GIVES UP RANK FOR RANKS.
English Captain, Involved In Love
Affair, Enlists in o. s. Army.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, December a.
Company A. 9th Infantry, U. s. A.. at
Plattsburg, N. Y. has just received a re-
cruit in the person of r. H. Horetzky, q
Polish nobleman, who for fourteen years
and up to last week was q commissioned
officer in the imperial English army. The
young man served throughout the Boer
war received several medals for bravery,
and at the end of the war was sent with
his regiment to Halifax. While stationed
there he met and fell in love with Cana
dian girl whose home is in St. Johns, Que
bee. Their courtship resulted In an en-
gagement, but the marriage was opposed
by>Horetzky's mother and brother officers.
Last summer the last OF the Imperial
English troops left Canada, but number
of officers were left at Halifax to instruct
the permanent militia, which now garrisons
the army posts throughout Canada Among
these was Horetzky, who a short time ago
was promoted to be captain. The opposi-
ton to his love affair finally became SO
strong that early last fall he secured
leave Of absence, and in order to be as
still not be on Canadian soil, he came to
this city, where he has since been making
occasional visits to the young lady in St
Johns.
Horetzky's mother made several visits to
him here and endeavored. to induce him to
give up the girl and return to his army
post, but he would not do SO. His mother
on her last visit to this city consented to
fish army and enlisting as a private in
Uncle Sans army, hoping that his expert
ences as an enlisted man, with possible
service In the Philippines, would cure him
Of his love for the Canadian girl.
He accordingly went to Plattsburg bar
racks, was sworn into the service, and Is
now wearing the uniform of the enlisted
men of the United States army.

sCHMITz-RUEF CASE.
Chief Of Police Arrested on Charges of
Conspiracy and Perjury.


SAN FRANCISCO, December 13.-Mayor
Schmitz and ABE" Ruef. who are endeav-
oring by every possible means to delay the
proceedings against them, gained another
postponement yesterday until next Monday.
In the meanwhile all sorts of legal subter-
fuges are being employed by their counsel.
the latest being the plea that the grand
jury indictments were not legal, as one Of
the jurors ought to have been excused on
the ground of his prior service.
This sort of thing of course, is producing
the worst impression, and people are asking
why. If the accused men have any sort Of
a. defense, they are trying to escape by
means of one legal technicality after an
other.
Chief of Police Jerry" Oman appeared
yesterday to answer charges of conspiracy
and perjury. 1t is alleged that positive
proof has been obtained of his connection
swore before the grand jury that he did not
know of the existence of this place until a
Catholic priest drew his attention to 1t.
Representatives of the police department
subsequently laid before the grand jury
information which showed that detailed
report regarding the dive had been made
by a patrolman on the day it was opened.
Dfnan's case was postponed today for a
week. ~
Alfred Andrieu. who was a witness against
Ruef and Schmitz before the grand jury,
was arrested yesterday on charge made
by a woman who said he had persuaded
her to become an inmate of disorderly re-
sort. This arrest followed many threats to
do Andrieu bodily harm and run him out
of San Francisco.
1t Is said that many other arrests of wit
nesses before the grand jury will be made,
and the officials prosecuting Schmitz and
Ruef declare that these charges are part
of the plan of a campaign on behalf of the
accused mayor and boss"

PLEASED WITH PROGRESS.
Board Of American University Trus-
tees Discusses General Conditions.

Following the election Of the trustees and
standing committees at the meeting of the
American University board yesterday the
members discussed the general progress
that had been made in the erection Of build
ings and the improvement Of the grounds.
The board seemed to be well pleased with
the progress made on the buildings and
with the appreciation in investments both
in ground and other securities. 1t is esti-
mated now that the university with its
ninety acres of ground north of Washing
ton, the buildings that are now going up
and the money that has been donated both
toward the endowment fund and the build
ing expenses has assets totaling about
Only 600 of this is specifically endow-
ment fund money and plans are being made
to raise more.
1t will be about a year before the second
of the buildings now being erected is fin
ished. 1t is the Hall of Government, me-
mortal to President Mckinley. The report
of progress shows that the walls are well
up and the roof about ready to go on.
The hall of history is finished and Is
ready now for occupancy except for the
fact that there is no heat and light avail
able, because the university intends. to
have a central lighting, heating and
power plant for all of the buildings.
The minimum endowment fund on which
it is thought the university can be sa It's
factorily opened is half million dollars.
1t was intended to make the university
entirely graduate school There is said to
be every indication, however that the
money will be forthcoming when there is
need for 1t.
There may be an undergraduate depart
ment added to the university later as a
feeder, If such seems desirable, but If 1t Is
done 1t will be under separate management,
and will neither detract from nor conflict
with the dignity Of the parent institution.
With the present appropriation made by
Congress and the recommendations of the
District Commissioners 1t is believed the
work of extending Massachusetts avenue
to the university grounds can be vigorously
pushed so that by next year there will be
broad highway directly from the heart
of the city to the university grounds.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., December 13.-The
wedding Of the Marquis Rene de Andingne,
French aristocrat and land proprietor, to
Miss Madeline Ives Goddard, only daughter
of Colonel and Mrs. Robert H. I. Goddard,
has been set for two weeks from next Sat-
urdaY. The announcement was made today
by Colonel Goddard, whose guest the mar
quis has been at Hopeton House, the God
dard homestead in this city, since his ar
rival in America several weeks ago.
The marquis has been the guest at many
functions, public and private, within the
last fortnight, and has made a flying visit
within that period to Philadelphia, where he
has aunt. He appears democratic in
manner, and has created an excellent i'm
preston. Miss Goddard is perhaps one of
the richest girls in New England, and Is a
cousin of Mrs. Oliver 1selin.
The wedding will probably be very quiet
because of a recent death in the family Of
the marquis.
