Well Known Priest Disappears
Under Mental Delusion.
ACTED IN STRANGE MANNER
Report That There In a women In
The Case IL Not Generally BE-
iieved by Friends.

Rev. Father Andrew V, Keenan,, chap
lain Of st. Mary's cathedral, has been
missing since Sunday afternoon, and
up to date of writing no trace OF him
has been found. Father keenan, told
Vicar General Klely after Saturday
nights mass that he had been aillng
from summer complaint for several
days, and was very weak. He was ad-
monished to take care of himself. as he
would have to fast the following day,
and then Il would be also Catholic SER
vice day at the state prison. when he
was expected TO conduct the service
there.
Father Keenan, conducted the early
mass Sunday at the cathedral as usual,
but at the ii o'clock service he acted
strangely whlla preaching. He began
by stating that he did not intend to
preach that mornlng-only talk, and
that II was not his intention to give
them the hell fire" which was preached
TO them the previous Sunday morning,
but to dwell on topics Of the day. From
that point the fathers remarks became
more incoherent and ambling, so that
the congregation ala not know what to
make OF IT, Finally a lady parishoner
left the church, and hurrylng to the
bishops residence, told him something
was the matter with Father Keenan,
and II would be well for him to come
down TO the church. The bishop sent
Father Kelly, and the moment the lat.
ter appeared inside the church door
rather Keenan, saw him and immedi-
ately brought his remarks to a close.
There was no faintlng, either ~ the
part OF the preacher or OF anyone in the
audience.
Father Kelly questioned his brother
priest closely In the sacristy as 10 his
cratic conduct, and asked u he had
been drinking. Father Keenan, seemed
much hurt at this, and emphatlcally
denied II. Then the vicar general en-
deavored to get Father keenan, up 10
,he bishops house but without sue
cess the priest acting as though OF
unsettled mind. and finally Father
Kelly mad TO leave him at the church.
Father keenan, was not seen after that
by any OF the bishops household
Some rather rank stories were cur
rent this morning relative TO alleged
relations OF the missing eccleslastic
with a well known widow lady member
Of the cathedral parish. But careful
INQUIRY does not substantiate any OF
these. Father Kelly believes Father
keenan.s mind Is affected, and he has
gone OH under some deluslon.

TRANSMlSSISSPPI
CONGRESS DOINOS.

St Paul. Mimi, Aug. 2l.--Thc
Transmlssissipp Commercial congress
today took up the special order fixed
late yesterday and VIM. Henry Eustls
OF Minneapolis opened the discussion in
support Of his motion TO expunge from
the records the address of r. b. Thur
Der of New York, who had declared
that there was no such thing as a meat
trust. Mr. Eusts charged that the So
called trust was seeking TO use this
commercial congress for its own ends.
He dill not think the money OF this Or
ganization should be spent to circulate
the speclous arguments Of any trust.
A. c. Lewis OF Oklahoma thought the
address should be printed for the sake
OF completeness OF records, but that
such publication did not commit the
congress 10 the ideas OF Mr.. rhurber.
He argued for courtesy 20 the speak
ers Ct the congress and insisted that
the opinions OF the congress should be
voiced through the resolutions and that
none should fear the addresses deliv-
cred.
w. II. Torbett of Dubuque and Rufus
A. H0yt OF Minnesota supported the

Mr. Thurber replied 20 Mr.. Eustls ex-
planning thnt he was here as one inter-
ested in the objects of this congress
He said that he was personally inter-
ested in cattle raising and hts paper
was intended TO give his honest views
on the meat industry. he argued FOR
free speech insisting that the opinion
OF the congress should be expressed
by the resolutions. and that no MEM
ber's opinion ought to be suppressed.
r. Il. Moses OF Kansas city argued
for free speech and free thought as
sorting that such a proposition as that
now before the congress had never be-
fore been presented In the entire history
of the orPaniza ton.
Tom Richardson OF New orleans
drew the distinction that the speeches
are part OF the proceedings OF the con-
gress. but were not the opinions OF the
CONGRESS.
Walter Gresham OF Texas opposed The
resolution. Mr.. Eustis said that In The
Interest ~ harmony and because this

mat might have resulted from the al
fress r. question, he would Withdraw
