WASHINGTON, Oct. 21-The cardi-
nal, archbishops and bishops, constltut-
ing the board of directors of the Cath
olic University of America, today de-
cided to refer the case of Monsignor
Schroeder, professor of dogmatic theol-
ogy at the university, to Pope Leo foE
final determination. This conclusion
was reached late this afternoon and
was formally announced in an official
statement issued by the board. The case
is one of the most notable in the recent
history of the church, and besides agl-
tating the hierarchy to the center and
engaging public attention in this coun-
try it has been considered at the
Vatican, and has been the subject OF
cable communications between Rome
and the papal delegate at Washington.
The decision of the board, as given
out by the secretary, Mgr. Conaty, is
as follows:
The board was notified that Mgr. Schroeder
intended to send in his resignation during
his last stay in Germany; that he dld not 40
SO on account of an advice received from the
HOLY Father. The board therefore leaves the
final decision to the Holy Father hlmseH
and expresses its regret at the many charges
made against Mgr. schroeder IN tnlS coHAec-
ton.
Beyond this the officials declined to
state any of the circumstances leading
I'D to the decision, although there was
an abundance of comment on its mean
ing and effect. 1t was understood that
while the decision was to refer the
case to Rome for final action, yet that
the board has expressed it's own view,
which would be forwarded to Rome
with Mgr. Schroeder's views, and that
his retirement would come about vol
UNFAIRLY within year. Statements

Paul. They succeeded in accomplish
ing this change owing to the kindly
assistance of some Of their friends in
the railroad business. The lake and
rail rates they asked for last season
were granted this season. Mr.. Young
was glad to say that the st. Paul job
bers had held their own and that the
situation here today was better than
that Of any other city. Having all
the facilities by rail and lake st. Paul
could not be bottled up during the
navigation season, and as some of the
railroads entering ST. Paul had the in
terests of the city sufficiently at heart,
it could never be bottled UP.
Referring to the assertion Of some
people that the future danger to st.
Paul is Duluth, Mr. Young admon-
ished his hearers not to believe that, as
50 per cent of the jobbing business was
done south of a line drawn east and
west through ST. Paul. In conclusion,
Mr.. Young said that the jobbers of ST.
Paul were we'll satisfied with the pres
ent situation, and predicted ultimate
success if they practiced eternal vigi-
lance and stood by one another.

Mr.. Gregg then announced that the

Low was next introduced. Such q
storm as arose has rarely been heard
in Carnegie hall. From the topmost
row of the topmost gallery, down
through the balcony, boxes and pit the
wild storm swept. 1t was exactly
four minutes before cheering subsidized
only to be brought to life again by the
mayor, who arose and demanded
three and three more for the next
mayor of Greater New York-Seth
Low"
For two more minutes the whirl-
wind of enthusiasm swept the house
and even after it had died out entirely
it was renewed when Mr.. Low had
said: Fellow Citizens"
Mr. Lows speech was an amplifica-
tion of the addresses that he had been
delivering throughout the entire cam
paign. He referred to Mr.. Platt as a
citizen of Oswego, and to Mr.. Croker
as freQuenter of the English race
track, and called on the hearers to
vote for home rule.
When Elihu Root, the next speaker,
mentioned Henry Georges name there
was vigorous applause in which Seth
Low Joined. The name of Gen. Tracy
was hissed.

rison, of Chicago, is coming here to

Tammany Sachenls From the outset
the Republicans have been criticised
by the Democratic managers and the
leaders and the newspaper supporters
of the Citizens Union movement for
importing campaign speakers; notable
among whom were Senators Foraker
and Thurston. The acceptance of
Mayor Harrison's tender of services
is regarded as a qualification of the
Democratic position on this subject.
Col William l.. Brown gave voice to
the dissentient sentiment today when
he said: II wrote to Mr.. Sheehan
some little time ago, protesting against
any such scheme of this kind. have
received a letter from Mr. Sheehan in
which he said that he entirely agreed
with me in the stand 1 had taken. 1t
is bad politics, unnecessary and ILL.,

York.
"Who, then" Col Brown was asked,
''is responsible. for Carter Harrison's
visit if Mr. Sheehan did not favor it?"

1t is believed that Henry George has
declined the services of the scores of
Populist and Silver orators, among
them Jerry Simpson and former Sem
ator Peffer who volunteered to speak
for him in New York.

Left With His
Holiness for a Final
Finding,
EFERRED BACK
TO ROME.

that Mgr. Schroeder had resigned, as a
preliminary to the reference of the
case to the pope, were positively and
authoritatively denied
After the board had adjourned,
representative of the Associated Press
asked Mgr Schroeder for an author
lied statement. He expressed regret'at
the prominence given to his name be-
fore the public, and said that he most
earnestly wanted to resign as pro-
fessor during his last vacation; that he
had been suffering very much from
neuralgia while in Germany, and the
physicians advised him to resign on
account of the great and continued
mental excitement connected with his
position; that he came back to the uni
versity because the holy father told
him to do so: that therefore he could
not resign without the consent of tbs
holy father; that as to the personal
attacks made upon him, his answer
was only contempt, and that he was
glad to hear that the board did not
take the charges into consideration.
The Schroeder case has been a re-
raarkable controversy in many re
spects Mgr Schroeder entered the
faculty of the university when it was
started and has been with it contin-
ucusly since. He is a recognized au-
thority on doctrinal and philosophical
subjects, a man of wide scholarship,
and considered the foremost Latin ora
tor of the church. OF recent years he
has differed with his associates on
questions of policy, and this was inten-
sifed at the time of the retirement of
Bishop Keane from the rectorship of
the university, it being asserted that
Mgr. Schroeder was in part responsible
for that change He was regarded as
the conspicuous exponent of the Ger
man clergy and views they entertained
on church policy.

union. His subject was How to Hog
1t by a Good Steerer,'' or, in other
words, the live stock industry. Speak
ing generally, Mr.. Stickney. said:
will give you "steerer'' to begin with.
An agricultural district will never reach its
highest degree of prosperity until the four
legged hogs exceed in number the two-legged
hogs. 1t is a curious fact in the settlement
and development of new country, that the
two-legged species always come hrst. Ihe
four-legged hogs follow the establishment OF
a market while the two-legged kind thrive,
regardless of markets.
1t is no easy matter to introduce to the
farmers in a newly settled country, the IN
dustry of raising hogs-but when 1t is falr!y
established it is found so profitable that 1t
can never be oblterated.
Mr.. Stickney then spoke Of the un-
satisfactory results of settlers engag-
ing in a single branch of agriculture
which led up to the conditions required
for raising live stock on the farms.
Said he:
South Dakota farm is adapted to raising large
punches of cattle and hogs, but l do assert
with confidence, that every quarter section
farm in both these states can raise two or
three bulocks, and say six to dozen hogs
per annum, at a smaller cost per animal
than the average cost Of the large herds
raised by the specialist in live stock, in the
corn belt or even on the ranges.
What would the raising of two steers and say
ten hogs per quarter section farm amount to
in the aggregate? In Minnesota and North Da-
kota there are probably 250,0O0 of such farms.
Two steers per farm means 50O,00O steers,
and ten hogs per farm means 2,5eO,0O0 hogs,
together of the aggregate value of, say, forty
or forty-fve millions of dollars per annum,
which can be produced on the farms Of Min
nesota and North Dakota, without reducing
the production of grain. On the contrary the
raising of this live stock would tend to in
crease the grain production by enabling the
farmer to fertilize his land.
Mr. Stickney proceeded to say, two
things We're essentially necessary. The
farmer must know how and there must
be an accessible market. He went on
to discuss the know how" and later
the market, giving a brief history of
the establishment of one at South st.
Paul.
In 1883, few gentlemen in this city. real
izing the Importance Of starting the live
stock industry on the farms Of Minnesota
and North Dakota, and the necessity Of such
a nearby market, as 1 have spoken Of under
took the establishing of such a market by
the building Of stockyards and packing
houses at South st. Paul. At that time there
was limited market for CATTLE and abso-
lutely no market for live hogs at either st.
Paul or MINNEAPOLIS: man bringing a
carload Of cattle to the Twin Cities for sale,
was compelled to peddle them out as a car
load of horses is now peddled out. You all

LONDON, Oct. 21-The stanch re-
sistance of the insurgent tribesmen,
when the British forces stormed the
Dargai ridge. of the Samana range,
Yesterday afternoon, and the apparent
iy heavy losses of the British in that
engagement, are facts viewed Win
serious misgiving in London today.
The insurgents were evidently in great
force, for in addition to being able
tn make a stubborn stand against the
British advance, they had contingent
of 1000 men to spare for fanking
movement. Not any of the stories OF
this fierce engagement suggest any de-
rncralization Of the enemy, who retired
in good order, and proceeded to con-
struct fresh defensive works on the ad-
iacent hills, showing that Afridiland
will probably have to be conquered
yard by yard.
The news of the massing of the At
ridis in the pass and the report that
they are stretching strong fortif1ca-
tions there is also most disquieting.
The newspapers here criticize the plan
of campaign, which apparently neces-
states capturing the same ground
twice, as the Dargal ridge was carried
on Monday only to be left for the
tribesmen to reoccupy it on Tuesday.
But, it appears that the British force
which first captured the ridge was not
provided with comnissariat supplies,

since. But think you VIII be interested In
a few details.
The yards and packing houses at South
st. Paul were ready for occupancy at the
beginning of the year 1883, and during the
year 1888 there were received 81 ola head OF
cattle, mostly range stock in transit to Chi
cago; 272, ,712 hogs, large portion Of which
were brought here from st. Joseph, Mo-, by
main strength, so to speak: 6lsS43 sheep,
5S31 car loads. At that time there was
absolutely no market worth speaking of for
cattle. The arrival of two or three car loads,
say forty or fifty head, at South st. Paul in
quired several days to sell, and frequently
they could find no buyers and had to be
shipped on to Chicago. This year it has been
no uncommon days work at4South st. Paul
to sell $500 to 1900 head ofacat-le.
The total receipts in the nine years from
1883 to 1896 inclusive, have been. 772 G61 head
of cattle, 40,2S5 calves, 2,53s lS2 hogs, 1,1S2-
S2S sheep, 11,514 horses; in all. II, 1853 car
loads. The shipments of live animals out of
South St. Paul during the same period has
amounted to 37,SoS carloads. ea dss OF the 772,O61
shipped out, leaving only 129,S2S cattle which
have been bought and slaughtered at South
st. Paul. or an average OF only IA 42o per
year; and of the 1872, S2S sheep received, &c.
625 have been shipped out, leaving only about
266. 200. or an average of less than 10000 per
annum which have been bought and slaughter
ed while of the 2539, 900 hogs received, about
100000 have been bought and slaughtered.
These statistics show in what department
is the greatest difficulty in establishing a
live stock market.
The discovery and development of the cold
storage house has made the dressed cat
business possible. Besides large working
capital. the successful prosecution of the
dressed meat business requires an enormous
invested capital in cold storage wholesale
market houses, scattered over the whole coun-
try one in each town of any considerable
Importance. 1t is a business of almost in
finite detail For a new concern to under
take to establish itself in the dressed meat
business is almost hopeless. The Minnesota
Packing and Provision company tried it at
South St Paul, and it was a failure.
There are but four concerns in the United
States who have been successful. And l am

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-A great DEM
orstration in favor of Seth Lows can
didacy for mayor took place in Car
throng, that filed every seat in the pit
crowded the boxes, and from thence
swept up to the topmost row of the
big gallery, was present. Even the
stage was uncomfortably crowded, the
benches that rose tier-like from the
lectern being jammed The most re-
fnarkable feature of the meeting was
the fact that it was not billed as "Citi-
zens," but as a Republican meeting,
being held under the auspices of the
Republican organization (anti-PlatD of
the city of New York.
About one-third Of the audience was
composed of women. Enthusiasm fair
ly bubbled over, and when the familiar
features of Mayor Strong appeared at
the bottom of the stairway leading to
the stage, the whole house stood up
and cheered. Immediately behind the
mayor cam the familiar features of
Seth Low. The first glimpse of the
candidate set the house wild. The wo-
men scrambled up into their seats and
waved their handkerchiefs and fairly
shrieked with delight. The enthusi-
asm verged close to the point of the
indescribable when Mayor Strong, the
candidate. Gen. Wager Swayne, Joseph
N. Choate, Elihu Root and Gen. Anson
NJ Cook stood in the center of the
stage. The mayor was absolutely de-
lighted and waved his handkerchief
back at the crowd which eheered him.
Then the crowd turned to Mr.. Low,
and gave him a grand ovation.
In calling the meeting to order the
chairman addressed the audience as
Fellow Republicans" and this evoked
cheers. Mayor Strong was intro
duced. He began by declaring that
the real, genuine Republicans" of
New York, were supporting Seth Low,
and then quoted Secretary of the In
terror Bliss bitter criticism of Senator
Platt few years ago. Mayor Strong
pointed out that in 1894 there were
several important speakers suggested
for doing campaign work In New York
and he told the managers of the cam
paign that he did not want any for
eigners at all. He believed in letting
the people of New York fight it out
and discuss it among themselves.
Mayor Strong then told of the good
accomplished by the present admins

of market for hogs and feeders, such as
has heretofore existed in South st. Paul, is
comparatively easy matter, but market
for hogs and feeders alone is not live stock
market
Rich men, by an expenditure of their
money, may build stockyards and packing
houses, but the establishment of live stock
market, as my good friend, Capt. Blakeley,
would say sis different part of speech.
To establish a live stock market not only
takes money, but losses, and in addition 1t
takes time.
Besides the considerable investment at
South st Paul. it has consumed ten years
of time and more direct loss than / would
be willing to make public, to build. up such
a limited market as has existed for hogs
and feeders. but have never regarded it es
a live stock market, until the location Of
Swift & Co.
In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say, that
Minnesota is rich in her forests, which are
iron ore. The silver and gold mines of Mon
tana, and the cattle and sheep industries
of the ranges of Dakota and Montana are
valuable adjuncts to the jobbing trade OF this
city. But the substantial foundation of your
trade and Of the wealth of this state is in its
agriculture.
and the hogs and the cattle are raised but
where the children, who, in few years, Will
be the controlling factors, are born and rear
ed-these the basis OF our present anu
future prosperity.
During the last few years you, as mer.
chants have been in distress Cold tnat
fetish of modern commerce, was DelnS eA-
ported And every time the announcement
was made that another million had been
engaged for shipment, the banks would give
another turn to the screw of the compression
of their credits, which constitute the medium
of exchange Of the larger transactions OF
commerce. Each turn of that screw made
the merchant sweat drops of anguish, and
compelled him to put the screws to his Gus
toners This screwing process hrst Dank-
rupted individuals, then reacted and Dank.
rupted banks until, finally, the treasury OF
the government itself was endangered. NOW
the position is reversed. The golden fetish
is returning, and we are met together to offer
thanksgiving for the return of prosperity.
1t is fitting that we should at this time IN
uuire who and what has wrought this magic.
Was it the two-legged hog, surrounded by
the luxuries of his palatial home on F1ftn
avenue and at Newport and Lenox? was II
the two-legged hog who sits in the marble
halls of legislature at Washington? All the
tW0-leeged hogs were absolutely powerless to
prevent the fetish from going or to induce
his returning With all their boasted wealth
and Importance, they could only supplicate
the government to issue bonds to save 1tseif
and themselves from the results of their
previous folly.
But, during all those years, the patient
farmer plodded away, producing more grain,
more cattle and more hogs. And in process
of time prosperity again returned, not at the
command of the two-legged hogs, but at the
command of the four-legged hogs, grunting
