WILSON SEES THE PRESI-
DENT.

WASHINGTON, August 4, 1884, Chairman
Wilson, of the House Ways and Meant Com
mittee, was with the President from $50 to
1920 this morning. The conduct of nego-
tiations to bring about final agreement on
the tariff so far as regards the relations Of
the Administration to the measure, seems to
be in the hands of Secretary Gresham, Colo
mel Lamont and Chairman Wilson, who, late
last night and again this morning, have been
acting in close conjunction.
The Louisiana delegation has emphatically
protested against the new sugar schedule.
Senator Caffery called on Senator Jones to-
day and denounced the schedule as being
antagonistic to sugar growers. Caffery de
ciares the Lou isiana delegation win oppose
the proposed sugar schedule.

RED BANK, Aug 4, 1894.-John Connors,
a farmer residing at Morrisville, a small
hamlet west of this place, shot his wife,
seriously injuring her, and then killed him
self
Of late Connors and his wife had frequent
ly quarrelled, and Connors has had four war
rants issued for her husbands arrest for as
saulting her. Connors, however,
managed to elude the officers
and was not arrested. he would get
drunk and beat her, and on several occasions
he threatened to kill her. Mrs. Connors
became alarmed at his threats and went
over to neighbor, Mrs Stillwrgons to stay.
Last night, at about o'clock, Connors
secured a gun and went over where
his wife was stopping. Mrs. Connors was
sitting in window when her husband fired
at her wounding her in the head. She was
seriously but not fatally wounded. Officers
were sent for to Red Bank. but when they
arrived at Morrisville Connors could not be
found.
Early this morning pool of blood was
discovered near he woods, a short distance
from Connors' house, and the officers fol-
lowed the trail of blood which led to Con-
nors' home. Connors was found in bed
dead He had cut his throat near the woods,
walked home and went to bed where he
died before the arrival of the officer.
Mrs. Connors will probably recover.

THE LELAND STAMFORD CLAIM.
Suit to BE Brought to Determine the
Goxernunant,s Right.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. A, 1S94.-The
.sChronicle" says that although the
claim of the United States against the
Leland Stanford estate for $4,000, 600 does
not become due until January is, 1895,
there is every reason to believe that pro
in the State courts to collect alleged in
debtedneSs will begin at a much earlier
date. When, few days ago, Mrs. stan
ford, by her attorneys, notified the Gov
ernment that it's, claim against the es-
tate had been rejected, it was generally
believed that no further action would be
until thefirst bonds ofthe Central Pa
ciic Company had become due. Unttli
that time the Government would have
no legal right to enforce its claims.
Since that time, however it is said
that Mrs. Stanford has submitted to the
United States, its representatives. Dis
trict Attorney Charles A. Carter,
proposition for friendly suit. The
Government. is asked to bring its suit
without waiting until January Is, 1895,
when a part of the claim will be due.
In the event of this proposition be-
ing accepted the administrators of the es-
tate will waive the right to. object on
the grounds that the claim is not due.
This will be to all intents and purposes
a suit to quit title. The administrators
are exceedingly anxious to have the
matter cleared up. Mrs. Stanford and
her attorneys are confident that the
governments claim is wholly unfounded,
and that a Judgment in it's favor will
never he granted.

tiaI Disgrace to the Army.
WASHINGTON, Aug. A, 1S94.-The accurate
story of the final disposition of the cele-
brated Nancy court martial case. in respect
to which some incomplete details have been
published, is as follows: The papers have
been endorsed by the Acting Secretary of
War as follows:-
sBy direction of the President the find
ings and sentence of the court were dis
approved"
further action whatever viii be taken by
the Government.
Lieutenant James A. Fancy, after being
acquitted of the charge of numbering Cap
tain Hedburg, was tried by court martial
on the charge of conduct unbecoming an
officer in assa llting a superior officer
and in writiag o threatening let
ter to superior officer, the
latter being the second specification,
the shooting being the first. On the first
specification the court found a verdict of not
guilty, but it was decided that the second,
of writing a threatening letter, was proven,
and the sentence imposed was public repri-
mand.
The Judge Advocate general OF the army
and other reviewing officials deemed the ver-
dict ON the first specification contrary to the
evidence and the sentence altogether in
sufficient. but as no benefit to the service
could be imagined by further proceed
ings it was determined by the President to
disapprove the whole matter, thereby re-
fiecting strongly ON the court and discoun-
tenancing the system which permits such
conditions in the service as adduced ly the
testimony There VIII be no reprimand
other than that implied on all concerned by

fact that the new Commissioners have given

NO SALMON IN NEW ZEALAND.

The true salmon has never yet been sue
cessfully domiciled in New Zealand waters.
Why not? Because it is said, the New Zea-
land seas do so abound in voracious fish,
barracuda sharks and the like that the sal
mon has no chance of returning undevoured
from his first visit to the salt water. But if
trout can pass through such an ordeal un-
scathed, why cannot salmon! 1t is possible
that the trout do not venture to sea sosearly
as the salmon, but only when they have at
tanned the years of discretion and are able
to take care of themselves. There must be
some reason, could one but discover it A
few wears ago there was much talk of trying
to solve this problem in New Zealand by an
experiment on a grand scale, to wit, by
turning down quarter of a million salmon
fry at once into an unstocked river and
awaiting results. Whether this plan has
been put in prac ice or not we are unable to
say; the experiment would be interesting,
though expensive, and should lead to some
decisive conclusion. But whatever the fate
of the true salmon, it seems to be possible,
nay, likely that the English trout in New
Zealand may develop, SO to speak, salmon

CHINESE RETIOENOE.
Nothing known In Washington of
Changss Hebuke.

ShanSSS 1EeDuAes
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 1894.-At the
Chinese legation this morning it was stated
that no dispatches had been received from
the home Government for two days. No
official information Of any kind, it is ASSERT
ed, has reached Minister Yang Yu on the
subject of Lii Hung Chang.
Diplomats familiar with Eastern usages
saw, however, that even if the news OF Ii
Hung Chang's alleged degradation had
reached the Chinese Minister, his comment
ing upon that fact, or referring TO it in any
way, or permitting any one of his sixteen
attaches to do so, would be likely to place
his own head in danger-phy yslcally as well
as officially.
Thus far the Chinese Legation has adj
mitted receiving only one despatch and that
in relation to a land victory over the
Japanese at place called Yashan, which
doesnot seem to have any known geograph-
ical existence and where it is alleged two
thousand japanese, out OF total force OF
{, 900 now in Corea were killed. The Con
trast between the Western tendencies OF the
Japanese and the retrogade policy of China
is particularly noticeable III the freedom
with which the reports of the first govern
| ment communicate all the news they receive
and discuss the progress of events, and the
absolute non -communicatiyeness OF the
Chinese representatives.
Most curious feature of all is the fact that
| through these stirring events the accredited
representatives to the United States, OF
Corea, the country that is being fought
| over, hear nothing, say nothing, and ap-
parently do nothing.
The Japanese legation received today
| cablegram delayed i'll transit from Japanese
| Minister of Foreign Affairs. stating that on
| August /, an Imperial reseript was issued by
| the japanese Emperor formally declaring
| war against China. This was supplemental
| to the written notice given two days
previously to the foreign representatives
at Toxic, that state of war existed between
China and Japan.
| Officials of the legation, in the absence of
| positive information on the subject dlscredlt
| the statement that Japan has consented to q
| JOINT occupation of the treaty ports of
| both Japan and China by the great
powers They point out many
| considerations tending to show the lmpos-
sibility of any such agreement having been
entered into. For the great powers to take
| forcible possession of the ports would be for
| them to assume all responsibility for
| the landing of munitions of war
| by either of the combatants and IN point OF
| fact would be to undertake an intervention
of character which the Japanese officials
suggest, is entirely foreign to the policy of
| the United States.
| 1t is stated at the Legation that Japan has
| from the first received in favorable man
ner the propositions of the friendly powers
| for an amicable adjustment of tt contro-
versy, but that those propositions h 9 been
consistently ignored by China.

POISONING BY THE PLl rYPUs.

"The platypus (Ornithorhynchf anatinus)
has always been most interesting animal,
occupying as it does an intermediate position
between reptiles, birds and mammals; on the
hind limb of the male is a hallow curved
spur communicating with a gland in the leg
in much the same way as the poison fang of
a snake is connected with the poisoning pro-
ducing salivary gland. At the last meeting
of the Victorian Branch of the British Medi-
cal Association DR.. Lalor made prelimi
nary communication suggestive of the fact
that the gland of the platypus also secretes
poison. He narrated the case of a man who
was wounded in the hand by this spur of the
platypus and felt stung. Cellulitis of the
arm followed and acute blood poisoning.
The subject is to be further investigated,
but, of course, it is quite possible that the
symptoms can be accounted for by the inocu-
lation Of simple wound with the ordinary

than in a walking state, it stands to reason
