CHICAGO, Aug. l0.--The 7ribun,
this morning says editorially tha
the Kearny demonstration in In
dianapolis yesterday came into
competition with a demonstration
of welcome TO the new Catholic
Bishop of the Diocese. The result
furnished additional proof that the
blatant communist from California
can expect neither comfort mol
countenance from the great body o.
the Catholic church. The new
Bishop was welcomed by vas,
crowd of people glad of the
opportunity to show their respect
for his holy office. Kearney was
neglected with conspicuous con.

which was to have received and es-
corten him to the picnic grounds
numbered but sixty.eight by actu.

of the estimate held of Kearney

were less than one hundred persons
in the procession. After speeches
by the lesser Communistic
lights, Kearney mounted the
platform and exploded with a great
noise. He recited q portion OF the
second chapter Of st. James, with a
vicious intonation indicative of an
inclination to convert his Bible
into a bludgeon and send some of

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Ths Potter
Investigating Committee resumed
its session to-day. John e. Leete's
apparent insanity was generally
discussed. His wife and children
are sick with yellow fever in New
Orleans, which, with the excite
nent of testifying before the COM
mittee, may have caused temporary
arrangement of his mind.
A dispatch was received from
Gov. Kellogg, in Chicago, denying
several statements made by Leete
in his testimony, saying that Leeie
had been for months past begging
for an Office and latterly threaten
ing and denouncing him because
he did not receive any. The state
ment that Packard and himself, or
leading Republicans, ever took
Leete into party cOunse's, would be
received with derision in Louis.

AS Mr.. Horn, who was expected
to testify, did not put in an appear
ance, the Sergeant-at-Arms was
directed to compel his attendance
before the Committee tomorrow.
General Butler then called atten-
ton to his request made last week
regarding the failure and refusal of
Stanley Mathews to appear before
the Committee. He now moved
that the fact Of his service by
subpoena ami his failure to come
before the Committee be entered
upon the minutes, and that
this Committee report him to the
House for their action. Potter said
he had lost sight of Buffers mo.

and would sustain it now. He put
the resolution to the Committee
and 1t was unanimously carried to
report Senator Matthews to the
House as being in contempt. There
being no witnesses before the Com

until tomorrow.
