RIO JANEIRO, Feb. 6.—President Petx- oto has offered to pardon privates belong. ing to the insurgent forces who apply for clemency within two months. During the ; past three days extraordinary but unsuc- cessful efforts have been made to induce members of the regular army to desert the | government and join the insurgent forces. When it was thought the regulars would turn their arms against the government the insurgent fleet was brought close to the shore in order that a force might be speedily landed to co-operate with the troops.

In 1884 Signor Clampanetla, a resident of Civita Lavigna, became involved in a dis- pute with a young man named Falcini, and the latter was killed, it being subsequently proved that the killing was done in self- defense.

COMING PAPAL ENCYCLICAL. It Will Be on the Union of the Dividea Cathoite Chureh, ROME, Feb. 6.—The representative in this city of the United Press has received au- thoritative information to the effect that the pope will shortly publish an encyclical on the union of the western and eastern churches, On Sunday last his holiness read | parish councils | Chronicle s | ovic, | Prof. Billroth was born at Bergen, April 26, to Cardinal Langeniux, archbishop of Reims, important passages from the en- cyclical. The pope traces the attempts that have been made to effect a union of the churches since the schism, and shows the endeavors of the papacy to bring about a union. The encyclical indicates the puliti- cal and theological obstacles in the way of effecting the desired end, and enumerates the advantages that would be derived by the eastern church through a union with the western. The pope declares that he is strongly in favor of keeping intact the rites, prerogatives, autonomy and discipline of the eastern church, for the papacy, though universal, is not Latin. The encyclical concludes with a pathetic and ardent prayer that this historical event: will be accomplished soon. It is probable that the encyclical will be published March 3.

Future of Admiral Gervais, PARIS, Feb. 6.—Admiral Gervais, who is at the head of the admiralty, and who, a few days ago, requested the minister of | marine to appoint him to active service, Will retain his position until the return of Vice Admiral Humann, who is at present in command of the naval division of the extreme orient. Vice Admiral Humann wili succeed Admiral Gervais, who will be ap- pointed to the command of the reserve | squadron.

PRAGUE, Feb. 6.—The inhabitants of the town of Rakunitz, thirty miles west of this city, have been terrified by the work of dynamiters there. Some weeks ago an attempt was made to blow up a hotel in the town, but the attempt was unsuccess- fel.

Efforts to Break Up Extensive Swin- dies in the Indian Territory, FORT SMITH, Ark., Feb. 6.—Chief Harris of the Cherokee nipion has arrived at Fort Smith and held a long conference with the United States district attorney in re- gard to extensive swindles that are being perpetrated upon people in Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois end nearly all the south- ern states. It has been discovered that un- scrupulous attorneys in Arkansas and the territory are sending circulars broadcast over the country announcing that any per. son who has a drop of Indian blood in his veins can be admitted to citizenship in the Indian territory in time to share in the proceeds from the sale of Cherokee bonds. To establish his claim and perfect citizen- ship a good round fee is exacted from the dupes who bite at the announcement. There ure 7,000 persons squatting on the territory, und these men are also sending out alluring announcements through these same lawyers offering to sell the lands to which they bear no title to any person who may make ap- plication, at a ridiculously low price. The result of this two-fold swindle is that | not only are letters pouring in from. all parts of the country, but farmers and home seekers, who hope to get a share in the rich Indian ‘territory at a nominal figure, are flocking to the promised land, only to find that they have been duped. District Attorney Read states that these poor people stand not a ghost of show of being admitted into Cherokee citizenship, for, even though they show that they have a Spoon or two of Indian blood in their veins, they can only be admitted by a yote of the Indian legislature. Chief Harris confirmed the statement of Mr. Read. Being asked if there was no way to remove these squatiers, the chief ignificantly said: ‘The government, accord- ing to its treaty made with us, should have done so long ago, but it has so far failed. Sull we are living in hopes that the author- ities will soon take action.”” “Is there any danger of a clash between the Indians and the squatters in case the government does not act?” “I do not like to make threat chief's reply, “but it is not safe to tritle with the Cherokees in the matter.

The playing rules of base ball monopolized the time of Presidents Brush and Von der Ahe all yesterday afternoon at Cincinnati, | and the special session of the ieague’s com- | mittee will continue through today. Thus | far there have been no suggestions officially voiced. A. J. Reach of the Philadelphia | club was abseni, but he sent his ideas. He believes in penalizing the bunt. Von der Ahe thinks that the sacrifice has outlived its usefulness, and would welcome a rule that would eliminate the play from | the game. “I would like,” he said, “to have | some of those who are in favor of the abo- lition of the sacrifice hit frame some rule that will clearly define the play.” He fur- ther said that the sacrifice hit was respon- sible for a decline in base running. President Brush of the Cincinnati club said: “I lke the bunt, but as a compro- mise I might favor the penalizing of the play and call strikes where failures re- artists a chance to show their skill.” The profane players are to be taken in hand. The rules give the umpire control of such offenders, but that official rarely exercises his might. “There are only a few | players who offend,” said President Brush, “and I think they can be taught that they |cannot lorger injure the sport and disgust the patrons of the game. i Manager Hanlon of the Baltimore club | earnestly advocates changes in the playMg | rules. In a letter to President Brush of | |the Cincinnati club Hanlon says he wants |to see the bunt abolished, especially when there are men on bases, as it destroys the interest in the game. President Powers of the Eastern League issued the following circular, under date of February 3: President N. E. Young of the national board has notified me that the Baltimore | club has depcsited in his hands $500, and selected Frank Borner, under reservation |and contract to the Wilkesbarre club. As |the selection was made prior to February |1, and according to the national agreement. |the Baltimore club is entitled to Bonne | services on his signing a contract with the | Baltimore club. The following Eastern League contracts have been approved: With Erie—James Field. ilkesbarre—A. Lezotte and George With W! Meakin. The Buffalo club has claimed the services of Charlies Hamburg and A. Egan. Should the deal which ts now on be con- | ; summated, and that is quite probable, there | will be a change in the presidency of the Loulsville Base Ball Club soon, For a week |Past negotiations have been pending be- | tween the officials of the club and Larry Gotto for the sale of stock to the latter. Gotto was for many years a director of the club. Tt has been understood that he has been offered a big block of the stock and the presidency along with it. Ted Sullivan of the Atlanta Rase Rall Club signed these Cincinnati players for jhis team: Mike Rvan. Fadie Ashenbach, Joe Rurke and “Shane” Kassenger. Pitcher George Sharrott is the latest Brooklyn nlaver to sien a contract. Shar- rott saw Foutz yesterday and made satis- | factory terms. The Cleveland cluh have forwarded con- tracts to Zimmer, Childs. Burkett, McKean, Virtue, Young and Clarkson. Secretary 7 Howard Robison says that if Rurkett wishes his release he has not stated the fact to anv officer of the club. A Wheeling dispatch savs that Glasscock has siened a contract with the Pittshure club. Glasscock states that Rurkett Is anx- fons to cet away from Cleveland, and he thinks Rurkett’s chences of being sold to New Vork are first clase. x-Manager Harry Wricht sald yesterday that he had not as vet slened to manave the St. Louis team. but that he wonld prob- ably talk the matter over with Prestaent Von der Ahe at the coming league meeting. The necotiations for Danny Richardeon were renewed vesterfay at Rronklvn he- tween President Parnie and President Rvrne. Barnie finally left for Elmira to Interview Richardson.

The unfortunate man had been missing for | a week, and was last seen intoxicated in| Georgetown. Coroner Woodward, after | viewing and examining the body, concluded that the man had fallen or jumped into the canal, and gave permission for the removal of the body to the arsenal. Se For Colored Athletes. A number of young men, members of the Y. M. C. A. (.C.), 1607 11th street north-| west, met in the gymnasium Saturday even-| ing for the purpose of organizing an athletic | department of the association. Mr. Jackson | of the High School was elected chairman and W. H. Jenkins secretary. The follow- ing committee on rules and apparatus was appointed: Messrs, Smith, Rector, Jenkins, Jackson and Joiner. It was decided to have a general meeting of all young men inter- ested in athletic sports on Wednesday, Feb- ruary 7, at 7:30 p.m. ae Secking Protection From Armenians. A petition in regard to the Armenian question, issued by a committee organized in New York, and addressed to the Presi dent, has been sent to various cities in the United States to receive signatures. ‘he petition asks the President to use his kind offices with the Sultan of Turkey, to the end that the grievances of the Armenians be remedied. To secure protection for the lives, honor and property of Armenians, the petition affirms, three reforms are ab- solutely necessary: (.) The governor must not be a Moham- | medan. If he cannot be an Armenian, let | him be a European or an American, 2.) The governor must have power to or. | ganize courts of law in which Christians shall be on an equal footing with Moham- medans. G.) Guarantees must be given that et least a part of the revenue collected in Armenia shall be spent in Armenia, in ef- fecting the aforesaid and other reforms, > The Shea Pardon, To the Editor of The Evening Star: As a citizen I desire to express my obll- gations to you for your manly criticism and rebuke of President Cleveland’s action in extending pardon to John Shea. I do not often find occasion to praise the press for calling a “spade a spade.” No viler place exists in Cherry or Baxter street, New York, than has been presided over by the Shea family for many years. All decent people shun the locality. A lower depth in moral debasement can hardly be reached than the yawning gulf of Willow Tree al- ley. The recent act of President Cleveland in obstructing the course of justice in Shea's case was a crime against civiliza- tion and fastens a stain on his official term that history will never efface.
