HAVE DEFIED THE LAW.
other Millionaires Than Pullman
Must Toe the Mark.

Chicago, Aug. 13-The Pullman COM
pany is not the only concern which is
to be brought into court for alleged vi
olation of the powers conferred upon it
by the state of Illinois. The quo war
ranto proceedings against the company
is only the beginning of a series of
suits against interests the aggregate
Importance of which equals that of the
Pullman company so far as Chicago is
concerned.
These interests are the builders of
Chicago, who have for years been en-
gagged in erecting sky-scraping struc-
lures. and they will be compelled to
show cause why they should not be
charters, which, in the majority of
cases, provide for the building of a
safety deposit vault, or structure de-
voted to the arts and charity. The an
nouncement that this is to be done is
made by the people close to the attor-
ney general, and it is accompanied by
the statement that nine out of ten of
the modern office buildings in Chicago
are erected in violation of the statute.
In a few exceptions all are owned by
corporations or firms known as safety
deposit companies bearing titles differ

They are built. it is asserted, with the
proceeds of stocks and bonds issued
upon the buildings and the lease-hold,

ground is not owned. but held under
long leases.
The general law of Illinois permits
any legal number of people to carry on
almost any kind of business with a
few exceptions. One of these most i'm

corporation. SO it is stated, is permitted
by the statute to engage in the build
ing and selling of real estate or the
erection of buildings FOR rent as a

one authority, the various. corporations

WORTH's COURT MARTIAL.
Says He Thought n State of War
Existed

Omaha. Neb., Aug. 13.-The court
martial of Major William S. Worth, of
the department of the Platte, begun at
Fort Omaha this morning. He was
accused of ordering Private Cedarquist
to rifle practice on Sunday. Court was
convened and the charge and specifica-
ton read, to which Major Worth plead
ed not guilty. The court was COM
posed almost entirely of old veterans
who have seen more or less hardships
and actual fighting service. Major
Worth admitted that the men were
ordered to target practice. and no evil
dence on that point was introduced. He
explained, however, that he thought
u state of war existed as the troops
were expected to be called to Chicago
daily.
AS Lincoln's order against Sunday
work applied to times of peace. it was
suspended. the defense argued, at this
period.
The case rested here.
The prosecution argued the rule was
not suspended, as war did not exist.
The attorney for the defense went on
to show Lincoln's order was not in
force and introduced the laws of the
army published by Secretary of War
Endicott in February, 1889, which are
prefaced by the statement that they are
i the laws of the army. These rules do
not mention President Lincoln's orders
of 1862. regarding work and military
practice on Sunday It was further
held that the order of President Harri-
son abolishing Sunday inspection abro-
gated and rendered null President
Lincoln's order. Judge Advocate Baird
completed the argument. He contended
that it was an inexcusable violation of
army ethics and law and in nowiSe a
military necessity.
Many. ministers were present at the
trial and several church societies and
attorneys present in the interest of
Private Cedarquist, but they were not
! allowed to speak.

BuRGLARIzED APARsoyAGE.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 13-WhE9
the congregation of st. BlizabeG
church was worshipping last night, at
Fifth avenue and Missouri street, the
parsonage vaults, two doors away, were
blown in by burglars. A member of
the congregation, who was seated on
the front steps of the church during
the service, observed a man enter and
leave the church frequently. giving the
excuse that he was sick. 1t turns out
that he was on watch and that the ex-
plosion was timed to occur while the
Choir was singing, so that the sound
could not be heard. The burglars Sc
cured nothing for their pains, the pas
tor of the church being in Europe and
the church collections kept elsewhere
during his absence

AN ACCOUNTING WILL BE HAD.
Decision in n Mining Suit InvoIv-
ing Millions.

San Francisco, Aug. 13.-The decision
in mining suit involving millions of
dollars was rendered in the United
States circuit court today The case is
that of the Consolidated Wyoming
Gold and Silver Mining company
against the Champion Gold Mining
company. Judge Beatty delivered the
decision, though it was rendered by
Judge Hawley, Of Nevada.
The action was for an injunction and
an accounting of very valuable mining
property, which has been in litigation
in the state and federal courts of Ne
vada for many years. Complainant
and respondent own an adjoining min
ing location. The point in issue was
the ownership of a valable lead or
ledge of ore running under ground
from the Wyoming mine into the
Champion property. In his decision
Judge Hawley grants the account
ing and injunction as prayed for. 1t is
estimated that the amount involved in
the suit is some 100000 or more. and
the Champion company has already
paid some $2,OOO,OOO out in dividends
which largely came from the disputed
ore.

THE STRIKE THAT FAILED.
All Packing Houses Running TO Near
Iy Their Full CaDncifv.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. bah the pack
ing houses were running almost to their
full capacity today, and many men were
turned away who applied for work. The
packers say that a great many of their
old men showed up for work, and those
who are needed were taken back and the
others were paid off and told that they
would be sent for if wanted. Some of
the. old men will never be taken back
The strikers seem to be satisfied to
let matters take their regular course,
and say they do not propose to inter-
fere with any men who want work. The
packers fear that after the militia is
gone, the strikers will again commence
to intimidate their workmen and are not
in favor of releasing the military for an
other week at least.

Brief Bits OF interest FROM the All

Vancouver, b. c., Aug. 13.-The follow
ing Australian advices have been re-
ceived here:
The government of New South Wales
intends to introduce the Australian rab-
bit on the English market by shipping
them in frozen condition. They hope
to thus get rid of the pest.
The New Zealand house of representa-
tives has passed a motion limiting the
time of speech to half an hour for each
speaker, and none are allowed to speak
in committee more than four times, or
longer than ten minutes. 49,
At a political meeting held at Luck

New Haven, Conn, Aug. bah re-
ports to the contrary Notwithstanding,
the arms companies of this city expect to
reap a rich harvest from the shipments
of weapons for the oriental war Two
weeks ago a test case was made by the
Winchester company. Two members of
the Chinese legation visited the factory
of the company, bought a large order
which was shipped TO China, via Vancou-
yer, at once and the action of the gov
eminent was awaited with anxiety. None
has been taken and it is now believed
that free shipment of arms to the be-
ligerents from the United States will not
be interfered with. This is exactly ac-
cording to precedent The cost of Greco
Russian war was the most notorious eX-
ample of shipping of munitions to par
ticipate in war and recOllectlon o., lne
Grecian ships sailing up the local harbor
and loading with New Haven arms is still
vivid in the minds of the people in this
city. The Winchester and Martn arms
companies have furnished the munitions
of war in many of the South American
countries in the recent revolution as well
as to a number of other countries en-
ship large amounts of goods to China or
Japan and will probably be permitted TO
do so.
An interesting incident relative to the
order of guns just made to China is tod
by Winchester employee. He said that
on the occasion OF the visit of the Chi
nese agents to the factory here: tney
were shown the various patents of arms
and seemed to be entirely unskilled in
the knowledge of what was the most APP
proved and desirable style of shooting
irons. Finally they selected for their en-
tire order of a pattern of ten years ago,
a lot that the company had been for
some time solicltous to disposing OF to
advantage. Judging from this lncldent
the Chinese idea of modern fire arms is
not exactly fin de steele.
The manufacturers think the edict OF
Won Caprivi, of Germany, that, no guns
shall go from that country to the OTlent
will aid American shipments materially.

Mr.. Hopkins Republican,, of Illinois,
and Mr.. Gear (Republican), OF Iowa,
spoke against the bill and Mr.. Coombs

Mr.. Bryan OemocraD, of Nebraska,
spoke vigorously for the bill.
Mr.. Pence PopulisD, of Colorado,
said the barbed wire trust might sut-
fer from the bill, but the American
people would gain.
The vote to put barbed wire on the
free list was: Yeas, 1871; nays, 81.

Free Sugar.
After the free sugar bill had been re-
ported Mr.. Robertson, of Louisiana,
offered an amendment reducing the
from July l, 1895, to July l, 1901.
Mr. Springer OemocraD, of Illinois,
began a discussion of sugar amid great
confusion. claiming, in refutation of
the statement, that the Senate bill
gave the trust greater protection than
the Mckinley law, that the trusts had
received yearly nearly $7S,O00,000 during
the three years and three months the
Mckinley law had been in operation.
Mr.. Price OemocraD, of Louisiana,
said he would ask for consideration,
even for pity, at this late day, for 200,-
600 agriculturists threatened with de-
struction. If duties could not be re-
tanned, he asked, at least, that the
bounties be.
Mr. Boatner said the bounty was a
legal obligation for this year. Mr..
Reed Republican,, Maine, spoke of the
bill as the last of the cushions the
statesmen of this little kingdom of
Lilliputs had arranged for themselves
to fall on. and reminded Louisiana that
the Republican party would have given
them the protection they needed and
asserted the Democrats had so be-
clouded the question with corruption
, that it could not be dealt with honestly
by others without mourning suspicion.
1t was the one great question to be
made shuttle-cock of between the two
parties.
Mr.. Wilson concluded the discussion,
charging the Republican party was re-
sponsible for the creation of the sugar
trust, and the power it had manifested
in this contest. He expressed sympa thy
for the Louisiana men. saying he had
always believed in a revenue tax on
sugar, that the agriculturists were vel
come to the incidental protection there
for, and he stood ready to cooperate
with his colleagues in giving a revenue
tax.
