The Chase-TownIey Estate Once More
and Finally.

Editor Phgnir! Not long since noticed
several articles in your paper concerning the
long agitated "Chsse or Townley estate in
England, and, among others, letter from
Minister Phelps, in which he denies that such
an estate exists in England. Now, as one OF
the heirs Of the Chase estate, and one OF the
two delegates from the state Of Florida to
convention Of the heirs held in st. Louis,
Mo-, l am deeply interested in whatever per
tains to said estate, and would say that the
St. Louis convention proposes to solve the
question now and forever, whether or not
such an estate does exist, and whether we, as
American heirs, have any claim thereto. Ac'
cordingly we have read with deep interest the
letter from Minister Phelps, which seems to
conflict somewhat with an act Of parliament
under date of August 4, 1885. That such an
estate lid exist, 1t seems to me there can be
no doubt, else parliament would not have TAX
en- action. / therefore enclose an article
clipped from the Toronto Herald, written by
the president Of a society formed in Toronto,
Canada, for the purpose OF solving the mat
ter, and which, with the society at st. Louis,
has copy of the act mentioned. II you
deem it proper to insert the enclosed clipping
for the benefit of the heirs in New England
and in the hope that the questions asked may
be answered by some one who knows the
facts would be very glad to have you do 80
Yours respectfully,

IL we are obliged to admit that there are
foolishly credulous people in this country
who refuse to believe authoritative statements
that there are no great estates in England
waiting for distribution to American heirs, 1t
is also true that the fools in England are not
all dead yet, and most of them are counted
among the high. quality folks" A late de-
spatch says that steps are being taken among
this class of Londoners ito secure the recog-
milton and payment of Confederate bonds by
the United States" The moving spirits in
the matter are announced to be Lord Pen
zance, Thomas G. Bruce, member of Parlia-
ment, John b. Gorst, queens counsel, and
John b. Martin and Robert Stewart, wealthy
capitalists. Two prominent New York law
yers have been retained as the American
counsel. One of these lawyers is reported as
saying that 1.-THE ground on which the United
States will be asked to pay these bonds are
mainly of constitutional character. 1t will
be commended that the forcble deprivation OF
the South of her money interest in slaves was
in oontravention Of the provisions of the
constitution. 1t is probable that counsel viii
proceed by first preparing an elaborate petit
ton and appeal to Congress, and, if thi
proves of no effect, another line of actor
will be adopted" 1t is entirely safe to sa!
that these titled Englishmen will get the mon
ey on their Confederate bonds at the SAM
time that the Chase Townley heirs get thei
share of the $500, 600, 600 estate.

The defeat Of Morrison's motion

The defeat Of Morrison motion
to take up the Tariff bill indicates
that Congress is not going to med
die with the tariff this season The
truth is that there is no popular de-
mand for change in the tariff.
The people are well satisfied with
the policy Of protection, under
which the manifold industries of
the country have thrived SO well.
There will be no general call for
a change until there is an evident
need of it. 1t is noticeable that
Morrison is supported almost ex-
clusively by Democrats. OF the
100 votes cast for his motion only
four were from Republicans.

A self Windin. Watch

Occupying a Pullman stateroom

was man named A. Hirsch, a Chi
cago dealer in jewelry He was OH
his way to Europe with his family
and exhibited to passengers on the
train very curious watch Of his
own invention, Of which he is also
the patentee. 1t is time-keeper
which requires no winding. An
arrangement something like the
nicely balanced lever Of pedome-
ter is so applied to the spring Of
the watch that the motion of the
body in walking winds the time
piece. During seven minutes of
walking the wearer Of watch
winds it so it will run forty two
hours. When wound up, the watch
sets catch automatically, to stop
the operation Of the winding lever.
The watch, MIR. Hirsch says, has
been pronounced a success In all
particulars by the Elgin Watch
Company, ana he expects to reap a
big fortune by it.-Elmira Adver-

Bon; Like 1t.

The Chronicle today prints on its
local page a report of the proceed
ings of the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee at Reno yesterday.
The only mistake made was in the
selection of tie town of EIko for
holding the State Convention. A
great many Democrats in this city
are very much displeased that such
an outofthcway place should
have been chosen. They say it
would have been all right had
Winnemucca, Wadsworth. Reno,
Carson or any other more central
place been selected, as the ordinary
workingman delegate elected to the
Convention would have had
chance to attend ii and take an
active part in its proceedings with
out going into bankruptcy. Now it
is more than probable that the 26
delegates from this county will be
represented by proxy by about
half dozen of their number. The
point is well taken, but the sug-
gestion comes too late-the job is
done and there should be no fur

RYE FOR HAY
A Crop That Grows without Er-
rigatiOn.

rlS2tlOn.
Last Fall the Boise Statesman
called attention to the fact that
rye sown on dry sagebrush land
would produce good feed for stock
when cut green. Acting upon the
suggestion of the Statesman, a
number Of ranchers sowed rye last
Fall on sagebrush land they were
unable to irrlgate, and the result is
they have large crop OF feed for
all kinds. It is not SO good nor
does stock like it so we'll as wheat
hay, but it is surer crop than
wheat, and is much better than
poor hay. Ia the planting Of rye
the problem of Winter feed is
solved. No farmer need be with
out feed in future if he will bu,
SOW few acres of rye. The yield
Is about ton to the acre, and If
there are late rains very good
second crop may De cut, or the sec
ond growth may be pastured. The
fact that rye can be grown IN
Idaho is worth much to the stock
interests. and to farmers who haye
no meadow land,

THAT RES HLUTfON.
A statement by Request NegaI d.
ing it.

| During the past few days severa
members Of the Anti Chinese
League stated te the editor Of the
APPEAL that they did not und er
stand that the resolution intro
duced in the League at its las
meeting, had ever been adopted by
the committee, and if such was the
case. they thought it ought to be
stated publicly. The committe at
ter two hours canvassing the sub
ject. passed the resolution blythe
following vote.
Aye Mason, Sweeny, Bryson,
Davis. No -Corbett.
| The comm ttee adopted the res
oiutiOn because it reached the con
| cluslon that to continue TO ask peo-
pie to employ white domestlcs
was asking an impossibil,y. and it
was also thought that the League
ought to be willing to share the re
sponsibilitics that it shouldered on
, the committee. The committee
did not care to be placed In the at
titude of prying into peoples kltch-
ems ard regulating their domestic
affairs. The committee found em-
ployment for several white girls.
displacing Chinese with them
Some of these girls seemed to get
an idea that they were in some
way backed by committee and
could do as they pleased. People
are continually running to the com
mlttee to ask permission to hire
Cinnamon in extreme eases, TO
complain about the white servant
girls, and to get the committee to
procure them different girls, Again
they were met by others who land
all their troubles to the commit
tees door. and cursed. scolded and
threatened them. The APPEAL
ventures to say that no State officer
has as much work to do as the
committee, and all this work was
done either gratuitiously or at a
dead loss TO the members of the
committee
The proChinese people cursed
the Committee for interfering with
the kitchens and the anti-Chinese
people curse about as much for
not doing more. The Committee
never felt that it had authority to
dictate to anybody what should be |
done in the matter Of employing
white or discharging Chinese help.
The Leauue was formed to mould |
public opinion against the practice
of employing Chinese help when
"hilC uetp Couiu uc HIctul Gu II
was not formed TO coerce ANYBODY,
nor will it do so with the consent

N this city who cannot get some
Kind of work. The labors of the
League have exhausted the white
kitchen help in this county, and
lnder these circum stances the
Committee adopted the resolution
which was voted down by the
league.
As the APPEAL understands the
lin and OBJECT Of the League, it is
0 persuade people to dlsplace Chi
