AN OLD CASE AS A PRECEDENT.
How catesby Ap Roger Jones' Account
was Audited.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--As pertinenh
TO the claim set up by the accounting OF.
ficers Of the treasury Of power to review
and disaIlow expenditures incurred un-
der authority OF department heads, It WIZ
be Interesting 10 recall a decision OF the
Supreme Court OF the United States In the
case OF Lieut.. Catesby Ap Roger Jones,
u, ). ~, made thirty years ago. Lieut..
Jones was In Paris In 1868 at the time OF
the lciNi cOmmOtiOns, and received ac-
oidentahy severe wound. He was in
Paris on public service at the time.
and by order OF the Secretary of
the Navy was allowed in settle
meDt 3 Of bis accounts $1,000 expend-
ed for medicines and medical attend
ance, on account OF his wound. The ac-
ton OF the Secretary was also approved
by the President, but when the accOunE
came before the Fourth Auditor OF the
Treasury he refused 10 allow II. The at
tentiOn OF the Fourth Auditor was
directed % the fact that CYe Attorneys
General, including such eminent legal
lights as Roger Is. Taney, keverdy john
son aud John j. Crittenden, had decided
IN cases Involving the same principle that
tte order OF the Navy Department was
.c6hclusiye on the accounting officers. BuE
the Fourth Auditor was intexible, and
the case was carried TO the courts by
Lieut.. j Jones. finally reaching the Supreme
Court OF the United states, which decided
In his favor. While It may be true that the
Attorney General OF to-day 10 not Obliged
tO respect the opinions OF any of hts pre-
decessors, and while these opinions may
not be binding on the accounting officers.
tits contended that the animus Of any de-
cislOn Of the Supreme Court which has
never been reversed must be respected.
The account OF surgeon Billings, Of the
United states army, which has just been
disallowed by the accounting officers, it
is contended, Is fully covered by the de-
cision in the Jones case. IL will not be
denied that n rigid surveillance OF al,
items OF expenditure IL properly within
the jurisdiction OF the accounting officers
OF the treasury. but Il 10 just possible that
too much zeal may cause an injudicicus
and indefensible economy, and perhaps In
instances thwart the very purposes for
which appropriations were created.

IRISH LIBERTY.
An Appeal for Contributions to the Par.
liAmontary Fund.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.--Eugene Kelly
presided at meeting OF the Executive
Committee OF the Irish Parliament Fund
Association in the Hoffman house TO-
night. The following address was pre-
sented by Morgan j. O'Brien on behalf OF
the committee, and was unanimously
adopted;
To the Citizens Of the United StdteS--
The great struggle in which the Irish
people and the splendid leadership Of
John Stewart Parnell are engaged for free
government claims, and is deserving Of
the active sympathy and encouragement
OF all lovers Of justice and constitutional
government, of whatever race or creed.
Ireland demands home rule, which has
been accorded 10 Canada and Australia,
and is aptly defined as, "The government
OF Ireland, In accordance with the con-
stitutiOnally expressed will OF the ma
jority OF the people carried into effect by "a
parliament and ministry directly and
solely responsible 10 that people,"
THE NEED FOR AID.
In support of his demand, which even
Mr.. Gladstone admits to be worthy OF
consideration, Ireland presents as her
representatives In Parliament the best
men that ireland can produce In intellect,
of marked ability and resolution. The
members OF Parliament recdive no salary,
and as many of the Irish representatives,
though gifted and eloquent, are unable 10
bear the expense OF attendance upon Par
lament and residence in London this
appeal is made in order 20 aid them In
their contention for a righteOuse cause,
for which prompt and generous assist
ance is necessary.
NO NEED OF EXCUSE.
TO the citizens of this republic, or in
deed to any person living within the wide
limits of the English-speaking world,
happy in civil and religious liberty, and
familiar with the benefcent influences Of
free institutions, no excuse for this APP
peal Is necessary. To Americans es-
pecially the question OF representation
and self-govornment is important, as i'm
volving not only the unalienaDle rights OF
free men, but the vindlcation OF the prin-
ciple, "No taxation without representa-
tlOn," for which the iorefathers of the
republic fought successfully against
Great Britain.
WHAT WILL BE ACHIEVED.
BY full representation IN Parliament,
supported by American munifcence, a
final solution can be had of the funda-
mental question underlying all the Irish
national discomfort, and an end forever
made OF the irrepresslble conflict that has
for centuries attracted universal atten-
tion. The steadiast friends and advocates
of irish nationality have fully resolved TO
measure and keep a record OF their pro-
testations by the practical results Of in
dividual answers to this appeal.
The time is ripe. The crisis impending,
and appreciating these conditions, this APP
peal is made TO every liberty-loving citi-
zen OF these United States 10 join the
friends and sons OF Ireland in contribut-
ing the amount Of mouey necessary to
certain success"
Ten thousand dollars have been raised
already by this committee. A committee
has been appointed to arrange for a mass
meeting.

,tve Fight, and Success Expected-A
,sttsr from a Dutch Holder of OOnfed-

1iIl have the amended Lowell bankruptcy

RIELs HAnF-BREED BROTHERS
Indieatioos that an UprisinG May Occur
In the Spring.

BISMARCK, OAK, Nov. 24.-A half
breed hunter, who has arrived from the
Canadian Northwest, reports that au ex-
tremely warlike spirit exists among his
countrymen in the Northwest territory.
No sooner did the news OF Riers execu-
tion reach the Indians and halfbreed
French than q movement was lnaugu-
rated to secure aid from the American
half-breeds. At one camp an efiigy of Sir
John Macdonald was hanged before the
enraged frontiersmen, who riddled it with
bullets, cut it to shreds with knives, and
gathering the fragments, burned them to
ashes.
THE DATE OF THE UPRISING.
The huntsman now here says he does
not believe there win be trouble during
the winter, but thinks the pent-up
vengeance of the followers of Riel will
break out in the spring and create sad
havoc among the frontier soldiers, who
are considered unfriendy. He states
that the great need of half breeds IN the
execution of their plans is a leader to
take the place Of Riel, and many of them
pray for the return of Gabriel Dumont,
who exhibited so much bravery and pluck
during the recent uprising, but left after
the surrender OF Riel, and is now in
Montana.
BATTLEFoRD's MAGISTRATE.
OTTAWA, ONT, Nov. A.--It is reported
to-day that representations have been
made to the government respecting the
conduct of Stipendiary Magistrate Ro-
leau, of Battleford, which may cause a
postponement of the execution Of the In
dians sentenced to be hanged at Battle
ford on Friday next. He is reported to
have threatened that every Indian and
half-breed rebel brought before him after
the insurrection was suppressed would
be sent TO the gallows If possible. In view
of all the circumstances, and particularly
as Judge Roleau was heavy loser pecu-
niarly by the Indian outbreak at Battle
ford, 1t is contended that he should not
have been allowed to preside at the trials
of the prisoners. A memorial has been
received by the Department of Justice
asking that the matter be investigated.
AN ANTI-RIEL MEETING.
TORONTO, Nov. 24.--An anti-Riel public
meeting is talked of here as a setOff to the
inflammatory meetings being held in the
province Of Quebec.
PRIESTS OPPOSED TO THE MASSES.
MONTREAL, Nov. 24.-Many parish
priests throughout the province appear
opposed to the idea OF holding masses OF
requiem for the repose OF the soul Of Riel,
and Mgr. Mareau refused the parish priest
of Sorel permission to hold such service.
