that the visitor who was helping him

CHOOSING A RECTOR.
Directors Of the Catholic University of
Washington Meet to Recommend a
Successor to Bishop Keane.

Washington, Oct. 21.-Although the
proceedings Of the board of directors of
the Catholic university, which began
its session today were hedged about
with secrecy, some portion of the busi-
ness transacted has become known. 1t
was anticipated that the vacancies in
the board to be filled today would be
filled by the selection Of churchmen not
in sympathy with Archbishop Ireland
and Bishop Keane. The contrary. how
ever, proved the case.
The resignation Of Bishop Keane as
member Of the board, rendered at the
same time that he resigned the head
ship of the university at the request of
the Pope. was declined. This action
was Of course. largely due to the per-
sonal regard in which the deposed rer
tor is held. Another vacancy had bees
caused in the board by the death o
Bishop Martin, Of st. Cloud, who, dur
ing his life was a strong adherent of
the party opposed to Archbishop Ire
land and 1t was supposed that his sue
cessor would hold similar views. Arch
bishop Riordan, Of San Francisco. a
friend Of Archbishop ireland, was elect
ed and this, 1t Is claimed, places a
strong and influential member of the
American party in the board.
The meeting was presided over by
Cardinal Gibbons, as chancellor of the
university. Among the other directors
present were Archbishop Corrgan. of
New York; Archbishop Williams. Of
Boston; Archbishop Ryan, of Philadel-
phia; Archbishop ireland. of st. Paul;
Archbishop Chappell. Of Santa Fe;
Bishop Macs, of Covington; Bishop
Foley, of Detroit; Bishop Horstman.
of Cleveland; Bishop Farley auxiliary

titled to a vote on any Of the questions
presented: ArchbishOps Elder. of Gin
cinnati: Katzer, of Milwaukee: Rior-
dan. of San Francisco; Kay. of st.
Louis: Gross, Of Oregon, and Feenan,
of Chicago.
Although the fact could not be ascer-
tanned with DOsitiveness there Is good
reason to believe that the three names
were agreed upon before the meeting
adjourned today for presentation to
the pope. as successor to Bishop Keane.
Those present refused absolutely to dis
cuss the matter. The chairman 50 far
named in connection with the rector
ship are the following:

Washington, Oct. 2l.-Mark Hanna
will doubtless be accused by the silver
men Of another campaign outrage-that
of conspiring with bicycle maker to
disable Senator Butler of the Populist
national committee.
About the time he opened the Popu-

bought a bicycle. Last night he tried
to come down Capitol hill. His feet
slipped off the pedals and he lost control
Of the machine.
Fortunately for the Populist party
he had a clear roadway and was able
to keep in the saddle until he reached
the bottom of the hill. There he fell,
and he spent his Sunday in bed covered
with arnica bandages.
No bones were broken. and he will
be able TO steer the Populist party
through the remainder Of the campaign.
