ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 5.-The A. r. u,
Eugene " Debs and others, defendants
in the injunction cases growing out of

That no act of congress authorizes
any action by the United States against
persons with whom it has no contractual
relations in that regard, to enjoin the
obstruction or retarding of the United

no power or authority so to proceed.
That no act of congress authorizes an
action or proceeding in equity by the
United States against those not com.

interference with, or destruction of
trade or commerce among the several
states and the United States has no
power or authority so to proceed.
That the court has no power to en-.

That any act of congress purporting
to give court of equity power to en-.
join any offense against the penal laws
of the United States is in conflict with
the fifth and sixth amendments to the
constitution of the United States.

Impossible to Say How Many Are Dead,

there be any accurate statement until
parties OF searchers are sent out from
the railroads at intervals of every mile
or two and a thorough patrol of the
burned district made.

Woman Inventors Prayer to Congress.
A unique petition has turned up on
the house side among some old papers.
The memorialist is woman, and she
asks congress- to appropriate $500 to en-
able her to perfect and place upon the
market sundry inventions, which she
lacks means to secure patents upon.
She says: IT have asked assistance from
most every one thought most likely to
aid. I began ON the common liner, went
ON to the thousanders, then to million
aires, governors and the president-not
the present president-but ! asked
Brother Arthur. They all paid as deaf
am ear to It as the Alps would to tho
chirp Of q snowbird. She asks con-
gress to ''look into the patent office
treasury and see II you can find an idle
$500 that is doing no one any good.

Is a Frog a Fish9

Is frog fish? This is the problem
which the officials of the Dominion fish
cry department have recently had to
consider. Petitions were forwarded to
the department from the inhabitants OF
Northumberland, Ont, praying for q
close season for frogs. A lucrative trade
in the shipment OF frogs legs had been
done in that county, but it was discov-
cred that the very time when the frogs
are spawning is one when the greatest
havoc is wrought among them. Posi-
bly, change will be made in the fishery
laws so as to embrace frogs. The officers
say that in their embryotic stage frogs
are certainly fishes, but later on they
take an amphibious character. hall

A train on the Eastern Minnesota

fire reached there The rushing OF the
people after the train caused the con-

400 people crowded into the cars, all
they would hold, and were taken
away for safety. Neither river nor

are constantly turning up. There were
at least 5000 people in the burned dis

and injured will run up to 400 or 500.
AS for the loss of property, it is inn
possible to make even an approxima-

The first relief party went to Hinck-

o'clock Saturday night.
Fire was raging everywhere along
the track, and the train was obliged to
proceed slowly.
The sight as Hinckley was approached
was appalling in the extreme. On all
sides could be seen the dead and charred
bodies Of horses, cattle, deer, wolves
and other animals, and human corpses
were almost as plentiful. The man on
the front handcar, James Hurley, had
to stop the cars every little while to lift

I, Grover Cleveland, President of the

your assumption of the Office of president,

In reply, Mr.. Dole said:
Mr.. MINISTER-It is with sincere graft
fication tnaS have received the informa-
ton that the president of the United
States has confirmed the recognition so
promptly extended by your excellency to
the repu bile of Hawaii
Permit me ON behalf of the Hawaiian

ment expressed by you toward this gov
eminent, and assure you ofour desire that
relations of comfy and of commercial
intercourses which shall be mutual and
advantageous may ever exist between the
two countries. - $50 80
Trouble Brewing for the Government.
The confirmation of the reported
recognition has taken the wind out Of
of the Royalists' sails, and the most
rabid of them acknowledge the cause Of
the ex-queen is now dead.
Slight trouble seems to be brewing in
the government camp, in spite of the
recognition news.
The Schutzen club, an organization
formed of all nationalities, has sent q
set of resolutions to the government
announcing that if some of their MEM
beers are not given government positions
at once, the club as body will with
draw its support from the powers that
be.
