WASHINGTON' , Oct. 2-Tho ! cardinals , "
archbishops and bishops constltutliig the
board of directors of tlio Catholic University
of America , ilccliUU to refer the case , of
Mgr. Schrooilcr , professor of dogmatics
In the university , to Pope Leo for flnal de-
tornilnatlon This conclusion was readied
Jato thla afternoon and was fonnally an
nounced In an olllclal stutcment Issued by
the board. Tlic caao H the most notable In
thu history of the chinch , and besides agi
tating the hierarchy to thu center and en
gaging public attention In this country , It
lins been considered at the Vatican and has
been the subject of cable communications
between Home and the papal delegate at
Washington. The decision Of the board as
given out by the secietary , Mgr. Conity ,
Li as follows :
"The board was notified that Mgr. Schroe-
dcr Intended to send In hUi resignation dur
ing hlu lout stay In Germany , and that ha
did not do so on account of ttn advice re
ceived from the holy father. The board ,
therefore , leaves the final decision to the
holy father himself and expresses Its regret
at the many charges made against Mgr.
Schrocdcr in thla connection. "
MAY UETlltU VOLUNTAHILY.
Beyond thla the olllcials declined to state
any of the circumstances leading up to the
decision , although there \\as mi abundance
of comment on Us mcunlng and cltcct. It
\vas iimlcistood that while the decision waste
to refer the case to Homo for final action ,
yet the board has expressed Its formal view ,
which would bo forwarded to Rome with
Mgr. Schroeder'tt views ami his retirement
would como about voluntatlly within a year.
Statements that Mgr. Schrocder had re
signed as a preliminary to the reference of
the case to the pope , were positively and
authoritatively denied.
After the board Ins adjourned a reprcsen-
tntlvi ) of the Associated preui asked the
monslgnore for an authorized statement , lie
expressed regret at the prominence given
to his name before the public and said he
most earnestly wanted to resign as a pro
fessor during his last vacation ; that he had
been Buffering very much from neuialgla
while. In Germany and the phjsicians ad
vised him to icslgn on account of the great
and continued mental excitement connected
with his position ; that ho came back to the
university because the ho'y father told him
to do BO , that , therefore , he could not resign
without the consent of the holy father. To
the personal attacks made on him bis an
swer was only contempt and he was glad to
hear the board did not take the charge of
heresy Into consldcrairon.
CELKUHATBD CASE.
The case has been a remarkable contro
versy In many respects The professor has
been with the university since It started , Ho
Is a recognised authority on doctrinal sub
jects , a man of high scholarship and consid
ered the finest Latin orator of the church. Of
recent > cars ho has differed from his asso
ciates on questions of policy and this wus In
tensified at the time ot the retirement of
Bishop Keano from the rectorship , ot the
uulveislty , It being assorted that Mgr
Schroeder was In heart responsible for that
change. Ho was regarded as the conspicu
ous exponent of the German clergy and the
views they entwaiu 'il In rcgarl Jo church
policy , As a lesult of tlu llffeicnecs the at
tention of the board of directors was brought
to Mgr. Schroedor's case with a view to his
removal. When the board first met little
doubt was felt In university circles that his
retirement would bo brought about. It de
veloped that on SumU } last a cablegian had
been received by Mgr. Martlm.iil asking him
to Inform the hoard that the pope desired
Mgr. Schroeder to remain on the bouid. It
-was also brought to the board that Mgr.
Schrocdoi had expressed a willingness to ic-
slgn If allowed to da so by thu pope. Under
the circumstances , rftor tvo iliys of con-
gldciatlon the decision of to lay was reached ,
rcfoiilng to the pope the decision uf thu
case. i
' GENERAL MATTERS.
The executive committee was authorized to
sccuru such modifications In the charter as
may bo necetsary. The desire of erecting a
resldcnco for the rector within the univer
sity grounds was also recognUed aud the
power to act 'was given to the executive
committee.
Thu committee on organization reported
favorably on the coudltlona under which
seminaries might be affiliated with the fac
ulty of theology of the university and a
confeiente ot thu rector with the presidents
ot thu different seminaries was rec-om-
mauled.
The board accepted the report upon the
relations ot the university with the Sulpltlan
fathers , and adopted the plan proposed. The
Divinity college , both as to the spiritual di
rection ot the students and the domestic
economy , Is henceforth to be In the hands
of the Sulpltlau fatliciu , subject to the gen
eral coiiutllutlona ,
The flee scholarships which had been of
fered to Catholic colleges for the purpose
of encouraging good relations between the
colleges aud thu university weio approved
by the board.
The committee on uHullcs reported the
pproval of thu course of studies , and ex
pressed its glatlflcJtlon at the present
condition of work and discipline In the uni
verslty.

LONDON , Oct. 22. The Madrid corre
spondent of the Dally Mall says :
Scnor do Lome , the Spanish minister at
Washington , has been Instructed to notify
Ihe American government that henceforth
filibustering expeditions will be regarded as
breaches of lnternallor.il law. Such , at any
rate , Is the substance of his Instructions ,
though It Is Just possible that the form In
which they will be carried Into effect may
modify their Import.
A very bad Impression has been made
hero by the news from Havana that A ma
jority of the Important industrial , commer
cial , mining , railway and steamship enter
prises In Cuba are bolus rapidly converted
Into foreign companies , chlolly American and
English. It Is feared thai this may enable
the companies to claim damages fiom Spain
for looses during the war. Perhaps a fur-
1'icr reascn why they are seeking Kngllsh
ami American protection Is that the Cuban
capital fears the tyranny , disorder and
throat-cutting which will follow Immediately
on the proclamation of Cuban independence ,
when the time comes for It.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 21 Scnor Dupuy
do Lome , the Spanish minister , was among
Secretary Sherman's callers today , this

LONDON Oct. 21. The staunch resistance
of the Insurgent tribes when the British
forces stormed the Dargal ridge of the
Samana. range yesterday afternoon and the
apparently heavy losses of the British In
the engagements arc facts viewed with seri
ous misgiving in London today. The Insur
gents were evidently In great force , for In
addition to being able to make a stubborn
stand against the British advance , they had
a contingent of 7,000 men to s are for n
llanMng movement. Not any of the stories
of this fierce engagement suggest any de
moralisation of the enemy , which retired in
good order and proceeded to construct fresh
defensive works on the adjacent hills , show
ing that Afrldilnnd will probably have to be
conquered yard by yard
The news of the massing of the Afrldis In
the Sampaglm paes and the report that they
aio eiecling strong fortifications there are
also meat disquieting. The newspapers hero
criticise the plan of campaign , which ap-
Prently necessitates the capture of the same
ground twice , as the Dargal ridge was car
ried Monday , only to be left for the tribes
men to reoccupy on Tuesday. Hut it appears
that the British force which Drst captured
the ildgo was not provided with commissa
riat supplies and the dinicultles ot forwardIng -
Ing them from the base were Insurmounta
ble. Six olllcers and 100 men vvero killed or
wounded In the storming of the Dargai ridge ,
( According to a special dispatch from Simla
the casualties during the fighting jesteiday ,
which icsulted in the storming of the Dar
gal rldgo by tb" second division of the Hrlt-
Ish troops , were as follows- The officers
killed were Captain Clurlcs Judge ot the
Second Gurkhas , Lieutenant Alexander Lament -
mont of the Gordon Highlanders and Captain
Smith of Iho Derbyshire regiment. The
wounded olllcers are Lieutenant Robinson ,
who Is dangerously hurt ; Major Forbes Mac-
Hean and three others Of the rank and lilo
150 wcio killed or wounded.

LITTLE ROCK , Ark. , Oct. 21 A special
to the Gazette from Fort Smllh , Ark. , bays :
It has just leaked out hero that the full-
blood Cherokees have been secretly arming
themselves and securing large quantities of
ammunition for several weeks , but it has
been especially brisk since the return of the
attorney sent to Washington to enjoin the
Dawes commission from proceeding to make
Ihe citizenship rolls. Tnc majority of the
Cherokees are opposed to the treaty , but
the most bitter feeling Is among the Ignorant
full-bloods. They have prepared to resist
any attempt to change their tribal govern
ment.
Several leading advocates of allotment and
treating with the Dawcs commission have
been warned to cease the negotiations or
their lives will bo taken. As the Indians are
great sportsmen and use large quantities of
firearms and ammunition , they bavo been
able to sccrcto all the weapons they wanted
without attracting unusual attention.
IA prominent man who enjoys Iho confi
dence of the full-blood leaders anived here
today and bounded the note of warning , Ho
says his life would not bp worth one cent
on bis return lo the nation it it should be

NRW YORIC , Oct. 21. A great demonstra
tion In favor of Seth Low's candidacy for
mayor took place In Carnegie hall tonight.
A tremendous throng that tilled every seat
In the pit crowded the boxes and from thence
swept to Ihe lop row of Iho big gallery was
present. Even the stage was uncomfortably
crowded , the benches that rose tlcr-llko from
the lectern being Jammed. The moat remarkable -
markablo feature of the meeting was the fact
that It was not billed aa a "clllzcns , " bul a
republican meeting , being held under the
auspices of the republican organization ( antl-
Plall ) of Iho city of New York. About one-
third of the audience was women. Enthusi
asm fairly bubbled over and when the fa
miliar features of Mayor Strong appeared at
the bottom of the stairs leading to the stage
Iho whole audience stood up and cheered.
Immediately behind Iho mayor came Scth
Low. The first glimpse of the candidate set
the liouso wild. The women scrambled up
Into thch scats and waved their handker
chiefs and fairly shrieked with delight.

Cook look the center of the stage. In callIng -
Ing the mccllng lo order the chairman .id-
drcsscd the audience as "fellow republicans"
and this evoked cheers.
STRONG SPEAKS.
Mayor Slrong was introduced and could not
speak until ho had endured another burst
ot cheering , Mr Strong began by declaring
thai the "real genuine republicans" of New-
York were supporting Seth Low and then
quoted Secretary ot the Interior Hllss' bit-
ler crlllclsm ot Senalor Platt a few years
ago. Mayor Strong pointed out that In 1891
there were several Important speakers sug
gested fop doing campaign work In New
York , and he told the managers of the cam
paign that he did not want any ot the for
eigners here at all. Ho believed In let
ting the people of New York fight it out
and dls'cuss It among themselves. Mayor
Strong then told of the good accomplished
by the present administration.
General Wager Swayne , the next speaker ,
was lustily cheered.
OVATION TO LOW.
Scth Low was then Intioduced. Such a
storm as rose has seldom been heard In the
hall. It was pxactly four minutes before
the cheering subsided , only to be brought to
life again by the mayor , who rose and "de
manded three and three more" for the "next
mayor of Greater Nevv York Seth I ow. "
For two minutes more the whirlwind of
enthusiasm tswept the house and even after
It had died out entirely It was renewed when
Mr. Low had said "Fellow Citizens" Mr.
Low's speech was an amplification of the ad
dresses that he has been delivering through
out the entire campaign. He referred to
Mr. Plan as a citizen of Oswego and to Mr.
Croker as a frequenter of the English-race
Irack. and called on his hearers to vote for
home rule.
When Ellhu Root , the next speaker , men
tioned Henry George's name there was applause -
plauso In which Selh Low joined
Joseph Choate was cheered more heartily
than any other speaker , but the mayor was
referred to "as the nexl senalor from New-
York. " His speech set Iho house fairly
wild. Speaking of Senalor Plait , he said.
"Ho docs not belong to Now York and
thank God , New York doeb not belong to
him. "
General Anson G. McCook was the next
speaker. There was an overflow meeting In
the street , vvhero 4,000 persons listened to
many speakers and shouted for several
hours.
SPEECH HY GEORGE.
Henry George and ex-Postmaster Dayton
spoke tonight at a Thomas Jefferson mass
meeting In the borough ot Hronx. Henry
George was greeted with deafening applause.
The first part of his speech was an explana
tion of the principles on which ho expected
to be elected. Ho said : "I say nothing
against the personal character of any man.
If Croker got his palaces and race horses
honestly , let him remain here. If they were
procured by robbery of the people , by the
misuse ot power ho usurped , let him go to
England. It I have Ihe power , Ihe peniten
tiary yawns for him. If I have Ihe power ,
Iho falo ot HOES Tweed and John Y. McKano
will be hlb. I make no Ihreats , but a great
crime has been committed. "
Tom L. Johnson of Ohio was the next
speaker.
Uobcrt A. Van Wyck , the democralic nomi
nee for mayor , was slated for a speech at a
Tammany meeting tonight at the Jefferson
club house , but ho failed to put In an ap
pearance , Inslead however , he sent a letter
which was read to the audience It was an
atlack on the present clly administration.
General Benjamin r. Tracy , candidate for
mayor , tonight made his first speech in the
borough of the illront. The meeting' was at
tended by about 2,000 persons General
Tracy and thp other candidates were en
thusiastically received.
OHJEOT TO HARRISON
The announcement that Mayor Harrison
of Chicago Is coming to speak in behalf of
Judge Van Wyck , the Tammany nominee for
mayor , Is not received with ifavor even by
the 'Tammany sachems Vrom tha outset
the democratic managers have criticised
other parties for importing campaign speakers -
| ers , notable among whom were Senators
Poraker and Thurston. The acceptance of
Mayor Harrison's Under ot services Is re
garded as a stultification of the democratic
position on this subject.
Colonel William Hrown gave voice to the
dissentient sentiment today when he said
'I wrote to Mr. Shcelian some little time
ago , protesting against any scheme of this
kind. I hava received a letter from Mr
Sheehan In which ha said ho entirely agreed
with mo on the stand 1 had taken. H Is bad
politics and unnecessary and Ill-timed to
bring Mayor Harrison lo New York "
"Who then , " Co'onel Hrown was asked ,
"Is responsible for Carter Harrison's visit
If Mr Sheehan did not favor It ? "
"That. " ho replied , "I leava It to you to
conjecture "
It is believed that Henry Ocorfo has de
clined the ( .ervlceb of the faeorca of populls'n
and silver orators , amons them Jerry Simp
son and former Senator Pcffer , who volun
teered to speak for him In Now Yoik
Gcorgo hts 300 speakers , nearly nil resldcnu
of Greater New York.

The weather was BDIIIO cooler yesterday
than on Wednesday. There was not so much
sunshine , and for awhile in the afternoon
It had the appcarance ot lain. It li promised
that thu weather today will bo fair and
warmer.
York Is alnrst complete. After some
hesitancy the united democracy , sometimes
called the O'Hilen democracy , his decided
that Its place Is with Henry George. Moie
Influential , because numerous , Is the Man
hattan democracy , which baa elected to sup
port Seth Low. The potency of the 20,000
votes which the Stockier brolho-s assert to
ha\o organized and controlled was recog
nized under the Gllroy-Tammany reglmo by
the appointment of one of the Stecklers to u
city judgeshlj ) A point upon which the
Stcckleritcs largely drawn from the German
clement In New York find themselves at one
with the Cltl/cns' union is the Issue of
sumptuary legislation , for in his letter of
acceptance which has Flood as the plat
form of the citizens' union In this cam
paign , Mr. Low said of the existing excise
law"Whoie the Raines law falls as applied
to Now York , It fails because It docs not
lake into account the public sentiment of
the city. Now York , while characteristically
an American city , is ulso , as the Germans
Bay , a world city. Men of every sort of up
bringing jnust be ablqto live In such a city
happily and naturally , of course , with due
rcgiird to the lights and convictions of
others "
Under the circumstances II Is lo bo ex
pected that Tammany will suffer by Ihe
decision in the Stechlerlte councils to stand
by Low. To what extent the action of the
united democracy will affect the result Is
subject to much wider conjecture. Its mem
bership and the loyalty to Its loaders of that
membeishlp are comparatively unknown
quantities Latterly the organization has
taken sides with the free silver elemenl In
Ihe parly and It was foremost In the demand
that Henry George declare himself un
equivocally in sympathy with the platform
adopted at Chicago last year.

DES MOINES , Oct. 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Shaw and Mllliman , the republican
standard bearers In the present campaign ,
were given a splendid reception at the
Capital city tonight. Two great meetings
were held , ono at Posters oprra house on the
west and the other at the Tabernacle on the
easl side of the town. Mr. Shaw opened the
meetingat Foster's , whcie ho was Intro
duced by Mayor John MacVicar. He spoke
an hour and was then driven to the Taber
nacle , where ho closed the meeting which
had been opened by Captain Mllliman , whllo
the latter made the closing address at Fov
tcr'a.
tcr'a.Mr.
Mr. Shaw spoke this afternoon at Indlan-
ole , and after the close ot the meeting was
driven eighteen miles to DPS Molnes , thus
making three speeches during the day. He
made a new address , delivering It for the
first time here. He opened with the declara
tion , which was cheered , that the state Is
sues do not dcslgnalo Iho line on which par-
tics divide this campaign ; that the money
question Is still the ono great Issue In poll-
tics , because the failure of a great repub
lican victory this year would amount lo a
vole of lack ot confidence In republl an
meaflines which are Just now provln so
effective toward restoring confidence unil
prosperity to the country. With this intro
duction ho proceeded to a discussion of the
silver question and the tariff. Ha held that
the panic of 1S93 was caused In part by the
democratic legislation on the tariff question
and In part by Ibo fear lhat the country-
would go to a silver basis.
"It the extra session of congress had re
pealed the purchasing clause of the Sherman
law , adopted u resolution to make no
changes In the tariff and gone homo , the
panic of 1893 would have been at an end , "
ho declared.
Ho closed with an earnest appeal to sound
money democrats to remain true to their
cause by continuing their alliance with the
ono great party which gave assurance of n
stable financial policy.

I ii I e re e lie. ,
A day and n lalf of legal maneuvering
and argument , which , In. a nutshell , was over
Ihe ( lursllon ot whether the trial ot Iho
state's case against the Hartley bondsmen
for the recovery of Hartley's half n million
dollar defalcation shruld be continued ilnttl
the nexl term of the dlstrltl court , with
nn absolute dlsmlssil of the proceedings al
ready had , ended at noon ycsteirtay In a sen
sational explosion of wrath by Attorney Gen
eral Smyth , which brings thu end of the
tilal once more In s-lnht
"Before 1 will allow the trill to bo con
tinued to the next term , bv which time the
sureties will bo able to get every remain
ing doll.ir's worth ot their property out c ?
their hands I will stand on the case I have
trade oul and If I am beiten I will carry
It to the supreme court , " was his angry
decision , and ho took until i o'clock to
deli'imlne whether or not he would abldo
by this determination
This outburst was one of two sensational
and dramatic scenes which occurred during
the proceedings ycslcrday. The olhor hap
pened loto In the afternoon and was dc-
fldcdly exciting , as Attorney General Smyth
openly challenged General Cow In to meet
htm on the outside of tlio court room If ho
wanted sati&facllon , The outbieaks were
but the culmination of bad feeling that had
been developing between the Iwo lawyers
for some days past , which has before mani
festo ! llselt principally In veiled and Indl-
rccl remarks.
ins IVIDINCK SHUT OUT.
Both the incidents occurred In connection
with the attempt made by Attorney General
Smyth to Introduce In evidence the waivers
of the original bond&mcn to the addition of
signatures to the bond It appears abso
lutely essential tor success that this should
be brought In to break down tibcbuttntloi ! *
of the defense that the sureties arc released
because they signed the bond with the un
derstanding lhat nil legal piovlslons In con
nection wllh It were observed They claim
that one statute was nol obeyeJ tn thai the
bond was not approved on the flrsl day of
Hartley's term , Jannaiy 3 , ISSl. If the at
torney general could get the waivers In ho
could provo through them that the sureties
knew that Iho bond had not been algncd
by that date and In the face ot the fact
allowed their names to remain on the bond ,
because Iho waivers are dalcd after Jan
uary a , 1S95 11
Tor two days Attorney General Smyth has
been fighting stubbornly to introduce the
waivers , but ho appears lo have been out
generaled by the defense. He tried to get
them In as rebuttal testimony on Tuesday ,
but Judge Powell would not allow It. On
Wednesday the courl gave him permission
lo amend his petition to as to Include ( ho
waivers therein. He offered the petition , so
amended , on the afternoon of lhat day. Yes
terday the defense objected to the tiling of
the petition , but this objection wa ? over
ruled.
After the amended' ' petition had been filed
the defense Inalstul th.it they should have
a continuance over Iho teim , as they al
leged that entirely new Issues had been
raised. Judge Powell said ho must grant
that continuance , thus dropping all proceed
ings HO far had at the cost of the state , and
dismissing the present trill. 'Ihen. Attorney
General Smyth withdrew the amended pell-
linn and afler falling to have the tame mal
lei Incorpoialcd In his reply , sot out to try
the case under tire original pleadings. Hut
he had gotten but very lllllo distance when
he again tried to IntrodiiLO the waivers un
der the reply , and argument on that point
was Just completed yesterday afternoon 1
when adjournment was taken.
OHJKCl'TO NiW PETITION.
When court convened yesterday morning
Iho mailer ot tiling the state's amended
petition came up , Iho defense having ex
amined Iho Instrument over night. General
Cow In announced that the defense objected
to the filing.
The obJeclloiiB offered were that the
amended petition < et up an entirely now
canto of action , abandoning completely the
caubo of action upon which the case had been
tried ; lhat the pel million to fllo the amended
j petition wan asked at a time when the trial
was almost completed , both Hides having
res toil and the state being engaged In put
ting In Its rob u ttn I teHtlmnny , that the Illlni ;
wax not In thu Interest of jimllro , not ac
cording to law , contiary to Iho rules of the
court , and u hardship upon the defendants.
Attorney 13. M. Hoi licit and General Cowln
pent two hours In arguing In support of the
objection to the filing of Iho amended peti
tion.
Both Attorney General Smyth and As
sistant Smith argued In answer.
It was almost noon when the discussion
was concluded. Judge Powell decided to
allow the amended petition to ho filed ,
The defending cnum-cl InsUtid that they
could not proceed to trial at once on tba
alleged new Issues , and Ihrnforo asked for
A contlnuaiim. Attorney Genoial Smyth
maintained that there was no need ot It , aa
veiy little new evidence would ncpd to bo
Introduced.
Judge Powell determined , however , tliat
the defendants wciu entitled lo pome time.
