Sus opiniones eran favorables para

era tranquilizadora. Ante esa actitud+
me Vi fusilado.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-02-02

Washington, Feb. 1.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Harmon today instructed the
United States district attorney at
Jacksonville to proceed against the
steamer Three Friends as a pirate. The
prosecution viii be against the vessel
and not against her officers and crew
in accordance with section 1927 of the
revised statutes.
The purpose of the attorney general
in bringing the prosecution is largely
to test the opinion recently given by
Judge Locke, of the United States court
at Jacksonville in the case of the Three
Friends In discharging her officers
from custody Judge Locke held that
there was no state of war in Cuba,
and the Three Friends was not there
fore engaged in a political mission.
According to the understanding at the
department of justice this opinion
clearly made the Three Friends amena-
bic to prosecution for piracy, granting
the statements made through certain
New York newspapers are true that
she was armed and fired upon a Span
1Sh vessel, for if her mission was nom
political she was engaged in armed at
tack on or resistance to a friendly
state. The prosecution has an ad
ditional interest from the fact that the
case viii be heard before Judge Locke.
No one here, however, believes that the
yarns about this unarmed tug boat
carrying q solitary HOtchkiss gun at
lacking well-equipped Spanish gun
Goat can be sustained by the slightest
fragment of proof.

ARBITRATION TREATY.
AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED BY
THE COMMITTEE.
They Are Received Abroad in a
Spirit That Bodies No Good For
the Proposition.

Washington, Feb. Immediately
after the senate convened at noon Mr..
Sherman moved an executive session,
stating that it would require but a
short time. When the doors were
closed he reported the general treaty
of arbitration as amended Saturday by
the committee. The first of these
amendments adds at the end of the
first article the clause:
But no question which affects the
foreign or domestic policy either of
the high contracting parties or the
regulations of either with any other
state or power, by treaty or otherwise,
shall be subject to arbitration and
this treaty except by special agree
ment."
The second strikes out all reference
wherever it occurs to the Sweden and
Norway umpire, where the tribunal
fails to agree upon such umpire.
After the report was made Mr..
Sherman asked that inasmuch as the
text of the convention had been made
public the injunction of secrecy be re-
moved from the text of the amend
ments, but Senator Morgan objected
and the request was denied. No at
tempt was made to arrange a time for
the consideration of the treaty nor
was anything said about debating it in
open session.

right to wear the uniform of that rank;

park; providing that surgeons of SOL
diers' homes may be appointed from
others than those who have been dis
abled in the service of the United
States; extending the authority of the
president to issue medals of honor TO
others than officers and enlisted men;
to restore TO his former rank in the
navy and place on the retired list,
Commander John Quackenbush; grant
ing to Colorado 557 acres in Fort Lyon
reservation for a state soldiers home;
authorizing the entry of public lands
containing petroleum under the mining
laws: directing the issue of patents for
the located. but unconfirmed, lands in
Louisiana-228 tracts containing about
$4,000 acres.
voted to the consideration, in commit
tee of the whole of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill.
1t was not concluded when at $50
o'clock, the committee rose and the
house adjourned

Washington, Feb 1.-Two resolutions
Allen pop. Neb,,) looking to the sus-
pension of the proceedings for the jul
dicial sale of the Union Pacific rail-
way property, and which are lying on
the presidents table, liable to be
taken up for action in the morning
hour, were not taken up today. al
though Mr. ThurSton (Rep. Neb-,) who
had indicated an intention to speak
upon them, was in the senate cham
ber
A resolution was offered by Mr..
Chandler (Rep. N. H. and was re-
ferred to the committee on privileges
and elections, inStructing that COM
mittee to investigate the recent presi-
Dental and state election in Delaware
and to report to the senate whether a
republican form of government exists
in that state.
The Nicaraguan canal bill was taken
up and an unsuccessful effort was
made to have a day and hour fixed for
final vote.
The discussion then proceeded on
Mr. Villas motion, submitted last
Thursday, to have the bill recommit-
ted. Mr.. Villas spoke of the inter-
oceanic canal project as historic
Dream" and quoted Senator Sherman's
statement the other day that the canal
could not be constructed by an in
corporated company, and must be
built, if at all, by the government
and also that the bill could not posi-
bly, pass the house in the present con-
gress. Mr.. Villas had not finished his
speech when, at p. NJ, the senate
proceeded to executive business, adj
journing soon afterward.

Alleged Unlawful Rates.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The interstate
commerce commission today. in an opin-
ion by Commissioner Prouty announced
Il decision in the matter of alleged I'M
lawful rates and practices in the trans
portation of grain and grain products by
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail-
way company, the Chicago Great West
ern Railway company and others, con-
corning a transportation practice of the
Chicago Great Western Railway COM
pany. This company, owning the entire
stock of the Iowa Development company
which had been organized for the pur-
pose of holding the title to certain lands
of the railway company. caused grain to
be purchased in Kansas City in the name
of sthe development company, transported
over the lines of the railway company
to Chicago and there sold upon the mar
ket. The development company had no
bona fide interest in the transaction.
Neither the railway company nor the
development company purchased the
grain for the purpose of ownership, the
whole transaction being simply device
to secure its transportation at other than
published rates; and the only rate paid
was the profit upon the transaction,
which varied with each shipment. The
commission held that this constituted q
violation of the second, third and sixth
sections of the act to regulate charges.
