POLICEMEN MADE TO ORDER.

CHICAGO. March 3l-A novel system OF
wholesale fraud, with the Chicago police
de partment as the sufferer. was suddenly
unearthed today. 1t seems certain that
there is in existence school for the edu-
alton CT applicants for positions on the
police force. The M aster Is not content
with fitting his pupils so that they can go
TO the police headquarters and there I'LL
ont the question blanks; he gives them "A
completed set OF examination papers, and
the applicant, after handing these in, alb
stracts the set given him by the police ex
amiuer, to be filed out for the use of the
next applicant. The police have not sue
ceeded in locating this school, bus are con-
hdent that one exists. y. G. Anderson. a
street car conductor, and another man,
who is now being held to be put IN the
sweat-box, were caught in crooked work
with examination papers this morning.
Anderson, after working some time on the
blank sheets of paper without filing in
one OF the blanks after the questions on
the official list. was seen TO have COM
plet rd set OF answers.
Secretary Johnson, who is conducting
the examination, pouDced down up on An
uersou, who finally admitted that he had
the papers IN his pocket when he came
into the office. He WAS summarily eject
ed from the Office. He said before going
out thai he haa secured the papers from u
street car conductor on the Lincoln avenue
line, bui would not give the conductors 5
name. The other fellow was caught in a
similar manner. He said that the papers
had been flied out fer him by a man named
Casey. whose address he claims not 10
know. His evident fright leads the police
to think lie viii tell all he knows, aud the
schools" may be located. The new ap-
propriation Till provides for n bout SO new
men On the force. These will be given a
general examination on a brand new set OF
QUESTIONS.

THE CHOOTAWS.
The Trouble at Antlers as Far From Set
tiement as Ever.

ANTLERs, J. T., March 31.-Tbe situation
here is a problem. There may be patched
up peace, or the war may go on. II it Is
peace it will be forced and unsatisfactory.
Both parties want to wipe out their differ
ences in blood, and active preparations for
war have been going on all day. Both
factions have been sending messengers
throughout the country for men. and their
triends have freely responded. Arms and
munitions of war and all camp supplies
have been obtained in large quantities.
Locke is acting strictly on the defensive,
and the militia seem chary of making an
attack They are not so confident as they
were before Tuesdays battle.
1t was said that Governor Jones would
arrive at the militia camp today at Good
land and that some decisive action would
be taken. He failed to reach Paris, and
no one knows his whereabouts. There
were Us militia at Goodland at noon, out
about eighty of them, under command OF
Captain Key Durant, left, saying that
they were going about ten miles north
west of Goodland. Locke, who was at his
fort east of the kiamlta river. was kept
advised of every movement OF the militia.
His position is an exceptionally strong one.
AT O'Clock p. m. lie had seventy-four men
in the tort, with 225 rounds OF ammunition
each, besides several days supplies OF
food III short time ten more Men reached
him. and he WAS looking for big force to-
night. His men were eager to fight, and
wanted to go out and hunt the militia.
However, it looks as If the strong hand
of the government would be laid upon
them and they would be compelled to de-
sist. In response TO a telegram sent last
night Commissioner Gibbons received the
following this morning:
GAINESVILLE, Tex, March 81.

This afternoon Mr.. Gibbons receiyed the
following, which came in response TO oft
sspeated kilograms: ,u

Ex-PRIEST SLATTERY.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March 3l.-Great ex-
element has been caused here the past
week by series of lecture denunciatory
of the Roman Catholic church, delivered
by ex.Priest Slattery (so-cslled) and his
wife, who claims to be an escaped nun.
The city hall was at first engaged, but
when the indignation OF the Catholic
presidents could no longer be subdued
they, as taxpayers, objected to the renting
of the hall for such purposes, and Slatterv
was shut out All the meetings had been
largely attended, and Slattery's manner of
telling his alleged experiences made the
Catholics wild. They went to Father
Birding, pastor of the St. Josepb's church
TO get permission to drive the ex-priest out
of town.
Don't you go near him." said Father
Birding; keep away from the busbey end
of a skunk"-and they kept away.
Slattery is now holding forth at the First
Baptist church, and Is organizing au
American Protective association. Last
night he denounced Mayor Burnett Demo
craft, who ordered him shut cut, as the
authorities feared the city hall might be
blown up by some hothead If Slattery
were permitted TO remain. The lecturer
urged that his audience use the ballot
this spring to elect II mayor who would
permit free speech in the city hall Se-
rious trouble is feared.

BISHOP DIIBs DEFEATED.

OTTAWA, Ills, March 3l.-The supreme
court today, in lengthy opinion, abso
lutely settled the Evangelical church war
by ousting the Dubs faction bodily. and
holding that the indianapolis general con-
ference was the only lawful body, and that
its adjudications and findings regarding
the division in the church were hEal and
binding.
The opinion has been looked forward to
with great interest, not only In the state
of Illinois, but in Ohio, sPennsylvauia,
Oregon and Iowa, where splits have taken
place in the church. The case at hand and
the one upon which the supreme court
passed is that Of Husser against Schweiker,
from Chicago, and the supreme court 5
opinion is practically in accordance with
those Of Judge Shepard and the appellate
courts.
The trouble grew out of charge OF i'm
morality being preferred against Bishop
Dubs, who forwith seeded from the
church proper. and established what he
claimed was the real church. hlie
posing as the head and founder or this
new body, he named Husser to preside
over the worshipers at ST. Johns evangeii-
cal church in Chicago. 1t Is estimated
that about LOCO of the church members 10
all sections of the country protessed adj
herence TO the Dub's doctrines. Mean
while Bishop Esher appointed the Rev.
Mr.. Schweiker to the Chicago church in
question. The two clergymen both pro-
ceeded to assume the pastorate and a law
suit resulted, on the result of which hinged
the fate Of Bishop Dubs. 1t is said that
there are more than 100 similar Cases
pending throughout the United Stat es
which the decision will directly effect. In
Chicago there are twelve evangelical
churches.

the young woman, modestly. "It is

They had learned TO lie, steal and fight,

after awhile l asked them 10 save up

eagerness about it and pride when I

showed me they were being helped.
There was just one boy who seemed
10 me hopeless. He was apparently in
different TO everything; sat for weeks,
during the morning talks, with stolid
expression, and never contributed any,

raised his hand as soon rs 1t was timo

THE FIGHT AGAINST M'ALeSTER.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The sub-com-
mittee of the senate committee on judic-
ary was engaged for time this morning
in looking into the charges that have been
made by w. F. Weeks, chairman of the
Indian territory Democratic committee,
against J. j. McAlester, nominated to be
United States marshal for that territory
1t is claimed that Mr.. McAlester, by rea-
son of his having married Chickasaw
| woman, is no longer a citizen of the
United States, but of the territory, and is
therefore ineligible to the appointment;
that he has opposed The Democratic
organization In the territory: that he
aided and abetted the Indians in their re-
cent uprising, supplied them with arms,
and promised them money; and that he is
a man of great wealth and power among
the Indians, and by reason of his infIu-
ence (alleged to be improperly used) can
not be a proper man to be peace officer.
These charges are met by commensurate
ments on the part of Mr.. McAlester and
his friends, who appeared before the COM
mittee, who say that they were only filed
because it was a last resort to effect, if
possible, his defeat, and that the men
making them had been candidates for the
place to which he was appointed. No
sworn statements were submitted to the
committee.
Senator Lindsay, chairman of the COM
mittee. postponed the matteruntil Mon
day, when he will refer it to the full COM
mttee for decision as 10 whether the sub
ject should be inquired into In the mean
time Mr.. Weeks has taken his papers, and
seeks an audience with the president for
the purpose of bringing his charges before
him, and urging the withdrawal Of the
nomination.
