Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1897-04-27

Des Moines. Ia. April 27.-The pros
poets for the final adjournment OF the
legislature during this week are not
bright. owing to disagreement between
the two houses over several important
measures and the failure of the commit
tee investigating the Office of state
printer and binder to report. This COM
mittee is still hearing evidence, and it
is now stated that it will not be able
to report during the coming week. The
sensation of the sessions of the COM
mittee so far was the evidence of r. p.
Clarkson, editor of the Des Moines
Register. He filed with the committee
a guaranteed proposition to do the state
printing and binding for six years at a
price 25 per cent. less than that fixed
by the senate bill.

HE HAS WRECKED THE BANK.
Young Cassin's Shortage ut Atlanta WI
Be Several Times AS. 600.

Atlanta. April 27.-Harry A. Cassin,
the cashier of the Georgia Savings, Loan
and Banking company. who on Sunday
confessed to being a defaulter to the
extent Of $4,000, and whose friends had
engaged to pay up his shortage to keep
him out Of Jail, is now behind the bars
of Fulton prison. At a meeting Of the
board of directors of the institution
which was robbed a brief examination
of the books was made and this resulted
in the astounding discovery that the
bank. which was supposed to be one of
the most prosperous in the state, had
barely a cents worth of assets.
Instead of tae shortage being SIS 600
It will be several times that sum. and
instead Of young Cassin being the bear
er of the entire guilt it is now believed
that at least one other conspicuous Of
fetal will share a cell with him A re-
markable chain of evidence has been
the immediate result of Cassin's en-
forced confession. The company has
over 400 agents at work in different cit
les. Several hundred thousand dollars
worth of its bonds have been held as
gilt-edge securities by people in Men,
phis, New York, Boston, Philadelphia
and Chicago.

Springfield, April 27.-The senate con-
vened at o'clock last evening. No
quorum was present, and after reading
the journal the body adjourned till to-
day. In the house the special commit
tee appointed to inspect the executive

rupted by numerous requests for unan-
imous consent to take up measures out
of the regular order. Suttle's anti-de-
partment store bill, prohibiting a cor
poration engaging in the business Of re-
failing merchandise, was ordered to sec
ond reading. Buckner's civil rights bill
was advanced to third reading. Shan
mans bill prohibiting continued and
brutal bicycle racing was ordered to

Appeal in the LEM Case.

Washington, April 27.-United States
Minister Terrell has cabled the state
department from Constantinople that
the Turkish minister of foreign affairs
has promised to entertain an appeal in
the LEM case. and that steps are being
taken to perfect it. LEM was a young
American bicyclist who was killed by
Kurds near Erzeroum in Turkey. Our
minister at Constantinople induced the
Turkish government to prosecute the
murderers, but before the case came to
trial they were all allowed to slip away
from the country and the trial by de-
fault ended in an acquittal.

WHAT Is NEEDED IN ALASKA.
Odious Comparison Between Our Way
and British Ways.

OdiOus Comparison Between Our Ways
and British Ways.
Washington. April &c. H. Hmilton
now of Alaska, is in the city on business
Hamilton is the secretary and assistant
manager Of the North American Trans
portation and Trading company at Fort
Cudahy, which is situated, not in Alas
ka, but just across the boundary in
Queen Victoria's dominions. He says:
What we need most in Alaska is some
kind of government. At Fort Cudahy
law and order prevail, as they do al
ways where British dominion exists.
We call the English slow, but on some
very great matters they are not half so
dilatory as our people. On the Ameri-
can side there is no semblance of au-
thority.
AT Circle City, lower down on the
Yukon, is population of 1880 people,
and yet there is not a magistrate or po-
lice officer to repress lawlessness. 1t is
a pretty sure thing that this season will
bring in a big influx of miners, and
among them will be many tough charac-
tiers. I fear that unless some precautions
are taken by the United States govern
ment serious trouble may ensue at some
of the mining settlements"

many of the senators having gone to
New York to attend the Grant cere-
monies. When the Indian bill was re-
ported back from the house an effort

ever was to be transacted. Thereupon
at 1905 p. m. the senate adjourned to

AS TO THE STATUS OF DOGS.


Property Position Is Between the Devil
and the Deep Sea-"
Washington, April 27.-The United
States supreme court yesterday decided
a case involving q claim for damages
for killing a dog, which had made its
way from the lower courts Of New Or
leans through the various phases Of liti-
CATION to be finally decided here, in OPP
position to the claim. The suit was in
stituted by George w. Sentell. Jr., VS..
the New Orleans and Carrollton Rail-
road company. The dog, q Newfound-
land valued at $500, was killed by a car
owned by the railroad company. The
case turned upon the validity Of an act
of the Louisiana legislature recognizing
dogs as personal property only when
placed upon the assessment rolls. In
this case the dog was not assessed. JUS
tice Brown delivered the opinion of the
court, sustaining the constitutionality
Of the'law and refusing damages. JUS
tice Brown laid down the law in regard
to dogs in general in the following
terms:
The very fact that they are without
protection of the criminal laws shows
that property in dogs is of an imperfect
or qualified nature, and that they stand
as it were between animals ferae nat
urae. in which until subdued there is nc
property, and domestic animals, in
which the right of property is complete
They are not considered as being upon
the same plane with horses. cattle, sheer
end other domestic animals, but rather
in the category Of cats. monkeys, par.
rots, singing birds and similar animals
kept for pleasure, curiosity or caprice
Unlike domestic animals. they are use
full neither as beasts of burden, fol
draught nor for food"

REPUBLICANS EXPRESS SURPRISE.
Opposition Not in the Habit of Attempting
Amendment in Committee.

Amendment in Committee,
Washington, April 27.-The Republi-
can members of the committee express
surprise at the refusal Of the Demo-
Gratis to allow the tariff bill to go d.
rect to the senate instead of passing
through the committee. They say the
Democratic members have indicated no
desire to suggest amendments; that it
would be unusual if they should at
tempt to modify the bill in committee,
and that the proceeding of putting it
through the full committee will be pure
ly perfunctory. They show confidence
in being able to secure an early report,
even though there is opposition to i'm
mediate presentation to the senate, and
they count confidently upon the as
sistance of Jones of Nevada in getting
the measure out of the committee.
The Republican members now expect
to be able to send the bill to the printer
tomorrow night. and to present it to the
full committee Thursday. They admit
however, that there is still considerable
detail work to be done, and Allison and
Aldrich, both said last night that there
was no absolute certainty of carrying
this programme into execution. The
Democrats have not yet decided how
much time they may want for the con.
sideration of the bill in committee, and
will not be able to decide until they see
the amended bill. and also ascertain the
position that Jones of Nevada, will as.
sumo toward the measure.
He will hold the balance of power in
the committee and if he throws his in.
