THE INDICTMENT QUASHEn.
Reservation Saloons Will Exist
Interesting Proceedings In
the City Court

Yesterday afternoon the case Of
the city of Waco VS.. Jown Dowd,
James Harmon and William Foster
was called in the Mayors court. De.
PENDANTS were charged with violating
the ordinance prohibiting the sale of
intoxicants within the limits Of tn
reservation. All the afternoon was
consumed in hearing arguments of
counsel for defendants. and at FIVE
o clock the mayor adjourned court
until this morning, when the case wan
again taken up 1t was clearly shows
that the city had no power to prohibi,
the sale of intoxicauts in any particu.
lar locality, notwithstanding the fact
that pubic opinion was in favor Of
the ordinance The indictments we're
quashed by the mayor. The saloons
in the reservation will exist, and the
fiery liquid will be dealt out to all Gus
toners who desire to satiate their
thirst.
In CONVERSATION with a representa-
tive Of THE News, after adjournment
Of court, Mayor McCuloch said: eve
have done all we could to stop the
sale of intoxcants in that locality,
but it has been shown, conclusively,
that while there is power to regulate,
there is not to prohibit. To do that
would be in direct cOnhction with the
prohibition law. A local option law,
applying to that locality, or even the
first ward, in which the reservation is
located, would prove equally invalid,
in that suoh law applies only to
counties, pre- cincts, citi,s and towns
The matter might be brought before
the the legislature, but that would
only resurrect the disgusting reserva-
ton, anti reservation fight"

W. w. Seley.

The announcement of Mr.. w. W.
Seley as a candidate for reelection to
the Office Of City Treasurer appears in
another column. Mr.. Selev has filled
this important position from time
when the city Of Waco was searching
for some one to take charge of the
hole which then represented her
financial condition. The position
pays no salary to the incumbent, its
value to him merely being the use of
such moneys as are on deposit in
sinking and other funds. 1t is urged
by the friends of Mr.. Seley that the
official who has been willing to serve
the people Of Waco at a time when
faithful and efficient service was
needed, aud without cost to them,
should be given the preference over
any and all other asprants.

such Influences a, they could upon
the Twenty.thifd legislature, looking
to the crea ion OF two or more civil
court OF appeal districts in Texas
Our Information leads Us to conclude
that there exists al i'm pera;ive public
necessity for the existence OF these
courts. We are informed tina, there
are something over 60 cases
transferred to the three CIVIL
courts of appeal now in
existence; that it will take these
courts at least the years Of 1898 and
1894 to dispose Of the business trans
ierred to them, and upon VIII CHI they
began work in October. 1892. We
are also informed that the business is
accommodating on them faster than they
are disposing of the old business, so
that on the LIST day Of January, 1895,
as the courts are now organized, they
will be further behind with business
than they are now, making it impossl-
bic to get decision in ordinary cases

CHARGED TO A WOMAN.

1t Is said That the American Wife of Bar
rios Has Caused the Guaternalan Trouble.
A woman again. We learn that the
prompter of the recent revolution in the
republic of Guatemala, through which a
dictatorship has been set up, was an am
bilious woman, the American wife of
General Barrios, d lady whose name Is
not unknown in New York. The enc
mics of Barrios in Guatemala declare
that it was she who induced him to pro-
claim himself dictator, and who is the
author of the arbitrary policy under
which the country is ruled at this time,
and under which the deputies are kept
in prison and the army is held ready for
action and suspected persons are ban
ished, and the people are compelled to
keep as quiet as they can. The enemies
of Barrios say that he has neither the
pluck nor the brains needed for a dc
tator, and that he is merely the tool of
the determined American woman whom
he took to wife.
She may yet u the day in which she
conceived the dictatorship. The an
ti-Barrios Guatemalans are aroused
against her. They denounce her in
whispers. They condemn her in pla-
cards, which are stuck up in the night
time on the dead walls and fences of the
city of Guatemala la Nueva. They get
out circulars, which are surreptitiouslv
printed and secretly distributed, in
which she is characterized as an Gamer
lean interloper." There is no doubt that
she is in danger. If the Constitutional
lists who are lurking around the capital
and On the Salvadorian frontier, stealth
lily preparing to take the field against
the dictatorship, shall overthrow Bar
rios, we cannot say that she will not
suffer as hard a lot as she has been
charged with inficting upon others.
We are surprised at her course. Amer
leans ought to be the champions of dem
ocratic freedom and republican institu-
lions everywhere New York Sun.

His Last Fencing Lesson.

A dispatch from Lyons announces that
a sad accident has occurred at the Mill
tary Medical school there. N. Jourdan,
who was just about to take one of the
highest medical degrees in the school,
was having a fencing lesson from the
maitre d'armes, when during a vigorous
attack by the pupil a short piece broke
off the end of the masters foil. M.
Jourdan, who vas making a lunge, liter
ally spitted himself on the blade. He
went up stairs to his room, fell on the
bed and died in about an hour, in spite
of all efforts to save him. No blame is
attached to the fencing master, as the
accident could not have happened but
for the violence Of his pupils attack.
NJ. Jourdan took the first prize for fenc-
ing last year and was training for a
coming assault at arms .-Foreign Ex-

The Minister and His Suite Live Royalty
In Washington Regardless of Expense.
The o legation has taken three
houses for which the Chinese govern
ment pays 100000 q year. They now
occupy the old Sumner house, which is
an of the Arlington. The United
States paid $500 a day for the board of
the infanta while her suite occupied
these quarters. Yung Yu is paying $500
a day and says he thinks it il very
cheap. While the women are kept in
seclusion, the men have the run of the
house and make themselves thoroughly
at home. A part of the delegation were
once in England and speak the English
language fuently. They have tile free
and easy manner Of the westerrer and
show a disposition to talk to any one
who will listen. The minister himself is
as dark as q sunDurnt mulatto, being at
least three shades blacker than the other
members Of the delegation.
Yung YIN says he is very well pleased
with American cooking, but be has
taken the %precaution to provide himself
with a Chinese cook and has Installed
him in the hotel Kitchen. The legation
eat but little meat, dining chiefly on
vegetables. Yung Tu has never been
out of China before. He was not a man
of the highest rank in China, but like
Ko-Ko, though in a different way, rose
to distinction. He was an official in the
province Of Chin-Kcang which GORE
spends there to the position Of collector
of the Boston port here. Il was strictly
on his merits that he was chosen by the
prime minister to represent the emperor
in this country pending the delicate re
lations between the two nations III con

there are any strained relations existing

American, that being the law of the en-

Every little while conscience stricken
individuals refund to the treasury de-
partment certain sums of money con-
fessed to have been i'll gotten from the
government in various ways. It is as
tonishing that Notwithstanding the thou
sands of dollars that have been sent to
the treasury on this account no special
record has been taken of them; that there
is never proof to those who have thus
squared themselves" that the money
ever reached the proper disposition.
Treasury officials now recognize this
dereliction. and separate accounts will be
kept in future, if for no other purpose
than to enable public officials to vindi-
cate themselves from anonymous assail-
ants who may impugn their trustworthi-
ness.-National Tribune.
