Chicago. the beef slaughterers and packers and
leading members OF the dressed beef COM

railroad companies allow rebate to Armour &
Co., and that the firm thus receives back part
of the freight which he pays. Mr.. Israel claims
that he is entitled to that rebate, and that it
now amounts to $1,000. for which amount he

IT is asserted that Mr.. c. P. Hunting
toms sale of his Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road indicates that he is going to concen-
trate his railroad interests in the Southwest,
where he can control the shortest Southern
transcontinental line between the Pacific
Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Until Mr..
Huntington has finally made those arrange
ments, he will indulge in the usual cor
porate outcry against people who now own
the most direct line when they try to take
away the business which Mr.. Huntington
wants retained by his own road.

corpus and certiorari issued to-day in the case
of Henry 8. Ives and George H. Stayner. were
dismissed in the Supreme Court chambers to-
Gay, without argument The counsel of Ives
and Stayner tried at first to have the writs
withdrawn because Ives began the proceedings
without consulting his lawyers. The assistant
district attorney in charge Of the case. how
ever, insisted upon the dismissal. Ives was
very much ayerse to giving his counsel privilege
to dismiss, but he finally consented ana the
papers were Endorsed accordingly. Ives to-day
appeared in blue serge suit in place of the
snuf-colored garments he usually wears. and
the colored valet who used to attend upon his
person at his luxurious Fifth avenue apart
ments, and whose services he still requires in
Ludlow street, was in court with him. Ives
smiled and smiled, but his countenance wore
traces of some very discernible anxiety. Stay
ner looked pale and far from jolly. After the
signing of the papers, both were hurried back
to the Ludlow street jail.
Lost Treasure Recovered by Divers.
George Gould, President of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, has received a cablegram
from :he company's agent at Manzanilla, stat
ing that the treasure, amounting to about
100000, on board the Pacific Mail steamer
Granada, when that vessel was lost, had been
recovered. The Granada went ashore about
a month ago on the rocks along the coast of
Punta Tejuhan- Gold ore and English securi-
ties were included in her manifest. The vessel,
whose value was 100000, was a total loss. The
English owners of the cargo sent out an expe-
dition from London to recover the valuables.
At Nogales. Mexico, Superintendent Richard
son. of the expedition, received telegram
from Manzanilla, stating that the native divers
had recoved all the treasure on the wrecked
vessel, and that 1t was useless for him to pro-
ceed further. The valuables were subse-
quently sent overland to Manzanilla, and from
there to England by one OF the Pacific Mail
steamers.

its inconvenience. But it is their idea of cere-

O'Brien'S Jesuit Resolutions Sc
Verely Criticised by Mills,
Who Cites the Unit.d States Liberality
Towards Religious Orders.
Reciprocity as Regards Wreckiug in
lien Struggle.


OTTAWA, Ont, March 10.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
the de bate was resumed On the Jesuit estates
question. Hon David Mills was the first
speaker. He said the motion of Col. Brier
vas an important one. In the name of
liberation he-seeks intolerance; he seeks to
violate the constitution under the plea of de-
Tending the supremacy OF the crown. 1t is
useless to criticize the actions of the ,Iesuits
of former times. The ii fuence of ages
should be taken into consideration He
tried to show the so called Jesuitical inter
ference in civil matters Cccasioned by init
mate relations between church and state
The United States served as an illustration
literally displayed in religious matters.
Mills denied that the dominion parliament
was endowed with authority to pronounce
upon ecclesiastical affairs. Professionalism
had nothing TO fear from the so called Cath
Ole aggression in Canala. Although perso-
naIls of the opinion that the Catholic rehg
ion was, in some respects, erroneous, he
would not think of interfering with the rights
of others. He sat down amidst applause.
