If a Mans Testimony Will Tend
to Criminate Himself he Can
Remain Dumb-The Decision
Will Embarrass the Interstate
Commerce COmmiSsiOn.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-It has now be-
come settled law that witnesses can
not be compelled to testify in any crimi-
inal cases where answers might tend to
crimnate them in any way or subject
them to possible future prosecution.
1t is held that the fifth amendment to
the constitution giving persons the right
to refuse to answer questions which
might be used against them in criminal
cases must be construed in its broadest
sense.
Such is the effect OF decision of the
United States supreme court today in
the celebrated interstate commerce case
of Charles Councilman appellant VS..
Frank Hitchcock, marshal of the United
States district court for the northern
district OF Illinois.
The case s one of great interest to rail
road men and has attracted widespread
attention. Counselman was asked
whether he had ever obtained from any
railroad rate ngrain shipments lower
than open rates to all shippers.
He refused to answer on the ground
that it might criminate him, and claimed
the protection of the constitutional guar
antee conferred by the 5th amendment.
Judge Gresham decided against him
and held him in contempt of court tor
refusing to answer questions, and it is
on an appeal from Judge Gresham's or
der that the case decided by the supreme
court today same up.
The courts ruling is that Judge Gresh-
anl : order was erroneous, and that
CounSelman cannot be compelled to tes-
tity.
1t is said that the effect of the decision
by the court that witnesses cannot be
compelled to testify, will seriously ham,
per the interstate commerce commission
in the administration of the interstate
commerce act.
The courts decision was unanimous.

ROCHESTER, Jan. IA fierce fire is
raging here this moment tneon.) The
Hiram Sbley seed house, a ten or eleven
story building, covering nearly a whole

flames.
Nothing but the walls can be seen,

block in the city.
The heat from the ire makes it almost
impossible for the iremen to be of much
use in saying adjoining buildings, and it
is feared other fires will follow.
There is no report as yet of any lives
being lost.

Result of the eInvestixatiOns Made
of the Valparaiso Riot,
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 12.-District At
torney Carter, who has been assisting
Judge Advocate Gen. Ramsey in the
Baltimore investigation at Vallejo, says
"There isno doubt that Riggin and Turn
bull were foully murdered, and the as
saults on the Americans were unprovok-
ed, and many were outrageously treated.
The testimony points very strongly to
the fact that while the attack resulted
from quarrel between Riggin. Talbot
and Chilian sailor, it was seized upon
as a pretext for general attack.
1T was also fully shown that police
and soldiers in Chilian uniforms made
little effort to disperse the crowd and
protect the Americans, and they even
Joined in the assault. Although there
were instances Of arrests made and pro-
lection given to American sailors dur
ing that time, still affirm that Riggin
and Turnbull were foully murdered,

Egypt, was supported in his Office by
English troops tor the greater part of
his reign. He was born in 1852, and
was the oldest son of Ismai Pasha,
whom he succeeded by grace of Eng
land and France, upon the disposition
of his father by those powers, in June
1870. In 1882 Arab Pashi led a mill
tary rebellion against his government
which was suppressed by England
alone, France taking no part in it.
Since then England has administered,
to large extent, the affairs of Egypt,
to the extreme chagrin of France. While
the interests of bondhoders was the
prime cause of the deposition of the ex-
travagant Ismael Pasha, and of the sub
sequent suppression of Arab by Eng
land, incidentally great good to the
Egyptian people has been accomplished
by English occupation, tightening the
burden OF taxation and introducing re-
forms.

Mr.. Dolph, from the committee on coats
defences, reported bill for purchase ofsites
for Notifications, also a bill to provide

fences. Placed on the calendar.
Mr.. Berry, member of the committee,
said he dissented from the latter bill which
carried an appropriation of one hundred
and twenty-three million dollars, extend
ing over period oteleven years. In view
of the fact that the revenues of the gov
ernment are hardly sufficient to meet the
ordinary expenditures, and the further
fact Of the almost universal demand for
relief from excessive taxation, he was
not willing to report in favor of bill
carrying such a very large appropria-
ton.
Mr.. Dolph explained that the appropri-
alton Ill the bill had been reduced to one
hundred millions and thought it best to
make the appropriation III time to be
used during the eleven years, ten millions
Tor the first and nine millions each sue
ceedlng ten years.

committee, concurred with Mr.. Berry.
