RegistratiOn Law Upheld.

The appeal case made by W. H. Pope
OF Montgomery county, who was refused
registration because he failed to observe
the section of the new registration law
which requires one coming into the
State to 60 first before the Clerk OF the
Circuit Court and register his intention
to become citizen of the State, has
been decided adversely to Mr.. Pope; in
other words, the law has been upheld
The decision, therefore, makes it clear
that, hereafter, all who come ihto this
State must first register their intention
to become citizens, and one year after
this formality can become regularly re-
gistered as voters. 1t is said that this
law has been pretty generally ignored
by the registers this year, because OF its
unpopularity.

Prominent members Ct the House
have assured the President that the
Cuban reciprocity resolution would be
passed at the extra session of Congress.
Representative Jones of Washington,
who was one of the strongest opponents
Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty in the
last Congress, told the President that
although he still opposed the measure
personally, be would vote for it when
it came up in the House. The beet
sugar interests have withdrawn their
opposition to the treaty. The discus
sion will give the democrats an oppor-
tunjty to talk against the tariff and it
is expected that they will take every
advantage Of it. Many speeches de-
nouncing the tariff will be useful at
home during the coming presidential
campaign, SO they will be delivered in
spite of the fact that there is no hope
of stopping the passage Of the resou =
ton which will make the treaty efec-
tive.

nine spots in all, and shows indications

several of the astronomers, and ought
to be a conspicuous object for several
days yet. A bllliant aurora was seen

PARIS, April 11.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-The tumuls
In the Chamber Of Deputies this week when
the Dreyfus affair was dragged into the
Syveton contested election case so excited
the Figaro's parliamentary reporter that
he wrote:
From all eyes blazed flashes of hatred.
From every mouth issued cries Of ven
geance. Even the people in the galleries
were agitated and the turbulents seemed
to take part In this general rehearsal Of
civil war. l do not take the matter
tragically. but l think it is to be taken
very seriously"
The Chamber did not take it quite so
seriously, for it voted confidence in the
government, refused to take the Dreyfus
case from the jurisdiction Of the courts
and unseated Syveton. But the deputies
were a good deal worked up for awhile after
Jaures had galvanized the Dreyfus affair
skeleton and let the bones rattle around
the Palais Bourbon for two days. The
thing which caused the most excitement
was an alleged letter written by General
De Pellieux to General Zurlinden while
the latter was military governor Of Paris.
Jaures and ex-Premier Brisson accused ex-
War Minister Cavaignac OF having sup
pressed this letter.
Cavaignac at first replied that he had
regarded It as of no Importance. Then
losing patience after being tainted Cav
aignac turned to the socialists, shouting:

various quarters OF the world, but the Of
hcials do not hesitate TO declare that so
far as Germany Is concerned they always
have been treated with the utmost con-

As to the American missionaries In the
Carolines the department years ago took
what ii regarded as the necessary steps
TO insure their perfect freedom from moles-
tation. At that time Spain and Germany
both claimed the islands. For fifty years
the American missionaries had been work
ing there, so the United States government
politely intimated to both parties to the
controversy that no matter who ultimately
possessed the islands IL would expect thal
due consideration would be given These
missionaries and their property.
Positive assurances were promptly re-
turned by both that the Missionaries would
be duly protected and Germany, after i
had purchased the islands outright from
Spain, reiterated this assurance. So thu
o~fhciaIs here have not the least thought o.
friction on the score OF the missionary es
