PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANARCHISTS Latest News of the Rebellion in Brazil. ee |GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS | Paar nee PRAGUE, Hungary, Feb. 21.—The judg- ment of the court before which the mem bers of the Omladina Secret Society have been on trial for some time past is as fol- lows: Ziegloser is sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment; Waigert, Sticha and Hrad- et were sentenced to five years’ imprison- ment; Wenzel and Cizek received sentences | of six years’ imprisonment; Hein received a sentence of eighteen months in prison, and Holzbach was sentenced to imprison- ment for thirteen months. Two cf the ac- cused were acquitted and the remainder were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, varying from three years to a fortnight. Those receiving the heavy sentences were convicted of high treason and les? majeste and of being members of a secret society. Those who received light sentences were only convictd of disturbing the peace. PARIS, Feb. 21.—The police yesterday evening arrested twelve anarchists at the lodgings of an anarchist leader name] Du- Prat. Among those taken into custody upon this occasion was the anarchist, Bus- tard, who is supposed to be the author of yesterday's outrages, Madame Calabresi, who was so daager- ously wounded yesterday by the explosion of the bomb in the Rue St. Jacques, and the old people wounded by the same explo- sion are progressing favoraoly. LONDON, Feb. 21.—A disnatch to the Times from Vienna says: It aces not ap- pear likely that any startling revelations will be disclosed by the trial of the twelve anarchists, who are charged with conspir- ing against the life of Emperor Francis Joseph or that anything will be developed that will throw light upon the moevment in which they were engaged. The indiffe ence of the accused testifies to the fact that it is their conviction that the triumph of their ideas is approaching. The bombs found in their possession were prepared from Anarchist Johann Most's recipes, The correspondent of the Standard at Vienna says that several of the prisoners have pleaded gullty, while others have in- dignantly denied that they were Anarchists. One prisoner betrayed the fact’ that there Was an arrangement between them that ‘+ whoever of them told the real truth with regard to their intentions would be shot by | (his comrades. The correspondent of the Times at Paris says: The anarchists talk of expelling Sebastian Faure from the party for pre- serving their letters and thus enabling the police to seize them and discover their movements. ‘Ten anarchists have been arrested at Lyons. One of them had in his possession portraits of Bakounine and Ravachol, with the motto, “if you wish to prosper hang your landlord.” Ten anarchists have been arrested at Romans, in the department of Drome. Seventeen aliens have been expelled from Marseilles for speaking in advocacy of the gullotining of the bourgeois and assassina- tion of King Humbert of Italy. MR. GLADSTONE’S ATTITUDE. LONDON, Feb. 21.—Mr. Gladstone's at- titude toward the house of lords in the house of commons yesterday has caused disapopintment even to high officials in the ministerial ranks, while the radicals do not €isguise the fact that they are indignant. A cabinet council has been sumimoned for Friday, and some important movement upon the part of the government is ex- pected. : The Chronicle editorial upon yesterday's debate is causing a sensation. The union- ist papers reprint it with big headlines, and pretend to look upon it as a call for Mr. Gladstone to resign. ‘The Chronicle's special house of commons’ lobby reporter says that it is difficult to imagine a more painful performance. The Premier's voice, he asserts, was rough and broken, and even his words came with dif- ficulty. There was not a hint, he also says, which suggested that the peers were not most estimable. In conclusion, the Chronicle special re- port remarks: “It was truly a terrible send-off for a great and popular movement.” The Times says: The government have placed themseives in a ridiculous and em- barrassing position. Mr. Gladstone's fol- lowers had expected a great oratorical ef- fort trom the premier, something that would inspire them with courage and strike dismay into the trembling peers. They lis- tened, instead, to one of the feebiest speeches that Mr. Gladstone has delivered for a long time. The Chronicle calls yester- day's debate in the house a ludicrous flasco, and says it would be difficult to imagine more undignified and pointless obsequies. Mr. Gladstone's speech was totally un- worthy of the occasion, and chilled his foi- lowers to the bone. The liberal party has a right to know where it stands. If Mr. Gladstone fqels that age and infirmities press too heavily upon him for the ieader- ship of an uncomprimising crusade, for him to say so. Pee te QUIET AGAIN AT RIO. It is Expected That a Naval Engage- ment May Occur Soon, (Copyright 1894 by the Associated Press.) RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 21 —The Arma- cao batteries, which were destroyed by the insurgents in the battle of February 9, when the government lost, it now appears, over 700 men, have been restored. During the continued disability of Admiral Da Gama, owing to the wounds which he sustained in the neck and leg at the battle of Armacao, Alexandrino de Alencal has been in command while awaiting the re- turn of Admiral De Mello, who is still said to have reached here on board the Republi- ca, though considerable secrecy is observed on the subject. The rebel force is said to have been re- duced to 500 men and a number of these are more or less severely wounded. It is not believed to be possible for the rebels to undertake any further operations on land until the fleet is strongly rinforced. News from the Nictheroy is expected hourly, and concerning the rest of Presi- dent Peixoto’s fleet there are two stories in circulation. According to one report the torpedo fleet is in bad shape and there is little or no chance of a naval battle being fought be- tween the rebels and the government forces. The second story has it that the torpedo fleet is moving south in order to join the Nictheroy and that news of an important nature will shortly be heard. Reports from the south still seem to show gains for the rebels. American prestige, owing to the determin- ed action of Admiral Benham, is now very high in Brazil. Advised to Settle by the Powers. MADRID, Feb. 21.—The governments of England, France, Italy and Austria have replied to the mote addressed to them by the sultan of Morocco. They all advise him to accept the demands of Spain for the settlement of the Melilla troubles. Minister de Giers Ill. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.—M. De Giers, Russian minister of foreign affairs, is crit- ically ill. M. De Giers has been suffering for some time past from asthma and his sickness has now assumed a dangerous aspect. The Jackson-Corbett Fight. LONDON, Feb. 21—The Sportsman says it learns on the authority of a friend of one of the principals that Jackson and Cor- bett have no idea of attempting to settle their contest in the United States. They do not care to be badgered by clubs and au- thorities as was the case in the Mitchell- Corbett match. The event is almost cer- tain to be settled at the National Sporting Club, in London. Universal Suffrage Demanded. LONDON, Feb. 21.—A dispatch to the Chronicle from Vienna says: The govern- ment will today announce a new franchise bill with a view of quieting the agitation in favor of universal franchise. Bank of England Financtering. LONDON, Feb. 21.--The Standard, in its financial article. say “Adrian Pope. who formerly held large deposits in the Bank of England, lost them all in speculation. The bank allowed him to overdraw his account to the extent of £420,000. Then, after de- manding the payment of £350,000, it accept- | ed £150,000 in order to avoid Pope’s bank- ruptcy, which would have entailed a still heavier loss upon the bank.” Berlin Has Nothing for Bismarck. LONDON, Feb, 21.—A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says: The Hamburger Nachrichten has the following: While wait- ing at the railway station on Monday for the arrival of the emperor, Prince Bismarck, in reply to a question whether he was going to Berlin soon, said: “At any rate, not at present, I have nothing to do in Berlin now.” The Rioting Among the Armenia LONDON, Feb. 21—A dispatch to the Times from Constantinople says: The facts with regard to the recent rioting at Ysgat, Asiatic Turkey, are as follows: An Arme- nian who had been accused of sedition fired upon the police who were sent to arrest him. His fellow Armenians joined in the quarrel, with the result that there was a serious conflict and the police were repulsed. An inquiry into the affair has been opened, | with the object of discovering where thé blame is to be laid. ——— HOWE REJOICES. The Verdict Against Her Husband Clears Her Name. today said, regarding the verdict in the Howe-Woodruff case, which was decided against her hushand: “I am greatly pleased | with the result. The decision, which was a j Just one, not only vindicates an innocent man, but it clears my name as well. “I realize how cruel it may seem at being pleased over my husband's defeat, but he has never been my true protector, and if the public knew him as I do their criti- cism of me would not be harsh. The suit has severed me from Mr. Howe forever. o, I will not ask for a divorce, but I will ask for separate maintenance. “He made pretty violent threats to me, | which he said he would carry out if he lost the case against Mr. Woodruff, but if he dares to come to my house and shows any disposition to injure me I will be prepared to defend myself.” Howe sued Isaac O. Woodruff of New York for $50,000 for alleged alienation of his wife's affections. ———___. DISPUTING OVER A CORPSE. An Unseemly Difference About the Re- mal of a Chicago Man. CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—A sult at law may be necessary to decide who shall have pos- session of the remains of 8. Holden, who was killed in the Lasalle street tunnel Mon- day morning. Mrs. Katherine Holden, the New York widow of the dead man, gave Undertaker Sigmund an order to bury the remains. An undertaker from the North Side also presented an order at the morgue from the Chicago family. Coroner McHale said that since the members of the New | York family identified the remains he will deliver the body to them. —<>—___ HOUSTON’S TRAGEDY. Fatal Quarrel. HOUSTON, Tex., Feb. 21.—Mrs, Lizzie Morris Mitchell, wife of the young mur- durer, says that Sutton had nothing what- ever to do with their family affairs, nor had Sutton ever assisted her in any man- ner. She says Mitchell left her standing on the street in Houston on July 12 last, saying he woula return in a few minutes. He failed to return and she wrote to her mother for money with which to pay her fare home. She asks the papers to publish this much in justice to her. She also says that the cause of the feud was that last fall Mitchell asked Sutton to join him in a drink. Sutton declined the invitation, say- ing that he would not drink with any man who had treated his wife as he (Mitchell) had done. This was the origin of the feud which has terminated so tragically. ——— BUYING UP GAS PLANTS, A New York Syndicate to Control the Situation in Indiana. INDIA POLIS, Ind., Feb. 21.—Evidence tending to show that a wealthy New York syndicate intends to secure control of the natural gas product of Indiana is accu- mulating. Three years ago Baron Jerman- owaski, C. F. Deitrich and A. B. Proal of New York came here and purchased out- right the gas company and the Indianapo- lis artiticial gas company. Nine months ago the same men bought the natural and artificial gas plants at Frankfort. Leba- non and Crawfordsville, paying for the properties about $750,000, It is now an- nounced that Messrs. Jermanowaski, Deit- rich and Proal have purchased the natural and artificial gas plants at Lafayette, pay- ing for the same about $1,000,000, It is also announced that the syndicate is nego- tiating for the purchase of the natural and artificial gas plants at other cities and towns, intending to supply manufactured gas as fuel whenever the supply of natural gas shall fail. ee A WORLD'S FAIR SURPLUS. A Good Balance on the Right Side of the Ledger. CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—According to Acting Auditor Berrington, the world’s fair direc- tery will have $1,424,841.84 which can be ap- plied to a stock dividend when the expo- sition’s abilities, actual. and estimated, are deducted from the assets. The report shows that the total expenditures up to January 31, 1894, were $26,925,689.50, and the total receipts were $28,465,157.26, leav- ing a balance on the right side of the ledger of $1,539,468.06. But from this bal- ance the estimated net liabilities of $07,- 992.97 were deducted, leaving the net bai- ance, which will probably be returned to the stockholder: g DEATH OF THE PEACEMAKER. A New Jerseyman Who Tried to Stop a Duel, HACKENSACK, N. J., Feb, 21.—Emil Schmidt of Woodbridge, who two wecks ago was stabbed by John Roetcher with a butcher knife, died in the Hackensack hos- pital this morning from his wounds. John Roetcher was arrested at the time of the stabbing, and will now be held for murder. Roetcher and his brother, both of them being butchers, had a quarrel, which re- sulted in the two men fighting a duel with butcher knives. They had slashed each oth- er until both men were covered with blood. Schmidt stepped between them to act us peacemaker, when John turned upon him with tury and stabbed him several times. ee, JUDGE McDILL’S ILLNESS.

BOSTON, Feb. 21.—-There was another outbreak among the prisoners at the house of correction yesterday afternoon and last evening, which for a little time threatened serious results.

The ringleaders have been placed in solitary confinement. | BOSTON, Feb. 21.—Mrs, Ithamar Howe} [A BRIDGE HEARING The Proposition to Build One at South Capitol Street. Hearing Before the House Committee | m Commerce—Arguments Favor- img the Project. The House committee on interstate com- merce this morning granted a hearing to the South Capitol Street Bridge Associa- tion in behalf of the bridge which they pro- | Pose to erect from the foot of South Capitol | street to the southern shore of the Eastern | branch. The association was represented | by the president, Judge H. H. Blackburn; the treasurer, Mr. Geo. J. Seufferle, and the | attorney, Mr. A. D. Anderson. Among | others present were Dr. Godding, superin- tendent of the Insane Asylum, and Mr. Simon Wolf and a dozen of the members of the association. A map of the locality in question was hung on the wall to show by diagram the need of such a bridge, and a map of the District was also displayed, so outlined in blue as to demonstrate the saving in space to those frequenting the vicinity of Gies- boro’, who are now compelled to use the Anacostia bridge near the navy yard. The Needs Set Forth, This was set forth in the following state- | ment, which was presented by the officers of the association: “The approach to the bridge will be at South Capitol street and will be almost op- posite the engine house of the Insane Asy- lum. South Capitol street runs through Giesboro’ up to Nichols avenue, near Henry Holley’s gate, and taps Livingston road; then runs on Piscattaway road past James Byers’ farm, down to Cox's Landing, oppo- site Alexandria, thus shortening the drive about two miles; then another road or avenue past the United States magazine, through Cummins’ farm, to be known as Jackson avenue, near Shepherd’s Landing. The right of way has been granted for all avenues and streets. “The map also shows the improvement in straightening the channel from the arsenal to the navy yard on the Washing- ton side. From Giesboro’ Point to Pennsyl- vania avenue, taking six spans off the Ana- costia bridge, about one-half the length of the bridge, and by dredging the channel, will reclaim about 700 acres of land on both sides of the river. The distance now by road around from Glesboro’ to South Cap- {tol street is five miles. The hill from Gies- boro’ up to Nichols avenue is 120 feet high in a distance of 440 yards, and it requires three horses to haul a two-horse load. A Benefit to Health. “The bridge will also avoid the dumping of offal on South Capitol street, and thus make property more valuable and improve the health of that section of the city, and shortens the drive to the insane asylum two and three-quarter miles. “From the center of B street south at the southwest corner of the Capitol grounds by the way of Ist street to the south shore of the Eastern branch is 4,020 yards, or 1,000 yards over two miles. The disiance from the same point by way of M street south, 11th street east by the Anacostia bridge to the same point on the south shore is five miles and 1,219 yards.” The hearing began at 11 o'clock und last- ed for about fifteen minutes. The Oppo- nents and advocates of the New York bridge bill were eager to be heard and the local folks had to be brief. The Case Presented. Judge Blackburn stated that all that was desired was a preliminary survey by the government, under the direction of the Secretary of War, who has already made a favorable report to the committee, as well as the Secretary of the Navy. He then gave way to Col. Anderson, who briefly explained the maps and said that he thought it was good and obviou! public policy to allow the people a free and easy access to the national capital. The people of southern Maryland, he added, though they have a more direct vote ypon the affairs of the District than the citizens of Washington, are almost cut off from the city except by a Jong and circuitous route. The bridge then would be directly in the interest of these people, and the legisla- ture of Maryland has already passed a resolution approving the project. Dr. Godding’s Advocacy. Dr. Godding called attention to the fact that the government owns about a thousand acres within the District, opposite the city on the south shore, and that such a bridge would diminish by over a third the dis- tance between this property and the Cap- itol, The long, steep hill to the east of the asylum that now must be climbed would be saved, and this would be a great service to the people living in the country behind the institution. “I have been in that vicinity for the last sixteen years,” he said, “I know what a devious, tedious, uselessly circuitous route there is now in existence. I think it would be emimently wise and proper to allow this survey to be made.” “How far is it above the navy* yard?” asked a member. “About a mile or a mile and a half be- low,” was the reply. “Then, being below the navy yard, it would have to be a drawbridge.” “That is a part of the plan, I believe,” answered Dr. Godding. “Will it be a railroad bridge?” asked Mr. Patterson. Not «2 Railroad Bridge. “No; merely for carriages and foot pas- sengers.”” Chairman Wise wanted to know if an esti- mate had been made to show that $5,000 was necessary for the purpose of the sur- vey, and it was explained to him that only as much as would be necessary of the $5,000, was to be expended. Mr. Bartlett thought that $5,000 was entirely too much, and Mr. Simon Wolf explained that $5,000 was the customary figure mentioned in all bridge survey bills as a maximum amount. He went on to say that he had been president | of the association and that he could see no reason why such a bridge should not be built. “No one objects to it,” he said, “and every one seems to be in favor of it. The farm products from that side of the river are now sadly hampered in being brought to the city by the long and hilly route that has to be) taken.”” The hearing was then concluded and the committee listened to the voice of Gotham. ——_—_+2+___ Philosophical Inquiry. At the weekly meeting of the Society for Philosophical Inquiry on Tuesday afternoon, at the Columbian University, the president, Dr. Sterrett, opened the conference on “The | Relation of Hedonism to Pessimism,” main- taining that the latter was the practical, logical and historical outcome of the for- mer. Hedonism ts the doctrine that the/ only conceivable good in the world or out of the world, weighs the world and finds it wanting, thence reasoning to the ontological first principle, which unwisely or unwill- | ingly let the “sinister event” of the world | occur. An historical resume was given of | Schopenhaurer’s and Von Hartmann’s test-/| ing the world in the scales of hedonics and | thereby reaching a pessimistic ontology. | Prof. Peters objected to restricting the term | hedonism and brought forward Swart Mills’ | distinction of kinds of pleasure,each man to! be the judge of what is pleasing to him, and | thus of what is good. Part was taken in an animated discussion by Profs. Bigelow, Ward, Farquhar, Goy. and Mrs. Hoyt and others, and the meeting adjourned to con- tinue the conference on the same topic next Tuesday. | _—_—— Justice White's .Com: fon. ‘The President has signed the commission of Mr. Justice White and he can qualify and enter upon his judicial duties at his own converience.

A SPEAK-EASY CASE, It Fa Throukh—The Citizens Sign- ing the Informetion Not Reputable. In Judge Miller’s court this morning Prosecuting Attorney Pugh called for trial | the case of ex-Policeman Thomas J. Boyd, | against whom there was a charge of keep- ing a “speak easy.” His place is on Vir- ginia avenue southwest, where he keeps a grocery and provision store. The law re- quires that two reputable citizens shall swear to the charge, and in this particular case the names of Timothy Hanlon and John Sheehan appeared. Lawyer Shilling- ton represented the defencant, but he earned his fee without much hard work. The alleged iy pom sd citizens appeared on the stand, and swore positively that they had never purchased liquor in the place, and Sheehan even said that he had never been in the place. The excuse they gave was that Police- man Klinger had threatened to “vag” th if they did not give evidence against Boyd. Judge Miller questioned the men losely, but they adhered to their original state- ments and the judge had to take the case from the jury, as Mr. Pugh admitted that they did not fill the legal requirement “reputable citizens.” A verdict of not guilty was rendered and the defendant exonerated. Judge Miller's Remarks. After this had been done Judge Miller said he did not like to talk about such mat- ters, but he felt it his duty to say some- thing about the Nquor law against which the District is always staggering. The po- lice and the District Commissioners, the judge said, are engaged in an honest effort to enforce the law against its violators. One of the most peculiar features of the law, he said, is the requirement of two reputable citizens to-make an affidavit. If Congress meant two citizens irrespective of | the police there can never be a proper en- | forcement of the law. In the first place, citizens who drink liquor don’t want to prosecute those who sell the liquor, If the law is to be enforced as it stands at pres- ent, it is necessary for policemen to go in the place and witness the violation. Officers cannot force citizens to make affidavits. The action of the citizen must be voluntary, The judge said he could conceive of no worse provision of law than this and the | sooner it is amended the better it will be for the community. Unless officers are eye witnesses to viola- tions of the law, they are relegated to such witnesses as were produced in this case, persons afraid of being vagged. In conclusion the judge said that in cases of “speak easies,” where the lower order of humanity congregate and dring, such a thing as prosecution can never be in- stituted, for the keepers of the places are not seing to admit any one of apparent respectability as the regular customers of the place and none of them are good citi- zens. A Warrant for Perjury. | While the court was engaged in the talk on the law Sergeant Daley procured a war- rant against Hanlon and Sheehan for al- leged perjury and they were locked up. They will be given a hearing in court Fri- morning. —_—____ ALLIGATO: GROWING SCARCE. Southern Farmers Consequently Com- pla! of the Increase of Rats and Rabbi The demand for alligator skins at the north, where they are tanned and made in- to valises, pocket books, etc., has caused them to be hunted so closely that it has al- most resulted in their entire destruction, | says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, Before the demand rose for their hides the bays and bayous of Louisiana were full of the saurians, which did no particular dam- age except in catching a stray pig or cur dog, but otherwise they were not supposed to be of any value at all. With the disap- pearance of the alligator it was noticed that there was a marked increase in the number of other mischievous ‘animals; especially in the rice fields of Plaquemines parish, the muskrat increased to an extent that it was almost impossible to keep up the back lev- ees, which were built for the purpose of keeping the water on the rice during the growing season. The damage caused ty the rats burrowing through the embank- ments necessitated constant watchfulness and entailed much hard labor, either in building them entire or in digging out the burrows and filling in with solid earth. The rodents also infest the front levees, honey- combing them in every direction and ne- cessitating constant atiention to avert the disastrous consequences resulting from a crevasse. Truck farmers in the lower part of Plaquemines have also complained that since the extermination of the alligator the common rabbit, the raccoon and other wild animals have increased largely, and that the rabit especially has proved very destructive to cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce—in fact, our informant said that if these animals continued to increase he would be compelled either to erect a woven wire fence around his truck farm or abandon the culture of some of his most | Profitable vegetables. Several years since the police jury of the parish of Plaquemines Passed an ordinance forbidding the killing of the alligator, and with the increase came a corresponding decrease in the num- ber of destructive vermin. We understand that the law has since been repealed—for what reason we do not know, ——— 0+ —___ Madame Albani sang in concert at Perlin last evening and was accorded a flattering reception.
