TELLS THEM THEIR DUTY
GROVER CLEVELAND GIVES ADVICE
TO DEMOCRATS.
Must Cease Running After Strange
Gods and Return to First
Principles.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 1.-THE Atlanta
Journal this afternoon publishes an
interview with former President
Cleveland obtained by staff CORES
pondent at Princeton, N. j. Cleve-
land is quoted as follows:
"In my opinion, the great need of
the democratic party is to return to
first principles. The democratic party
has not been fatally disorganized, but
it sadly needs rehabilitation on purely
democratic lines.
What is the matter with the party
It has 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 see it, it is the duty
of democrats everywhere to aid in the
rehabilitation of the party. There
are some signs Of insistance upon the
necessity of return to democratic
doctrines in the south, but they are
not SO general as I would like to see. "
What of the future?'' was asked.
"By sincere return to it's old time
DOCTRINES" Cleveland replied, "old
time victories of the democratic party
will certainly be won. -

past have been bitterly opposed to
each other in industrial contests, filed

the conference on conciliation and ar
bitration which began here today.
Both the day and night sessions were
taken up with papers read by repre-
sentatives Of capital and labor, look
ing to the same end-a cure for strikes.
From the tone of the addresses it
seemed plainly evident that both sides
were vigorously opposed to compulsory
arbitration and il recommendation
on the subject of national board re-
suits from the present gathering, the
recommendation will in all probability
specify that all the boards work shall
be along the line of voluntary arbitra-
tion.

had been ordered out by Governor
Mount, arrived at Bonneville i 5 min

Rolla met their gaze as they marched

The citizens of Rocpkort held a
meeting tonight and formed an organi-
zation for the purpose of maintaining
law and order and assisting the officers
in the prosecution Of criminals. It
was also resolved to make an effort to
take municipal affairs out Of politics.
While the lynching was only Incl
dentally discussed, the general senti-
ment Of the community upholds the
action Of the mob in taking affairs in
their own hands. There is no purpose
to prosecute anyone concerned in the
lynohing. Everything was quiet in
Rockport tonight.

TRIBUTE TO BOurELLE.
Placed Upon Retired List az Naval
Captain.

Washington, Dec. 17-Under q sus-
pension Of the rules today the house
passed bills to divide West Virginia
and Kentucky into two judicial dis
tricts: to create another district Judge
in the northern district of Ohio and
to refer to the secretary of the interior
the claims of the state of Texas for
moneys spent on public improvements
in Greer county, before decision Of
the court put it within the jurisdic-
tion of Oklahoma.
An attempt was made to pass the
bill to give soldiers and sailora Of the
civil war, Spanish war, and the war
in the Philippines preference to the
appointment to positions in various
departments of the government, but
it was opposed on the ground that it
would shut out from appointment for
years to come all civilians to positions
under the government, and it was
overwhelmingly defeated.
One hundred and two private pen
sion bills were passed

sign. The con iition Of the Maine
man was vel known to the repre-
sentatives, and although some of them
were inclined to protest against the
proposed legislation as establishing
dangerous precedent, no objection was
made and the bill was passed.

PECULIAR LAW POINT.
Brought to Federal Supreme Court
From Idaho.

Washington, Dec. ia peculiar
question arose in the United States
supreme court today in case from
Idaho on an application for habeas
corpus by "Jack' Davis, under sent
ence of execution. The point was
made that he was convicted, and sent
enced to be hanged by the sheriff.
Subsequently the law placed hangings
in charge of the warden of the state
penitentiary.
1t was contended that the old law
was repealed and the new law inappli-
cable, being expost facto. Justice
Brown remarked that it would make
little difference to the accused who ex-
ecuted him and the decision of the
state court was affirmed, giving the
sheriff custody of the prisoner.

PRESENTS RESOLUTION TO IN

LIST OF INTERROcATOR|Es
Six Questions Submitted As Basis
Of Investigation by Senate
Judiciary Committee.

Washington, Dec. lin view Of
the wide publicity of the charges
against the administration of the
United States district court of Alaska,
and especially Of the mining laws at
Cape Nome, Alaska, Carter, Of Mon
tana, today introduced resolution in
the senate directing the committee on
judiciary to investigate the whole
question.
BY the resolution the committee is
directed specifically to investigate the
conduct of the Judge Of that division
of the district court Of Alaska, located
at St. Michaels, and to report to the
senate the names of all persons con-
nected with litigation before that
court concerning whom any improper
influence or illegal conduct has been
or may be charged.
Carter's resolution covers the same
ground as was covered by the resolu-
tion introduced in the house last week
by Brick of Indiana, but is much more
elaborate and specific in its directions
for investigation. Substantially the
resolution is as follows.
Whereas, it has been charged
through the press that Judge Arthur
H. Noyes Of the district court of
Alaska, having jurisdiction over the
Cape Nome district, has been guilty of
illegal or improper conduct in connec-
tion with litigation pending in his
court, and,
Whereas, it is further charged that
such alleged illegal action or improper
conduct resulted from conspiracy in
which many persons we're concerned ;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the judiciary COM
mittee of the senate be directed to in
vestigate and report to the senate the
facts found in response to the follow
ing interrogatories:
First: Are the general mining
laws of the United States applicable
to the district of Alaska?
Second: Has Judge Noyes been
guilty of any illegal or improper con-
duct in connection with any litigation
proceeding before his court?
Third: Whether any senator or
representative in congress or any Off
Ger of the federal government ever
possessed any interest in any property
which had been the subject of litiga-
tion in said court and whether any
such person has had any interest in
the result of such litigations; and if
so, the name and position Of such
person and nature Of his interest.
Fourth: What, if any, effort has
been made by any party improperly
or illegally to influence the Judgment
of the court or any officer thereof.
Fifth: What, if any, sums Of
money have been expended by any
body to circulate statements rejecting
upon the honor and integrity of the
court or any officer thereof, and by
whom such expenditures were made.
Sixth: The facts connected with
and inducements offered to Judge
Johnston, predecessor of said Judge
Noyes, to procure him to resign his
position on the bench and to become
connected with litigation pending in
the court at the time of his resigna-
tion, or thereafter commenced.
The committee is directed to inquire
fully into all charges affecting the in
tegrity of Judge Noyes or his court
or any officer connected with litiga-
tion proceeding before the court.
