lakton Press, 10: The case Of the
city Of Yankton VS.. Thomas Douglas
which came up before the'supreme court
at Pierre this week has been affirmed,
Judge Haney dissenting. This is the
case where Prof. Douglas was arrested
for violating the city ordinance regard
ing tipping shops. He was found guilty
in Justice Vanderhule's court, and on
appeal to the circuit court, the justice
was sustained, and now again by the
supreme court. City Attorney Hugh J.

Press Dispatches From South Africa OF
a Rather Alarming Nature.
LONDON, April l3.-Advices received
by The Times regarding the situation
in Matabeleland again take a rather
alarmist tone, but no advices have been
received by the government to bear out
this view of the situation and the pres.
ent force of troops in South Africa is
considered sufficient by the govern.
ment.
A Buluwayo dispatch to The Times
says: The whole of the Matabele ma.

men in strong cooperative columns
will be required to clear the country.

TORPEDO BOAT CONTRACTS
Will Not Be Awarded Until the Return of
Secretary Herbert.
Difference of Opinion Between bureau
ted to the Attorney General.

AS q result of difference Of opinion be-
tween naval bureau chiefs, the award of
contracts for the construction Of torpedo
boats will not be made until after the re-
turn to the city Of Secretary Herbert, who
is expected to arrive at New York on the
Paris tomorrow. Chief Constructor Hich-
born and Ergineer-in- Chief Melville Joined
in a recommendation that the contract IS be
awarded to certain ship builders already
named in The Star, and held generally that
there was no occasion for further delay in
the matter. Capt. Sampson, chief of ord
nance, did not entirely agree with their
conclusions. He protested against the
award of contracts for the 30-knot vessels
to the Bath iron works and the Union iron
works of San Francisco. He favored the
acceptance of the bid Of Herreshoff of
Bristol, r. l., for this type Of vessels, as
being more advantageous to the govern
ment than either of the other proposals.
He believes the Herreshoff boats are
the superior of either the Bath the
Union Iron Works mofels. The amount
of the awards for these boats as recon-
mended to Bath for two of them is $40.
Wo; the amount OF the Union Iron works
bid is SD, 800. a total of s697, so The
Herreshoff bid for three boats of thirty
knot speed is $612,oOO.
The question of price does not enter into
the matte- SO much as other more technical
features. The experts who sustain the
Hichborn-Melville recommendations point
out that the Herreshoff bid was informal
and might have been thrown out on that
ground in the first place, but they con-
slider the Bath and San Francisco models
better suited to the needs Of the service
than the Herreshoff boats.
Several interesting legal questions have
arisen in connection with the bids, and
they have been referred to the Attorney
General for determination. The matter
will probably be settled next week.

"THOUGHTLESS LEGISLATION"
Senator Chandler on the DemOnetixa
tiOn of Silver.

Senator Chandler on the Demonetixa-
tiOn of Silver.
Senator VIM. E. Chandler Of New Hamp-
shire last night made public his reply to a
letter from a gentleman in Selma, CAL,
asking his opinion Of the "crime of 49,"
as the alleged decentralization Of silver at
that time Is termed by many prominent
silver men.
Senator Chandler in his reply says the
anti-siver legislation of 1873 was not a
crime, but merely "thoughtless act"
His letter concludes as follows:
Mot until 1893 were England's India
mints closed to silver coinage, and not
until September IL. 1896. at Bar Harbor
did Secretary Carlisle proclaim the obi
cation of the United States to reclaim every
silver dollar demand with the gold
dollar. What the complete effect will be
of this wholly blotting out all the silver
coin Of the world ss money Of final re-
demption and measuring the worlds value
only by the $i.O00.UO.O0O of the world s
gold coin now in existence, remains to be
seen. l think 1t will be ruinous to debtors
and owners Of real estate and personal
chattels. Money lenders may reap a har-
vest. 1t does not seem to me to be worth
while to eenounce anybody for the thought
less legislation Of 1873. The wise course
will be after McKinley's election to " Vork
earnestly, without elimination or recrimi.
nation, to secure the remonetizarion o1
silver and the restoration Of bime+allism.' v

tain employment on his return. He leaves
