by the Police.

Ponce, T. r.. Feb. 7.-During n band
concert on the Plaza Principal, Sunday

to arrest Joseph S. Bigelow, Jr., of
Boston, on account of leading a dog.
Joseph S. Barkely, a deputy United
States marshal, conducted Bigelow to

Bigelow, who was entirely unarmed.

shot Bigelow in the cheek and fled.
The guards at the outer door permit
ted him to escape, but stopped Felix

Gov. Stanley of Kansas declares that
the state reform school must be re-
formed or abandoned. for the reason
that il has been, in the last few years,
breeding place for crime, kinder
garten for the penitentiary. The gov
ernor has ordered a change in the
management and promises to make of
it what the state really intended it
should bean Industrial institute.
Lord Roberts, the commander-in-
chief of the British forces in South
Africa, has cabled for 10000 addi-
tional men, which, it is added, the gov
ernment has promised to give him,
sending $4,000 militia and volunteers
and 10000 militia reserves.
Gov. Taylor of Kentucky has per-
sonally offered a reward of $500 for
the arrest and conviction of the man
who shot Goebel. Gov. Taylor says the
authorities of Franklin county, in
which the crime was committed, have
not requested him to officially offera re-
ward, and he therefore offers $500 as
an individual.
The condition of William Goebel, on
the night of the I'd, was considered
better than at any time since he was
shot. The iron will and determination
of the wounded man that he will not
die by an assassin's bullet is, however,
still considered the main factor in sus-
tanning him.
The president and his cabinet concur
in the opinion that the legislature of
the state of Kentucky, or a majority
thereof, is the sole judge of which of
two contestants is entitled to the CUB
ernatoriaI office, and that there is no
present ground for federal interfer-
ence.

TO BE sIFTED TO THE BOTTOM.
Judge Fisher, of ST. Louis, Gives
Sweeping and Specific Instruc-
tiOns to the Grand Jury.

St. Louis, Feb. 1.-THE February
grand jury was convened and in
structed in Judge Fishers division of
the criminal court Monday morning.
The jury at once retired to its quarters
for organization.
Judge Fishers instructions were
lengthy and clear. He instructs the
jury to probe deep into the city light
ing scandal, and to investigate to the
fullest extent the charge made by
public official in the public press that
bribery had been resorted to in the
past to stop indictments by grand
juries. The judge told the jury it's
powers in bringing unwilling wit
nesses before it and compelling them
to testify was practically unlimited,
and that this charge should be probed
to the bottom.
Judge Fisher also paid his respects
to the police department. He says that
while the force has been largely aug
mented, at a big expense to the city,
it is reported to be inefficient, and says
it has been said that certain officials
are responsible for such a condition.
He says that crime is rampant in ev-
cry part of the city, and that the po-
lice department should be thoroughly
investigated.
