CHOATE SCORES BOWLER
Interesting Phase of Argument
in the Sugar Bounty
Cases.
The Offcious Comptroller Styled {
Pebble in the Cogs of the
Government.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 24.-rhe
Supreme Court of the United States to-day
heard the concluding arguments of counsel
upon the sugar-bounty cases, by Joseph II.
Choate in behalf of the claimants and by
Solicitor General Conrad for the Govern
ment.
In the course of his speech Choate
brusquely paid his respects to Comptroller
Bowler, whose action necessitated the liti-
argument throughout. He was speaking
of the power of Congress to make the ap-
preparation that had been withheld from
the claimants, contending that the courts
had no jurisdiction to review that action.
'Why," said he, ''the cases are here
merely by accident. A big pebble was
found in the cogs of the Government and
these claimants were compelled to come
here to get it removed so that the wheels
might be allowed to go round"
AT another period of his address Choate
referred to the appropriation of money
made by Congress to Lafayette. "That
was made," he continued, ito partly dis
charge what they believed to have been a
debt of gratitude for great and valuable
services rendered to the United States in
the Revolutionary War. And yet with a
significant look at Mr.. Bowler) if some
persons bad been in the Government at
that time Lafayette would not have re-
ceived that money on the ground that
Congress had no power to make that ap-
propriation."

Objection Made to Dodging Re.
sponsibility of Swelling the
Expenditures.
OTHER CAUSES OF COMPLAINT.
The Cutting Off of Funds for a Hos.
pital Attributed to Religious
Bigotry.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 24.-The
Senate made considerable progress to-day
on the sundry civil bill, having disposed
OF all the amendments reported to it by
the Committee on Appropriations.
Some comment was made on the prac-
tice attributed to the House of Representa-
tives OF appropriating sums only sufficient
to cover the cost of service for six or nine
months in the year and throwing on the
Senate the responsibility and blame OF
swelling the appropriation bills.
The advice proffered by Mills of Texas
to cure that evil was for the Senate to pass
the appropriation bills just as the House
sent them, leaving to the President the
duty of notifying Congress that additional
appropriations were necessary for the pub
lie service.
There was also some little criticism of the
action of the House in cutting off appro-
priations for the Providence Hospital, in
Washington-that action being attributed
to religious bigotry and intolerance. The
fact that the First Comptroller refused to
audit the accounts of the Venezuelan
Guiana commission for Office rent was also
commented upon severely.

| to Y okohama, had the body disinterred,
and on examining the swelling in the
neck found it swarming with the plague
bacillus, which DR.. Kitazoto discovered in
Hongkong two years ago.
Every precaution dictated by medical
science was at once taken to prevent the
spread of the disease. but it was felt that,
as the Chinese physicians had failed to
diagnose the malady before death, and as
consequently considerable interval had
elapsed before vigorous prophylactic meas
ures could be adopted, great danger was
imminent.
Two days later April 3-another
steamer, the Chittagong from Hongkong,
reported suspicious case upon arrival,
but in this instance the bacillus was ab-
sent and the man soon began to mend.
Most unfortunately. however, the Gaelic
having sailed for San Francisco via Homo
lulu on March 31-that is to say, before
anything was known about the plague
stricken lad in the Chinese hospitai-no
measures to disinfect her had been taken,
and as the crowd in her steerage had been
increased by 500 Japanese emigrants for
Hawaii, great anxiety was felt for the
safety of all on board. kilograms were at
once dispatched to Washington and San
Francisco to warn the sanitary authorities
there. In Japan the system of medical in
spection and disinfection resorted to in
cholera epidemics has been put into force
with respect to all vessels coming from
Hongkong or any port on the Chinese
coast 1t should be noted. however, that
the plague has not yet developed serious
dimensions in Hongkong. The daily aver
age of patients is only six or seven, but
there is tendency to increase.
Mutinies among Chinese troops are SO
frequent that the outside world has ceased
case occurred in one of the celebrated Taku
forts, on the Peiho River. 1t commenced
on March IL and went on for three days.
The authorities say that it had its origin
in gambling affray, but probably the old
cause-official squeezing-was chiefly re-
sponsible. The mutineers, using swords.
killed five officers on the first day. Had
they possessed rifles they would probably
have done much greater mischief, but they
had been deprived of their rifles and were
awaiting transports to carry them south
for disbandment. The general command
ing neighboring fort marched up his
men and gave the mutineers volley that
killed three OF their number. Two compa-
nies of the Viceroy's body-guards, arriving
subsequently from Tientsin with machine
guns, settled the business. The mutinous
