm appears to be increasing. The news- papers of all classes and political beliefs express the very highest satisfaction with the speeches made by the ezar, especially the one at the Elysee Palace, and the press of this city finds in the fact that his ma, esty left cards at the residences of the president of the senate, M. Loubet, and the president of the chamber of deputies, M. Brisson, indications that the czar has formally expressed his acceptance of: the forms and sequences of a republican re- gime. ‘The Figaro sums up the general opinion of the newspapers on the situation in an editorial today, in which it says: “Conclusive acts and definite words have now been exchanged, and it is probavle that they will be completed at Chalon; but zh to convince Europe of our Than Words Ex Unprejudiced spectators of the state entry. ed. of the czar into Paris saw in the mourning- draped figure of Strasburg and the repeated cries of YAlsace-Lorraine” an intimas tion to and ally of France that something than mets words the nch people 2s the pr und that has s has a long- with Germany, a tisfacto: unt to til the lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine 1 portion of French territ people who imagine that Jing castles in Spain if she Hy believes that Russia will at i draw the sword to her in 2 paign of i against the empire This was the 1 during which th were to lay the first stone of the new Ale ander IL bridge, which will serve for the Paris exhibition of 1900.

It Is reported that he was con- siderably indisposed after the performance at the opera last night. His sickness. is attribuied to the strain of travel. His majesty was quite pale today, and his de- meanor was serious. On the other hand, the czarina was fresh, bright and as cheerful as ever, bowing and 1g in response to the storms of ap- plause from the crowds, while his majys:y contented himself with now and then touching his cap in a military salute. Her majesty wore a simple dress of gray, a mantle trimmed with beautiful lace, and a toque of gray silk and gauze, set off with a white aigrette. At the Gothic door of the cathedral a superbly uniformed Cossack * descended from the box of the landau and assisted their majesties to alight. At the windows of the hospital known us the Hotel Dieu, overlooking the Ca- thedral of Notre Dame, there were crowds ef patients who eagerly watched the ar- 1 and departure of the imperial couple. 3 At Napoleon’s Tomb. The imperial guests arrived at the Hotel Des Invalides at 11:30 a.m., and found a large concourse of generals awaiting to re- ceive them. Their majesties visited the tomb of Napeleon, before which the czar tarried for a moment in silent contempla- tion. The czar and czarina afterward view- ed the chapel, infirmary, refectory and ar- tillery museum. They left the building by the cour d’hontleour, where the generals and the pensioners were drawn up in their honor. Their majesties then returned to the Ru: sian embassy, where they partook of 1 cheon. As during the earlier parts of the day, all the streets traversed by the imperial Vis- itors were thronged with people, who ac- corded them an unceasing ovation. What France Hopes. A semi-official note tssued this afternoon says that the czar in private has displayed great satisfaction and deep emotion at the brilliant fetes inaugurated here in honor of his visit and that of the czarina. In addition, the opinion is expressed in semi-official circles today that these fetes will assuredly contribute to cement the union of France and Russia in a durable manner. LONDON, October 7.—The St. James Ga- zette this afternoon publishes a dispatch from Paris saying that the performance at the opera yesterday evening terminated abruptiy in the middle of the ballet, owing to the illness of the czarina, which, it is said, was occasioned by the bad cooking at the Elysee Palace. Comment of the Diplomats. The members of the diplomatic corps who have so far returned to Washington after their summer vacation are discussing with earnestness the events attending the tour of the czar, and are today considerably stirred by the happenings of yesterday in Paris, from which they are drawing import- ant conclusions, by contrasting the recep- tion with what had gone before. at ofher capitals. Oke tof’ them recalled the fact that at Berlin, Vienna and London the czar was singularly irresponsiye to toasts and spéech®s, commending the growth of fra- ternal relatitms between his empire and the countries of which these cities are capitals.

Lasbnight soon after sundown, when’ one of the Baltimcre trains pulled out ef the Baltimoré and Ohio depot, Special Officer John, Greer noticed on the ‘platform of a car two passengers whom he thought had not paid their passage. The train was stopped, and the two passengers,young men, Were taken off and placed under arrest, They were fairly well dressed, but were without funds. The officer could not dis- Three cover the usual earmarks of tramps abdit them, but he thought they migit stand in- vestigating, and so he took them to the sixth precinct station. There they gave their names as Harry and Jacob Fisher, aged, twenty. and seventeen years, respect- ively. Harry had a revolver on him, while hts brothér ‘had two candles. In the station last night the young men attracted considerable attention because of their gentlemanly appearance, as welt as because of their dime novel stories. Today they were taken into the Police Court, and Judge Miller heard their cases. He soon concluded that the young men had been reading dime novels, and that they were’ going to make material for another story. “I came here with my brother from Portsmouth, Va. said Harry in response to the ccurt’s question. “And why did you'have this weapon on you?" 3 “We werd! going to travel and thought we might weed it for protection at some tim: » “Trevel where?” “To Africt.” '! fe “Africa?” queried the court In aston- ishment, “why- the world were you go- ing there? ‘Have you been reading dime novels 9 3 - “No, your hottor,” he answered, “but business is-dull at home, and we thought we might better‘éur condition there.” Doing what?” “Anythingto get bread anil’ meat.’* “They don't edt bread and meat down there,” said thé judge, “and if you go there you'lj,be Jycky if the wild animals in the jungie don't make bread and meat of you.

The inquest to determine the responsibil- ity for the death of James Fitzgerald, who wes crushed in the ruins of the Bez building, after a continuous session of seven hours, adjourned at 6 o'clock last evening to meet again at 2 o'clock this af- ternoon. After The Star’s report of the hearing closed the examination of Mr. E. J. Brown, a carpenter and builder, was proceeded with. Among other things, Mr. Brown was asked by the attorney for the District, Mr. Thomas: “Have you ever done any work for Mr. Beatty?” “I have,” promptly replied the witness. “I erected the front of his building for him.” “Has he paid you for doing the work?” was the next inquiry of the attorney. Yes, sir; he paid me promptly.” “Mr. Coroner,” interrupted Mr, Beatty, “I object most emphatically to that ques- tion. Mr. Brown is here as an expert, and Mr. Thomas is endeavoring by every means possible to convey to the jury the im- putation that he is dishonest.”” “That is right,” sald a member of. the jury, rising. “It is highly improper to ask such a question as that.” “I think order should be insisted on here,” remarked Mr. Thomas. “I understand that Mr. Beatty has some feeling in this mat- ter. If he cannot restrain himself—" “If the coroner so desires, he has the privilege of putting me out of the room,” retorted Mr. Beatty, with a display of spiri Nothirg further was said, and Mr. Brown gave way,to Mr. William H. Oliver, a me- chanic an\ builder, who is employed as an inspector at the new city post office build- ing. Mr. Oliver gave it as his opinion that if the west wall of the Abert building had been properly built and tied it would have been standing today. Mr. Oliver stated that he made an examination of the ruins merely cut of curiosity. He examined a specimen of the mortar submitted in evi- dence, and declared that if any cement was included in its make-up the proportion was very small. At this point Architect Brown entered the room with two bricks, to which mortar was attached. He proceeded direct to the jury and handed the specimens to the body, with a request that they examine the same. Again Mr, Beatty was on his feet in an instant. ““T must obsect to this latest pro- ceeding,” he said, addressing himself to the coroner. “Who knows where those bricks came from? Has any proof been introduced to show that they were a part of the Abert wall?” Without further ado the jurymen who bad the bricks under examination set them on the floor. Mr. John B. Brady, the ins) ings of the District’ of Columbia, was the next witness. When asked whether or not the Abert building was constructed in ac- cordance with the building regulations of the District, Mr. Brady replied with much earnestness, sir, in every respect, so far as my personal knowledge goe: Continuing, Mr. Brady stated that the wall was properly tied, explaining that the beams, not the floor joists, are required to be anchored in the wall. Mr. Brady gave a technical explanation of the plan of the building, adding that had it not been con- structed in strict accordance with the build- ing regulations the plans would not have been approved. The witness characterized the mortar as good. Jonn Henderson, a builder of forty ye experience, testified that he made a ctor of build- rs’ ful examination of the collapsed portion of the building and found nothing that could be called an anchor. a civil engineer in the ing architect of the sury Department, gave it as his opin- jon that the coliapsed wall was not an- chored as required by the building regula- nor was it bonded at e' y fifth According to Mr. Berle, the work .” ‘The mortar used, he said, If the r ations had been prop garded, said the witnes: the wall would have re ted the storm. Mr. B. C.
