Mr.. MILLS DECLINES.

Considerable Comment over His Refusal
to Serve on the Committee on Rules.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-The declina-
ton of Mr.. Mills to serve on the Com
mittee on Rules was the cause of
considerable comment about the capital.
Mr.. Mills declined to make a statement
concerning his action, and said that he
did not care to make known his reasons
at this time
1t is understood that Mr. Mills, in
rendering his resignation, was actual ed
by his personal feelings toward Speaker
Reed. After Mr.. Randall's death, Mr..
Mills believed that he was entitled to
the ex-Speaker's position on the Com
mittee on Rules, and the failure of
Speaker Reed to appoint him he con-
sidered discourteous to his position as
leader of the Democratic side of the
House.
The Speaker has appointed Mr.. Nc
Millin, of Tennessee, to the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Mills declination.

PETIT JURY DECISIONS.
That They Are FeRrfully and Wonderfully

That They Are Fearfully and Wonderfully
Made tho Following Shows.
The old saying that there is no tell
ing what petlt jury will do is borne out
in the following anecdote related by
Ambrose II. Purdy, commissioner Of the
fire department of New York. when
Recorder Smyth and I were assistant
United States district attorneys" said
he, "a complex suit was brought
against the collector of the port about
some import duties. The jury was i'm
paneled with celebrity and we got down
to hard work. Tho trial went on for three
weeks Both sides talked and argued and
cited authorities and finally summed
up. The Judge charged tho jury and
they retired. After several hours Of
mature deliberation they announced that
they had arrived at decision, and were
ushered into court. The clerk asked II
they had agreed on a verdict, and the
foreman replied that they had found for
the defendant. Although it is not Gus
tomary, still it is not an exceptional
thing for the losing side to ask the
court to have the jury polled. In this
instance counsel asked that it be done.
the clerk put the usual question to the
foreman and received an affirmative an
swer. and so on down to tho eighth Juror.
He sat looking stolidly before him and
didn't answer when his name was called.
He was a German, and the clerk asked
in louder tone II that was his verdict.
No answer. Then he Numbered out
and again no answer. At this juncture
the foremSn rose with a most urbane
manner and addressed the court: III
your honor please he said. the eighth
juror does not understand work of En-
glish. 80 we did not consult him at all in
making up our verdict How he got on
the jury was never explained"

TESTIMONIAL TO FRANCE.

The Plan Endorsed By the Society OF the
Sons of the American Revolution.
The Detroit (Mich.) journal some
time ago suggested the presentation OF
testimonial to the French Republic In
acknowledgment Of the services rem
dered by Lafayette and other French
soldiers and statesmen when the col
onies were sorely in need of help in
their struggle against British tyranny
and invasion. The suggestion was IA
vorably received and the journal began
to solicit 81 subscriptions from the pa
triotic citizens of this country to carry
out its plan. Responses were re-
ceived from President Harrison, the
Governors Of several States and
eminent editors who have since
agreed to promote the movement.
A tribute Of the kind suggested by the
Detroit journal is especially grateful
and appropriate at the present time.
The aspirations and ambitions which
Lafayette felt and experienced for his
own country, as we'll as this, have since
been realized over there as we'll as here.
The success which he helped win on
this continent led to the revolution in
France. Through storm, and terrors,
and strife; after many fluctuations
and tumults; after constant changes in
the form of government, from republic
to empire, empire to monarchy; mon
arohy to republic, and back again,
through the round of empire and revo-
luton, another republic has risen in
France, solder, hrmer, juster and more
peaceful than any that ever got foot.

publios has lived many times longer
than its elder sisters. 1t has never been

the United States to the Republic Of
France would have fraternal signih
