Broke Jail But no reward has been
offered for the culprit's fe-capture.
One '"Tommien Allenson, who was said
to be drunk, went to G. N. Villas house
and became so indecently obnoxious
that he was ordered away, but he re-
fused to go and scuf1le ensued between
him and the girls who work for Mr.
Villas, in which one Of them had her
dress badly torn. Complaint was made
against him and the policeman took
him to the lookup. 1t is probable that
the slit work of which the door is
partly made had shrunk SO the nuts on
the bolts were loose. At any rate he
unscrewed the nuts with his fingers
and got out during the plight. Proba-
bly, the door will be repaired.

A PETITION TO SATOLLI.
Friends of the Murdered Cronin Ask an
Investigation,

Friends of the Murdered Cronin Ask an
Investigation.
CHICAGO, March 6. The Croninites
are making strong attempt to drag
Monsignore Satolli, and through him
the Catholic Church, into the great
quarrel which disrupted the Gamma
Gael throughout the nation and the
Irish people of this city. The followers
of the murdered doctor are arguing that
the difficulties which hang around the
death of Cronin and the circumstances
that preceded that tragic event have
reached too large proportions in Chicago
for the Church to keep clear of the con-
troversy any longer. They charge a
number of priests in this city with
prostituting their sacred office to help
the murders of Cronin to escape justice,
and even to reap rewards for their crime.
The Croninites have prepared and sent
to Monsignore Satolli petition urging
the papaI ablegate to visit Chicago and
investigate in person these charg 8,
which are far too serious to be probed
only by hearsay evidence. Thousands
of copies of this petition have been
printed in the form of circular and
distributed among Catholics, who are
believed to side with the Croninites or
to be in favor of just and fair settle
ment OF the whole trouble by the Church
itself

HAWAlfS Ex-QUEEN.
1t Is Question Whether She will Be
PardOned or Punished.

Pardoned or Punished.
SAN Francisco, March Especial
correspondence from Hawaii says that
the president is reported to be wavering
between granting the ex-queen her full
pardon or letting the sentence stand. 1t
is common talk that Mrs. Dole is inter-
ceding for the ex-queen. Indeed, the
feeling against the ex-royal lady has de-
creased SO that it is the general hope in
the city that she will be pardoned, not
because she is not guilty, but on account
OF her age. i'll health, previous misfor-
fortunes, and further because she is the
only woman mixed up in the affair.
Charles B. Wilson, the authorized agent
OF the ex-queen, says he knows of his
own knowledge that not only Honolulu
ladies, but men also are making a strong
fight for the ex-queen's pardon. Per-
sonally he has no doubt that the pardon
will be granted. He also says and au-
thorizes the statement that he has adj
vised her not to ask for pardon under
any circumstances, but to rely on her
letter of abdication solely. The ex-
queen has it in her power to do some
good among the natives. bus it is feared
that her natural disposition will prevent
her from fully accepting the situation.
She may, however, do so, and if she
does she will not suffer any hardship at
the hands Of the government. Her con-
finement will be at present in the ex-
ecutive building, which was her former
palace. She will occupy one of the large
and airy rooms formerly used by her
and overlooking the fine park surround
ing the building.

A NEW FOE TO FIGHT.
Check Raising Swindlers Said to Have
New Eraser.

Check-Raising Swindlers Said to Have
New Eraser.
OMAHA, March 6.-Startling develop
ments were made in the Union Pacific
check-raising swindle today, which are
calculated to alarm all corporations pay
ing in checks. The discovery was made
that the gang who operated on the I'm
ion Pacific have mode of erasing ink
with an acid, which defes the best de-
tectives, and which is guaranteed not to
show the slightest presence of acid or
other foreign substances. The amount
secured by the work of the gang is not
known, but it is not as large as at first
supposed. The amount is not regarded
as of much importance, however, as
compared with the new process which is
pulling the company's chemists and
detectives. The paper on which the
checks are printed has been regarded
until now as being absolutely proof
against manipulation, but the opera
tons of the expert swindlers shatter the
claims OF the inventors of the paper that
their invention is acid-proof. The
checks raised failed to show single
erasure mark, and the amount of the
check in figures in the corner, as we'll as
the written amount in the body of the
check, was wiped ont as completely as if
cloth had been used in removing dust
from table top. What is to he done is
the question which is perplexing the
minds of the officials at the Union IA
cifc Headquarters to-day.

Will ReyoIutioniZe Iron Nj ak1ng.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March 6.-The in
vention by George Harley, foundry
man of process for making malleable
iron of excellent quality direct from
moulds, has been proved success at
tests made here. Harley claims that
his invention will revolutionize iron
making, and this prediction is borne out
by the opinion of experts. The discov-
cry is said to sprpass in Importance
that made by Dessemer. A company
has been Incorporated with 81, 600, O0O
capital. By Harley's process iron lie
made from an endless furnace with a
peculiar method of controlling the adj
mission of air by which thoroughly
molten condition of iron is obtained: 1t
is said that the Bethlehem, Pa, iron
men have expressed willingness to pay
$40, QUO, 900 for the invention on proof
that it is what it is claimed to be.

cal. Two of them are British subjects.
The encouragement of the province of
Alepo declares that he suspects them Of
insurgent designs, and has ordered Their
letters opened and sent to Alepo, whel 9
they will be examined before delivery.
Boxes of food and clothing addressed to
them must now be examined by the po-
lice OF Amarash, despite their already
being inspected at Alexandria upon en-
tering the country. The chief OF police
in Amarash consequently has seized
several of such boxes. He also impris-
oned the muleteers conveying them. He
publicly declared that the missionaries
were importing arms and had a large
quantity stored, ready for use against
the Mohammedans. The bigotry of the
ignorant people, already aroused against
the Armenians, is now directed against
the missionaries. Disaster is possible
any moment unless the agitation be

THE WHISKY TRUST.
Plan of Reorganization to Be Made Pub
lie This Week.


CHICAGO, March 6-The conference
of the attorneys of the whisky trust
ended to-day and Messrs. Blur and
Cadwalader left this afternoon for New
York. The matters requiring the atten-
ton of the lawyers have been satisfac-
torily settled. The draft of plan OF re-
organization, which the New York coun-
sci brought with them, was accepted,
with few amendments suggested by
the Chicago attorney, Levi Mayer. The
plan of reorganization will be submitted
to the entire committee next Wednes-
day in New York for its approval. The
local members of the conference refuse
to give airy intimation as to the plan of
reorganization, but say that it will be
made public Thursday or Friday of this
week. MIR. Harrison, one of the &C
countants. who has been making an ex-
animation of the trusts books, is still at
work here, and Mr.. O'Brien, the other
expert, has returned to Peoria. Attor-
ney Mayer, when asked what had been
the result of the experts examination,
said:
81 cannot discuss the disclosures made
by the examination of the company's
books, as to give details would be quite
improper at this time. l have no objec-
ton to saying that there is at hand the
most substantial evidence which places
the old managers in an unenviable posi-
ton. The profigate recklessness, not
to cay dishonesty, with which certain
deals were made are astounding. Con-
tracts, in which some of the officers
were financially interested and which
needlessly cost the company vast
sum OF money, were made with the ia
cility with which a child blows bubbles
from pipe. The old management has
been mosaic of rottenness, whose ex-
posure both justice and the rights OF the
defrauded stockholders demand"

Fitzsimmons and His Manager.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 6.-Martln
Lehmayer, acting as counsel for Charles
Glori, to-day secured an injunction
against Bob Fitzsimmons and the ap-
pointment of receiver for the Fltzslm-
mons show. The company is booked
at Kernan's theatre this week. George
w. Bile, treasurer of the theatre, was
made IT ceiver with instructions to con-
tinue the performances, but not to pay
Glori or Fitzsimmons any salary. The
bi of complaint alleges that the show
belongs jointly to Glori and Fitzsim-
mons and that the latter has ousted the
plaintiff from the copartnership: This
evening Fitzsimmons stated that he
would disband his company next Satur-
day night, and in that way get rid OF
Captain Glori. Fitzsimmons was asked
if Glori's withdrawal would affect his
match with Corbett. He said:
"Not in any way. 1t is my money
that is up with the exception OF 500.
On account of all my troubles l have
been compelled to ask Corbett to grant
me little more time, and he has done
so. NV money will be forthcoming, and
Glori will have nothing to do with It,"

of Chinese soil by Japan. Corea must
be evacuated and further encroachments
prevented. If Japan has anything of
that nature in view, it is time for her to
pause and consider, as in such a case
the neutrality of Russia cannot be
counted upon despite her love of peace"

tempt of the authorities of Payne to
levy tax on the Indians who occupy
allotments within the county has

he also gave the assessors information.
The other Indians have sworn to kill
him by the forms of torture usually APP
piled to traitors among the Indians, and
Amble is now under the protection of
