Arkansas Hot Springs.

Washington Special to Chicago Times.
Some time ago the court of claims had
before it the question Of the title of the hot
springs Of Arkansas. This court decided
that the title lay in the United States. Fol-
lowing this decision came a motion to ap-
point receiver. There was no end of
applicants for the position, as it was con-
sidered fat one. The property is very
valuable, and good active receiver it was
thought, would be able to pick up enough
in short time to keep him from want.
The case was appealed, however, from the
court of claims to the snpreme court, and
today the court of claims decided that it
would not entertain any motion to appoint
a receiver until the appeal case in the su-
preme court is decided. This has occa-
stoned no end Of wrath among: the impe-
curious Office ce-seekers, who have been bor-
rowing money on the strength ofsecuring
the appointment. 49,. ..-se... X

for the release of ex Treasurer Parker. APP
plication was heard at D. H. before Judge
Mackey, Parker's counsel claiming bis dis
charge under the provision of the constitution
prohibiting Imprisonment for debt. The Sher-
III 5 return failed to alege that the case was
one of fraud, charge which is expressly ex-
cepted In the constitutional prohibition of i'm
prlsonment for debt, aud, after argument, The
Judge released the prisoner The court room
was filled with an excited crowd, and Parker
was immediately rearresed on crmina! war

an examination, aud urging that the amount
involved in the alleged robbery had nothing to
do with the amount Of bail, succeeded 10
getting him released on two thousand dollars
bail. 1t is generally believed that Parker will
escape and forfeit bail. The News and Courier
denounces the release of Parker as gross,

State officials who feared that Parker would
