WON'T PAY SUGAR sovNrlEs
Secretary Carlisle Says. He Ought to But
Can't.

Can'Es
Washington, Sept. 15.-Secretary
derson, declining to pay any sugar
bounties since the date Of the new tar
ID act. The secretary says he has ar
rived at the conclusion that such pay
ment cannot be made without further
legislation by congress. After quot
ing from the act Of October !, 1880.
the secretary says:
''This provision confers the only au-
thority heretofore possessed by the
treasury department to pay bounty
for the production Of sugar, and con-
tains the only appropriation made by
congress. The sugar for which bounty
is now claimed was all produced while
this statute remained in force, and
some Of the claims were actually ad-
justed and allowed by the proper ac-
partment before the 25th Of August,
1894, when the Wilson act took effect.
'sThe question presented for consid-
Grafton Is not whether the producers
Of sugar have or have not a valid
claim against the government for the
bounty which had accrued before the
repeal, but whether the secretary of
the treasury now has authority to pay
1t. No money can be drawn from the
treasury except in pursuance of an
appropriation by law, 1t follows that
If congress has repealed the appro-
priation made by the act Of October
1, 1890, the authority of the secretary
of the treasury to pay any bounty for
the production Of sugar Of any kind
under said act is determined. The
sugar for which bounty was claimed
was produced under that act and the
claims are made under that act.
II do not think the word hereafter
as used in paragraph 1872 can be held
to relate only to the production Of
sugar, 30 as to prohibit the payment OF
bounty only on sugars hereafter pro-
duced. The entire provision for the
allowance and payment of bounty is
repealed, and in addition, congress has
seen proper to declare in express
terms that it shall be unlawful to pay
any bounty after the act took effect.
''For the reasons thus briefly indi-
Gated, l am constrained to decline to
make payment upon any of the pend
ing claims"

SUIT AGAINST PULLMAN.
Quo warranto ProosedinEs Begun In tn,
Chicago Courts.

Quo warranto ProceedinEs Begun In tho
Chicago Courts.
Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE Pullman quo
warranto proceedings were brought In
to court to-day and Attorney General
Maloney was given leave to file his in
formation against the Pullman COM
pany. without objection from the coun-
sci for the Pullman company.
The matter was brought up before
Judge Gibbons before whom 1t was set
a week ago.
To the surprise of those present, At
torney Runnells, representing the COM
pany, did not oppose the filing Of the
information. 1t was understood that
the Pullman company would oppose
the filing of the information with
strong legal fight. Mr.. Runnels, how
ever, told the court, after Mr.. Maloney
had made the request for the filing OF
the information, that he would not
make any legal objections to its being
filed, He said that he would enter bis
appearance instanter to the informa-
tion IL the court would allow him 30
days in which to answer the informa-
tion. To this Mr.. Maloney would not
agree, but Attorney Runnells persisted
that he must have sufficient time given
him to fully consider the information
and prepare his case. Judge Gibbons
suggested that twenty days would be
ample, and the court allowed the de-
PENDANTS this time, making the answer
returnable on October 8. The attorney
general filed his information this after
noon,

sweden and Norway Must sepersts or

Stockholm, Sept. Skiing Oscar has
iust left for Norway. 1t is believed
his majesty's presence in Christiana
MT this critical period will gain many
friends for the conservatives.
There is probably no nation more
patiept and forbearing than Sweden,
or. in other words, more slow to feel
humiliation; but everything has q
limit, and that limit has now been
reached. Your correspondent does not
write this as his own belief, but bases
his statement upon the many inter
views he has had with prominent peo-
pie both in Stockholm and Gothen-
burg.
Sweden has only one opinion, and
that is the Norwegian Radicals have
gone too far. Norway, although the
much smaller country, asks for equal
rights with Sweden. The demand
would be fair If Norway would also
agree to fulfill the corresponding du-
ties.

people have much freer constitution

but without avail. 1t is said that the
Louisville and Nashville and Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroads put up $10,-
900 to aid him in carrying the district,
but he is certainly beaten.
Corrected returns which are expect
ed tomorrow will probably vary but
little from these figures.
The precinct returns received by the
Courier-Journal showed the total vote
In the district to have been: Owens,
3,407, making Owens plurality 415,
and the majority In the district against
Breckenridge 1892.
To-night's dispatches have not al-
tered these figures except in Bourbon
county, where Breckinridge's plurhli-
ty should have been placed at 152 In
stead Of 121; d difference of 81 votes.

With the saloons closed, the women
praying and the best influences all
aroused, there was a quiet election,
with excitement and bitter feeling at
their highest pitch.
Breckenridge absolutely refuses to
talk. The most thorough investigation
tonight failed to find shadow Of
ground for the rumor that he would
contest Owens election. Everybody
Is thoroughly tired of the fierce con-
test that terminated at yesterdays
primaries. To contest the election
would be to prolong the struggle. The
probabilities, therefore, seem to be
against the contest. j..
1t is believed by many well-posted
Owens men that Breckenridge Will
contest the election, but he declines to
talk for publication.
The official count will be held at
Frankfort tomorrow, and as a ma

will be taken of every contested vote

Carson, New, Sept. Ex-senator John
p. Jones of Nevada has been requested
by the Republican state central COM
mittee to resign his seat in the United
States senate, to which he was elected
by the Republicans.
This request is made in long letter
which was drafted by Chairman Tren
nor Coffin, and approved by the state
central committee at meeting held
in this city. The letter exhaustively
reviews Senator Jones' letter Of Aug.
20 to the former chairman of the COM
mittee, Enoch Strother, in which Jones
announces that he has left the Repub-
lican party to join the Populists, and
severely criticises his course Of ac-
tion. The main points Of the letter
are as follows:
"You say that you have not changed
your principles. Well and good. Then
1t follows that you have merely chang
yourself Republican you will here
after term yourself Populist. Do
the shining examples Of Populist in
fluence conspicuous among others,
that Of your own colleague) with
which you are daily and hourly con-
frouted in the senate, justify the be-
lief that such change will add to
your prestige and power as a member
of that body?
do not the cases of Sumner and
Schurz and Turnbuli and many others
furnish the fiost painful reminders
that the day upon which brilliant
and distinguished party leader backs
away from the organization In which
he has won all his fame marks the be-
ginning of his political decline? Can
you reasonably expect different re-
sult2
"But by what mental process you ar
rive at the conclusion that the great
principle involved requires you to
part company with the Republican
party of Nevada, your letter entirely
fails to disclose.
"You concede that we are true to the
cause of silver. Then why do you
abandon us? II we are true. to that
yer, why does not devotion to that
principle Of which you write so elo-
Quently, require you to remain true
to the United States? Not only have
we been true to the cause of silver,
but we have been true to every other
great principle that you hold dear, and
more than all, we have been fidelity
itself to you. Then we ask again, why
have you abandoned us2
"The silver party does not accept
your name, while the Populist party
does not accept your creed, so that
upon every recognized political prin-
ciple you are literally left without a
party in the state of Nevada.
1.-THE publication of your letter has
not caused even n waver in our ranks
and no detection of any leader, how
ever great and distinguished, will
cause them to swerve hairs breadth
from what they believe to be their
duty.
"In conclusion, we desire to remind
you that you were elected to the Unit
ed States senate as a Republican Icy
the Republican party. In the strictest
sense the office is a political one, and
the Republican party is entitled to rep
resentation for the full term OF SIX
years from the 4th day of March, 1884.
As you now announce that you can no
longer act with n party that elected
you, every consideration Of propriety
and delicacy requires you to resign. In
the name of the Republican party OF
Nevada we respectfully request yo-
to do So"
