HINsEY is ACQUITTED.
Tried on o.aarses Of Mismanagement
OF Pythian Affairs.


OF Pythian Affairs.
Chicago, Jan. 29.-After % sessions
a committee of five past chancellors
of Interdomain lodge, Knights of Py-
thias, has unanimously voted to acquit
John A. Hinsey of the charges brought
against him.
Mr.. Hinsey is the former head of the
insurance department of the Knights
of Pyth1ns. Charges of mismanage.
ment and misappropriation Of the de-
partment's funds were made against
him at the meeting of the supreme
lodge in Chicago last July. A few
weeks ago he was tried on criminal
charges brought against him before
Judge Dunn and acquitted.
The trial in the order, however, was
of different character. For IL years
Hinsey was the head of the endow-
ment rank and resigned a year ago. Z.
The supreme lodge, in session at the
Lexington hotel last July, announced
that shortage Of 100000 had been
found, that the loss had endangered
the existence of the department of
which he was head and 63 charges,
including embezziement, submitting
false reports and misconduct and mis-.
management of the insurance depart
ment were made. Five past chancel-
lors of 1nterdomain lodge, Mccormick
Wright, Davis, Phillips and Godding,
were appointed to try Hinsey and
they began the hearing of evidence
last September: At the 23d session
just concluded, the verdict OF acquittal
was rendered. The evidence which
the defense produced was to the effect
that $50o,0oO had been loaned on good
security and since paid. back to the
treasury. In another paragraph Hin
sey was charged with appropriating
to his own use $1,726 while he was
secretarytof Milwaukee lodge in 1898
and this charge was also disproved.

DUTCH WANT TO SETTLE.
Dutch Government Offers it's Good
Offices Toward Settlement Of
s. South African War.
British Government Investigating the
Matter Before the Offer is
Accepted.
Negotiations Will Begin Between Two
Countries if Satisfactory Guar
anty is Made.

London, Jan. 29>--The government
leader, A. J. Balfour, announced in the
house of commons during the day that
no overture for peace had been receiv-
ed from anyone authorized to speak
in behalf of the Beers. A comunica-
ton was, however, 3received late Sat
urday last from the Dutch government
which was ROW under consideration.
MIR. Baafour hoped shortly to lay the
communication and the reply to it be-
fore the honse. n.t sv
Regarding the statement of Mr.. Bal.
tour 1t is learned that the government
of Holland has offered in the most
friendly terms to help in bringing
about peace In South Africa. In
communication to the British govern
ment the Dutch government suggests
that 1T might be permitted to act as
sort OF diplomatic agent for the Boer
delegates. The government, however,
expressly tdisavows any attempt at In
tervention sAnd does not mention any
terms. T. W..
1t was slearned by representative
of :the Associated Press that the Brit
ish government infers it would not
have 'beel approached unless the
Dutch authorities were convinced that
,the Boer'delegates now in Europe were
willing ito accept the cardinal points
Fof: the British peace terms, SO frequent
.ly announced in parliament.
Lord lLansdowne, the foreign Sec
,retary ,ETeplied in friendly terms to The
Netherlands proposal, but instituted
inquiries in order to ascertain the ex-
tent iof the powers delegated to Mr..
Kruger and the other Boer representa-
'tivesitn Europe to act in behalf of the
iburgfrers in the field A great doubt
is expressed at the foreign office here
7as to whether any negotiations carried
ION by the Boer delegates through the
Dutch government or other channels
will prove effectual If satisfactory
guarantees in this respect can be Sc
cured, negotiations will be begun i'm
;mediately. This doubt in regard to
authority of Mr.. Kruger and others
to speak for the fighting burghers is
perceptible in the statement Mr.. Bal
four made in the house of commons,
as detailed above.
