MILLS RESOLUTION
Senators Do Not Believe the Belli-
cose Measure Gan Pass.
PRACTICALLY A DECLARATION OF WAR
The Texas Member To-day Speaking in
Favor of Its Psssage-Mr. Hale
Says the Cuban Affair Is
Finally Disposed OF.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Mills, dem, Tex, who introduced in
the senate yesterday the joint resolu-
tion which, if passed, is almost certain
TO produce war with Spain, is to-day
speaking on the subject. The resolu-
ton directs the president of the United
States to request the government of
Spain to grant to the people of Cuba
the power of local self-government
and lin case the government of Spain
shall refuse) to take possession of the
island of Cuba and to hold it until it's
inhabitants can institute such govern
ment as they may wish to organize,
and arm and equip such military forces
as may be necessary to protect them
from invasion. This is looked upon by
many senators as practical declara-
tion of war, and it is not believed pos
sible that the resolution can be passed
Senator Mills was led to introduce his
resolution by the delay on the concur
rent resolutions, and the fact that they
were again sent to the same con ference
committee forced him, he says, to in
troduce the more radical measure. The
senate conference committee is com
posed of Senators Sherman, rep, o.;
Morgan, dem, Ala, and Lodge, rep,
Mass. Senator Platt, rep, Conn, in
troduced a concurrent resolution ex-
pressing the earnest hope of the senate
that Cuba may soon become free. in
dependent and republican government,
and requests that the friendly offices
of the United States shall be offered
by the president to the Spanish govern
ment to secure such result 1t was
referred to the committee on foreign
relations.
Senator Hale's Opinion.
Senator Hale, leader Of the Cuban
opposition, said this morning that he
did not believe the conferees could
agree upon report that would be sat-
isfactory to both houses. He rather
looked upon the Cuban matter as final
ly disposed of, and said that it would
probably now be left where it should
have been left at the start, with the
president. This course would, Mr.
Hale added, subserve the public good.
With that out of the way, congress
would proceed with the appropriation
bills and when they were passed would
go home. He predicts an adjournment
as early as the middle OF May.
House of Representatives.
The session of the house, under the
rules, was given up to District of Colum-
bia business, but the District calendar
was soon cleared up, and the remain
der of the session was spent in the con-
sideration of a bill to modify the ex-
isting law regarding the punishment
of crimes committed under federal
jurisdiction involving the death PEN
atty SO as to allow a sentence to prison
for life. After three hours discus
sion the passage of the bill was frus-
trated by point of no quorum made
by Mr.. Barrett, rep, Mass.

SET THE DOG ON HIM.
Charles HI. Bishop Sues SaIoOnists
for Big Damages.

In Judge Brills court the case of Charles
H. Bishop against John F. Smith and Anton
Miesen is on trial. Bishop sues for S., 43S
damages on account of personal assault
committed upon him by Smith in the saloon
at 439 jackson street, on Dec. IS last. The
saloon was run by Smith, Miesen furnishing
the license, and an effort is being made TO
prove that Miesen was, therefore, the pro-
prietor, and responsible for the conduct of
the business. The plaintiff claims that Smith
pounded him with billiard cue, breaking
some Of the bones in his face and one of his
arms; that he otherwise manned and bruised
him, and finally caused dog to bite him.
Smiths defense Is that Bishop was acting
disorderly, went in behind the bar and at
tempted to assault him, and refused to go
out when ordered to do so, and that he
used no greater force than was necessary to
protect his rights and defend himself
Miesen's defense is that he had nothing to
do with the saloon other than pay for the
license, with the understanding that Smith
would give him $40 week until the amount
was fully repaid. He admits that the Pabst
Brewing company owns the fixtures in the
saloon.

FIGHT OVER FUNDS
PHILIP ANGEL WANTS THE IRON
HALL BENEFIT FUND d.
VIDED.
THE ECHO OF AN OLD BATTLE.
TEMPORARY ORDER ISSUED RE-
STREAMING THE PAYMENT OF
$1,000 TO RECEIVER.
CHANCE FOR OTHERS TO GET IN.
Plaintiff Wants the Money Paid
Back to Those Who Put 1t Into
the Fund.

An echo of the battle between the officers
of the law and the officers of the Order of the
Iron Hall, which was fought some four years
ago, was heard yesterday, when a complaint
was filed by Philip Angel in an action in the
district court to restrain the officers of the
local branch, of which he is member from
turning over to the receiver of the supreme
sitting of the order some 81 900 of the reserve
fund of the local branch, still left in their
hands, and to compel it's distribution among
the members of the branch, in proportion to
the amount each one paid
The action is directed against the supreme
sitting of the order, James F. Faily, of Indi-
ana, receiver therefor; Henry Clarke and Emil
]. Muller, accountant and cashier of Ideal
Branch No. HOO, the local, of which the plain
tiff is a member, and Fred Naylor, Roman F.
Moznets and Joseph Eichler, trustees of the
same. The plaintiff says the action is brought
for himself and such other members as may
desire to avail themselves of the privilege Of
becoming parties thereto.
He alleges that the object of the order was
to establish a benefit fund, from which each
member was to be paid 81 900 at the end of
specified time, provided he had in the mean
time made certain regular payments, as re-
CURED by the constitution. He Joined the or
der in 1889, and was promised that at the end
OF seven years he would be paid $500, if he
would make regular payments of $3.50 semi
monthly up to that time. He continued to
make these payments until August, 1892, when
the order was placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver. He had paid in $S2. 80, in all, and no
part thereof has been paid to him.
He saws the local hrapob 1od ~ ~. H.. .
reserve fund of $1,000, which was the property
OF the members of the branch, and not subject
to the orders Of the supreme officers; that this
fund is still in the hands of the local officers
OF the branch, and that, unless restrained,
they will forward it to the receiver of the
supreme sitting. He asks that a receiver be
appointed to take charge of the fund and dis
tribute it among the members of the local
branch, according to the amount each one
contributed thereto, and that temporary re-
straining order be issued to prevent it's being
forwarded to the receiver of the supreme
sitting
Judge Otis granted temporary restraining
order, and set the hearing for today, at spe-
cial term.

DAMAGED THE HORSES.
A Stock Firm Sues Railroads That
Carried Them.

The suit of R. Marston & Co., against the
500" road and the Canadian Pacific road,
being an action to recover some 81, OS6 dam
ages on account of alleged negligence in the
shipment of carload of horses to Boston. in
July last, Is on trial in Judge Otis court
The horses, twenty-one in number. were
shipped from Shoreham, a station near Min
neapolis, and the plaintiff claims the car was
delayed in transit and handled SO recklessly
that the animals were injured so that it re-
duced their value $780, and that the extra
care, doctoring, etc., cost an additional s24O.
besides, the company failed to furnish return
transportation for the man who went with
the car thus adding $3.50 more to the extra
expense. The complaint alleges that the two
ROADS are operated and controlled in con-
nectfon with each other and are part of g.
general system between Minneapolis and Bos-
ton. The defense is that whatever damage
the horses suffered was due to no negligence
on the part of the roads, but to their own
fractious conduct and the negligence Of the
shipper.

FRANK HORNS SALARY.
1t Is the Test Case for the Police
mems Salaries.

Judge Brill and a jury are engaged hear
ing the suits of the st. Paul policemen to
recover their salaries for the months of jan
uary and February last. There are $50 Of
these suits, but the outcome of the one on
trial will be taken as a test, and all others
disposed of accordingly. The one on trial is
that of Sergeant Frank Horn against the city.
The defense is that the city charter requires
that the council shall fix the salaries of the
police officers annually, and the council hav-
ing failed to do this since 1892, they cannot
recover. Attorneys Michael and PEBBLES for
the plaintiff, argue that in cases heretofore
brought Judge Otis and others of the dis
trict court judges have held that the failure
of the council to fix the salaries was no bar
to recovery as long as the service was rem
dered and accepted and the pay rolls passed
from month to month. But to this Corpora
ton Attorney Darragh makes answer that in
this case the pay rolls have not been passed,
but have been hung up on account of the
inability of the council to agree on the rate
of salary. The hearing has gone over until
Monday.

of Embczzlement.

w. G. Robbins, clerk in the medical de-
partment at the Army building, was arrested
by Detective Ahern yesterday afternoon on

a deficit of $204.95. There was disposition
on part Of the members of Ariel commandery
to give Robbins an opportunity to make the
shortage good, but 1t is claimed he has not
done So and that the only recourse of the
commandery was to secure his arrest.
Robbins was seen by / o b e reporter

whole matter simply misunderstanding.

admitted shortage in his accounts of $3.50.

STATE A PROPER PARTY.
Judge Belden's Decision in the
American Savings Case.

Judge Belden. of the Hennepin district
court. has overruled the demurrer made bv
the attorneys for the American Savings and
Loan association to the complaint brought
against it by Attorney General Childs on
behalf of the state. The demurrer was based
on the claims-frst, that the plaintiffs were
not properly related in the case, and in the
second place, that the complaint does not
state sufficient facts to constitute cause of
action Judge Belden's decision which was
hled on Thursday of last week, but which es-
capped the attention of the Minneapolfs ma
pers at the time, overrules the demurrer
and this decision has been filed with the
rest of the papers in the case as presented

PRESENT LOOP TO STAY.
Mayor Smith VetOes the broadway
Extension.

Mayor Smith vetoed yesterday the resolu-
ton requesting the street railway company
to extend its loop from Robert street to
Broadway. The grounds Of the veto are the
same as those put forward by those property
owners who objected to any change in the
present loop. The mayor believes that the ex-
tension of the loop to Broadway would ma
terially injure the retail business district and
would thereby work a great injustice upon
the firms that have done so much to build
up that district. There is little likelihood
that the common council will override the
veto, as such action would require eight
votes in the board Of aldermen and six in the
assembly.
