County Commissioners After Chi
caQo'S CITY Hall

CHICAGO, March 5.-The Board of Com
missioners oil Cook County, according to
an announcement made to-day, is about to
try to throw the officials and employees of
the city of Chicago out of that portion of
the massive building bounded by Wash
iDgton. La Sale, Randolph and Clark
streets, known as the City Hall. The ac-
ton, the Commissioners say, is to be taken
because the business of both the city ana
county has grown to such an extent that
the county representatives must have more
offices.
Cook County acquired the title to the
ground on which the structure stands by
patent from the State of Illinois in 1881.
In 1858 arrangements were made with the
city OF Chicago for the payment of half the
cost of erecting the courthouse. and ten
years later the city was given quitclaim
10 half the square DOW covered by the
City Hall.
The County Commissioners uuearthed
the act passed by the Legislature in 1851,
which prevents the sale or transfer Of the
land. which they assert nullifes the quit
claim deed. Representatives of the law
department of the city are not, however,
seriously alarmed over the threats of the
County Board and think they can find
some way of maintaining their present DO.
sition indefinitely.

SILVER IN THE SENATE.
Stewart Has an Amendment to the
Bland Bill.

WASHINGTON. March 5.-The Senate
held short session to-day and but little
business of importance was transacted. A
brief debate on silver was precipitsted by
the intention expressed by the Vice-Presi-
dent to refer the Bland seigniorage bill.
which has just been received from the
House, to the Finance Committee.
Stewart of Nevada opposed this DISPOSE
ton Of the bill and asked that it be al
lowed TO lie on the table, subject to being
called up at any time. This was finally
ordered. Stewart at the same time offered
free silver amendment to the bill. The
only other event of interest was the offer
ing by Morgan of Louisiana of a resolution
looking to the appointment of tariff COM
mission, which he offered as an amend
ment TO the tariff bill, and it was referred
t. the Finance Committee.
A number of bills of minor Importance
were passed.
The McGarahan bill was taken from the
calendar. but went over until tomorrow
on an objection from Morrill,. An execu-
tive session OF little more than an hour
was held and a number of nominations

Hepburn (R.) of Iowa declared the late

South paid less than 100000; of the

Republican applause The first proof of
hostility to pensioners by the administra-

Grover Cleveland was President, and sec

the Interior.

TIDE LAND CLAIMS.
States Have a Right TO Control
Their HarbOr Lines.
Decisions of the Supreme Court in
Which the Laws of Oregon and
Washington Are Upheld.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The constitu-
tionality OF the tide water laws of the State
of Oregon was affirmed by the Supreme
Court in passing upon the suit of Charles
W. Sbiveley, plaintiff in error. against
John Q. A. Bowlby and w. w. Parker.
which was a contest over wharfing priv.
leges on the Columbia River at Astoria.
Justice Gray affirmed the decision of rhe
Supreme Court of Oregon. He asserted
when lands were granted under the gen.
eral land laws bordering on navigable
waters no rights to land under water were
given, and such rights depend on the local
laws. Congress never acted on the policy
til at tdewater lands could be given away
piecemeal. but held them for public pur-
poses under regulations which the States
might make.
The claim of the Northern Pacific to con-
troll the tidelands aud harbOr line along its
land grants in the State Of Washington,
near Tacoma. was denied by the Supreme
Court to-day in the decision in the case Of
Prosser and others VS.. the Northern Pa
cifc. Justice Gray, who delivered the
opinion, held the question to be whet ~
the charter giving land grants to rail-
road authorized it to monoDoliZe the bar
Dor. The court held that every State has
the right TO define its harbor lines and
regulate the building upon them, since a
general system is necessary, and private
parties could not be permitted to control
portions of its lines. The injunction
against the Harbor Commissioners asked
for was denied as against public policy.
The lower court. therefore. Is sustained
and the suit dismissed.

was skilled carpenter and seldom out of
a job when there was work. He had nice
little house at Del Monte Grove, an ami
able wife and a beautiful baby, and what
any one would pronounce a good start in
life. What could have induced him to
enter upon such a course of crime. so co.,
trary to all his home teachings and associ-
ations, is the question that astounds his
friends.

ing are the crimes of which he confesses
