last war with China 1t rs not generally
known that Just before the declaration of
an arnaistice was presented In tho nature
OF treaty Of peace, an issue had been
raised between tho United States anu
JaEasn that threatened to lead 10 actual
boatllities between the tNo countries, ana
that a hostile clash was perhaps on.y
avertod by the conclusion of the Chinese
war This issue arose through the asser-
ton by the Japanese authorities of The
right to search American vessels. They
insisted that they had the right TO board
an American vessel. and. IL they chose. 10
take from her any Chinese or any enemies
which they might find even though they
were hut passengers. our minister
promptly denied the existence of any such
right of n combatant, and n hot CORE
spondence ensued. The Japs insisted on
their right and even when Mr.. Dun re-
minded them that the United States had
gone 20 war with Great Britain on just
this issue and forced tho abandonment OF
any claim 90 such right, they refused TO
ahate their preiensioBs one jot. though
the minister fntimatsd that the first as

HAMMERED TO DEATH
Horrible Murder of an Insane
Asylum Patient
BY TWO OF THE ATTENDANTS.
The Man Was Violent and Fought With
His Keepers-Then They Broke
Every Bone in His Body.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-George Cough and J.
b. Anderson, attendants at the city insane
asylum at Dunning, are locked up tonight
charged with the murder of George Budi-
zick, patient at the asylum. Budizick
was an Austrian. Sc years old. and very
violent man. He was confined first in the
Alexian Brothers hospital. and from this
was taken TO the Dunning asylum on
Thursday afternoon. At the asylum he
was received by Henry Barrol, an attend
ant, who gave him in charge of Cough
and Anderson. On Thursday night Budi-
zick seemed in excellent health. and this
morning he was found dead. The attend
ing physicians at the asylum, suspecting
that something was wrong. examined the
body and found that the flesh all over the
chest was badly beaten and bruised. In
addition to this there was a bad cut on
the forehead. They at once sent for the
coroner and called in the county physi-
clan, DR.. Gill. The doctor made a slight
examination of the body and then declared
that the man had been beaten 10 death,
saying that such wounds as were on the
body must have been occasioned by a ham,
mer.
A further examination showed that Bud
izick had been literally hammered 10
death. Every inch of his body was
bruised, all the bones broken, and several
of them fractured four times. The breast
bone had been broken in two places. and
the abdomen bore marks of heavy blows.
several of which had inflicted injuries on
the intestines sufficient in themselves to
have caused death. On several places on
the chest and side the blows had been
dealt SO viciously that the flesh was lit
orally torn from the bones and was hang
ing in shreds.
Superintendent Morgan, after the cor
oners jury had returned verdict that
the man had come TO his death ny being
pounded by unknown people. picked out
Cough and Anderson as the two men like
ly to be guilty of the crime. they having
had charge of the ward during the night
He took them into his private office. and
they at first denied any knowledge of how
the man came to his death, but finally adj
mitted that they had assaulted HIN. They
said that he was very violent, and that
when they attempted to restrain him he
had assaulted them with his fists. Budi-
Zick, being a very powerful man, they
said, they were afraid of him, and In or
der TO protect themselves had assaulted
him with their fists. When asked how
they could inlct such terrible injuries
with their hands they had nothing to say,
simply insisting that they had struck him
with nothing but their clinched hands.
DR.. Mitchell and Deputy Coroner OBrien
declare the case to be one of the worst
that they ever heard of, and without ex-
ception the most brutal that has occurred
In any asylum in Illinois.

He said the reporters from three morning
papers had been at his house TO ask IL ne

dict, but had not been asked nor
had he stated anything about the purrant

with him put in the papers, in which he
discussed the Durrant case, were wholly
untrue. The Durrant case, he SAID. had

hearing was resumed today. lie began
by eliciting from Mr.. Bowler a brief
statement of his position. which that gem
tleman said was based principally on the
belief that the law was unconstitutional
Mr. Canery then made the following pro-
positions, containing in brief the points
that he would attempt to make:
Ffrst-That judiciary power lodges by

ciary department, and that alone
Second-If any judicial function lodges
in any other department II must be by

lie then proceeded TO elaborate ,hss.
points in an argument devoted almost e,.
ciusively 10 the constitutionality Of ths

Mr.. Bowler frequently during Senator
taHreys remarks intimated that the dil.
ficulty that he (Bowler) encountered was

to re-enact legislation which has been de-
clared unconstitutional. and have II con-

but MIR. Caffery contended that the cor.
gressional powers were unlimited. Speak.
ing of the uncertainty of such questions.
when every occupant of the comptroller.s
Office examines his own opinion, he called
Mr.. Bowler's attention To the fact thar
he was subject TO the will of the prssj-
dent IT. he said, your views do not
suit him he can get a comptroller whose
views do suit. If the comptroller was
given the power which Mr.. Bowler was
disposed to claim, that Office would be-
come of no less judicial Importance than

MIR. Caffery said that after the sugar
trust became convinced that a duty was 10

the corners Of the globe for sugar until
in July, 1884, they had secured between
So,000.00 and 10000o000 pounds moro Of
sugar In this country than there had been
the year before. In consequence of this
action the price of sugar had been less
under the ad yalorem tariff than when
sugar was free. He dwelt upon the dam
age which had been done TO the sugar IN
dustry, which, he said, was trembling In
the balance. Large sugar plantations
could be bought for song. Mr.. Caffery
referred TO Mr.. Bowler's intentions as 3
