Minister Warns Parliament of
Danger Ahead in
Europe.
IF CONCERT BREAKS UP
Both Grey and Kltimaurice Say Af
fairs Have. Reached Crisis Ac
ceptable Turk for Governor
Would Avert Trouble.
LONDON. Feb. 23. Tho Macedonia
difficulty was raised in both houses of
Parliament tonight. Sir Edward Grey,
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, made a
statement in the House of Commons on
this subject, and Lord Fltzmaurlce,
Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs,
jid likewise in the House of Lords,
the gist of both statements being that,
because of the Porte's obduracy, mat
ters had reached a critical pass; that
tiie government deprecated any Isolated
action, but was doing its utmost to
preserve the concert of powers and
press Turkey to an acceptance of the
reforms.
Sir Edward Grey said that in dis
cussing the Macedonian question the
government was not far from' the
Turkish -question, which -more than
once had led to an European war. They
were , rapidly ncaring a point, he said,
where the concert of powers must
either Justify or stultify itself, and. If
'the concert disappeared, it was impos
sible to foretell what misunderstand
ing might arise. If Macedonia contin
ued to be neglected, he added as a
note of warning, it must Booner or
later provoke a catastrophe.
Sir Edward suggested that, if a
Turkish Governor were appointed for
a term of years and he was a man
whose capacity and character were
recognized and accepted by the powers,
the whole question might be solved.

Protected in German East Africa.
HKPlLIN, Feb. 23. Colonial Secretary
Lv.rnburg, in discussing colonial .reforms
before the appropriations committee of
tin- Reichstag today, said that one of the

oppressions of the planters, who in many
instances almost paralleled the slave
. hunting methods in vogue in the Congo
Independent State. "He said that the
abuse of natives by traders In Southwest
Africa was the ultimate cause of the
recent uprising there and that If Ger
many's future was to be promoted in the
German colonies the work must be in

natives. V

AWFCIi PICTURE OF . RUSSIAN
REVOLTJTIOX'S HAVOC,
Anglican Bishop Describes Devasta

Defends Government.
LONDON, Feb. 26. Right Rev. Thomas
Edward Wilkinson, Bishop for North and
Central Europe, writes to the Daly Mail
from ' Riga, describing devastation
wrought in Russia generally, and par
ticularly In the Baltic provinces, by the
Revolutionists.
He declares that Its extent is quite un
known in England and fully Justifies the
measures of repression adopted by the
Russian government.
"It is necessary," says the bishop, "to
travel through the great provinces of
Courland, Esthonia and Livonia and see
with one's own eyes in order to measure
the full extent of reckless havoc and sav
age cruelty practiced throughout the un
happy land. The government's fault has
not been over severity, but too great a len
iency and forbearance. Unfortunately,
the work of death and destruction is not
yet at an end.
"Whatever," concludes the bishop, "may
have been the .destruction of life In the
French revolution, I doubt if the destruc-
OfficlaiH Trace Band of Cut-throats
From Sicily and 30 Are Marked
for Arrest in Several Dif
ferent localities.
DENVER, Colo., Feb. 25. In today's
developments In the murder of Father
Leo it came out that a statement vas
said to have been made by the assassin.
Gulseppe Alio, alias Guiseppe Guarnac
cio and Angelo Gabrtele, from which It
appears that Father Leo was not the
priest whom he intended to murder,
but was mistaken by him for a young
Italian priest who had been condemned
to death, by a band of anarchists who
had been exiled from Sicily.
When told by the interpreter that
the priest he had killed was a German
and had never been In Sicily and that
there was no scar on his forehead. Alio
burst Into a paroxysm of grief, and
after It passed calmly said:
"If I have killed the wrong man, I
am very sorry, but I will take the con
sequences like a man."
Alio said that his wife, who deserted
him in consequence of his attacks upon
the church, is living in Pagina, Pro
vince of Siracusa, Sicily, and her name
Is Scbastiana Alio.
Look for 30 Anarchists.
Through the efforts of Chief of Po
lice Delaney, it Is believed at least 30
anarchists In various parts of the coun
try will be placed under arrest within
a few days. In speaking of the school
of anarchists of whose movements the
Denver police have gained knowledge,
Chief Delaney said:
".We have traced Alio and his band
from stone quarries In Southern Italy
to America and have located most of
the towns where they are living. The
men ara all stoneworkers, and were
driven out of Italy two years ago.
Forty went together to Barcelona,
Spain. Here, too, they worke3 as stone
cutters, all the while teaching the dia
bolical doctrines of anarchy. They
were discovered In Spain an were
driven to Buenos Ayres. "They remained
there as long as they could, and then
decided to come to the UTSited States.
They settled, all of them, In Paterson,
and after a few days spread over the
country. j
"We have Jocated four who were de
tailed to work In Colorado. Alio is one
and the other three will probably be
placed under arrest today. We have

Did Killing on Own Account.
Meanwhile, Alio, who is kept in Jail
at Colorado Springs in order to pre
vent any attempt at lynching, vehe
mently denies that he belongs to any
anarchist body that wishes to murder
priests or that there was any plot at
the bottom of the shooting.
"I did the killing on my own account
and because I thought it would ease my
mind," he declared. "I received no orders
to kill the priest. I did it because I hate
priests of all kinds."
That Father Leo lived a life of severe
austerity is evidenced by a discovery by
the Coroner when he prepared the body
for burial. Next to the skin wrapped
about the waist and upper arms were
heavy bands of linked steel chains, and
to each link was attached a hook-eye,
everyone sharpened to a needles' point in
such a fashion that each move the priest
made caused the hooks to pierce his flesh
and remind him of the life and death of
Him In whose steps he struggled to 'fol
low. Father Leo never spoke of his 'mode
of penance even to his fellow clergy.
Father Euseblus said that no one in "the
Monastery surmised that the priest was
undergoing such unusual and severe

penance. His body and upper arms were
calloused entirely, showing that when the
pain became deadened because of the
toughened skin, he had taken the net
work of chain and adjusted them so that
the pain might come again with renewed
force.
Most of the priests of the Catholic
Church In this city believe that Father
Leo Heinrlchs, who was murdered by
Giuseppe Alio, an Italian anarchist, while
giving communion In St, Elizabeth's
Church here Sunday mornini? last, was a
marked man from the time he arrived in
town last August, or even before. The
dead priest was stationed previously in
Paterson, N. J., and it is believed he may
have incurred the enmity of the anar
chists there, and that a plot was laid to
kill him. perhaps prior to his leaving Pat
erson, but that the machinery of the
"Reds" failed to get into working order
until Alio carried out orders Sunday.
At the services in St. Elizabeth's
Church . yesterday supplication was
made on behalf of the assassin that
he might be caused to repent of his
rash deed.
This most impressive ceremony was wit
nessed by but few people. Father Percy
A. Phillips, chancellor of the Denver
Diocese, performed the solemn task,
having been delegated to do so by Bishop
Matz, who is In Los Angeles.
tairierl In the bill for divorce filed by
Hartje. The precipe of Hart.ie, filed
October 27, 1905, was also offered lit
evidence. The offerings bore on
Hartje's allegations of infidelity on the
part of his wife. A long and animated
discussion between counsel followed,
ending in the court's admitting the
documents. The deposition of Hooe, de
nying intimacy with Mrs. Hartje. but
which has never been filed in court,
was also admitted in evidence.
The defense won its first victory to
day, when the court refused to allow
the indictment for perjury against
Hooe to be placed in evidence. It was
on this Indictment that the negro was
sent to prison for seven years. The
court also admitted a statement which
Edward Hartje, a brother of the ac
cused, secured from Hooe, reflecting
on the character of Mrs. Hartje. The
testimony of Hartje's brother was
dramatic. Mrs. Hartje is expected to
testify tomorrow.
