THE RULES OF THE DIAMOND
The National Baseball League Makes
Rule Changes
Players Leaving q Position in the Field Will
Be Fined-Umpires Are to Be
Protected

New York Feb. 25.-The rules commit
tee of the National Baseball league met in
this city today. The committee made nu-
merous changes which will be voted upon
by the league at its meeting on Wednes-
day. 1t recommends, among other
changes, that the pitchers plate be en-
larged; placed restrictions upon noisy
coaching; gave to the umpire greater
power of disciplining kickers, and changed
the wording of many rules, some of
which were heretofore vague and ambigu-
Gus.
Among the changes recommended are {:
Rule 56-The committee recommends
that the constitution be amended to pen
alze this rule as follows: ANY player
other than the captain leaving his posi-
ton in the field or leaving the bench to
question the decision of the umpire shall
be fined $40 for the first offense and for
the second offense shall be removed from
the game and shall be required
to leave the game forthwith.
Another important change is one which
constitutes a foul ball. Hereafter any ball
that goes on the fouled ground between
the lines of bases is to be considered foul
whether it is batted directly to the ground
or into the air.
The foul tip was sat upon as follows:
A ball tipped by the batsman and
caught by the catcher within the ten-foot
line is a strike.

Lively Battle Between Officers

THE ARREST OF A SUSPECT
Several Persons Shot and Much Powder
Burned
Spirited Fight in the Town Of Council Bluffs,
The Pockets of the Prisoners
Disclose PIunder

Omaha, Neb Feb. 25.-A Council
! Bluffs Iowa, special to the Bee, saws: A
! spirited fight between bank robbers and
the local authorities occurred late this
afternoon, in which several persons were
shot and much powder burned. officers
had been notified to watch for the men
who this morning robbed the Griswold,
Iowa, bank. Just at dusk, as one of the
| officers was patroling his beat, he noticed
man sitting in the Office of the Kiel
Hotel who answered the description tele-
graphed from Griswold
Deputy Sheriff O'Bren was notified and
he concluded that he was one of the men
wanted and called to his assistance Dep
uty Sheriff Hooker and in company with
Officers Peterson and Ware the party en-
tered the Office and invited the suspected
man to jail. AS the five men left the hotel
two other hotel guests arose and followed,
keeping several yards behind Just as
they reached the steps of the Court House
O'Brien dropped behind, telling his
prisoner to walk in front. AS he did this
the two men who had been following the
party commenced firing at the officers
Pulling their guns, the officers returned
the fire, the prisoner and the two strang-
ers separating from the officers and shoot
ing as they ran. For some minutes the
fusillade was kept up, citizens and other
officers joining in the battle, which had
become general all along the line, until
the desperadoes were overcome and two
of them placed under arrest and taken to
jail where they gave their names as John
Riley and James Wilson.
AG boI,,,
the bars the officers started to look for the
wounded, and in the search they dscov-
cred O'Brien, severely wounded, a ball
having struck him in the abdomen, enter
ing the body and lodging near the spine.
Riley was hit in the groin, the ball pen
etrating two inches. The third man
escaped and fed toward the river, pursued
by posse of citizens, but he managed to
elude them. 1t is thought that he 10 now
in Omaha and the police of that city have
been notified to be on the lookout for the
man.
In searching the men at the Jail their
pockets yielded large number of postage
stamps and quantity of small change
which fact convinces the officers that the
two prisoners now under arrest are men,
bers of the gang that robbed the Griswold
bank. While the shooting was going on
Motorman Scullen met with a peculiar
accident. His train was in the vicinity
of the battle, and as he was about
to seek the seclusion of the in
side of his car bullet struck a brick
building near by and glancing, flew back
and struck him between the eyes, cutting
the flesh to the bone.
AT the jail the men who were under ar
rest refused to talk on the subject of the
robbery. They say that they are farm
hands. In regard to the shooting, they
state that they were scared and did not
know that the men with whom they were
fighting were officers, and that they shot
as they supposed to defend their lives.

THE KING OF THE FIREBUGS
Trial of Max Grauer, the Insurance
Adjuster
witnesses Tell OF How Fires Were
Started in Many Places That
Jeopardized Lives

New York, Feb 25.-The trial OF Max
M. Grauer, the fire insurance adiuster,
alleged to be the leader of a band of fire
bugs, was continued today in the Court of
General Sessions.
Simon Rosenbaum was again placed on
the stand. He denied that he started
fire in Lynn and then admitted that
he was out when the fire referred to was
started and had his hands burned at the
time. He claimed that the gang of fire
bugs tried to burn him. He knew that a
man named Max G. Luckman started
fire in Walker street. He got $50 for his
work. Witness then told of a series of
fires that he had started or helped to
start. Some of the houses were tenemnts,
full of women and children. He recount
ed five fires, whose origin could be laid at
his door. Some of the fires he had set for
others and was paid for the work: Others
he had set because he lived in the house
and had his effects heavily insured Law
yer Friend, counsel for the defense,
worked hard to shake the damaging evi-
dence, but did not do so in important
particulars. The witness related how he
had signed a contract with the elder
Grauer in the presence of witnesses. en-
gaging him to obtain man to burn his
store in building where lived six fam-
lies The case will be continued tomor-

FIXING THE BLAME ON ADRY
Harry Charges Miss Ging's
Murder to Him
THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME
An Interesting Story Developed by
the Testimony
THE NIGHT OF THE GRIM
The Accused Was Very Earnest in His
Accusations and Told of the Past
Grimes OF His Younger Brother

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 25.-It was
| somewhat of a surprise to Mr.. Nye when
Mr.. Erwin turned the prisoner over a
short time before the court adjourned this
| evening. He had expected that the ex-
animation would take at least today, and
was hardly prepared to go into the exam
/ ination. He therefore contented himself
With going over in minor matters that he
might begin i'll earnest tomorrow morning
The day was extremely interesting one
being filled with the troubles between
the witness and his brother Adrv who. he
SAID, had proposed all the bloody details
OF the murder. Harry explained that
he had been so shocked at his broth
er's depravity that he had resolved to
sound many other people to see if
they had such wonderful conscien-
ces. Thus it was that he has questioned
Waterman, the hackman, and even l.. NJ.
Stewart, and he dared the state to put
Stewart on the stand. Instead of having
threatened to kill his brother with a knite,
Adry, he said, had threatened to rip his
entrails out; had threatened to kill his
father and had often stated that he was so
devoid of conscience that he could kill his
father easily and not be troubled about it
afterwards.
The narrative was resumed by Har-
ry Hayward this morning at the
point where he returned to Ozark
after the theater and heard of
Miss Ging's death. 81 thought of all
our relations" he said, ''and how I lent
her money. l remembered she often asked
me to lend her my revolver, and as |
thought the matter over | became con-
WINGED she had been murdered. | don't
know what | said to people there or at the
police station. | was very much excited. -"
He and Adry were arrested and put in q
cell together Adry seemed much down in
the mouth and Harry said to him: "We
are not guilty; what's the use of feeling
this way But Adry was dispirited and
hnally Harry said: "Adry, what is this?
You held her up once; did you have anv.
thing to do with this?" Adry was silent
and refused to talk any more. After that
there was no further conversation between
them. This evidence caused a Autter of
excitement, as it brought in the story
which on Thursday had been ruled out bv
the Court, to the effect that Adrv was the
hlghwayman who last April robbed Harry,
Miss Cling and Miss Vedder while riding.
Adry, 1T is understood, attempted to dis
prove the story with an alibi.
Not much more of interest developed
during the remainder of the examina-
tion, and Mr.. Erwin turned the witness
over to the state late in the afternoon.
Mr.. Nye, in cross-exami nation, made
Harry go over his relations with Miss
Cling and had Harry repeat his wander
ings the night of her murder.
The states attorney kept asking all
sorts OF questions, evidently with view
OF laying the foundation for impeachment
of the direct testimony. 1t is understood
that several points were made.

Congress Trying to Make Up
for Wasted Time
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS
A Full Session Passed in Discussing
Them in the Senate
Long Sessions Are Evidently Not
Popular With Members

Washington, Feb. 25.--The Senate is
now working day and night on the appro-
priation bills in order to complete them
before the session closes. The sundry
civil ap appropriation bill was considered
with little interruption or delay from IL a.
m. to $3.50 p. M, and again at night ses-
sion. The item of $3.50 900 for purchasing
the historic property of the late James G.
Blaine in order to prevent its use for
other purposes, occasioned a sharp debate
but was finally agreed to.
Other Senate amendments agreed to
during the day include the temporary
Federal building at Chicago, $500, 900; be-
gining the new Government building at
Chicago, $400, 0O0.
The general deficiency bill, the last of
the regular appropriation bills, pass d
the House. Almost the entire day was
spent in discussing the amendment to
pay Great Britain S425, 900, the amount of
damages agreed upon by Secretary Gres-
ham and Sir Julian Pauncefote, to be due
that country under the award OF the Paris
arbitration tribunal on account of the
seizure of some twenty sealers by the
United States previous to the modus vi
vendi of 1892. The same amendment
was strongly attacked by Messrs. Cannon
OF Illinois, Henderson of Iowa and Hit
OF Illinois on the ground that the amount
was unreasonably large; that some
vessels were owned by citizens of the
United States ana $375 600 was or construc-
tive or speculative damages (the estimat-
ed catch.) Only $751;, 900, they contended
was due Great Britain. Messrs. Brecken-
ridge and McCreary of Kentucky and
Hooker of Mississippi and Dngey OF
Maine supported the amendment, main
timing that the Government, no matter
how bad the bargain, must carry out the
awards of the Paris tribunal in good faith.
Mr.. Dingley declared that 1t was prefer
able to paying this Si25,0OO than leave
the assessment of damages to an umpire
appointed by a foreign power. The
amendment carried in committee, but
was defeated in the House, 112 to 143
Some excitement as caused by the at
tempt to strike out in the House the APP
preparation for an extra months salary
for the employees of the House and Senate
and the clerks of members, but it failed
and the amendment prevailed, 143 to los.
Motions to reconsider and recommit were
voted down as promptly as offered until
the opposition dwindled to point where
it could not get the ayes and nays. 1t
then surrendered and the bill was passed.

ORDER FROM HUNTINGTON
Work on the Mexican International
Line Stopped
The Order Came From the Southern Pacific
Magnate Because He Can Not
Get II All

Monclovia, Mexico, Feb. 25.-The work
of constructing branch lines of the Mexican
international railroad, from this place to
Sierra Mojada, and from Reata to Monte
rey, has been suspended, and it is an
nounced that the order has come from
President G. P. Huntington not to CON
struct the branches at the present time.
1t is said President Huntington and his
associates have been trying to get control
of or to purchase or lease the Monterey
and Mexican and Gulf railroad, which is
one of the most profitable railroad proper
ties in Mexico, and it is limited that the
building of the expensive proposed Joint
lines of the Mexican International was an
attempt to bluff the owners of the Monte
rey and Mexican Gulf into making a deal.
The proposed branches would be compc-
ting lines against the Gulf Coast.

the amendment increasing the appropria-
ton for surveying the public lands within

Mr.. Cocllrell offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, appropriating $780,
600 for completing the statue OF General
William 7. Sherman.
The committee amendments of the bill
were approved until the concluding feat
ures were reached; first, concerning gov
ernment printing office, and second, con
cerning the important financial plan for
an issue of S100, 600 900 Of certificates of
Indebtedness.

Columbus, o., Feb. 25.-Last year the

state has therefore brought suit. Their
ganiZed under the law as partnership and
