PROBABLY A ROMANCE.
A Yeung Man Seeks Transportation Back to
San Francisco.

PITTsBURG, March ga young man
giving the name of Joseph Henselman of
San Francisco entered the police station last
night and said that he had just received a
letter from his mother in San Francisco
warning him against Pinkerton detectives.
who, she asserted, are on his track for
alleged embezz ement of $1,000 from the
Overland Stage and Transfer Company.
The young man said that he is innocent OF
the charges, and that be has been driven
about the country for some months by Pink
erton men. Henselman admitted holding po-
sitions OF trust for several years with the
Overland Stage and Transfer Company,
and said that shortly after the Glendale
robbery he was approached by Pink
erron man and was offered bribe
to tell who committed the robbery.
He denied ell knowledge of the mat
ter, but was shadOwed and finally
openly accused of being implicated in the
affair. He concluded in order to avoid fur
ther trouble to leave the West. He went
to Mexico, thence to Chicago, where the de-
tectives again found him, and have been
following him ever since. The lieutenant
in charge of the station after hearing his
story locked the man up in order TO make
an investigation. San Francisco authorities
have been requested to forward informa.
ton. In court this morning Henselmau
was sent to the workhouse for 80 days.
Captain Lees when interviewed last night
in regard to Henselman's story said that he
bad received no notification OF his arrest
from Pittsburg, and stated that he never
heard Of the man before. He was not con-
nected with the Glendale robbery" said

WARSAW. March 25-Rumers of war fill
the air. and are given the appearance of
truth by the presence in Poland of an i'm
mense number of Russian soldiers. The
purpose. however. may be simply in prepara-
tlon to the usual spring maneuvers. but the
proximity of these troops to the Prussian
frontier causes general feeling of uneasi.
ness. Activity on the part of the Prussians
across the frontier increases the anxiety.
PrussIa's balloons have been lowering over
the Russian fortresses and are believed to
form part of an extensive German spy sys-
TEN. The balloons appear to be under per-
feet control. and indicate that a new and
dangerous element has been introduced into
modern warfare.
BERLIN. March 25.-The Breslau Gazette
publishes the text of an imperial decree
prohibiting the passage of Russian Jews
through Germany. The decree is very Wig
orous. AS it is impossible to make the de-
cree known throughout Russia, thousands
OF Jews, ignorant of the prohibition, are
certain to arrive at the frontier, where, ss
they will be halted and will not be per-
mitted to proceed farther. it Will be inn
possible to provide accommodations for
them. A few cases have already oc-
CURED where Jews endeavoring TO get into
the country, despite the warnings they had
received, have been shot down while at
tempting to pass the German frontier
guards. Committees which have been
formed for the purpose of providing relief

are ready to emigrate whenever oppOr-
tunlty offers. The committees, after care

CHICAGO, March 25-To-day's session Of

broke up in disorder without the finding of
additional indictments. The rock which
caused the split was the question of indict-
Ing Secretary Soule of the jefferson Electric

has absented himself from the city. The
discussion ended in row. It is rumored
mat member Of the jury was caught max
Ing fuil notes Of the testimony of one of the
witnesses, and accused of doing so for i'm
propet purposes.
An adjournment was taken. because
unuer the elrcumS stances no further business
was possible. Another effort will be made
to-m0rrow 20 carry on the investigation 1t
has been apparent for several days that
differences had arisen between State Attor-
ney lsongeneeker and cooperating persons
conducting the investigation. In a long
Interview the States Attorney intimated his
intention TO conduct the inquiry according
10 ms own notions, and not to force indict-
inents which in his view we're unwarranted.
Othef parties Interested in the investiga-
ton deemed It advisable TO take a course to
which he was known TO be opposed and
place the investigation in the hands of a
special Grand Jury.
Though much loud talk was INDUCED in
between members of the jury, it is stated
that no blows were struck. Adjournment
was taken because, for the time being, no
further progress is possible. A Though two
more indictments have been prepared, they
were not reported, owing to the lack of
unaninlfy among jurymen.
