PHLUGRANS 10 THE SPAR, WILL TAKE ACTION AT LAST. Great Britain to Enforce the Rules of the Paris Trib 1. LONDON, March 28.—The attorney gen- eral, Sir Charles Russell, will introduce in- to the house of commons tomorrow a. bill providing for the proper enforcement of the Bering sea arbitrator's regulations, There 1s no question of a new modus vivendi, and it is understood that the bill will not be opposed. Ambassador Bayard has been pressing upon the attention of the British foreign office the necessity of speedy action upon the proposition to replace the existing modus vivendi relative to the seal fisheries by one on broader lines to conform more closely to the decision of the arbitrators. There is reason to believe that Siz Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador here, will soon receive authority to consummate such an agreement, by which the small differences between the two pasties to the treaty, respecting the extent of the closed zone, will be adjusted on the basis of the 42d parallel. This would make it impossi- ble for sealing vessels to lawfully take seals anywhere in the Pacific north of ,the boundary between California and Oregon after May 1. Secretary Herbert said this afternoon that the Bering sea fleet this season will consist of the following twelve vessels: Mohican, Yorktown, Alert, Bennington, Ranger, Adams, Concord, Petrel, Alba- tross, Corwin, Bear and Rus! SORE RRS FALSE AND IGNORANT. Stories Cabled From Rio Janeiro Re- garding Peixoto. (Copyrighted, 1894, by the Associated Press.) RIO DE JANEIRO, March 28.—The for- eign office authorizes the Associated Press to deny that the government of President Peixoto has revived the imperial decrees of 1838 and 1851, allowing the execution, with- out trial, of persons who have taken part in a rebellion against the government, or who have aided and abetted persons en- gaged in rebellion. The stories cabled to the United States announcing the revival of these obnoxious decrees are either gross fabrications or else inexcusable blunders. The decree of March 2, as previously cabled to the Associated Press, makes ail persons accused of treason liable to trial by military law. The decree of March 13 orders the police to shoot upon the spot persons who are caught plundering during a combat. No other decrees have been issued bear- ing upon the subject by the government of President Pejxoto. The deaths from yellow fever now aver- age seventy per day. aed TRAGEDY AT CHICAGO.

A Mild Sort of Panic on the Chicago *Change. CHICAGO, March 28.—Wheat jumped 3 cents today on the prospects of a cold wave. With a wild rush to cover among the shorts and with the trading broad and the pit a scene of wild activity, prices went up like a skyrocket. The commission houses pressed all their people into service in the pit, and there was every indication that wheat had at last bounced out of the rut in which it has so long been traveling. ‘The start was mildly bullish.

That closed the deposition of Kaufman, and Mr, Stoll then read the deposition of John A. Brand, aged forty-six, and the jant- tor of the Sayre Institute. He stated that he understood that the character of the Singleton house was bad, and that he met Jim Rodes and Miss Pollard there in 1883. He believed her to then be about seventeen and understood that Rodes held improper relations with her. In fact, he did not need to be told that their relations were bad. He knew it. Once he went to the Singleton — with Rodes and saw Miss Pollard ere. The deponent said he had often taken Miss Pollard buggy riding. He would take her up first one place and then another. He was then a married man, and would take her to different places. No one ever ac- companied them on their rides. They wanted no one. He generally saw Miss Pol- ooh at Lena Singleton’s house in the even- ing. Cross-Examination. On cross-examination the deponent stated that he had formerly been a night watch- man and a farmer. He then detailed just where he had farmed. He first met Miss Pollard in the summer of 1883, when he met her at the Singleton house. He had gone there to see Lena Singleton, and when Miss Pollard saw hirn on the first visit she dodged out of his way. The next time he called she did not attempt to avoid him. She, the Singleton woman and another were the only persons present. Some woman introduced him to Miss Poll- are there, but who she was he did not know. He understood that Mi: ollard was at the time attending school. He had met the strange woman two years before. She was a marrie? woman. All Mixed Up. The deponent at first stated that he did rot wish to give the name of the woman, because he did not wish to give her away, as she was married and did not live in Lex- ington. He later stated that he did not know her name, and that he met her in 1891, Instead of 1881, explaining that he was “all mixed up.” He met her last at a hotel in Cincinnati in 1891, and then explained that he did meet her first in 1881 at a house in Cincinnati, and then met her at the Sin- gleton house in 1! The Disputed Letter. The text of the letter which Miss Pollard Pronounced a forgery and which has been the subject of expert testimony is as fol- low: WESLEYAN COLLEGE, July 20, 1884. Dear Col. Breckinridge: Your letter came to me Saturday. I am glad you told me it would be inconvenient to come out here to the college, for if you had gone to even such a little trouble to listen to what sometimes overburdens a school girl's mind you might be inclined to be provoked with yourself. A preacher's opinion of my little affair of mine would cause premature gray hairs, when your opinion might clear away all doubts and fears and let me be quite free-hearted again. 1 think 1 have pre- pared you for a divorce case, but listen: It is worse than that. If a certain person would advance funds for my tuition here at school for three years under the prom- of that time, could he do anything if I would not marry him, but teach and re- fund all he had advanced? I know you think, why the deception? But on no other terms will he agree. When a girl wants nothing but a good education and means to obtain such are denied her what is she to do but take the only chance she is ever likely to have? I liked your face and I am sure I would like you, and if at any future time you are in the city and would care to come around, remember that home faces are always welcome. I am, very respectfully, yours, MADELINE B. POLLARD, ee IMPROVING A HOTEL, The Mt. Vernon Hotel to Be Remodel- ed by Mr. Emerich. Mr. Clayton M. Emerich, of Emerich Bros. has purchased from Daniel H.

Rose THE CAPITOL FIRE. Supposed to Have Been Started by a Carclessly Thrown Match, The fire at the Capitol this afternoon originated in the Senate wing in a room in the north terrace, which is used ex- clusively as a deposit for waste paper and old books. It is supposed to have been oc- casioned by some one throwing a burning match into the mass of paper, as the mate- rial was all of an inflammable character. The fire burned freely and was well under way before it was discovered. It was soon extinguished, but not before the entire Senate end of the building had been filled with smoke so dense that for a few minutes all the corridors were darken- ed and it began to look as if the Senate might be compelled to adjourn because of the discomfort. The doors of the chamber were, however. closed and much of the smoke excluded. Enough of it found admission, however, to make it very disagreeable for the Sena- tors. There was at no time any danger of the fire spreading, as the building is entirely fire proof, all the fidors, walls and ceilings in that part of the building being of stone. No damage was done beyond thet occa- sioned by knocking out the lights of a few tightly closed windows in the terrace, to let the smoke out freely. ae SEER THE KEARSARGE’S END. The Old Ship Will Fly the Flag No More. The historic old warship Kearsarge, which went ashore on Roncador Reef February 2, has been destroyed by fire and water, not- withstanding the heroic efforts that have been put forth to save her. Telegrams carrying this information reached Secretary Herbert after office hours last evening, One came from the president of the Boston Tow Company, which con- tracted to save the Kearsarge, if possible, and sent the Orion to Roncador Reef with this object in view. It reads as follows: “Orion arrived at Havana today; found Kearsarge burned and broken up.” The news of the destruction of the his- toric old vessel is a subject of genuine re- gret on the part of the officials of the Navy Department. They had _ sincerely hoped that the efforts that had been under- taken to save her hull would be successful and that she would yet be serviceable as a training ship, or could be set aside for ex- hibition as a relic of her deeds in the late war. The telegrams do not indicate the cause of the burning of the vessel. The impression is that it was the work of the natives of New Providence and vicinity. The belief is that they set fire to the hull of the vessel in order to secure the brass and other metal used in its construction. Further intelligence in regard to the burn- itg 1s awaited with interest. The towboat company will secure some remuneration for the expense entailed, but the limit was fix- ed by Congress within $10,000. The Kear- sarge was built at the Portsmouth navy | | ed to the same class of vessels as the Onei- da, Tuscarora and Wachusett, and was one of the old style wooden ships of the navy. In fact, it has been rather in commemora- tion of her past glory that she has been kept in commission. It was on June 19, 1864, that she fought and conquered the Tebel ship Alabama. ———— Oklahoma Lands, A sensational story of Cherokee frauds comes from Oklahoma territory. One of the treaty stipulations made with the Cherokee Indians in connection with the opening of the Cherokee Outlet was that seventy of these Indians should have al- lotments of eighty acres each, and under the rulings of the Secretary of the Interior, they were allowed to locate these selection: Town site speculators secured title to a number of these. A company said to be composed of wealthy citizens of Winfield, Kan., secured control of a majority of them. The fact that many of the ailottees we minors presented a big difficulty. It w necessary that the titles be imme- diately secured in order that deeds might be made out. Most of the allottees lived in j the extreme eastern end of the Cherokee Outlet, known as the “Triangle Country,” which isnot judicially a part of any coun- ty. It was necessary to bring the minor allottees within the jurisdiction of a pro- bate court and Payne county was chosen as the place wherein said ailottees should acquire residence. The Indians were taken into this county and at the instance of the Speculators guardians were appointed for the children. These guardians, it is said, Were interested in the frauds. In this way the deeds were procured. Mrs. Mary Pal- mer, one of the victims, placed her case in the hands of attorneys, and their investiga- tions revealed the plot as above outlined. ——__e Heavy Snows. The weather bureau in its weekly snow chart issue say: North Dakota and portions of northern Minnesota are now covered with nearly a foot of snow, and over portions of the upper Michigan peninsula more than a foot and a half is reported. While the southern limit of area covered extends southward into Ohio and western Penn- sylvania there is but little snow on the ground eastward of lower Michigan, the greatest depth over the region named being three inches at Pittsburg. The last decade of March, 1894, has been | characterized by the most remarkable tem- perature, extremes occurring in| March that have not been recorded since the es- tablishment of the weather bureau. Within six days over a large portion of the coun- try east of the Rocky mountains both the | highest and lowest temperatures yet ob- served during March have been reported. ———_—__.— Local Pensions Granted.

Constable William Swinburne was given a writ to serve on a female resident of Ana- costia a few weeks ago, and when he reach- ed the field in which the animal was eating grass he found a long rope attached to its neck. The cow showed no signs of fight and so the little man, armed with the necessary legal documents, proceeded to lead the animal to the road. But before the gate was reached the constable found a woman also attached to the rope. He could have managed the cow, but the wo- man was too much for him, and he return- ed home empty handed. This story was related in the Police Court this morning in defense of the constable who was charged with having assaulted Miss Clara Collins. She lives at 523 10th street southwest, where the constable mad= an attempt to serve a summons on her mother. Mrs. Collins was not at home, so the daughters said, and the prosecuting witness claimed that when the constable appeared at her house, Good Friday night, he rush2d and struck her. “I heard Clara scream murder,” said the young woman's sister, “and when I saw the man I thought he was ‘Jack the Ripper.’ ” Another sister also gave evidence. Constable Swinburne told the court that he had never struck a woman in his life, and that he might have walked against her when he entered the house. Judge Miller was satisfied that there was an attempt to evade the service of the sum- mons and the charge against the constable was dismissed. yard, New Hampshire, in 1861, and belong- | A RESIGNATION.

Many mai! robberies, detectives who can- | | mot find the thieves, and hundreds of anery correspondents whose money has gone astray, have been making life miserable ior certain venders of patent medicines and | cosmetics at South Bend, In4. More than $10,000 is said to have disap- | peared in some mysterious way from the | letters sent to South Bend, and notwith- standing the efforts of the post office i: spectors, the leak has not been discovered. Most of the money has been taken from let- ters addressed to a patent medicine con- cern.

Hoke Napier, a well-known lum- berman, was walking along the street, w! he was overtaken by Henry Collins, a for- mer employe of his, who had been discharg- | ed about a month ago. Collins, with an cath, demanded a settiement of their difti- | culties, and at the same time drawing a revolver, Napier also drew his revolver, | and both men fired at the same instant. Collins was hit under the right arm and died instantly, the ball from ins’ re- volver taking effect in Napier's abdomen, and he lived only a few hours.

Howard Gould admitted yesterday that his marriage to Odette Tyler, the ac- tress, will soon take place. Miss Tyler has not appeared in thé cast | of “The Giri I Left Behind Me” since the | first reports of her engagement to the young millionaire, but although she pleaded illness as her excuse to Manager Charles Frohman she has been seen about town frequently since then with Mr. Gould. Miss Tyler's contract with Mr. Frohman expires in June, and she has notified him that she will not renew it. The marked attention paid by Mr. Gould to Miss Tyler has been a subject of much gossip among the associates of the actress for a long time. They first met ten,years | ago in the northwest, when Miss Tyler was playing in one of the Frohman produc- tions, and Mr. Gould was looking after some of the family investments. During the second tour ef “The Girl I Left Behind Me” young Gould showed up with remark- able regularity in the various cities visited by the company. Some weeks ago, in Bai- timore, he made a present to the actress of a valuable ruby ring, and more recently andsome brougham and Well-matched team. Miss Tyler's real name is Bessie Kirkland. She was born in Tennessee. She is a dauzh- ter of Gen. Kirkland and a niece of Gen. Hardee. She has been on the stage for seven years. About five years ago she mar- ried N. P. Crissman, a young banker, but they quarreled, and he sold his seat in the Stock Exchange, gave her the $40,000 Tee ceipt, and aliowed her to get_a divorce from him in New Jersey. Miss Tyler is said to be a couple of years older than Howaré Gould. eee GIMLETS AS FIRE ESCAPES.
