A special dispatch from this city in the Baltimore Sun today gives what purports to be a review of the future position “Bishop Keane will occupy in the Roman Catholic Church and the story of the mis- understanding alleged to exist between Cardinal Satolli and Dr. Rooker. The arti- cle is as follows: The friends of the Rt. Rev. J. J. Keane, ex-rector of the Catholic University, are very much pleased over the prospect that he will shortly be given a high position in the church. The most powerful influences are at work toward this end and success is looked for at an early date. Simulta- neously with this announcement comes the rumor that Rev. Dr. F. Z. Rooker, the secretary of the apostolic delegation, will shortly be removed. This rumor comes from the same sources which declared six months ago that Bishop Keane was to be deposed. In speaking tonight with a representa- tive of the Sun regarding the future of Bishop Keane, a well-known prelate said: “Bishop Keane will be well taken care of. He will soon receive an important office in the church.” This prelate declined to state positively just what office was con- templated, but gave the impression that Bishop Keane would be made an archbishop and a see would be provided for him in this country. ‘What will make his promo- tion more striking and more satisfactory to his friends,” continued the Sun's in- formant, “is the manner in which he ac- cepted his deposal from the rectorship of the university and his polite declination of an archbishopric. 1 cannot give the par- ticulars at present, but Bishop Keane has not been deserted by his friends and his future is assured.” An Allowance Opposed. From another authority it was learned that at the meeting of the board of di- rectors of the university last week a move- ment was set on foot to make an allow- ance to Bishop Keane. This did not meet with the wishes of Cardinal Gibbons, who said he would see that Bishop Keane was provided for in the future, and on this account the idea was dropped. Just what Cardinal Gibbons proposes to do is as yet a secret, but now that the head of the church in America has taken the case in his hands and promised his personal at- tention, Bishop Keane's friends are con- fident that his case will be satisfactorily adjusted. Some time ago it was announced in the Sun that if the friends of Bishop Keane failed to obtain the proper recognition from the board of directors they might send a representative to Rome to lay the true state of affairs before Leo XIII. This may yet be done. Although it was suposed that the matter was entirely settled, it ap- pears about to crop out again, for the op- ponents of Bishop Keane are saying that he is practically dead tn the church. They are counting heavily on his refusal to ac- cept an archbishopric, and his giving to the press the correspondence between the pope and himself as prejudicing Leo XIII against him. “It was not showing proper respect for the supreme authority,” they say, “and it will be held up against him in the fu- ture.” In the meantime, Bishop Keane will re- main at San Jose, Cal., with his friend, Mr. P. J. O'Connor, and he has received many assurances of friendship. He has had of- fers made him which provide for his fu- ture, elther in the church or out. The Attack on Dr. Rooker. In regard to the attack about fo be made on Dr. Rooker, it is openly stated that Car- dinal Satolli said before leaving this city that one of the first things he would do on reaching Rome would be to have Dr. Rooker removed. It is also reported that Cardinal Satolli took offense because De. Rooker suppressed the famous Pottsville speech. The history of the Pottsville epi- sode has never been fully given. In fact, it is one which would require the genius of a “Sherlock Holmes” to unravel. Cardinal Satolli went to Pottsville under the chaperonage of Mgr. Schroeder, the professor of dogmatic theology at the uni- versity, to make an address to the Ger- mans of tnat city. Hé made an address in Italian. It was translated by Mgr. Schroe- der first into German and then into Eng- lsh. In the latter form it was published in several Catholic papers. It was in this speech that Cardinal Satolli gave the first intimation of his change of attitude on many questions. The speech was _ hailed with delight by the German and certain other Catholic papers. The cardinal re- turned to Washington, and some time later Father Slattery of Baltimore determined to publish the second edition of Cardinal Sa- tolli's addresses in this country. The edi- tion came out, but in some manner the Pottsville speech was not included in the book. Dr. Rooker Not Responsible. This incident created much comment. Dr. Rooker, as secretary of the delegation, was the one who would naturally handle the speech, and it was openly charged that as a friend of certain parties he suppressed the speech. Up to this time Dr. Rooker had not seen fit to make public his con- nection with the matter, but when in- formed of the statement that this might cause his removal, he gave to the repre- sentative of the Sun an authoritative de- nial that he was in any way responsible for the absence of the speech from the col- lection. He did not handle the manuscript of the speech, nor did he prepare the col- lection for publication. ‘The case, then, remains thus: Cardinal Satolli says he sent the speech to Father Slattery. Father Slattery says he never received it. Dr. Rooker says he had noth- ing to do with it. The speech is gone, and no trace can be found of it. Cardinal Sa-. tolli will soon be in Rome, if he is not al- ready there, and it is expected that further developments will occur shortly. The ap- pointments for the various vacant bishop- rics are not looked for before the meeting be the propaganda, which is now in vaca- tion. a Mr. Cleveland and the South. To the Editor of The Evening Stor: On reading your editorial article, “Mr. Cleveland and the South,” it occurs to me that that section is overdoing its dislike of the President. True, the south adhered to him; but that sectieh alone had been pow- erless without the aid of northern states. Besides, there is reason fer suspecting that the friendship and admiration of the south- erners for Mr. Cleveland was not wholly disinterested. Their leaders, at the time of his third nomination, were on most ex- cellent terms — almost affectionate —with him. He gave her sons his best gifts; Bay- ard, Lamar, Keily, Wade Hampton, Pugh, Garland, Trenholm, Thompson, jr., John- ston, Coleman, in his first term, and yet more in his second. He not only gave every office in the south to southerners, but he gave many offices in northern and western states to them. I was living in Colorado in his first term, and nearly all the federal offices were given to men of southern birth. So it was in Montana, Wyoming and Wash- ington; and I think that investigation will show that in other states and territories they fared as well. In Colorado even some of the most important offices filled by men of northern birth were so filled by request ef southern men like Gov. James B. Grant. I had it from Secretary Manning that all this was not casual, but that the President wished to meke the south feel her impor- tance and interest in the Unton; to “close the drama with the day” or wipe away the last vestige of estrangement. Yet I think that Mr. Cleveland either counted too much on the patriotism, the brotherly feeling of rorthern democrats, or their indifference to office, or else he never considered his south- ern eppointments in gross, for he was mak- ing enemies in the northern states by this ccurse. In this he was doing like Whate- ley’s spendthrift, “who, thinking that he cen afford this or that expense, fails to no- tice that all of them together must over- whelm him.” So, however the southern democrats may oppose the President’s views on money, they owe him respect and gratitude person- ally for his favors to their section, as well for his fight for the favorite doctrine of tariff for revenue only.

AMUSEMENTS, Lafayette Square Opera House—An ar- tistic production of “: lieu” is @ treat now seldom enjoyed by the theater goers of Washington, for the demands of Lord Lyt- ton’s great play are, as a rule, too severe on the average tragedian and his support. Mr. Keene, however, filled all the exacting requirements last night, and his imperson- ation was more than acceptable to tHe au- dience. It is a part that calls for a high degree of subtlety and consistent character drawing, and Mr. Keene more than met the necessities. The indomitable will, the fad- ing physical faculties, the shrewd insight into men’s nature undimmed by age—all were indicated by touches so strong, yet light and unobtrusive, that the great car- dinal, a power in France and in the world second to none, stood forth as the living man of the time. It was no perfunctory impersonation relying upon lines, make up and costumes to tell the tale, but a com- plete absorption of the player by the part in every detail from the first entrance to the final fall of the curtain. Mr. Hanford as Adrien de Mauprat was so acceptable to the audience as to be prac- tically a co-star, and at the close of the third act, when the young soldier lover turns from his murderous purpose to save the life of the cardinal, the audience re- quired four reappearances and called voci- ferously for both performers. The cast was smooth and well balanced. Carl Ahrendt as the Monk Joseph was favored by nature to fit the part, and Lawrence Lowell gave additional promise of future excellence as Francois. John Milton’s Baradas was a good bit of work. Miss Hopkins made a very acceptable Julie, a role that is not easily filled to general satisfaction. The rest of the support was well placed. This afternoon “Ingomar” is being performed, with Mr. Hanford in the title role, and to- night “Hamlet” is the bill. = Ada Rehan and Daly’s Company.—Miss Ada Rehan, accompanied by Mr. Daly’s company, will be at Lafayette Square Opera House next week. Miss Rehan stands alone today, first as an exponent of Shakespeure’s heroines, then again in her Portrayal of the many parts allotted her. She has made remarkable successes in this country and abroad. The repertoire at the Lafayette next week will be as follows: Monday and Saturday evenings, The Tam- ing of the Shrew;” Tuesday, a revival of “London Assurance,” with Miss Rehan as Lady Gay Spanker; Wednesday evening and Saturday matinee, “School for Scan- dal;” Thursday, “Love on Crutches,” and Friday night, “As You Like It.” Seats may now be secured. “The White Slave.”—Bartley Campbell's great drama of slavery days, “The White Slave,” will be given a detailed production next Monday evening at the Grand Opera House, under the direction of Robert and John B. Campbell. The play has always been a favorite with the better class of the theater-going public, and its return after many years’ absence, will doubtless serve-| to attract large audiences. There will be a large chorus of southern darkies introduced in act three, many of whom lived in the far south during the period in which the story of the play transpires. The Howard Athenaeum Company.—Man- ager Kernan's attraction at the Lyceum next week will be the Boston Howard Athe- naeum Star Specialty Company, which is too well known for lengthy comment. ivery name on the program is of equal prominence, and every act is of equal merit. Among the names appearing are Falke and Semon, musical artists; Dolph and Susie Levino, in their original creation, entitled, “The Rival Arts;’ Kaye and Henry, up- to-date sketch artists; Collins and Collins, character and parody singers; Sam and Kitty Morton, vocalists and dancing ex- perts; Eddie O’Dell, the acrobatic tram Morton and Mack, eccentric Irish com- edians; Grovini and Murray, lady acrobatic novelty dancers, and Ben R. Harney in a very unique specialty, introducing real southern buck dancing. To enable his patrons to get the full and concise returns from the election next Tuesday, Manager Kernan will give an extra midnight matinee, the performance beginning at 12 o'clock midnight. A spe- cial wire has been placed on the stage and the election returns will be read to the au- dience as quickly as received. ae ECHO MEETING. Recent Convocation of the Brother- hood of St. Andrew. An echo meeting of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was held last night in the par- ish hall, adjoining Christ Church, on G street southeast, and the attendance of members was quite large. The object of the gathering was to hear talks from the delegates to the recent convention of the order held in Pittsburg, Pa. The affair was made the more interesting by the fact of its informal character. Revs. Buck, Aspin- wall and Turner spoke very entertainingly of the great impressions made upon their minds by the things that they both saw and heard at the convention. Several of the laymen present also adjed much in- formation as to the work done by the con- vention, and also spoke of the valuable points obtained for church work, which they gathered at the different meetings of the sections of the great convention. It was stated that the results of the Pitts- burg meeting will be productive of much good throughout this country in aiding the brotherhood to carry on more effectively the work it is now engaged in. The Rev. Mr. Tongue made an appeal for helpers to aid him in church work among the sol- diers at Washington barracks, and it was evident that his request met with a hearty response. The meeting was an extended one, due to the pleasure felt in the re- ports heard, and was in every way a profitable one. Prayers were said for the recovery to health of the Rev. Gilbert F. Williams, who is now undergoing medical treatment in the south. This well-known clergyman has been rector of Christ Church, East Washington, for many years, and is highly regarded by all who know him for his scholarly attainments and his pleasant social qualities. His long and continued illness is a source of much sor- row, both to his congregation and to his large circle of friends and admirers. Di- rector Bryan presided at the meeting and those present were made to feel at home by the members of the chapter connected with Christ Church. _—__.___ Market Dealers Elect Officers. The Market Dealers’ Co-operative Asso- ciation held their annual election of offi- cers last night at their hall, 314 8th street northwest. Thé dealers manifested their interest in the association and election of officers by their large attendance on this occasion. Mr. J. K. Mangum of Center market was re-elected president for the third consecutive term by unanimous vote of the association; Mr. O. D. Jackson of K Street market was elected vice president; Mr. F,. L. Summy of Riggs market was re- elected secretary for the third time. Mr. Robert Bowdler, the well-known florist of the Center market, was re-elected finan- cial secretary, second term. Mr. Robert Lavender of the firm of Lavender & Rott was elected marshal. Mr. J. I. Gardiner of K Street market was elected chaplain. Mr. L. C. Morrison of O Street market was elected warden. Every market in the Dis- trict except the Eastern was largely rep- resented. This association has done much good during the past two years in regulat- ing evils pertaining to this branch of in- dustry. After the business of the meeting had been transacted, the president an- nounced that the committee had provided for a smoker, and the members indulged in refreshments ard smoking and all went home feeling happy that the election was over and declaring they would attend all meetings of the arsociation hereafter. eg Claims Damages. Claiming that he received a fractured leg and other injuries on 27th street the 26th of last month, Benjamin Whipps has sued the District, claiming $10,000 damages. He alleges that a hoisting device used in the construction of a sewer fell on him.

Brew- etfs. Some of the Matters Discussed Last Night—Bicycle Riding Felt by Horseshoers. The regular weekly meeting of the Build- ing Trades Council was held last evening at Electrical Workers# Hall, No. 508 1ith street nortwest, wilt Vice President J. P. Healey in the chair,,and Mr. J. M. Boyce secretary. 2 The session was quite brief, and the only business of importance transacted was the consideration of the employment of -non- union workmen en the new Columbia Thea- ter. The secretary reported that he had, as directed by the Building Trades Council at their last meeting, communicated with the proprietors relative to the matter, but had as yet received no reply. It was stated that non-union workmen and those belong- ing to the Knights of Labor were employed at the theater named in preference to union men whose organizations were allied with the Building Trades Council, which body had an agreement with the proprietors of the theater that members belonging to or- ganizations recognized by the Building Trades Council should be employed. The electrical workers reported that four non-union electricians :were employed on their line of work at the same-theater, but that two of them had made application for membership in their association, A communication was read from Mr. Charles Meyer, secretary of the Christian Heurich Brewing Company,. inviting the members of the Building Trades Council to inspect its new brewery and ice manufac- turing plant. The invitation was accepted. The Brewery Workers’ Local Union, N. 118, met last evening at Bieligh's Hall, 7: 7th street northwest. The report of the conference which was held Saturday evening last between the representatives of the Central Labor Union and the Building Trades Council, and the representatives of two of the brewing com- panies, concerning wnich a report was made to the Central Labor Union, and like- wise published in The Star of yesterday, was considered and discussed at much length, the entire session being devoted to that matter. It was developed that but one of the employes in Heuricn’s brewery was a member of the organization, that none Were cmployed in the National Capital, and that the largest per cent of men belonging to their union were employed at the Wash- ington Company's brewery. It was further stated that all the employes in Abner's brewery are members of Union No. 118, and that there is no uniform rate of wages paid in the breweries, but that some receive less compensation for the same class of work than do others; that some of the employes are required to labor from 3 or 4 o'clock the morning until as late as 6:40 o'clock in the evening, and that they are also required to work five hours Sunday. It was likewise stated that some of the members of the union have been blacklist- ed. It being stated that the representa- tives of the brewers dented such to be the fact, a number of those present produced a recommendation signed by the manager of one of the breweries, in which he certified to the ability of the employe and recom- mended him to any one desiring his ser- vices outside of the city of Washington. The announcement was also made that the foreman or brewmaster of a brewery who Was opposed to employing union men had 80 stated to a brewety worker now em- ployed in another brewery; also that while the brewers would not oppose the unioniz- ing of the breweries, ot object to their men being visited and solielted to join the union, the matter was really at the option of the brewmaster, who had immediate charge and control of the men; that while the brewers may cxpress their friendliness to- ward organized workers, if the brewmaster 1s not favorably disposed toward. union ideas it is impossible to organize: the men, as the former has the right to discharge an employe at his diseretion, It was decided to request the Central Labor Union to appoint a committee to visit the several brewerles and organize, if possible, the brewery: workers. 11 , At the meeting Imst-evening of the Feder- ‘ation of Labor Prestdent James F. Mc- Hugh presided and. Mr. C. A. Maidens was secretary. Announcement.was made after adjourn- ment that the difficulty at a leading bak- ery, to which reference has heretofore been mace, had been settled in a manner satisfactory to all concerned; that only union mer were employed there in every capacity where an organization of the craft exists, and that the proprietor had also agreed to give his horseshoeing here- after to cnly union blacksmith shops. The delegates from the Journeymen Horseshoers’ Union repcrted that quite a number of their members were out of em- ployment, and that this state of affairs was attributable to the hard times and increas- ing use of bicycles. > -— THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW. Pennsylvania Democrats. Churged With Violating Its Provisions. Presider.t John R. Procter of the civil service commission is strongly of the opin- ion that Chairman Garman of Pennsyl- vania democratic state committee and County Chairman *Howley of Allegheny have palpably violated the civil service laws by sending a circular to letter carriers and other United States employes in Pitts- burg and vicinity asking for contributions to the campaign fund. The most objection- able part of the circular is the following paragraph: “No excuse for failure to contribute by those who have received especial benefits through the democratic party will be valid after the victory has been won without their aid.” The officers of the commission say that this paragraph implies a threat of expu!- sion of all democratic employes who de- cline to contribute. The civil service commission has abund- ant proof that the circulars were sent to the employes in the federal building at Pittsburg, and not to their residences, which action makes the senders amenable to the law. The commission will probably decide to prosecute Garman and Howley. ae We Mind Our Own Business Recause our progressive ideas bring business enough to keep our hands full attending to it. James F.

A large crowd of citizens assembled on G street northwest between 14th and 15th streets, in front of C. G. Sloan’s auction rooms yesterday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock, and watched a colored man as- sault a policeman, There was only one man in the crowd, Mr. E. H. Brown, who offered the officer any assistance, although the latter’s shoulder had been dislocated. and he had otherwise been injured. George Robinson, the colored man who caused the trouble, drives a furniture wagon, and his wagon had been standing in front of the auction rooms so long that Mr. Sloan asked him to remove the obstruction and leave there. The colored driver refused to leave the street, or move his wagon, and Policeman Emmart was sent for by Mr. Sloan. Even the policeman could not persuade him to leave, and so he then placed nim under ar- rest. Robinson objected to going with the officer, and there was trouble. He suc- ceeded in knocking the officer down, and in falling, his shoulder struck against the curbstone and was dislocated. His face was also cut and disfigured, and in this condition he struggled with his prisoner until Mr. Brown endeavored to assist him. Then another colored man took part in the trouble and attempted to pull Mr. Brown away. While the crowd stood there watching the fight somebody summoned Policeman Barry, and he took Robinson in custody. The prisoner was taken to the poiice sta- tion and the injured officer went to the Emergency Hospital, where his injuries were dressed. He was then able to go home. Precinct Detective Sutton arrested Chester Keating, colored, as the man who had pulled Mr. Brown away when he at- tempted,to assist the officer. Today, in the Police Court, the prisoners were charged with assault, and the cases were continued until the officer is able to appear. —._—_ De You Realize That the lowest-priced article is often not the cheapest?
