refused, he was today permitted the

Went 4" Stall' for Him.

An incident occurred in a down.
town restaurant last week. 1t fur
nished amusement for one or two
patrons, but for some reason did not
appeal to the proprietor's sense Of
humor.
A man fairly we'll dressed entered
and sat down at one OF the tables
for moment, then seeing a good
natured looking man across the
room, deliberately went over to him
and said: "Cau't you set me up to
. meal"
well, guess not" was the reply.
"But what's the use Of going hun
cry! You can come to this table,
order what you like and l will go
stall for you.'
The man ordered an elaborate
meal, which he ate deliberately.
Then the two men rose, and as the
good-natured man stopped up to the
desk the stranger stood for a mo-
ment or two in the door unconcern-
eddy and then walked of.
"You pay for twoi' said the pro-
prietor, as the good-natured man
laid down even change on the check.
swell, hardly" was the answer.
"Didn't that man come with youi"
"No. ! never saw him before"
Il am not running a free lunch"
said the proprietor, getting angry.
"And / am not paying for every
body who comes in here, you fool.
Why did you let him get away fort"
And the irate proprietor was left to
take his spite out on an innocent
waiter.

Does the United States Intend to
Recede from the Tripartite Pro-
tectionP
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 16.-A
question has been raised by the ap.
pearance OF the sundry civil appro-
priation bill whether the admins
tration is not attempting to carry
into effect President Cleveland's re-
commentator that the United
States recede from its part in the
tripartite protectorate over Samoa
by refraining from asking Congress
to appropriate any money to defray
our share Of the expense.
Last years sundry civil contained
an item under the head OF the de-
partment OF state for carrying out
the Samoan agreement, but from
this years bill the clause is conspi-
cuously missing. Chairman Sayers
says that no request has been re.
ceived from the department of state
for any funds for the purpose OF the
protectorate.
Secretary Gresham has several
times suggested that the United
States recede from any participation
in the government OF Samoa and his
views were made the subject OF
strong paragraph in the presidents
last message. In accordance with
these views the administration has
for some time neglected to station a
warship at the islands, although it
was . feature OF the agreement that
ships should be kept at Apia, and it
was understood that the three ma
tions would alternately be repre-
sented.

OFFICIAL CROP REPORT.
Estimates OF Corn and Wheat Remaining In
the Hands OF Farmers.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE crop report OF
the Department OF Agriculture for the month of
March consists principally of estimates OF the
distribution of corn and wheat the stocks re-
manning in the hands OF farmers, and the proper
tions OF merchantable and unmerchantable.
The report is based on county estimates of the
percentage of last years product remaining in
first hands. obvious errors and Inconsistencies of
statement being corrected and differences har-
monized. All grain in the hands of farmers. in
cudins amounts remaining over from previous
years, are embraced in tho estimates given.
The corn on hand, US estimated, aggregates
J56+, 40 bushels, 39.2 per cent. OF the last
crop. This proportion has been exceeded but
four times in the last ten years. The consump-
ton Of corn for eight months is an unusually
amounts of wheat fed to stock.
Tho aggregate sold from farms to go beyond
county boundaries is l62. 2.034, $40 bushels, or
1874 per cent. OF the crop. The proportion mer-
charitable is 0O0.IOO,6UO bushels or S2.4 per
cent The values returned for merchantablo
corn average +I.S, for unmerchantable 2S.G.
making an aggregate value OF SjOS.7l3, l90.
which is S4G,OOO0OO less than the Decem ber
valuation OF the crop and average 4l.0 per
buSnel.
The estimated amount of wheat in farmers
hands is 15,OOO,OOO bushels, or l6.3 per cent. of
the last CROP, and is 32, 100000 bushels less
than last March. The explanation for this in
large measure is to be found in the fact that
largo quantities have been fed to hogs and other
stock. Returns from North and South Dakota
Nebraska, and Kansas indicate Unprecedented
exhaustion OF last years crop, correspondents in
many counties reporting not enough on hand for
spring seed ard necessary food supply.

COLD SPRING HARBoR, March 11.-Capt. Henry
c. Bunce of this place is very much puzzled
over robbery that took place in his house last
night. Some one got away with $4,000 in
notes, but not in good and lawful money OF these
United States. They were unsigned Haytian
notes. and worth just what they would bring
for waste paper Tho Captain had 81 90, 900 of
them at face value. and short time ago some
one entered his house and relieved him OF
100000 worth OF them.
He valued the notes because they represented
an experience he had in Hayti in 1870. At that
time he was in command Of tho schooner Ann
Dole. His mate was George s. Keen. and the
cook Foster Van Ansdall OF this village. He had
agreed to carry away from Hayti President Do
mingue and Rameau. the Prime Minister, and
bring them to the United States. The two off,
cials were to sign the notes that had been given
to the Captain for their passage after they got
aboard Of the schooner. Before tho two run

home, they, made presents Of them to their
25 and 80 cents and 81. 81. and S.
Capt. Buncc has n large collection OF relics of
one kind and another. Among them is a toma.
hawk used by him in Australia, and which he
says was the means of saving his life on several
occasions when he got into close quarters with
wild blacks and bushrangers. Another is a
scoot horn" used many years ago by sailors to
tho wind so that their craft could escape from
pursuing privateers. The Captain has an old
fashioned English camp oven that was brought
Willetts. who settled at st. James. The Cap.
tain has also two sets Of candlesticks more than
150 years old, and a large collection Of old and
rare books.
He said to-day that he should make every et-
fort to ascertain who stole his IIaytain notes.

HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE,
The Company Desires to Know How Much
Time It Has to File Amended Plans.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE Now York and
New Jersey Bridge Company, by it's Secretary,

requesting Ito be informed upon the question as
to what length of time is available, under all
the circumstances, to file plans in accordance

single span from pier head to pier head"
Mr. Swan said tonight that tho company de-
sired to send the general specifications TO all
responsible bridge builders in this country and
Europe for bids, and tho competition would be
much greater II the company could specify the
exact time allowed by the Secretary OF War for
the ming OF plans Some construe the act OF
Congress, said Mr.. Swan, TO mean that plans
must be In tho War Department prior to June :,
1898, but the bridge company believes that
having filed an acceptance OF the provisions OF
the act. and filed its plans for a canti-
lever bridge. it is not limited as to ,time for
filing amended plans.
The Secretary of War" he said "is the one
to decide that question, and trust he will give
1t his prompt attention, and enable the com
pany to definitely state the time when all plans
must be before the New York State Commits
sion and filed with the Secretary OF War"

DccisIon OF the New York Court OF APP
pcais Reversed-Justice Gray's Opinion.

pcaIs Reversed-JusticeG Gray's Opinion.
wAsHiNGroN. March ia libel case was
discussed in the Supreme Court OF the United
States to-day by Justice Gray in an opinion rem
dered in the case OF Catherine Cooley agt. the
Norniny Ners OF New Haven. Conn. The plain
tfr, who is a resident Of the State OF New York,
sued the Ncirs Company in u New York State
court for $4,000 damages by alleged ibellous
publication. Service was secured on the Presi-
dent OF the NerS Company while temporarily in
Now York, and he pctitionod for u removal of
the cause to the Federal court. This was ordered
by the Circuit Court for the Southern District of
New York, from which order the plaintiff ap-
pcaled to the supreme Court OF the United
States
Reviewing tho case, Justice Gray said that
the first question presented was as to the suffi-
cheney OF the service upon the President of tho
defendant corporation while casually and tenn
porarily present in the state of New York. to
give the state Court jurisdiction. Tho Nsus
had no property In that State. and had appointed
no agent to represent it there. Under these
conditions the New York Court of Appeals had
decided that service obtained was sufficient
to give the State courts jurisdictions: but tho
Circuit Courts of the United States and the SUI
preme Court had decided that IL was not sufii-
supreme Court of tho United States had estab-
lished the rule that such service not
valid. 1t was argued with some plausibility said
Justice Gray. that the President of the defend
ant corporation had practically accepted service
by appearing to petition for removal OF the
case 10 the Federal court. But that was n
special appearance, as tho record showed. for
the single purpose OF enabling counsel TO make
the motion for removal, and reserved all rights
that the defendant possessed. That being the
case aud the petition for removal having been
hled within the time prescribed by law, the
Judgment OF tho Circuit Court ordering the re-
moval to be made was affirmed.
