Among the many curious questions which are

iion Of the Government Of an Oriental dependency
by a civilized and Western State, is one that Is
now confronting VI. Gladstones Cabinet. num-
her Of men have been arrested and brought 10
trial before the Ango-ndian tribunals OF the
State Of Jlwar for the assassination OF the Prime
Minister OF that country. The prisoners, how
eyer have pleaded in defence and furnished IN
dispntable proof that they had been ordered by
the Naharljah. or va,>al King Of Clwar, TO
remove his Prime Minister. aud that they had
merely used their swords" in compliance WITH
His Iiighnoss's orders. The British authorities

New-York tribune., 1892-12-20

DR.. Briggs yesterday finished his summing
up, discussing the questions of Scripture au-
thcrty and progressive sanctfcaton. He then
claimed that the prosecution had no right TO
make an answer to his statement, and pressed
his point of order until Oh appeal from the
modeiator's decision he was beaten by large
majority. it is expected that two days will
be consumed in the closing argument for the
prosecution, after which the consideration of
the case in private session will begin. As each
member will have the right to speak then
there is no likelihood Of an immediate decision.
4 compromise has been reached in reference
to the two Central Park museums and the
amount of money they should draw from the
city treasury. The Museum OF Art is to re-
ceive $4,000 for the coming year, and the
Museum of Natural History, S65, 600. 4 larger
sum for the former was agreed upon by the
Park Commissioners but this included a
considerable amount for additional help in the
new north wing (Which may not be opened next
year), the Beard of Estimate felt justified in
making reduction. One feature Of the COM
premise is that the pay days at both museums
be restored. This will not interfere to any
appreciable extent with the publics use of
them, and will probably not meet with any
important objection
The question Of opening the Worlds Fair on
SUNDAYS will take on a novel form in few
days. when an application will be made to the
courts for an injunction TO restrain the directors
from closing the gates on that day. This
movement is said to be backed by prominent
l,s;ross ,nen who claim that Jac kson Park
belongs to the people of Chicago and that their
right to use and enjoy it cannct be abridged on
Sunday or any other day. OF courss 4 the

For some days past there has been a grea
slaughter Of cats in the treasury depart
ment ct Washington. Some years ago there
was q good many mice about the building
and few cats we're introduced 10 keep
them down. The cats thrived In their new
home, and they multiplied so rapidly that
they had become more Of a nuisance than
the mice. They roanled all over the big
building from the sJbterrauean coin vaults
to the file rooms ia the attic. They would
steal luncheons carried to the department by
the clerks and were generally in the way
1t was finally determined TO clear them out,
and number OF box traps were secured
and set IN different parts of the building
The cats were taken alive and then
drowned. In all seventy-dve of the felines
have been killed, and it is believed the
building is completely cleared OF them.

from Fort Sill, |. T.. with one Maurice
Howard who is charged with the murder
o. a colored woman at Mt. Holly. n. j.,
nearly two years ago, The murder was
committed for the purpose of getting pos
session of some money the coiored woman
was supposed to possess which, did not
amount to more than forty-iye or fifty
dollars. Tbs murder was II horrible one,
the head being hacked all to pieces with II
Ratchet and the body thrown into mill
dam and sunk to the bottom with wagon
wheel. The accidental bursting of the dam
few weeks after the murder was commit
ted unmasked the crime as it was thought
until then that the Missing eolored woman
was visiting sister in PHILADELPHIA
The absence of Howard from the coun-
try and reported intimacy existing be-
tween him and the colored woman. SUI
gested the,dea that he was the murderer
He was tracked to Pittsburg and then To
Joplin, Mo then TO KIBgisher and finally
to Fort Sill where he was engaged as
wood-chopper in the government con-
tract He positively denied that he was
ever in New Jersey, but Detective Parker
is confident that he has the right man.
Howard is n hard looking customer, He
is about 81 years old and about seven
eighths white. The governor of New
Jersey had standing offer of s. 900 for
his arrest and conviction.
