NEW YORK, April 13-The Herald
this morning says: The steamer Bo-
Hvfa, of the Anchor line, arrived from
Genoa and Naples yesterday. She
brought 1876 Italian immigrants. Six
hundred of them were detained at Ellis
Island on the ground that they are
likely to become public charges. OF
this number none had more than a
dollar or 50, while many of them were
practically penniless. DIR. Senner said
that only about 10 per cent. of those
detained would be allowed to land.
The steamer Alesia, of the F'abre
line. also from Naples, reached the bar
at 10 o'clock last evening with 1854
more on board They will be landed
at Ellis Island this morning. The i'm
migrant authorities are appalled, at the
great influx of italian paupers. More
than $1,000 have already arrived and
Dr. Senner has received advices that
Is, 900 more are about to sail from Ma
pies.
DR.. Senner is very alert and is en-
forcing the immigration laws to the
letter, particularly in the case of Ital-
ians, in hopes of d1scouragfng their fell
low countTymen, but this apparently
has no effect on them. He has been
compelled to increase his force of en-
ployees on Ellis Island and has fire.

Important Decision by the Supreme
Court-PrOceedings in the Senate
and House.


WASHINGTON, D. c., April BIN the
United States supreme court today an
opinion was handed down in the case of
Woodruff, trustee, VS.. the state of Mis-
sssippi appealed from the supreme court
of that state. The case involved the val
idity of bonds issued by the Levee board
of the state for the Improvement of the
Mississippi river, which had been ques-
toned because the bonds were made
payable in gold. The supreme court of
the state had decided that the bonds
were void because the law did not au-
thorze the payment of the bonds in any
particular kind of money. The opinion OF
today was delivered by Chief Justice
Fuller. The opinion of the court below
was reversed and the case remanded.
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion OF
the court in the cases of John Gibson
and Charles Smith VS.. the State OF Mis-
sissippi, tried and found guilty of muir
der in the state courts. The plaintiffs in
error in both cases are colored men.
They sought to have their cases trans
ferred from the state courts to the led
eral courts under section GIL, of the re-
vised statutes, alleging that there was
denial of justice, because no men OF
! their color had been summoned to sit
upon the jury.
The state court had denied the petit
ton for a transfer. Justice Harlan sus-
tanned this decision, holding that While
the statute and the fourteenth amend
ment to the constitution had been in
tended to secure the colored race the
same justice awarded to the whites, the
law and the amendment were only apple
able when it was made to appear that
the constitutional enactments of the
state were of a character to deny the
right to the negroes. 1t did not appear
that this was the case in Mississippi.
In passing upon the case Of W. A:
Howard VS.. A. Wentworth, appealed
from the court of Arizona, involving
the validity of territorial statute,
bearing upon the possession of records
of Cochice county, the court, in one
phase of the case presented, entered
! into a general discussion whether in
discussing the validity of any egls-
iative enactment it is competent to go
behind the enrolled bill, assigned by
the presiding officer of the house as
legislative body, and held that it was

Not Yet Agreed

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The house
and senate conferees on the legislative
executive and judicial appropriation
bills held several meetings, but have
rot yet agreed upon complete COM
promise Disagreement has been re-
ported on several of the most import
ant points of difference. The house
conferees refused to accept the amend
ments to raise the salaries OF United
States district attorneys and marshals.
The house proposition that commits
sions of all commissioners of the United
States court terminate the list of July
next has been abandoned. There has
been a somewhat bitter discussion over
the senate amendments to increase the
salaries of clerks to senators from
81. 200 to $1,000 The house conferees
took stand against what they term
the extravaganza of the senate in pro-
yiding for itself The representatives
are allowed clerks whose salaries are
s1OO month during the sessions of
congress, and some do not avail them
selves of This allowance, while each
senator has clerk at an annual salary
of 81 200

CHICAGO, April 13.-A special to
the Post from Washington says:
Democratic leaders have matured a
plan to capture the presidency next
fall by organizing a split in Chicago,
putting two tickets in the field and
then bringing the two wings of the
party together in the electoral college.
The silver leaders have been schem-
ing on the proposition for months and
very lately passed it along for the
consideration of the managers of the
sound money element by whom it has
been received with open favor. The
White house has been the scene of
several consultations on the matter
within the last four or five days.
Friends of sound money, not only in
congress but from any other financial
and commercial circles, have had
hasty summons to meet and discuss
questions of supreme concern to the
party welfare. The result of all this
palaver is that thorough under
standing has been reached and that
Democratic hopes are higher at this
writing than they have been in two
years.
Many of the silver leaders of the Re
publican party are fully advised of
the Democratic programme and they
are watching developments with the
greatest interest. The arch-plotters
among the Democrats fondly hope that
the Republicans may be induced to
pursue similar tactics.

pecnInr Phennmenon.

DENVER, April ia peculiar electri-
trical phenomenon was noticed here to-
day by the experimenters in X-rays at the
Homeopathic college. During the expos
ure of a plate under the Crookes tube
one of the professors approached the
big induction coil holding an incandescent
bulb in his hand. Instantly the globe be-
gan to glow with a bright blue light
which lasted as long as the globe was
within dozen feet of the coil On be-
ing removed from the influence of the
coil the globe glowed at intervals for
ten minutes and when brought close to
the Crookes tube in action its intensity
was increased. The incandescent globe
was made by the Diamond Lamp company
who also made the tube and both were
of lead glass but the degree of vacuum
was so high that magnificent effects were
obtainable The college has ordered
number of Geissler tubes made from this
glass which has been condemned by the
scientists of the least but which gives
good results mile above sea level. The
altitude, it is claimed, is responsible for
the high degree of exhaustion obtained in
the lamps and tubes. the fight. dry air

air wash in the bulbs.

On the Outlook.

DENVER, Colo, April ia special
to the News from Hastings, Neb.,
says:
A News representative met Senator
Tillman at Tecumseh.
Asked as to the political outlook,
Senator Tillman said:
Il have discovered a much stronger
spinal column among the silver Demo-
Gratis. In fact, heretofore it has been
a sort Of jelly affair, but pressure at
home among the constituents of con-
greSsmen and senators, and the neces-
sity for progressive action has produc-
ed a great change. Men who would
not speak to me in December are grow
ing more chummy all the time. The
outlook
IS ALTOGETHER FAVORABLE
for the Democratic convention to be
controlled by the free silver wing. The
news at Washington is coming in from
all the states. Senators and other
free silver men report that we are go
ing to be in control at Chicago.
Il don't suppose it is any secret that
l am not going to stand any Demo-
cratic gold bug platform. I won't
have it. AS to the outlook, Senators

THE PANIC WAS CHRONIC.
"They told us in 1S93-'94 and they
tell us now that prosperity would re-
turn as soon as confidence was re-
stored. Now they propose to cure the
thing by increasing the tariff. When
the consumer is staggering under all
he can bear, they advocate piling on
more. Foreign money lenders own the
country. They own the courts and the
railroads They charge all that the
traffic will bear ard the farmer groans
under the burden, unable to make liv-
ing expenses, after paying taxes. Why

situation, but they will"

OMAHA, April ia heavy wind and
rain storm has swept Nebraska during
the past thirty-six hours. In the south
western portion of the state the storm
became violent and did great deal of
damage. A dispatch from Red Cloud
says a violent gale swept that section.
Many persons rushed to the storm cell

struck barn, wrecking it, part of the
