DEBATE CREATED
QUITE A STIR
FINAL VOTE on THE FREE
HOMESTEAD BILL TAKEN.
It Was Passed, 42 to II, the Mega
tives Being Chiffon, Clay, Cor
man, Hawley, Kenny, Mills,
Murphy, Plat, Smith, Vest and
Walthall-Morgan Cuban Resolu-
ton Goes Over.

Washington. May 4.-Senators Cor
man of Maryland and Foraker OF
Chic had little tilt in the senate late
today during the consideration of the
sundry civil appropriation bill. There
was added interest in the controversy
from the fact that Mr. Foraker is a
newcomer and this was his maiden eff
fort. 1t occurred when Mr.. Foraker
offered an amendment appropriatins
100000 for the Tennessee river.
This gave Mr.. German a text for a
severe criticism of reckless eXtrava-
gance in appropriations.
There was something of a stir when
Mr.. Foraker arose to reply to Mr. Cor
man. He began with mild criticism
of Mr.. German for attempting, as he
said, to instruct senators as to their
duty to the country. The Ohio senator
then spoke of the policy of the Repub-
lican party as to the tariff and main
tanned that the tariff policy of the Re-
publicans was speaking for itself more
eloquently than any human tongue can
speak" He assured the senator from
Maryland that the Republican admin
istration would raise sufficient revenue
to meet the needs of the government
without resorting to bond issues and
at the same time he would guarantee
that there would be no unnecessary or
extravagant expenditures.
Mr.. German replied in a jocular vein
and spoke of Mr.. Foraker as lone of
the great host from Ohio" and ex-
pressed surprise that the senator
from the state sending US a president
should be the first to urge an increase
of half a million dollars in the appro-
DriationS.
Upon Mr.. Allison's explanation Mr.
Foraker finally withdrew the amend
ment.
A final vote on the free homestead
bill was taken at o'clock and the bill
passed-42 to IL
The negative vote was: Chiffon,
Clay, German, Hawley, Kenney, Mills,
Murphy, Platt (Connecticut), Smith,
Vest and Walthall.
The tariff bill was reported early in
the day and Mr.. Aldrich gave notice
that it would be called up on the 18th
inst.
The Morgan Cuban resolution again
went over
The sundry civil bill was considered,
but was not completed.
The item of s2,333, 1873 for continuing
the improvement of the Mississippi
from the head of the passes to the
mouth of the Ohio river was amended
SO as to be Immediately available.
At 4:40 the senate went into execu-
tive session and then adjourned.

Tea Trade Regulations.

Washington, May 4-Collector Kill
breth has received from Secretary of
the Treasury Gage a series of reg
ulations aimed to prevent the impor-
tation of spurious and adulterated teas.
The new regulations, which must be
put into effect at once, provide that

chandize for sale as tea, which is in
ferior in quality, purity and fitness for
consumption to the standard fixed in
the new regulations. shall, in accord
ance with the act of March 2, 1897, be
prohibited. Instead of being entered
on consumption" blanks as heretofore,
all entries of tea hereafter must be
sent to the warehouse to be examined
as to purity and quality. II below the
standard it may be exported or de-
stroyed.

FAIR-cRAvEN SUIT.
Expert Testimony Will Be Exten-
ciua1-r Ted

s1vely Used.
San Francisco, May 5.-The Fair
Craven suit to determine the ownership
of city property valued at g. 900, 600. has
reached the end of its first stage
The proof of Senator Fairs visit to
San Rafael in company with his valet,
Herbert Clark. from Sept. 10 TO %, 1894,
has been completely established. In
fact, his visit and the date were adj
United by the attorneys for Mrs.
Craven. Having thus cast the first
stone at the Craven deeds by showing
that at the time he is alleged to have
delivered them to Mrs. Craven he was
IN san Rafael, the way was cleared for
the attorneys for the executors to I'M
mask their batteries in direct attack.
The testimony which will occupy the
courts atteneon for many DAYS to
come will concern the deeds themselves,
and the proof of their forgery will be
attempted by many witnesses. En-
ployees of the Croker company III be
called TO show that the blanks upon
which the certificates of acknowledge
ment of the deeds was made were not
struck off until more than a year after
they purported to have been signed by
Notary Cooney; exports will be called
to pass upon the handwriting and to
show tracings and erasures- 1t has
long been limited by the plaintiffs that
the first intended beneficiary under the
alleged spurious deeds was not Mrs.
Craven herself, but her daughter, and
that it was only after a point blank re-
fusal from the young lady that the
name of Nettie r. Craven was substi-
tuted. 1t is said the experts will show,
by the aid of powerful lenses, that I'M
derneath the name Nettie appears the
faintest possible tracing of a name
erased. that Of her daughter Margaret.
In this way, the executors hope to
show that the authenticity of the
Cr&Yen deeds cannot be established.

King Georges View.

Rome. May Am Athens dispatch to
II Corriere Della Sera, of Milan, SAYS
that Riccotti Garibaldi has had a long
conference with King George, who
seemed more preoccupied with his po-
sition in the eyes of the powers than
with the war;
His majesty, it appears, was in excel
lent humor. Continuing, the dispatch
asserts that NJ. Rail-. the Greek pre-
mier, after suggesting that Riccotti
Garibaldi should enroll Greeks among
the Italian volunteers. now requests
him to suspend the enrolment Of Ital-
ians. 1t is inferred that secret nego-
tiations to end the warfare are pro-
ceeding.

Chicago. May 4.-Suffering India was
brought close to the heart of Chicago
through a mass meeting held at the
Auditorium last night. The horrors of
famine and the death struggles of a
Representation people were depicted
TO an audience of 1900 persons that
testified its willingness to help by
reaching deep into its pockets. Ten
thousand dollars in cash and 25 car
loads of corn are the estimated sub
stantial fruits of the evening, and they
VIII go a long way toward making up
the ship load of grains which Chicago
phllantrophists have made up their
minds 10 send TO the land of sorrows
The crowd that sought admittance into
the Auditorium was 50 great uhat an
Overflow meeting was held at Central
Music hall
The meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Chicago Indian relief COM
nlittee, of which C. c.. Bonney is chair
man. Its efforts were sourred on
through two influences which have al
ready done splendid work in the cause
of relief, one being in the east, the
Christian Herald, and the other in the
west, the Chicago board of trade The
large stage of the Auditorium was filed
With several hundred of the most prom
inent philantrophists in the city. The
speakers represent many points of
view and brought all the arguments
or religion and humanity and all the
motives of sympathy and compassion
TO bear for the succor of those brothers
whom they held to be most in need of
ala among all the human beings on
the earth's surface. Mayor Carter Har-
riSon and DIR. F. w. Gunsaulus testified
to their desire to aid the movement in
sending their regrets at their inability
to be present.
Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage, who has
been travelling through the country for
several weeks and has already raised
100000 and 100000 bushels of corn, was
the chief speaker at the meeting.

FLEEcED THE MINERS. .
Arizona Gambler Who Was Willing
to Back Corbett

10 BACK COIDSLC.
Phoenix dispatch to the New York
World Goldfieldsis a little mining
camp in the Superstition mountains,
so miles east of here. In the afternoon
of the day of the Corbett- FftzsimnOns
fight a weary-loOking individual drew
rein on jaded horse in front of the
camps saloon, where had gathered the
larger part of the population TO observe
St. Patrick's day. He was recognized
as a gambler who occasionally made a
trip to Goldfields about payday time.
His first inquiry as he vacated his
saddle was: ANY news from the
fight" There was no news. There
would be none till the blackboard came
in that night from Mesa, the nearest
telegraph station, twenty-five miles
away.
But there was only one opinion in the
camp as to who would win. Every man
in sight was willing to stake his holt
day capital on Corbett 1t was not I'M
usual for the gambler to take con-
trary view from the miners. But ne
met only with derision when he stated
faith in the superior prOweSs of the
COrnishman. Had he cash 10 back up
his belief?" He had. He had done
very we'll at Florence, ne said, and
would wager his poker winnings if de-
cent odds could be had. They could.
He laid out about 1000 on Fitzsim-
mons. With odds of and to 1. Then
he got into a game of cinch in a quiet
corner. and there remained till the mail
blackboard came in, shortly before mid
night. He collected his winnings at
the bar, '-set EN- up" and vanished.
The next day a visitor from Mesa
said he had seen the gambler about the
Mesa telegraph Office early on the
afternoon of st. Patricks day He re-
ceived a telegram which seemed to call
upon him to mount his horse and ride
furiously away in the direction of Cold
fields.
Several of the miners cut mosquito
clubs and came to Phoenix. but their
bird had flown.

A NICE POINT.
Citizenship Question Between Amer
lea and GermanV


New York, Nav A dispatch from
Washington to the Herald says that
the latest citizenship question which
has arisen between this government
and Germany has resulted in the issu-
ance of instructions by the state de-
partment to Ambassador Uhl, directing
him to make a demand for the i'm
mediate release of an American citi-
zen named Mayer, who, the authorities
consider. has been wrongfuHy i'm
pressed into the military service of the
German government. A new and i'm
portant issue has been raised in this
case. Mayer was born in this country
of German subject, the latter, al
though living here for some years,
failed to take out naturalization
papers.
When the child was IL or II years of
age his parents returned to their native
land. Mayer attended German schools,
and when he reached the age of u he
was informed that he must enter the
German army. Mayer refused to enlist
on the ground that he was an Amer
lean citizen. The case was brought to
the ci.tention of the American a-nbas-
sador who forwarded the papers to
Washington for the state departments
consideration. Investigation showed
that Mayer really had claim on this
government The department states in
its instructions to the ambassador that
persons born on American soil are
Americans end as such are entitled to
the protection of this government
When the matter was first brought to
the attention of the German authori-
ties, they denied the right of the
United States to interfere, holding that
as Mayer was born of a German
subject he was a. German citizen. The
authorities found that in another case
of military Imprisonment which was
considered some years ago, Germany
admitted practically the contention
now raised. The authorities are con-
fident the demand of this government
will be complied with.
