house for some time yet.
The United States supreme court to-
day heard argument in the case of
Charles Counselman, brought here on
appeal from decision by Judge
Gresham, refusing to grant him writ
of habeas corpus. Counselman refused
to answer questions put by the grand
jury in Chicago, investigating alleged
violations of the interstate commerce
law, and was fined $500. A decision in
his favor, it is said, would make the
interstate commerce law practically in
effective.
Commissioner Carter, of the general
land Office, today recommended to the
secretary of the interior that all desert
lands embraced in the 80 called Norway
survey around Tulale lake, California,
embracing about 100000 acres, be certi-
fed to the state of California as swamp
and overaowed lands under the act Of
1858. This case has been before the Of

character of the land and the integrity
OF the survey.
The third annual conference of the

were discussed and acted upon. In
regard to the free delivery service, the
inspectors recommended that it be ex-
tended to include towns of 5000 popula-
ton and 5000 postal revenue per an

were also made. 1t was suggested that
all postmasters and custodians OF post
Office buildings be charged with the
duty of keeping the American flag suit
ably displayed.
Less than twenty-five members of the
American Bar association were present
at the meeting today. The secretary
read report from the committee on in
ternational law, urging the formation of
a congress of international lawyers at
Chicago during the worlds fair.
There are no new developments in the
case of Major Overman of the engineer
crops. His deficiency, if any exists, will

The Debate on Germany's Commercial
Treaties About to Begin.
BERLIN, Dec. 9.-The reichstag, today,
after lively debate, carried by large
majority motion fixing tomorrow as
the time for the debate on the question
of the ratification of the new CONNER
cial treaties between Germany and AUS
tria, Germany and Italy, and Germany
and Belgium. Caprivi expects to secure
the ratification of the treaty before
Christmas. Caprivi will open
the discussion of the treaty. Ratifica-
tion is being opposed by thirty MEM
bers, led by Herr Birbach, Conserva-
tive. The Hamburger Crichten advised
an exhaustive examination of the
treaties in committees. Bismarck has
definitely stated that he will not attend
the debate.
In speech tonight, Won Caprivi, re-
ferring to the French attacks on the
setlyerein, said they were only serving
to cement ''the league of peace" He
averred that negotiations were pending
for reciprocity agreement with the
United States, but conveyed the impress
sion that he thought the favored nation
clause under the Clay treaty was not
valid without fresh agreement, based
on mutual concessions.

Associated Press Dispatches.

New York, Dec. 9.-Under Valparaiso
date, the World prints this: The sub
stance of President Harrison's state
ment on Chilean affairs was received
today, and is subject of universal
comment. 1t is regarded by the Chile
ans as decidedly threatening rupture,
as it is not believed the Chilean govern
ment will consent either to an apology
or material indemnity. The majority
In congress is known to be opposed TO
any concession, and the Chilean gov
ernment would find it difficult
to carry the necessary support for
any humiliating measures. It is now no
secret that the government is proceed
ing actively with warlike preparations,
and artillery of the latest manufacture
has been ordered from Germany. The
situation is complicated by Spain's de-
mand for large indemnity. The
Chileans have always detested the
Spaniards and the hatred is quickened
by this demand. They would challenge
Spain if they had not the United States
to deal with. Captain Schley refused
to express any opinion as to the presi-
dents message, but was evidently
pleased.
LONDON, Dec. 9.-The Times today
publishes a dispatch from it's Santiago
de Chile correspondent, stating that in
sulting notes written to the government
by United States Minister Egan and his
kilograms to his government, caused the
proposition to be made that Chile sup
press her legation at Washington.
This proposition was discussed at
meeting of the finance committee Of the
house of representatives last night, but
the government declined to support the
proposal.

Chinese Imperial Troops Following Up
Their Victories.
LONDON, Dec. ga dispatch was re-
ceived today at the Chinese legation,
stating that the rebels in Northern
China had another engagement with
the imperial troops, and the insurgents
sustained most crushing defeat. The
government forces are following up
their victories, and the complete ami
hilation of the rebels is expected in a
few days.
LONDON, Dec, 9.-The Chronicle this
morning published letter from it's
Shanghai correspondent, in which he
repeats his previous assertion that the
present crisis in the Chinese empire is
not religious. He says revolutionary
spirit fills the land. 1t is species of
nihilism that has seized the army, mem
bers of the official classes, even to the
Oldest families of China, and servants in
the houses of Europeans. The pro-con-
suls of the governors-general hold that
no revolution is possible, certainly not
successful, without them. Their pres
ent interest is against rebellion, because
they live by corruption. But if they
could be convinced that q revolution
would operate in their favor, the CO.
operation of all of them might be relied
on.
A dispatch to the Times from Tien Tsin
says some Christians have been mas
sacred near Pekouscibe by banditti and
an undisciplined mob. The commander,

mitted suicide. A magistrate impli-
Gated in the affair has been arrested
and committed for trial.
Advices are received here from Ran.

British Burmah, stating that serious
trouble is apprehended, as the Chinese
across the river are strengthening theil
posts. The authorities have dispatched
reinforcements.

DOM PEDRo's FUNERAL.
Impressive Services Held for the Dead
Monarch In Paris.

PARIS, Dec. 9.-The French govern
ment having determined to give to the
ex-emperor of Brazil a funeral, the
Place de la Madelaine was today lined
with soldiers. A great crowd of people
was permitted to pass by the coffin
until the hour set for the. funeral cere-
monies. The church where the SER
vices were held was densely packed.
The mourning decorations were beauti-
full and elaborate.
Princess Isabella, Dom Pedro daugh-
ter and ex-princess imperial of Brazil,
and her husband, Count D'Eu, sat at
the right of the bier. They were accom-
panied by their three sons.
Close by sat the members of
the royal family of France.
All the diplomats in Paris were in at

sented by General Brugere. To the left
OF the bier were seated ex-Queen Isa-
bella Of Spain, the Duchess de Ghatres,
Countess Trapeni and the infanta Eu-
lalie of Spain. The minister of Brazil
and number of other dignitaries OF
that country surrounded the catafalque.

minutes to await the presidents mes

received and read by the clerk.
The reading OF the annual message in

to the general rule. On the completion
OF the reading of the message, it was
referred to the committee of the whole.

and the bands began playing the mourn
ful strains of the dead March in Saul. !"
The funeral car was drawn by eight
horses caparisoned in black, each led by
a servant. Sixteen noted Brazilians
acted as pall-bearers. Following the
hearse came anumber of officers bearing
the decorations and orders of the dead
ex-emperor. Then came ten coaches,
conveying the mourning relatives
OF Dom Pedro, and these in turn
were followed by large number
OF Braziians on foot. Following were
eight regiments of cavalry and infantry
and a battery OF artillery, which accom-
panied the remains from the church to
the railway station. The whole route
followed by the funeral procession was
lined with thousands of people.

NOT USED FOR FILLERs.
Fraudulent Importation of Sumatra To
bacco by a San Francisco Firm.

bacco by San Francisco Firm.
New YORK, Dec. 9.-The New York
Leaf Tobacco board of trade held a
meeting today to take action regarding
Liebes & Co.'s importation of Sumatra
tabacco, which has been the object of
much gossip among leaf tobacco dealers
in this country. Liebes & Co. of San
Francisco imported in separate importa-
tions since the passage OF the Mckinley
bill 500 bales of Sumatra tobacco
from Amsterdam. The tobacco was
landed at New Orleans and shipped to
San Francisco, where it was entered as
Sumatra filler and passed by the local
appraiser. After reviewing the case the
board passed strong resolutions, aver
ring that no case was ever known where
Sumatra tobacco was ever imported with
intent to be used as filters. Any at
tempt to import Sumatra under the
class of filters was regarded with sus-
picion as having been made with sim
lister motives; the duties on 800 bales
involve difference to the government
of $150,000.

BRITISH COMMENT.
How the Presidents Message Is Viewed
In England. ts


LONDON, Dec. S.-Commenting on the
presidents message, the Post notices
with satisfaction the absence of signs of
buster towards foreign nations. and
says if the message meets the ideas of
the presidents party Blaine's chances
are seriously diminished.
The Daily News says: "The presi-
dents message leaves nothing desired
either in tone or temper. Harrison
is less exasperating than Blaine, and
consequently more statesmanlike. He
would not speak so tenderly of reciproc-
ity if his protection policy was sue
cess"
The Standard says: "Harrison's g mes
sage is noticeable for its large devotion
to foreign affairs. This showing is due
to Blaine's fdgety activity. The presi-
dent glides with his customary bland
optimisms over several matters hardly
doing credit to American diplomats. 1t
must be admitted that the figures be
quotes, although justifying the sangnine
hopes OF the authors of the Mckinley
law, are sufficient to cause some sur
prise to adverse critics, both at home
and abroad"

THE BOMB THROWER.
The Head of Russell Sage's AssaiIant on
Exhibition.

Exhibition.
New YORK, Dec. 9.-The head of the
dead bomb thrower was viewed by hun
dreds this morning; A plaster cast has
been made of the head. Experts will
make another examination of the brain
tomorrow. Mrs. Catherine Stumpf called
to see the head. She had a picture
of Prof" A. A. Denton, which bore a
striking resemblance to the head. South
worth had little to say today. Among
his effects has been founda ribbon like
that found Monday in Sage's wrecked
Office. Russell Sage is not expected at
his Office this week, but is directing
business from home. Messrs. Osborne,
Robertson and Laidlaw, who were
severely injured by the explosion, are
still confined to the hospital, but are
progressing towards recovery. The re-
port that Sage positively identified the
man Phillips as his assailant appears to
be wholly unfounded.
