SPIES ARRESTED.

Two Emissaries of the German Police Placed
Under Arrest In Switzerland.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
LONDON, Jan. "A dispatch from Berne,
Switzerland, gives the following particulars of
the arrest. at Zurich, of Heupt and Schroeder,
the spies sent to Switzerland by the German po-
lice to incite the Swiss Anarchists, the informa-
ton having been furnished from the highest Of
ficiai source. Both Heupt and Schroedcr were
known ardent Anarchists but the Socialists
of Geneva, finally suspecting them of treachery.
enticed Heupt from eaeneva TO zusIsI, where
both he and Schroeder resided, and confronted
one with the other. Heupr was met at Zurich
by Socialists of his acquaintance and immedi-
ately marched to Schroeder's house. which
the escortine party searched from top to bot
tom, with the result of finding a quantity
of dynamite, and number of letters from
Police Inspector Dranger. of Berlin. Both the
explosive material and the letters were handed
at to Inspector Fischer, of the Zurich
police. Heupts house was then searched and
large number OF letters from Police Inspector
Hacke, of Berlin, and other damaging evidences
of his duplicity. were found. Among the papers
and documents found were q set of accounts
proving that Heupt had continually received a
salary Of 250 marks month from the German
police since 1880. and had also been paid IA, 900
marks for extraordinary expenses within the
same period. Both men were committed to
prison. charged with inciting outrages
against life and property. The imme-
diate employer of Heupt and Schroeder
Won Ehrenberg, formerly captain in the Ger
man army was also known to the Swiss So
cialists ardent Anarchist. Search was inn
mediately made for him, but he had been warned
and escaped to Carsruhe. His period of liberty
was cut short, however. for he was arrested by
the German authorities soon after his arrival at
Carlsruhe, and taken to Baden to undergo the
sentence of q court-nartial passed upon him at
that place some years ago. The Swiss police
scout the idea suggested that the dynamite
found in Schroeder's house was sent from Berlin
for the purpose of assassnating the Gear during
his late journey from Copenhagen to ST. Peters
burg, should opportunity offer. It is expected
that the dismissal retirement of Inspectors
Kruger and Hacke will be deemed advisable, if
not necessary.

IRELAND AND THE POPE.

Mr.. Gladstone Will Not Appeal to Leo
Possible Action of the PontiH.
Special to the indianapolis journal
LONDON. Jan. "A rumor gained wide circu-
lation here to-day that Mr. Gladstone intended
to plead the cause of Ireland with the Pope dur
ing his stay at Rome. The story is extremely
ridiculous, and even those most industrious in
its circulation laugh at the idea. Il has no
other foundation whatsoever than the fact that
Mr.. Gladstone is the guest, at Florence of Sig
nor La Calta, who. thirty years ago. was the
Liberal leaders private secretary. and is the
weeks ago, resigned his seat in the House Of
Commons member for Dundee. because. as he
alleged he found himself .'unabla to steadily
support Mr.. Gladstone. whose imntoderate atti-
tude was q hindranca to the granting Of
home rule to Ireland. Mr.. Gladsones methods
of securing to Ireland the boon of local. self-gov
ernment are admittedly peculiar, but they do not
include personal appeal to the Pope to in

could not intervene between the political parties
in Ireland. but that when his Holiness received
Mgr .Perciso's final report he might advise the

THE MEALEY KILLING.
New Orleans Greatly Excited Over the Tragedy
Newspapers Urging Resort to Violence.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis journal.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2-There is still in
tense excitement throughout the city over the
killing of Hon. Patrick Mealey, and all sorts of
rumors are in circulation. 1t was reported half
a dozen times to-day that Mike Sheehan had
been assassinated, but each report proved to be
unfounded. Sheehan is the McEnery leader in
the tenth ward. and Glare, the alleged slayer of
Mealey. was one of his ward supporters. The
city is full of threats that not only Sheehan,
but several other McEne1v leaders are TO DO.
assassinated. but no serious trouble is likely
to happen until Thursday the day of the pri
maries. Mealey was buried this afternoon
the funeral Being of the largest ever seen
in this city There were two hundred carriages
in line and about one thousand members of
labor organizations, several hundred fremen
and an equal number of orphan girls followed
the hearse on foot.
The Mascot. an illustrated weekly paper had
got out an extra purportng to give pictorial
representation of what it called ''the assassina-
tion of Mealey by McEnery's strikers" This
was acc ompanied by an in6ammatory edi-
torial. and the paper was eagerly bought
csssion The Mascot was followed by
an evening edition of the Daily News, an ex-
tremely partisan journal, containing editorial
urging the lynching of all those under arrest as
principals and accessories in the killing, and
giving an affidavit of the gunsmith who sold
Glare the pistol with r.! which Mealey is said to
Glare obta ined the pistol on orders from
j. d. Houston, chairman of the McEnery
campaign committee. and Mike Sheehan.
This publication intensified the feeling of
bitterness which soon subsidized, however, when
a later edition of another evening paper con-
tanned a statement from the same gunsmith to
the effect that the affidavit was true as far it
went but that he also informed the News that
he had subsequently found that the orders had
been forged. Suppression of this part of the
statement by the News is generally believed to
have been made for the purpose of provoking
mob violence by Mealey's friends. and is gener
ally denounced.

A LAND-GRABBING WAR.
The Purpose Which Inspires the Men Who
Instigated the Warfare Against the Yaquis.

SAN Francisco Jan. "A special to the Ex-
aminer from Nogales, A. t., says: ''Strange
and startling news has been developed in the
past few days in the Yaqui river campaign.
The Yaqui war has been carried on with the
understanding that at its close the lands on the
Yaqui and Mayo rivers were to be divided in
severalty among the Indians, and by making
the Yaquis and Mayos believe this, majority
surrendered 1t has now come to light that the
Mexican gunboat Democratic has secretly
moved. at various times, over 1,500 Indians
from the river. They have been taken to the
State of Colima, where they are dying of fever
and other diseases. Chief Cajams, who was
supposed to have been shot, according to the
military customs of the country is said to have
been asSassinated after making a confession.
He was taken aboard the gunboat at Guaymas,
aud at dead of night the vessel steamed down
to the mouth of the Yaqui river, where he was
given horse and escorted on his return to his
village, as thought; but it is charged that
while leading the party one of his escort rode
up behind him and shot him in the back After
he fell several other balls fired into his
body. On what pretense the Indians were in
vited aboard the Democratic is not known.
Land-erabbers, who are said to be very near the
federal government, are gradually absorbing all
tillable land in the valley. The remainder of
the Yaquis are dsaffected, and two or three
light skirmisheS which have taken place in the
past. it is expected, will be followed by open
war. The Indians are destitute. Militia patrol

ROBBING A PRIEST.
Masked Men Succeed in Securing Small
Sum of Money by Threats of Killing.

NEW BRIGHTON, Pa. Jan. 2-Oae Of the
most daring robberies ever perpetrated in Bea-
yer county occurred this morning. about O'Clock,
ut the residence of Rev. Father Bieham. pastor
of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, of this place.
Mrs. Cristy, the housekesper Of the minister,
had been sick and was occupying room with
Mrs. Mary Mentally, who acted in the capacity
OF nurse, and young niece. about fourteen
years of age. At the haur named Mrs. Cristy
awoke and discovered two masked men in the
room. The robbers then drew their revolvers
and demanded her money. She replied that she
had none. At this juncture Miss Gertie Clarke,
the niece, awoke, and, seeing the men. began to
scream. and Mrs Cristy, taking advantage of
the confusion, pressed an electric button which
rang bell in Father Bighams room. The
priest, suddenly aroused, confused and half
asleep, rushed out into the hallway, thinking
the woman had been taken very Ill. and that his
services were required. One of the robbers
rushed to the hall and forced the reverend
gentleman into his room, where he at once hid
his yaluables. money and watch The burglar
then told him to open the door or they would
batter it down. and Father Bigham replied, "I
will shoot you through ths door," But the
villain had prepared for this by taking the young
lady out of bed and holding her before them,
whore she called to the wel-nigh frantic priest
ceive the shot. The priest then hid
the revolvsrs and opened the door,
when the burglar made search
of the room, but failed to find anything of much
value. He asked for the gold watch which the
priest always carried, and upon it being
planned to him that it was loaned to brother,
became so iexasperated that he dealt Father
Bigham blow with revolver which felled him
to the floor. The robbers then forced the four
occupants of the house to walk down stairs. and
at the muzze of revolver compelled the priest
to open safe and give them the contents,
amounting to $115, which had been taken in the
Sunday collections. The pair then departed,
after exacting solemn oath from all concerned
that they would not give the alarm for hour.
Several hours later, Detective LazZarus. of
Rochester. arrested three men on suspicion and
took them to Rochester, where two of them were
positively Unidentified as the men who committed
the robbery.

WAR AND PEACE RUMoRs.
There Are Plenty of Both Sorts, and Readers
Can Take Their Choice.


BERLIN, Jan. 2-The North German Gazette,
referring to the pessimist reports arising from
the fact that Gen. Won Scbweintz, the German
ambassador to Russia. has not yet visited the
Gear at Gatschina, says that no special circum-
stances rendered it necessary that the Gar
should give audience to Gen. Won Schweinitz at
Gatschna, nor should any bad inference be
drawn from the further fact that Emperor Will
lam sent no autograph letter to the Gar.
Count Peter Schouvaloff has returned to ST.
Petersburg. Although without special mission
to Berlin, his presence there tended to relax the
tension.
The Gazette also, in the course of a political
review of the year just closed says the publica-
tion of the forged documents recently sent to the
Czar is without doubt the most important event
of recent history, and affords eloquent proof of
the loyal intentions of the Czar In paving the
way for a modification of the existing situation.
The Berlin National Zeitung states that EN-
peror William, during his reception. yesterday,
of the officers of the guards, briefly said: ''I
would point out that this year your chief atten-
tion will be claimed by the maneuvers which the
guards and the Third Army Corps have been
ordered to execute"

information, that the movement of Russian
