INsULAR AFFAIRS NOTED.
The Attorney General Comments
Thereon In Annual Report.

! The Attorney General yesterday sub
! mitted to Congress his annual report Of
| the work done in the Department of JUS
tice. The report deals exhaustively with
the activities of the various departments,
and contains summary of the important
decisions rendered by the Supreme Court
of the United States.
During the October term the Supreme
Court of the United States disposed of
36S cases, leaving 1886 not disposed Of
The total number of Federal prisoners
in custody is given as 4.64L There were
discharged during the year ,611. Forty
one died and siXty-three were pardoned
The whole number of suits decided or
otherwise disposed of in all Federal
courts during the year was 1899. the
amount Of judgments obtained being
S661, ,537.3S.
The attention of Congress is i2vited to
an accompanying report OF the commits
sion appointed to codify the criminal laws
of the United States.
The Attorney General recommends that
salaries of members OF the Supreme
Court of the United States be increased,
but does not mention any amount.
During the year. he says. 499 claims
were filed with the Spanish Treaty Claims
Committee, aggregating $50, ,15S.S78.
1t is recommended that a special divis-
ion OF the committee be created to have
charge OF insular and territorial affairs,
and that sufficient amount be appropri-
ated by Congress for this purpose.
On this General Knox says: ut has
been necessary to deal with people speak
ing foreign tongues, TO interpret foreign
laws. and to adjvst to our system a
multitude of affairs in strange and dis
tant Islands. That the work has been
accomplished thus far by the present force
of the department does not argue that it
can wisely and thoroughly be carried on
in that way. 1t was thrust upon the
department as a matter of urgent neces-
sity and was done because it had to be
done and done at once.
1T should be done now in a more or
derly and deliberate manner and by per-
sons having little else to attend to and
able to listen to representations and be-
come acquainted with the situation OF
our insular people. whose happiness and
well-being during an indefinite future are
affected by ii. The present force of the
department is little larger than it was
fifteen years ago and is fully occupied
with work other than that concerning
the island and TerritOrie8."
He recommends additional appropria-
tion for the proposed new building for
the Department OF Justice, saying:
The building should be worthy OF tho
purpose to which it Is to be devoted. and
for the Government whose dignity il in
part represents. In this connection due
regard should be had TO the general plan
for the adornment OF Washington, which
is now under consideration by a compe-
tent commission

HEARING IN CARTER CASE.
Arguments ON appeal Begun in the
Supreme Court,

Arguments in the appeal of Oberlin N
Carter. late captain, United States Army
from the denial by the United States Dis
trict Court in Kansas of his application
for writ of habeas corpus were begun
in the Supreme Court yesterday after
noon.
Carter was sentenced by court martial
to Ave years Imprisonment at Fort Leav-
enworth for cOnspiring with Greene aud
the GaynoTs, contractors, to defTaud the
Government in harbor improvements at
Savannah. The basis for asking his re-
lease is errors by the court-nartial dur
ing the trial. together with allegations
rs to the lack Of jurisdiction by the court
martial and excessive punishment.
The most important question at issue is
whether the proceedings of a court mar
tiaI are in any way subject TO review by
the Supreme Court or any other civil
court.
Habeas corpus proceedings by Greene
and the Gayaors who were indicted in the
United States Court in Georgia for the
same offence and who are by this means
resisting removal from New York to Sa-
yannah for trial. were heard by the Su-
premc Court last week. .ad the case is
ncw under consideration by the court.

NO MAPS DELIVERED
PRIOR TO PAYMENT.
RULE OF THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
A Request for Charts From the DIs-
trict Commissioners Turned
Down-Money for Mailing
Must he Forthcoming.

Accordingto anotiee served upon the Dis
trict Commissioners by the Navy Depart
ment the provisions of the law will have to
be abided by in furnishing maps to the
Business High School. 1t appears that the
Navy Department is no respecter of per-
sons when II comes to the dispensing of
favors under the frank system II mans
| of the Hydrographic Office and Of the out
lying portions of the world are to be fur
nished to the Business High School for
the purpose Of giving information to the
young of the National Capital they must
be paid for the same as if they were to
be sent to Podunk Cross Roads in the
State of New Jersey
The matter was brought officially to the
attention of the Navy Department by a
recent request on the part of the District
Commissioners for certain charts which.
II was thought would be of use in the
methods OF instruction adopted for the
Business High School.
OF course, a messenger of the NAVY De-
partment might be employed to deliver
the charts. or a messenger of the High
School could be called into requisition for
that purpose, but this would not satisfy
the stern provisions of the law. which re-
quires the deposit of about 10 cents
apiece for the charts to cover the cost
of mailing. etc.
Replying to the request Of the Commits
sioners relative to the matter, Secretary
Johc ID. Long writes:
Replying to your letter of the 18th in
slant, enclosing one from the Director of
the High Schools OF the District of Co
iumbia, and requesting that copies OF GER
tain maps Of the photographic Office be
furnished for the use OF the Business
High School in the study of commercial
geography, / haze the honor to inform
you that the Chief of the Bureau of Equip-
ment, to whom your letter was referred.
reports that the publications of the Hy-
geographic Office, in general. cannot be
furnished free of cost, but under the law
are sold at cost price. Under the cfrcum-
stances the Department regrets that it
is unable to comply with your request"
As further evidence of good will Sec
retary Long eneloses a circular of the
photographic Office. in which have been
noted the prices of the several charts. the
total cost Of which is $3.50. the amount
the School Board is called upon to pay
before the charts in question can be de-
liyered.

CROKER HINTS AT
EARLY RETIREMENT.
MAY RESIGN THE LEADERSHIP
Declares That the Head of Tammany
Hall Must BE in New York
RECOMMENDATIONS
Do SO Himself.

| NEW YORK, DEC. 3.-Richard Croker
was late in presenting himself in the
drawing room of the Democratic Club
this morning, where a number of persons
were gathered to hear what ne had to say
about his authorized interview pub
! lished this morning.
Il have looked it all over. point by
point, and Ind it pretty near right" COM
mented the chief 1T is correct with one
exception. l did not see the resolutions
introduced by Representative Mcclellan
in the Democratic caucus at Washington
While l approve of them personally, I
feel that we should stand by the national
platform until the National Committee
changes it. The resolutions are pretty
good, though.
Not Branching Out.
81 am getting along in years. and it is
pretty hard to be wheelhorse for every
one all the time. You will find me less
active in politics in the future than in
the past.
81 don't mean to say that am out OF
politics. I do think. however. that the
work have been doing should be taken
up by some of the younger blood of the
organization.
This talk OF my branching out is uu-
true. / had nothing TO do with the in
PRODUCTION of the Mcclellan resolutions.
Mr.. Mcclellan prepared them without any
suggestion from me.
Il admit that the leader OF Tammany
Hall should stay in New York all the year
round, and / can't stay here for more than
part of the year. II / tried to stay here
all the time l could not work at all
When l went away last year after the
campaign | was broken down completely
! knew it was wrong for me to 20 away
but had to do it to save my life.
No New Leader Selected.
When asked if he was training anybody
to succeed him as leader he replied:
''oh, haven't come TO that yet and I
have not planned my future. except that
will go to England in January or Feb
ruary. The Tammany executive commit
tee Will meet next month and yoa may
hear more of the matter then"
That remark was taken as an intfma-
ton that Croker will resign his leadership
at the next meeting Of the executive com
mittee.
Mr.. Croker's statement is construed as
virtual abdication of the Tammany lead
ership.

Human Fertilization.

The scientists connected with the
government do not believe in the
existence of such a thing as petri-
fed human body, and the investlga-
tions they are constantly called upon
to make, Of alleged petrified bodies,
have ali up to this time served to
confirm their belief. The latest in
yestigation was connected with the
discovery, in New Jersey, by a
Young geologist connected with the
chronological Bureau, of what he an
nounced as a sure-enough petrlfled
man. The young man was ordered
to forward the find to Washington,
and ten minutes after the case was
opened it was shown to be only a
limestone boulder, curiously fashion
ed into features resembling those OF
a man, and another disappointment
was recorded. Prof. w. j. MCGEE,
said on this subject: NO such Jhlng
as a human petrifcation has ever
been discovered, but that is 70 rea-
sonsto say that it connot exist or has
not existed: It may be possible. !
doubt it, and everybody else who
has inquired into the matter at AL
doubts it. The human flesh has
never been known to become petri-
fed, but nevertheless, any case re-
ported to US is, Of course inquired
into. That human bodies petrify
sometimes has long been a popular
belief, and there are few neighbor-
hoods in which local stories Of petri-
fed bodies are not told and believed
But these Scientists have never
found one.

A. c. Probert Having Trouble Over
Banking.
AND HE is NOW UNDER ARREST.
Banks Peposltors at Bourbon Indiana,
Demand Their Money and Have
Caused Mr.. Probert's Arrest
on charge of Embezzlement.

News has reached here from Bour-
bon, Indiana, that ex-mayor and
ex-banker A. G.. Probert, of this
city, is again in trouble. Probert
was formerly president OF the Bank
OF Washburn of this city, and had
banks at Shell Lake and Prescott.
Besides he was president of the
Washburn Brewing Company and
vas interested in many other bust
ness enterprises when he collapsed
in 1893. Afterwards he was mayor
OF Washburn, president of the school
board, and held other important
positions. When in the height of
his glory he was sent to prison on
the charge of illegal banking, and
served year and a half He then
went to Niles, Michigan, where he
opened the ST. Luke's hospital, and
issued diplomas upon which physi-
clans could practice in certain states,
the institution being Incorporated
under the laws of the state of Mich
gan. Probert had never had any
professional training, but assumed
the title of NJ. D. Last year he
branched out, and started two banks
in Indiana. Both have failed, one
at BOURBON and the other at Tippe-
canoe. Warrants have been sworn
out for illegal banking at Bourbon,
and Probert is fighting requisiuion
from the Governor of Indiana upon
the Governor of Michigan. Probert
is certainly smooth aad it is said
that the sufferers from his Indiana
banks are many. A copy of a Bour-
bon paper has been received in the
city and it writes up our old fellow
townsman in a not complimentary
manner.

Hale is an Executor.

Milwaukee, Wis, July 29.-An
estate said in the petition to ex-
coed 100000, and which a con
sentative estimate places at $780,
900, is divided by the will of
William f. Dalrymple, which was
filed today
Mr.. Dalrymple was well known
in financial circles for twenty
five years before his DEATH. His
connection with his brothers in
the ownership of the so-called
bonanza farm at Casselton, S. D.,
made his opinion valuable in the
wheat pit.
All the information given in
the petition is that the personal
ity and real estate exceed $50, 900
each, and that the annual rents
of the real estate are about SIS, 900.
Of the entire estate $3.50 is left
in charity, $4,000 is payable in
legacies to brothers, neices and
grandneices within five years,
and the rest is thrown into a
trust running from ten to twenty
years.
The home farm in Sugar Grove,
Warren county, Pennsylvania,
goes to the testator's nephew,
Frank FL. Dalrymple.
All the heirs live in Pennsyl-
vania> and North Dakota The
will was executed in June, 1898

1899, naming as executors and
trustees, Judge George I'll. Noyes,

Italian Girls AID Their Photos.

Italian girls, unlike most of
their American sisters, are gen
orally unwilling to have their
photographs published, and even
when their consent is obtained
their relatives may object In
arranging, for instance, for pic
lures to Illustrate the article on
"What Girl Life in Italy Means, !"
in The Ladies Home Journal for
August, the agent Of that maya
zine lad with much difficulty at
last secured the photographs of
some very pretty italian girls,
with their permission to publish
the pictures without their names,
simply as types of Italian girl
hood. Before the photographs
had been mailed, however, a
jealous lover, three still more
jealous brothers, and pair Of
angry fathers withdrew the
young ladies' given permission,
and the photographs were, Of
course, at once returned. After
further fruitless efforts the hope
of getting any pictures had al
most been abandoned when, by
a happy chance, the good officers
of Prince Ruspoli, Lord Mayor,
of Rome, and head Of the munic-
ipal schools, were enlisted, and
the attractive photographs that
illustrate the article were finally
obtained.

Money in Farming,

There are some surface indications
that within brief period there will
be movement of capital toward in
vestments in farm property, not for
speculative purposes or to receive
the income from leasing, but to en-
gage in farming as business in
vestment. 1t is dawninq upon many
people with accumulated capital
that merely as business venture
farming offers larger profits, with
less risk for invested capital, than
any other branch of productive in
dustry. 1t has been found that the
thoroughly equipped farmer who has
suficient capital at his command and
who introduces into his operations
the time saving methods and practi-
cal economies which have become es-
tablished ia every other branch of
industry, receives large returns for
his time and money; while farmers
of every kind and description man

If there is one thing more than
another than will shock the natural
faith in human nature it is such a
thing as was witnessed in the yicin-
ity of the Omaha depot one day last
week. when a Miners Widow, =
passing around a card and begging
for aims was making for her train.
The woman claimed to be crippled,
anS walked with a cane and crutch,
and secured a great deal of assist
ance here. When going to the train
she discovered she was late, so pick
ed up her crutch and care and run
just as good and fast as anyone could
without a shadow OF limp. The
woman claims to be from Hurley,
and is certainly an imposition Of the

Rare Butterfi Bring Big Prices.

About twenty butterflies and near
ly 800 moths are supplied by Wicken
Sege Fen ia Cambridgeshire, Eng
land, but only few of the rarer and
more valuable specimens are
sought after by the entomologists.
Their value, from a monetary point
of view, is somewhat difficult to
gauge; for instance, a scarce and in
conspicuous brown moth, called
Hydrilla palustris, which is only
taken at long intervals, several
years intervening, is worth SO to
SIS, while a swallow tail butterfly,
although found nowhere else in Eng
land, is worth but 10 cents. A good
specimen of the large copper butter
fly is worth from $50 to $40, but this
butterfly is now extinct. -Pearson's
