TERRELL'S THREAT WINS.

CoNsrANTINoPLE, Feb. 12.-United
States Minister Alex. w. Terrell, after
taking 4 vigorous stand in the matter
and threatening to ask the United States
government to send one or more war
ships to Iskanderum, Northern Syria
has succeeded in obtaining the release
Of one of two Armenians, natural
lied Americans, who have been i'm
prisoned there for some time Minister
Terrell was only informed of the arrest
of the two naturalized Americans after
they were in prison for about two
months, and he immediately demanded
their liberation. The Porte contended
that they were Turkish subjects and
announced its determination to
maintain it's right to keep them
in prison pending their trial for high
treason. The United States minister
replied that if they were not released
within a given time he would ask the
United States government to send two
warships to Iskanderum with instruc-
tons to compel the authorities to re-
lease them.

OLD COURT RULING.
President and Federal Supreme Court Ex-
6mDt from the Income Tax,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8.-The inter
esting discovery is made that President
Cleveland nor any justice of the SUI
preme court will pay anything to the
government under the Democratic in
come tax bill. Under the measure
should it become law, Mr.. Cleve-
land would apparently be called up
on to pay a yearly tax of 2 per cent.
on $46, 900; but one clause of the federal
constitution provides that the compen-
sation of the justices of the United States
supreme court shall not be diminished
during their terms of Office, and that the
Presldent's compensation shall not
be increased or diminished during
his term. In view of the con-
stltutional provisions an inquiry has
arisen as to the power of Congress to
make an income tax applicable to these
high officers of the government. The
inquiry into this question has developed
some interesting information, the tenor
of which is that the President and
Judiciary would be exempt from paying
the tax. On February IS, 1868,
Chief Justice fancy, of the supreme
court, wrote q carefully prepared
letter to Secretary Chase relative
to the income war tax. This letter is
ON file among the records of the clerks
office of the supreme court. The Chief
Justice called attention to the clause of
the constitution referred to and said of
the icnome tax: "The act in question, as
you interpret it, diminishes the COM
pensation of every judge 8 per cent,
and if it can be diminished to
that extent by the name of a tax it may
in the same way be reduced from time
to time at the pleasure of the legisla-
ture. | regard an act of
Congress retaining in the treasury
portion Of the compensation Of the
judges as unconstitutional and void"
Chief Justice Taney's letter seems to
have had it's effect, for after the war,
when William A. Richardson, now chief
justice of the court of claims, was the
secretary of the treasury, there was re-
funded the money which had been
withheld from the salaries Of the Judi
ciary under the income tax.

BIG DAMS SIDE RESTS.
asst Witness for the Defense in the Cronin
Case Called Today.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 9.-The defense in
the trial of Dan Coughlin for the MUIR
der of Dr.. Cronin rested it's case to-
day. Coughlin did not take the stand.
He would have been unable to answer
certain questions the state would GER
tainly have asked, and the attorneys
for the defense decided that his 81 do
not remember" would prejudice his
case more than would his failure to take
the stand.
After the hearing of some unimport-
ant testimony in the Coughlin case to-
day, Thomas Coughlin, brother of the
defendant, was called to the stand.
Judge Wing began line of question
ing to show that the witness had
sent man named Smith to
the ex-Detective and that it was
lGNan's white horse on the night of
Maya. Assistant States Attorney Bot
tom objected and the jury was taken
from the room while the attorneys
argued the point. After a long and
heated argument Judge Tuthill ruled
the evidence was admissible. Thomas
Coughlan then returned to me
stand. He told Of giving q
man note Of introduction
to Daniel Coughlin in April, 1889. The
man had rented a horse of the witness,
who is a livery man in Hancock, Mich,
and hearing that the latter had brother
in Chicago secured the note of intro
duchon which was written on the back
Of business card. The witness de-
scribed the man as clean shaven, cross
eyed, and weighing about $50 pounds.
This description tallies with that given
by the defendant. On cross-examina-
ton Mr.. Coughlin said he is a member
Of the Clan-Na-Gael but denied any ac-
quaintance with Martin Burke.
At the conclusion of the witness
testimony Judge Wing announced that
he desired to introduce in evidence the
verdict on former trial, and then rising
said: "Gour honor, we rest our case"
\ murmur of disappointment ran
through the court ROOM as number of
the spectators had expected to hear
the defendant testify. The states at
torneys stated that they would begin
their rebuttai testimony at the after
noon session and recess was taken.

FRENCH TROOPS SLAUGHTERED.
OfficiaI Report on the Battle Near Tim

OfhciaI Report on the Battle Near Tim
PARIS, Feb. Git is officially stated
to-day that the French forces suffered
a serious defeat at the hands of the
natives near Timbuctoo. Several Off
GERS and large number of the troops
were killed.
The governor of the Soudan has tele-
graphed that Col. Bonnier's column left
on December l from Timhuctoo
on a reconnaissance and that the
column was surprised while asleep
when about three DAYS march
from Timbuctoo. The success of the
Tuaregs is said to have greatly eucour-
aged the other native tribes, and the
route of the French was mostly diff
cult, as they were continually har-
assed in their retreat. Upon reach
ing Timbuctoo the commander of
the French forces there decided
that it was advisable to prepare for the
worst, and steps were immediately
taken to throw up entertainments in an
ticipation of an attack in force upon the
part of the natives. The latter were
said to oe mastering their forces and to
be preparing for combined onslaught

on the ground here about four inches Of
ice, snow and slush, which has prac-
ideally interrupted all traffic. TeIe-
graph, telephone and electric wires are

from the live current have been re-

man beings have been injured. Reports
received here from points in Southern

CHICAGO, H., Feb. IA blizzard o
tie most approved pattern with snow,
steet and an energetic wind, swept
down OH Chicago last night and to-day
ragged with constantly increasing vio-
hence. Great snowdritts blocked the
streets, suburban trains were delayed,
and snow SWeepers were kept lncessant-
" in use to prevent stoppage of the
street car lines, traffic on which
was badly. delayed The blizzard
is the most severe that has
visited Chicago for many years. At
noon the wind was blowing at the rate
of seventy miles an hour with indica-
tons that the storm would continue
through the night with the coolest
weather of the year. All incoming
trains were from an hour to two hours
late and the roads were full of fine,
cutting snow. At noon the street
car service was demoralized only an
occasional car managing TO get
through the heavy snowdrifts. On
the Lake Shore road trains were report
ed as more or less delayed from the
west with prospect of serious block
AIDES before nighttall.
The wind rushed around the down
town corners with terrific force,
carrying pedestrians oft their
feet and injuring many. Mrs
Jane Brahany was hurled against
fire plug at Dearborn and
Van Buren, streets and fatally injured
Many carriages on Michigan Avenue,
where the wind sweeps straight off the
lake, were overturned, but none of the
occupants were seriously injured. Lake
Michigan was dashed into fury and the
waves rushed over the breakwater and
swept clear across the Illinois Central
Railway tracks into Lake Front Park.
So severe was the storm that at the
public schools only about one-third of
the pupils were present. At many of
the schools, teachers were absent as
we'll as scholars. At the Hammond
School but 80 pupils were present out of
900 and reports from other schools
showed a similar condition.
Business at the stock Yards was prac-
ticaily suspended. Few people were
about the yards and no buyers put in
an appearance. One of the large obser-
walton windows in the Leland Hotel
was blown in and several guests narrow
ly escaped injury By the falling glass.
All of the mail trains coming into
chicago were seriously delayed. Sew
eral deliveries were abandoned and the
mail service generally demolished.
Telephone and telegraph wires suffered
severely. Many wires were torn from
their fastenings, poles were blown down
and many crossed currents injured the
