secretary before making the statement.
The lines OF battle on both sides OF the
Rio Grande ara drawn more and more
closely around the pugilists who are
standing on the border OF Mexico anu
the United States, and developments
unpleasant to the sporting men may oc-
cur At any moment. He points out
that II the sports get across the line
into Mexico they will be subject to
immediate arrest. In other words II
will not be necessary for the Mexican
officials to wait until efforts are made
TO fight. but are Mt liberty TO arrest
every member OF the party. including
the would-be spectators. Just as soon
us they cross the boundary line. As
for New Mexican soil, II ~ certain that
the territorial officials arc now fully
empowered to meet any movement of
the fighters. In Texas also the way
seems to be closed against the sports
by the active steps taken by Governor
Cuiberson, who has assembled the
Tevas rangers near the scene OF rem
devious, and II IL moreover said here
that developments may be looked for
In that state which will discomlt the
pugillste. In reference to ,ne current
rumor that an attempt would be made
to pull of the fight on some of the
islands of the Rio Grande, or other
lands which cannot be accurately said
TO be either IN Mexico or Texas. II is
lntimnted that " In such case the
Mexican officials see NJ to assume tur-
isdletion over any such tract for the
prevention OF an act In violation OF
the laws OF the United States and
Mexico our government viii not be dis
posed TO make any poiut against them.

Cincinnati, o., Feb. lo.-While the
authorities are investigating whether
Pearl Bryan was murdered in this city
and her body hauled across the river
to Fort Thomas. the grand jury at
Newport, KY. is inquiring into the
mystery, and indictments are expected
for murder in Kentucky. Although the
decapitated body was found one week
ago last Saturday, the head has not
yet been found. IL is not known where
Pearl was murdered, how she was muir
dered or when she was murdered. u
has been believed that she was muir
dered Friday night, January 81. but to-
day the theory is held that she was
murdered ON Thursday night. and

SHE ALLEGES CRUELTY.
Mrs. E. L. Lloyd Brings Suit for q
Divorce.

Mrs. E. L. Lloyd Brings Suit for a
Divorce.
Mrs. Eolia Lee Lloyd has sued for "A
divorce from Francis Beckford Lloyd, of
No. 1925 Sixth street northea asst The bill
was filed yesterday afternoon by Mr..
Edward 6. Niles as her attorney She
charges drunkenness, cruelty and unfaith-
fulness.
Mr.. Lloyd belongs to wellknown Mary
land family. He is now engaged in the real
estate business, but few years ago w.s
an examiner in the Pension Office at 81
500 year.
They were married on July 3, 1884, by
Father Ryan. at the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception. in. this city and from that
time have lived at their residence on
Sixth street. They have two children,
Raymond and Leo.
Mrs. Lloyd saysct that for the past three
years life has beensalrEost insupportable BY
reason of her husbands behavior, and only
her desire to protect her children has
induced her to continue to live with him.
She has all along had a lingering hope that
she might reform him, but this she has
at last abandoned {
On July 20 last year she says he beat
her and threw her down stairs head first,
and again on September 81 he struck her
with cane, causing large swellings and
bruises. On May last he struck her ant,
knocked her down, injuring her hand so
that it has not got well yet. Two days
later he drove her out in q rain Storm
and she had to remain on the porch of
their residence all night. He has, she as
serts, been guilty of infideiity to her on
many OCCASIONS

MUST LET POLITICS ALONE
Warning Circular Sent Out to Postal
Clerks.
No Active Campaigning VIII He Toler
ated, But They Will Be
Allowed to Vote.

The Postoffice Department has issued a
clerks informing them OF the Department s
wishes concerning the attitude of these
clerks in the coming political campaign.
The circular states that the Department
doc not attempt or desire to control the
political opinions of any one connected
with the postal service, but it insists
that employees of the railway mail service
shall not take an active interest In politics
In the way of attending conventions as
delegates, making political speeches, OF
assisting in the management of political
campaigns.
These employees should recognize the
fact that their tenure of office depends
upon themselves; if they conform to these
requirements, and are efficient, honest,
courteous to the public, and abstain from
unseemiy and indecent language in dis
cussing candidates or parties, they may.
reasonably expect to remain In the service.
All this will not interfere with their vot-
ing according to the dictates OF their own
conscience, or Of expressing their opinions
In an intelligent and courteous way.
More than this, however, is detrimental
to the best interests of the service and is
in violation OF the postal laws and regu-
dent issued July IA, 1886, which is still
in force, and was made part OF the
postal laws and regulations subsequently
and repromulgated by the Postmaster
General May %, 1894
