on the Secretary of the Interior for informa-
ton as to the names and rank ofoficers ana
priyates of the army, navy and marine corps
who are drawing perslons. Adopted.
Mr.. Quay csIiet. up tbs BIZ! to provids Ger
the aale OF the old custom house building lie
Erie, Pa.
Mr.. Blair thought that tie SsnGte MSS
o1ly wasting lis tins on such tWc-penuy
bills. He criticized ths Senate for i;s fail
ure to pass the labor measures and ne edvo-
Gated change in the rules of the Senate to
enable that body to dispose OF business. II
the Senate could DO nothing else during the
present session blu; charge lie ruler, itshonld
do that.
Mr.. TelersaiG that there were g great
many people vino thought that the subject
now engros5ing the attention of tie Senate
was not OF as great Importance as other
things He believed that there was dis
position on the part Of the Senate to pess
deserving measures very promptly. The
Senator from Nsw Hampshire could call up
the labor bills at any tine, end If the ger
item IN had those measures in charge end
neglected to bring them up it was his own
fault.
Mr. Blair said that no one knew better
than the Senator that it was impossible un-
dar the rules to bring up the labor bills. No
one knew better than the Senator, and oth-
h,Ern taa tha nh nf
it was Impossible in the present situation.
Mr.. Teller remarked that fthe gentleman
was deeircus,of changing the rules he had
8, far giyec no iatim alton Of it except by
getting up and reading lectures TO the San
ate. When thu gentleman presented res
oIution for change OF rules he Mr.. Tslier)
would be ready to cast his vote fof or against
it and TO give his reasons for his vote. 10
the meantime he insisted that it vas hardly
in keeping with the decency which prevail
ed 10 this body for ono Senator to get up
and read lectu to others in regard to
their dusy. For himself he resented these
repeated lectures. Il was enough that tins
penny -a-iiners ehou!d engage 10 them. l.
was hardly sesmlg and proper that Soaa-
tor should emulate thsm In this connection.
mir. B air took exception to the remark

ate. He had heard nsny lectures from the
Senator from Colorado. but ne had never
delivered one himself. Ia Mr.. B.slr) had

An Important Decision.

An interesting case TO .%inn-keepers
in the cause of the State of Missouri
vs. VIM. TuIl, was decided in the
Kansas City court Of appeals Monday
of last week. The defendant was in.
dlcted, tried and found guilty in Cole
county, under the act of 1885, for
obtaining board and lodging under
false %pretenses. The indictment
charges him with obtaining board un.
lawfully at the Monroe house by
means of a trick in this: "That he
represented to VIM. w. Wagner and
his clerk that as soon as he drew his
money as clerk in the general assem-.
bly, Of the state Of Missouri he would
pay his board"
This promise Clerk Tull failed 10
make good.
Judge Ellison handed down the
decision, in which all the court Ton.
Cured, reversing the judgment and
discharging the defendant. In the
decision the court says: at is a ia.
miliar principle of criminal law thst
to be guilty of what is known as a
false pretense, the pretense must re-
late to an existing or past fact and
not TO the future. A promise to do
something in the future has never
been considered q false p%retense. The
statute upon which this indictment is
founded cannot be distinguished In
this respect from the sections rela.
ting to false %pretense. cheats, etc, 1t
simply places obtaining board in the
same category with other things OBJ
tanned by false %pretenses. The indict.
ment does not aver, nor is it pretend.
ed, that defendant made any repre-
scntation as to any existing matter
which was false. His promise was no
more than to pay as soon as no
should get the money. Everyone
who boards at a hotel or boarding
house directly or indirectly promises
to pay his board, and it would
scarcely be thought such promises,
though false, would subject the
promiser to a criminal prosecution.
l am satisfied the indictment fails to
state an offense under the statute"
