Representatives.
JEFFERSON City, March 23.-The
house came near closing it's session with
"a set-to between Spencer of st. Louis
and Davidson of Marion, one a repub-
lican the other a democrat. They en-
gagged in a wordy alteration over the
resolution to adjourn at 3 o'clock today.
Spencer insinuated that Davidson was a
liar. "You contemplate hound" said
Davidson, pointing his finger at Spen-
GER, "Iou know you are lying. Oh, you
may open your mouth" Spencer was at
a white heat, and the sergeant at arms
and a hall dozen members ran across the
house to prevent an encounter. After
the Objectionable words had been taken
down oil was poured upon the troubled
waters by retraction and peace reigned

PHOENIX, Arizona, March 23.-Amid
scenes of wild disorder, the eighteenth
session of the territorial assembly came
to an abrupt termination at l o'clock
this morning. The general a%ppropria-
ton bill was taken up in the house and
every scheme to delay its passage was
resorted to. The object of the delay was
to kill the chances for the removal of the
penitentiary from Yuma to Prescott, for
which the Santa Fe Railroad company's
agents have been making a fight, op-
posed by the Southern Pacific company
lobbyists. They prevented the taking
of a vote until after midnight when the
session lapsed through limitation. Near
ly all territorial officers and institutions
are thus left without funds for the com
ing two years.

IS AN AMERICAN
French COurt-Martial Reported to
Have Sentenced John L. Wall"r
of Kansas TO
YEARS IN PRISON
The State Department Has No Official
Notice of the Action
as Yet.

PoRr LUIS, Island of Mauritius, March
23.-John L. Waller, formerly United
States consul at Tamatave, island Of
Madagascar, has been found guilty OF
corresponding with the Hovas after q
trial by a French court martial and sen.
fenced to twenty years imprisonment
April 20, 1894, Mr.. Waller secured a con.
cession from the Hovas government OF
the whole southern part of the island OF
Madagascar, in spite of repeated protests
of French presidents and the French
colony generally. According to the
French pioneer colonists, all nationali-
ties engaged in the Indian rubber trade
considered their vested interests had
been injured by the concession to Wal
Ter. France hitherto has claimed a pro-
tectorate owe the island of Madagascar
and Great Britain has recognized it, but
the native government of Madagascar
repudiates the French claim to a protec-
torate and France is now sending to
Madagascar a large expedition to subdue
the Hovas. Early in June last the New
York World published a letter from e.
Underwood Harvey, editor of the NADIA.
gascar News, saying: 1T is time for the
great American government to put it's
foot down and say that American enter.
prise in this country shall no longer be
trampled by French bullying" This
was the result of the action of the repre-
%sentatives of France in Madagascar in
denying the Malaysia government the
right to make land grants to American
citizens without first obtaining the sane
ton of the French president general.
STATE DEPARTMENT IN IGNORANCE.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Nothing has
been heard officially at the state depart
ment of the reported sentence by a
French court martial in Madagascar of
ex-United States Consul Waller to twen-
ty years imprisonment for corresponding
with the Hoyas. If the circumstances
are as reported 1t is probable our gov
eminent will enter an energetic protest
against the arbitrary action of the
French authorities. Waller is a citizen
Of the United States and the officials
here cannot conceive by what authority
a French court martial attempts to as
sert jurisdiction over an American citi-
zen not actively engaged in hostilities
against them. Waller, who came from
Kansas, was consul at Tamatave during
Harrison's administration. 1t is we'll
known here that the French CONGO ssion,
aires at Madagascar have been doing
their utmost to prevent him from enjoy
ing the fruits Of valuable concessions he
obtained from the Hovas government by
his good management. As far IS this
government is aware, the French pro-
tectorate over that island is limited
strictly to the regulation of the foreign
intercourse of the Hovas government
and the right of the latter to control its
internal affairs, including the granting of
concessions to individuals, never has
been questioned before.

the salaries of teachers, j%anitors, clerk
Office rent, fuel and supplies wouLi
amount to s9,74S.25 by the end of tbf
school year, May 81.
Trustee Leslie stated that he had in.
v%estigated the question of asking the
county treasurer to transfer, on his
books, the sinking fund from a bank
now transacting business to the sus.
pended bank, and vice versa with the
general fund. Mr.. Leslie said that such
action would be illegal, and that when
the bonds fell due, in 1908, the present
trustees would be Individually liable for
the amount they ordered transferred
from the sinking fund, if meanwhile col.
lection could not be made from ey.
Treasurer McClelland's bondsmen of the
amount in the Merchants National
which Treasurer Dickerman has not
received.
President Holmes said that Mr. Nc.
Clellsnd had led the board to believe
that the entire general fund was avai!4
BILE. Mr.. Dickerman says 1t is not. MI,
Holmes believed that the change on the
treasurer's books had been made re.
Gently.
The clerk stated that Treasurer Dick.
erman would use any fund in cashipg
warrants that the board by resolution
should order him to use. The CLERK
further stated that there would be a de.
ticiency in paying teachers salaries for
the month ending March % of S1S3.5G.
Not wishing to bind themselves, the
trustees declined to take any action, bu,
Trustees Leslie and Holmes INFORMAL
agreed to wait upon Mr.. Dickerman and
request him to make a transfer on bis
books that will render the gen
eral fund available. If he re.
fuses the schools must close immedi
ately, or teachers, with the co-operatio1
of merchants, must carry warrants, as il
the fall of 1881.
Dan Mckay presented an estimate fU
$1,000 for work on the high school build
ing contract in November. Gockstetty
moved that it be paid when the cash Il
the bonds is received, but the motto
was not seconded, other trustees beingil
doubt as to the legality of such acton
Gockstetter made a lengthy plea for I'll:
payment of mechanics employed by NJ;
Mckay, and urging that the estimate b
allowed, whereupon Mr.. Mckay statei
that his employees we're all paid.
The board then adjourned until Fri
day evening.
