FIERY FRENCH DEBATE
Deputy Juares' Attack Upon
the Government.
NJ. BERTHOU CALLS HIM A LIAR
1t Creates q Tumult in the Chamber of
Deputies, and Was Followed by the
preached Jaures.


preached Jaures.
PARIS, December 26.-Geueral Mer-
cier, Minister OF War, introduced to-day
in the Chamber of Deputies bill pro-
viding the death penalty for such mill
tary traitors as Captain Drcyfus. Dep
uty Jaures, Socialist, was delegated by
his party to demand the abolition of the
death penalty in the army. In the course
of his attack upon the government he
said that Dreyfus escaped sentence be-
cause the government feared the conse-
quenves of executing him. Premier
Dupuy reproached Jaures for voicing the
theories of international socialism on q
subject which should appeal to every
Frenchman's loyalty. Jaures shouted
in his reply, pointing to the Ministers:
"You are the interna tionalists. You
favor the internationalism of Hebrew
capitalists, whom you screen and pro-
tect. Yet these Hebrew capitalists,
whom you adopt as your wards, are
swindlers and scamps."
The Chamber was brought to a high
pitch of excitement by this harangue.
The Socialists cheered approvingly. The
Ministers interrupted the speaker fire.
uuentlv with their protests. As Jaures
reached the climax of his charges M.
Berthou, Minister of Public Works,
sprang to his feet and shouted:
You lie, and you know you lie."
Jaures' reply was drowned in a tu-
multi, which was stilled after five min
utes by the Presidents bell. There were
calls for the censuring of Juares, and
eventually Brisson, the President, re-
uuested him to retract his accusations.
Jaures refused fatty. He was censured
bv the President and expelled Temporal
rily from the Chamber. The sitting was
adjourned in confusion. Jaures sent his
seconds to Berthou. According to the
arrangements made by the seconds the
duel will be fought with pistols at TWEEN.
tv-five PAGES. The duel was the main
topic of discussion during the intermis-
sion, and the Deputies were still talking
of the probable conditions when the sit
ting was resumed. The previous ques-
ton was demanded by the government
as soon as the Chamber came to order,
and was carried against M. Jaures' pro-
posal. Alexander Miller, Radical, ar
gued in a speech on General Mercier's
bill that the existing laws would enable
the government to punish Dreyfus with
death. Lawyer Leveille, Republican,
denied this. Eventually urgency was
voted on the MERCER bill.

TWO YEARS IN COURT.
The Photograph Suit Against Thomas
Edison Decided.

Edison DeciueU.
WASHINGTON, December ga Geci-
sion was to-day rendered in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia in
suit pending for nearly two years,
brought by the American Graphone
Company nomiually against the Column
bia Photograph Company, the real par
ties defendant being Thomas A. Edison
and the Edison photograph works. 1t
was alleged by the American Graphone
Company that the original Edison tin
foil photograph was a failure, as the
sound records it made were not accurate,
permanent or capable of being repro
duced as often as desired; that it could
not be detached from the machine, ham
died and transported; that the art as
now known was created by the lnven-
tions of Alexander Graham Bell, Chlces
A. Bell and Charles S. fainter, who be-
gan work under the auspices of the Volta
Laboratory Association, and whose pat
ents were afterward acquired by the
American Graphone Company, and that
every photograph, every phonograph
cylinder and every phonograph record
became practical and valuable only as
far as it relied upon the principle OF the
engraved record as distinguished from
the abandoned method of indenting used
on the Edison original tinfoil phono-
graph. No testimony was taken for the
Columbia Photograph Company in the
case, and when the time limit fixed by
the court had almost expired the de-
PENDANT withdrew counsel and allowed
decree by default. The court finds for
the American Graphone Company on
every point, and issues a decree OF IN
junction against defendants and orders
an accounting by the auditor to the
court. Other suits are pending in New
Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Ohio
and Kansas.

NEW LAW FOR ALASKA.
The Oregon Code Is Not Suitable for the
Territory.

Territory.
WASHINGTON, December 26.-It is un-
derstood that Congress will later in the
present session make an effort to pro-
vide code of laws for the government
of Alaska, which is to be submitted as
the result of the inspection made of the
Alaskan country last summer by Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin and Joseph w.
Murray, Inspector of Salmon Fisheries.
These gentlemen gave especial attention
to the seal fisheries, and will, of course,
dwell upon this feature, especially in
their report; but they will also rec
ommend changes in the entire legal sys-
tenn of the seal islands and the mainland
as we'll, covering all the subjects con-
nected with the government OF the Ter
ritory. The Oregon laws are at present
in force in Alaska, and have been since
the organization of the Territory. They
are in many instances lily adapted to
the local conditions prevailing in Alaska,
and even where they are fairly satisfac-
tory the means of administering them
are so inefficient as to have caused serious
complaint in the past on the part of the
people affected. Hence, besides recon-
mending laws for the government of the
seal-catching and others looking to the
prevention and destruction of the salmon
interests, Messrs. Hamlin and Murray
will probably recommend timber laws,
new land, mining, liquor, customs and
school laws. There will also probably
be recommendation that three or four
judicial districts be created to take the
place of the present system, which is
comprised in one district. The report
embodying their recommendations is
now in course of preparation. and viii
be submitted to Congress as early in the
session after the holidays as possible
with the hope that there may be time
left for Congressional action. 1t is be-
lieved the report will take strong grounds
for fixing the next years sealing catch
at lower limit than that of last year.

FOUGHT FIVE HOURS.
General Lung Defeated by
General Katsura.
THE CHINESE SHOWED BRAVERY

At Last Accounts the Second Army Of
Japan Was Only Ten Miles From New
Chwang, and Would Reach That City
on Sunday, December 30.
LONDON, December 25.-The Antong
correspondent OF the Central News
agency says that General Yamaji's divi-
zion of the second Japanese army has
advanced northward steadily for month
and December 10 occupied Kai Ping. No
defense was made. December II scouts
reported to Lieutenant-G General Katsura,
then near Laio Yang, that a large force
of Chinese had been seen moving in the
direction of Laio Yang. This force
proved to be the defeated garrison of Hal
Chang under the command of General
Lung. The Chinese had fed with all
possible speed ever since the 18th, when
their position was captured by the en-
envy. They were then in rather de-
moralized condition, and were making
for Moukden. Katsura decided to inter-
cept them. He left camp the night of
the 18th with his whole force, and the
next morning overlook the Chinese at
the village of Kung Wasai, where they
made an obstinate stand, although in
poor condition. They were nearly 1O,-
900 strong, and were able to force some
fierce fighting upon the Japanese. In
the midst of the battle Oshima's brigade
from Hal Chang came up and gave Kat
sura active support. The Chinese held
,r,>,;c;<so. brox,orx, Tbov focoJ
the well-directed fire from five Japanese
though without effective organization.
The Japanese infantry charged twice
through the scattered lines, but the en-
emy rallied. Three bayonet charges
eventually won the day for Katsura after
five hours of hottest fighting yet expert
enced by the second army. The Chinese
faltered as the third advance began, and
thew fled in disorder toward Ying KOw.
The losses are not known, but the Chi
nese are reported to have left 500 men
on the field.

months ago in Meagher county, Mon
tana, Bill Gay and his brother-in-law,
Harry Gross, while resisting arrest on
charge of robbery, killed Deputy sherifs

The TWO-thirds Rule.

Representative 10 Abbott of Texas said
tonight that he thought there would be an
effort made in the next Democratic ma
tional convention to change the rule which
provides that two-thirds majority shall
be necessary for the choice of nominees for
the presidency and vice presidency. This
rule might be changed by the convention
by majority vote, and although it has
never been deviated from since the organi-
zation of the Democratic party 1t Is
thought the silver delegates will seek to
change 1t as the only hope they will have
to nominate n silver man. 1t Is generally
conceded that the silver people will not be
able TO muster two.thirds vote for sill
yer candidate In the Democratic national
convention, though 1t Is thought likely
they might get majority for such can
didate. But there Is a long seated opposi-
tion among the party men against chang
ing rule that has grown so venerable as
that requiring a two~thirds majority for
the nomination of candidate for the pres
idency. Louis Globe Democrat.

Senator Blackburn's Voice.

Senator Blackburn's Washington friends
are greatly exercised over the numerous
and seemingly well verified reports from
Kentucky that he is losing his voice. Take
Senator Blackburn S voico away from him,
and he would be of about as much avail us
broken legged horse in three minute
race. Wonderful stories are told of the
senator's exploits as a long distance talker,
and If he is famed for anything else people
have forgotten 1t. He has been known to
make three speeches of two to four hours
each in day and evening, making long
jumps between meetings and staying up
all night with the "boys, gait he had
no apparent trouble travelling for weeks at
q stretch. Old Colonel Dick Wintersmith
of Kentucky trotted with Blackburn
through one of these memorable cam
paigns, and the senator's endurance filled
that seasoned veteran with unspeakable
amazement. Senator" no said one day,
"if you don't let up, you will kill yourself.
The only way out of it for you that can
see is for you to wind your mouth up for
four or five hours and give your body IA
chance to sleep. Washington Special.

DySine hiS recent trip To Nashville
Chsuncsy M. Depew passed over three
great railroad systa,ns and met number
OF railroad men, with whom he talked
about railroad affairs He said the other
day;
'sWith the business OF tho country In an
unusually healthy condition, with indus
tries reviving on all sides with tho greatest
rapidtty, and with crops already assured or
sxoesdingly promising, everything ought
10 be moving on and upward with bound
The country has never had 80 much money
Confidence IL almost, completely restored,
and new enterprises for the employment Of
capital and labor should speedily be under
way There Is only one drawback TO the
rosy outlook for nations prosperity
This drawback IL the persistent rate cut
ting which railway managers seem unable
to control. We have earnestly tried during
the last six months, during which time wo
have held many meetings and adopted
many devices, only to have them fall to
pieces through the lack Of good faith on
the part Of some railway managers To put
an end to this practice. The well known
fact that u chain Is no stronger than its
weakest link applies to the maintenance Of
rates where there are SO many compet-
itors."
Mr.. Depew's approaching trip to Europe
led him to sum up tho political situation
AZ 1t stands today, and then he said that
no wondered how things would have
swung around before he got back. He said
"Of course as have said, am in favor
OF Morton. He has great strength. New
York is still the pivotal state. Governor
Morton has demonstrated that he can carry
th. ,t.ta ,l...l,.
He Is safe, conservative man. l think
that II the national convention were held
tomorrow Governor Mckinley Of Ohio
would be the choice He seems to me to
be the leading candidate today. He is pop
ular In New York and would draw well
accordingly. Allison seems to have gained
strength recently, but / cannot cite any
tangible reason. Harrison Is, however, the
overwhelming possibility in the path of
each candidate. Men discuss these things
daily, and such discussions lead to varying
opinions as to who has gained and who
has lost strength. Leave aside state can
didates and see the result. Antowa man
Is for Allison. In the convention, say, he
Is told that Allison cannot have the nomi-
nation. Then he says We'll, what about
Harrisonl He gave us good administra-
tion, didn't hep That is the way it goes.
Much depends upon the date and future
incidents"
Speaking Of the Industrial prospects OF
the country, Mr.. Dcpew said
II passed through Ohio, New York,
Kentucky and Tennessee during my trip.
Everywhere I found prospects Of great
crops. This coupled with restored conf
dence and sound money system, will
give to this country for the next two years
an era OF unknown prosperity. 1t will re-
dound to the credit of the Republican
party, and we will go to the polls next
year and elect our candidate by an enor-
nous majority"
