GREEK BARBER IN TROUBLE Jim Douglas Taken to Evans
 vile Last Night. SAILING UNDER AN ALIAS His Right Name Was Leo MoneIongo and He Was Wanted for Stealing Diamond
 Stud and Gold Watch.

Chief of Police Frank Pritchett of Evans vile, Ind, left this morning over the Louisville and Nashville railroad at 12:35 o'clock, having in charge Leo Mavelonzo, alias Jim Douglas, wanted in that city on a charge of larceny.
 Chief Pritchett arrived in the city early yesterday morning, having a warrant for the arrest of Mavelonzo, who formerly lived in Evansville, and was supposed to have come to this city. He also had a picture of the wanted man. and with the assistance of local officers the fugitive was soon located in the person of Mavelonzo; who conducted a barber shop, corner First avenue and Nineteenth street, in the opera house building, under the name of Jim Douglas.
 The man, who is a Greek, arrived in this city only a few weeks since and recently opened the barber shop, fitting 1t up in elegant style. He gave his name as Jim Douglass, and to all appearances was a man of some means. His address vas pleasant and he made many friends, es- pecially among his fellow countrymen, who gave him all the assistance in their power in promoting his enterprise.
 According to the Evansville end of the story, Mavelenzo was engaged in the mer- cantile business in that city, and during the Christmas holidays bought a large stock of goods credit, wfich he dis posed of and pocketed the ca sh. Before leaving, however he is said to have step ped into a jewellers establishment and se- lected a handsome diamond pin and gold watch, which he asked the privi eGe of taking to another jeweer for in: pection before closing the trade. He was allowed to take the articles under these conditions and failed to return. A warrant was sworn out charging him with larceny. and was placed in the hands of the police depart ment with the above result
 Mavelonzo was placed in the city prison until the time for the departure of the train, when he was taken to the depot in charge of Chief Mcdonald and Chief Pritchett.
 While at the depot he was visited by several of his friends. who say that he will be able to establish his innocence

CHINA IN HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Bartlett Says Englands Policy Is to Prevent
 Disruption.

London, March 1.-In the house of com mons today Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett conservative, having brought up the Chinese question and the advance of Rus sia, MT. Curzon, parliamentary secretary of the foreign office, said British inflEerces in China were paramount but not ex- elusive.
 The British nation would not be justified in regarding legitimate competitors with jealousy. but ought rather to 'use all efforts to keep in competition what 1t had won in an age of competition" He could therefore see that China would be con- fronted by greater dangers in the future than she had been in tire past.
 Great Britain's policy was to prevent the disruption and to oppose the alienation of Chinese territory, and it was not likely that Great Britain would regard with satis- ton attempts of others in the direction of such disruption and alienation. MT. Cur zon recapitulated the valuable concessions (already cabled to the United States) which China had voluntarily offered. So far as Russia was concerned, her assur- ance was that the port she had secured as an outlet would be an open port, Ike treaty port. Great Britain, he sdeeiared had taken her stand upon the treaty oi Tien Tsin, and no British goverIInent would ever consent to an abandonment or curtailment of treaty rights. ~e.
 The matter was then dropped sand tho house adjourned. -

KILLING OF POSTMASTtRS
Was Discussed in the Cabinet Meeting Yes
 terday

Washington, March 1.-The attention of the cabinet was engaged to some extent at today's meeting with the recent murder of the colored postmaster and his infant child at Lake City, S. C., by a mob of a hundred or so of white men. It was remarked by a member of the cabinet after the close of the meeting that this most heinous crime had been passed by almost unnoticed by the public in the excitement caused by the wreck of the Maine. An outrage upon a republican postmaster, which was consid- cred, occurred at Ada, Ga. MT. Freema1i' the postmaster at the latter place, was as- sassinated before he entered on the dis charge of his duties as postmaster.
 The president, it is said, is very much dis turbed by these acts, though he views with satisfaction the fact that the whole southern press has expressed it's indigna- tion. The first impulse of the officials in cases like these cited, 1t is said, is to abol- ish the office where the outrage occurred. although it is realized that such a step would deprive large numbers of citizens. who had nothing to do with the killing, of their postal facilities.
 The president therefore finds it difficult to lay down any rigid rule that could be supplied in all cases. The office at Lake City has been abolished, but so far nothing has been done regarding the case at Ada. The latter presents some unusual features. Freeman had been appointed postmaster. but not having assumed his duties, was not an officer of the government. Unofficial reports which have reached the department are not clear as to the precise cause for his assassination. One is that he was killed because he had been appointed, and another is that his death was the result of a quar- rel. The department, however. will make an inquiry into the facts and be guided in it's future course by what this inquiry de- yelopS.

WORK ON SAN JUAN RIVER.
Commission Has Completee Its Work on Lake
 Nicaragua. is -.s-


 San Carlos, Nicaragua, March 1.-The Photographic party under the Nicaraguan commission has almost completed their work on Lake Nicaragua, and have all ready begun work on the San Juan river. The Nicaraguan government steamer, which has been promised for use in the general survey of the lake, has not yet arrived, and Lieutenant Hanus is afraid he will not be able at this time to finish this important part of his work. The req son of the delay is the impending uprising against the present government. On the part of the latter this is evidently great uneasiness, if not alarm. Troops are be- ing moved here and there and people are being pressed into the military service in large numbers.
 F. L. Stewart, who has charge of the tranait company working in conjunction with Lieutenant Hanus' party, has fin- ished measuring the base line for the lake work and has made considerable progress in his work down the river. He will shift his camp this week to a point about six miles below San Carlos.

THE INDIANA LYhCHING.
Judge Expressed His Regrets That He Could
 Not Condemn Hughes.

Cross Plains, Ind, March 1.-There was never such a large gathering of humanity in Cross Plains in its history as there was today to hear the closing arguments in the trial of Hezelziah Hughes for alleged com plicity in the Southern Indiana Iynching. The state dilated a great deal on testimony of Charles Kelly, whom they had brought from the reform school at Plainfield.
 Probably the most sensa tionai part Of the argument was MT. Thompson's accusa- tion of Governor Mount and Attorney Gen eral Keteham, charging that they had brought Kelly here to testify against Hughes on the promise Of giving him his liberty from the reform school. NIT. Ketch- am denied this.
 Squire Craig said, in rendering his de- cision: q have been in the late war, saw men wounded, bleed and fall dead upon the battlefield, but this is the hardest task that has ever befallen me. While De- liepe 200 men in that mob are guilty or lynching the five men in the Versailles 1aal, I must and do declare according to the tes- timony given in the case, that Hezek1ah Hughes Is not guilty"
 Attorney General Ketcham, after the de- cisdon was rendered, at once left for ln- dianapoas where he will report to the governor. 1t is not known what the next move of the governor will be.

DIRTY BALL WILL
 BE SUPPRESSED National League Magnates Now
 in Session Adopt UNCOMPROMlSING RULES
RULES
UNCOM PROMISING
Against Obscene and Vulgar Language-A Player May Be Suspended or Expelled
 For Life at Discretion of Judges.

St. Louis, March 1.-Most radical legis- ton was enacted today by the magnates of the National base ball league, assem- bled here in annual session. A treasure for the suppression of obscene, indecent and vulgar language upon the ball field by players, introduced by Chairman Bush, was adopted by the representatives of the twelve clubs present without a dissenting vote. The provisions of this measure are most sweeping and provide for the trial of guilty persons before a tribunal of three judges to be known as the board of discipline" which shall punish the cul- prit either by suspension or expulsion for life.
 Death to Obscenity 5 ''The penalties for using obscene, inde- cont or vulgar 1arfguage ai'e,Y as the meas uie states, "entire1y within the discretion of the tribunal and may be suspension for days, for months, for the unexpired sea- son, for a year, or for life, according to the conditions, circumstances and nature of the offense, it being the sentiment Of the league that creates this law that an unwarranted, unprovoked and brutal use of vulgarity to a spectator or within the presence of spectators and within the hearing of ladies should debar the offender forever from service with his club or any other club member of this league or sub ject to it's jurisdiction. The extreme penal ty proposed in this measure, viz. life ex- pulsion, shall require the unanimous ap- proval of three members of the tribunal, and there will be no appeal from decision by this body for a rehearing or a reopen- ing of case except by unanimous vote of the board of directors based upon new evidence"
 To a Tribunal
 It shall be competent for either parties to a case submitted to the tribunal to show under oath the character and stand ing of those who make the charges ana give evidence, and before the life expul- sion can be imposed the accused may. if he elect, have the opportunity of cross examining the witness against him. There shall be no appeal from decision Of the tribunal for a rel1earing or a reopening of a case except by unanimous vote Of the hoard of directors based upon new evi- dence
 The tribunal shall be selected by the national league No one shall be mem Der who is financially interested in club.
 The first tribunal under this provision shall be comprised of l.. C. Krautshon, or Kansas City, who shall be selected to serve three years: Louis Kaumer, of Cin- cnnat who shall serve two years, ana Frederick K. Stearns, of Detroit, who shall serve one year, and beginning with 1899, and each year thereafter, there snail he one member elected to serve three years. If a player under suspension, pend ing investigation, should be acquitted by the tribunal, his salary shall be paid by the president of the league for the time he was under suspension.

A SECRET CONSPIRACY
To Assissnate King George of Greece-An-
 other Arrest.

Athens, March 1.-The accomplice of Kar- ditza, Macedonian workman named Gior- gil, has been arrested. Karditza and Gior- gil on Saturday last attempted to assassi- nate King George of Greece by shooting him while he was out driving with Prin- cess Maria. Giorgh has made a confession. He declares he acted at the instigation of Kardftza, the latter representing that to kill the king would be an act of great cour- age and glorify them both.
 Giorgifs courage oozed out at the last moment and he was unable to hit the horses, upon which everything depended.
 A bomb has been found near the scene of the attack. It contained 100 drachms of dynamite.
 Karditza, when examined, admitted that he intended to throw the bomb into the kings carriage.
 The general result of the inquiry thus far appears to indicate the existence of a secret conspiracy.
