MAY NOR RECOVER F0R INJURIES.
An Ohio Law, G,Ung ibe Y cHms of Mebs
Heavy Dam-ges, Declared On-
constitutional

CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 1.-The law
giving damages to persons injured at the
hands OF a mob was declared unconstitu-
tional to-day by. Judge Diesseth in the
common pleas court. The opinion was
given on the demurrer to suits brought
against the County Commissioners by
Owen Murphy and George Plum TO re-
cover $40 900 damages each for Injuries re-
ceived during the Brown strike.
The suits were founded on the statute
passed April 10, 1896. known as the Ohio
lynch law. The law says any person
taken from the custody of officers. by a
mob and receiving injuries shall receive
$1000from the county. Ii the victim should
be killed his representatives shall receive
$4,000 damages,
The constitutional defect in the law, ac-
cording to Judge Diesseth, consists in fix
ing the maximum amount of damages Tor
any degreeof injury, thereby taking out
OF the hands of a jury power to assess
damages according TO the extent OF in
jury. Suit has also been brought under
the law by relative of negro iynched>

BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD.
Secretary Gage, in Rey,ewing the Govern
ment's financial Affairs, Sees Hopeful
SiqBs TOR the Future.

NEW YORK. N. Y, July LA special
to the Herald from Washington says:
f'The Government financial affairs are In
good shape" said Secretary Gage, in an
interview. 1--WE have come to the end of
the fiscal year with good resource behind
US and brighter hopes for the future. l
feel assured that by the time June 80.
1898, rolls around the Governments af-
fairs will be in better condition, while the
people of the country will have cause for
thankfulness when new era of prosperity
has set III.
with the end of the fiscal year 1896,
one year ago." continued Mr. Gage, "the
gold reserve was only $l02. 900, 900, or just
barely above the theoretical reserve of a
hundred millions. There was fear that
before the year was over there nigh be
very large exports, compelling the ad-
minlstration 10 again issue bonds for gold.
Now We not only have gold reserve of
Sal, 600, 600, but there is not cloud in
sight as TO its continuance approximately
at that very comfortable level. This is
the most hopeful sign that l see in the
present condition of the Governmen 8
finances, for when the country is all right
and the Government all right the gold re-
serve is sure to be all right. and vice versa.
"At the end of this fiscal year. looking
over the official statement which had been
on my desk, the condition of the Govern
ment is all that could be desired. There
is no trouble with the gold reserve, that
barometer OF confidence. The business
men, capitalists and investors, not only of
our country, but of the world, are content
with our situation and prospects.
'fAll the nervousness which formerly
held us in its tolls has disappeared. In
its place we have confidence in the future,
confidence in the Government, confidence
in ourselves. The boarding of gold has
stopped, and much of the yellow
metal that was piled away during the de-
preston has come out and gone into cir
cula ation.

nearer 10 the passage OF new tariff law.

The question of the amount of revenue
to be derived from the much amended

was made clear that sufficient revenue
will not be produced. The caucus adopted
a proposition to place tax upon transac-

very positive assurances that this would

was considered more equitable plan than

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Lathe
Republicans of the Senate held well-at-
tended caucus o-night which lasted until
II 80. The disputed questions yet re-
naming .undisposed OF were taken up
seriatim and a harmonious agreement
reached. The result OF the caucus was SO
satisfactory that the Republicans believe
that the tariff bill will be disposed of, or
at least go through the COMMITTEES of the
whole, by Saturday OF this week. A
great deal. however, will depend upon the
course OF the Democrats.
The caucus decided to retain the anti
trust law in The Wilson bill, and this will
undoubtedly dispose of the anti trust
amend ment, as enough Democratic sup
port can be had to secure the adoption of
this section. 1t was also agreed that the
amendments made by the Finance Com
