Amendments as to Projecting Signs, Awnings and Hitching Posts. By an official order of the Commissioners late this afternoon section 3, article 8 of the police regulations, has been amended to provide that no person shall, without pre- vious lawful permit, construct, excavate, place or leave, or cause to be constructed, excavated, placed or left, in or upon any public space any obstru@ion to travel, or place, leave, or cause to be placed or left thereon any deposit which may be danger- ous to life or limb. Projecting Signs. No structure to be used as a sign or ad- vertisement of any sort skall be built, plac- ed, erected or hung upon, or from, the roof or outer wall of any building without a permit therefor be first issued by the in- spector of buildings. Nor shall any such sign or advertisement, so say the Com- missioners, project more than three feet six inches beyond the building line. No portion of any sign projecting beyond the front building line shall be less than eight feet above the surface of the side- walk nor less than fourteen feet projecting from an alley wall. It is provided that the restrictions as to height and distance shall not apply to signs securely attached to and wholly in contact with the building wall. Any sign now erected on the top of or on the outer wall of any building, or attached to a projection thereto, shall be removed when rotten or unsafe or when ordered to be removed by the inspector of buildings. The Commissioners further order that no lamp post, pole, hitching post, carriage blocks or other authorized structure on the sidewalk or roadway shall be painted, ornamented or lettered as a sign or ad- vertisement. As to Awnings. ‘The order also provides that awnings be- yond the building line, no part of which is less than eight feet above the sidewalk, may be erected under permits issued by the building inspector. Posts and frames of awnings shall be of iron; the frame must be securely attached to the building; the posts shall be set in iron or stone blocks, and the posts of sidewalks shall not be more than eighteen inches from the outer edge of the curb. In no case shall awnings now or here- after erected interfere with street lamps or trees. ‘Temporary covered ways across slide- walks and parkings, it is included in the order, may be permitted by the superin- tendent of police. Such covered ways shall afford a free passage of at least six feet in width along the middle of the pavement. Carriage posts, hitching posts along the inner edge of the curb; hitching rings in the curb or in iron or stone blocks next to the curb; clocks for keeping time, and lamps showing white light may be placed or erected on or over the sidewalks ac- cording to regulations of the engineer de- partment, and under permits issued at the permit office, the fee for which in each case shall be $1. Carriage blocks shall not exceed in dimensions thirty inches by fif- teen inches, by eight inches in height, and shall not extend beyond the inner line of the curb. ————E THE CASE OF TAYLOR. The President Has All the Papers and May Soon Take Action. Recorder Taylor was at the White House today and had an interview with Private Secretary Thurber, the subject of which was not disclosed. Mr. Thurber is quoted as having said that no action whatever will be taken in the case of Taylor in the ab- sence of the President. The President has received the report of the civil service commission recommending the dismissal of Recorder Taylor for levying political as- sessments in violation of ‘the civil service law, and is said to be fully informed of the matters developed in the Chase libel case. Consequently he may be prepared to act in the matter soon after his return from his ducking expedition, CONFERENCE ENDED Close of the Great Methodist Gath- ering in Baltimore. APPOINTMENTS FOR THE NEW YEAR Dr. Naylor Not Restored to His Old Place. FIGHTING FOR REFORMS Correspondence of The Evening Starr BALTIMORE, March 13.—After establish- ing a record as one of the most interesting of Methodist gatherings in this vicinity, the one hundred arid eleventh session of: the -Baltimore conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church came to its latter end last night with the reading of the appoint- ments. The list—always interesting—con- tained only one surprise, and that of a minor sort—the younger element in the con- ference being severely critical ‘of the as- signment of Edward Hayes to Union Grove. They regard Mr. Hayes as one of the ablest of their number and had hoped for him one of the higher grade appointments. Dr. Naylor’s friends were very much dis- appointed at his reappointment to the South Baltimore station; to them it seemed as though Bishop Andrews could hardly do ctherwise than undo the action which Bishop Fowler took a year ago, but during the last ‘ew hours of the conference it was generally understood that the bishop, after giving the matter full consideration, de- cided that there would be at least the ap- pearance of a non-existing antagonism to Bishop Fowler should he restore Dr. Nay- lor to the office of presiding elder. It may be stated upon good authority that strenuous efforts have been made by prcminent churches in some of the north- ern conferences to secure the transfer of Dr. Naylor, but he has steadily declined all offers, preferring, it is said, to continue Pis association with the historic Baltimore conference. So far as appointments in Washington Were concerned, the announcements by the bishop could hardly be regarded as news, for they had all been published in last Monday’s Star, somewhat to the sur- prise of the reticent few who imagined the facts to be securely hidden within them- ‘selves. A Fight for Reforms. ° Ministers and others who were without knowledge as to the reasons which im- pelled the Rev. G. C. Bacon to secure rec- ognition from the presiding bishop yester- day—many times unsuccessfully—may have wondered both at Mr. Bacon’s persistency and at the almost continuous inability of the chairman to see him when he attempt- ed to tell the conference the something he had on his mind. It is just possible that the church authorities were not enthusi- astic as to the resolutions which Mr. Bacon had framed, and would, if such a ‘hing was possible, have discouraged the earnest young man from Hagerstown. But Mr. Bacon is of that human variety not easily daunted. He was very much in earnest, and although he narrowly es- caped being shut off by adjournment, he nevertheless succeeded in obtaining a hear- ing and in introducing resolutions which declared: 1, “That we favor the admission cf lay- men to the annual conference, in such pro- pertion as shall hereafter ‘be determined. 2. “That we favor the election of pre- siding elders by the annual conference. 3. “That we favor giving co-ordinate es to the presiding elders in the cabi- et Introduced earlier. in the conference pro- ceedings, those resolutions would almost certainly have started a debate that might still be going, but at such time it was im- possible to give them more of attention than the appointment of a committee in- structed to report at the next session of the conference. Then there was trouble over the commit- tee, and the friends of the resolutions felt quite sure that an effort would be made, by those whose privileges the resolutions are framed to abridge, to shape the com- mittee so as to bring forth an adverse re- port. The struggle was a deeply interest- ing one, and in no part more so than when the Rev. M. F. B. Rice of this city was do- ing his best to nominate for membership on that committee Dr. Job A. Price. For a while it seemed as though Mr. Rice’s nomi- nation of one who was known to be a champion of the ideas upon which the resolutions were based would fail for lack of recognition from the chair. Finally when comparative silence pre- vailed, Mr. Rice, who had been standing for some time, once more addressed the chair, and in an unmistakably sarcastic manner, said: “Bishop, may I nominate Dr. Price?” The inflection went right home, the nomination was accepted, the great crowd on the floor and in the gal- leries applauded tremendously, but there was no smile on the bishop’s face. The committee as at present constituted will surely present a strong report in support of the resofution, and with that will com- mence a movement that may end in reduc- tion of what are now known as episcepal prerogatives.

Today’s weather conditions favor a con- tinuance of the present disagreeable state of things. The country generally is sub- Jected to very severe rain and snow. The small low area which was yesterday noted in northern Texas, without any precipéta- tion, has moved eastward to northern Louisiana, and is now the nucleus for a rain area extending along the entire gulf coast and covering most of the southern Atlantic territory. There is also a storm area in the region west of the Mississippi, ac- ecmpanied by a cold wave of small dimen- sions in the region of St. Paul, but there is an area of very high barometer coming in from the Canadian border north of Mon- tana that will doubtless lead to better con- ditions later in. the week. The general forecast for today, issued at § a.m, is as follows: “Cloudy weather and rain continue east of the Mississippi and in the southwest, and light snows are reported from the up- per lake region, and thence westward to the central Rocky Mountain districts. The barometer has fallen east of the Mississip- pi, and it has risea rapidly to the west of it. ‘A depression of moderate energy is central in the lower Mississippl valley, attended by heavy rains. .The area of high pressure continues central, north of Montana, at- tended by a decided cold wave, the temper- ature having fallen from 10 to 20 degrees to the northwest and central Rocky Mountain districts, but it is generally warmer this morning east of the Mississippi. “General rains are indicated in the south- ern, middle and New England states today or tonight, followed by clearing weather and a cold wave in the central valleys Thursday. The cold wave will probably reach the Atlantic coast Thursday evening or night. The following heavy precipita- ticn was reported: Augusta, 1.14 inches; Savannah, 2.08; Memphis, 1.56.” The following local records were made since the last map: Barometric pressure, 30.08, a fall of 8 points in twelve hours; temperature, 42 degrees, a rise of 10 de- grees in twenty-four hours, with a min- imum of 38 degrees in the past twelve hours; light winds and a trace of rain. Forecast Till 8 p.m. Thursday. For the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, threatening weather and rain, followed by clearing weather Thurs- day afternoon; slightly warmer Thursday mcrning; much colder Thursday night and probably a cold wave; southeasterly winds, shifting to northwesterly.

Although it has been a most severe win- ter, there has been less complaint than usual of suffering among the Indians. Usually there have been seyeral tribes where especial effort has been made to frevent them from starving and freezing to death. Sometimes spegial appropria- tions have. been passed to meet such emer- gencies, but during the present winter the Indian office has begn able out of its gen- eral fund to care for different cases where rations have been short and suffering among the Indians was more than usually severe. + 0+—____.

ONE KILLED AND ANOTDER BADLY HORT Police Guard St. Paul’s Church at Omaha. FIGHT WITH BANK ROBBERS CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., March 13.—The whole Cripple Creek district is excited over a lively runniag fight last night between an officer and a number of miners and for- mer railroad men, in which one man was killed and another badly injured. Consta- ble Frank Luepton had arrested a man named McQuade at Victor for participa- tion in the railroad strikes last summer. A number of his companions objected, and in the melee one man, Seth Walston, was shot through the cheek. The officer finally got Walston and Mc- Quade tefore a justice of the peace, where both were put under $200 bonds, which they refused to give. Luepton placed his pris- oners on a train to bring them to Cripple Creek, but friends of the men covered the engineer with guns, preventing the train’s departure. When the constable approached the loco- motive the engineer jumped off and ran. Finally the train was started, but after going a mile was stopped ostensibly to let off passengers. Patrick Looney and a couple of other men attempted to enter the rear car where Leupton and his offi- cers were. Leupton grappled with Looney, and as he was losing ground pulled a gun and fired. Looney was instantly killed. The prisoners were finally landed in jail here without further incident, but further trouble is expected. POLICE GUARD THE-~-CHURCH. No Further Attack on Karminski at Omaha. OMAHA, Neb., March 13.—All night long a battalion of police guarded St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church to prevent another battle between factions of the Polish con- gregation. A report had been circulated that the Poles of South Omaha were going to Sheeley Station to capture the church, and that they would be assisted by some Poles from Council Bluffs and the attack- ing party of yesterday. Excitement ran high, and the followers of Priest Karminski flocked to the church heavily armed with revolvers and shot- guns. Sentinels were stationed at the rear of the church on the inside, and swore to hold possession of the church as long as they nad life enough in their bodies to make a resistance. But the anticipated at- tack did not materialize. ‘The men stationed in the church, as the hcurs rolled by and no signs of the at- tacking party was seen, began feeling more cheerful and secure, and frequent trips were made to the neighboring saloons. As the spirits went down so rose the confi- dence of the party in possession that they would be able to cope successfully with any attacking party and would be able to retain the advantage which they had been, successful in holding yesterday. FIGHT WITH BURGLARS. a Bank at Roanoke, Ind. FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 13.—Burglars entered the bank of Waltemath & Son, at Roanoke, fourteen miles southwest of this city, early this morning and blew the safe door open with dynamite. The noise of the explosion brought a night watchman and some citizens to the scene and a fierce fight with revolvers ensued. A number of shots were exchanged, but so far as learned no one was injured. The would-be burglars escaped without securing any booty. KILLED ANOTHER ITALIAN. A Mob Breaks Into the Walsenburg, Col., Jail. CUCHARA JUNCTION, Col., March 13.— A mob entered the Walsenburg jail early today‘and killed ene more of the Italians charged with the murder of A. J. Dixon. Of the nine Italians arrested for the mur- der of A. J. Dixon, four were exonerated at the coroner’s inquest, and discharged. Five were held for trial and ordered com- mitted to jail. These were the ones killed. ‘The driver of the wagon in which the pris- oners were being taken to jail was also accidentaliy killed, making the total num- ber of fatalities six. ‘The town of Walsenburg is now quiet. They Broke In —— DETAINED THE STRANGER. A Vessel That Refused British A\ thorities Information. LONDON, March 13.—A steamship with two smokestacks arrived at Gravesend yes- terday and refused information as to her destination. In consequence the govern- ment ordered the British ship Bustard, a small coast defense gunboat, carrying one gun, stationed at Sheerness, to proceed to Gravesend and take charge of the strange steamer. This was done and a guard was placed on board of her. From the fact that a Japanese officer was found on board the steamship it is presumed that the cap- tured vessel is ejther a Japanese ship or else a steamer chartered by the Japanese government. Foreign Misapprehension. LONDON, March 13.—This afternoon’s Westminster Gazette, referring to the com- ment .which the Daily News printed this morning in regard to the rioting at New Orleans, says: ad “The Daily News, in its comments, ig- nores an important factor—the interesting feature of the black man as a blackleg. When the color question is crossed by a labor war, it becomes complicated. We do not excuse the action of the whites, but we cannot class the affair in the average run of lynching horrors.” The News’ comment was as follows: “Negroes. are being lynched in bulk in New Orleans. If it were not for the look of the thing, they might as well return to their ancestral seats in Dahomey. New Orleans is a more respectable address than Dahomey, but the customs of the two lo- calities are much the same.” Gen. Reyes Occupies Cucuta. COLON, Colombia, March 13.—The latest news from the front is that the rebels have retreated and that Gen. Royes, commander of the Colombian forces, has occupied Cu- cuta, in the province of Pamplona, with 7,000 men. A detachment of 1,000 troops is expected to arrive shortly at Panama from the department of Cauca. Martial law has been declared in the de- partment of Panama. Germany and Argentina. BERLIN, March 13.—In the reichstag to- day Herr Von Heyl Zu Herrnsheim, na- tional HMberal, introduced a motion de- manding that Germany withdraw from the commercial treaty with the Argentine Re- public. He justified his proposal on the ground that Argentine wheat should be subjected to a higher rate of duty, and said that if the Argentine Republic made reprisals Germany should place difficulty in the way of importing Argentine wool. Put in the Pantheon. PARIS, March 13.—The remains of Victor Hugo were placed in the pantheon today. Hugo died May 22, 1885. Prof. Huxley's Hiness, LONDON, Murch 18.—Prof. Huxley, the scientist, is suffering seriously from in- fluenza. —_——~—.__. The Deadlock in Delaware.
