SENATOR QUAY'S
WORK DOWN SOUTH
Mr. Bryan Will Hear the Results in
November.
SOME TIMELY CAMPAIGN LABOR
Itt'publicuDV Have Beeu at Work
While liryon Was Exhibiting Iliiif
sell in the EutThrir Congress
Committee Banks on 200 Sound
Money Representatives.
New York, Oct. 4. Senator Quay
teleuraiihed from his home In Beaver
yesterday that he would be at Repub
lican national heaitauarters on .Mon
day morning;. On Monday and Tues
day there will be important meeting:
of the executive committee and a gen
eral round-up of affairs before Chair
man Hanna'a departure for the seat of
war at Chicago. It has been said tnat
Senator Quay has spent the week at
his home celebrating his sixty-thlnl
birthday. It was ascertained yester
day that there have been many travel
ers from other slates who called on
Senator Quay "and congratulated him
on his sixty-third birthday." Then a
majority of these travelers dlseui-sed
aliairs In their states with Senator
Quay. Meantime some interested friend
of Senator Quay peddled a story to the
effect that Senator Quay had left the
headquarters in New lork because he
had a quarrel with Chairman Hanna
over alleged trilling differences with
Secretary William McKlnley Osborne.
Of course this story, which fooled
plenty of people, diverted attention
from Senator Quny's actual move
ments. At the proper time it was au
thoritatively denied by Chairman
Hanna.
Senator Quay Is familiar with the
workings of the campaign in all of the
southern states, and he has given par
ticular attention to the fight in Ken
tucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vir
ginia and Delaware and Maryland. He
Is an adept In carrying on campaigns
In states of tWs character.
Senator Quay, so his friends said yes
terday, and among them was Chair
man Hanna. does not quarrel over
pett1' matters. He has been too long
on turf to bother about trllles. Be
sides, it is well known that Senator
Quay is looking out for a man named
Quay that's himself and he isn't
quarreling with his old allies after the
battle has been won.
ONE RESULT,
tine result of Senator Quny's nego
tiations, with which Chairman Hannu
has been fully familiar, has been the
withdrawal of the Higgins electors in
Hie State of Delaware. Senator Hig
gins has not given up his light against
.1. Edward Addlcks by any means. He
has merely withdrawn theHigginselect-
ii . s for I he purpose ot aiding in the
election of sun mi money congressmen in
the Peach slate. After election the
Higgins people will resume their hostil
ities against Addlcks.
Tlie departure of Senator Quay from
headquarters Just as Bryan started on
bis speaking tour in the border states
(those already mentioned above), came
tit) yesterday in a discussion with
Chairman Hanna. who positively de
clined to tell what Senulor Quay had
been up to. Chairman llunna added:
"Everything will be known at the
proper lime, but there would be little
.sense in talking about such matters
an (his lime."
It is positively known, however, that
(he Republicans are banking on captur
ing most of I lie aforesaid States, atid

Jones, nol forgetting Senator Gorman,

While Bryan was trapesing through
the New England states the Republi
can National managers were putting
in heavy work In these border states.
t'huirimin Jones found it mil. and that
is one of the reasons why he tele
graphed lo Senator Gorman asking for
a conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. I
Senator Gorman bus gone to Maryland
itinl will attempt to save his State.
Meantime Bryan is trying to catch up
In the middle Western and Northwest
ern states, territories which he has ut
terly neglected because of his rapt
idea Dial he could capture New York
itinl the New England states. All the
time Bryan was racing up and down
slates which everyone lint himself
knew were lost lo lilm, the Republican
National managers, were subsoiling in
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana. Minnesota,

Sunday, hasn't said a word for publi
cation. Bryan knew it. all. In the esti

CHAIRMAN BVNUM ABSENT.
Important llusines Requires
His
Depnrture from t'hieago.
Chicago, Oct. 4. Chairman Byntint,
of the National Democratic executive
committee, left for the east last night.
Rumors have been rife that Friday's
committee meeting was far from har
monious and that the appointment of
ex-Mayor Hopkins as vice-chairman,
to have charge of headquarters In the
absence of Mr. Bynum, was a virtual
dethronement of the Indiana leader.
Evidently as a refutation of the
stories the sound money press bureau
announces that "Important business
pertaining to the campaign will require
Mr. Bynuin's absence from Chicago for
an Indefinite period. Before he left
headquarters Chairman Bynum an
nounced that John P. Hopkins, vice
chairman of the campaign committee,
will be In full control of the campaign
until Mr. Bynum returns. "And I de
sire to add," said Mr. Bynum, "that
when I am at headquarters, Mr. Hop
kins and myself will work In harmony
and will do all that lies In our power
to make the campaign for Palmer and
Buckner successful in every particu
lar." BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW.

Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 4. The conven
tion of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,

twenty bishops. The committees have
completed the last details and every
thing Is In. readiness for the convention.
DYNAMITERS EXPELLED.
Kearney and Haine Mysteriously
Disappear from (Germany.
Rotterdam, Oct. 4. The police here
refuse to give the slightest Informa
tion regarding the release of Kearney
and Haines, the two Americans who
wore arreHtod here on the rharpe of
rnmplU'lty in the Tynan dynamite plot.
There is scarcely any doubt that the
two men were expelled from the coun
try yesterday, but the police evidently
mean to keep secret ull the circum
stance of their departure.
It was stated yesterday that they hud
been escorted to the frontier, but It is
possible that they were placed on some
steamer bound for America.
EXPLOSION AT BULUWAYO.
Numerous Cnsen ol Dynamite and
Hlnnting Adeline Are Destroyed.
London. Oct. 4. A dispatch to the
Central News from Buluwayo gives
fin titer details of the disastrous explo

terday, resulting in some loss of life
and extensive dumuge to property. The

ing operations, and consisted of eighty
eight cases of blasting gelatine, 7l'"
cases of dynamite and 4,'itW boxes of
detonators.
The wreckage caused by the explo
sion was Immense. The Hist reports of
the loss of life were exaggerated. It
is known now that only one white man
and nine blacks were killed. The total
number of injured Is thirty-two. A
large number of horses and mules were
killed.

Northern Missouri. Many of the
Missouri farmers will travel 800 miles to

visiting delegations. The event of
commanding interest will be the visit
of WW ex-Confederate veterans on Fri
day. They are coming from the Sheli
undoah Valley and arrangements for
their reception ure tielng perfected. At
Pittsburg and various points on the
route thev will be made the recipients
of uncommon courtesies. The Grand

Captain General Weyler's initial op
erations in Inaugurating ihe campaign

The news fell like a bombshell in the
palace. The captain general will not
even permit the Havana representa

facts, and gave strict orders to the press
censor and post office officials to use
every effort to prevent the news of the
failure of his plans from getting out.

Washington. Oct. 4. Bishop John J.

signed at the request of Pope Leo XI 11.
The news, which became public here
today, is an unauthorised and some
what Inaccurate form, was entirely un
expected, and caused much comment In
Catholic circles.
Bishop Keane this afternoon made
public the ' official correspondence so
that the facts should be properly un
derstood. He accompanied it by the
following statement:
"Since my withdrawal from the rec
torship of the Catholic university of
America will probably be regarded by
a ronslderablii rtton of the American
public as a matter of some Interest to
them, and wince unauthorized state

it my duty lo state brlellly and clearly
the facts of the case.
"On September 28 I received through
his eminence Cardinal Uibbons a letter
from our holy father Leo XIII of which
the following: is a translation:
THE POPE'S LETTER.
To Our Venerable Brother. John Joseph
Keane, Bishop of Ajasso:
Venerable brother, health and apostolic
benediction. It Is customary that they
who ure appointed to preside over Catho
lic universities should not bold the ofUce
in perpetuity. This custom has grown up
through wise reasons.und the Roman pon
tiffs have ever been careful that it should
be adhered to. Since, therefore, venerable
brother, you have now presided for several
years over the university at Washington,
in the llrst establishment and subsequent
development of which you have shown
luudable zeal und dlllgency, It has seemed
best that Ihe above mentioned custom
should not be departed from; and that
another whose name Is to be proposed to
us by the bishops, fhoul.l be apiwinted lo
succeed you In this honorable position.
In order, however, that, in your resigning
this office, due regard may be had to your
person und your dignity, were it deter
mined to elevate you to the rank of arch
bishop. Uelng solicitous for your future wel
fare, we leave It to your own free choice
cither to remain In your own country, or,
If you prefer it, to come to Rome. If you
choose Ihe former, we will destine for you
some archepisvopal sec, by vote of the
bishops of the I'niled States, if you pre
fer the latter, we shall welcome you most
lovingly, und will place you among tho
eoiisultore of the congregation of studies
and the congregation of the propaganda,
in both of which you could do much for
the interests of religion In the I'niled
Stales. In tills latter cuse we would also
ah'sign you a suitable revenue for your
honorable maintenance.
Confidently trusting, venerable brother,
thut you will accept this our administra
tive net with heauy good will, we most
lovingly bestow upon you Ihe apostolic
beneilirtlon, u a pledge of our puternul

WELCOMES RELEASE.
"I welcome my release from the of
fice of rector of the . university with
profound gratitude both to Divine
Providence and the pope. While I al
ways regarded its duties as a labor of
love, they had grown to be fur beyond
my strength and abilities, and the de
liverance from the burden Is a response
to many prayers. I was too loyal a
Huldler to usk to be relieved from my
liost, no matter what the difficulties;
But feeling that nine years of strain
and solicitude in the work had brought
me close to the end of my brain and
nerve powers, I was fully ready to wel
cdme what has been done. I shall now
enjoy some mouths of greatly needed
rest on the Pacific coast, leaving all
plans for the future to a liter date.
"Of course, no one ffeeds to be as
sured that the action of the holy father
Is prompted not only by personal kind
ness toward myself, but also by earn
est solicitude for the best interests of
the university. He believes in rotation
of olllce as all sensible men must. He
knows the evils of allowing any official
ami especially the head of a university
to fossilize at his post and in this ail
must acknowledge his wisdom. His
enlightened prudence, and that of the
trustees who have to present the nomi
nations, will be sure to select a rector
in every way fitted to guide the work to
fuller and fuller success,
"From the peaceful retirement which
T trust is somewhat earned, I shall
ever watch Its progress with unabated
Interest. And 1 appeal to all whom
my efforts In behalf of the university
have ever reached, to redouble their
interest, their zeal, their generosity. In
this new chapter of the university's
existence and to make it what it by
right must be. the crowning glory of
Chris-thin education in America."
The university Is now in charge of
vice rector, the Rev. Father Oartigan.
who will direct its affairs until a rec
tor Is selected. The vice rector, speak
ing of Bishop Keane's retirement, said
that the faculty and all the students
were very unwilling to part with
Bishop Keane, who was beloved by all.
Tomorrow the fall course of the uni
versity begins, and the rector will for
mally announce his retirement..
The inception, progress and partial
completing of the great university was
the work of Bishop Keane. The build
ings already constructed, together with
the grounds and endowments made,
and chairs founded, aggregate several
millions of dollars in cost.
EASTERN SITUATION.
The Saltan Would Like to Eipel Ar
menians from Bulgaria.
London, Oct. 4. The Constantinople
representative of the United Associated
Presses telegraphs that the Porte will
request the Bulgarian government to
expel all unemployed Armenians from

on the ground that idle Armenians as

has protested against the proposed ac
tion of the Turkish government.
The correspondent further says the
serious disturbances occured at the Yil

their entrance, but In doing so killed
three r.f the Softas. The others were
