DEBS GOES TO JAIL

WASHINGTON, May q, 1S95.-The Su-
preme Court today, in an opinion read
by Chief Justice Fuller, denied the mo-
ton for writ of habeas corpus filed by
Debs and his associates of the Railroad
Union, and they will have to serve the
sentence imposed upon them by the
Court.
The pleas, it will be remembered, arose
in the United States Circuit Court of the
Northern District of Illinois. Debs and
others disobeyed the order of the court
enioining them from further interfer-
ence with interstate commerce and the
carrying of the United States mails.
They were brought before the court
for contempt and sentenced to from
three to six months Imprisonment.
The case to be brought before the Su-
preme Court on a motion for leave to
file a petition for writ of habeas corpus,
which was fully argued by Debs' coun-
sci on the one side and Attorney General
Olney on the other. The decision of the
Chief Justice sustains the action of the
court below

POLYGAMOUs MARRIAGES.
Presbyterians General Assembly
8Yan,f ExcIude Indian Converts.

PITTSBURG, May q, 1S9o.-The last
days session of the 107th General Assem-
bly, opened this morning with a crowded
docket An overture from the Synod of
India, asking for reply to a memorial
upon the subject of Baptism of Poly
gannous converts was considered. A Mo-
hammodan was admitted to the Church
and he vas allowed to retain both wives
IN his house. A memorial was presented
asking the General Assembly that final
power be given to the Synod of India
in such cases.
A protest against this memorial was
filed and the whole matter was laid be-
fore the Assembly's standing committee
on Church Polity. The answer of the
committee was that no action be taken
on the ground that according to the
book of rules, polygamous marriage was
forbidden and the church session was
the constituted authority to decide upon
the admission of persons to the sacra-
ments.
Dr. Thompson, representing the com
mittee, explained that there was no con-
crete cases before the Assembly and that
the committee was ind.sposed to inter
fere until a judicial case investigating
the question of polygamy was before it.
the authority n judicial cases and that
its special legislation in favor of the
Synod of India was not necessary.
Dr. Morrison, representing the Synod
of India, urged that that body was COM
petent to decide on questions relating to
matters affecting the customs and prac-
tees of India. He held that the recoS-
n3tion of polygamous marriages by the
church in India was absolutely neces-
sary.. Any other rule, he said, would
rule David out of the church He held
that there was but one standard in the
Bible for admission into the church
He explained that the first wife in
India was usually a child-Wife and a
childless wife, and that if the rule were
applied converts would have to put away
/. the second wife who was the wife OF
his heart and the mother of his children
who was usually ready to come into the
church with him and her children also.
while the child-wife was usually retained
under the control of her parents. Under
such a rule the children would be cut
off. frcm the control and support of the
father, and the mother was driven to a
life of shame. He pleaded that the way
to protest against polygamy was to keep
the mother and children under the in
fiuence of the church. He said in answer
to question that it was the practice of
other churches in India to recognize, in
some cases, polygaTnouS marriages.
On motion the whole matter was re,
ferred back to the committee on Church
polity with instructions to amend its an
SWer.

WHEELING To PLAINFTELD.

BUFFALO. May 27. lS95.-The Spalding
team of racing cyclists, consisting of
Sanger, Cabanna. Fred Titus and others
of less prominence, passed through here
this morning en- route to Plainfield, where
the national circuit races open on Decor
alton Day.
Sanger and the rest of the Spalding
party were very outspoken in their con
demnation of the suspension of Eek and
Johnson and spoke of them as martyrs
to Gibson's desire for revenge for an old
time difference with Eek.
Sanger thought. that a professional
under the supervision of the L. A. w. or
some other central organization was
bound to come later on, and that with
such men as Titus, Tyler, Cabanno,
Dirnberger,. johnson, Zimmerman, Crooks,
Banker and Wheeler it would be a sue
cess from the start
1t seemed to be the concensus of
opinion that Gideon's administration of
L. A. W. affairs would soon kill cycle
racing by the scandals which it was
occaSioning

A NEW VIEW OF CHINA.
Julian Ralph's Personal Experiences
In the Flowery Empire.

In the FiOWeTy Empire.
fter reading all about China by twenty
five authors, I supposed that few trav-
elers go there because of its filthy cities,
terribly bad inns, and the hostility of the
people toward foreigners. I supposed
that if anyone did go there he would
certainly be hooted at and hustled, if
not stoned as so many of the heroic au
thors say they were; he would risk
catching the cholera. the small pox, or
the black DEATH and he would sustain
himself upon a diet of rats and cats
amid a dirty poverty stricken people,
swarming upon wretched country.
Even after I reached China found that
there were plenty of Europeans in the
treaty ports who knew no more of the
land on whose edge they live than to re-
peat these callpnnies. In spite of every
thing, travelled about two of the eight
cen provinces. And by choosing the best
part of the empire by carrying a large
stock of that good nature which works
the greatest magic with the Chinese,
and by being properly counselled, en-
joyed the most delightfulof all my jou-
rneys-one so completely delightful that

great army of globe-trotters even to
the most fastidious ladies and the ten
derest children among them.

dirty than 1 have seen in other parts OF
the world-notably Cuba-therefore
avoided all of them except Ka-din, which
proved that not all are especially dirty.

even certain that l saw a single one

slider the Mayors New
Water Specifications.
10 BE SETTLED THIS WEEK
Commissioners Will Confer With
->thhss& Board of Finance So That
Bids May Be Called for
at Once.
10 BE SETTLED THIS WEEK

1t was understood at the meeting to-
day that the Street and Water Com
missioners would adopt by unanimous
vote the specifications for new supply
of water submitted to them by Mayor
Wanser The specifca tions in question
were published in full a few days ago
in the Jersey City News" They pro-
vided for gravity supply, the water to
be delivered at High Service 2lO feet
above mean high tide.
The Street and Water Commissioners
met this morning and after holding a
short session adjourned for the purpose
of comforting as to the advisab.lity of
adopting the specifications without con-
sulting the Finance Commissioners. The
conf>renae- lasted two hours and at the
expiration of that time it was decided to
defer definite action for a few days at
least.
In the meantime conferences will be
held with the Mayor and Finance Com
missioners, and in the event of no recon-
mendations beng made the specifications
will be adopted and sent to the Board
of Finance for concurrence. The outlook
is that there will be no hitch about the
advertising for bids and the final making
of the contract this time.
Commissioner Hooker. in speaking of
the situation. said:-saThe members of
our Board want to get a new supply of
water as soon as possible. We believe it
to be as necessary as do the hundreds
of people who have appealed to US to
act.''
Commissioner Harding is also anxious
to proceed.
"our object in postponing action today
is to confer with the Finance Board and
hear such suggestions as the members
have to make There is no use in going
ahead, spending money and time and
then have hitch with the Finance Com

F|ENDISH TORTURE.

KINGSTON, N. X, May 27, 1Ss5.-About
three O'Clock this morning a burglar
entered the room of John Harrington,
a tobacconist, who lodges over his store
on The Strand. After pounding him
nearly insensible and rtieing his hands
and feet he placed lighted matches
against Harringtons left foot, demanding
that the place where his money was
kept be revealed. Harringtons foot was
burned to blister and he was terribly
hurt, one cut ON his forehead requiring
several stitches to close it. The burglar
got two checks, one for $500, the other
for S36, a railroad order for $12 and S35
in cash. A fellow named O'Reilly has
been arrested on suspicion.

HURSTIANTSM.

NEW YORK, May 27, 1Ss5.-The Board
of Police Commissioners met at noon
today. A communication was read from
President Aaron M. Powell of the Amer
lean Purity Alliance, complaining of the
manner in which the police make arrests
of dissolute women. Mr.. Powell wrote
that he was informed that policemen
were sent out in plain clothes to aeeost
women in the street. Thoughtless and
ignorant girls were entrapped in this
way. he wrote. and the method was
a grave abuse of police power.
The Chief was asked to make re-
port about the matter.

The application. he said had been made

considered before it was granted. The
could would reserve its decision in the
matter of this new application.
Prosecutor Winfield had little tilt
with Justice Potts after court had adj

GRESHAM VERY SICK
Secretary of State Suffers
a Serious Relapse on
Saturday.
BOTH LUNGS PLEURITI0
Hopes of His Ultimate Recovery
Illness Contracted While
Visiting the President.

WASHINGTON, May q, 1s95-SecTe-
tary GreshaIn's illness is again exciting
grave uneasiness, but at noon today his
son-in-law, Mr.. Andrew, who is in at
tendance at his bedside, sent a message
to personal friend of the family stat
ing that an improvement had set in In
the Secretary's condition.
Those in a position to know the faets
admit that Secretary Gresham is q very
sick man, but say that his condition
is not hopeless by any means. His aid
ment is pleurisy. He contracted the
disease by his frequent night visits to
the Presidents country home, Woodley,
more than a month ago, the weather at
the time being raw and damp. He PROV
ed to be a good patient. His recuperatiys
powers, as described by his physician,
are excellent, and his recovery, notwith-
standing the severity of his illness, was
steady. On Saturday last he was sit
ting up and anxiously anticipating the
time when he might with safety leave
his sick-room. He was unusually cheer
full. He even discussed personal business
affairs and manifested in various ways
outward symptoms of his improved con-
dition.
HAD A RELAPSE.
1t is believed that on that day ne
contracted cold, since there is no other
way of accounting for the sudden change
in his condition. This change came on
during the evening. He had a bad night
Saturday, was very i'll Sunday, and at
noon today was scarcely perceptibly bet
ter. His relapse on Saturday night was
believed ito be due to local causes. pre-.
sumably dyspepsia, to which he has
long been subject 1t was discovered on
Sunday that his left lung was affected.
Until that time the pleuritie water had
only touched the right lung.
This unexpected complication added to
the gravity OF the illness, and naturally
gave his family fresh cause for alarm.
His physician, DR.. W. w. Johnston, re-
manned with him all Of Saturday and
Sunday nights.
SAYS HE WILL RECOVER.
