Strong: Words of Representative Sib.

ShoNld he Dismissed,

Washington, April 2o.-Representa-
tive Siblcy U'a.) created something
of Il sensation in the house Monday
during the general debate ON the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill, by Sc
ccrely dcnouncing Gen. Jacob II.
Smith for the orders he issued
in the Samar campaign. He de-
clarcd that Gen. Smith was a
disgrace to the uniform he wore
and expressed the hope that the
president would strip him of his
uniform within rs hours. Mr.. Sibley
said he had been an expansionist and
defended the policy of the admins
tration in the acquisition of the Phil
ippines. Duty and honor, he said,
justified our position there. The
commercial welfare OF the nation de-
mantled that we should control that
archipelago, which stands as the
gateway to the oriental world.
Mr.. Sibley's speech was enthusiasts
tically applanded by the democrats
and was received with some evidence
of approval on the republican side.
The speech was considered the more
remarkable in that it came from a re.
publican who left the democratic
party on the issues raised by the
Spanish war and who since has been
an ardent eNDanSiOniSt.

Public sentiment in Venice is bitter
toward the officers, but the press eX-
presses qualification over the prompt
action of Capt. Dayton, Of the Chi

and to promise that the guilty men
should be given an additional punish

Col. Guevarra, the commander of the
insurgent forces in the island of Sa-
mar, practically ends the armed insur-

TO CHECK BEEF TRUST.
Attorney General Knox Takes Steps
to Investigate Cause of High
Prices

Washington, April 25.-Attorney
General Knox on Thursday made the
following statement regarding the
so-called beef trust:
"On April this department directed
w. A. Day, ESQ.,. of Washington, in his
capacity as special assistant to the at
torney general, to examine into, as far
as practicable, the public charge to the
effect that a combination of the large
meat dealers of the United States had
been effected contrary to the provisions
of the laws of the United States. This
preliminary examination resulted in in
structions to Mr.. Day and Mr.. Bethea,
United States attorney at Chicago. on
April I. to prosecute simultaneously in
Chicago and the east a more particular
examination into the allegations and
proofs alleged to exist in support there
of. From their reports am satisfied
that sufficient evidence is in hand upon
which bills in equity for an injunction
can be framed to restrain the combina-
tion mentioned from further proceeding
under their agreements, which clearly
appear to be in restraint of interstate
trade
Il have therefore, in compliance with
the law which provides, 1T shall be the
duty of the several district attorneys of
the United States in their respective
districts under the direction of the at
torney general. to institute proceedings
In equity to prevent and restrain viola
tions of this act,' directed the district
attorney at Chicago to prepare bill for
and persons who are parties to the COM
bination mentioned to be filed in the
United States circuit court for the north
ern district of Illinois,"

viding for the sale of the Danish West
India islands to the United States, as

in 1867.
The proposal was adopted by vote
of 9s tot.
The landsthing is expected to agree
to the folkcthing's decision, with some
minor notifications regarding the de-
tails of the plebiscitc. The anti-sale
element is now devoting its attention
to influencing the voting of the is
landcrs themselves. 1t is known that

]. STERLING NORTON DEAD.
Close of the Career of the Former
Secretary of Agriculture
His Busy Life.

Chicago, April 2s.-J. Sterling Nor
ton, secretary of agriculture during
President Cleveland's second term,
died suddenly at the residence of his
son, Mark Morton, in Lake Forest, at
1880 o'clock Sunday afternoon. His
death resulted primarily from an at
tack of heart failure, with which he
was prostrated shortly after the noon
hour, but his constitution was weak
ened by an illness of several months,
which had not been considered Sc.
rious.
Julius Sterling Morton was in Washing
ton for four years as secretary of agricul-
ture in President Cleveland's second ad-
ministration. He was a man of steadfast
convictions, unswerving honesty and un-
doubted ability. BY nature a controver-
sialist, Mr.. Morton came to the cabinet
with many fixed ideas about the govern
ment service. He was practical farmer.
and ran his department along practical
lines, but nevertheless not without many
squabbles. He regarded the distribution of
seeds as paternaiistic, and on that subject
found himself In opposition to congress.
