upon the mantel of this room was q bottle of

the bride arose, complained of feeling un-

THE SIOUX RESERVATION.
No Order Has Been Issued Allowing
Settlers to Locate.

WASHINGTON, May u.-Secretary Noble
was shown the dispatch from Pierre, Dak
dated to-day in which it was said that many
settlers had entered the Sioux reservation
and staked out claims in anticipation of a
favorable result of pending negotiations with
the Indians for the cession of a large part Of
their territory, and that permission to enter
the reservation and select claims had been
granted by the officials of the interior de-
partncnt at Washington, provided it
was done peaceably. When asked
if permission had been given, as
stated, the secretary said that no such au-
thority had been given, and If settlers had
entered the reservation they would be
elected Immediately. The public survey of
one Of the boundary lines of the reservation,
he said, had been suspended temporarily,
pending negotiations, for fear of creating
alarm or distrust among tho Indians. He
expressed hope that the report Of settlers
entering the indian lands would prove to be
unfounded, rs it might seriously embarrass
the commissioners in their negotiations; but
if found to be true, the action Of the depart
ment would be prompt and effective.

A PASSAGE WITH PENS.
Jeff Davis Makes Vicious Jab at
General WOlseley

NASHVILLE, May 1.-THE American to-
morrow will publish a long letter from JEFF
ferson Davis written in reply to request
made by the editor for statement on Gen
eral Wolseley's article in the North Ameri-
can Review for May criticising Davis course
as president of the confederacy. Mr.. Davis
refers to his reply to Wolseley's article of a
year ago IN which Davis exposed an histori-
cal error, etc.
Mr.. Davis says in part: I'm the article to
which you now call my attention, the adju-
tant-general Of the British army, Viscount
Wolseley, with increased venom. renews his
of a hypocritical pretention of sincerity
His arrogance, heretofore exhibited, was so
extreme as to be harmless and merely pro-
voked contempt Now, having learned that
facts are needful to sustain allegations, he
follows his deprecatory remarks concerning
me by libelous statement. Where, when,
or how did l ever express the
opinion that 10000 Enfield rifles
would suffice for the confederacyl 2
Where, when or how did then refuse to re-
ceive 100000 men offered for the confederate
servicel Where, when or how was the East
Indian feet offered to me' What means
were rejected by me when proposed by 9TH
ers for placing the finances ofthe confederacy
on q sound basisl"
Mr.. Davis then refers to statements in sew
eral books published on the subject of the
confederacy and reports of the confederate
officials as refutation of Wolseley's state

THE PARIS ExPoslTl ON.
A Comparison OF American and
EurODcan Designs.


European Designs.
PARIS, May ia study of the universal
exposition for the purpose of comparing
products into which design enters, discloses
two truths concerning American growth
The classification in which these truths are
apparent comprise everything in the manu-
facture of which beauty is blended with use
fulness.
l. That the American constructive sense
is superior to the European.
O. That the decorative sense is inferior to
the European.
The American has surpassed the European
IN mechanism, but the sense of beauty Is still
dull in the national breast. American arti-
sanship is more intelligent in the application
of means to ends and in directness of
method and economy of labor but is crude
and almost illiterate in taste. In fine arti-
sanship, generally considered, every other
country of magnitude puts us to shame.
Eliminate from the American exhibit ma
chnery, gold and silver smithing, and the
art of the lspidary ana the glass maker, and
there Is no Americani decorative art remain
ing upon which one eau linger with salts

KANSAS PROHIBITION.
a Supreme Court Decision Covering
New Phase of the Law


New Phase of the Law.
TOPEKA, Kan, Maysl.-[Special Telegram
to The BEE. IA decision covering new
phase Of the prohibition laws was rendered
to-day by the supreme court. About month
ago the authorities Of Lyon county seized an
immense quantity Of whisky, including forty
barrels of beer and ton barrels Of whisky.
They were making preparations to destroy
when James H. Easter, Of Kansas City a
wholesale liquor dealer, appeared and com
menced an action In replevin to regain pos
session of the liquor. The clerk of the court,
who is pronounced probibitiOnlst. refused
to issue the papers. Easter appealed to the
highest court, and o decision was given In
his favor to-day The supreme court says:
"1he clerk of the district court is purely
ministerial officer, and whenever an action OF
replevin is brought, and in such action the
proper affidavit for an order Of delivery and
the proper undertaking are each filed in the
clerks office, 1t is the clerks duty to issue the
order of delivery, intoxicating liquors are
not contraband in this state. They are still
property, and may be legally manufactured
and sold for certain purposes, and may be
legally used for almost any purpose for
which Intoxicating liquors may ever be used.
The clerk must ebsy the law.

A CUSTOMS DECISION.
Collector Erhart, OF New York, Settles
a Lon q. Standing Disnute


Long-Standing Dispute.
New YORK, May 11.-Collector Erhard this
afternoon decided dispute Of long standing
between the New York customs authorities
and the merchants. The decision involves
nearly 81, 500, 900 annually, and Is the result
of several Investigations. Invoices of manu-
factured worsted goods have been found by
the appraiser to contain large quantities OF
wool, and therefore have been appraised
under section 3e2, Of the tariff law. which
calls for duty of 25 cents per pound and 35
per cent ad valorem on all woolen goods
under the value of so cents per pound. The
importers claimed the goods contained only
"combed" wool, and should come under the
section classifying blankets, wool hats, and
all goods made in knitting frames" and
calling for a duty OF from 10 to IS cents per
pound on goods worth from 80 to so cents.
Two invoices brought by the City Of Paris
and the Umbrla form the basis of the de-
cison, which is adverse to the importers
Collector Erhart notified the importers that
they might appeal to the secretary Of the
treasury

THE PENDING RAILROAD WAR.
Continuing the Discussion of the Pro-
posed (nmbine


CmCAGo, May il.-tSpecial Telegram to
The Bee. The correspondence betweon
Freight-Tranic Manager Bird, of the ST.
Paul, and Chairman blanchard, OF the Cen
trail Traffic association, relative to what the
latter terms a "Goats-horn" route, via the
st. Paul, Milwaukee s. Northern, ana Cana
dian Pacific, TO the seaboard, is being
watched with intense interest by every rail-
road Official between the Missouri river and
the seaboard. Central traffic and trunk line
roads see in the proposed route vast sewe
which would swallow up all the net earnings
in through business. Chicago and western
merchants look on the proposed route with
favor as its establishment would inevitably
lead to a war IN rates such as has not bee Ii
seen iii years
Chairman Blanchard, to-day issued an
open letter to Mr. Bird, the fourth in the
series relative to the establishment of the
new line. In answer to Mr.. Birds argu.
ments, Mr.. Blanchard shows that the pro-
posed new route is 43 per cent longer than
the shortest Central Traffic association rout e
to Boston, and 42 per cent longer than
the average route to New York city.
MIR. Blanchard further shows that
the new route, although 400 miles
longer must carry traffic to the sea
board at a lower rate than those now in ef
feet over the central traffic roads. Mr..
Blanchard also gets back at Mr.. Bird by
showing that the St. Paul has joined a lake
and rail line rps miles long, from Buffalo,
which competes directly with the central
traffic lines, 1880 miles long, and gives the
line preference BY charging it 8 cents a hun
dred less than the central traffic routes. This
was done IN spite of the fact that central
traffic roads had protected the ST, Paul by
refusing to Join a route via Mackinac which
II was desired to establish to meet the St.
Paul competition. Other instances of the
same kind are cited, where central traffic and
trunk line roads had protected the ST. Paul,
and the st. Paul had joined antagonistic COM
bnations. The letter is voluminous one,
and proves by figures the falsity of all Mr.
Birds statements and comparisons.
Chicago railroad men agree that no more
demoralizing factor than the new route could
possibly be introduced but all think it will
be formed Exceedingly lively times will
follow it's formation.
The Union Pacific will complete its line to
