ence to reports to the effect that for
mer Queen Lilioukalani had formally
abdicated in favor Of her niece, Prime
ess kaiulani, the ex-queen in person
gave TO representative of the Asso-

Louisville, KY, October 22.-There
was good card at the trotting meet

not break any records, but the former
established record for the track by
going the first heat IN 2:O5. Robert

Washington, D. c., October 22.-The
case OF Mgr. Schroeder continues to be
the absorbing topic among the dis
tinguished Catholic prelates assembled
to attend the annual meeting of Arch
bishops.
AS the Associated Press stated yes
terday the official announcement Of
the board of directors of the Catholic
University that the case was referred
to the Pope was made with the under
standing that Mgr. Schroeder would re-
sign within the year. This understand
ing as to future resignation has given
rise to another animated controversy.
Those who have pressed the charges
against Mgr Schroeder construe the
promise to resign within the year as
equivalent to a present resignation.
Mgr Schroeder insists, however, that
he has not rendered his resignation,
but in the interest of peace at the Uni
versity has said he would make any
personal sacrifice
The literal wording of that portion
of Mgr. Schroeders written statement
to the board is as follows
Il am ready to make that sacrifice
and will send my resignation to His
Eminence, the Chancellor, within or at
the end of the scholastic year-but this
resignation must be conditional on the
approval OF the Holy Father"
Another subject that has aroused
much feeling in the published reports
that Bishop Horstmann, of Cleveland
who acted as attorney for Mgr. Schroe-
der before the board, abandoned his
client. Bishop Horstmann to-day hand
ed the following to the Associated
Press:
ITO the Associated Press:
In the report of yesterday pro-
ceedings of the meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Catholic University
as found in the special report of GER
tain prominent journals, are state
ments which it is my desire to con-
tradict as regards what is said about
myself personally. l always have been
and still remain the devoted friend Of
Monsignore Schroeder. He is truly
worthy of that friendship. He always
has had, anu still has, my esteem as
an excellent priest, an eminent pro-
fessor and true friend. I did not aban-
don the cause of Monsignore Schroe-
der. | will ever be his defender. The
words attributed to me in the report
are absolutely false; and by inference
are not only unjust to myself but also
calumny against Monsignore
Schroeder. AS the members of the
Board were pledged to secrecy con-
corning its proceedings, l am not at
liberty to speak concerning them.
Ugh. F. HORSTMAN.

The committee of archbishops in

NOT AN ARMED EXPEDITION
The Cabinet Yesterday Discussed
the DauntIess Case.
A Vessel May Carry Arms IL No Men
Other Than the Crew Are
Taken Aboard.

The Cabinet at it's regular meeting yes
terday took up the whole question of vio-
lations of the neutrality and navigation
laws by Cuban filibusters with view to
deciding on some definite policy. No con-
clusion was reached at the special confer
ence held Wednesday between the Presi-
dent, Secretary herman, Secretary Gage,
Attorney General McKenna and Secretary
Long. The subject of granting clearance
papers to vessels loaded with arms and
munitions Of war was left open, with the
understan nding that the Attorney General
should examine law and precedent and
render an opinion requested by the Treas
ury Department on the application or the
steamer Dauntless to clear from jack
sOnvilIe with d cargo of arms and ammuni-
ton.
That opinion W as received atthe Treasury
Department yesterday, In view or the
fact however that the President and
Cabinet desired to give further considera-
ton to the matter. the Attorney General
does not state any definite conclusions on
which the department can act. He leaves
the question of granting clearance papers
to the discretion Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury for the time being In his
opinion, Mr. McKenna cites the fact that
the release OF the Dauntless by the United
States court, at Jacksonville, was on the
condition that the owner OF the vessel
should furnish bend to secure the Govern
ment against any violation of the neutrality
or navigation laws That bond has not
been furnished, and the Treasury officials
will hold this as a reason for not granting
clearance papers to the Dauntless until the
policy the Government has been definitely
settled.
The point at issue in the test case OF
the DauntIess has narrowed down to the
statement in the application Of her owner
that the vessel desires to clear with q
cargo of arms. but without more men
than are required to run her. This removes
the objection OF the Government to allow
ing any vessel to clear on what 1t con-
strues to be an armed expedition AS no
state of war is officially recognized as
existing in Cuba, either by the Govern
1nent of the United states or that OF
spain, the right of a vessel to leave
a mort of this country for a Spanish port
which includes the ports Of Cuba, under
manifest, properly declaring her cargo,
is not denied, although circumstances may
cause this Government to withhold its
consent. But where u larger number of
men than required TO handle the vessel
is carried, the idea of armed expedition
is suggested, and an armed expedition
is clearly in violation OF law. The Cabinet
did not decide upon any definite plan of
action
