THE nBRARY APPROPRIATION


At the city council meeting tonight
the question Of appropriating out OF
the funds Of the city the monthly sum
of fifty dollars. or any other sum for
the support Of the public library Il
likely to he the leading topic Of dis
cusslon and consideration. Whdle we
would have II distinctly understood
that 1t is now, as 1t ever uniformly
has been the policy of the Astorian to
heartily favor and encourage every IN
ntitution and public movement tending
to the culture and better enllghten-
fnent Of the masses OF our citizens, we
yet feel It our duty to respectfully and
earnestly remonstrate against piece
OF extravagance so manifestly and fla
grantly unjust and improper, consider
Ing the condition OF the times and the
depleted state of the city's treasury.
Perhaps never in the history of the
city has the burden and strain Of the
obligation to pay public taxes been
felt as 1t has this year. and 1t is en-
tirely within the truth to say that
many citizens who never knew the
heavy hand OF poverty before In their
lives, have been obliged TO deny them.
selves and families many OF the COM
forts, and some of the necessaries Of
life In order to avoid the pains and
penalties Of detaulted taxes, For the
city council to take any part of this
blood money and apply It in the name
OF public spirit CT benevolence to the
maintenance Of the luxury OF free
library would be the height OF folly,
and a downright wrong and injustice.
What matter n our library. like many
similar institutions all over the land,
have TO temporarily close It's doors?
Has not the city council already IN the
name Of retrenchment and economy
encroached upon and decreed an un-
popular and unjustihable reduction in
the miserable pittance heretofore al
lowed for the protection Of the homes
and business of citizens against the
dreadful calamity OF fire? And will Il
now dare to saddle the people with an (
additional burden, unknown On the days 4
OF their prosperity, In order to crafty 1

VIOLENTLY INSANE.
Miss Mary Delaney VIII BE Sent to
the Asylum.

Miss Mary Delaney VIII BE Sent to
the Asylum.
Mary Delaney, the Milwaukee woman
to burn st. Dominic's and ST. Patrick's
Churches LIST Thursday, is violently in
sane. so Warden Leonard of the Jail re-
ported to Judge Miller today, and he is
anxious to get her away from the Jail.
The wardens visit to the Police Court was
for the purpose of having the woman's case
called for trial as soon as possible.
Miss Delaney was committed to Jail Sat-
urday, as printed in The Star, and the case
was set for trial on Wednesday,
While the police were satisfied that the
prisoners mind was not evenly balanced,
she had not become violent while being de-
tanned in the station. She had told of her
church going, and said she had been called
a crank. but never has she admitted that
she applied the match at either of the
churches mentioned.
When she reached the Jail Saturday after
noon she seemed as much composed as at
any time since her arrest, but incarcera-
ton in the prison had bad effect on her,
and she became so violent that two guards
had TO remain in the cell all night. She
was very noisy and violent, and the warden
feared she might do some injury. In her
rawlings she talks about religion, but so far
as the guards know she had not said any,
thing about the fires.
Judge Miller realized the necessity of
having the woman sent from the Jail to
the asylum, and directed that she be sent
to court tomorrow morning. when only the
question of sanity will be inquired into.
nrs. Shute and Jackson examined the
woman this morning and pronounced her
insane

The WALES Case Settled.

The case Of Sidney I. Wales against the
controller of the state of Maryland, decid-
ed in the United States Supreme Court
today, presented interesting points of law.
Wales was authorized by the state legisla-
ture to prosecute to settlement all claims
of the state against the government for
contingent fees of 80 per cent of the
amount recovered. In 1891 the amounts
of the direct tax of 1861 We're refunded to
the states by act of Congress, and WALES
began proceedings by petition for man
damus to secure from the controller SILL
3S994. The Maryland court Of appeals
held that the state had no claim against
the government for the direct tax since
that tax had been lawfully assessed After
ward WALES accepted $4,000 in full of all
demands for his services in the matter.
The Supreme Court in its opinion by JUS
tice White sustained all of the findings
of the Maryland court, held also that the
acceptance of $4,000 in full barred Wales
from further prosecution of the attempt
to collect a fee, and also that there was
no federal question involved.

CHIEFS OF POLICE.
The National Union to Meet Here Il
NAV.

The National Union to Meet Here In
May.
The second annual meeting of the Ma.
ticnal Chiefs of Police Union will convene
in this city May II next, and it promises to
be an important and interesting convention
Since its organization the union has grown
rapidly, and has assumed such proportions
that there is not the slightest doubt but
what 1t will become a permanent institu-
ton. The work done and good accomplish
ed has already been of great value to those
identified with it.
Since the organization of the national
body. unions have been formed in many of
the states, the state associations not only
rendering mutual assistance in police work,
but they have been of material benefit to
the service and the public in securing the
passage and enforcement of needed legisla-
ton. The National Union occupies the
position Of advisory board to the several
state associations At the coming conven-
ticn reports will be made by the following
committees, which were appointed last
year:
To investigate and report upon the latest
and best improvements of jails, prison
cages aid disinfectants.
To secure government rates of telegraph
service for all police departments.
To investigate and report in the matter
of the latest improvements in the police
telephone system and the latest and best
improved humane appliances for restrain
ing refractory prisoners and violent and in
sane persons.
To investigate and report upon the latest
improvements of patrol wagons, harness,
arms and equipment used in the police ser
vice.
Among the important matters brought
forward from the last meeting is the pro-
posed establishment, in connection with the
Department of Justice of the United States,
of bureau for the Identification of crimi-
nails end the dissemination of criminal in
formation
The adoption of a police telegraph code
will also be considered.
While the delegates to the convention
will defray their own expenses. it is pro-
posed that the visiting officials be extended
such social Inequalities as the occasion
would warrant. 1t is suggested that the
various points of interest in and around
Washington. including Mt. Vernon, be in
cluded in such program as may be ar
ranged. How to defray the expenses of
such entertainment as should be provided
for the visitors Is a matter Maj. Moore of
the local department has under considera-
ton, there being no public fund available
for such purposes. A committee of citizens
will be selected by Maj. Moore, who will
no doubt see to it that proper arrangements
are made for the event in that direction.

THAT LAND SYNDICATE CASE.

What the Referees Report In the
SpnldinE and Dnteman Suit Shows.
A statement telegraphed from New York
and published on the I'D instant, purport-
ing to give the substance of the decision
made by the referee in the case of Spald-
ing VS.. Batenan ct al, involving the pos
session of certain real estate in this city,
seems to have been, in some respects, In
accurate. A copy Of the report Of the ref
cree has been received in this city, and 1t
shows that some serious mistakes occurred
in the Geographic report, through the con-
fusion of the names of the parties in the
suit. The litigation grew out of dis
pute concerning the rights and interests Of
the plaintiffs and defendants in a tract Of
land of about eighty acres adjoining this
city. The summary of the testimony made
by the referee shows that Henry d. Green,
who was at the time an employe of Bate
man & Co., in June, 1885, discovered or
heard that the property known as the
kengla property was for sale, and COM
municated with Arthur Il. Bateman about
it. Green informed Bateman that the
property could be bought from kengla for
$4,000 one-fourth to be paid in cash. Bate
man authorized Green to buy the property
on these terms and then, it appears, i'm
mediately organized a syndicate. inducing
the several persons who became interested
to join with him and his partner, Douglas
Green, to buy the property, representing
the only money contributed at the start,
$1,000. was that given by Spalding, Duraad
and Sheldon, and which was paid to Ar
thur E.. Bateman, Douglas Grenn and
Arthur f. Bateman, seemingly, having
never paid their share. The referees report
shows also that subsequently,, through
Bateman's order, Douglas Green, trus-
tee, had, without the knowledge of Shell
don, Durand and Spalding, borrowed 100000
on the property. The referee, after long
review of the case, decides that Durand
having assigned his interest in the prop
erty to Spaldipg, Spalding and Sheldon
are entitled to the whole property.
The referees report finds that Durand
and Sheldon contributed all the money that
was advanced by the syndicate; that Ar
thur E. Bateman and Douglas Green paid
nothing under the syndicate agreement
and probably did not intend to do so when
they entered into it; they received the
money of the plaintiff, Durand and Shell
don in fiduciary capacity. charged with
the duty to apply it toward the cost of
the property"
Henry D. Green had nothing to do with
the organization of the syndicate or with
the transactions between it's members, his
connection with the affair ceasng after he
purchased the property from Kengla for
$4,000. The report also shows that Bate
man had before that time told H. D. Green
If he could find a cheap piece of property
he would place it for him in New York
so Henry d. Green could make some
money And the report says all testimony
that H. D. Green was paid any other money
excepting the $50 which he paid kengla
as the first cash payment is untrue.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Mrs. Wilson tells a story about Carlyle
and Thackeray which has been told before
but which may be new to some readers
Several artists at the Royal Academy
dinner, sitting in the neighborhood of these
great men, were expressing their enthu-
siasm about Titan. His glorious colorins
is a fact about Titan" said one; land his
glorious drawing is another fact about
Titan" said second. So they went on
till Carlyle, who had been listening in
silence to their rhapsodies, interrupted
them by saying, with a slow elaboration
which had its own impressive emphasis
'And here sit, man made in the image
of God, who knows nothing about Titan
and cares nothing about Titian-and that's
another fact about Titan" Thackeray
was slipping claret at the moment. He
paused and lowed courteously to Carlyle
Pardon me-" he said, that is not a fact
about Titan. But 1t is a fact-and a la
mentable fact-about Thomas Carlyle"

Mrs. Emily Crawford Describes Her

Condition as Serious.
A special cable dispatch from London to
the New York World yesterday said:
Mrs. Emily Crawford contributes to this

Queen Victoria's serious condition, con-
corning which there is much private dis
cussion. Mrs. Crawford writes that on ar
rival at the railway station at Nice the
queen seemed unable to raise her head

those familiar with court affairs that rheu-
matism of the knees has lately not only
developed complete loss of power over both
legs, but has extended to the back and
arms and that fatal issue is to be feared
at almost any time.

INDICTED THE MARQUIS.
Oscar Wilde's Suit Brought Forward
In the Old Bailey.


LONDON, March 25.-In the Old Bailey
today the recorder, Sir Charles Hall, in
charging the grand jury, referred to the
libel proceedings instituted by Oscar Wilde
against the Marquis of Queensberry. He
said that if the marquis wrote the words
which it is claimed he did upon the card
produced, whether he was justified or not
in 50 doing, it constituted libel. Moreover,
the recorder added, the defendant intended
to plead justification as his defense. The
grand jury eventually returned true bill
against the marquis.
A dispatch from Monte Carlo to the OBJ
server says that after Oscar Wilde and
Lord Alfred Douglas, the second son Of the
Marquis of Queensberry, arrived at that
place recently they went to hotel, but,
after staying there day, the proprietor. at
the request of the other English visitors.

gagged.

Death Of John Fegnn.

Mr.. John Fegan, one Of the oldest and
largest wholesale liq' or dealers in this
city, died at his residence, No. sol street
southwest, shortly after o'clock Sunday
morning. The end came peacefully after
a brief illness of congestion of the lungs:
His physician, DR.. J. J. Stafford, did every
thing that was possible to relieve his pa
tient and prolong life, but it was of nc
avail. Mr.. Fegan was man well known
and universally liked by his friends and
acquaintances, of whom he had q large
circle. He was very charitable, always
contributing literally to charitable and
benevolent purposes. He will be missed
by many who were the recipients of his
kindness and assistance.
