Of this late day in the cam
IL paign rumOrs have reached
ii us that Frank A. Cady,
candidate for member of
assembly on the republican
ticket, if elected, would favor
division of Wood county. To
our own knowledge. Mr.. Cady
has repeatedly stated in public
meetings within the last few
weeks, that in case of his cleo
tion, he would not represent only
a portion but the whole people
of the county. The question of
dividing the county is dead.
The rumor is simply intended to
create prejudice. Let no one
who otherwise would vote for
Mr.. Cady be misled by this
scare crow.

MAY LOSE MILLIONS.
By Word Being Omitted in Gov
ernment Treaty With France.


New York, May 21.-A decision
just rendered by Judge Townsend, who
is hearing in the United States circuit
court the appeals from the decision of
the board of general appraisers, under
the customs administration act, lessons
the duties on French brandies and
liquors 80 cents gallon, and in the
particular suit which was brought by
George s. Nicholas, an importer, takes
$45, ZOO out of the treasury of the gov
ernment.
Nicholas, on June 10, 1898, received
from France 10000 gallons of the cor
dial known as "Chartreuse. Col
lector Bidwe1 assessed the duty on
this importation at $2.25 per gallon.
The importer appealed to the board of
general appraisers, and they affirmed
the collectors action. Then the mat
ter was brought into the circuit court
and, when the hearing came up, coun-
sci for Nicholas insisted that under the
new treaty with France, made in
1898, year later than the passage of
the tariff under which the appraise-
ment had been made, the duty should
have been only $1.75 per gallon.
Copies of the treaties made between
France and the United States were pro :
duced as evidence, and in the French
copy the word '1iquers' appears,
while from the American copy the
word 'liquors" is missing. This deci-
sion is in favor of the importers, and if
it holds, means loss of many million
dollars to the government annually.

QUARANTINE is IN FORC
Chinese Passengers to Be Detained at
Astoria.

ASTORIA
Astoria, May 22.-For the first time
in the history of this port quarantine
has been established here against ves-
sells arriving from San Francisco. This
relates particularly to Chinese passen-
gers, as thus far all others have been
allowed to pass. Both State Health
Officer Fulton and Quarantine Officer
Hastings have received official notifica-
tion of the existence of the plague at
the bay city, and, while the latter has
received no instructions from the de-
partment to establish an Interstate
quarantine he deems strict precautions
necessary to guard against the possible
Introduction of the disease here, and,
together with the state health officer,
will inspect all incoming vessels from
that port and isolate all the Chinsese
passengers.
The first vessel affected by the new
regulations was the o. r. & N. steamer
Columbia, which arrived here this
morning. She was detained in the
quarantine grounds until a thorough
inspection was made and then allowed
to come to the dock. Two Chinese
passengers were, however, taken to the
government quarantine station, where
their baggage will be fumigated, and
they will be held for about 10 days.

Washington. May 23.-The United

that the Kentucky governorship case in
favor of Governor Beckham, dismissing
the writ of error from the Kentucky
court of appeals. The opinion was
handed down by Chief Justice Fuller.
and vigorous dissenting opinion was
delivered by Justice Harlan. Justices
Brewer, Brown and McKenna also dis
sented from portions of the opinion.
The case was dismissed from want
of jurisdiction, it being held that de-
termination of cases of this character
and all contests for state officers must
necessarily be settled by the political
branch of the government. That
branch had acted in the Kentucky case
when the general assembly took juris-
diction. There was no appeal from the
assembly g decision, which was favor
able to Goebel and Beckham, except to
the tribunal of the people, which tri.
bunal, the chief justice said, was
always in session. He also said the
case was purely state case-that Ken.

ties, as a member of the union, and

group east Of Luzon, is circulating in
Manila. 1t says the commission ap-
pointed by President Mckinley was
appointed without the authority of con-

ly. 1t urges the Filipinos not to sur
render their arms at the iastigation of
the commission and on promIses which
congress may not ratify, and also urges
the Filipinos to enthusiastically well
come the commission when it arrives in
the towns and provinces, asking boldly
for the form of government they most
desire, as the Americans permit of free. {.

closes with asking the Filipinos to
strive for liberty and independence and
again warns them against deception.

IS DENIED
Boer Delegates Will Not Be
Admitted to Senate Floor.
EFFORT TO BRING UP CANAL BILL
The House Passed the Eight-Hour Bill;
Also Bill Prohibiting Traffic in
Convict Made Goods.

Washington, May 23.-A pyrotechnio
discussion of the status of the Boer
commissioners now in Washington was
precipitated in the senate today by
resolution offered by Allen extending
to the commissioners the privileges of
the floor of the senate during their So
journ in the national capital. The
resolution was defeated by a vote of SO
to 81, but not until after q sharp con-
hoyersy between it's author and Davis,
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations. Allen maintained that the
resolution was in line with precedents,
while Davis contended that in the par
ticular circumstances the senate ought
not to take any action that might be
considered a recognition of the Boer
diplomats until the president. who
alone had the power to receive diplo-
matte Representatives. had taken action.
The postofice appropriation bill was
passed finally, the amendment to ap-
propriate 1925. 900 to carry out the ex-
listing contracts for the pneumatic tube
service being agreed to. An effort was
made by Morgan to displace the Spoon
er Philippine bill with the Nicaragua
canal bill, as the unfinished business,
but it failed by vote of 21 to 80.
The house today, under suspension
of the rules, passed two important bills
reported by the committee on labor
one to extend the eight-hour law to all
laborers employed under contract on
government work and the other to pro-
hibit interstate traffic in prison made
goods by bringing them under the jur-
isdiction of the police powers of the
state. The former bill is designed to
carry the law of 1892 to it's conclusion.
The convict labor bill caused some
sharp inquiries from members from
southern states, where prison labor is
employed in the fields and in the mines,
but upon assurances that it would not
interfere with the production of coal,
cotton or lumber. the opposition was
not pressed.
