BERLIN, July 19.-Reichsanzeiger declares
that the shortening of the emperor's trip is
not due to the political situation but the
facts contradict this statement. Affairs in
the east are fastening to crisis and this
caused the emperor to advance the date of
his conferences with the czar. The rulers
will meet on August 10th. The Novoe
Vremya says that the position In Armenia
and Bulgaria will remain in statu quo as
far as Russia is concerned until the imper-
ial interviews are over.
The question of Prince Bismark's right to
divulge directly or suggestively through in
terviews his knowledge of state affairs ac-
quired while he was chancellor will be de-
cided upon the emperor's return. Allu-
sions appearing in the Hamburger Mach
richten disclose the desire of Bismarck to
publicly implicate the ex-Empress Freder-
just intensified his anger by warning
him that if the report is true that
he is preparing his memoirs he must
publish none of her letters or her husbands
without her consent, and intimating he
will be prosecuted if he fails to comply.

10 O'Clock this morning, in which Patsy

ONCE Of the Spokesman. Casey covered the
money and this morning the two principals
with their trainers met at the Spokesman
office to arrange the fight. Lynn, who il
middleweight, was present without invita-
tion and was in an ugly mood. He had
been talking about arranging fight With
MulliRan and said il there was going to bs
any fighting he wanted some Of it. While
the preliminaries were being discussed
Lynn, who was standing behind Mulligan's
chair, said: IF you fellows are looking tor

gan made some commonplace reply not
calculated to offend his questioner, then
Lynn struck at him without waiting 10 al
low him to rise and defend himself. MuaN-
gan spranR out Of his chair and. drawing
revolver, struck Lynn over the head with
the butt Of the weapon. Lynn was then

building and reentered by the back door 70

him until he leveled pistol at Mulligan
and shot him in the back. second
shot passed through Smiths right hand
and lodged in his knee. Lynn

Many Inaccuracies Discovered in the Bum

WASHINGTON, Jnly 19.-[Special. 1.-The
senate Indian committee has amended the
house bill providing for commission to
negotiate with the Grow Indians for ces-
sion of a portion of their reservation, by
providing that the members of the COM
mission shall not be residents of Montana.
Representative Carter resents this a. an
unjust imputation against the people of his
state and the secretary who will make the
appointments. It is said that Representa-
tive Carter has written letter to friend
in Montana. absolutely declining to be
candidate for reelection this fall. Carter
has been hard worker and he will be
missed in congress, where he has made
many friends. It is said that his reasons
for declining are based on the fact that his
interests are suffering and that he has found
all the glory and honor does not repay
man for the hard work he has to do.
The census bureau is having a second chap
ter of tho census war between Tacoma and
Seattle. The recount in three Seattle dis
tricts gave an increase of 1.1OO names. The
Seattle people want more districts counted,
and the census bureau has protest from
the Tacoma chamber of commerce against
this !, 100 increase to be entered upon the
summary. The supervisor has informed
the superintendent that the recount was
made by more competent men than was the
first count. The further recounting recon-
mended by the supervisor was in response
to the sentiment of Seattle business men
rather than on his own idea that omissions
had been made. The three recounted dis
tricts were known to have been imperfectly
taken the first time. The census bureau
objects strongly to more recounts, because
it is afraid of Temporary colonization for
swelling purposes. The supervisor has been
instructed to take all means except q re-
count to rectify omissions.
Representatives Wilson and Carter tried
to have included in the general appropria-
tion bill appropriations to reimburse the
penses incurred in holding their consti-
tutional conventions, but the committee
held that it was improper legislation to
attach to general appropriation bill, and
did not pass upon the merits of the claims.
The following are items in the bill: To
pay the account Of the Helena Journal COM
pany for printing and binding for the ff-
teenth legislative assembly of Montana, S.
1890; for protecting the salmon fisheries of
Alaska. 81 sO0;also 800 for advertising lease
of fur sealing islands in Alaska. The senate
appropriation committee is considering a
resolution to pay out of the contingent fund
of the senate 5000 for the contested cleo
tion expenses of w. A. Clark and Martin
Maginnis. If this were to go through the
house it would probably be cut down, as the
deficiency bill allows only $1,000 to each
contestant. But the contingent fund of
each house is disposed of as each house de-
crees.

Escheated Mormon Property,


WASHINGTON, July 19.-The house judic-
iary committee listened to the argument of
Judge James O. Broadhead, of st. Louis, in
opposition to the senate bill providing for
the application of forfeited Mormon church
funds to the support of the common schools
of Utah. Judge Broadhead's contention
was that the bill is in violation of the gem
eral law respecting charities, inasmuch as
it proposed to divert from its legitimate
purposes moneys subscribed in aid of GER
tain charities connected directly with a
specific denomination. He held that al
though certain of these charities had been
declared illegal, yet there were others
among those specified, such as the support
of Mormon Schools which could legally le-
ceive funds. as property in the hands of a
receiver. He held that the passage of the
bill was unnecessary, and would PREJUDICE
the final decision of the court.
