Attorneys S Fee Held.

An injunction was issued by Justice
Wright of the District of Columbia
Supreme Court, restraining United
States Treasurer Treat From paying
to former United States Senator Ma
rion Butler of South Carolina, $75 700,
a portion of the fee allowed for prose-
cutting suits against the United States
and obtaining judgments in favor #
the Cherokee Nation.
Skelly and Martin, attorneys, sought
the injunction to prevent the Treas
l;xer from paying over the attorneys
fee for which ali appropriation Was
made on the last day Of congress, un-
til such time as their interest in the
fees should be recognized. This firm
made the original contract with the
Indians and at that time former Se1-
ator Butler was member Of it.
Under the courts order issued
Treasurer Treat is allowed to pay to
Robert Lowen, the Indian lawyer who
successfully argued the case IN the
Supreme Court of the United States,
fees amounting to 100000. A demur-
rer to the bill of complaint was filed
on behalf of the Treasurer and the
hearing will go over until fall.

Statement to Committee.

Public Printer Stillings made a
statement for the Senate Committee
Oh Printing in connection with the
committees s investigation of the cause
of delay in the enrollments of bills
on the last day of the recent ses-
sion of Congress.
In his statement he made the claim
that the delay was il nowise attrlbu-
table to his office. In spite of this con-
tention, he quoted the House enroll
ing clerk as having assumed what
blame there was, but said that that
official had told the House managers
in advance that owing to the volume
of business adjournment early in the
day would be an impossibility.'
He stated that the error by which
the $3,0O0,000 appropriation for pub
lie buildings in Washington had been
retained in the civil bill was due to an
order from the Capitol.

Abuses of Naturalization.

Carrying out suggestion made by
the House Committee on Foreign AT
fairs, a board assembled at the State
Department to inquire into the laws
and practice regarding citizenship in
the United States, expatriation and
protection abroad and to report regu-
lations for legislation to be laid be-
fore congress next session. The prl-
mary purpose is to devise means OF
checking the abuses Of American nat
uralization by persons who take ou!
papers with the deliberate purpose OF
returning Immediately to their native
countries, where they have given much
trouble to the State Department by
claiming immunity from all the obliga-
tions of the natives Of their own gov
ernment, thereby causing great dis
content and leading to much diplo'
matte correspondence.

NEWS AND NOTES

CHRONICLED.
DEMAND SMALL BANK NOTES
Secretary Shaw Appeals to National
Banks to Help Satisfy the Demand
for Smaller Bank Notes by Issu-
ing Some.
Shaw Appeals to Banks.

Secretary Shaw has issued an ap-
peal to national banks to assist the
government in supplying pressing
demand for notes of small denomlna-
tions. He has sent to all national
banks letter requesting them 20 IS
sue as much as possible Of the aggre-
gate of their circulating notes III So
bills, indicating to them that there IS
more profit in the issuance Of such
notes than in putting out notes OF
larger denomination. In the course OF
his letter, Secretary Shaw says:
"The treasurer of the United States
is unable to meet, even at this season
Of the year, the pressing demand foE
notes Of small denominations. Tne
coming autumn will greatly increase
this demand. In the absence of legls-
lation | am forced to appeal to the
national banks to use every reason
able effort to relieve the situation.
"If each bank will do its share
there will be no difficulty. Failing
in this there will be slight reason to
complain of the inevitable shortage
in small bills.
"iThe law permits national banks
to issue one-third Of their circulaF-
ing notes in denominations of So.
The aggregate outstanding national
bank circulation is little over $780,
100000, one-third of which, or $780,
100000, might be in So notes. La
stead Of this maximum there is APP
proximately but $76,000,000 in fves.
The additional $9O,O00,000 in S. bills
now available would greatly relieve
the situation.
1t must be apparent that there Is
more profit in maintaining circula-
ton in small bills than in large.
Large bills are almost Immediately
presented for redemption. Small bills
find their way to the pockets of the
people, and remain in circulation
much longer, and only in proportion
as they stay in use is their mainte-
nance profitable. Issuing notes one
day to have them redeemed the next
is improbable to the banks and OF no
benefit to commerce.
~ wish to call your attention ro
one other consideration. If the banks
generally will exercise little care
and pay over their counters only ma
tional bank notes, they will greatly
assist in times Of monetary strin-
gency. National bank notes are In
tended for use, not for holding. They
are not available for reserve, ami
are valuable only when in actual use.
Please use them, and do not send them
in for redemption until unfit for use.
They are just as secure, just as safe.
just as convenient and just as accept
able to the people, and their use leaves
other forms of money available foI
reserve. "

King EDWARDS Cup.

BY a stroke of his pen, James B.
Reynolds, acting Secretary of the
Treasury, waived the application OF
the Dingley law to the handsome cup
which will be presented by King Ed
ward, through Ambassador Reid, 10
the winner of the yacht races to be
conducted off Newport next month,
under the auspices of the New York
Yacht Club.
King Edward has already forwarded
this handsome trophy, through the
United States Ambassador to Great
Britain, to the New York Yacht Club,
but the appraisers in the New York
custom house were puzzled by the
problem whether to collect the full
duty on the cup or to admit it free.
They finally referred the matter to
the department for decision, and, as
Mr. Reynolds is now acting secretary
it fell to him to decide.
As soon as all the circumstances
were made known to Mr. Reynolds, he
decided that the trophy should be ad-
mitted free, and has so ordered the
appraisers at New York, so there is
reason to expect that the cup will be
on exhibition ia the yacht club S quar-
ters at an early date.

AT BEHEST OF SPIRIT.
FanaticaI Mitchell Woman Says She
Slew Brother at Urgent Command
Of Ghost of Her Betrayer.

a dispatch from Seattle, Wash,
says: Immediately after the arrest
of Esther Mitchell the 17-year-old
girl who killed her brother Thursday
night, orders were given for the ar
RESI- of Mrs. Maud Creffield, the swid-
ow of the prophet, whose death at the
hands of George Mitchell led to the
tragedy. Mrs. Creffield, however, tel
epnoned the police where she was to
be found, and when taken to the
station frankly admitted that she had
entered into compact with Esther
to kill the slayer of her husband.
She will be held as an acomplice.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement Friday evening:
Mrs. Creffield and | talked over
the matter of killing George. The
enc that had the best chance to do
it. Mrs Creffield bought the gun.
We were at the room about 4 o'clock
this afternoon, and l thought would
have a better chance to do it than
Mrs Creneld, as my brother wanted
to see me, and believed that he
would think nothing about my going
20 the depot Then Mrs. Creffield gave
ne the gun and | was to do it. We
agreed that it must be done as soon
as possible. Ny brother Fred was up
10 MY locm today and said that Per-
ny and George were going to Portland
this evening. l went to the depot and
saw Perry get his ticket. At last l
saw George and | shook hands VITA
him. He and Perry were walking in
froat and Fred and | were walking

and George was in front of me. That
was the chance | wanted and | shot
him.
The girl is also reported to have
said that the spirit of the Holy
Roller" had visited her and urged her
to kill her brother.
at the recent trial of George
Mitchell for killing the Holy Roller"
prophet, it was claimed by the de-
fense that the prophet had seduce1
not only Esther Mitchell, but her
sister, and that in killing the proph-
ct George Mitchell only did what any
brother would have done under SINH
lar circumstances. This plea was eff
fective IN securing the acquittal OF
Mitchell.
No one suspected that Esther
Mitchell was so infatuated with her
betrayer that she would avenge his
death by killing her brother

and agents and E. G. Lewis, so far as
it affects E. G. Lewis personally. This
suspension, said the postmaster gen

Insurrection Against Guatemala.

Washington.-A cablegram was re-
ceived by Senor Munoz, the Guate-
maIan minister here, from Secretary
of State Barrios at Guatemala City,
announcing. that the Guatemalan army
had triumphed over the invading Sal
vadorean General Regalado. Orders
have been cabled to Commander Null
ligan of the Marblehead to proceed to
La Libertad, on the coast Of Salvador,
to protect American interests. Min
ister Merry, at San Salvador, cabled
the State Department that the fighting
is proceeding on the line betweel
Guatemala and Salvador, and that the
Guatemalan troops have crossed into
Honduras.
This latter is understood here to be
part of the Guatemalan attack on the
fugitives of Regalado's army after
that leader was killed.

CREDITORS AFTER ALEXANDER
Claims Are Filed by Banks Against
Cefsulting Cotton Firm.

EE12GItih9 SottoH Tt"'
The only development at Augusta,
Ga, Friday in the disappearance of
Thomas w. Alexander and the failure
fer something over $145,000 was the
filing of petition in bankruptcy in
the federal court by the Georgia Rail
road bank, the National of Augusta,
and the Southern States Phosphate
and Fertilizer company against the
firm. The schedule shows claims as
follows:
/ Georgia Railroad bank, notes, S120,-
600. Southern States Phosphate COM
pany, s11, 1,6S1; National bank, $500.
In addition to this total it is esti-
mated that T. w. Alexander's per-
sonal liabilities will amount to about
s26 600, making a total for the firm
and the individual who was its head,

Mr. Alexander's whereabouts is still
mystery. It is believed that there
will be no criminal action taken by
any of the creditors.

To disprove the impression that
trucking is not profitable in the North
ern end Of the State, the following
from a Tennessee paper is offered:
"A Humboldt correspondent Of a
Nashville paper offers this concerning
the old cabbage crop Of this section,
Although the prices received for straw
berries in the Humboldt territory this
season were not quite so good as
they should have been to make the
business especially profitable, the un-
usually high price of cabbage is more
than making up for the shortage il
the other crop. As an example of what
the growers are making off their cab
bage crop, your correspondent had IA
talk with j. B. Darety, an up-to-date
grower living near here. Mr.. Darety
stated that he had only a little over
three acres in cabbage that would
make something like 600 crates. After
paying for the marketing Of his crop
and the boxes in which they were
shipped, Mr.. Darety said that he
would clear little over 81 per crate.
This makes about 5000 for the crop
or nearly 5000 per acre. Many other
have larger crops and all are receiving
the same prices"
