KERsNER WILL BE TRIED
First Time a Naval Onicer Has Been Charged
with False Swearing.

with False Swearing.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Secretary Her
bert has issued an order for the trial by
court martial Of Medical Inspector Edward
Kersner of the navy, the feet surgeon of the
North Atlantic squadron. The charges, while
indirectly the outgrowth Of his refusal while
in Admiral Meade's flagship, the New York,
at Barbados to visit a sick sailor on a
Norwegian bark, on the ground that his visit
might endanger the health Of the personnel
Of the flagship, are really based on two
charges. The first is that he violated the
regulations in writing a report to the sur
geon general at Brooklyn, instead Of confning
himself to the authorized channels. The
second charge is that which takes the case
out Of the ordinary run Of court martias. for
1t accuses the officer of scandalous conduct,
tending to the destruction Of good morals,
in falsely testifying that he did not make
these reports as charged in the inquiry con-
Quoted on the flagship. 1t is said at the
Navy department that this is the first time
in the memory Of the office when naval
officer has been charged with false swearing.
The court martial will be held in New
York on Monday, and the court will be COM
possd of officers of high rank, headed by

DRAWS the LINE ON ISDIviDUALs
European Governments win Not he Allowed
to Go llect Private l. Lebts by Force.


WASHINGTON, May Although the
State department has sanctioned the princj-
pie Of the right Of an European nation to col
lect an indemnity for a national insult offered
to 1t by an American nation, or to secure
redress for the abuse or i'll treatment Of its
citizens and infringement OF their property
rights 1t can safely be predicted It will not
under any circumstances permit any Euro
pean government to attempt 10y the display
OF force to collect moneys owing by the South
or Central American states to individuals on
account Of moneys loaned. In 1881 Secretary
Blaine wrote to United states Minister Noyes
at Paris, at time when the French govern
ment was about to undertake a demonstration
against Venezuela to force that country to
meet payments to French bondholders on ac-
count Of the national debt, that the United
States would regard with grave anxiety
any attempt on the part Of France to force
by hostile pressure the payment by Venezuela
of her debt to French citizens, and even before
this the doctrine had been well established.
Notwithstanding the pressure that was brought
to bear by the great financial centerS Of
Europe to have their governments under
take the collection Of debts owing to them.
Therefore there is no ground for apprehon-
sion of a forcible attempt by the British to
collect debts owing by Honduras to British
bondholders on account Of a government
loan, and this same doctrine may be at this
time of great comfort to many Of the small
republics Of this hemisphere that have been
Obliged by the stress Of hard times and revo-
lutions to default in the payment Of the inter
est and principal Of their national debts
The position taken by the State department
is that there is no rule of international law
authorizing the use Of force to collect indi-
vidual debts, and that persons who take
bonds issued on account Of the national debts
Of American republic must take the
chances of their collection in the ordinary
way, putting themselves on a footing of the
inhabitants of the country borrowing the

Anxious to fave the Suit Against Her
Husbands Estate Pushed.


WASHINGTON, May 1.-Mrs Leland
Stanford has arrived in Washington
from San Francisco and last night
had an interview with the attorney
general regarding the government suit
against her husbands estate. She was
particularly anxious to have the suit ex-
pe1ited as rapidly as possible and was as
sured by Mr.. Olney that he had been from the
first anxious to have the case heard at the
first opportunity, and would give the neces-
sary instructions to the United States at
torney at San Francisco. On account of
bonds issued by the government to the
Central Pacific Railroad company and the
accrued interest there will soon boone due
to the government about 5000 900, Under
the laws of the state Of California each
stockholder Of a corporation Is individually
liable for his proportion Of its debts. The
Stanford estate owns about one-quarter, or
SIS, 900 900, of the Central Pacific stock, and
hence It's alleged liability to that amount.
Suit was brought in anticipation of the fail
ure Of the stockholders to meet this obliga-
tion. 1t is thought that the suit may be
brought up in the United States supreme
court for hearing at the next October term.

Bureau Chiefs submit Two Reports on the
New Gunboats


New Gunboats.
WASHINGTON, May, 1.-For the first
time in its history the Board of Naval Blu
reau Chiefs have come to an absolute dis
agreement and have been obliged SO to report
to Secretary Herbert, leaving him to de-
termine which side is right. The disagree
ment grows out of the designs for the six
new gunboats for which plans were pre-
pared by the construction bureau. There are
two reports on the subject, one signed by
four members Of the board totally disapprov-
Ing Of the plans, and one signed by two
msmbers, vigorously upholdlng them. The
four members objected that the boats pro-
posed will draw fourteen feet of water and
so would not meet the requirements Of the
act Of congress, which describes them as
light draught gunboats. 1t is held that the
fitting Of the vessels with a complete full
sail power is mistake, as the experience of
the department with such vessels as the
Adams shows that no steamer fitted with
sails can beat against the wind, and there
fore the sails will be almost useless in aver
age conditions. On the other hand, the sup
porters of the plans undertake to demon
strate that the vessels will be efficient and
very much more economical than boats with
out sails, arguing that criticism is founded
on vessels not given full sail power and Civ

Day & Hess and sold thsm note and mort
gage bearing Russell's signature. When the
note became due Russell paid it. Later on
Mrs. Cosgrove sprang a note on him, and to
his surprise the new note and the one he
had paid were copies of one another Mrs
Cosgrove claimed that Bilger had forged
the note and her signature, assigning it to
Day & Hess and that the note she held was
the only true note. Now Russell is suing
Day & Hess for the $4O0 he paid them. and
Judge Smith will have the pleasure Of de-
Gliding which OF the two notes is genuine and
