DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
Developments of Yesterday in the Fued
Between Father IwanOwski and
Editor DangeI Langowski.

The differences existing between
Rev. Bronslaw Iwanowski, the Polish
clergyman, and Dangel Langowski, the
editor of a Polish weekly paDer, APP
pear to be further than ever from be
ing settled Yesterday Iwanowski was
arrested by Constable Richard Barron,
of Priceburg. charged with having
broken into the house of william
Kregger. in Dickson City, and in
searching for Langowski. whom he
believed was hiding in the house, de-
molshed a bed and injured Kregger's
daughter, Martha
1t is alleged that this occurred on
Friday night and that Father IVAN
owsld carried a shotgun with him to
intimidate Langowski. H was accom-
panied by Constable Jack Murray. who
was to have captured the editor in the
event of their finding him. II appears
that during the latter part of last week
the priest had Langowski arrested and
Alderman Millar, before whom the
hearing was held, set bail at 81 900,
which was furnished by Langowski,
but afterwards found to be worthless
1t was to recapture the editor that
the priest and the constable visited
Kreggers house. Yesterday morning
Constable Murray found Langowsii
| and took him to the county Jail, where
the authorities refused to accept him.
as LangoWski had a certificate from
Alderman Millar, showing that on the
previous day, solid bail had been fur
nished, and that he therefore had q
right to his liberty. 1t is said that
Constable Murray was drunk and Ian.
| gOWSki SWOre out a warrant yesterday
afternoon for the arrest of Father
| IWanoWski and the constable on the
charge of conspiring to falsely i'm.
prison. The warrants will be served
today.
When Rev. Iwanowsk was arrested
yesterday on the charge preferred by
William Pregger, that of breaking into
his house, displaying fire arms and de-
molishing his furniture, the father fur
! nished hail before Justice of the Peace
| Slivinski, of Dickson City.
Another charge was lodged against
| IWanoWski later in the day, il
| Alderman Howe's court, by Mary
| LangoWski, who charged that on Sun
day, Feb. I, Father Iwanowski public
| ly stated from the pulpit of his church
| that she was a dissolute character
that she was living unlawfully will
a man. She also claims that he made
illusions, which, as they read in the
complaint, are not presentable in g
| newspaper.
A warrant was served on Fathe
| lWanOwski and he promised the con
stable to appear in Alderman Howe
court in the afternoon, which he faile(
| to do.

SOME WARDS ARE MODEST.
No Use for Strong Drink in the Three
Big South Side Wards.

There is a falling off in the number
of license application this year as COM
pared with 1896. The number last year
was $50. A o'clock last evening when
the time for filing applications closed
for this year, Clerk of the Courts
Thomas had received 623 applications,
decrease of tWenty-three.
AS in former years the Twelfth ward
has again decided that it can get
along without strong drink, not a single
application having been received from
that division of the city. The good
example set by the Twelfth ward is
emulated to a degree by the neighbor-
ing people for only three applications
are recorded from the whole South
Side, excluding the Eleventh ward.
The Nineteenth ward concluded it could
get along with one saloon and the
Twentieth asks only two.
The Eleventh ward sent in ten ap-
plicatiOns. The Third ward is another
modest precinct, two licenses being
all that are prayed for. No license was
asked for the Wyoming House. The
entire list of application will be pub
lished in an early issue of The Tribune.

BOTH ARE IN THE COUNTY JAIL.
Neighbors from the Flats Make Coun-
ter Charges.

Patrick Murray and John Love, the
latter colored, are both languishing in
the county jail, primarily because they
were over Jealous in causing each 9TH
er's arrest and ultimately could not
furnish bail in the sum of $500 each.
They are neighbors, residing ON the
"Flats," and they had much conten-
tion over the dumping place for gar
bage from their homes.
Murray caused to be sworn out a
warrant for the arrest of Love and
when given a hearing before Alderman
Millar, the defendant preferred a coun-
ter charge against his complainant
with the results as above stated.

Marquis Ito Says Japan Would Not

VICTORIA, B. c., May 19-Marauis Ito
who arrived from Japan on the steamer
Empress of India, spent all yesterday at
the quarantine station. He is accom-

Tokiokia of the imperial household, and
goes to London as adviser to Prince Ari-
sugawa, special Japanese envoy to the
Queens jubilee.
Speaking of the reports that Japan
seeks to annex Hawaii, Ito denies this
emphatically. He said: IF the Hawai-
ian Government should offer US the ISL
ans we would refuse them. They are too
far away to be of any use to u.s. Besides
with the United States, and the Wash
ington Government would be certain to
regard our taking possession of the ISL
ans as an unfriendly act.
I'VE have, however, certain treaty
rights and we propose to see that they
are respected he continued. 1.-The peo-
pie of America do not understand the
Japanese people. They class us with 9TH
