The appointment of ex Judge
Tourgee to be consul to Bordeaux,
France, calls to mind the remarkable
career of man whose experiences
have been exceptional. In North
Carolina he was as a Superior court
Judge, and a leader in framing the
constitution of 1868. Leaving the
State, he moulded the literary cam
paign bullets for the Republican
party. made a fortune as an author,
lost 1t as a publisher, and is now
content with small consulshfp, his
wife having gone to Washington and
begged it as a means OF sustenance.
The late Governor Holden always
said he was bad man, vengeful and
treacherous.

IF the d, ,ision of the Chicago
Judge is sustained, the way will be
open to handle the tobacco trust in
an effective way. This decision de-
clares the American Tobacco Com

hibits it's agents from carrying on
business in Illinois. The position is
taken that the power of self-preserva-
ton is inherent in Statehood and
that this gives State the power to
pass and enforce any law which is
necessary and Indispensable to the
preservation of public health.
Whether this is law or not, there
appears to be lot of common sense

SWEET, BUT SOUR.

Sugar may not prove very sweet
subject to. some people in high posi-
tion if the Senatorial searchlight is
turned upon the different phases of
the sugar schedule of the tariff bill.
1t will be remembered that one
Chapman refused to answer certain
questions in the last sugar investiga-
tion and that he was sentenced to a
months imprisonment for contempt.
A few days ago, resolution was
offered in the Senate which intim ated
that Chapman's sentence would be
annulled if he would go before the
Senate and answer the questions
which he refused to answer when he
was upon the stand.
This resolution has been the sub
iect of a lively debate in the Senate.
Senator Tillman fiourished his pitch
fork during this debate and, as is his
custom, used some pretty plain
words. From his speech we make
the following extracts, which will
give an idea of the suspicious that
hover about the sugar question:
eve are not after Chapman. The
original investigation was not in
tended to punish Chapman, but to
discover whether any Senator on this
floor had been guilty of using his Of
fetal position to make money by
specializing in stocks which were in
fluenced by his action as a Senator
on the committee which reported the
tariff bill. 1t is not worth while to
try to cover up this matter with
badinage and fippancy.
There are two correspondents who
have over their own signatures
charged that Senators have specn
lated within the last week and made
money. Now, if you want to investi-
gate, you have a new reason to in
vestigate. Ii you intend to get at
get at the truth, and to punish those
else hush. That is the whole sum and
Chapman. We want Havemeyer. We

man who bought your committee last |
week, if they were bought. That is
what we are here for; and now let the |
Senator who has moved to refer the |;
matter, and who loves the dignity OF |
the Senate as much as any other |
man, take the resolution to his COM
mittee and bring buck a measure ]
here that will mean something"

TURKEY cannot be placed in the

asked for, but it may get more than
if it had asked for less in the outset.

The time fixed for the new tariff
bill to take effect is July 1st, but it
now appears unlikely that any tariff
bill will be adopted by that time.
Indeed, it is intimated that whatever
schedule may be agreed upon will not
be in shape for passage earlier than
the LIST of August. In the meantime,
the business interests of the country
must bear the added burden that
always attends prolonged tariff agi-
tation. Thus it is that the Republi-
cans perform prediction promises
to bring relief to an oppressed people.
A day of retribution is in store for
the political tricksters.

MEMENTO FOR MORSS
Our Retiring Consul General at
Paris Receives an Address.
GIVEN BY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
He Also Receives a Vase as . Token of
Appreciation Frem His Fellow COun-
trymen-Happy Speeches and
Responses Are Made.

Responses Are Made.
Paris, May 19.-An interesting func-
ton took place when a deputation rep
resenting the American chamber OF
commerce in Paris presented to Mr..
Samuel e. Morss, the retiring consul
general, an Illuminated address and q
large silver repousse vase, bearing al
legorical figures
The address, which Is beautiful work
of art, was designed by the well known
painter, Nine. Louise Abema, and Is in
closed in a frame about Is by "a inches
in dimensions.
The address, which was read by DIR.
Tying, the president of the chamber, is
hattering expression of the personal
good will of the members of the chamber
toward Mr.. Morss and their sincere re-
gret at his forthcoming retirement. 1t
says in part:
Among the founders and first friends
of this chamber, when it's work and in
fiuence were in debate, Consul General
Morss gave the aid of his name, position,
talents and earnest efforts to the fur
therance of its interests. Through the
series of years which have passed since
its organization he has served continu-
ously, not only as honorary member,
but also as honorary director in its ac-
tive administration. He has contribut-
ed his long experience in affairs to the
solution of the problems which have oc-
cupied its attention.
Its Good Name and Credit.
His presence at the meetings Of its
board of directors, his counsel in con-
nection with the several projects which
have claimed it's appreciation and his
intervention with the general govern
ments of the United States and France,
both in official reports and by personal
recommendation, have tended to estab-
lish the good name and the credit of the
chamber in both countries. To these
memories forming many reasons for
the grateful recognition of the chamber
he has added the charm of his personal
acquaintance and generous friendship
which has stimulated its officers and
members in their common work"
In the second resolution of the ad-
dress the chamber expresses to Mr.
Morss the profound interest which 1t
will ever feel in his personal welfare
and success as well as in such efforts
as he may make for the acceptance of
reciprocity in international commerce
through the press, on the platform and
in public office after his retirement from
his present honorable position, which he
has filled with so much intelligence and
efficiency"
Mr.. Morss replied feelingly in ac-
acknowledgement of the Exceptional hon
or conferred upon me by the chamber"
The presentation was followed by a
reception, at which more than 500 were
present, among them most of the lead
ing members Of the American colony in
Paris

Lunaey Commissions Wants.

commission held a meeting and consid-
cred two requests from the managers
of the Manhattan State hospital, one
for the construction of pavilion build
ing at Central Islip to cost 5000, 900, and
the other for the construction of a cot
tage colony at the same place, at a cost
of $50OOOO. No action will be given on
the first proposition until the commits
sion looks over the ground and deter
mines whether there is a necessity for
1t, and the second proposition cannot be
acted upon until next year, as no money
is available for the construction of such
an expensive work. John L. Parkhurst
of Canandaigua, the newly appointed
commissioner, sat with the commission
for the first time.

SAcKETs HARsoR TRAGEDY.
Crouch Released From Custody and Allen
Said TO Be Indicted.


Watertown, May 1s.-By order of Dis
trict Attorney Kellogg, Wilbur Crouch,
who was arrested April 16 charged with
the murder of his wife and her friend,
Mary Daley, at Sackets Harbor, walked
out of Jefferson Jail a free man.
Early on the morning of April 16 a
livery rig containing the dead bodies of
the Crouch and Daley women came into
the yard of Liveryman Jackson, the
horses having been abandoned and hav-
ing returned home. Soon after Private
George Allen Haynes, known then as
George Allen, came to the messroom at
the barracks and accused Crouch of the
double murder His wet clothes and
four bullet wounds on his person con-
firmed that part of his story relating to
his being shot and thrown into Mill
creek.
Crouch was Immediately arrested and
has been confined in Jail ever since.
His examination has been set for three
different days and has been adjourned
each time on account of Aliens condi-
tion, which was reported as being very
serious, with doubts of recovery. Crouch
from the first asserted his innocence
and felt positive that he would not be
indicted.
Admission to Allen was denied to all
except the officials and the attendants,
so the public has had no statement
from him since the murder except as
given by the attending surgeons. 1t
was generally thought, however, that
his condition was not as bad as report
ed, and from evidence afterward found
there was no doubt that Allen had lied,
and many people became convinced that
he himself was guilty.
The grand jury began the investiga-
tion of the case Thursday, and a large
number of witnesses were examined.
The jury finished the case yesterday.
From the fact that Crouch has been re-
leased and from hints dropped by coun-
ty officials and members of the jury
there seems to be no doubt that an in
dictment has been found against Allen.

AN ARMISTlCE GRANTED.
Upon the Insistence of Russia, Turkey
Temporarily Ceases HostiIities.

Constantinople, May 1s. - Edhem
Pasha, commanding the Turkish army
operating against the Greeks, has been
ordered to cease hostilities.
The official announcement is made
that the sultan has proclaimed a sus-
pension of hostilities with Greece, with
the object of showing his good will to-
ward iAe powers.
1t transpires that the ear made
direct appeal to the sultan to order his
troops to cease hostilities and arrange
an armistice, and this. coupled with the
fact that most serious results would
have ensued if Turkey had persisted in
her defiant attitude, brought about the
present state of affairs.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, has called upon the
dean Of the diplomatic corps, Baron Won
Calice, and conveyed to the foreign
minister the sultan's decision to arrange
an armistice.
1t is now believed that the terms of
peace will be negotiated between Tur-
key and Greece.
