THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE,
1t Will Not Be Printed at the Govern
ment Printing Office.

The government printing Office is not to
handle this year that valuable document which
will be sent to Congress q month from today
and which Is commonly known among men as
the Presidents message. 1t has been Gus
tomary for some years past to have
the message put In type in the gov
eminent printing Office by compositors who
were FIRST sworn to secrecy and then locked up
in armor-plated rooms, which we're watched
over by armed men and hungry bull dogs
Under the present administration things have
taken a turn, and the compositors, who usu-
ally do confidential work, will not have their
condolences burdened with the statesmen
like utterances now being shaped by Indiana's
favorite son. The messsage-the original
message-will be written by the President him.
self and whatever copies may be made Of it
previous to its being read in the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the United states
in Congress assembled, will be the handiwork
of Miss Alice Sanger and her type writer. Here
tofore it has been regular practice
to send to q large number of newspapers
printed copy of the message with
an understanding that the document was not
to be published until il was formally released
by telegraph by the respective press associ-
atoms through which it had been obtained.
This year it will be otherwise, and
those editors who expect to receive typo
10 am. of the day on which
Congress will materialize are going to be disap-
pointed. On more than one occasion the mes
sage has been printed in advance of its delivery
in Congress, and it is evident that President
Harrison is not going to take any risks

in the public hall adjoining the east room, and
new carpets were purch Ised for the red room
and the lower main corridor. "A rat catcher
and his assistant, with dogs and ferrets," he
says, "were employed during part Of the
mouth in an effort
TO Rid THE MANSION OF THE RODENTS.
Kuite satisfactory progress was made, and it is
hoped the pests will be finally exterminated."
The work Of reconstructing the stable con-
nected with the public grounds, which is
located in the grounds south of the executive
mansion, was about completed. The electric
lamps were placed in position upon the seven
posts already erected in these grounds, and
the illumination commenced on the 6th Of the
month and continued in . most satisfactory
manner. These lamps light the 5O-foot road
way around the eilipse and are considered an
important adjunct to the Improvement Of the
grounds.

month. and two arrests were made Of persons
offending in this respect. There were 81, 200
visitors to the top Of the shaft. Is, $50 Of whom

A DESPERATE STRUGGLE.
Two Robust Reform School Puptls Al.
tack Teacher and are worsted.

This morning at the District reform school
Mr. Richard Densmore, one OF the teachers,
had desperate struggle with two of the in.
mates-John Pollard and Braxton Edgmont--
who we're sent to the school about three months
ago from Fort Smith. Ark. the former being
sentenced to twelve months and the latter three
years.
The conflict. such a one as never before oe-
Cured in that institution. took place about 80
O'Clock. The boys had been 10 breakfast and
when leaving the table Pollard put fork in his
pocket When the play room was reached the
teacher spoke to Pollard and asked him for the
fork. Then the trouble began and Edgmont
went to the assistance Of his partner.
THE ATTACK.
The two prisoners had been known as ''cow-
boys" and were regarded 90 desperate fellows.
They are both very large and strong. and the
teacher knew we'll what he had TO contend
with. Pollard did not get chance to take the
teachers life with the fork, but his companion
got In o stunning blow on his head with piece
OF iron pipe. The struggle lasted several
minutes, during which the cowboys"
were worsted. sPollard's head was cut in sew
eral places and his finger was broken, while
Edgmonts head was also badly cut and his
hand injured. The cowboys" evidently were
preparing for an attack on the teacher or one
Of the guards, as Pollard had the fork and
Edgmont had piece Of iron pipe.
TIED AND TAKEN TO POLICE HEADQUARTERS.
After the fight was over and the cowboys
had been overpowered they were tied aud
placed in a wagon. Then they we're driven to
police headquarters and turned over TO the de-
tectives. The boys were then united and their
names were registered
What were you arrested for2" asked Detective
Mahon of Pollard
For cutting man" be replied.
and your partner"
why, he was arrested for picking up the end
Of a rope"
"what was at the other end2"
"a horse"
The prisoners were then taken to the Police
Court, where they were charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill. The case was
continued for ten days.
PoLLARD's STORY
Pollard said to a STAR reporter this morning
tina. he put the fork in his pocket because he
knew there was trouble ahead for him. He says
he had no idea of attempting to escape, be-
cause, he said, he could have escaped at any
time he desired. He denies that his partner
had piece of iron pine and
claims that tine teacher had it. The
teacher, he said, came after him TO take
the fork from him. When the teacher grabbed
him as though he WAS going to give him a
fogging, Edgmont came to his assistance.
Pollard head was so badly injured that a
physician was sent for. DIR. Gill OF the Emergency
hospital responded and sewed up the cuts
across his head. The two youngsters were then
committed to jail.

THE SALOON MEN DID IT.
Gen. Boynton on the Causes Of Repub-
ncan Defeat in Ohio.

Gen. b. V. Boynton has returned from the
scene of republican desolstion and sadness
known in the general land Office and designated
on the maps as the state of Ohio. He did not
seem to be entirely heartbroken and he talked
freely with STAR reporter on the campaign
and its surprising results.
Opposition to the Observation-Disclosures
to the President"-said the general, didn't
enter, to any appreciable degree, into the cam
paign in Ohio. During my absence from this
mate that discomfort with the powers
that govern the land had anything to do
do with the fight. I conversed with large
number of gentlemen who had been busiy
engaged in canvassing the state. They ex-
planned the situation thoroughly and, I have
most emphatic in stating that opposition to
President Harrison cut no figure in the strug-
gle."
did the soldiers upset Foraker?" asked
the reporter.
NO" replied the general. with considerable
emphasis. 1.-The Tanner business was of little
or no consequence. / met a great many
soldiers in Ohio and was with a party of
them all the time l was away, but
Tanners name was only mentioned once in my
hearing and then by mutual friend who
wanted to know how the ex-commissioner was.
EVERYBODY seemed TO nave good word for
Commissioner Raum; those who spoke Of his
appointment said it was the best that could
possibly have been made"
who were the wreckers?" queried the re-
porter.
1.-THE saloon element did the work." replied
the general. The saloon crowd and their
partnership prohibitionists. / class both of
them together because they work as one;
everything the prohibltionists do is
of material advantage to the liquor
men and them only. Some of the
labor was by republicans who disliked Foraker
and they were quite numerous. They have
hated him ever since the Chicago convention;
they were displeased at some Of his appoint
ments and hurt by some Of his removals. A
great many were opposed to Foraker's candi-
dacy for third term.
1.-THE situation in Ohio is rather peculiar
now" concluded the general. when 1 left
the state it was understood that we had elected
all the state ticket, with the exception Of the
governor. This. if true, will give the senate a
republican presiding officer in the person
of the lieutenant governor. The democratic
majority in that body will be only one, SO you
can readily see the repressive influence which
a republican presiding officer can exercise over
proposed democratic legislation"

BRITAIN GRACEFULLY YIELDS.
Her Delegates to the Conference VIII
Take Part In the Whole Program.

In the International marine conference this
morning Delegate Hall OF Great Britain said
the British delegates were instructed to stick
to the program Of the conference as prepared
BY the delegates from the United States. Great
Britain, he said, was Of opinion that the scope
Of this program was too extensive.
His government, he said, has hoped,
however, the consideration Of the matters they
were to discuss would end in practical results.
Mr.. Hall spoke Of the marked progress that
had been made thus far in the consideration
of the rules Of the road, and in view Of this he
announced that the British delegation had re-
ceived instructions from her majestys govern
ment to engage in the consideration Of the
various other divisions of the program as
prepared by the delegates from the
United States. He had telegraphed home for
papers and other technical assistance to assist
the delegation in the discussion. He said that
he and his colleagues would be happy to con-
tribute anything to the discussion that would be
OF interest. The announcement was received
with hearty demonstration Of applause and
cries Of Hear" Hear"
on THE COMMITTEES.
Delegate Goodrich Of the United States, re-
plying to this announcement, said the confer
ence would rejoice at the decision Of the Brit
lbu BOuerumeuL ne tueu CalleQ dtteHuOu
to the fact that the government Of Great
Britain was not represented on a number Of
the various committees to consider the d.
visions Of the program appointed at
the meeting of the conference on
Friday last and he therefore moved that each Of
these committees be increased by two members,
and also that the committee on collocation be
increased. This motion was carried. Mr..
Goodrich had in his possession u copy Of a re-
port published in London on the same subject
as the matter contained in grand division three
of the program-uniform maximum load mark
and he moved that it be referred to the COM
mittees having consideration Of this subject,
which action was taken.
The consideration of the amendments here
tofore offered to the rules Of the road was then
resumed. The first amendment taken up was
one amending article six by providing that q
sailing ship under way land any vessel being
towed shall carry the same lights as are pro-
vided by article three for q steamship,under
way, with the exception Of the white light,
which she shall never carry. Adopted.
The conference then took up for considera-
ton the amendments offered on the 4th instant
by Delegate Goodrich of the United States con-
corning auxiliary side lights. These amend
ments relate to article three Of the rules of the
road and include several distinct propositions
Before entering in detail upon the considera-
ton of the amendments Mr.. Goodrich in an
earnest, impassioned address of some length.
dwelt on the necessity Of sufficient number of
lights on vessels.

Hearing in the Police Court Tomorrow.

civilian Hutchinson, r. Hutchinson and

Englishman wrote on the Ebbitt house register
Saturday evening. II want the best rooms in
the house for our party" said the young man.
"My brother and his wife are at the depot look
ing after their baggage" The stranger was
given one of the best suites in the hotel. Then
he gave orders for a fire to be started in the
crate and told the clerk that he was going out
to send a cablegram. "By the way" he re-
marked, 81 haven't the money with me, but if
you will just loan me about $50 until my
brother comes I'll return it. don't think the
message will cost more than that, as l use the
CODE"
The clerk explained that it was against the
rules of the house to loan money; but the Eng
lishman said that his baggage would be along
in few minutes and that would be ample Sc
curity. The clerk, however, would not depart
from the rules. Hutchinson" took the refusal
good naturedly and left the Office, saying he
would soon return.

formed the clerk that he had nothing but En-
glish coin about him. 1t was after banking

there he went to the Riggs house. where, under
similar representations, he borrowed 81.

THE STATE COURTS UPHELD.
Decision Of the United States Supreme
Court in the North Carolina Bank Cases.

The Supreme Court Of the United States to-
day entered an opinion affirming the judgment
Of the supreme court of North Carolina in the
case of Cross and White, the president and
cashier respectively of the State national
bank Of Raleigh, NC. The crime with which
they were charged was forgery of promissory
note and making of a false entry in the
books OF the bank for the purpose of deceiving
the national banks examined as to the financial
condition of the bank. 1t was contended in
behalf Of Cross and White that their offense
was cognizable in the federal and not in the
state courts. The Supreme Court decides
against the convicted bank officers and in favor
of the state.
