GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS
Bishop Keane Not a. Candidate for Re-
Election rs Rector.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Many of the
archbishops and directors of the Catholic
University are already in Washington to
attend the meeting tomorrow and Thurs
day.. Several points relative to the vacan-
cy in the rectorship of the university have
already been settled in advance of the
meeting of the directors. Bishop Keane by
positive and direct letters to his friends
has taken his name out of consideration, so
that it Is assured no effort will be made to
nominate him for the place. Bishop Keane
informed his friends that even if chosen by
the directors and reappointed he would not
accept the position. 1t has also been deter
mined that no bishop will be
for rector.
1t can be stated on good authority that
there has been no change in the declared
policy of the government with respect to
Cuba nor is any contemplated. AS is we'll
known the sympathies of the administra-
ton, as individuals, in a large measure,
are with the insurgents, but if they gain
their independence it will be without any
intervention, other than amicable, on the
part of Mr.. Cleveland.

Naval War Records,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Superintendent
Richard Rush, in charge of the publication
OF the Naval War Records, in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Navy says
that during the past year the second and
third volumes of the war records have been
published. The fourth volume is in the
hands of the printer and it is hoped that
two more volumes will be ready for the
press during the current fiscal year. The
editions are said TO be ensfrefy too small
to meet the proper demand. much less to
supply the volumes for sale to the public,
and Il large edition is urged. Some addi-
tional papers of great value have been Sc
cured during the year. The reports of the
Union commanders are fairly complete, but
great difficulty has been met in obtaining
those of the Confederate commanders, oW-
ing in part to the destruction by fire of a
large part of the archives of the Con-
Tolerate Navy Department.

PRESIDENT YOUNG REELECTED.
Session of the Base Ball Nagnates n,
New York.

Session of the Base Ball Nagnates Mt
New York.
The most important question before the
national board of the National Base Ball
League, at New York yesterday, was the
practice which has prevailed in the past,
whereby the larger clubs acquire a man
from one of the smaller clubs and then de-
fer payment for three or four months, re-
serving the right to return the man to the
lesser organization if they choose.
At the session last night this addition was
made to article 6:
"A club making selection Of player as
authorized in the preceding paragraphs of
this article shall have the right within
thirty days of notice to the secretary of the
board of such selection to withdraw from
such selection, and on notice to the secre-
tary he shall return to the club the amount
deposited with him. A club failing to exer-
else this right within the time specified
shall not be allowed, subsequently, to with
draw its claim, and immediately on signing
the player to formal contract, the secre-
tary of the board shall remit to the original
club, reserving the amount to be deposited
with him on account of such selection. The
selecting club shall within sixty days of It's
original selection tender the player selected
a formal contract as in paragraph "A Of
this article, and in case Of Its failure to do
so the secretary of the board shall remit
the amount deposited with the club for
whom the player was selected"
The annual election for chairman, Sec
retaTy and treasurer, resulted, as it has for
years past, in the election of Mr. Young to
the position.
The managers adjourned, to meet again
at the annual schedule meeting on Febru-
ary 2i, when all important questions now
before the league will be finally disposed of.
The long standing dispute between ex-
Capt. John NJ Ward Of the New York club
and Andrew Freedman was laid over until
February.

A crime that euualed some Of the acts OF

Police Court yesterday, were held by Judge
Miller for the action Of the grand jury in

The story OF Wellington's crime as dis
closed by testimony in court, was that
about S:45 O'Clock Thursday evening last,
Wellington gained entrance to the grocery
store Of William f. Auth, Sd street and In
diana avenue, through a rear window In
| order to reach the window, it was neces-
sary for Wellington to scale she fence sur
rounding the yard of the Indiana House.
ard then pass ever a high fence in the
rear of the grocery. A wooden shutter
was then easily pried off. a pane of glass
was smashed, the fastening released and
the sash raised.
Once inside the store, Wellington caused
most lamentable condition of affairs He
first turned his attention to sixty bags of
extra fine flour, and after ripping them
open with a long-bladed penlluife enjoyed
himself with very creditable imitation
OF snow storm, by strewing the flour I'm

large barrels.
Before departing the youngster forced
open cash register and appropriated a
valuable gold ring and over s. in cash, as
well as several boxes of cigars and seyenty-
five boxes of cigarettes. Being satisfied
apparently, with the result of his efforts
Wellington then left by the way he had
entered. He then proceeded to an enter
