WARRANTS ARE INVALID
TR NDERs' NATIONAL Is OUT BE
TWEEN staoo AND $1,000.
Warrants Had Been Issued In Lieu
Of an Equal Amount Issued by
Former Corporation.

Colville, Wash, April 6.-Judga Ar
ahur rendered a decision today upon
the question of the validity of some Of
the warrants of the town of Colville. The
Traders National bank Of Spokane held
between $14O0 and $1,000 worth of war
rants, issued by tine present corporation
in lieu of an equal amount of warrants
OF the former invalid corporation. The
town council has at all times declined
to recognize their validity, claiming
they were issued irregularly under an
ordinance or the town and issued by the
mayor and clerk without authority of
the council. The bank by a writ of man
damus against T. A. Winter, the treas
urer, endeavored to procure their pay
ment After a hearing of the matter
the court dismissed the writ, holding
that a municipal corporation has no
authority to pass an ordinance delegat
ing to the mayor the duties conferred
upon the council by their charter. His
opinion is as follows
Colville. April 6-There are but two
questions presented for the determna-
ton of the court in his case.
First whether the present town of
Colvile can legally obligate itself to pay
Indebtedness incurred by the old town in
corporated under the act OF 1883 which the
supreme court has declared unconstitu-
tional.
Second. Admitting that It could so OBJ
lgate itself. does the passage of an or
dinance, No. %. by the town council create
such obligation? 1t is unnecessary for
the court to pass upon the first PROPOSE
ton as it is the opinion of the court that
the second proposition should be decided
in the negative. Ordinance No. %, upon
the authority of which It is admitted these
warrants were issued, does not in the
opinion of the court authorize the mayor
and clerk to issue said warrants; it is
merely a declaration that in the opinion
of the town council that debts of the old

and paid by the new corporation. The
| council could not delegate to the mayor

of them were valid claims against the

covETs BIG HORN HOT SPRINGS
Wyoming Desires the GOvernm nj
to Buy From Indians.

Washington, April Am effort is be-
ing made by Representative Mandell of
Wyoming to have the Big Horn hot
springs on the Shoshone Indian reserva-
ton in Fremont county, Wyoming, pur-
chased by the government and held as
a public reservation as the hot springs
of Arkansas are. Indian Inspector Nc

dams for cession of the springs and a
tract of 10 miles square surrounding
them. 1t is not proposed to pay all the
purchase money by one appropriation,
but to place most of it to the credit of
the Indians to be paid from the treas
ury in installments
The Big Horn springs are said to pos
sess remarkable medicinal qualities and
are scientifically called sulphur saline
springs. They are near the Big Horn
river with snow-capped mountains on
either side, and empty into the river in
picturesque cascades. 1t is the govern
ment's policy. Mr.. Mandell says. to
gradually reduce the Indian reserva-
tons, as the land is not needed by the
Indians, and it is believed that the
springs can be acquired now more
cheaply than when they have become
better known He is confident that the
springs would become a resort and be
a source of revenue to the government
from rentals if they were managed as
the Arkansas hot springs have been.

Mr.. CARLISLE SAYS NO
DECLINES TO bic A CANDIDATE he
FORE THE CONVENTION.
Success Depends More on the Dee lar

Candidates.

Washington, April 5.-Secretary Car
the subject OF his candidacy for the
presidential NOMINATION by the Chicago
convention:
washington, ADrll 4. Charles r.
Long, chairman of the democratic state
central committee, Louisville. MY dear
sir: Your favor of March 30, in which
you say in substance that many of my
friends in Kentucky and elsewhere de-
sire me to become a candidate before
the national democratic convention for
nomination for the office of president
and requesting me to give you some
authoritative or definite expression upon
the project, has been maturely consid-
cred.
Many communications upon the same
subject and similar import have been
received from friends in different parts
of the country, and while very CRATE
ful for these numerous expressions of
confidence and esteem on the part OF
my democratic fellow citizens, 1 have
not been able to reach the conclusion
that the existing conditions require me
to comply with their requests by au-
thOrizing them to announce me as a
ton.
While l feel a profound interest in
the welfare Of my party, / am as much
more concerned about its declaration of
principles that its selection of candi-
dates, because, in my opinion, its fail
ure or success at the election. as well
as it's capacity for useful service in
the country in the future, depends upon
faI &c n IA 20
upon the public questions now engag-
ing the attention of the people and es-
pecially the questions affecting the
monetary system of the country and
the character and amount of taxation
to be imposed upon our citizens. It's
position upon these and other subjects
having been agreed upon, and clearly
and distinctly announced, the cOnVen-
ton ought to have no difficulty in Sc
Letting an acceptable candidate who
will fairly represent its views, and in
order that its deliberations may be
embarrassed as little as possible by the
contention of rival aspirants and theii
friends l think my duty to the party
will be best performed by declining tC
participate in a contest for the nOmina
ton
THE obligations assumed when
accepted my present official position re
Quire me to devote my entire time anC
attention to the public interests com
mitted to my charge, and / shall con
tinue to discharge the duties imposed
upon me to the best of my ability an'
in such a manner as will in my judg
ment most certainly promote the tru
interests of the country, and if in th
opinion of my fellow democrats of Ken
lucky my services entitle me to thei
commentator and approval, L woul'
regard their Endorsement of my publ
course as an ample reward for the littl
I have been able to accomplish in he
half of an honest administration ant
a sound financial policy. With man,
thanks for your kind letter, l am
very truly yours,

LETTER HAS A STRING TO IT
Courier journal Says Carlisle VIII
Accept the Nomination.

Courier journal Says Carlisle VIII
Accept the Nomination.
Louisville. April 5.-The Courier-Jour-
nal will tomorrow publish the following
editorial on the letter Of Secretary Car
Isle, made public tonight:
1.-The position which Carlisle takes is
one entirely in accordance with the dig
nifty of the office of president and with
the duties of the office Of secretary Of
the treasury. He declines to participate
in a contest for the nomination. hold
ing that the matter of first moment is
the declaration of the party's princi
pies. He desires the Endorsement of
his services by his state. and though ne
does not say so in so many words If
his state shall present his name to the
national convention on a satsfactOiy
platform, he will undoubtedly accept
that responsibility This is a matter
of exceptional moment at once to the
democratic party and to the entire peo-
ole of the United States. To the dem
ocratic party it brings home the issue
whether it is to continue to be the party
of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton and
Cleveland, or whether it is to set up
strange gods and lend the priceless
prestige of its name and history to an
alien faith
ITO the people of the United States it
is Of vital concern, for upon the decision
within the democratic party of the issue
thus forced upon it depends the one
possibility that this country shall have
a presidential candidate backed by the
organized resources of either of the two
great political parties, a man with a
universally conceded clear comprehen-
sion of the nature and necessities of a
sound monetary system as indispensa-
bic to the protection of national integ-
rity and material prosperity. and with
a record not of profession, buttof per
Torrance in itself, at this time the only
unimpeachable proof of practical, un-
swerving and unassailabie fidelity tC
the principles of such a system.
Kentucky is ready. 1t needs no cam.
paign to bring Kentucky to Carlisle
Let the convention be called, the sooner
the better; and the state which took the
lead for an honest tariff will take the
lead for an honest currency"

DEMOCRATS NOT UP TO DATE
Fail to Secure Headquarters for the
Chicago Convention.

Chicago, April At the leading local
hotels there is considerable comment
over the dilatoriness of the democratic
state central committees of the several
states in securing quarters for the ma
tional convention in July next, a condi-
ton, however, which is attributable to
the fact that most of the democratic
state conventions are late this year, and
that the central committeeman are
chary of anticipating the wishes in the
matter of location of the prospective
delegat t-large
Quarters for the stats of several
newspapers have been engaged at the
Palmer house, while Tammany has Sc
cured provision for about $50 delegates,
alternates and visitors at the Audito-
rum, with the intention Of opening up
headquarters about four days in ad-
vance OF the convention. The national
committee has also selected its quarters
at the Palmer house, but altogether,
among all the hotels in the center of the
city, not more than half a dozen states
have been heard from.
Quite a number of inquiries as to ac-
commodations. however, have been
made of the family and general hotels
in Hyde Park and about the neighbour
hood of the Coliseum. where the con-
vention is to De held. and it seems prob
able that quite a large number Of dele
gates and visitors viii secure quarters
