Washington, May 30.-Today, after
long period of silence, Mr.. Tillman
(dem., S. c. startled the senate by
speech no less dramatic in its delivery
than sensational in it's allegations. He
preceded it by presenting resolution
for the appointment OF a special COM
mittee of five senators to investigate
the charges of speculation by senator's
while the tariff bill was before the
finance committee. In advocating the
resolution Mr.. Tillman threw aside the
usual conventionality of the senate,
and, with plainness of speech seldom
heard about the halls of congress,
called on his associates to investigate
the published charges of senatorial
speculation, and if found true, to purge
the senate of those who debauched it.
Mr.. Aldrich rep, r. ~ in charge of
the tariff bill, answered Mr.. Tillman
in a sweeping denial. The Tillman
resolution was referred to the commit
tee on contingent expenses of the SEN
ate.

THE POPE AND THE SULTAN.

A Rome correspondent gives the
history of the discontinuance of rela-
tions between the porte and the vat
lean. He says:
Last summer the pope in an auto
graph letter begged the sultan to pro-
tect the Christians in Crete. The
papal delegate, Mgr Bonetti, obtained
an audience at the Yildiz Kiosh and
formally presented the letter.
THE sultan, evidently irritated,
said in an undertone in Turkish Who
is this pope that's always meddling
in the affairs of our state?' and then
aloud in French: Tell his holiness
that it is my constant care to attend
to the welfare of all my subjects
1.-The pope, deeply offended at see
ing his plans for the eastern churches
upset in this fashion, tried another
letter last October. This had better
reception, but was never answered.
and there have been no direct COM
munications between the vatican and
the porte since"

NOT A "POLEMIC."

A Montana legislator the other day
thus addressed the chair: II feel that
for a plain man like myself to address
a body composed of so many law at
tori eys as this is, is indeed casting
pearls before the swine; or, in other
words, to make my meaning palmer,
the honor that l feel at the present
,tre overcomes me, as Goliath was
overcome, when, like David, come be-
fore you armed with only the-the-or,
as the good book says, let us ride a
hobby in this legislature, lest it turn
upcn us as did Balaam's ass, and, in
a loud voice, proclaim, 1 am he.
That's all right" exclaimed a fell
low member, but you cannot bisect
or dissect the wool Of carping nissan
thropy from the web Of immedicable
pessimism. You are polemic-"
You're liar"' interrupted the legis-
lator Pm a Populist-"-New York

THEY ALMOST SEPARATED.

Edward" said Mrs. Joblins, you
don't love me as much as you did
lefore we were married."
The young man was taken wholly
unawares. He looked at his wife in
questioning silence for moment and
tried to think of the last wicked thing
he had done. There was that pretty
girl that he had flirted with in the
street car. Could it be possible that
some spy had betrayed him? The
thought was not an agreeable one, and
IN a trembling voice he asked:
What do you mean?"
Before the wedding" she said,
you assured me that you never used
tobacco in any form whatever, and
you know that was one of the reasons
| admired YOU. Now your breath
smells of cigarettes, and I'm sure that
you don't care for me any more, for
you are fully aware of the fact that
| detest tobacco in any FORM
With glad cry of relief he caught
her in his arms, saying:
My darling, you surely don't think
they put tobacco in these things, do
you?"
And inside of four minutes her con-
tidence in him had been completely
restored. Leader.

THEATER HAT CIRCUMvENTED.
BY Means of New Binocular One May
See Around it.

Every day the world improves, and,
in the classic language of Charles A.
Dana, I'VE may be happy yet, you
bet!" In fact, science has circum-
vented the theater hat. Just how
this desideraum has been achieved
is related in the London Mail, which
says:
"A prominent optician In Bond
street is now displaying stereotele-
scope that will enable it's user to see
the performance on a stage, no matter
If lady with hat one foot high is
seated directly in front of him. This
instrument is a form of binocular, by
means of which corrected and highly
magnified version of anything at
distance may be seen, either at the
sides or over an obstruction, when the
User is looking through the glasses
directly at the obstructing head or hat.
This new opera-glass secures it's re-
suits by an arrangement of telescope
lenses in two arms six or eight inches
long, which bring reflection of the
object aimed at to point just in
frcnt of the eyes. The stereotelescopes
will be as valuable to those not in
the front rank of spectators at the
jubilee parade as they will be to the
untortunates who find their view

CONSUMPTION.

Biggs, two OF the most eminent bacter-
iologists in the world, tell us for the
third time in official reports that con-
sumption is a contagious disease. and

board of health could be persuaded to
proceed against it with half the in

against other contagious diseases.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS

bate on the new tariff bill. At 2 p.
m. the bill was formally introduced
without opposition. Mr.. Vest gave
notice that when the paragraphs were
read he would move to strike out the
provisions relating to beer, manufac-
tured tobacco and snuff and cigarettes.
Senator AlCrich then opened the de-
bate for the republicans, making a
long and elaborate argument.
The committee" he continued, be
lieves congress to provide in the meas
ure under consideration for revenue
which will certainly meet the require
ments OF the government for the fiscal
year" After giving in detail the house
estimates of revenue, Mr. Aldrich pro-
ceeded: 1T will be apparent from an
examination of the provisions of the
house bill that the estimate of $40,-
000, 900 increase of revenue, ii the bill
should become law by the first of
July, was excessive. Instead of an in
creased revenue from tobacco, we may
safely count upon decrease in the
first year; the increase from sugar will
be much less than the ways and means
committees estimate, owing to the
fact that one quarter of the years cup
plies of raw sugar will probably be
imported before any new rates of duty
can be applied to them. The secretary
of the treasury estimates the
expenditures for all purposes fer
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1898, at $466,94G. 047,2S. The finance
committee estimates the revenue to
be derived in the same fiscal year from
customs, il the provisions of the bill
reported by it should be enacted
into law. at $1S2,744, 900. This in
cudes an estimated revenue from the
temporary duty on tea of $S,O00,0O0.
I'm selecting the sources for addi-
tional revenue the committee decided
to increase temporarily the tax on
articles of voluntary use, rather than
to assess additional duties, which
might prove imperative, upon articles
of necessity or upon those which en-
ter into our manufactured products.
Assuming that the necessity for addi-
tional revenue exists, and of this we
believe there can be no question,
there is no economic reason, and GER
tainly none that affects the public in
terests, why beer and tobacco should
not bear their share of additional tax
alton"
Senator Vest followed Senator Aid
rich in vigorous speech against the
republican tariff policy. Senator Vest
inquired why, If there was now suf
fcient revenue for the expenses of the
the republican party
should adopt the policy of its oppo-
men. and put tax on tea. He urged
that there was in the treasury more
money than when President Harrison
turned 1t over to Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Cannon, the silver republican of
Utah, closed the debate. He intro
duced an amendment for a bounty on
exports and spoke briefly.
Mr.. Cannon's amendment provides
for short bounty on wheat, corn,
-four, tobacco and other farm products
by way of equalization to agricultu-
ralists of the benefits of this tariff act.
This amendment is n result of the con-
ference of silver republicans, populists
and some democrats which may be
said to represent the sentiment of the
element which puts silver above all
other legislation.

Washington, May 27.-Today in the
senate after routine business, the
final conference report on the sundry

A Tale Of the Jews in England.

Aye, aye, the old story-rapine cruelty and
oppression Could not Henry of England find
filter instrument to execute his arbitrary DEGREES
than old Richard Fakner?" And the knight threw
down the kings warrant with look of contempt
which argured little for his loyalty.
The speaker was a blunt soldier who had spent
the greater part of his life in the camp or the
battlefield. Full of the prejudices of his life, age
and country, he nevertheless possessed many high
and honorable feelings. He had witnessed with in
dignaton the meanness and injustice which char
acterzed the conduct Of Henry III towards the
unfortunate wanderers of Israel. Detesting them
as sect, Sir Richard Falkner pitied them vic
TINS and his personal knowledge of one of the
prescribed race had gone far towards disspating
the rancor engendered by bigotry.
An Israete had been many years settled in the
village of Chesterton, about a mile from Sir Rich
ards domain; and protected by its powerful baron,
he had escaped in great degree the prosecutions
which had ground his less unfortunate brethren to
the dust. A skilfu physician, Rabbi Ephraim,
was the friend and benefactor of all who needed
his assistance, and his benevolent character had
gained him the name of the good Jew of Ches-
terton.o He had one daughter, and the only sur
viving child of a numerous family and the sternest
fanatic forgot when he beheld the graceful
form OF Neela, the JeWess, supporting the Feeble
steps of her sickly and aged mother. But Rabbi
Ephram was no longer to be spared, for Sir Rich
ard exclamation had been called forth by order
from King Henry to demand of the Jew thou
sand silver marks before the first of November, to
which it wanted but two days.
At some distance from the village of Chesterton
and close to the sea which in stormy weather washed
it's walls stood the house of Ephram, its plain but
massive front looking out upon the expanse of waters
studded here and there with the white sails of some
fishng-boat looking like seabirds wing in the dis
lance At the back Of the house an extensive
garden in which of the latest flowers of the
season still blooming, and when Sir Richard
arrived his disagreeable mission he refined his

NO HOPE FOR HULL.
District Court Refuses to Open the
JUDGMENT.

The petition of Rev. James C. Hull for an
order to open, correct and set aside the
Judgment pronounced on Nov. 10, 1896, was
dismissed by Judges Kelly, Otis and Bum, in
an order filed yesterday The assistant county
attorney at the time the hearing was had,
moved that the petition be dismissed on the
ground that the court had no jurisdiction.
me court was of the same opinion, as the
following memorandum will show:
Defendants counsel comedies that under
the common law the court has no power
after the expiration of the term at which
1t was pronounced to open, alter and amend
Its Judgment and sentence in criminal case.
In any event, that is the well-settled law,
and needs no citation of authority. Defend,
ants counsel relies upon what is contained
in section 5267, Statutes of Minnesota, 1894,
relative to the relief against mistakes, open
ing judgments, etc. He argues that the
common law so far as 1t relates to the powers
of the court to punish crime, has been su-
perseded by the Penal Code, and that the
restrictions of the common law, the reason
for which no longer exists, should not be
considered as preventing the court from
doing any act in furtherance of justice. Ex-
animation VIII convince counsel that the
restrictions placed by the common law upon
courts meddl.ng with their judgments in
criminal matters after term were written
into the law by the courts themselves and
invariably in the interest of the accused.
They were not placed there at the instance
history of all the decided cases shows In
our Judgment il would be most unwise, dan
gerous and not in furtherance of justice to
change the rule if we could. The statute
cited relied on applies to civil actions. The
text and context make this plain.

TO ISSUE SUCH THE CONSTITUTION
VESTS SUPREME COURT WITH
POWER.
JUDGE OTIS SAYS, HOWEVER,
SUCH JURISDICTION Is NOT EN-
CLUSIVE-DISTRICT COURT MAY
EXERCISE TT,
BECAUSE IT a COURT OF APPEAL
Order in the VIII Case by Which
Judge WiIlrich Receives Some
Instructions.

Judge Otis has denied the respon-
dents motion for the vacation of writ
of certiorari in the case Of the Sisters
of the Order of St. Benedict and Alloy
STA and the eXecutriX of the estate Of
Julia VIII. deceased, against Gebbard
Willrich. judge of probate.
The appellants applied for a writ
directing the judge of probate to make
and certify to the district court a full
and correct transcript of certain papers
and records.
Judge Otis, in the memorandum deny
ing the motion to Vacate the writ, says,
while the co. stitutiol vests the supreme
court with original jurisdiction to issue
writs Of certiorari, such jurisdiction
is not exclusive. The district court is
court Of appeal from the probate
court, and to this court only from such
probate court can appeals be taken.
1t is therefore a proper court to re-
view the actions and proceedings of
the probate court and may correct
errors when such correction Is proper
and necessary. The decree in which
error is claimed operates as a construc-
ton of the will of Catherine Will, and
the eXecutrix and the order have such
an interest as entities them to relief
in case of improper construction. To
assign the estate. the probate court
must determine who take under the
will who by the will are made devisees
under any and all conditions arising
under it.. If Menka E. Will was a
residuary devisee, those claiming I'M
der her must see to it that she is so
recognized upon final distribution.
Counsel for respondent asks that If q
hearing is to be had. 1t be set for
September. The application shows that
the matter of this decree was taken
under Amusement by the probate court
in June, 1896, and nearly a year elapsed
before It was determined. The devisee
in whose favor the decree went is in
possession of the property and enjoying
the fruits thereof. Under the circum-
stances the REALTORS should not be fur
Their delayed. The further hearing of
the case, according to the order of the
court, is set for special term July II,
at which time Judge Willrich is ordered
to make the proper return of records
and papers in the case.
