TRUE BILL RETURNED.
In the Proceedings Instituted by
Oscar Wilde.

London, March 26.--In old Bailey
the recorder, Sir Charles Hall, in
charging the grand jury, referred 10
the libel proceedings instituted by Os-
car Wilde against the Marquis of
Queensberry. He said that If the mar
quis wrote the words which 1t Is
claimed he did upon the card pro-
duced, whether he was justified or
not in doing so, 1t constituted libel.
Moreover, the recorder added, the de-
PENDANT intended to plead justification
as his defence. The grand jury event
ually returned true bill against the
marquis.
A dispatch from Monte Carlo says
that after Oscar Wilde and Lord Al
fred Douglas, the second son OF the
Marquis of Queensberry, arrived at
that place recently they went to a
hotel But after staying there day,
the proprietor, at the request of other
English visitors, informed them that
their rooms were engaged. Both
Wilde and Lord Alfred are now in
London.

will not violate any of the principles
of international law and equity.

DEBS CASE BEGUN.
Arguments Made Before the Federal
Supreme Court.

Washington, March &c. The United
States supreme court began the hear
of arguments in the case of Eugene v.
Debs, president of the American Rail-
way union, and others who particlpat-
ed with him in the Chicago strike in
the summer of 1894. The counsel num-
bered three on the side of the defend
ants, headed by Lyman Trumbull and
including s. S. Gregory and G. :.
Darrow, Attorney General Olney, AS
sistant Attorney General Whitney
and Edwin Walker special United
States attorney appeared for the gov
eminent.
Debs and his associates ask for q
writ of habeas corpus retrieving them
from the sentence of Imprisonment
passed upon them by Judge Woods, of
the United States circuit court for the
northern district of Illinois, In Decem-
Der last, on the charge of contempt in
failing to obey the injunction of the
court requiring them to desist from in
terfering with the transportation of
mails or passengers or freight, and al
so from preventing the employees of
railroads from transacting their bust
ness.
The fact developed that the main
contention of the petitioners would he
that the original bill stated no case
eognizable in chancery and that there
fore the injunction was void and that
the persons at whom it was aimed
were not bound to observe it. In sup
port of this proposition they asserted
that the statutory authority from con-
gress to the government could main
tain no such bill and no such authori-
ty could be found unless it be in the
act of 1890, known as the Sherman
trust act. But they contended that
this act was not applicable, or If 1t was
applicable. that section Of it, author
izing such proceedings, was unconsti-
tutional because of its involving pro-
eeedlngs in ehancery in such case
that 1t deprived defendants on trial
under the penal attitude of their right
of trial by jury, contrary to the sixth
amendment to the constitution.
1t was 1910 when the case was
called and on motion of Mr.. Trumbull
three hours We're allowed to each side
to present their case.
Mr.. Walker concluded with the adj
journment of court, leaving only two
arguments still to be made-that Of
Attorney General Olney for the gov
eminent and barrow for the petition
ers.

bezzlement Made by McNulta.

Chicago March ga most sensa-
tional report has been submitted to
Receiver McNulta of the whisky trust

been examining the books of the
Greenhut management of the CON
cern.
Charges of Juggling accounts. doc
torlng" books and similar work are
made, The report asserts that former
directors and officers, by disposing of
stock to themselves. have left dis
crepancy Of S1,924120, The report
states that 3i,9S4 shares of stock We're
sold by the officers and directors to
themselves at ~ cents on the dollar,

untangled. Cen. McNulta refused TO

REBATE VOUCHERS GOOD.
Claim OF the Whisky Trust Under
Recent Decisions.

Peoria, ILL.,, March 22.-John S,
Stevens, attorney of the Distillers and
Cattle Feeders company, said that the
decision Of the United States circuit
court in favor of Gottschalk & Co
for $751; did not affect the validity
of rebate certificates at all, because
in this case the court held there had
been no violation of the conditions
of certificates; that is tie plaintiffs
had not dealt in outside goods. Mr.
Stevens said several cases had been
tried upon the validity of the condi.
tons of the rebates and rebate youch-
ers, and in every case the courts have
held that holders of rebates must com
ply with the conditions upon which
they are promised, as a condition pre-
cedent to any right Of recovery. In
all these cases the rebates have been
sustained

Winnipeg, Man., March 20. The
remedial order of the governor geu-
eral in council, calling upon the gov
eminent of Manitoba to restore to the
Roman Catholics their parochial or pri-
yate schools, has reached the city. 1t
was addressed to the lieutenant gov
ernor, and by him transmitted to the
legislature which was sitting in readi-
ness to receive it. The legislative
chamber was crowded with an intense
ly earnest gathering when the i'm
portant document was delivered. 1t
was voluminous document and re-
viewed all the evidence taken before
the privy council by England, which
body declared the Catholics of Man.
itoba had grievance and the gov
ernor general in council had the power
and authority to grant redress by the
remedial order. The tenor and Ian
guage of the order leaves no opening
for compromise. 1t Is committed to
Manitoba to submit and plainly says
that, If the legislature does not obey,
the governor general or, more accurate
ly speaking, the dominion government
will enforce its authority. No definite
action has been taken. After the or
der was read it was laid on the table
for future consideration. That the or
der will be rejected may be taken for
certain. OF forty mebers of the legis-
latnre, only four or five will vote
against the rejection.
Premier Greenway has been inter-
viewed and said: This trouble is not
of our own making. We claim the
right to make our own laws and this
right we will not give IN without a
struggle. The governor generals or
der will be rejected in it's entirety. The
dominion parliament will then be
armed with the jurisdiction to impose
upon Manitoba law to which an over
whelming majority of its people are
opposed. 1t will be wise for parlla-
ment, as Gladstone once said, TO think
once, think twice, think thrice, before
coercing loyal and law-abiding com
munity. Few in numbers, though they
may be, they will never submit to this
unjust coercion. This is a struggle
for our rights"
Fight for Rights.
The sensational feature of the trou-
BILE was the announcement that the do
minion cabinet had just passed the re-
midial order, had appointed one of its
own members, J. G.. Patterson, minis
ter Of militia, to take the place of Pre-
mier Greenway. This change is be-
lieved by the Manitoba government to
be that of the dominion authorities
who want man as governor more PHI
able to their wishes, and who will I'M
hesitatingly carry out their mandate.
Manitoba has always contended it's
governor should be Manitoba citizen
and thus this unlocked for action has
only added fuel to flames.

Senator Putnam said last night after

of the university and normal schools

of the state is their treasurer in each
case, but not as state treasurer, and
in theory the money appropriated TO
these boards is not kept in the state
treasury at all and the legislature can
