Property of Herman Attached in Suit
 to Recover on a Note.
 Sheriffs Dejon and Higgins last eve ming attached the car, horses, carriages and state effects of Hermann, the ma- gician, in a suit instituted by John Delehanty of New York to recover a note of s2,5OO against Hermann, which he holds. The note is in favor of Ed. Stokes, and is in part payment for a yacht bought by Hermann a few years ago. The note was protested few days ago. At 7:45 last evening 1t looked as though the show scheduled for the Hyperion would not be given, but after conference betweene Attorney Asher, who represents the holder of the note, and J. P. Gooodhart, MT. Herrmann's counsel, 1t was agreed that the per formance might be given.
 A keeper was placed in charge of the property atttached, Mir Hermann telegraphed to New York for bonds, which will probably be furnished this morning.

THE cA7Hon1c UNIVERSITY.
Secret Me eetfng of Directors-Names Sub
 nitted for the Rectorship

mitted for the Rectorship.
 Washington. Oct. 21.-Although the proceedings of the board of directors of the Catholic university, which began it's session to-day, were hedged about with secrecy, some portion of the busi- ness transacted has become known. It was anticipated that the vacancies in the board would be filled by the selec- tion of churchmen not in sympathy with Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Keane. The contrary however, proved to be the case.
 The resignation of Bishop Keane as a member Of the board, rendered at the time he resigned the headship of the university, was declined. Another va cancy had been caused in the board by the death of Bishop Martin, a strong adherent of'the party opposed to Arch bishop Ireland, Archbishop Rfordan of San Francisco, friend of Archbishop Ireland, was elected to the vacancy and this, it is claimed, places strong and influential member of the American party in the board.
 
 Cardinal Gibbons as chancellor of the university. Among the other directors were Archbishop Corrigan of New York, Archbishop Williams of Boston Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Arch 1 bishop Chappe1le of Santa Fe, Bishop Macs of Covington, Bishop Foley of De- troit. Bishop Horstman of Cleveland, Bishop Farley, auxiliary bishop of New York; Father Thomas F. Lee. pastor of St. Matthews church of this city, and Thomas F. Haggamann, also of Washington. There were present also as ex-officio members, who are not en- titled to vote on any ofsthe questions, Archbishops Elder, Katzer, Riordan, Kain, Gross and Feehan.
 The directors later gave out the fol- lowing list of names they had selected to be forwarded to Rome:
 Rev. T. J. Conaty, D. D., of Worces- ter, Mass; Very Rev. J. F. Mooney of New York and Rev. Daniel Riordan of Chicago.
 The board followed strictly the letter of the constitution, which, says the president, must be a priest. Many | When 1t came to selection by ballot | Very Rev. Dr. Garrigan, acting rector, withdrew his name. The resignation of Professor Perrier of the chair of canon | law was accepted. The board at spe- cial meeting at o'clock received the endowment fund of $50, 900 raised by the 1 Ancient Order of Hibernians for the es- | ta'blishment of a chair of Gaelic litera- l ture in the university. A committee of the A. O. H. occupied seats on the l platform P. J. O'Connor of Savannah, Ga., president of the order made the presentation speech. Addresses on be- half of the order were also made by M. F. Wilnere of Philadelphia, Pa., and Hon. J. c. Weadock of Bay City, Mich. | Cardinal Gibbons accepted the dona- tion on behalf of the university.

 day-Student Cases To-day.
 Compared with the day before yester- day was one of leisure for the board of registration, the number of voters applying to be made" having fallen off l40. There were no incidents during the entire day, the democratic mem- bers, however, maintaining the same policy toward Yale students that they did on the former days. The cases will come up this morning. There are eighty-f1ve students registered to be made" this year, the largest number that has ever applied to become elec- tors. These men declare if the select men do not allow them to become elec- tors here they will go to their parents homes. Already, it is said, that ar- engagements are being made with the various town committees to pay the expenses of the young men going to their former homes.
 Town Counsel Goodhart will appear this morning for the republican mem bers, and Messrs. McWilliams, Maher and Martin will look after the demo- cratic side of the controversy. The total number of voters made" to date is 1,541.
 The registry by wards yesterday was as follows:

THE COERCION OF VOTERS
IF BRYAN AND JONES KNOW OF TT THEY ACCIDENTALLY 44MENABLE

Chairman Hanna Says That by Their Si-
 lence They Are Acoomplices of the Grim
 inaIs-American Workingmen Too Patri-
 otic and Independent to be Coerced-
 Yiolators of the Law Should be Punished
 Chicago, Oct. 21.-Chairman Hanna to-day gave out the following:
 "The manifest policy of the silver democratic managers in this campaign, as set forth by their candidate for pres ident shortly after his nomination, has been to create the belief in the minds of the workingmen that they were be- ing coerced by their employees to vote contrary to their convictions The chairman of their committee, Hon. J. K. Jones, has emphasized this policy in a proclamation in which he boldly charges the employing classes with having entered into conspiracy to coerce their employees into voting con- trary to their opinions.
 This is very grave charge, and it has now assumed a form that justif1es giving 1t some attention. To coerce a voter is a crime against the laws of the land, and is Messrs. Bryan and Jones know of coercion they have made themselves accomplices of the crimi- nals by not informing the proper au- thorities and taking steps for prosecu- tion. While we consider the charge ab- surd, and believe that American work ing men and employers are too inde- pendent and patriotic either to be CO., creed or to coerce, the republican na- tional committee will do anything in it's power to protect workingmen in the free and untrammehed exercise of their rights as citizens and will cheerfully unite with the national committee in any movement having that object in view.
 Coercion of voters is not only an un- American, unpatriotic and despotic usurpation of the rights of a free citi- zen, but 1t is wrong that will inevit- ably recoil upon Its perpetrators. It is an arbitrary use of power that is in direct conflict with the principles of our government. The civil compact of the majority rule means free majorities, for whose protection all constitutional pow CTS should be used, and without which a political victory would be barren of results

Senator Butler Denies That He is Sup-
 pressing It-other Things He Says.
 Washington, Oct 21.-Senator Butler to-day said there was absolutely no in- formation, so far as he was concerned. respecting the Watson letter:
 '"The reports we are getting" said the populist chairman, "show that the tide has turned in favor of Bryan in Illinois just as it did ten days ago in Michigan and Minnesota. When I re- turned from the west ten days ago I said that Michigan and Minnesota were safe for the democratic ticket, and I now consider Illinois equally safe for Bryan. The republicans now realize the condition of affairs. and those con- versant with affairs have practically given up the fight in that state.
 ''As to Ohio, that state Is now trem- bling in the balance, and I believe that Bryan will carry 1t. I thought so month ago, but did not think it wise to make any statement of that character. The information we are getting, how ever, is sufficient ground for us to say openly that the chances are excel lent for a democratic victory iii the home state of the republican candidate. I feel more confident to-day of the cleo ton of MT. Bryan than at any time since the campaign opened"

BIow 1T CONSULAR ABUsgs.
Secretary 0Iney Prohibits Many Unjus
 Fees Against Shippers

Fees Against Shippers
 Washington, Oct. 21.-Secretary Olney issued to-day an order of far-reaching effect upon the consular service, which abolishes many of the fees against which foreign shippers and domestic importers have so long protested, and at the same time sweeps away the lu- crative attractions of many consulates abroad, particularly those in Great Britain, where the loss to consular off, cials in the shape of fees which they have hitherto retained will aggregate over s200,OOO. The new amendments to the consular regulations follow:
 No cath shall be required for the verification of invoices of merchandise on the free list or subject to specific duty only.
 2-The verification by oath of invoices of merchandise subject expressly or in effect to ad valorem duty may be re- quired when the consular officer to whom the invoices are paid has req sonable ground to suspect fraudulent undervaluation or otherwise misstated. CUnder this section any oath may be taken by commissioner or such other officers as are permitted by law)
 3-Consular officers are prohibited from entering the whole of the fees charged by a. commissioner or other of- ficer for administering oaths to in- voices, from receiving anything as a gratuity or otherwise on account of the administration of such oaths, and from being In any way, either directly or in directly, pecuniarily interested in such fees.
