a Question of Whether the Chamber OF
Deputies Is superior to tho Courts.
PARIS, Jan. 14.-The cabinctrcsigncd
Monday, having been defeated in the
chamber of deputies on the question of
giving priority to the orde. of the dav.
The question which led to the rcsig-
nation of the ministry is Il wide one.
1t is really n question of whether tho
chamber of deputies is superior to the
courts of France ami whether the
chamber is able to set aside the consti-
tutional will. In 1888 the government
made Il contract with the Orleans and
Mldn railways, under the terms Of
Which, nreturn for certain facilities for
the transportation of war material. the
government guaranteed the interest Oh
the bonds OF the railways. The gov
eminent held that the guarantee cx-
pred in 1914, but the directors of the
companies took a different view aud
construed the agreement to mean that
in perretnity. Suits were brought in
tho courts To settle the question and
the casn was taken to the council of
state which, in such matters, is the
hnal court of appeal. The council on
wednesday last decided that the guar
antec was perpetual. This decision,
which n majority in the chamber of
deputies today claimed the right to re-
verse, was u complete %pegation of the
contention of the deputies and the cab
met n NJ. Barthou's action on tho
railway guarantees consequently that
he latter yesterday resigned, and the
proceedings in the chamber today led
to the resignation of the other mem
bers of the cabinet.

flERsE 5. D., Jan. 9.-The whole
city is torn up over the defalcation OF
~eS-Ireasurcr w. w. Taylor. State
officers are para!yzed and no one knows
either the amount of the default or the
method of cXtricating tho state.
Under the statute Taylor should have
turned over the cash to his successo,
yesterday, but on Saturday he wired
from New York that would not get
here before late last night. When
the train arrived ut 2 this morning
he was not aboard and his bondsmcu
and personal friends became Convinced
that their suspicious were correct and
that he had dcfuulted. 1t is ut
terly impossible to tell anything about
the amount. All state funds ara de-
posted to the credit of w. w. Taylor
individually at Redtield. There arc no
records to show where tho o is
deposited.
Taylor should have had on hand
N346,0o0. He set aside 500, 900 to pay
funding warrants which were due in
New York Oh Saturday. Whether lie
paid them Or not is unknown.
Public Examiner Myers found all
Inylor's accounts correct in April last,
but he has made no examination since.
Mr.. Myers has for thirty DAYS
been somewhat suspicious ,fnd he
tried to get a list of depository banks
But mas been put eff o.. ope- pretext or
another.
Three weeks ago Taylor went to
New York and it is understood that
he has been trying to raise
money to cover the shortage from
friends there. His father is very
wealthy and his connections are so
powerful that it is Il surprise he could
not fix tho matter up. Taylor, ST., is
now on his way here as is also ex-Gov-
ernor Mellette, who We're the chief
bondsmen. Other bonds men arc
S%uenkcr Howard and Bob Mccoy OF
Aberdeen. The total boud was $3.50
600 and Examiner Myers expects it to
SHRINK somewhat.

VALLEY, Ncb., Jan. 14.-Joinnie
Fcrree, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferree, the
Spiritualists, came up town Sunday
night at S o'clock and related a strange
story. lie said that. two men were
near his home for the purpose of muir
dering his father. lie snid that tli-
two men were implicated in the Scotl
murder case, and that their names hut-
already been given to Sheriff Hamilton.
Twelve or fifteen citizens, armed with
guns and clubs, went Immediately to
The Fe.ree residence. When they az
rived there everything about the prem
ises seemed to be quiet. Consta-
bio Burke had 4 conversation
with the spirits, and they located
the supposed wouldbc murderers in
Mr.. I'errec's barn. The barn was
searched. but no IL was found. The
impressions in the hay led the search
ers to believe that some persons had
just left the NOW. The search was
continued to Hudpitch's grove, where
two men were seen. They We're or
dered to stop, but the command seemed
to hasten their steps. Several shots
were fired at the disappearing forms in
the moonlight, but to no effect. The
two men disappeared in the bottoms
near the Platte river, and the search
ers returned to town. Mr.. Ferrec had
n very vicious dog. and it was poisoned
last night at dark and died in u few
minutes.
Many of the leading citizens of the
town have %conversed with the spirits
during the day and they IRE all dumb
founded at tho result. Several men,
heavily armed, are guarding the Force
residence with the expectation of
tho return OF the would be murder.

The Cu.tcr County shortnrc

S1oUx FALLS, S. H., Jan. 15.-Ben-
jamin NJ. Tunley, who has been treas
urcr of Custer county for the past two
years, is reported by the county com
m~issioncrs to be short in his accounts
$3,2t9. Investigation has not been
concluded yet and the shortage may be
even more. He says If there is q short
age he is not to blame but has been
imposed upon by his deputies who have
misappropriated f,snds. Custer county
has had defaulting treasurers twice in
seven years. 1t is said TINT Charles
T. Howard, who was recently elected
speaker OF the house Mt Pierre, Is on
Tnnley's bond for $4,000. Jnasmuch
as Mr.. Howard is one of the principal
bondsmen for w. w. Taylor, the de-
faulting state treasurer, it is improb-
able that Custer county will be able to
recover much from him. Mr.. Tunley
is one Of the leading democrats of tho
state, having been a candidate last
fall on the democratic state ticket for
lieutenant governor. His friends here
are inclined to think. if there is Il
shortage in Mr.. Tunley.s accounts, that
hc is not directly responsible for it.

BROOKLYN. N. ", Jan. 14.-The troll
ley car strike began wien the last car
had been housed. which wa shortly
before a o'clock this morning. Not n
single day car on any road in Brookiyn
with one exception, the Coney Island
Brooklyn, was running this morning.
Although the motormen and tho con-
iuctors were in the ~neighborhooa OF
The starting station, not one OF them
offered to go TO work this morning Il
the usually noisy clang of trolley car
bells on busy streets was hushed. Inc
elevated road, although trains were
doubled, was unable TO carry the peo-
pie and during the working hours this
morning the trains were crowded to
:%uffocation. ,
When the electricians employed in
the four power houses in the city went
TO take their night shift at O O'Clock
last night they were asked by the fore
men If they would be will to take
places on the cars as motorinen and
conductors. They replied, NO Then
they were told that there was no niore
work for them.
The employees say the action of
President Lewis in locking out the
power house workers precipitnted the
strike. They say President Lewis told
4 friend last night that the strike
would cost the Brooklyn Heights com"
panv at least $500, 600.
The strike is the greatest one Brock
Ign has ever seen. Master Workman
Martin Conneliy's order was at once

to take the places of the strikers.
The company says 1000 men applied
at the city railway company'a Of

they would take out cars if they We're

at once applied to the police for pro-

fcnt the IS per cent business in Cher

loonkcepers have not secured it. In

those against whom injunc:ions now
stand were called to answer to the
charge of violation of such injnnctions.
A.. G. Hobart and A. II. Molyneux APP
peared for the snloonkcepcrs and se-
cured n continuance until next Mon
day. Each was placed under bond Of
5000. They signed their own bonds
and were released.
The saloonkeepers have been doing
business in good faith. They were
satisfied that the consent of 65 per cent
of the people had been secured. If it
is defeated it will be on account OF
tcehnicalitics or some fatal error. Ger
tain it is that n large minority of the
people of Cherokee and Cherokee
county are in favor of allowing them
to run. A very few men may be able
to defeat the will of the majority. II
the prolibs are successful it will be the
