Outrageous, if True. | Last Friday night in South Washington five small colored boys, the oldest not more than fourteen years, were found under the influence of lquor. One of their number, Joseph Rhone, aged thirteen years, was | unconscious and had to be taken home by {his youthful companions. The scene was | a sad one and Policeman Cowne, who in- vestigated the case, procured a warrant for | Jeremiah Brosnan, the saloon keeper who | it is charged sold the liquor to one of the boys. His place is at 2d and H streets southwest. The warrant was returned to the Police Court this morning, the defend- nt having deposited $100 collateral for his pearance. He demanded a jury trial when the case | was calied. The case will was cal probably bo tried rik O PANIC IN A THEATER, | Quick Emptying of the Royal Opera House at Madrid. RUMORS OF AN ANARCHIST BOMB PLOT Recollections of the Barcelona Outrage Caused Terror. THE CITY IN EXCITEMENT. MADRID,Dec. 27.—A large audience gath- ered last night in the Royal Opera House, and while waiting for the performance to begin the people conversed with each other in the manner common at operatic perform- ances, Suddenly a rumor was circulated through the house that anarchists were present and intended to commit a bomb outrage. With the memory of the outrage at the Lyceum Theater at Barcelona fresh in their minds the people did not for an in- stant doubt that the rumor was true, and in less time than it takes to tell it the whole audience was in a state of semi-panic. The women hastily donned their wraps, men grabbed their hats and overcoats and hurriedly departed from the building. The hasty egress of the audience attracted the attention of passersby, who were soon in- formed of the rumor that had driven them from the opera house, and these, in turn, further circulated the report, with such ad- ditions as their imaginations ted. In some quarters it was reported that a frightful explosion had and soon the streets in the vicinity of the opera house were packed with excited throngs of people clamoring for details of the affair. ‘The population of the whole city was in- tensely excited. The news speedily reached the governor of Madrid, and close upon its heels followed a denial. The governor at once drove to the opera house, where by this time the people, among whom lingered many of those who had bee! inside the building, were demanding the in- stant arrest of the would-be bomb throwers, though who they were no one could say. When the governor appeared and stated that the rumor was a canard the crowd be- came and most of them quietly departed. The great fear and excitement caused by mere rumor of an anarchist plot is evi- dence of the state of the people caused by the repeated anarchist outrages. ——_— MRVA’S COSTLY TREACHERY. He Was a Police Spy and Betrayed His Sweetheart’s Brother. PRAGUE, Hungary, Dec. 27.—The assas- sination of Rudolph Mrva, who, it is alleged by many young Czechs, was a police spy or gent provacateur, and the arrests that have followed have caused great excitement here, and it is evident that the authorities expect trouble. The police are confined in the barracks, ready to be dispatched in- stantly to the scene of any disturbance. The houses of many members of the Om- Jadina, the secret society to which the as- sassins of Mrva belonged, have been search- ed, and more arrests are impending. It is reported that a young woman to whom Mrva had paid his addresses knew for a long time of his connection with the police, but she did not reveal the fact to any one. Mrva persuaded the young wo- man's brother to join the Omladina, and shortly after he became connected with the organization he was arrested, His sister, with her knowledge of Mrva’s real occupation, concluded that the latter had caused the incarceration of her brother. and she determined to have revenge on him. She had in her possession a note book belonging to Mrva, which, it is said, contains many entries showing that 1 owner was an active ally of the police, and that he had betrayed many men into the hands of the authorities. This note book the young woman handed over to Herr Hergld, the member of the reichsrath who denounced Mrva in the house during the recent debate on the coercive measures taken at Prague by the gcvernment, and Herr Herold intends to publish it to prove the assertion of him- self and others that Mrva was a police spy. phases x= hese AFFAL IN UGANDA. Expalast of the Mohammedans Ends Their Power There. BERLIN, Dec. 27.—Thée Tageblatt prints an article by Eugene Wolff, based on let- ters he has received from Uganda, Central Africa, to July 25. He says that the Mo- tg | hammedans have again been expelled from Uganda, and that he believes their power in that country is ended. He predicts, how- ever, that a war between the Christians and Mohammedans is probable and that Unvore will be the scene of the conflict. He is also of the opinion that the com- bination of Protestants and Catholics is not likely to endure, as the Protestants luave failed to carry out their share of agreement entered into with Sir Gerald Portel, the British commissioner to Uganda, and since Sir Gerald’s departure they are demanding exclusive possession of the country. : Juiging from all his information at hand Herr Wolff concludes that the situation in Uganda is serious. —- DIED FROM EXPOSURE. Three Men Broke Through Saranac Lake and Were Frosen. PLATTSBURG, N. Y¥., Dec. 27.—On Sat- urday Joseph and Henry Manly and George Cronk started to walk from Saranac Lake to Tupper Lake over the ice. When about half way across the lake the ice gave way and all three went down. By heroic efforts they managed to get out, but before they could get to shelter were frozen. The three men died from exposure Monday morning. The double funeral of the Manlys was held at Clayburgh, their former home, yes- terday and Cronk’s remains were taken to | North Adams, Mass., for interment. See sates ASHINGER FORCED TO RETIRE.

Dange Menacing the Democrata— Recent Charges by Mrs. Lease. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 25, 1893. ‘The democrats of Kansas are confronted with two dangers and it will require the wisest councils and the most deliberate judgment of the leaders to steer through next year’s campaign, maintain and strengthen their party organization, and at the same time prevent the return of eight republicans to Congress. If they decline to consider propositions to combine with popu- lists and run straight tickets, and poll for them the full party vote, the republicans will elect a Congressman-at-large and one in each of the seven districts, which would be a gain for the republicans of five in this state. An analysis of the vote polled at the recent local elections shows sufficient re- publican strength to do this. On the other hand, if the democrats agree to combinations on state and congressional Uckets, which would give them, say one- half of the congressional candidates, there Would still be a doubt about their ability to elect all such tickets. It would disorganize the democratic party and at the same time many antl-fusion populists would bolt any attempt at further fusion. The democrats in Kansas, who last year consented to an indorsement of the popu- Mist electoral and state tickets, did so upon the urgent request and advice of national democratic leaders. Senators Gorman and Hill were anxious for a fusion, and urged it. Ex-Secretary Whitney, Dan Lamont and other close friends of President Cleveland met a number of leading Kansas democrats in Washington, and urged them. to come home and work for a combination of all the forces opposed to the republicans. John A. Eaton of Winfield in a talk about the Washington meeting said: “The demo- crats of Kansas went into that combina- tion at the earnest request of Gorman, Brice, Whitney, Lamont and others. I was present and listened to their appeals. They said they represented President Cleveland and that he was anxious to have fusion brought about in Kansas, Nebi Col- orado and other states where the were strong. I was opposed to the plan, be- cause I knew it would demoralize our party. But I came home with others and com- menced to work up the combination. Senator Martin was the strongest worker for the very thing the President, through his trust- ed advisers, desired. The plan as outlined at Washington went through, and no sooner was the election over and President Cleve- Jand inaugurated th: he commenced to punish the fusion democrats for carrying out his wishes. It seems to me ingratitude and a very poor way to build up and strengthen the democracy.” Senator Martin has received many very hard slaps from the administration and is very likely to drift into the populist ranks before another six months elapses. He is not in harmony with his party in Kansas and cannot hope for a re-election, except from the populists, and there is no certainty about them carrying a sufficient number of the legislative districts next year to elect the Senator. They have twenty-two Sena- tors who hold over and must secure sixty- one of the legislative districts. Based on the populist vote polled at the recent elec- tion they would elect thirty-five members. Mrs. Lease’s Charges Against Populiats Mrs. Mary Lease came to Topeka sev- eral days ago and reiterated her charge against the members of the populist state administration in which she said they were boodlers and thieves. She still retains her position as chairman of the state board of charities, and defies the governor to remove her. Mrs. Lease is decidedly opposed to further fusion with the democrats in Kan- ‘as, but if reports are true she did not en- tertain similar views a little over a year ago when, in company with Gen. Weaver, they made a tour through Alabama in the interest of a fusion between the Koilbites and the republicans. As the story goes, Mrs. Lease and Gen. Weaver met Chris, Magee of Pittsburg in Alabama, and there fixed up a bigger fusion deal than was ever thought of in Kansas. Mugee had been sent down to Alabama to arrange, if possible, with the populists who were sup- | porting Kolb for governor a fusion between them and the republicans on an electoral ticket. While there he met Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease, and had several interviews. About this time Mrs. Lease wrote the fa. mous interview which appeared simulta- | neously in the New York World and Chi- \cago Inter Ocean, denouncing the people of the south, paying special attention to the democratic party. Her interview was intended to stir up the old sectional feeling between the north and south, and drive ex- Union svldiers back to the republican party. Mrs. Lease arrived home a few'days be- fore election, and was invited to make a speech in Topeka. It was a democratic meeting, and before she had talked half an hour Chairman W. C. Jones of the state central committee, who was chairman of the meeting, asked her to desist. She had commenced a tirade against the democrats of Georgia, charging tnem with rotten-egg- ing the Weaver party. Mrs. Lease left the hall with fire in her eye. The next day she told her friends that Grover Cleveland would uever be President if Gen. Weaver secured enough electoral votes to prevent did not hesitate to say that they would be thrown to Harrison if Weaver could not be elected, and that, she said, they did not consider possible. ; Leaders of the populist party in Kansas are aware of these things, but they know that Mrs. Lease is very strong with the file of the party, and if she desired, could lead a bolt that would land 40,000 votes in the republican camp. They need her in their business, and she is privileged to say what she pleases about them. In her recent criticism of the state admin- istration not one of the leaders criticised her. They explained it away by saying “Mrs. Lease is not feeling well, and proba- bly said something she will retract later. But she did not retract and will not. She will continue to draw her $100 per month from the state, and declares that no man or set of men can put a padlock on her mouth, es RACES WERE RUN.

She | WARRANT SWORN OUT| Charging Joseph Jondan With Violating the Postal Laws. Other Warrants to Follow — Alleged Forgery of Money Orders—New Jer- sey Authorities May Want Him. Joseph Jondan,the Austrian,who has been under ‘arrest since Christmas evening be- cause of his having written threatening pos- tals and letters to Vice President Steven- son, Senators Mills, Sherman, Gordon and others, was taken to the Police Court this morning. Detective Rhodes escorted him to the cell room, where prisoners are kept until they are taken into court for a hear- ing. There he was turned over to’ Police- man Madigan, who is in chargé of the prison room. ‘This officer put the Austrian in the middle cell, in which was a small colored boy, who was held on a charge of disorder. The boy evidently knew nothing of the identity of the man with whom he had to spend the morning, for he exhibited not the slightest sign of fear. Protested Against the Police Court. Jondan paced the floor of his cell and smoked the pipe which he has owned for many weeks. He talked freely to the offi- cer in charge dnd the boy who occupied the cell with him. He protested against a trial in the Police Court. “I want to be tried in the United States court,” he said, “and then I will tell some- thing that will startle the country. It’s all right as long as I am kept in one of these cells, but when I get on the stand I am going to tell all I know.” The prosecuting officer examined the case and ordered the issuance of a warrant for violating the postal laws, and Warrant Clerk Washburn made out the warrant charging that the defendant mailed, for the purpose of delivery, a postal card con- taining certain threatening language. Violating the Postal Laws. This' is the postal he sent to Vice Presi- dent Stevenson, and it is more than prob- able that other charges will follow. The warrant mentioned was sworn out by Chief Drummond of the secret service, and the additional warrants to be issued will prob- ably be sworn out late this afterngon or tomorrow. In these warrants the letter sent to Senator Mills will perhaps be charg- ed. It is certain that the charge upon which he is taken into court in the morn- ing will contain three counts. The prisoner was not taken into court, but was committed to jail to be brought up tomorrow morning.

A crank made an attempt to kill Mayor Henry B. Tyler of Louisville in his office on the first floor of the-city hall at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Z The mayor was sitting in his office alone when a well-dressed man of medium height walked in and said he wanted it proved that his father had not committed suicide. The mayor saw that the man was a crank and told him he knew nothing about his father. The fellow then said: “I came here to demand my rights. I own property near the city limits and I do not want them extended.” Then he pulied a revolver and told the mayor he was going to kill him. The mayor, although small of stature, is something of a fighter, and before the crank could use his weapon the mayor had taken it from him and called for Assistant City Attorney Lafe Josephs, who was in the next room. Mr. Josephs ran in, and, seeing the pistol in the mayor’s hands, ran for an officer. He found Detective Daly in the main corridor, and the officer rushed in and, quickly securing the crank, started out with him, when he became very unruly. Detective Daly was forced to call for help, and Lieut. Jacobs ran out of Chief ‘Taylor's office. It took the combined ef- forts of the two officers to take the man to the jail, next door, where he gave the name of Phil J. Schwarz. He Was locked up on the charge of lu- |nacy and carrying concealed weapons. Schwarz, who is about thirty-two years of age, has been trying to get on the police force for some time, and at the time of his arrest he had a huge petition to the mayor in_ his pocket. : He asked his mother to go with him to the mayor's office yesterday morning, but she refused to do so. She says that her son, who is a wood worker, has been out of work for some — and has been acting very queerly of te. The Schwarzes live at 851 East Jefffferson street, where Louis Schwarz, a brother of Philip, rons a barber shop. The father killed himself seven years ago. ——___+e-_—____ BELL BEHIND THE BARS. The Minister and His Wife Locked Up in Astoria Jail, Rev. Jonathan Edward Bell of Long Island City and his second wife, the step- mother of little Edith and Harry, who re- cently died without’ medical attendance, were arrested and locked up in the Astoria Police station last night. They are charged with failing to provide medical attendance or proper nourishment for the two chil- dren. ‘The warrants were sworn out by Special Officer Herman Meyers of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevertion of Cruelty to Children, after he had made a careful in- vestigation into the deaths of the Bell children. Justice Daniel Noble issued the warrants. They were turned over to Officer Edward Burden for execution, Burden ar- rested Bell while he was at work editing his weekly newspaper, the Long Island Flag, in the office, No. 167 Main street, Astoria. Upon his arrest Bell said to the officer: “Well, I suppose they have found it.” The officer did not make any comment in reply to this exclamation. Burden turned his prisoner over to Policeman Ward, and re- Paired to the Bell residence, where he plac- ed Mrs. Bell under arrest and took her to the station house. They were locked up in separate cells. ‘The technical charges against the couple are based on sections 285 and 289 of the Penal Code. The first section provides that “a person who willfully omits without lawful excuse to perform a duty by law im- posed upon him to furnish food, clothing, shelter or medical attendance to a minor” is guilty of a misdemeanor. Section 29 makes it a misdemeanor to allow the health of a child to become endangered. The chemist who is making an analy- sis of the contents of little Edith’s stomach in a search for the poison which rumor hinted might have caused her sickness has not yet reported to the coroner. “A reporter saw Mrs. Bell in her cell last night. She was calm and _self-possessed. She brightened up when told that the charges against her were only for misde- meanors. She anxiously wanted to know when Coroner Brandon would receive the chemist’s report. Bell appeared more crestfalien than his wife, and found consolation in saying that he hadn’t neglected his children and that bra authorities could not do anything with ‘im. Agent Meyer of the society has collected @ mass of evidence against the couple, tell- ing of the way in which they are alleged to have neglected their children. Little Arthur Bell, the other child, who was ten days ago rescued from the super- vision of his parents in an emaciated con- dition by neighbor John Allen, is still in | the Astoria Hospital. The little fellow has improved wonderfully, and will be able to substantiate Agent Meyer's charge against his stepmother and father. The feeling against the couple runs so high in Astoria that at a late hour last night Bell had not secured a bondsman, al- though his eighteen-year-old son, at the in- stigation of his imprisoned father, scoured the vicinity for property owners willing to qualify for the release of his parents until this morning.

TELL evita iit SSSSSEESSumK SEK SES oS eh SahSSSSh=SSssss ii Beginning of the Annus] Tournament at New York. The annual intercollegiate chess tourna- ment began yesterday at the Harvard School, New York, when Mr. William Free- land, the governor of the school, opened the proceedings with a speech, in which he ex- plained the object of the contest to the great number of spectators present. The students ot Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Princeton formed a league for the annual competition for a silver challenge cup, which was pre- sented last year to the league, and which ‘was won by Columbia on the first occasion. The players were scheduled in the follow- ing order yesterday: Hymes (Columbia) vs, Hewins (Harvard). Ross (Yale) vs. Ewing (Princeton). Libaire (Columbia) va. Roberts ). Skinner (Yale) vs. Spalding (Harvard). Hewins relied upon a Queen’s Flanchet- ‘to defense against Hymes, who played rath- er carelessly and lost a piece at his twenty- sixth move. The game ended in a draw, af- ter forty-two moves, when Hymes had a PoRoss opened ‘with P—Q4, rs and very soon attacked his opponent, Ewing, who at first nad to give and @ novel defense, which at the exchanze, later on # rook and @ strong attack. Libaire resigned on his thirtieth move. The game between Skinner and Spalding, a French defense adopted by the latter, a well-played game. In the end white a fine attack, but he allowed black to. cape. Eventually the game was drawn perpetual check at the forty-third move. o<o—___ Against the Cocking Main. To the Editor of The Evening Stsr: A hearty amen to “Philippa’s” earnest ap- peal for the horses, and now let some per- son or persons enter as strong a protest against the cocking mains that occasionally loom up, with their blood-thirsty details, a disgrace to our civilization. The Humane Society is accomplishing a great work, con- sidering the small number actively inter- ested, but it needs all the aid of pulpit and press to mitigate a tenth of the evils re- sulting from thoughtlessness, as well as in- tentional cruelty toward the brute crea- tion, whose existence is as essential to our happiness and welfare as it is our duty to consider as wards intrusted to our keeping by a beneficent Creator. In the words of another, the humanities are not solitary, and to educate a child to exercise kindness toward the heipless, though not endowed with the faculty of speech, is just as much a Christian duty as to teach him the Ten Commandments. So with children of larger growth, who are influenced by their en- vironment. There ts evidently a growing spirit of condemnation for cruelty, and it is cheering to see the determined stand taken by those in authority against the Ivy City race course, 8. E. W. ee Busy All This Week. From the New York Sun. It is dead wrong to assume that the cause of Lilfuokalani has no friends in the United States, now that President Cleveland ana the hired agents of Claus Spreckles have abandoned it as hopeless. Let a man of high moral perceptions, en- thusiastic imagination, and truly chivalric impulses once become convinced that a grievous wrong has been inflicted by this government upon a woman Ike Mrs. Dom- inis, and he will fly to her relief with pas- sionate energy. He will fly all the quicker because everybody else hangs back. Such a man is the Hon. William McKendree Springer of Springfield, 11. Mr. Springer earnestly believes that it Is the duty of Congress to put Lilluokalani back again upon the Hawatlian throne, con- quering and disarming the provisional gov- ernment, if that is necessary, in order to accomplish the restoration of the queen. He believes it, for he has said so In print under his own honored signature. He will accept in behalf of Liliuokalani nothing less than the full hereditary rights of royalty. It is forcible restoration that Mr. Springer de- mands. “Anything short of this,” he has declared, in words that were measured be- fore they were written down on paper by | his hand, “is a mockery of justice, 1s un- worthy of a Christian nation, and a travesty upon our devotion to the principles of local self-government.” Holding these sentiments, it is creditable | to Mr. Springer that he should utter them in a voice which everybody can hear. And it is noble tn him to consecrate the holiday season, while other members of Congress are giving presents and receiving them, eating, drinking and making merry, to the preparation of his great speech in support House of Representatives as soon as the re- cess is over. Appearing as a solitary cham- pion, he will endeavor by his eloquence to vin over that entire legislative body to the | cause of the deposed und rejected queen. Congress has the authority to declare war in behalf of Liliuokalani, and Mr. Spi has the right to make the appeal to Con- gress; not, it is true, as chairman of the committee on banking and currency, but as a legislator and a man of heart. ‘That is why Mr. Springer is busy all this week. We do not share his views respecting Liliuokalani and her rights; but we honor his courage, his chivalry, and his unwaver- ing fidelity to the convictions of his mind. —_———_-e-+____ CUT OFF HIS OWN NOSE. Haunted by Spirits, a Miner Becomes Violently Insane. Michael Scheswicks of Edwardsville, Pa., a miner, for some time has been haunted by evil spirits who torture him by pinch- ing him. He seized a hammer yesterday, and, after driving everybody out of his boarding house, went up to his room on the third floor and deliberately cut off the end of his nose and his upper lip, inflicting a horrible wound. His screams of pain were heard and several men tried to break in his door, thinking he was committing suicide. Hearing their blows, Scheswicks went headlong through the window, carrying the sash with him. He fell on the curbstone. He’ was stunned for a time, but when he regained his senses broke away from the persons who were dressing his wounds and led them a long chase through the town before, weakened by loss of blood and winded, he Was caught and hand. of the resolution which he will offer in the | SSE SS SSS FINANCIAL.
