TOWNSHIP BOND QUESTION
Importants Decision by the Federal
Court OF Appeals.

ST. LOUIS, April IA legislature
cannot make a private purpose of a
public purpose by its own fiat" is one OF
the main points in an opinion handed
down by the United States court OF ap-
peals. The case was that of w. S.
Dodge against the township of Mission.
Shawnee county, Kan, appealed from
the United States district.
The action was originally brought by
him on 394 coupons cut from % town
ship bonds. issued under an act of the
Kansas Legislature TO encourage the
erection Of mills and the manufacture
of sugar and syrup out of sorghum cane,
and authorizing townships and cities Of
second and third class to subscribe for
stock in such sugar factories and to vote
bonds for this purpose.
Under the act every county receiving
the benefit of the bonds was required to
retain 10 cents from the purchase price
of every ton of cane and pay it over to
the treasurer of the township, to be ap-
piled in the payment of these bonds.
The act declared that all mills receiving
such aid were public mills and should
manufacture the sugar or syrup for GUS
toners who furnished cane, and that
they might charge toll for this manu-
facture
Under this act the township of Mis-
sion issued 80 bonds of $500 each on
Sept l, 1890. OF these, Dodge bought
20 and payment was refused on the cou-
pons He brought suit, and TO this allie.

tanned, that they were insufficient III

this decision on the part OF the marine

UNITED STATES AND CUBA
Senator SpoOner Talks Interestingly
of the Situation.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-"Congress
has defined the relations which shall ex-
ist between the United States and Gu
ba, and in my judgment it will not
agree TO any modification, said Senator
Spooner, member of the senate commit
tee on relations with Cuba, after a con-
ference at the war department with Sec
retary Root. 1.-The terms offered Gu
ba, Senator Spooner continued, ''are
more in the interest of the island than
that of the United States. / am conf
dent that the mass of the people of the
island appreciate the unselfsh attitude
of this government, and if they had an
opportunity to declare their views they
would unhesitatingly approve the rela-
tions as defined by congress.
The attention of the senator was
called to the suggestion that General
Wood should dissolve the convention
and Issue a call for another, the people
at the time of the election of delegates
to vote upon the question of the accept.
ance of the PIatt amendment.
81 have seen that report" he said.
81 know nothing about it. I believe,
however, that the convention, after fur.
ther consideration of the matter, will
come to the conclusion that the wise
course to pursue is to incorporate in the
constitution the terms offered them.

Similar sentiment In Russia.

LONDON, April IA dispatch from
st. Petersburg says the newspapers
there express keen satisfaction at the
festivities at Villefranche and Toulon as
evidencing the strengthening of the
Franco Russian alliance, and they con-
slider that the Franco-Italian rapproche-
ment is calculated to lead to the early
conclusion of an alliance between Rus
sia, France and Italy, which, in view of
the Pacific sentiments of the three DOW
ers, would. in the opinion of the VS.
papers of st. Petersburg, constitute an
efficacious guarantee of European peace.

BEEF FOR TOMMY ATKINS
War Office to supply Army With Home
Product Only.


LONDON, April 12.-rhe British war
office confirms the report that it is going
to try the experiment of supplying the
army with only home grown beef. The
experiment will extend SIX months from
June l.
The director of contracts, major,
said to a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press:
1.-The new rule applies only to refrig-
Grated beef hitherto bought in the open
market in London. 1t will not serious
ly affect the American trade, as the to-
tai weekly supply for the army is only
600, 600 pounds, which is barely 2 per
cent of the weekly imports of refriger-
ated beef into England from the United
States. Mr.. Broderick's action was ta-
ken long before the New Orleans pro-
ceedings.
lit is quite absurd to suppose that any
idea of retaliation has prompted the
order, which was due to a natural de.
sire TO help some of the home industries.
The difference in price is very trihing,
and we are making that up by giving
Tommy Atkins frozen mutton two days
instead OF one day weekly. If the plan
is satisfactory our supply problem will
be greatly simplifed, for we often have
complaints and disagreements over re-
frigerared beef.
You must not suppose that we now
have no home grown beef. Aldershot
and some of our other camps are almost
entirely supplied with home grown beef.
We have hitherto used refrigerated beef
as an addition to our rations, rather
than as an integral part. We have no
prejudice against American firms, and
we do not believe they will miss this
trade to any extent, even if it is decided
to continue the eXperimentn -

LONDON, April l2.-Japan's attitude
with regard to the Chinese situation is
now more clearly defined. When the
Chinese court returns to Peking another
protest will, it is said, be sent to Rus
sian against the occupation of Manchu-
ria. The Russian minister in Peking is
reported to have been instructed to
adopt policy of terrorization toward
perial court to agree to Manchurian

To Regulate the Saloons.

BRUNSWICK, Ca, April IL. "A petit
ton containing 1850 names was pre-
sented to the city council last night
urging the adoption of an amendment
to the license ordinance providing for the
closing of all liquor houses at 8 o'clock
at night and forbidding the opening of
the same previous to i o'clock in the
morning, also ordering all barrooms to
abolish front door blinds. A counter
petition was presented, signed by liquor
dealers. The council deferred action
until the next meeting

Caused by General UncIeanliness and
Eating of Good Deal of Fish-Pit-
liable Sights In Town Streets and
Country Roads.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The exist
ence of about 200 lepers on the Island Of
Teneriffe, Canary islands, has been Off
cially reported here by United States
Consul Berliner at TenerIffe. He says
there are three distinct classes of lep-
rosy on Teneriffe island, namely: Lep-
era arabum, lepera elphantiasis and
lepera tuberculosis. The disease di-
verges into two main varieties, the
spotted and the nodular. The report is
based ON personal investigation and as
sistanoe of physicians, and says:
"Leprosy is to some extent epidemic
among people here, on account of their
eating a good deal Of fish anG their
general uncleanliness.
LAS being contagious it is generally
discredited here, but in nay opinion it
is very infectious. In former years
Spain had established a colony at Grand
Canary for lepers. They were housed
there, but had perfect liberty to wan
der about without restriction, except
that they must sleep in the house built
for them. In the course of time this
law became a dead letter, and grad
ually they spread over the different
islands.
Pitiable Sight.
"At Santa Cruz de Teneriffe, the cap
ttal, there are (from personal knowl-
edge 90 lepers, Is of whom are men,
and there also are some children of
these unfortunates. They are given a
place about Is minutes walk from the
city hall, where they live, which is
called 'Barranco Santo. There are also
living at the same place about 200 peO
pie besides, nearly all beggars. You
meet them at all times of day in town
or country road, asking aims and eX-
posing their limbs. Many have no fiug-
ers or toes, and they hobble along, and
more pitiable sight is hard TO imagine.
"OfficialIy it is not recognized that
leprosy exists on these islands.
The provincial government at Tene-
rife has lately built a large building,
about miles out of town. The builing
has two separate wings, one for insane
patients and the other for lepers
United States Consular Agent Swan
ston, on Grand Canary island, i'll an ac-
companying report, says that leprosy
there is decidedly decreasing. There
are so patients in the leper hospital at
Las Palmas. A few families infected
with the disease live i'll their own homes.

GERMANY is NOT ALARMED
Franco-Russian Festivities Mean Pre-
servation OF Peace.


BERLIN, April la.--German official
circles commeRt calmly on the Toulon
festivities They claim that Germany
has not been unpleasantly impressed
thereby, but that, oil the contrary she
is glad for everything making for peace.
The officials point cut that the French
were less demonstrative than at the re-
ception of the Russian fleet few u; ars
ago. One official said:
eve can only hail the demonstration
as guarantee of the continuance of
peace conditions The French, appa-
rently, are dropping the Alsace- Lorraine
question. The prospects of European
war are more remote than ever, the ma
tions being too much occupied with de-
veloping their economic strength to
think of war -
