determined TO put Il quietuS upon it,
Their influence with the law making

in obedience to their commands. silver

paid one-half of days work for every
dollar that passed into his hands. But
now times are sadly changed. and
through no fault whatever of the pro

sixteen pounds of cotton, or two bush

must be paid for every dollar that goes

ference with Attorney General Harmon

to Gray Cables to discuss the subject with
the President. The hearing Of the case
is set for Aug T. and until Controller
Bowler announces his decision, no one, of

preston in official circles is that the
whole question Of the payment Of these
bounty claims will find its way into the
courts for settlement. These claims should
not be confused with the beet sugar
claims, amounting TO only S23S, coo, although
1t was upon the payment of the latter
that Mr.. Bowler originally based his de-
termination to hear argument.
Before starting for Gray Gables to-day
Senator Cafrery said that the refusal to
pay these claims would mean the flnan-
ciaJ ruin of thousands. The sugar grow

This comes at a very inopportune time

he is unable to perceive that the importa-

the prohibition contained in section 10
Of the act of congress Of Aug %, 1894.
"If the exhibition Of bull fighting IS pro-
hibited by the laws of the state Of Geor-
gia," says Mr.. Hamlin. "as is claimed,
then It is presumed that the authorities
Of that state will prevent it, but the sub
ject does not appear to come within the
jurisdiction Of the department"
This afternoon Commissioner General
Stumph also sent a letter to Mr. Ballou
in reference 10 the admission into the
United States Of torreadors from Mexico
to engage in bull fighting a Atlanta Mr.
Ballou had protested against admitting
them, as ii was a violation Of the immi-
grafton and contract labor laws. Mr.
Stumph called Mr.. Ballous attention to
the joint resolution Of congress providing
for certain regulations for the govern
ment OF the exposition, and stated that
under the terms of the joint resolution the
department could interpose no obstacle
