GOES TO THE SUPREME COURT
The Validity of the Gaynors Indictment to be
Questioned.
l8y the Associated Pregs. }


New York, June S.-Abram j. Rose as
counsel for Captain Benjamin d. Greene.
John F., William T., and Edward n.
Gaynor, accused of conspiracy with form
er Captain Carter. U. S. A., to defraud
the Government in connection with South
ern harbor Improvements, made a move
today to question the validity OF the in
dctment before the United States Su-
preme court He did this by revoking
the bail bonds under which the four men
were held for their appearance to stand
trial in Savannah, Ga.
The men were surrendered to the GUS
tody of United States Marshal, but a few
minutes later they were taken before
Judge Lacombe on an application for a
writ of habeas corpus.
The application was denied by the
Judge, and Mr.. Rose took an appeal. The
bonds of the four defendants were then
renewed and they were at once released.
The matter will now be taken before
the United States Supreme court in
Washington, but cannot be argued before
fall, as the Supreme court does not meet
until October. The questions at issue are
the validity of the Indictment of the de-
PENDANTS by the United States grand jury
at Savannah, the drawing of that grand
jury and the question of jurisdiction.

MRS McKINLEY's ILLNESS.
The Doctors State That it is Blood Infection
Caused by Bone Felon.
lBy the Associated Press }

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Washington, June S--Mrs. McKin
ley's physicians We're in consultation
about two hours today and subsequent
ly a. very complete statement of the
true character of the illness from which
she has been suffering was issued.
Such a statement has been promised
from time to time and while in San
Francisco it was said that the President
desired a fuller announcement of the
nature of Mrs. Kinleys illness given to
the public. But for one reason or
another it has been withheld up to the
present time. The bulletin is as fol-
lows
Mrs McKinley's illness has been a
blood infection resulting from periosti-
It's of the index finger (bone felon),
which began in Los Angeles and which
was promptly treated by incision. The
subsequent condition of exhaustion was
due to the same blood infection asso-
ciated with a severe diarrhoea. She
improved, however, and was brought
home in comfort and without loss of
strength The principal cause of anX-
iety in her case since her arrival in
Washington has been an acute endocar
ditis inflammation of the lining mem
brane of the hearD involving the mitral
valve, the result of the same blood in
fection. This does not appear to be
progressive and there has been an inn
provement in the diarrhoea and in her
general condition. Mrs. McKinley's
case at the present time presents more
hopeful aspect"
The statement that Mrs. McI<inley's
case at this time presents a more hope
full aspect is the best word that has
come from the sick room since the ar
rival of the distinguished patient in
Washington. The President feels con-
siderably encouraged. Today was Mrs.
McKinley's birthday and many beauti-
full flowers and gifts were left at the
White House for her.
The Belgian Charge d'Affaires called
at the White House today and present
ed a personal message to the President
from the ning of Belgium expressing
sympathy for the President and inquir-
ing after Mrs. McKinley's health.

Washington, June S.-The United States
Government has again appealed to the
powers to submit the present issues at

Mr.. Rockhill who has been watching for
an opportunity, cabled Secretary Hay
last night for permission to make appro-
priation and the Secretary this morning
cabled him authority to do so. 1t is be-
lieyed that the Ministers at Pekin have
become involved beyond extrication in the
present issues and this proposition may
be the only way out.

THE ITALIANS IN NORFOLK.


The Portsmouth department of the
Norfolk Public Ledger, in an article on
the shipping Of the Italian machinists,
says:
THE Seaboard Air Line Railway last
night took out of the city the thirteen
Italians brought here to take the places
of the striking machinists, and every
body is now happy particularly the
Italians, who have been lying around
on bare floors and without much to eat
since Monday night.
Whether the Italians will ever reach
New York or not is a question not easily
answered. 1t was reported this morn
ing that the men had been sent South,
and The Public Ledger reporter made
inquiries at the general offices. After
being told by half a dozen employees
that they did not know where the men
had been sent, the reporter heard from
reliable source that the Italians had
been told that they would be given
work at any point on the line where the
company needed men, and then put
aboard of the Southbound train. They
had no passes or tickets, and they will
probably reach Tampa, Fla, tonight
or tomorrow The train that left here
last night meets a North-bo train
at Ridgeway, N. c., where, if the men
were to be sent to New York, the trans
fer would have to be made, but no or
ders to transfer were given and it
looks as if the Italians would have to
go to work somewhere or walk back
to New York from somewhere way
down South
Everybody around the Seaboard Air
Line office building had a great disgust
on this morning and they fled when
they heard the word Italians.
THE railroad company seems to have
obeyed the order of the Mayor by send
ing the Italians out of town and have
lost all interest in them.
"Later-The following telegram was
received by Chief of Police lyman this
afternoon:
"'Quantico, Va, June Z.
Chief of Police, Portsmouth, Va.
Here without transportation. What
shall we do? Nothing to eat.
(Signed). THIRTEEN ITALIANS
"Of course there was no answer sent,
as the men were out of the jurisdiction
of the police here, but the action of the
SeabOard Air Line in dropping these
ignorant and hungry men off of their
train at a point about fifty miles from
Washington, d. c., is generally con-
demned as they could have been put
on the New York ship and returned to
their homes and a great deal of trouble
saved to all parties"

Paris, October 22.-The Chamber of Deputies reassembled today. The Pre- mier, M. Waldeck- R Rousseau, refusing to concur with the demand of M. Besley (Socialist) for an immediate discussion of a motion to establish minimum wage for miners, days work of eight hours and a pension of francs per day after twenty-five of work The motion was re- jected by a vote of 321 to 254.
 M Basly's motion was intended to test the spirit of the chamber on the question of the miners demand.
 M Waldeck Rousseau vigorously re- peated that he would not concede the de- mands referred to-
 In the course of his remarks, M. Wall deck Rousseau said the government had already announced that it was opposed to fixing a minimum wage, but was disposed to continue it's examination of the ques- tions of miners pensions and see if il could not incorporate it in the general question of pensions.
 As to the eight hours work per day the government, the premier said, was de sirious of ameliorating conditions every where later, but it was impossible tc hastily answer such a question without injuring national production. It would De u peril II the present ueHcit or the out put of the mines was accentuated The government intended to continue the work in spite of the pressure put upon it. There would be little dignity on the part of the government if it inclined to such movements if irritation. No impru- dent promises which could not be full filled would be dragged from the ministry. He was opposed to an immediate discus sion of the proposition. Cheers from the center and radicals greeted the premier remarks.
