LET THE MULES GO.


An Indication That Mexico and Guatemala
Have Reached 2 Agreement.
CITY OF Mexico, Feb. 27.--The secre-
tary Of the treasury has wired instruc-
tions to the customs authorities at Taba-
quila. Chiapas. for the return 0f the 400
mules which have been delayed at that
point for some time by order of the gov
ernment. The stock belongs to the
American contracting firm of Park 10
Thornton, who are engaged in con-
structing the Guatemalan road in Qua
temala, where the animals which were
purchased in this country. were urgently
needed Their entrance int GuatgmaIa
at a time when the peace relations were
threatened between that country and
Mexico evidently caused the Mexican
government to order them detained
until further development regarding the
International dispute were made. The
fact that the embargo ON mules had
been raised, strengthens the impression
that the diplomatic conference between
Emilio de Leon, Guatemala's envoy, and
Mexico's secretary of foreign affairs has
reached peaceful conclusion.

Supreme Court.
FARoo, N. D., Feb. 27.-The entire
time OF days session of the supreme
court was taken mp by the attorney foi'
the defense in the famous Kent murder
case. He presented four points which
were argued at great length. He held
that the judge had erred in not calling
another Judge to try the case, as the de-
fendant had fled an affidavit that the
court was prejudiced; that the judge had
erred lin admitting Attorney Nye Of
Minneapolis in the case, he not being a
practicing attorney in this state; that
defendant was convicted on the testi-
mony OF his alleged accomplice, Swi-
denski, whose testimony was uncorrob-
Grated and should be inadmissable; that
the/ /information filed by States Attor-
ney Voss was incorrectly drawn and
was therefore invalid. After the prose-
cution is heard an early decision is
anticipated. Kent was sentenced to
hang last Saturday, but stay was
granted pending the hearing for a new
trial.

''7 MADRID, Feb. 27.--At the conclusion
of the special meeting of the cabinet, at
which the minister of colonies, Senior
Arabrusea, and General Lopez Doming-
uez, minister of war, announced that
the government had authorized the is
suance of a proclamation by the gov

suppress the armed bands of brigands

said that there was no truth in the re-
port that troops from the Philippine
islands had been landed in Cuba.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.--Senator Brice,
from the committee ON interstate COM
merce has reported without recommen-
dation the bill introduced in the early
part or the present session authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to pay the
sum OF S1000OO to any inventor from
any part of the world, who shall, prior
80 100, construct vessel that will
demonstrate the practicability of safely
navigating the air at speed of so miles
an hour, capable of carrying freight and
passengers
The object Of the report is apparently
to print the information available on the
subject Of experiment in aerial naviga-
tion siHiee the days of Montgolfier. ITO
those who have not given this subject
much attention, says the report, ''it
may Seem somewhat visionary TO seri-
Ously entertain the idea of navigating
the air safely, since efforts in this direc-
tion have been in most instances fail
ures, Y yet the committee maintain that
"the eventual solution of the problem
WAlA result III one or the greatest
Social, Economical and Industrial
revolutions in the history of mankind,
and have the greatest possible influence
ON the civilization of the world.
Whether" !" they continue, CONNER
cial results will be achieved
as early as 1900 is a question
your committee do not undertake to an
swer. IL is believed, however, that the
passage of the bill will act as stimulus
TO the work already in progress, looking
to the ssalution of this great problem OF
aerial navigation, and in that respect it
cannot but do great work. That the
problean will eventually be solved we
see no ground ON which to rest rea-
sonabIe doubt"

THE HOUSE SAYS NO
Greshan1's Agreement to Pay
Great Britain Damages
Not Confirmed.
THE AMOUNT UNREASONABLE.
Senate Working Day and
Night on the Appropri-
alton Bills.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The general
deficiency bill--the last of the regular
appropriation bills--has passed the
house. Almost the entire day was spent
discussing the amendment TO pay Great
Britain 1926, 900. the amount of dam
ages agreed upon by Secretary Gresham
and Sir Julian Pauncefote TO be due
that country under the award of the
Paris arbitration tribunal ON account of
the seizure Of some 90 Canadian sealers
by the United States previous to the
smodus vivendi of 1892
The amendment was strongly at
tackled by Messrs Cannon of Illinois,
Henderson OF Iowa and Hitt of Illinois
on the ground that the amount
was UnreasonabIy Large;
that some of the vessels were owned by
citizens OF the United States, and of the
1915, 600 for constructive or speculative
damages (the estimated catch) only
$81, 900, they contended, was due Great
Britain. Messrs. Breckinridge of Rem
lucky, McCreary of Kentucky, Hooker
OF Mississippi and Dingley of Maine
supported the amendment, maintaining
that the government, no matter how
bad the bargain, must carry out the
awards Of the Paris tribunal in good
faith. Mr. Dingley declared that it
was preferable to paying the British
claim for $425, 900 than leave the ASSESS
ment OF damages to an umpire
Appointed by Foreign Power.
The amendment carried in committee,
but was defeated in the house. Some
excitement was caused by the attempt
to strike ont in the house the appropria-
ton for an extra months salary for the
employees Of the house and senate and
the clerks OF members, but it failed and
the amendment prevailed-143 to 1903.
Motions to reconsider and recommit
Were voted down as promptly as offered
until the opposition dwindled to point
where 1t could not get the ayes and
nays. 1t then surrendered and the bill
was passed.
