CLETELAND ON DEMOCRACY.
A Return to First Principles and Re-
 mobilization Needed.

Atlanta Ga, Dec 1.-The Atlanta Journal this afternoon publishes an in- terview with former President Cleve- land obtained by staff correspondent at Princeton, N. J. MT. Cleveland is quoted as follows:
 "In my opinion the great need of the democratic party is a return to first principles. The democratic party has not been fatally disorganized, but it sadly needs rehab Utilization on purely democratic lines. What is the matter with the party? It has in my humble judgment simply wandered off after strange gods. A large mass of demo- cratic voters saw this before the last election. They remained quiet, but when the time came to vote they said This is not. democracy and refused to support it.
 As I see it, it is the duty of demo- crats everywhere to aid in the rehabili- tatlon of the party. There are some signs of an insistance upon the neces- sity of q return to democratic doctrines in the south, but they are not so gen. eral as I would like to sec"
 What of the future?" was asked. with a sincere return to it's old time doctrines,' MT. Cleveland replied, "the old time victories of the democratic party will certainly be won"

 One hundred and two private pension bills were passed. Just before the house adjourned a fine tribute was paid to Representative Charles A. Boutelle ol Meiite, WHO served SlSnleen years Tn congress, and who has been reelected to the Fifty-seventh congress. Mir. Lit tlef1eld of Maine asked unanimous con- sent for the consideration of a bill to place him on the retired list as a cap tain in the navy, MT. Boutelle having been captain in the navy during the civil war. MT. Littlefeld stated that MT. Boutelle's condition was such that he undoubtedly would resign. The condition of the Maine representative was we'll known to representatives, no objection was made and the bill was passed, however, notwithstanding the fact that many members considered it a bad precedent to establish.

Later the Churchills dined together, and this evening the author heard the warrior deliver his lecture in Fremont Temple.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
COULD TR US1,EES ANSWER.
Defense in Injunction Regarding Pay- meMt of Income to Castellanes.

New York, Dec. 17.-An answer was made to-day by Judge Dittman in the injunction case against the trustees of the Gould estate to restrain them from continuing to pay the Countess and Count Boni de Castellane the income of the countess from the estate of Jay Gould.
 The defendants allege that the su- preme court of this state has no juris- diction for the person of the Count de Castellane or Anna Gould, Countess de Castellane, the alleged debtors; that the court is therefore Withou jurisdic- ton to decide the question how much of the income is necessary to the prop CT support and maintenance of the Countess de Castellane.
 The defendants also allege that the plaintiff is not the real party in inter- est and that at the time of alleged as- signnlent and transfer to said plaintiff Asher Wertheimer, plaintiffs alleged asSignor, was not the owner or holder of the said drafts and acceptances, or claims or causes of action, but had sold them to Julius Cohen & Co, bankers of London
 
 The defendants further claim that the alleged indebtedness is for merchan- disc sold to Boni de Castellane and not to the countess, and that by the law of France, where said drafts were &C., cepted and payable, and also by the terms of certain antinuptial agreement the countess is not liable for the debts of her husband. The defendants say that previous action in the same case was begun in France and that the pres ent suit should not hold
 The injunction proceedings in the case was called before Judge Blanch- ard to-day. Charles A. Gardiner and E. c. James appeared for the Gould trustees and Samuel Untermier for the plaintiff. On the request of Mr. James the case went over till Thursday. Mr. Untermier asked that the agreement made by Justice Leventritt that the al- lowance of the Castellanes of s25O, 900 a year should continue for the present and this was agreed to.

STATUS OF NEW ISLANDS.
Arguments Begun Before United States
 Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The case of
 John H. Goetz vs the United States, in- yolving the status of Porto Rico, was taken up in the United States supreme
 court to-day at 3:30 D. m. Attorney
 General Griggs was present in behalf of
 the government and a number of prom
 inent attorneys, including Former Sec
 retary Carlisle, were interested listen
 CTS.
 Edward c. Perkins, of counsel for
 Goetz, asked that the Porto Rico case, and that involving the status of the
 Philippines be combined The attorney general assented to this and it was ar- ranged that each side should have five
 hours. The opening argument in behalf of Goetz was then begun by Everit Brown, of counsel for appellant. It was on his insistance that three of the cases were to-day advanced. Two of the cases so advanced are in the name of Dooley, Smith & Co In one case the citation is brought to recover money extracted from them at Porto Rico as customs duties upon merchandise taken from New York and Porto Rico between the date of the ratification of the Paris treaty and the date of the enactment of the Porto Rican civil government act. In the other case the duties were col lected after the Porto Rican law was enacted.
 A third case is that of Carlos S. Arm- strong and involving the general ques- ton, and still another that of Samuel Downs. MT. Brown said the main con- tentions were that Porto Rico was not a foreign country as contemplated by the tariff act, and that Porto Rico was within the United States so that an im- post duty against the goods of Porto Rico would be in violation of the con- stitutional provision that all duties, i1nposts and excises shall be uniform the United States
 MT. Perkins, who followed took up more particularly the constitutional phases of the case. He maintained that the constitution was in effect a power of attorney and the question was as to what were, those powers and said if the tariff act imposes a duty or tax upon goods brought from Porto Rico to a place elsewhere in the United States af- ter the annexation, the imposition is void as being in conflict with an ex- press provision of the constitution. When the treaty of Paris took effect Porto Rico ceased to be foreign coun- try within the meaning of those words as used in the tariff act. MT. Perkins was in progress when at 4:30 D. m. the court adjourned until tomorrow.

BOSTON,s CUP DEFENDER.
Contract Signed for the Building of the
 Boat.

Boat.
 Boston, Dec. 17.--All doubt regarding the building of the Boston cup defender has now been dispelled. Yesterday forenoon George Lawley, president of the corporation of the same name, signed the contract with Thomas w. Lawson, the builder of the boat There was a meeting in Mr Lawson's pri- vate office. at which T. W. Lawson, George F. Lawley, B. B. Crowninshield and c. c. Clapp were present. The specifications were carefully gone over and after due consideration MT. Law son and MT. Lawley affixed their sig natures to the all-important document. There is now not the slightest doubt that the new yacht will be built at the Atlantic yards in East Boston and it is expected that work will be begun on her before the end of the month. It will be necessary to begin the work as soon as possible so that the boat will be in the water in time to have a good tuning up before the racing season is well on. There is no reason why the Boston boat should not be in the water as soon as the one being turned out at Herreshoff's.\ Nothing has been verified as to the name which the Bos- ton boat will have. MT. Lawson has said that the naming of the boat was one of the few things over which he would exercise control.

 Bonneville Ind, Dec. 17.-John Rolla, the third of the colored men implicated hung to tree in the courthouse yard by mob of about one hundred men from Rockport this evening. Two of his companions were lynched at Rock port last night for the same crime. Not a shot was fired and everything was conducted as quietly as if the execu- tion bad been one under the sanction of the law.
 Rolla was brought to this place this afternoon about 8 o'clock. Upon his arrival he was placed in cell on the second floor of the jail. A few minutes after o'clock a body of one hundred men marched through the principal street to the jail and demanded the prisoner. Deputy Sheriff Raymond, in charge of the jail, declined to give up the keys and the mob at once began to batter down the walls of the jail. This done, six members of the mob with ,sledge hammers broke down the door of Rolla's cell and left, dragging the. negro after them.
 A few minutes were consumed in the march to the courtyard, the rope was thrown over limb of a tree and the negro's body drawn into the air. The loose end of the rope was tied to tree, and as soon as the mob was sure that it's work had been completed left in an orderly manner. None of the mob wore masks. Except for the excited groups of men standing on the street corners, a stranger would have known nothing of the tragedy that had just been en- acted.
 Owensboro, Ky, Dec. 1.-The militia from Evansville arrived at Bonneville fifteen minutes too late, and the dead body of Rolla met their gaze as they marched into town. The citizens of Rockport tonight formed an organiza- tion for the purpose of maintaining law and order, and assisting the officers in the prosecution of criminals. The gen. eral sentiment of the community up- holds the action of the mob. There is no purpose to prosecute any one con- cerned
 Evansville, Ind, Dec. 17.--Orders have just been received from Governor Mount instructing the officers of the To- cal milintary company to assemble their men at once and repair as soon as possible to Bonneville to protect two ne- gro suspects removed to that place from Rockport late tonight.
