A MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Walter Louis

Mrs. Lenau the shooting was unintentional
Mr.. Lenau has made no statement regard

surgeons unsuccessfully probed for the bail.

live, but said nothing as to how he shot
himself.
To the friends who called to express SYM
pathy Mrs. Lenau said: 1T was all an

BISHOP KEANE'S SUCCESSOR.
University Rcctorship Tenn
pOrar iiy Goes Begging.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-The programme
of the meeting of the directors of the Cath
Ole University indicates a brief and bust
nesslike session. The meeting begins at 1920
o'clock on Wednesday in the senate cham
Der of McMahon Hall. The sessions will
be private. and the present indications are
that nj authoritative information as to the
choice of Bishop Keane's successor will be
made public after the meeting or until the
Pope has acted on the recommendation of
the directors. The meeting of the arch
bishops begins on Thursday morning at the
same place, but this has to do with the
general affairs of the church and not with
the university. 1t is expected that Cardi-
nal Gibbons and Archbishop Williams, of
Boston, will be the guests of the university.
Archbishops Corrigan, of New York, and
Ryan, of Philadelphia, will be with Messrs.
Riggs, of this city. Most of the visiting
prelates have friends here with whom they
will stay during the meeting. Archbishop
OF Father Mackin, of st. PauI's parish.
Although the meeting of the university di-
be no capitalization on any name for the
rectorship to succeed Bishop Keane. OBJ
already mentioned in the press, and in uni
versity circles it is felt that the conjecture
has not come from those who will have a
voice in the selection. Very Rev. Augustin
+. Hewitt, of New York, who has been men
toned, is said to be too far advanced in
years to undertake the arduous work of
managing the university. One of the mem
berS of the board has stated that it was at
least settled that a man in the prime of
life would be chosen. Moreover, Father
Hewitt belongs to the Paulist Order, and
thus far the university has been directed by
the secular clergy outside of the orders.
Concerning Bishops Horstnnan. of Cleve-
land; Bacon, of Georgia.; Montgomery of
California, and Spalding. of Peoria, it is
said that the Pope's letter stating that
rotation in office shall prevail at the UNI
VerSity will make it fneXpedent for any
bishop or archbishop to accept the place.
as the next rector is assured of being
rotated" out of office after a few years of
service. The tenure of office of the bishops
is for life, SO that they are not likely to
give up a place of such dignity and perma-
nence for a temporary position, which.
when it was terminated, would leave them
without a diocese. The name of Rev. DR..
Brann, of st. Agnes parish, New York,
continues to be prominently mentioned.
Archbishop Chapelie, of Santa Fe, is also
mentioned, although the objections already
stated make it unlikely that he would ac-
cept. 1t was he who, when in charge of
st. Matthews Church here, bought the tract
comparatively small sum of sos, 600.
In some quarters connected with the uni
VerSity the impression prevails that Cardi-
nal Satolli knows who the next rector will
be. and that the personal information he
will be able to lay before the Pope at an
early day will be decisive in determining
the rectorship. The expectation IS that the
new rector will not enter on his duties be-
fore the Christmas holidays.

A RABID SPHNIARD.
Thinks the United States Should BE
Rebuked Instantly.

MADRID, Oct. Recommending on the
statement contained in a dispatch from
Washington that President Cleveland in
tends to intervene in Cuba in a manner
tantamount TO the recognition of the indie
pendence OF the insurgents, the Impartial
declares that Spain ought to demand a full
explanation of the Washington govern
ment.
:She cannot brook such a threat over her
head" continues the Impartial, "even for
a single day. By what right do the United
States define the time for Spain to settle
a question of her internal administration?
1t must be affirmed before the whole world
that the American government cannot i'm
pose any sort of terms upon u.s.
After denouncing the United States's
''fictionai neutrality the Impartial con-
cludes as follows: THE conduct of the
United States will arouse general indigna-
ton. If Spain should remain alone in a
conflict with the United States, Spaniards,
by their own efforts. will know how to
mark the difference between the noble de-
tenders of their own property and the vile
traffickers at Washington
