THE WOMAN IN THE MOON.
She May be Seen at the Full Moon With
Great Distinction.

We have all heard a good deal of
the man in the moon, but the idea of
a woman being there is 4 novelty. A
correspondent of the Galveston News,
however, asserts that there is one, and
says that at the full moon she may be
seen, especially with a pair of opera
glasses with startling distinctness. "a
pair of sharp eyes," he says, twill
easily discover in the lower right-hand
quarter Of the moon the head and
shoulders of a beautiful lady, whose
delicate profile, looking toward the
left and centre of the luminary, is
distinctly marked, a profusion of dark,
fluffy hair lying upon the low fore
head and flowing gracefully to the
hack of the small head, where it
seems to be caught up into a loose
knot, with a rose or some other flower
placed just behind the ear. The face
is slightly raised, causing the chin to
project and revealing a throat AMI
shoulders of dazzling beauty"

IAIPORTA.,A CASE.

SOmeLnllS ike IL struggle IOf eXlS-
tence by the interstate commerce com
mission is involved in the Chicago cases
recently before Judge Gresham, and the
NV clerks of the commission are hard
Ut work looking up precedents and ar
guments to sustain their contention that
they have the right to compel the rail
roads to produce their books and an
sWer questions regarding the conduct
of their business. Judge Gresham APP
preciates the Importance of the case and
has asked for further citations before
rendering his decision. 1t will be APP
pealed TO the supreme court in any
event, and the final decision is not like
ly to be made for year, but Judge
Gresham will give the matter atten-
ton, and his decision is likely to re-
view carefully the principles involved
and the authorities on which they rest.
The commission claims it's powers IN
-
merce act. as amended in 1889. but the
railroads insist that the power confcr-
red in the act to appeal to the courts
to compel witnesses to testify is in CON
fict with the separation Of powers pre-
scribed by the constitution, which does
not permit executive boards to eXer-
else judicial functions
If it be true that the commission can
not issue subpoenas and compel wit
ncsses to give evidence, then it is diff
cult to see how numerous other execu-
tive boards and officials can continue
t exercise the powers conferred on
them by statute. Section 1S4 of the
federal revised statutes authorizes any
head of Il department or bureau lin
which a claim against the United Stat
es is properly pending" to issue a sub
poena for witness, and section 1856
authorizes the courts to enforce obed-
authorizes the courts to enforce ODE
dicnce to the subpoena. Section 4744 of
pension appropriation bill of July %,
1882, authorizes the issue of subpoenas
to witnesses summoned by the COM
missioner of pensions or any officer
of the pension bureau, and section 4vv6
of the revised statutes authorizes sub
poenas to witnesses in patent cases.
1t is possible that Judge Gresham will
draw a distinction between the statutes
referred to and statute regarding the
conecuon of revenue, declared conSti-
tutional by the courts, authorizing suits
to recover legal penalties against wit
ncSSeS who refused to testify. If the
court should make this decision and
overthrow the existing laws regarding
the interstate commerce commission
the commissioner of patents, the COM
missioner of pensions, the inspectors
of steamboats, and revenue officers,
congress would undoubtedly act prompt
~ in passing Il law to authorize these
various executive officers to subpoena
witncS Sos and to prosecute them in the
courts il they failed to respond to the
subpoena.

THE PLOT EXPOSED.
Democrats and Peoples Party Had a
Scheme Of Bogus Assassination


ToFEka, Nov. iS.--A public confession
Of L. s. Harvey, assistant secretary Of the
Peoples party campaign committee was
made public today. Harvey expose plot
arranged in Topeka to have an attemp'
TO assassinate Jerry Simpson. Harvey
saws the parties to the scheme were W. c.
Jones, chairman of the Democratic state
committee Briedenthal, chairman OF the
Peoples party and Jerry Simpson. The
object was to create sympathy for Simpson
and TO aid in his election.
The PLAN says Secretary Harvey,
was to have Simpson return TO his district
and be wayiaid, beaten and bruised in the
pretended effort to assassinate him, letters
TO be found regarding the employment of a
man to murder him, as has been published,
and the whole TO offset the Southern out
RACES and create sympathy for Simpson.
Jerry objected to being beaten and
bruised up. but he was talked out Of his
opinion and agreed to undergo the punish
ment, but insisted that the fellow who did
the pounding must not carry it too far
Mr.. Harvey further says that, lowing to
u blunler of Simpsons district chairman,
the letters, offering 5000 reward to the
man who woold murder Simpson, were
found, and the sham attempt at assassina-
ton was prevented"
When General Weaver was here Chair
man Briedenthal urged Harvey to hire
some one to walk beside Weaver's carriage
and pelt him with eggs so the outrages in
the South might be repeated in Kansas, the
object being to place the blame on the Re-
publicans.
The exposure by Harvey has created a
great deal of excitemen; here and many
threats are made against him.

FALSE REPORTS
On Sealing Industries Fur
nished the United States
BY Ivan Petroff, a Russian, Who
Compiled the Necessary Data.
Enqiand Notified Of Ersor-united States
Placed in Peculiar Position.

wAsntSGroS, Noy. l3.--Ths Post today
publishes an article stating that Ivan Pet
rolf. special agent of the state department
and formerly in the census office, has been
dected in the act Of furnishing false infor-
nation to this government, in relation TO
the seal industry of Alaska, and which was
embodied in the preparation Of the Behring
sea case for arbitration.
The article says that when the state de-
partment begun the task some mouths ago
of preparing the Behring sea ease for arbi-
tration it became necessary 10 secure the
assistance of all experts on the Alaskan and
sealing questions.
Ii was learned that Petroff had taken the
census of Alaska for the United States gov
ernment in 1889 and 1880. and had written
monograph issued by the bureau of statls-
ties for the treasury department on Alaska.
He also assisted Hubert Howe Bancroft in
the preparation of the latter's histor, of the
territory.
Petroff was summoned from the census
bureau to the state department and in
trusted with the examination into and com
pilation of certain facts relating to the seal
ing industry. His work was done in this
city. Some time after he submitted his re-
port to the department. one of the govern
ment's special attorneys while examining
the data discovered an error.
Closer investigation showed that the en-
tire information furnished by Petroff has
been falsifed in manner which left no
doubt of the Justification with wilful in
tent to deceive.
This discovery astounded the state Off
cials. The information had already been
incorporated in the case of this government
as sent to London, and formed part of the
arch upon which the t'nted States claim
rested. The British government was at
once notified that the United States had
been led into errors of statement and was
informed that the correction would be
made when the counter case, as the supple
mentary papers are termed was submitted.
The article further says the discovery
has created considerable excitement in OIL
cial circles. The superinte of the
census has been in conference with the
President. secretary of state and secretary
of interior, regarding his faithless EN-
ployee. The question has arisen, if
Petroff's work is falsihed in one instance,
are not his census figures also unreliable.
This is inquiry that can only be answered
after tedious and perhaps expensive iuves-
tigation. There is no law to meet such a
case as this. and Fetroff will simply lose his
government position, with the knowledge
that he can never re-enter official life.
Petroff is Russian by birth. He lived
in Alaska 40 years and is now 80 years of
age. Upon recommendation of Gen. Fran
els A. Walker he was selected to furnish
Alaskan statistics for the census just CON-
pleted.
Officials of the state department and in
terror department, when shown the article
this evening, affirmed Its correctness but
declined to say anything further.
