LEFT HIS WIFE.-The late sensa-
sational elopement case in King George
had hardly ceased to be the gossip be-
fore another took its place. This time
it is Mr.. B. F. Greene, who has left his
wife and departed for parts unknown.
His plans have evidently been in vogue
for some time, and in fact those familiar
with the parties concerned, have anti
cipated the trouble. Early Tuesday
morning MIR. Greene succeeded in sell
ing all his earthly possessions and soon
afterwards left the county, his destina-
ton being unknown. The trouble that
led to his departure is said to be of q
family nature.
His wife was a Miss Henderson, to
whom he was married in May last, and
is from a highly respectable family.
Mr.. Greene has also borne q good repu-
tation and was highly respected. The
charges made against her by her hus-
band are emphatically denied by her
father. The affair is being quite freely
discussed and public sentiment is said
to be with his wife. By Mr.. Greene's
departure she is left dependent upon
her parents. She is only about twenty
years of age. Mr.. Greene is twenty
seven and his present wife is his second.

BISHOP KEANE's RETURN.-Bishop
J. j. Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni
versity, Washington, reached New York
from Europe yesterday morning, and
came at once to Baltimore, where he
spent the evening and night at the resi-
dence of Cardinal Gibbons. Bishop
Keane went to Rome July 30th for the
purpose of personally seeing the Pope,
and telling him of the Catholic Univers-
ity and the condition of affairs in that
institution. He had two audiences
with the Pope, in which tie latter ex-
pressed himself as delighted with the
state of affairs at the university. In
speaking of the relations of the OUR
inal to the Vatican, Bishop Keane that
the policy of the Pope, in view of the
recent overtures of Italy, is the union of
the church with the great democratic
powers of the future-that is, America.
and France. This is his hope, and to-
wards it all his remarkable energies are
bent. He, as a clear-sighted statesman,
is opposed to militarism and despotism,
and is, consequently, in sympathy with
France, rather than the Triple Alliance,
of which Italy forms a part. The Pope
thinks that universal suffrage, controll-
ed by moral and religious influence,
must decide the great social question
of the future. The social question the
Pope recognizes as the great one of the
future.-Baltimore american.

China and Japan.

A telegram received at Shanghai
from Kobe, Japan, confirms the state
ment emanating, from Chinese sources,
that the Japanese lost three warships
at the naval battle fought at the mouth
of the Yalu river. Their names, how
ever, are not given, and it is evident
that the Japanese official dispatches are
incomplete.
1t is rumored that the Chinese trans
ports Chin lung, Haeting, Haingu and
Toonan, while landing in The Yalu
river, were captured by the japanese,
but there is absolutely nothing definite
known as to the fate of those ID board.
The London Central News has re-
ceived the following dispatch from To-
kio regarding the recent naval battle.
The dispatch is dated September %,
S:45 a. M: 1.-THE Japanese flagship
Matsusima, with the first squadron, had
a rendezvous at Hal Yantau, near the
mouth of the Yalu. The fight
ing lasted five hours. The Chi
nese cruisers Yang Wei, Chao
Yung and Ching Yuen and the barbette
ship Lai Yuen were destroyed, and the
barbette ships Ting Yuen, King Yuen
and Ping Ynen were set on fire. When
darkness fell the Chinese vessels fled.
The Japanese pursued them, reaching
Hope Sound at daylight. Th eenemy,
however escaped, and the Japanese re-
turned to Hal Yantau. Of the Japanese
vessels the most damaged were the
cruisers Matsusima, Hi Yei and Akagi,
which were in the thickest of the fight.
One of the Matsusima's guns was dis
mounted, damaging the ship, and she
returned to Sasebo for repairs. The
other Japanese vessels remain on the
station. The total number of japanese
killed and wounded is $50. On the
flagship the commander, lieutenant and
81 of the crew were killed and 4 Off
GERS and SO of the crew were wounded.
Seventeen men have since died. The
cruiser Yayeyama replaces the Matsu-
simas The admiraI's flag has been
hoisted aboard the cruiser Hasidate.n
Naval experts are of the opinion that
the Chinese lost the battle off Yalu be-
cause they did not heed Capt. Mahan's
rules and keep off the shore. The re-
suit of the battle shows that. small
cruisers are more effective than large
battleships.
