Formal Charge Against the Cover

rormal Charge Against the Cover.
nor of Kansas.
Topeka, Kas., May 1O.-A complaint
charging Governor E. n. Morrill, with
having obtained money under false pre-
lenses, was filed in the office of Justice
OF the Peace Grover this afternoon. 1t is
sworn to by G. w. Peters, store keeper
OF the state penitentiary, and contains
two counts
One charge is that the governor signed
voucher authorizing the auditor of state
10 issue a warrant for $l66 to ]. L. Bris-
tow, and the other that he signed a
voucher authorizing warrant in favor of
Charles Hull for $40, and that the
vouchers both set forth that they were
Tor services rendered to the state
Peters alleges that the amounts named
Were drawn out Of the state treasury,
and have not been covered back; that
they were drawn on false pretenses, and
that it was the duty of the officers of
the law to make thorough investigation
OF the case and if Governor Morrill, should
be guilty he should be punished
Justice Grover said soon after the COM
plant had been filed that he would not
issue a warrant fer Governor Morr1lrs ar
rest until he had been directed to do so
by County Attorney Stafford. Stafford.
when seen, said that there was no evil
dence of false pretense shown in the ex-
animation.
1t is not at all likely that the warrant
will be served on the governor.

JACKSON's VIEWS.
He Has Not Yet Defined Them on
the Income Tax.

the Income Tax.
Washington. May 1O.-The supreme court
premises are as completely deserted by
the members of the court and the public
as though the income tax had never come
up to receive the attention of the court
and attract visitors. 1t had been sup
posed that the court would go into imme-
date consultation after the conclusion of
the argument in the case. but il there has
been any consultation up to date it has
not been held in the conference room at
the Capitol.
Justice Jackson's position, while mat
ter of much speculative interest at this
time, is apparently known to no enc but
himself, unless he has found occasion
within the past day or two 10 acquaint
his fellow members Of the court with his
views.
There is little doubt entertained but
that the courts decision Will be an
nounced next Monday week and there can
be no question Of the general expectation
in Washington that il Will be antagonls-
tic TO the law as a whole, though for this
opinion nothing in the nature OF a definite
fact as to the standing of members of the
decision of the tribunal is advanced.

EFFECTS OF A CLOUDBURST.
Whole Town Was "A Sea of SurginS
Water.

Hermanville. Miss, May 10.-The
cloudburst at this place yesterday did
great damage to property. but no lives
were lost. The downpour of rain was
terrific and the flood overfowed all
the streams in the neighborhood The
town and the surrounding country was
a sea of surging water. Fences, out
houses, etc, were swept from their
foundations, and through the main
street of the town rushed a raging
river five feet in depth. 1t overlooked
many houses, sweeping over the
ground floor and the stock, which
could not be gotten up in time, had
to swim to places of safety. Men had
to give up the task of rescue, as the
water soon rose above their heads. The
people sought safety in second stories
and so far as can be learned no lives
were lost. The wires are all down.

EXCITEMENT AT LEXINGTON.
Negroes and Whites Worked Up
Over a Verdict.

Lexington, KY, May l0.-The negroes
are greatly excited tonight because of
the acquittal Of William Shipp, white,
tried for numbering Samuel Brown,
colored. Browns Octoroon wife had
been Ships mistress before her mar
riage to Brown. The latter caught
Shipp at his house with Mrs. Brown,
and in the fight that followed Brown
was killed. The negroes demanded rep
resentation on the jury, which they did
not get. Then they demanded that
Shipp should be treated as if a colored
man had invaded a white mans house.
They insist that justice has been de-
MED their race in Browns murderer
going free under such circumstances.
The verdict is unpopular with the
whites.

postal service at Detroit, Mich. for the
free delivery and collection of mail mat

Quoted by means of steam launch

London, May ia dispatch to the
Times from Paris says:
VI. HonotauX, minister of foreign af-
fairs. has invited the leading fnanciers to
meet Saturday, to consider the impend-
bOurse might cooperate, and the condi-
tions on which French capital might par

part of NJ. HanotauX is that Russia,
France and Germany. in return for ia
pans pliancy in acceding to their de-
mands, practically engaged to hasten if

the civic federation, which planned the

CHILIAN.BOLIVIA TREATY.
1t Is of Far-Reaching Importance,
Especially to Bolivia.

Washington, May 10.-The conclusion OF
the Chilian-Bolivia treaty is said to be of
far reaching Importance, particularly to
Bolivia, as it makes the latter a Pacific
coast country. after it has been shut in
land for ten years. Officials here say that
when Chilli concluded her war against Peru
and Bolivia, the victors took all the sea-
coast territory of Bolivia, leaving her
Iandlocked, like Switzerland, without OPP
portunity for commerce by the Pacific and
unable 10 maintain a navy. In 1884 4
treaty of truce was affected between Chilli
and Bolivia, but the latter did not get
back her coast territory. After remaining
in for ten years, Bolivia now
gains a Pacific port and d strip OF terri
tory. This will enable her to resume COM
,nerce by the Pacific without crossing
Chilean soil and it will permit re-
establishment of her navy. Minister Cana.
of Chilli, has not been officially advised OF
the conclusion of the treaty.
