Make a Test Case of 1t.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The hear
ing of the application of John G. Woods
for an injunction to prevent his reduc-
ton from superintendent of Mails at
Louisville to a clerkship in the Rail-
way Mail Service was postponed to-day
until next Saturday.
Mr.. Woods was represented by H. n.
Low, and the Government by Assistant
Attorneys Garrett and Sims Mr. Low
resisted the motion to postpone, but
Judge Cox said the case was one of
such vast Importance that the Govern
ment was entitled to all the time neces-
sary for it's proper preparation.
The court gave Mr.. Woods leave to
file All amended petition. In this he
takes the position that his removal
from office is the result of his political
convictions. He quotes the amend
ments to the Civil Service regulations
made by President Cleveland, provid-
ing that any person to be removed shall
have full notice and opportunity for
defense, and asserts that there are no
charges on file against him.
1t is understood that whatever the
decision in the case may be, it will be
Appealed to the United States Supreme
Court. The Department of Justice will
make .. test case of it, and 1t is under
stood will argue at length at the hear
ing next Saturday.

SECTION TWENTY
CHANDLER ADEERES TO HIS
FORMER STATEMENTS.
Insists That the Clause Was Sur
reptitiously Inserted in the
New Tariff Bill.

BOSTON, Sept 4.-Senator Chandler
of New Hampshire, who a few days
ago started a discussion by stating that
the discriminating clause of Section %
of the Dingley tariff bill was passed by
a trick of legislation" in the Her
ald'' to-day replies to Senator Frye,
who a few days ago declared that he
could not tell how the amendment was
passed.
Senator Frye is good and conclu-
sive witness that what I say is true"
said Senator Chandler. Il quote Sena-
tor Fryes own words. How this
amendment was secured l know not
Senator Frye seems to mean that
he did not know until after the confer
ence report was adopted in July 9TH
that the trick clause was in it. II
that is what he does mean, then he
certainly was tricked because his re-
lation to the whole subject as Chair
man of the Committee on Commerce
made it impossible for him not to know
that it was done unless it was done sur
reptitiously to him and to all members
of the committee, except the few con-
trivers of the trick. If. on the other
hand, Senator Frye did know before
did not know how it was done, after
he had failed in his open plan, he omit
ted for the whole week of debate over
the conference report in the Senate to
tell his New England constituents that
the conferrees had struck this blow at
New England interests.
"As Senator Frye says, the conferrees
are all honorable men. Of course they
had the necessary explanatory state
ment written, and it was left by the
'blunder of a clerk That is always the
safest ground to take in such cases
But whether legislation thus OBJ
tanned will stay even nominally upon
the statute book is doubtful. More
over, whether the Attorney General
will find that the trick of legislation
must be enforced until repealed is not
yet settled 1t should not take him
fifteen minutes to hold that the con-
tiguous country clause applies only
where there is no treaty allowing goods
to come in without extra duties from
ships entering our ports, while. If con-
ventions are necessary to avoid the
effect of the other part of the trick it
should not take Secretary Sherman fif-
teen minutes to make the England,
France and Germany collection of dis
eliminating duties await the delib-
crate action of Congress-.

COLORADO MINE ACCIDENT.
Bodies of Dead Taken to Glenwood
Springs for Burial

GLENWOOD SPRINGS (Col). Sept.
4.-The bodies of the twelve miners
killed by the coal dust explosion in
the Sunshine Mine sixteen miles south
east of this city, were brought to this
city to-day and prepared for burial.
Coroner Clark empanelled a jury which
viewed the remains.
The force of the explosion has COM
pletely crushed each bone in the twelve
bodies, so that the remains were mere
" mass Of flesh and bones, and as
easily rolled into knot as though COM
posed of yarn, Three of the dead min
ers, Louis and John Andvette and John
Joeini, leave families.
This mine is the oldest of the Spring
Gulch group. Two entries below the
one in which the accident occurred
have been worked out These two
covered a distance of 600 feet above
the level of the creek. The slope which
proved the death trap of the twelve
men is usually the working place of
forty toilers. Yesterday the main force
were employed go feet above the lev
el, where the explosion occurred The
explosion broke away the stoppage
from the lower worked-out slopes and
the two working Slopes were at once
filled with a deadly black damp.
An idea of the force of the explosion
can be had when it is seen that the
timbers, many twenty-five inches in di-
ameter, were twisted and broken as
though mere pipe stems. The local
superintendent, Ben Davis, now is
dangerously i'll from the effects of the
black damp breathed while bringing
out the dead bodies.

GENERAL LEE COMING HOME.
THE CONSUL AT HAVANA SAILS
FOR NEW YORK.
Probable That He Will Not Return
to the Capital of the
Cuban Island.

HAVANA, Sept 4-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, the United States Consul
General, accompanied by his son and
Private Secretary, embarked this after
noon aboard the Ward Line steamer
Seagurna bound for New York. When
questioned as to his apparently sudden
departure from Cuba, General Lee said
his leaving Havana had no significance,
as he was simply availing himself of a
leave of absence granted to him by
the State Department.
Previous to leaving this city, Cen
eral Lee called upon and bade farewell
to Captain General Weyler and the
Marquis Ahumada, the Governor of
Havana and Acting Captain General
when Weyler is absent from Havana
MAY NOT RETURN TO HAVANA.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-No official
information could be obtained here re-
garding the return of General Lee. but
it is understood that he has been grant
ed a leave of absence, with permission
to return to this country. The busi-
ness of the consulate will be in charge
of the Vice-Consul-G General during his
absence
1t is quite probable that General Lee
will not return to Havana. 1t will be
remembered that when the new admin
istration came into power General Lee
and other officials holding like posi-
tions rendered their designations The
publication of Lees resignation caused
a great deal of criticism of General Lee
in the Spanish and Havana newspapers.
and intimations were made that Cen
eral Lee was to be superseded because
he was unsatisfactory to the new ad-
ministration. It was also said that
when these reports reached General
Lee he informed the department that
while he was anxious to be relieved
he did not want to retire under fire
The course pursued by the administra-
tion in not naming his successor leaves
no ground for the intimation that there
was dissatisfaction with him officially
and he can now retire with dignity
SUCCESSFUL FILIBUSTERS.
HAVANA. Sept. Reliable infor-
nation has been received to the effect

and stores for the rebels was met by a
large party of insurgents, and it is be-
lieved that the munitions were safely
transported TO rebel camp in spite of

ARGENTINA OFFENDED.
THE NEW TARIFF BILL NOT TO
HER LIKING.
A Measure Sent to Congress Ask
ing Retaliation Against the
United States.

NEW YORK, Sept. "A special to
the Herald" from Buenos Ayres, Ar
gentine, says: President Urbuyeau has
sent message to Congress in which
he advocates, as a measure of retalia-
tion against the United States, in
creased duties on articles imported in
large quantities from that country
In his message the President specifies
particularly as articles on which the
duties should be largely increased, pc
troleum, timber, plows and all agri-
cultural implements and machinery,
which are imported largely from the
United States. Higher duties, the Pres
ident explains, should be imposed be-
cause of the recent difficulties which
the Dingley tariff has thrown in the
way CT expectation from this country
to the United States.
President Urbuyeau contends that
the policy of Argentina towards all
countries which export to Argentina
has always been fair and just as
proven when the Wilson law in the
United States accorded great liberality
to Argentina, and in return this coun-
try made sweeping reductions in the
duties on timber and petroleum import
ed from the United States.
The proposed increase in duties ad-
vocated by President Urbuyeau will
am punt to $500, 900 in gold. The Presi-
dent hopes that special conventions can
be negotiated with the United States
and other countries providing for great
er ,iberality to Argentina products be-
fore IT will be necessary to enforce the
increased duties if they should become
law
The scheme on which the special con-
ventions proposed by the President will
be based is as follows
First-A maximum tariff. This will
be an increase of duties of so per cent
and VII be applied to those countries
which levy high duties on imports from
Argentina A minimum tariff will pro-
vide for the importation of foreign
products Another tariff will provide
for a big reduction of duties on imports
from those countries offering similar
reductions to Argentina products In
other words, a reciprocal tariff.
