NEW YORK. Nov. 23-Mark Twain
made speech at the annual meeting of
the Public Education Association in Ber-
kelley Lyceum today that attracted notice.
He took up the Chinese troubles and said ::
Foreigners are the cause of all the
trouble there. The Chinese don't want
them any more than we want the Chin
csc. They have as much right as a ma
ton to exclude foreigners as we have TO
exclude them. China never wanted the
foreigners and il the foreigners were gone
the trouble would be all over
Now my sympathies are all with the
Boxers. The Boxers are the only ratri-
OTIS China has. The newspapers call them
hard names. but all they are after is to
get the foreigners out of their country.

doing so. II am opposed to the China
man being here, then 1 am a Boxer. and

MIR. BUTLER's REPORT.
Process of Reasoning of the Special
Master In Chancery.

Following is the full text of the finding
of Noble C. Butler. special master in chan
Gerry, made to the judges of the Superior
Court of Marion county:
This cause comes to me under an order
of reference from the Superior Court of
Marion county upon the complaint and
three paragraphs of the answer, which set
up the general denial, a former adjudica-
ton and the statute OF limitations as TO
so much of the complaint as seeks to re-
cover moneys claimed to be due prior to
Sept. 10, 1861, and a reply in two para
graphs. including general denial TO the
answer of the statute OF limitations and
special reply to the answer of former adj
Indication. The complaint is founded upon
a contract, which is claimed by the plain
tiff to exist under and by virtue OF Sec
tons % and % OF the special charter for
the Incorporation OF the defendant, which
was enacted by the General Assembly of
the State of Indiana, and approved on Jan.
%. ls41. and was duly accepted by the de-
PENDANT, and charges the defendant with
fraudulent acts and representations where
by the plaintiff has been misled and de-
frauded of its rights and a recovery upon
the contract has been delayed and pre-
vented. In brief, the contract which is
claimed 10 have its existence in these sec
tons is that the corporation. in consid-
Grafton of a grant OF exemption from the
legislative control of its tolls and freights
until the aggregate amount OF it's divi-
dends should equal TIE full sum invested in
its plant and property and 10 per cent per
annum on the same, promised to pay the
State on the happening Of that event and
thereafter total sum of money which is
estimated in the prayer of the complaint at
So 600 900. The provisions OF Sections p
and % are as follows:
Sec. p. The corporation may charge
and receive such tolls and freigh.s for the
transportation of persons, commodities and
carriages on said road. or any part there
of as shall be for the interest of said COM
pany, and to change, lower raise at
pleasure: Provided. That the rates es-
tablished from time TO time snail be posted
in some conspicuous place or places on
said road.
Sec. % That when the aggregate
amount of dividends declared shall amount
TO the full amount invested and 10 per cent
um per annum thereon. the Legislature
may so regulate the tolls and freights
that not more than Is per centum per an
mum shall be divided the capital en-
pioyed. and the surplus profits, II any. after
paying the expenses and reserying such
proportion may be necessary for future
| contingencies, shall be paid over to the
! treasurer of state for the use OF common
schools, but the corporation shall not be
compelled by law 10 reduce the tolls and
| freights so that dividend OF Is per centun
per annum cannot be made; and II shall

next question for present consideration is,
accordingly, the question whether the au-
thority which is conferred by Section -
and limited by Section % is an irrevocable
grant of the power to regulate tolls and
freights for an indefinite or any period OF
time by the State to the corporation. If
there be such grant it must be found
in Section p. for Section % is nothing more
than limitation upon the preceding grant,
and that is evidently the theory of the
complaint, as appears from the following
allegation, namely: by said charter said
corporation was given the right to charge
and receive such tolls and frefghtS for the
transportation of persons, commodities
etc, on said road might be deemed for
the best interests OF the company, and to
change and lower them at pleasure, except
only as TO the provision i'm Section % of
said charter reserving power in the Gen.
eral Assembly 10 regulate such tolls. ETC.
I'm other words. the provisions of Section
y must be regarded as an absolute grant
OF the power 10 regulate tolls and freights
which is limited as TO the duration and
extent os the same by the provisions of
Section q, which are in the nature of u
Section % are, in that view OF the case,
technically and strictly a condition subse-
quent. instead of limitation. for. by their
very terms, the happening of the condi-
ton does not of itself extingulsh the right
OF the corporation under the grant but
simply makes il possible for the State TO
put an emu 10 tnat rl2nt ana resume It's
own right OF regulating tolls and freights
on the happening of the condition or at any
time afterwards. II such a grant cannot
be found in the words OF authority I'm Sec
ton p ii will hardly be discoverable in
the words of condition or limitation in
Section %. But the provisions of Section y
