20 take part in the hearing before comm
troller Bowles on Wednesday as to nh,
constltutionality of the law for the paw
memt OF the sugar bounty. Senators
oafrey and blanchard. of Louisiana are
also here and Judge Simmons of New
orleans is expected. Senator Mandersor
said tonight:
Ihe beet sugar industry is very extern
slve and when this question was raised
by the comptroller it was of such i'm.
portance ito our industry that 1 readily
consented ito come here and argue the
case; The position to be presented is
simply this:
THAT congress and the president are
the Judges in the first instance of the
constltutiOnality of a law. They have
passed on the question and have found no
objection. The only other authority that
can pass upon the question of constitu-
tionality is the supreme court of the
United States after the State has reported
it Through the subordinate courts. There
is abundance of authority to support
this position and not a single authorit!
against it."

THE FRENCH TREATY.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The state depart
metn has been notified by Ambassador
Eustis of the action taken by the French
looking to an arrangement of treaty
between the United States and France,
by the terms of which any differences that
may hereafter arise between the two
countries will be adjusted by arbitrator
The ambassador reports that a resoiu-
ton has passed the chamber by unanl-
nous vote: 1t does not appear that thus
fact was officially communicated TO MI
Eustis, and as, by the terms of the reso,
tuition, the French government was lnVlteu
to negotiate for such treaty, 1T is prob
able that the first official notice that our
government will receive of the intention
of the French government will be a pro
posal TO open negotiations TO see II com co,
mon ground can not be found. Inns
proposition may be made to our state de-
partment through Ambassador Patonotre.
By the state department it is Thought the
subject promises to be extremely diff
cult of adjustment owing to the seeming
imrossibility of reconciling the claims of
fine United States under the Monroe doc
trine with the French view.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence.

Washington, August 2, 1895.
The naval authorities in this city are
more than jubilant, they are Overjoyed
over the performance of the cruiser Co
lumbia, which reached New York yester-
day, having crossed the ocean from South
ampton to New York in six days, twenty
three hours and forty-nine minutes
While the time made is not by any means
the fastest on record, being about IS
hours behind that of the merchant ship
New York, it is nevertheless a wonderful
performance, and the best of 1T il that it
was made by an American made ship, de
signed by Americans and manned by
American officers and seamen, with Old
Glory flying at the masthead. 1t is prob
ably the only "trip that was ever made I'M
der the same or similar conditions by a
warship, and upon Of naval officers the
world over will naturally bestow great
deal of attention. No strenuous efforts
were made to obtain unusual speed, the
entire passage, under the orders of the
secretary of the navy, having been under
natural draft only, so that it will at once
be seen that in case Of an emergency,
with forced draft, we have cruiser that
can run down and overhaul the fastest
ship ahoat, truly thing to be proud Of
in this day of wonderful marine progress
That the performance of the Columbia
surprised even her builder and naval off.
GERS is shown by an occurrence in this
city. When the cruiser sailed from South.

MORE BLOOD STAINS FOUND
In the Room Occupied by Mrs. Conner i'm
Holmes castle"

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Further eXamina-
ton of the room occupied by Mrs Com
ner at Holmes "castle' today resulted
in the finding of additional blood stains
upon the floor. "A strong microscope was
used by an expert who said lit was I'M
doubtedly human blood.
Chief Badenoch HAS received a letter
from Attorney Capps giving the results
of AN interview which the lawyer had at
Little Rock with the convict Allen,
alias Hatch. The prisoner is just as
crafty as ever and while persisting in his
statement that HE knows all about
Holmes deviltry, declined to divulge
anything unless first assured of pardon
and release.
To Mr.. Capps, Allen told a few addi
tional facts tending to indicate his ia
mlliarity with Holmes, but his revela-
tons were not of sufficient value to
justify the authorities in requesting
Governor Clark TO pardon the horse thief.
1t now appears that Pietzel was in
Dwight. The same time that Pietzel,
alias Phelps, was at Dwight Miss Gil
grande was there also. When she re-
turned she told her acquaintance that
she was about to be married to a Mr..
Phelps.
Mr.. Holmes says that all he knows
about Miss Cigramde's fate is that she
left his employ for the purpose of mary
ing Phelps, and that she is now In a
convent.

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 6.-The lynch
ing of w, N. Lame, the murderer of the

THE VETERANS SPEAK.

Anent the much talked of Dallas prize
fight, it would be we'll to note also that
Governor Culberson was yesterday morn
ing in receipt of a set of resolutions from
the surviving members of the Eleventh
Texas Cavalry condemning the prize fight
as follows:
To His Excellency, Gov. c. A. Culberson,
AUSTIN Tex:
Whereas, The attorney general of the
State of Texas has given it as his opinion
that the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight would
be in violation of the laws of Texas; and
Whereas, 1t is contended by thugs and
gamblers and many other persons that the
fight will come off at the appointed time
and place regardless of said proclamation
and the attorney generals opinion of the
law; therefore, we, the surviving members ZEN rs
q, IS. A., i'm reunion at GAINESVILLE, Tex,
respectfully tender to you our hearty sup,
port and service in your efforts to uphold
the supremacy of the law to the preyen-
ton of said fight or contest taking place
within the borders of our State.

THE DAWES COMMISSION.

Washington, Aug. 5.-General Arm
strong, one of the members of the Dawes
commission, is spending a few days III
Washington. He says that the prospects
now are that the commission will be able
to make q deal with the company looking
for further legislation for the settlement
of the existing condition in the Indian
country. just ait present the elections in
the vario as tribes are in progress, and the
commission decided that it was well fol
its members to be absent in order to pre-
vent the charge being made that they
were there to influence the voters and to
secure legislatures in the different ma.
tions that were favorably inclined to the
wishes of the commission. There are
plenty of men in the Indian country who
are opposed to the commission and are
doing everything possible to prevent an
agreement being reached. 1t is expected
that the legislatures of the different ma
tons will take some action this fall look
ing to an adjustment Through the commits
sion of the various interests: The Dawes
commission will ask the legislators TO APP
point commissioners to negotiate and sub
nit propositions for a form of territorial
government and disposition of the lands.
Many of the Indians are opposed to max
ing allotments and the division of lands,
though the more progressive are aware
that they must do so sooner or later. The
Choctaws and Chickasaws have already
evinced a disposition to meet the commits
sion and in the Cherokee nation petitions
are already being circulated asking the
legislature to meet the Dawes commits
sion with view to reaching an agreement
and submitting to congress some propo-
sition for legislation for the territory.
General Armstrong says the commission
will of necessity be compelled to move
slowly, as the Indians will not be hur,
ried into doing anything and are largely
disposed to be perfectly satisfied with
their present condition.

The Question of French Treaty Prom
Uses to be Extremely Difficult-The
Monroe Doctrine at Variance
With French Views.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The statement
from United States Minister DENLY and
Consul Jarnigan that no Americans were
killed by the Chinese mob at Ku Cheng
relieves our navy department from the ne
cesisty of ordering some of the naval
forces to the scene of trouble, although
this incident will undoubtedly form the
subject of another demand upon the
Chinese government for repatriation and
indemnity for the outrage upon the prop
erty rights of the Americans. The NEAR
est American naval vessel is the Detroit,
which is at Shanghai, but she could not
get within hundreds of miles of Ku Cheng,
and the only way in which a force could
operate would be by means of armed
launches. This is most perilous method
of campaigning under such conditions as
exist in the interior of China, and while
Acting Secretary McAdoo is willing to
give the order if requested, experienced
naval officers feel that it would be useless
to sacrifice the lives of our seamen, and
they are glad Ito know that the state de-
partment does not regard such a move
necessary at present.

"PIG" IRON AND TRICHINAE.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Absolute denia,
is given by the agricultural department
officials to the report from Germany that
Chicago packers buy the most inferior
quality of beef for the thinning and pack
ing trade. The statement was made i'm a
German journal, which asserts that ow-
ing to the poor quality of the beef 1t was
injudicious and wrong ito sell it in Ger
many.
Secretary Morton said today concern
ing the story: PERSONALLY, with "a veter-
mary inspector, have several times pass
ed through the larger beef canning estalb-
lishments i'm Chicago. My visits to those
establishments were always unheralded
and therefore there was no special prepa'
ration made for a general viewing of their
premises and their method of slaughter
ing, cooking and canning beef. From
those thorough official investigations am
justified in denying as wholly untrue all
that is asserted in that statement i'm re-
gard to American meats. The statement
that American pork, hams and sausages
taken into Germany must henceforth be
stamped and examined is not new. 1T is
right i'm line with all the recent efforts of
Germany to placate the agrarian ele-
ment. 1t illustrates the effect upon the
United States of a protective tariff when
Americans are the foreigners
at is proable that since we have
shipped 400 tons of pig iron and steer
from Youngstown, O., into England, the
agrarians will soon demand microscopic
examination for American pig iron to
see that it does not contain trlchinae.'
