ChIoral Found In the stomach.

TACOMA, November 10. - Chemist
Davidson tonight reported to the Coro-
ner that he found chloral in quantity
sufficient to kill in the stomach OF Madi-
son NJ. Bartlett, whose dead body was
found on the sidewalk the morning Of
November 8, Some thought Bartlett
had been murdered, but this clears up
the mystery and leads to the conclusion
that he took an overdose OF the drug be-
fore closing his cigar store to 20 home
early that morning. At The inquest sew
eral witnesses testified that Bartlett
sometimes used chloral and morphine to
produce sleep, and the theory is that he
took the drug that night downtown in
order that lac might sleep as soon as he
reached home. The Coroner's jury,
which adjourned awaiting the chemists
report, will hold its final session to-mor-
row.

THE FOREST FIRES.


Much Property Destroyed and Many
Lives Lost.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 14.-The
forest fires from Arkansas have broken
out in North Mississippi on more ex-
tensive scale. The entire Yazoo delta is
threatened. Memphis is hemmed in on
three sides by vast fires, and it is i'm
possible to enter the city without pass
ing through miles of heated air and
smoke. The fire in Mississippi started
ten miles south of Memphis, and ex-
tends south of De Soto and Tunica coun-
ties to the town of Tunica. Its origin is
credited to a recent visit OF inspection
paid by officials OF the Illinois Central.
The section foreman, anxious to make a
good showing, set fire to the dry grass
along the roadside and soon a conhagra-
ton had spread through the forest.
Plantations have been wiped away with
buildings, fences and crops. A great
deal of cotton is still ungathered, and all
is in the line of flames. There are
rumors of negroes lost in the conhagra-
ton. The Arkansas fires are along the
line of the Little Rock and Memphis
road from the river thirty-one miles in
land. The most destructive fire is in
Lost Swamp twenty-five miles from here.
The fire near Mound City has burned
itself out after doing much damage.
Near Edmondson two negroes, one a
young girl were burned to death in the
swamp. Many bones, said to be human,
have been recovered.

THE ACT INVALID.
The Obligations OF the Arizona Counties
Cannot be Enforced.

Cannot be Enforced.
PHGNIx, A. T., November l5.-The
Republican will publish tomorrow the
substance of a recent decision by the
Supreme Court OF the United States,
which invalidates the Territorial in
debtedness, amounting to $750,000. The
decision was in the case OF Charles Ed
ward Lewis vs. Pima county TO enforce
the collection of 2,250 coupons attached
to $50 bonds issued by the defendant
county in 1883 under an act Of the Leg
islature of that year directing the Board
of Supervisors to issue bonds to the
amount of 100000 in favor OF the Ari-
zona Narrow Gauge railroad. The Leg
islature construed its authority TO enact
such law in spite of the restriction
which confined its appropriation Of pub
lie money to "the necessary administra-
ton OF its internal affairs" Suit was
brought against the county three years
ago, and the verdict was rendered for
the defendant, Judge Sloan holding that
the legislation creating bonds was spe-
cial and contrary to the Harrison act.
The United States Supreme Court takes
no account OF this view, but declares
that the Legislature was restricted by a
clause which confines it to this species
of legislation only in favor of improve
ments which facilitate the adminstra.
ton of internal affairs. The decision
closes in the following language:
"We are compelled to hold that the
bonds in question create no obligation
against the county which court OF law
can enforce"
This decision affects an issue of 5000,
900 by Maricopa county in favor of the
Maricopa and Phoenix railroad and ar
issue of $250,000 by Yavapai county il

DOMINION OF CANADA.
An Address Before the Geographical
Society on Her Resources.

DONAONy Oh AACA
EDINBURGH, November l4.-Sir Charles
Tupper, Canadian High Commissioner,
delivered lecture before the Geographi-
cal Society to-day upon the resources
and general economic condition of the
Dominion of Canada. He dilated upon
the influence of federation upon the eco
nomic position Of the Dominion as seen
in the enormous developments of trade
and commerce, and the prosperity of the
country generally since the establish
ment of the Dominion, especially in the
expansion of foreign trade. Canada's
trade in 1893 and 1894, he said, was the
highest ever reached, and the increase
since 1877 has been 80 per cent. The
stability OF trade had been remarkable.
In spite OF the Mckinley law, the fnan-
cial disturbances and the fall of prices
Canada has been little affected. The
demand for staple products and exports
was as high as ever. The situation Of
the country lay in the soundness of its
banking system and the prudence of its
traders. The excellence of the national
credit had been shown in the success OF
the recent loan, which was now at par
He referred to Canada's expansive coal
and iron resources and deposits of nickel
and expressed his belief that wheat
would continue to be the great staple
product of the Northwest long after the
United States had ceased to grow it as a
profit or to export it. The French
treaty, he said, had sealed the power Of
Canada to regulate external trade rela-
tions. The Ottawa conference would do
much to promote intercolonial and i'm
perial trade, the development OF steam
ship lines and ocean cables.

Senate Commerce Committee VIII Walt
Until Congress Meets.
WASHINGTON, November 14.-About
the only Senatorial excursion authorized
during the last session of that body was
one granting the Committee on Com
merce authority to make trip to Cali
fornia for the purpose of examining the
sites for the proposed deep-water har-
Dor on the Pacific Coast. The struggle
is between Santa Monica and San Pedro,
and the rivalry between the two ports
and conflicting railroad interests have
been SO strong that the committee has
been unable to come to satisfac-
tory conclusion. 1t was the intention to
have made the trip during the past sum-
mer, but the elections intervened to
prevent. Senator Ransom, Chairman of
the committee, reached Washington to-
day, intending to arrange for an early
start, but so many of the members OF
the committee are unable to get away
that the Chairman to-day decided to
postpone the matter until Congress
meets and the committee has an oppor-
tunity of getting together

United States Marshal Henry Miller OF
San Francisco reached st. Louis to-day.
He left San Francisco last Thursday with
Henry Smythe accused of using the

Monday afternoon at Little Rock, Ark, a.,

daughter were on the train.
"When we reached Texarkana Mon
day." said Miller, Mrs. Smythe made
coffee in the car and prepared the meal.
An hour and hall aiterward had a
dreadful pain and was almost overcome
10y drowsy feeling. My head felt as if
1t was in wise. None OF the others
were taken sick. The inference is obvi-
Gus. Early in the afternoon, when the
train reached Little Rock, | walked
along the platform to the front car, and
when got on board did not see Smythe
| noticed that while had been on the
platform the watermen had unlocked the
rear door to supply the drinking tank,
and Smythe had evidently skipped by
them"

PTrsBURG, November 14.-The Su-

handed down by Judge Dean confirms
the decision OF the lower court declaring
that the employment of sisters of the
Roman Catholic Church in the common
schools of Gallitzinborough is not un-
lawful, inasmuch as no proof has been
submitted that religious sectarian in
struction is impaired by the sisters dur
ing school hours, The opinion says that
the fact the women are Catholics does
not disqualiy them under the constitu-
tion, and quotes from article of the bill
ol rights which extends to all men the
right to worship God according to the
dictates of their conscience. The opin-
ion further declares that the selection of
Catholic teachers by the School Board
is not violation of law, and saws the
fact that these teachers contributed their
earnings for religious purpose has no
bearing on the matter. Judge Williams
delivered II minority dissenting opinion.

publishes long reply and attacks the
Bishop. The celebrated case against
Bishop Bonacum is not settled. Action
on the charges is merely deferred for the
reason, as stated by good authority, that
Delegate Satoli s powers are insufficient
to deal with so grave case. The docu-
ments enlarging his authority are be-
leyed to be on their way from Rome,
and after their arrival the complaining
priests are confident OF vindication.
