BANKRUPTCY BILL.
The Completed Measure Is Ready to.
Be Reported. e.,

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The house COM
mittee on Judiciary today finished its work
on the bankruptcy BILL and Chairman Hender-
son will report the bill to the house this
week, where it is expected it will be called up
in few days.
The bill is the result Of the labor of the
committee on judiciary for three congresses.
This committee took the bill introduced by
Mr.. Powers, of Vermont, for the basis OF it's
work. Both voluntary and involuntary bank
ruptcy are provided for, the involuntary feat
ures being carefully limited. All persons are
entitled to the benefits of the act as yolun-
tary bankrupts, but corporations are excepted
because the laws Of the states creating them
provide for winding up their affairs. Any
person owing debts to the amount of 81 900
or over, II guilty of an act of bankruptcv
may be adjudged an involuntary bankrupt
except national bank, a person engaged
chiefly in farming or a wage Garner. Ma
tional banks are closed and their affairs ad
ministered under the provisions of the nation
al banking laws. All bankrupts are allowed
the exemptions prescribed by the laws of
the state in which the. bankrupt resides. All
cases OF involuntary bankruptcy except two
involve fraudulent intent. Suspending nav
ment OF commercial paper for thirty DAYS
while insolvent, making assignment for the
Deneht OF creditors and filing a written state
ment admitting inability to pay debts also
constitute acts Of bankruptcy.

quired from the bidders. Four different bid

property was sold to Frank A. Seymour for

Financial Course of the Present
Democratic Administration.

MONTICELLO, Va, April 13-Today, the
135th anniversary of Thomas Jefferson's birth
day, was observed here by gathering of O
large number Of prominent Democrats from
all sections Of the country. The guests in
cluded Vice President Stevenson Secretary
Herbert, Postmaster General Wilson, Attor-
ney General Harmon, ex-Gov. Russell, OF
Massachusetts; Chauncey F. Black, and Law
renee Gardner, president and secretary re-
spectively of the National Association OF

senators and representatives, besides a num-
Der OF national committeeman. The party
lert washington in special train this morn
ing, arriving in Charlottesville about noon
and proceeded at once to Monticello. about
two miles distant from the town. where they
were welcomed by Jefferson NJ Levy. the
present owner of the estate. The exercises
commenced shortly after 2 o'clock Three
addresses were delivered. The first by
Chauncey F. Black; the second by ex-Gov.
russell. and the third by ex-senator Daniel.
Oh virginia. The greatest interest attached
10 the speeches of the two latter. Mr.. Rus
sell standing squarely on a Sound money
PLATFORM and Senator Daniel combating his
position with free silver argument.
MT. Black paid a glowing tribute to the
memory OF Thomas Jefferson, and, in concIud-
ing, introduced eX-Gov. Russell. The latter
power
was his steadfastness to principle, his courage
and his faith. The same, he said, was true of
the latest Democratic president Whatever
the storm, whatever the gusts of passion or
of prejudice, however threatening the clouds
Of panic and disaster, which have hung over
all nations, our president has kept the rudder
true. To no political flaw has he trimmed sail,
In no stress has he lost courage or abandoned
principle. There is inspiration for US in the
leadership of Jefferson and of Cleveland. 1t
nerves us to stand fast to principle, to put
aside eXpediency and compromise, and with
courage and fidelity to meet all pending is
sues. So shall we merit and win success and
hold the confidence of the country as we have
in the past. We need not fear defeat We
should fear the discredt of sacrificing prin-
ciple to expediency or of turning aside from
the safe course which Jefferson established.
Let our good Democrat ship avoid the passing
flaws which would drift her hither and thith-
er, content to wait the powerful and steady
gale which will carry the nation upon her
true course -
Senator Daniels spoke of Jefferson and his
works. and in discussing the financial ques-
-tion, took opposite views to those expressed

meeting their obligations. He made strong
plea for the prompt payment of the salaries OF
the bishops, to whom he said the money was
absolutely necessary in. the prosecution of
their church work, and gave as another rea-
son that when the money was not promptly
forthcoming it was necessary for the church
treasurers to borrow TO meet the necessity,
and this he decided as bad practice
These salaries and the council expenses he
believed should be promptly paid quarterly in
advance.

WILLIAMS HAS RESIGNED.
The Consul General at Havana Tired
of His Job,

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The president to-
day sent to the senate the nomination of Fitz-
hugh Lee, of Virginia, to be consul general
of the United States at Havana, Cuba, vice
Williams, resigned.
The resignation of Mr.. Williams which was
made public through the nomination of his
successor, caused no surprise. For months
rumor has been busy with Mr.. Williams name,
and 1t has been reported repeatedly that he
had resigned. 1t is well known that Mr. Will
Jams was desirous of surrendering his office,
having accumulated a private fortune being
interested in private business ventures that
requires much of his attention, and more than
all else, being thoroughly tired of the official
duties of his place. Touching the manner in
which he has discharged his duties the off,
cials of the state department are full OF
praise. Mr.. Williams leaves the service with
the reputation of being the best consular Of
fcer of the United States. He has been
twenty-five years in this service, being ap-
pointed in 1874 vice consul general at Havana.
and promoted TO be consul general ten years
later.
F1tzhugh Lee is a nephew of Gen. Robert E.
Lee. He was major general of Confederate
cavalry during the war At present he is COL
lector of internal revenue for the Lynchburg
Va, district. He is also an ex-governor of
V'3ginia.

BAD BLOW FOR sEPARATIsTs.
Amdavtts Charging Fraud in Mani
toba School Matters.


WINNIPEG, Man., April 13.-Another chap
ter is edded to the provincial school question
today by the publication of an affidavit which
put Sir Donald A. Smith in rather unenvf-
able light 1t also shows that the act on
which the Catholics base their entire argu-
ment for separate schools was the result Of
unseemly haste, possible bribery, and polit-
iCal maneuver.
In parliament recently, Sir Donald argued
that the Roman Catholics of the Red river
settlement expected to have denominationaI
schools conceded to them, even though moth
ing was expressly said about the matter during
the proceedings of the historical convention
OF forty, held in 1869. Sir Donald argued that
this was apparent from what took place in
the legislature of Manitoba in 1871" An af1-
daVit by Mr.. Hay, which is fully corroborated
by John Sutherland's sworn statement, is
published here today, and gives straight de-
NAL to Sir Donald's statements The affidavit
declares that no mention was ever made of
separate schools in that convention, and when
the first legislature met two acts were intro
duced, one by the late Mr. Norquay and the
other by John Sutherland providing for the
establishment of g. non-denominational sys-
tenn Of schools. Just before the propagation
of that legislature, Archbishop Tache returned
from Rome, and the education bill, providing
Tor separate schools, was introduced in blank
in the house and hurriedly rushed through, no
explanations being given. This was the bill
Of 1871, under which the Catholics claim the
privileges for which they have fought so Bit
terly. To show there was treachery at the
bottom, Hay, who was leader of the opposi-
tion, swears in his affidavit that the night be-
fore the Introduction of the bill he was sent
for to go to the government house. and there
upon was offered a seat in the government If
he would offer no opposition to the bill He
Indignantly declined the offer and opposed
the bill. but it was rushed through with
seemly haste, despite his opposition. The
iginal bill was never discussed nor were it's
merits sifted.
