Three Names of Prelates to Be
Submitted to Pope Leo
at Rome.
ONE OF THESE TO BE SELECTED
With the Meeting of the Directors of
the Institution There Will Be an
Assemblage of Arch bishops.
ketehed from lite bg q "Cal' ARTIST.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 19.-The
Catholic University of America will be
the center of interest to American Roman
Catholics next Wednesday when the
board OF trustees will meet to select the
names of three clergymen from which the
Pope of Rome will choose a successor to
Bishop Keane.
Ever since the sensational announce
ment of Bishop Keane's resignation the
interest has been intense, and laymen and
churchmen alike have been speculating
upon what the final result of the contro-
versy will be. Progress toward this result
will be made at the meeting Wednesday,
but even the most sanguine do not believe
that the action of the trustees will be in
the nature OF final settlement of the diff
ferences now so palpably in evidence
among high members of the American
hierarchy over the policy indicated in the
late rector'S removal.
The meeting will convene at 1O:3O
Wednesday morning in the Senate cham
Der of Mcmahon Hall. The first business,
it is expected. will be the selection of can
didates for the vacant rectorship. Several
names have beed mentioned as probapii-
ties Among them are those of Bishop |.
Spalding of Peoria, Horstmann of Cleve-
land, Rev. Peter G. Yorke of San Fran
cisco. Archbishop Chapelle, Very Rev.
Augustin f. Hewitt OF New York City,
Rev. DR.. Bran of New Y ork City and Rev.
DIR. Pace, dean of the school of philosophy
at the university.
The name of Rev. Father Conaly, head
of the Catholic Summer School of Philoso-
ply at Plattsburg. N. Y, is also promi-
nently mentioned for the place, and the
belief prevails in well-informed circles that
his will be one of the names submitted to
the Pope. Father ConaIy is attached to
the Springfield (Mass.) diocese. The
friends of DR.. Garrigan. yice-rector of the
university. are expecting that his name
will be included in those sent to the Pope.
They say he has given seven years Of hard
work to the university, leaving one OF the
best parishes in New England to take the
vice-rectorship. tits urged that he should
be considered before priests from outside,
who have no special knowledge of the uni
versity, are brought here.

telegram to President Cleveland, urging
him to insist upon the placing of a guard
ship at Constantinople and an indemnity
of 100000 for outrages committed on
American citizens in Turkey. There were
nearly 1000 people at the meeting. The
meeting denounced The administration
and Minister Terrell for their alleged lack
OF backbone in handling the Armenian
question.

The San Francisco and Bancroft are still
with the flagship Minneapolis, and it is
thought that had their mission been any
thing but peaceful he would not have de-
tached the Marbiehead at this time.

Why assistant, Secretarsf McAdoo De-
nOMnces the Chicago Platform.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 19.-In letter
to w. J. Curtis, a member of the National
Democratic Committee of New Jersey,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo
says that he is opposed to the platform
and unable to support the ticket nomi-
mated at Chicago, because he ''is thor
oughIy convinced that the doctrines
therein set forth are unsound and dan
gerous and would work incalculable in
jury to the whole people of the republic,
being, from a political and economical
point of view, extremely radical, if not
revolutionary, fierce with the heat of re-
newed sectionalism and savage with the
bitterness of class distinctions hitherto
unknown to this country.
"I yield to no one," he says, sin my be-
lief in the majority and independence of
this great country; its imperial place
among the power of the nations; its duty
to assert its rights and maintain its honor
in all lands and on all seas; but l cannot
be convinced that the best way to make it
omnipotent against the world, if not as
proposed against nature itself, is to weaken
its prestige and clip its authority at home,
discredit its institutions and impair its
business integrity. In such contest as
this party associations, personal friend
ships and interests and even family ties
cannot be allowed to interpose between us
and our primary duty to stand by the re-
public, the best help of humanity to keep
unimpaired, sacred and honored its insti-
tutions and its flag"

DUG OUT BY HIS DOG.
Henry MIfer's Life Saved BY the inteif-
gence and Perseverance, of
Saqacious Canine.

CHICAGO, ILL. October 19.-Henry
Miller OF this city came very near losing
his life near Greggs, ILL.,, yesterday, and it
was only owing to the sagacity of his dog
that he ESCAPED fearful death. Miller
went out early yesterday in search OF nuts,
taking his dog with him. When he
alighted from the train he proceeded
to walnut grove two miles south of
Greggs.
After filling his sack he espied wood
chuck on a neighboring sidehill. He
shot at it and ran it into its hole Leav-
ing his dog on guard, he went to the
house of jacob Meyer, mile distant,
and borrowed shovel with which
to dig the animal from its burrow. Miller
soon dug deep pit in the side of the hill,
when suddenly portion of the overhang-
ing bank gave way and buried him under
half ton of gravel.
Fortunately his face was not covered
and he was able to breathe, but hc was so
weighted down it was impossible to move
muscle. He shouted for aid until he
was hoarse, and was about to give UP in
despair when he thought of his dog. Call
ing the faithful beast he bade him dig.
The dog seemed to comprehend, and
scratched gravel SO zealously that at the
end of half an hour Miller was able to
move one arm and soon succeeded in es-
Gaping from his perilous position. He
was so thoroughly frightened he took the
first train back to the City. Before leav-
ing he refused an offer of $50 for the dog.

CONFIDENCE IN THE BALLOON.
While the great balloon in which the
journey will be made has never been
tested its ability to make q long flight
has been demonstrated. The Pole Nord
was built at Vanguard, a suburb Of
Paris, under the direction of Andree and
h s companions. A smaller edition OF
the Polo Nord was constructed at the
samo time. In this balloon, called the
Brennus, repeated flights have been made,
and its usefulness proven. DR.. Strind-
berg in speaking of the first fight of the
Brsnnus said: HWe have made use of the
Brennus for this experiment, a balloon
constructed directly under my super

con structing our Pole Nord. This bal

He Surprises His Critics at n Mas.
Meeting.

The mass meeting advertised to take pIace
IN Market hall last evening, for the purpose
stores, was not largely attended but what
was lacking in numbers was made up in
enthusiasm and vehement speeches. c. n.
Wolterston occupied the chair calling upon
different speakers to present their views of
the question under consideration. Jacob
Steener was the first to address the audi
ence, stating the object of the meeting and
naming the reasons why, in his opinion. de-
partment stores were detrimental 20 the BUSH
ness interests of the city.
Aid' Hare stated when called upon that
ne had not attended the meeting prepared to
make a speech, but that he wholly accorded
with the views of Mr.. Steener
Charles Kelly prefaced his remarks with
the statement that competition was not the
life of trade" but rather the death or
all business undertakings. He believed that
the whole system of competition was wrong
and should be abolished
Ralph O'Hara, the following speaker was
particularly emphatic in his denunciation Of
worked a great hardship on the workingman
by bringing him into competition with wom-
an labor.
In referring to the sanitary conditions OF
a department store, recently inspected by the
health department Mr.. O'Hara took Dr.
Stones Office TO task for it's action in the MAT
ter. DR.. Stone happened to be down town
and, hearing of Mr. O'Haras remarks went
up TO the meeting to square" his depart
ment which he did so successfully as TO
elicit hearty round Of applause at the close
/ of his remarks.
Several gentlemen in the audience under
took to question the doctor about the city 3
method Of removing garbage and before the
meeting was aware of it the department
stores were entirely lost sight Of and Dr..
Stone was answering questions with a volu-
/ bility which clearly bespoke his familiarity
with the duties of his office. One man wanted
to know why, last summer, his swill barrel
had not been removed when it had become
very odoriferous. DR.. Stone explained the
garbage contract existing last year, when
the man said he had not intended to en-
harrass the doctor at all, but simply wanted
to know how such things were done.
Don't let that bother you" said DR.. Stone.
Are there any more questions gentlemen ?'
At this point some one asked the chair what
the meeting had been called for. and Dr.
Stone withdrew, amid the plaudits of the
audience.
Ehmil Gheist was called upon and said he
was in sympathy with the objects of the
! meeting and hoped good results might ac-
! crue from the discussions. At the conclu-

SENIOR MEND0NcA SAYS NAY.
CIVILIZATION TS PI,ENTIETI
AMONG THE SOUTH AMERICAN
NATIONS.
And Adherence to Monroe Doctrine
Is Not Likely to Bring Us
Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Senor Sal
Vador de Mendonca, minister from Bra
I'll to the United States, in communica-
ton with the Washington Post with
reference to Mr.. Depew's speech before
the New York Bar association, writes
as follows:
''Mr. Depew's fears that Venezuela
or Brazil would be willing to sell por-
ton Of their territory seems to carry
him to the conclusion that a protector
ate of the United States Of America
over its Latin neighbors would become
Indispensable In regard to this point,
Mr.. Depew is as we'll informed as in
regard to the disposition of property
in the South American countries at the
whim of the dictators of the hour and
from his ignorance of the actual con-
dition of the Latin American nations
he EFFORTS the argument that the only
device to keep such nations in good
behavior toward the European powers
is to keep them outside of the pro-
tectorate of the republic of the North
III Chauncey M. Depew were as well
acquainted with the Latin-American
countries as he is with the financial
relations between this country and
Europe, ne would know that at present
there are no dictators in South Am
erica, but presidents, elected in ac-
cordance with the constitutional laws
of the countries, and that there is as
much security for life and property,
either of citizens or foreigners, in Brazil,
Chill or Argentine as there is in the
United States or England, and that no
self-respecting Latin-American nation
would countenance the idea of pro-
tectorate, even if offered them by their
best and most powerful friend
'"The principal argument of Mr.. De-
pcW's theory is merely an absurdity.
When the United States proclaimed, in
1928, the Monroe doctrine, it's popula-
ton amounted to 100000 and at that
time this country had already been
twice victorious in foreign wars. 1t is
not much to assume that country like
Brazil, for which alone L wish to speak,
with a population at present of 1S,500,-
600, and after seventy-four years of
constitutional government, never ag-
gressive, but always peaceful and self
reliant, would not require a protector
ate to maintain it's sovereignty and in
dependence"
