medicines. Postal Inspector Thrsli wrote
her decoy letter, TO which she replied.
and she was indicted on ner reply. ThraIl
used ficticious name.
Judge Beliinger held that the alleged
improper letter of Mrs Adams, being ad-
dressed 10 fictitious name and no such
person being in existence, IL had not con-
veyed and could not convey information
10 such person. 1t was also held that the
postal inspector was not engaged In this
case In the detection OF crime. but in se-
curing the commission of one by means Of
a decoy letter. encouraging Mrs. Adams
to use the mails for an improper purpose.
and that the courts had never gone 50 far
as to assist government officials in secar-
ing the conviction OF persons deeoyed into

TO the treasury department this afternoon

ciined TO say anything whatever on the

learning OF the contents of the dispatch.
The feeling OF the knights Of Labor and
labor unions generally on the bond quss-
fion Mas known 10 be unfavorable. as Was
shown by their passing resolutions against

that the secretary has nothing more than

think in the least degree probable II be-
heved that no delay would be occasioned by
these threatened legal proceedings. as even
temporary injunction doubtless would
be denied.
The Populisss of the house know moth
ing about the injunction against the bond
issue. Jerry Simpson says he will have
no hand in il. but will be glad II il is
true. Representative Cuiberson. Of Texas,
chairman OF the judiciary COMMITTEES, says
that there is no doubt OF the power of
Secretary Carlisle to issue bonds for the
purpose of the resumption act. The gen.
erai opinion among lawyers of the house
Is that the proceedings would have no
standing in court
Carlisle's mail today brought a number
OF additional offers TO take bonds. The
prices offered are regarded generally as

however. and TO prevent them from over

ABOUT THE EXPOSITION.
Earnest Advocates Before the Senate
Committee in Washington.

Committee in Washington.
ATLANTA, July 20.-There seems to be
little doubt that the advocates of the
Cotton States and International exposi-
ton appropriation clause to the sundry
civil bill will get all they want from the
senate committee.
A special from Washington to local
paper says:
Senators Gordon and Walsh and Cap
tain Howell appeared before a subcom-
mittee of the state appropriations COM
mittee, consisting of Senators Cockrell,
German and Allison and made an argu-
ment in favor of the Atlanta exposition
bill. The committee gave them 10 min
utes each and all three made strong ar
guments III favor of the appropriation.
After hearing the main argument,
Senator CoclTell evidenced much inter
est in the matter and asked many quas-
tions. He wanted to know # the expo
sition company could get re> ~ in time.
When assured that it could and with
the government participating in the ex-
position it was certain that many for
eign governments would take part in it,
he asked Captain Howell and the two
senators if they would have any obiec-
ton to an entire change i'll the form of
the bill
Captain Howell said they cared moth
ing particularly about the form of the
bill so long as it provided for the appro-
priation for a government building and
exhibit. Senator Cockrell then said he
thought the committee would have to
change the form of the bill, as it was
too long in its present form to be incOr-
porated i'll the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill.
This was taken by the Georgians to
mean that the committee would certain
ly incorporate the appropriation Of $780,
900 i'll the bill.
