Report of Sensational Dispatch to

THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD
JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG'S HOPES FOR
THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
The New Librarian Has Received His
urday-Other Washington News.

LONDON, July 5-The Washington cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle asserts
that official correspondence is about to be
submitted to Congress which includes a dis
patch sent by Secretary Sherman to EN-
bassador Hay, dated May TO- for submits
sion to Lord Salisbury insinuating that
England has been guilty of bad faith in
carrying out the terms of the Paris seal
award. The correspondent says: There
is no doubt that the publication of this dis
patch will cause resentment in England.
1t was really the work of Mr.. Foster and
Mr. Hamlin jointly. L learn that the adj
ministration is very proud of the dispatch
and believes it will be received in the
United States with the same popular ap-
proyal as greeted Mr.. Omey's Venezuela
dispatch. Lord Salisbury has not yet re-
piled.

attempt to show them the manufacturing
resources of the United States comes at
the very moment when a new tariff deteri-
mental to international trade is in the very
process OF completion. Their complaints
however, would hardly bear close investi-
cation. The fact is that we purchase about
three times as large a value of goods from
South America as we sell in return. With
exceptions hardly worth mentioning, the
whole volume of our imports from South
America has been admitted free of all duty.
while our products cannot get into the
Latin-American countries without sur
mounting high tariff walls. The Dingley
bill proposes to put something of a tax on
South American hides it is true; but this
will involve small hardship to our South
American friends, and it Will still remain
true, when the new measure is completed
that our tariff arrangements are most ex-
traordinarily favorable to the Latin-Ameri-
can countries, and comparatively adverse
to our best customers, the Europeans. OF
course, the simple fact is that we inn
port enormous quantities of crude ma
terials from South America which have not
entered into destructive competition with
materials produced in our own country. II
the tariff wall that we present toward Eu-
rope is steep and high, the reason is also
obvious. The things Europe wishes to
sell us enter into direct competition with
the manufactures which, most people think
it is good policy to produce abundanuy in
our own mills and factories.

Allen, but that Republican senators will be
left free to support it or not as they may
see fit. The indications now are that a
majority or them viii support the amend
ment Notwithstanding the committees ac-
ton in Withdrawing il. 1t appears that the
bounty provision was authorized by one OF
the Republican caucuses and that many
Republican senators feel bound on this ac-
count TO stand by the provision, even
though it be offered by the opposition. The
Democrats however, will oppose the
full of many possibilities, and the end cam
not be predicted until this question is set
tied.
The outlook for the week in the Senate
is quite uncertain. There is every proba-
bility that the tariff bill will be passed, but
whether early or late in the week is by no
means certain. The various provisions for
q stamp tax, for a beet sugar bounty and
for the suppression of trusts threaten to
develop considerable debate, and there is a
prospect of general speeches by Senators
Bate, Mills, Chiffon, Allen and others. Sena-
tor Allison has given notice of an effort
to secure night sessions Monday and Tues
day. The present indications are that there
will be a determined effort to force the
committee on finance to restore the sugar
bounty provision. and upon the success or
failure of this effort probably will largely
depend the length of time yet to be con-
sumed in the Senate When the tariff bill
programme is to send it Immediately to con-
ference. The minority will make no opposi-
ton TO this if the Republicans will assure
them reasonable time" for debate when
the bill is reported back by the conferees.
To this the Republican leaders express their
assent though no determination has yet
been made of how long a reasonable time
is. Mr.. Bailey thinks three or four days
will be sufficient. In view of the fact that
the bill may return to the House any day
the order for sessions only on Mondays and
Thursdays will probably be revoked to-mOr-
row or recess will be taken from day to
day until the bill passes the Senate.

Penalties for Lynchers.
Law Notes.

Law NOTES.
The Constitution of Ohio provides that no
person who shall hereafter fight duel, as
sist in the same as second, or send, accept,
or knowingly carry a challenge therefor
shall hold any office in that State. Similar
provisions are found in the constitutions
and statutes of other States, particularly
in the Southern States. The Constitution
has, since the adoption of the Constitution,
fought a duel, etc, shall be allowed to Vot9
or hold any office of honor. profit. or trust;
and the code of Virginia provides that
every person who enters upon the dis
charge of any function as an officer of that
State shall take and subscribe an oath to
the effect that he has not fought q duel or
challenged any one to fight a duel, etc,
during his continuance in office. These
constitutional and statutory provisions
have been found to be very effective and
have contributed in no small degree to the
suppression of dueling; and attention is
called thereto because 1t is believed that
similar provisions should be adopted with
reference to lynching. 1t is submitted that
the Governors of the several States should
recommend TO their respective legislatures
amendments to the constitutions and stat
utes which will prevent any one from vot-
ing or holding Office who has participated
in lynching persons suspected of having
committed crimes. 1t suggested to
Governor CulberSon, of Texas, that such
provisions should be made, but we do not
know whether he ever made any recon-
mendations to the Legislature

A BucSetfuI of Diamonds.


Barnato made not one, but two immense
fortunes in two different ways. The first
was in the Kimberley diamond mines.
After accommodating a few thousands by
traffic in the precious stones in Kimberley
during two or three years. he began buying
the chief owner of the whole Kimberley
diamond district. His rival was the De
Beers Company, and it soon became a
question which would swallow the other.
Cecil Rhodes was at the head of the De
Beers syndicate. and for n long time there
bitter trade rivalry between the two.
Barnato himself was fond of telling a char
acterstic story about how Rhodes virtually
got the better of him in q. certain deal.
The De Beers mines had al one time an
enormous collection of stones, amounting,
it is stated to 100000 carats, and Barney

moment, and then replied: Yes. you can
have them on your own terms but on one

compromise most any way and turn the
property over to the Eastern investor. So
lenient have been the Western mortgage
companies and Eastern purchasers that in
the extreme southwest portion of the State
foreclosures were seldom made when tina
mortgageor resided upon the land and never
made when he was making an effort to pay
the debt. The writer knows of only one in
stance in one county where the mortgageor
was eusted, but that man let magnificent

that he might devote his undivided time
to the curbstone financial school, telling
loafers how the government should be run.

and pose as martyr among Weak-brained
hOwlers of calamity, but not among think

the West, as settlers OF a new country

THE NEW LIBRARIAN.
John Russell Young Has Mapped Out
n (SreRt Plan.


WASHINGTON, July 4-Mr. John Russell
Young the new librarian, filed his bond
received his commission and took office on
Saturday. In conversation with reporter
Mr.. Young said that he accepted the office
in the hope of making the library the
greatest in the world. The gov
eminent had built a palace, the finest Ii
brary building in existence, and the Ameri-
can people could easily make it the first
of all national libraries.
Mr. Young said that the President had
instructed him to make his appointments
slowly and with the utmost care; to con-
slider in each candidate nothing but special
fitness, to remember that the institution
was unique and technical, and that when
the appointments We're made the President
would cover them into the civil service. 1t
had given him the greatest pleasure, Mr..
Young remarked, to continue MIR. SpOHord.
He has known him intimately for many
years and realizes the value Of his expert
ence and ability. Mr.. Young added that
he had resolved on no other appointing nts
as yet. He had taken the office without
a promise or obligation of any kind. 1t
was not his intention TO make changes in
the present service except for cause.
