The San Francisco call., 1897-03-30

The nature of the transaction condemns 1t
as usurpation of authority by the ex-
ecutive that has no support in law. 1t is
too much to ask that Coneress shall stand
by and witness a disposal of this vast
property under a private agreement be-
tween the executive and great railroad
combination without even protest, and
shall enlarge its jurisdiction to give the
sem blance of judicial sanction to such
proceeding.
The proposed sale of the Union Pacific
was to enable great railroad combina-
ton to control transportation from New
York to the Pacific over that road. Nor.
gan denies the justice of endeavoring to
shoulder the settlement of this question
on the executive. 1t was a scheme to
shelter this Union Pacific 'behlnd the
sacred respect that would be felt for a
settlement by the President" The Presi-
dent should not be forced to act as um pire
in a contest between crime and public
Justice, and to invite him TO find some
middle ground of adjustment that will
result in condoning the wrongs, and in
the relaxation of the duty of the Govern
ment.
There cannot be-" says Morgan, in
conclusion, "a more dangerous political
arrangement in any form of proceeding
to be employed in the administration or
disposal of these railroad properties and
frauchiSes thar that which is provided
in the bill reported to the Senate. No on e
was ever offered the control of a mors
powerful and dangerous political lever
age than is presented in this bill to the
President and his Cabinet. That it will
not be improperly used is no reason why
Congress should recognize so dangerous a
departure from safety"

SENATORS ARGUE ARBITRATION.
Bacon of Georgia Says Salisbury Cannot
Find an Excuse to Refuse TO
R1fny the Treaty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 29.-The
debate on the arbitration treaty in the
Senate to-day was dull and spiritless and
OF short duration.
Bacon Of Georgia spoke in favor of such
amendments to the convention as should
effectually eliminate certain questions
from arbitration under the terms of the
treaty. He thought it was essential
10 either adopt the amendment
of mr.. Chiffon, which leaves the
Senate to act upon and approve
any and ell propositions submitted
to arbitration or to eliminate the great
questions involving the Monroe doctrine,
matters offoreign or domestic policy and
kindred subjects by name. He denied
that Lord Salisbury would be justified in
rejecting the treaty, as was reported in
some OF the press dispatches, If it were so
amended. or if it were made applicable to
pecuniary claims only. He would be
stopped from such rejection by his own
attitude when the treaty was being nego-
tiated, inasmuc as he at that time in
sisted that only such matters should be
included.
Senator Turpie OF Indiana followed in
brief speech in advocacy of the ratitica-
ton OF the treaty as it stood with the
com mittee amendments which have been
agreed to. These he believed covered
every point that has been made in crit!-
cism OF the instrument and protected the
United States mpletely. When Mr..
Turpie had concluded no one else cared to
speak and the Senate adjourned
The vote on the various amendments
that have been offered will be taken We'd
nesoay afternoon at o. clock and if any
amendments are subsequently offered the
vote on them is 10 be taken the next day
al O'Clock. After that no amendments
are 10 be received and the debate will be
directed against the treaty as amended by
these votes. Chairman Davis hopes to get
the final vote this week.

JAPAH'S GOLD STANDARD.
One Hundred end Forty Million Yen in
Silver That May Have to Be
Redeemed

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 29.-The
Secretary OF the Treasury is in receipt
OF information from the United States
Minister at Toxic, Japan. that during
the present session of the Japanese Diet
a Government coinage bill will be pre-
sented for the consid GRAFTON of that
body. which will, if passed, change the
standard of value in Japan from silver
to gold. 1t is proposed to TX the Govern
ment parity, or ratio, between the two
metals at 80 to 1. The unit OF value will
be a gold yen, which will be one half the
weight and value OF the old Japanese gold
yen, which is of the same weight and fne-
ness as the gold dollar of the United States.
The proposed unit of value will there
fore be the exact equivalent OF so cents
in the United States, and approximately
OF the same value as the present unit OF
value in Japan, the silver yen, which at
the current rate of exchange is worth
about 81 cents in United States money.
1t is proposed that the smallest coin
minted shall be 5-yen piece. Further
coinage of silver will be limited to sub
sidiary coins. The silver yen now IN cir
cuIation will be maintained at par with
the gold ven, the Government being pre-
pared 10 redeem fhem In gold whenever
called upon to do so. 1t is important to
note thai there are about lao, COO, 900 of
Japanese silver yen in circula ton, of
which it is estimated that about 70, 600, COO
are in circulation as money in China and
the English, French and other colonies
and settlements in the East. SAould the
ratio between gold and silver become
greater than / 10 80 the tendency would
seem TO be to drive the outstanding silver
coin back TO Japan for redemption.
The vernacular press reports consider
able dissatisfaction among the manuiac-
turing and commercial classes upon the
proposed change of standard, and it is re-
ported that the Cotton spinners' Associa-
ton has prepared protest against it.
Those interested in manufactures in
Japan are at present very prosperous and
satisfied with The returns their invest
ments are bringing in. They are naturally
as a class not disposed to view iavorably a
proposed change, the effects OF which
upon their interests they have no means
of determining beforehand. Ii is generally
believed, however. that the Government
bill will in a perhaps modified form be-
come a law. 1t Is supposed that the prin-
cipal object the Government has in view
in bringing about the change is to enable
it, should such n measure become neces-
sary or expedient, TO nego late a loan in
Europe on better terms than would be
possible, as they believe, if Japan re-
mained on silver basis.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March ga
story published in New York paper to-.
day stated that suit had been brought In
the New York Supreme Court by Madge
Dean, an actress in Hoyt's "a Trip to
Chinatown" company. to recover $25. 5.O0O
damages against Frank Wilson Brown OF
Washington, d. Z.
The story as published alleges that
"Miss Dean alleges in her complaint that
she was married to Mr.. Brown on August
Is, 1894, in Wilmington, Del. She says ne
had traudulently represented hlmseli as
single. but she has since learned that ne
had wife, Mrs. Susan Dawson Brown,
and that he is the father of girl OF ~
who is living. with her mother in the Ma
tional capital"
Commenting on this story the Washing
ton Star says: Frank Wilson Brown is
well-known in this city. He was born
here about thirty years ago. Inc state
ment that his daughter is about 70 years OF
age IS. therefore, an error, as is also the
statement that he is possessed OF large
fortune.
HE left Washington about year ago
under cloud, and It was then under
stood that he was in London repre-
senting business syndicate OF some
sort. 1t was commonly rumorcG
then that he was accompanied
by young woman who had made some
thing OF a success as an actress. He was
married some years ago to an estlmable
young woman of this city and for time
they lived most happily together. They
have one child"

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March 29.-For
the first time since July ?, when he was
sentenced to be hanged ior the murder of
Actress Madge Yorke, or Margaret W.
Drysdale. as she was known off the stage.
James B. Gentry was allowed on Saturday
to see and talk to his counsel, George +.
Muncie. Since The hanging of Holmes
the authorities have rigidly enforced an
old law which prohibits prisoners con.
demned to death from receiving any
visitors, even legal and spiritual being
excluded.
A bill has just been passed by the Legis.
lature, and on Friday. was signed by the
Governor, repeating the old law and per-
m tting condemned murderers to receive
visits from their lawyers, family and any
minister whom they may designate.
LAWYER Muncie on this authority pre-
sented himself at the prison and was ad-
mitted to see his client. Gentry was very
glad to see his counsel and they held a
long consultation over the possibilities
of securing cemency for the condemned
actor.
Muncie said Gentry was very weak and
low spirited and that he brooded con.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 29-Ex-
Attorney General W. II. H. Hart of Cali
fornia is in the city. He filed in the
United States Supreme Court to-day a
N otion TO dismiss the appeal of the con-
testants in the case of Florence BIytne-
Hinckley. Mr.. Hart claims that the State
OF California has the right to dispose of
property to an alien under the Californian
statute. thus taking issue with Jefferson
Chandler, who claims that Federal au-
thority must be invoked. 1t was learned
tonight tv The CALL correspondent that
in addition to legal business in Washing
ton, General Hart while here. will feel The
pulse of the administration and see what
his chances are to be appointed an as
sistant attorney general.
The friends of Professor George w. Da-
wilson, and especially Senator Perkins,
are very hopeful that he may be ap-
pointed Superintendent of the Coast and

The Georgians are very emphatic to-day
in asseverating their belief that National
Conn miltee man Buck of that State will be
appointed Minister to Japan, thus dispos-
ing Of the prospects of Frank COON bs of

neither of these ex- office olders will be

special from Washington says: 1t is not
at all settled that ex- Represe ntative Pick
ler is to be Commissioner of Inuian
Affairs. Two more formidable candidates
are yet to be pacitied. Needles of Illinois
and Elliott of the District of Columbia.
When II. Clay Evans accepted the Com
missionership of Pensions it was thought
certain that Major Picker would be Indian
Commissioner. The friends of the other
two candidates, however, could not see
things this way. They contended that
Picker had never been candidate for In
dian Commissioner and had just cast his
eyes in the direction of that place after
SEEING that every thing else in sight was
spoken for.
Senator Kyle of South Dakota, who owes
his election to Picker, is doing all be can
to have MIN placed, while both the Illinois

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 29.-Quite a
fight is on for the Consulship to Calcutta,
an Office which pays $4,000 per annum.
The two prominent candidates are Ten
nessoeans, and on account of the bitter
rivalry between the two 1t is possible that
the State will lose the place.
The present Consul to Calcutta is
Tennessee man. James F. Rule OF Knox
vile i backed by Representatives Gibson
and Brownlow, while Herman Haslook of
Nashville has the Endorsement OF Senator
Hanna. Haslook has been a delegate to
several National Republican conventions
and has always voted for Sherman. Sec
retary Sherman has intlmaied that in
view of the fight Tennessee would lose
the place. and at the same time be ad.
vised Hasiook to put in a claim for some
thing else in the diplomatic service.
/, is semi-offically announced that the
name of w. w. Thomas of Maine will be
sent to the Senate early this week for
Minister to Norway and Sweden. Quite a
hot fight has bean urged for this diplo-
matte post, but it is now believed to have
been settled.
The fight has narrowed down between
Senator Ericsson of Connecticut and Mr..
Thomas. Ericsson is backei by a ma jor-
,ty of the Swedes of the Northwest, while
Thomas is indorsed by the Swedish popu-
lation in the East in great mum bers The
fact tn lat Thomas married q Swedish lady
has materially help his canvass.
Ex-Representatv We Keifer of Minnesota
will probably succeed Herman Stump of
Maryland as Commissioner of Imm gra-
tion. Keifer has strong Endorsements and
is the only candidate seriously considered.

go to the Senate this week.
