captured Fannin and his com

and Colonel Portilla, the Mex

tested against the murder Of
Fannin's men, which took place ct
the latter point. Nearly all the
Mexican officers urged that the
captured Texans be treated as pris-
oners of war, but Santa Annals
orders for their execution were iln-
perative. It is known, moreover,
that the few whe escaped death at
Goliad, either by getting away
from their captors Or by being
spared contrary to Santa Annals
orders, owed their lives to the
humanity Of Portilla or some of

keep the engagement. The reporter was
there, however, and in the presence of

made, but which he for diplomatic rea-
sons had not used in his interview.
"Unpardonablel" cried Saleza.
Finding that things were getting hot
De Nevers wrote letters of apology to
the offended tenors Saleza wrote in re-
ply forbidding him ever to address him
in public or expect to have his existence
noticed in the future. In reply to this
the tenor received a polite intimation
that the seconds of De Nevers would
call on him in Paris in the spring.

CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE
Withdrawals From Classified
Lists Are Deprecated

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 15.-At the
business session of the National Civil
Service league tdoay, all the old officers
were reelected, and resolutions which
were read in part, as follows, were
adopted:
The league regards the order issued
by the president on the 29th of May
last, withdrawing several thousand
places from the classified service and
relaxing the rules intended to prevent
evasions of the law, as the first I'M
mistakeable backward step taken by
the federal administration since the
civil service law was passed.
THE injurious effects of this order
have already been seen in the demon
alization of many parts of the federal
service; in the encouragement of the
enemies of reform in their efforts to
cripple the merit system and secure a
further relaxation of the rules, and in
the widespread distrust of the promises
of the president and the party in power
to enforce and extend the civil service
law.
I'VE also regret that the president
has not yet fulfilled the assurance Civ
en- by him to a committee of the league,
of his intention to include in the elias
sified service a much larger number of
places than those withdrawn, but on
the contrary, has included none what
ever. We venture to hope that such ex-
tensions may yet be made, at no dist
ant day."

Added spice will be added to the
grand opera season this winter when it
is known that a horrible and bloody
duel-not a stage affair, but the real
French thing, with rapier thrusts, and
seconds and surgeons, and pieces in the
papers-is impending and that possibly
one of the worlds greatest tenors and
a newspaper writer will bite the dust
of the lie de la Jatte in March of the
coming year.
Albert Saleza is the tenor who pro-
poses to wipe out the stain which has
been placed on the high-noted singers
of Mr.. Grau's operate aggregation
Maurice de Nevers is the creature"
who has affronted the tenors. He is a
Pole, a writer on musical matters, and
is supposed to be the accredited repre-
sentative of Jean de Reszke, whom he
naturally believes to be the only real
thing alive.
De NeVers came to this country with
Edouard de Reszke. In Boston he was
interviewed about Mr.. Grau's company,
which he extolled to the skies while de-
ploring the fact that lit had no tenors."
The excitement which followed can
only be compared to an eruption in the
crater of Vesuvius. Here was COM
pany which boosted of Van Dyke, a
Saleza, an Alvarez, a DIPPED and Sal
ignac, the worlds most famous tenors,
barring De Reszke. They fairly seetf1ed
like molten lava with Indignation. The
air was blue.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
The Opera House Troubles Aired Before
Justice Crawford.

From The Citizen.
There was much interest in the
cases up before Judge Crawford this
morning growing out OF the scenes
enacted in and about the opera house
yesterday morning Attorney Finical
James Smith and others appeared to
answer to numerous charges of as
sault of unlawfully assembling to
cause riot and disturbance, of as
sault to a building and of almost all
the peace disturbing crimes in the
statutes. A great deal of testimony
was introduced which, when sifted
by his honor, brought him to the con-
clusion that the cases could be hand
led to better advantage by a jury and
consequently bound the defendants
over to the grand jury. He exacted
bonds of $3.50 each from Thomas Fini-
cal and James Smith and 800 each
from the other defendants.
There seemed to be desire on the
part of the defense: to show their
right to enter and take forcible pos
session of the opera house property,
and to that end they introduced as
evidence several orders Of the court.
calling particular attention to one or
two clauses in said orders, one OF
which reads as follows:
Now, therefore, you the said Henry
d. Johnson, your attorneys, agents,
servants and employees, are hereby
restrained and strictly enjoined from
using, renting or leasing the opera
house, in the city of Albuquerque,
described in said petition, or in any
way interfering with, or obstructing
use of said opera house by Angelo
Viviani, Joseph Badaracco or Thomas
Flnical you are further ordered to
turn over. to said Angelo Viviani,
Joseph Badaraeco and Thomas Fini-
cal the keys of said opera house, etc.
Another clause upon which they
laid stress was as follows:
THE application of said defendant,
Frank P. Mcclure, to be restored to
the possession of the said property of
which he was deprived by the said re-
straining order is by the court de-
MED"
The third clause was taken from
an order OF the court in which, after
the court had denied the application
for receivership, he goes on to say
that "the application of the defendant
Frank P. Mcclure, based upon afiida-
Wits for a modification of the order
entered herein on the 21st day of Sep
tember, 1899, requiring the sheriff to
restore to the defendant, Frank p.
Mcclure, the keys taken from his pos
session under the restraining order
herein ON August "a, 1899, and to
place said defendant in the same sit
uation with reference to said proper
ty in which he was at time of the
execution of the restraining order,
and the court being fully advised
doth order that said application be
u.nied."
The orders from which above claus
es are taken were filed in the order
in which they are given and upon the
following dates: August "a, Septem-

er of triumphant cause; Douglas

supported and strengthened his arm.
