B: of th [ARCHBISHOP KEANE Interesting Rumor Concerning the Late Rector’s Future Work. WILL HAVE AN AMERICAN CHARGE Announced That He Will Make Early Visit to This Country. ASSEMBLY OF THE PRELATES —— ee Catholic laymen, and the clergy as well, are taking a good deal of interest in the rumors now circulating that Archbishop John J. Keane, late rector of the Catholic University, is to be appointed by the pope to the archdiocese of New Orleans in suc- cession to the late Most Rev. Archbishop Janssens. The prelates of the archdiocese met recently and selected three names to be presented to the pope of persons rec- ommended as being suitable for the high honor, and at the same time acceptable to the clergy of the archdiocese. One of the names selected was that of Archbishop Chapelle of Santa Fe, New Mexico, form- erly pastor of St. Matthew's Church of this ity, and the others were those of two members of the New Orleans diocese, but the name of Archbishop Keane was not mentioned in the list. The Question Involved. This meeting has demonstrated one thing, and that is, that it is a question whether Archbishop Keane can be spared from Rome, and not whether he is suitable for the place. Of the latter there can be no question; for, while his name was not cne of the tiree selected, yet the Catholic lay- men of New Orlears have sent unofficial communications abroad, and the religious papers have contained a number of ar- ticles devoted to the subject, and speaking of the archbishop in the highest terms. It is probable that the Catholle laymen of Washington who are on the inside will be the first in this country to learn Bishop < vishes in the matter, for he hi recently to a prominent citizen of Washington, stating that he will leave Rome the Ist of August, sailing for this count a few days later, and arriving at the capital during the latter part of Au- gust. Will Meet in Washington. In addition to the selection of three numes by the New Orleans clergy, the archbishops of the United States are to assemble at the Catholic University the 12th of October next, and at that meeting they will also select three names. By that time it will be known definitely what the wishes of Archbishop Keane are, and then, if his name be selected as one of the three, the pope will doubtless appoint him. His friends of the clergy and laity in this city think, however, that his will not be the name of Archbishop Janssens’ successor, especially since he has become widely known In Rome, is of undoubted service to the church, and is not charged with any exacting administrative duties. Monsig: © Schroeder. At the meeting of the archbishops of the 1 mat- the United States just mentioned, sev ters of interest in connection with Catholic University will probably be se tled, among others the reported resignation ef Monsignor Schroeder. The monsignor and Rev. Drs, Bouquillon and Pace of the University sailed this week for Europe, the lettee two being accompanied by the Rev. D. C. De Wulf, late pastor of St. Anthony’ Church, Brookland, who goes back to live in native land, Belgium. Another offi- cial of the university, Dr. Walter J. Hoff- man, curator of the museum, will sail this n.cnth for his post as United States consul at Mannheim, Germany. Dr. Hoffman, during his absence abroad, will collect for the mvseum, and it is expected his term of office will not only be of benefit to the government, but also te the university. Addition to Exhibit. A Iste addition to the university museum are some Assyrian bricks containing some fine spectmens of the cuneiform writing, but these, together with the other collec- tions, will be partly closed for inspection il the return of Dr. Hoffman. ‘The rector of the university, Dr. Conaty, = had coaferred on him the ecclesiastical ttle of monsignor.

The National Rifles had a delightfully cool evening for their excursion yesterday, and, while the storm in the afternoon kept away a number of persons, and the excur- sion was not as large as it was expected it would be, those who did make the trip enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The cool- ness materially added to the enjoyment of dancing, and the pavilion was at all times filled with a happy crowd. The committee having the arrangements in charge was composed of Lieut. Fred B. Nichols, chair- man; Lieuts. J. H. Cunningham, J. W. Cameron, M. C. Summers, J. M. Clipper, J. H. Small, jr., and Edward 8. Batley. Washington may not be a3 hot as some cities, but we are all willing to concede that it is quite hot enough for us, and that it is a blessed relief to g2t a breath of fresh air. That accounts for the popular- ity of the Indian Head trips. Over four hours of continuous sailing amid the cool breezes of the river is very delightful after the heat of the day. The Maca'ester leaves every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening for the rest of the season on these Indian Head trips, at 6:30, and calls at Marshall Hall both ways, carrying those who were fortunate enough to have been able to take an earlier boat to the Hall free of extra charge. Prof. Schroeder's band plays operatic selections on the boat und also plays dance music at the Hall for those who care to stop off and dance. The Macalester has an excellent restaurant, and it is also provided with a barber's shop, so that a gentleman has no need to go home after leaving the office. Bicycles are properly looked after on the boat, and carried free of charge. The management has neglected nothing to make the trip a pleasurable one in every way. The Wednesday trips of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz still continue to increase in popularity, and yesterday large throngs of pleasure seekers visited River View and enjoyed its cool breezes, shady lawns and many attractions. Danc- ing was kept up until the 10:0 boat, and even then it was with regret that the young people left for home. Today Division No. 3 of the Ancient Order of Hibernians are giving their an- nual excursion to River View, and a large number of their friends have already gone with them. The last boat for the View will leave at 6:45 o'clock this evening, and it is expected that a large crowd will go down on this trip. a THE DUTY OF THE PEOPLE. Senator Morgan Writes a Character- istic Letter on Cuban Affairs, A letter from Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama was read at the meeting of the National Cuban League, held last evening at Confederate Veterans’ Hall. In the course of it the senator wrote: “We cannot afford the disgrace and hu- millation which will fellow us in history if we are indifferent to the norrors of Weyler- ism in Cuba, with its violations of all laws of’ humanity and of our treaties with Spain.” Fusther on he wrote as follows: “Weyler is now proceeding to subjugate the two eastern provinces in Cuba. In do- ing this he will starve the women and children that he may pe able to travel around his fortified placss, as he did in the central and western provinces. This will include American citizens residing in these provinces, and we will ugain be eall- ed upon to open our treasury to save them frcm this horrid and cowardly ‘bando’ starvation for women and children. He will not subjugate the eastern provinces, but he will starve many of those poor pco- ple. These people have the natural right, and the right under the laws of nations, (6 have a fair chance to defend themselves against this Inhuman warfare, and now 1s the supreme moment in which our govern- ment, for the protection of our own peomle. should recognize that right. If we refus this we become accom; in the erfme. ‘Who shall deliver us from this body of death?” My answer is, the people of the United States must work that deliverance by refusing to be saddled with this odious burden by timid politicians and callous speculators.” The meeting was briefly addressed by Col. Richard J. Hinton and Col. Castelli, and a committee was authorized to solicit supplies for Cuban hospitals. ee eS en 81.00 Excursion to Hagerstown $1.00 and Frederick.

Response of 2 Woman to a Demand for a Fine. A big, tall countryman, whose trousers were stuffed in his boots, and who had a revolver in his pocket and a wide leather belt about his waist, presenting the ap- pearance of a frontiersman who had just arrtyed in town, ‘acccsted a policeman on the street yesterday and introduced himself as a Maryland constable. He said there was a woman in the “Division” whom he wanted for an alleged violation of law in his county, and he wanted the policeman to afd in her cepture. This woman, he explained, had been ar- rested in company with a male companion while visiting his part of the county on the electric cars, and the amount of fine as- sessed against her was $25 “Just come into the city with me and I'll give you the money,” she said, and this particular constable was deputized to ae company her. When the woman reached the District she knew the constable had no legal claim on her, but she allowed him to escort her to her house, and then notified him that if he id not leave her she would scald him. And the constable had to pay his car fare home and return alone. ——.__ Reduced Rates to Chapel Point, Md., via Pennsylvania Railroad.

Edward Jokmsom, Whose Skull Was Fractured, ‘Passes Away—The leged *Anadilant in Jail. Al- Edward Johnson, the colored man who Was conveyed tc the Emergency Hospital Tuesday of last week, and has since been under treatment for a fracture of the skull, died this morning. Joseph Smith, also col- ored, sixteen years old, who is alleged to have inflicted the fatal wound with a.stone, has been in jail for several days on a charge of assault with intent to -kill, and will now be charged with the more serious offense of taking life. ‘The coroner was Notified of the death of the victim, and will probably hold an inquest tomorrow. About noon of the day the fatal wound was inflicted the parties to the affair were in Snow’s court, near 25th and K streets northwest, where they quarreled about two cigarettes. This was what led to the throwing of the stone, which has resuited so disastrously. .In the court named there is usually a number of men’and boys to be seen loitering on the porches or under a shade tree, instead of being at work, and the alley has been the scene of many a se- vere fight and much disorder. Smith and Johnson were among those Who were in the alley the day in question, with apparently nothing to do, and Smith sent a little girl to a store in the neigh- borhood to get him a cent’s worth of cigar- ettes. When the girl returned Smith was in “Aunt” Maria Jones’ store, and the cigarettes were placed on tne counter. The Smokers Disappeared. “I want to get some matches,” he said to one of the woman's children, who had charge of the store, and he proceeded be- hind the counter to get them. Johnson was in the store at the time. When Smith turned to pick up one of the cigarettes he discovered that both of them had disap- peared. “Who's got his anxious inquiry. Z There was no response, and Smith con- clnded that he would have to go on the Warpath to get them. Golng out in the back yard he picked up a heavy stick and returned to the store, angry enough to use it on everybody in the place. Look here, Joe,” said Johnson, “who are you going to hit with that stick?” Anybody who's got my cigarettes,” was his response. “Do you think I’ve got them?” inquired. “Never mind what I think, Smith; “I'm going to hit took my smoker: This conversation was continued for a few minutes. It was then evident that a fight was bound to follow, and Johnson, who was more than twice the age of Smith, also picked up a stick. Went in Pursuit. Just who made the first advance will be told to the coroner's jury tomorrow, but at any rate one pursued the other through the house and yard, and finally one went out the back door) while the other entered the court from the front door. Johnson came through theryard and was about to jump the fence, to leave there, as the wit- nesses thought, when Smith threw the stone and struck. him on his forehead. Then the boy walked away, leaving John- son to be cared for by others in the alley. Joe Taylor, who: lives in the court, was at home at the time, and he volunteered to accompany the injured man to the Emer- gency Hospital, which he did. Johnson entered the hospital, and the physicians dressed his wound, finding a severe de- pression, which was considered dangerous. Although the patient seemed to realize that he was in a fair way to die, he refused to give the name of hfs assailant. The. Arrest Made. The trouble in the court had caused con- siderable excitement, amd when Policeman Pat O'Brien of the third precinct went there to make an investigation he fotind no difficulty in ascertaming who had thrown the stone, and the circumstances under which it was thrown. He then went in search of Smith, but it was not until about 8 o'clock Friday morning that he found him. Because of the serious nature of the wound, the prisoner was committed to jail without bail. At the hospital the doc- tors did all in their power for the injured ‘man, but the wound was so serious a one that to save his life was impossible.

Tuck of Annapolis, who is a candidate for appointment as collector of internal reyenue for the district embracing Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia. Formal charges have been filed at the Treasury Department against his appointment. They are said to embrace twelve distinct counts, of which the fol- lowing are the principal: “Incompetency to fill the position.” “Treachery in political affairs.” “Boasting of the defeat of the republi- can party on occasions when the nomina- tions did not suit Dr. Tuck. i “Abusing his excellency, Gov. Lowndes. “Appropriating campaign funds to his personal use.” : The charges are signed by Mr. W. F. Petherbridge and others. Dr. Tuck has made a statement denying in detail each of the allegations made in the charges, so far as he is informed as to their nature. “If the informatioa I have of the na- ture of the specific charges is correct,” he Says, “they are almost too absurd to no- tice, and except that they are made where I am not as well known as at home, I should treat them with the contempt that their falsity merits.” After denying each of the charges in de- tail, Dr. Tuck says: “As to converting campaign funds to my personal use, such a charge is utterly false and known to be so by the men making it. Anne Arundel republicans have had Iit- tle financial aid, to my knowledge, and all has been used for party purposes, T myself contributing more than any other local politician. “These charges are simply a rehash of falsehoods circulated at various times by these same people, denied and their falsity shown time after time, and the attempt to revive them now is en expiring and desperate effort of defeated and discredited local politicians.” —____.

The police- man approached and said: ‘What the — are you —— doing there?’ using an oppro- brious epithet.” “He said he w going to vag me, but after I gave my name at the station, ond he found out who I was, the charge was changed to disorderly conduct. I am em- ployed in the office of the recorder of deeds, and no reason exists why I should ‘loaf.’ ” “That's a bad place to ride around on a cle,” remarked the court. your honor,” replied Attorney who represented the defendant, “but I've often seen good people there.” The court dismissed the ca: and Pinchback was discharged from tody.

WANT DEMOCRATS REMOVED Emphatic Speeches and Radical Action by McKinley-Hobart Club. Committee of Fifteen Appointed to Demand That Local Offices Be Given to Republicans. - The McKinley and Hobart Interstate Re- publican Club held one of the liveliest meetings in its history at Wonn’s Hall last evening, and when it adjourned a motion had been carried for the chairman to ap- point a committee of fifteen members, and invite the co-operation of the Union Repub- lican Club, to call upon President McKin- ley and demand that republicans be given offices in the District of Columbia now held by democrats. It had also been decided to have a committee of five, consisting of Judge J. C. Chaney, F. B, Crosth: *h Weed, Thomas G. Hensey and G. lotz, to draw up and present to the Senate committee on commerce a communication testifying to the value of Mr. B. H. War- ner’s services to the republican party, both in national and Maryland politics. Plain Talk Members. The first action was taken after several addresses were made, in which plain words were used. Dr. T. E. Lee, the first speaker, said he believed the time had come when the republican clubs of the District should take notice of the fact that almost every respensible position in the District govern- ment was held by a democrat. In Mr. Cleveland's first term, said Dr. Lee, every republican in the local government was thrown out and the democrats who got the places retain them yet. He declared that all three of the present District Commis- sioners are democrats, saying that he un- derstood that Mr. Ross was the best re- publican on the board, and that the col- lector of taxes and the chiefs of the pclice and fire departments are all democrats There was a democratic district attorr also. “Let us get to work and change all this, said Dr. Lee. “We have 900 members in our organization, many of whom are influ- ential men. Let us join with the Union Re- publican Club in a protest to President Mc- Kinley against this state of affairs being continued.” In conclusion, Dr. Lee declared that re- publicans would have to fight, and the sooner they began the better It would be Vice President W. S. Odell believed the democrats should be removed from office, but did not think there was any use in making a protest. He sald President Me- Kinley has recently had the local situation powerfully impressed upon him, and know that a number of democrats hold pos under the District government, but he doe nothing. On motion of Mr. E. R. Taylor, the com- mittee, as stated above, was appointed, and after Mr. G. G. Langiotz had made a speech in support of Mr. B. H. Warner, in his con- troversy with Senator Wellington, the club unanimously indorsed Mr. Warner's sta commends Aggression. Admitted to ) A special meeting of representatives of the colored Baptist churches of the Dis- trict of Columbia and Alexancria was held ye: jay afternoon at Lorely Zion Bap- tist Church on 14th street between T and U streets northwest, and that church was admitted to full membership, with all the ether churches of the denomination in the territory named.
