Paraiytio Made Whole.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, OCT. 24.-The crack of
farmers whip performed what may al
most be termed a miracle at Oswelt, small
town in this state yesterday. Miss Martha
Rowley, an estimable young lady, formerly
of this city, was taken with stroke four
months ngo, which deprived her of the use
of her loft side. From head to foot she was
left helpless, and all medical aid in Des
Moines failed to restore her. She became
accustomed to using crutch, but always
dragged her left limb behind her as if it
were dead. Yesterday she was ont for a
walk, when she was startled by the crack
of the farmers whip, and she Immediately
threw her crutches away, and was able to
walk home. Her family were much alarmed
over her mysterious cure, but there is great
rejoicing over the event and the young lady
can hardly realize her good fortune.

MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. N.--The jury in the
libel suit Of Ignatius Donnelly against the
Pioneer Press for 100000 damages, to-
night brought in a verdict giving Donnelly
81, and allowing him $5 for counsel fees.
The trial has been probably the most fa-
nous in legal annals in the northwest.
1gnatius Donnelly sued the Pioneer
Press for 100000 actual damages on
account of the republication Of q
letter from Col. King, formerly postmaster
of the house of representatives. first pub
lished in tho Pioneer Press eleven years
previously. It was on account Of allega-
tions of bribery made in the letter that
Donnelly brought the suit. The jury was
out three hours and at one time stood
eleven to one in favor Of the Pioneer Press.
but in view OF the fact that ono instance of
alleged bribery in congress could not be
proved, owing to the death of witness,
they returned the verdict stated, making
the damages purely nominal, solely on ac-
count Of tho single failure of proof.

A NATIONAL INSULT.
Tho Outrage ON American Sailors at Val
paraisO So Deemed. a"0

Tho Outrage ON American Sailors at VAL
parniso So Deemed.
WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-Further. persistent
inquiry of the officers Of the government in
regard to the Valparaiso incident shows
conclusively that the administration does
not regard it simply az street brnwl, for
which the Chilian government cannot be
held responsible. but as an insult to tho
honor and flag of the United States, calling
for the most vigorous diplomatic treatment.
The official report by Capt. Schley shows
oleurly not only that the assault
upon the American sailors was cow
ardly and unprovoked but inspired
purely by hatred for the uniform
they wore and the country il represented,
or, in other words, was not an attack on
them as individuals, but as representatives
of the United states. The repeat also indi-
Gates that the local police. instead of pro-
tecting tEc Americans from the violence of
the mob, in several instances took part IN
the onslaught. This, tho report says, is
demonstrated by the fact that several sail
ors wers wounded by bayonets suoh as are
usually carried by the Chilian police. The
fact TINT the only persons arrested were
thirty-fve American sailors who escaped
injuries at the hands of the mob strength
ems the view that the assault was intended
as an insult to the United States.
Information ut hand shows that 10 far
mono Of the Chilians concerned in the at
tack have been arrested and so far as
known no steps have been taken to punish
them in any way for their action. The
authorities at Washington are very indig-
nant at the apparent indifference displayed d
by the Chilian government, and Minister
Egan has been instructed to take prompt
and vigorous measure to secure proper re-
paration. He has bssn fully advise d of the
position of this government and is in
structed to acquaint the Chilian govern
ment Herewith in the horO that tho matter
may be amicably adjusted without detri-
ment to the honor Of either country.
It is understood that tho president
insists upon proper redress for the sup
posed insult to national honor. and unless
oiven within reasonable time Minister Egan
will be recalled and all diplomAtic relations
with Chill suspended.
no more veRsels had been ordered to Chill,
and he did not know that any would be
sent. The Yorktown is now on the way
there, and the Boston is starting. Neither
oan reach there within month. The San
four days sail from Valparaiso,
but has not been ordered there.
Neither has another available vessel, tho
Ihetis, now at San Francisco. The sailing
orders of the Boston and Yorktown were
issued before the attack on the sailors and
the main purpose of their detail was to re-
lieve the Baltimore and San Francisco,
when relieved, to be docked and overhaued.
1t would seem. therefore, that che govern
mont docs not care to make any belligerent
demonstrations toward Chill, but prefers
to show it's displeasure through diplomatic
channels.

Of ths Mckinley Act, Contained
in a Briet
omission or the Tobacco Rebate
Clause Not a Matter OF
Consequence.
bounty and Reciprocity Clauses Not Con-,
sidsred ncenstitutlonal-Tho Oifsass
Of the Chilian Mob.

WASHINGTON, Oct. M.-Ths brief for the
United States in tho cases OF certain inn
porters, in which the constitutionality OF
khe Mckinley tariff law Is involved, has
bsen prepared by the attorney general.
appellants contend that tho law is uncon-
etitutional because Of the omission Of the
tobacco rebate clause in the bill as signed
|by the president after il was agreed to In
conference and because it contained
The bounty and reciprocity provisions.
Concerning the FIRST contention the
attorney general traces the course
|of the law through both houses,
approved by the president. and deposited
with the secretary OF state. This is the
most appropriate evidence of which the
court may take judicial notice in consider
ling the existence and contents Of the law and
IL complete and regular is not impeached by
entries upon legislative journals or other
evidence inconsistent Herewith. In the
case at bar the journals do not show any
discrepancy between the bill as passed and
~ approved. Concsding, however, the At
|torney general says. that the tobacco re-
bnte section was omitted from the bill after
passage and before approval by the presi-
dent, ~ alleged, this act would not render
invalid the remainder Of the bill which did
pass both houses and was approved by the
president, for the reason that the rebate
section and approved bill were separable
and independent Of each other.
Concerning the sugar bounty clause the
attorney general says it was for the pur-
pose Of encouraging the production of raw
sugar in this country. Counsel, he says,
assign the increase of duty upon woolsns,
silks and cottons to ths necessity for addi-
tionnl revenues to pay the sugar bounty.
There is no warrant for this assertion. The
question of the validity Of bounties is az
old AZ that of the protective tariff, and haa
been answered in the same way by constant
legislation and the acquiesoence of the
pe0ple-as old 40 the nation itself, which
has sanctioned both direct and indirect
hounties. The reciprocity clause
the attornsy-gener says, could moi
have bsen intended to increase revenue
It's conditional operation precludes any
such idea. II is wholly independent OF any
other clause in the bill and the passage O
failure to pass had no bearing whateve
upon the passage Of the remainder. Th'
clause is constitutional. II is not = dslega
tion Of legislative power. to the president
but is only legislative direction by whicl
the alternative provision OF the existing
law may bs made applicable to happeningi
of fact, the existence which is to be deter
mined by the president.
