MANUEL WILL MAKE GOOD.
Portuguese King to Refund Value Of
Missing Jewels.

LISBON. April 24.-When King Miguel
was deposed as ruler of Portugal in 1884
the crown jewels, valued at $2.OOOOoO.
were confiscated and deposited In the
Bank Of Portugal as the property of the
state. Recently the republican press has
charged that absolute proof existed that
a large portion Of these jewels had been
sold without the consent of Parliament to
meet the expenses OF the royal house.
King Manuel thereupon ordered that an
inventory be taken. and this proved that
jewels to the value of $75O.O00 were miss
ing. -
Furthermore. the administrator of. the
royal house declared that the government.
which at that time was controlled by the
"rotative'' parties. had consented to the
removal of the jewels. The governor of
the Bank of Portugal was questioned and
admitted the removal OF the precious
stones but he declared that the sale had
been made upon the urgent demand of
King Carlos. VINO desired to meet certain
pressing debts Of the royal household in
order to avoid scandal.
After these facts had come to light
King Manuel summoned the minister of
finance and announced his intention of
personally refunding the value of the
missing jewels to the royal treasury. The
attitude of the young king In this matter
has evoked universal admiration, even
among the republicans

NEW APPALACHIAN BILL.
This One Constitutional, Pollard of
Nebraska Thinks.

A bin designed to bring about the ac-
quisition by the government of water
shed lands of the Appalachian and White
mounta ain chains was introduced today by
Representative Pollard of Nebraska, and is
intended to fall within the constitutional
limits laid down recently by the House
committee on the judiciary. That de-
cisiOn held it to be unconstitutional for
the government to acquire, in the states,
lands for forestry purposes. but upheld
the constitutionality Of acquiring forest
lands in aid of navigation when 1t can
be shown that the relation of such lands
to navigation is distinct and substantial.
Mr. Pollard's bill proposes the appoint
ment by the President of commission
OF live men. whose duty it shall be to
make an investigation of the watersheds
OF the United States. not included in ex-
listing national forests and which contain
the sources OF navigable streams. and re-
port to him by particular description what
parts Of these watersheds have a direct
and substantial connection with the con-
servation Of the waters Of navigable
streams The President is then. by the
terms Of the bill, to proclaim such lands
to be parts of the forest reserves OF the
United States.

which the body was found was an axe
on which were found some stains and
which may or may not have been blood
spots.
But while the general appearance OF
the room indicated that there had been
trouble of some kind, if nothing more
than drunken row. the most suspi-
cious feature of the case was the con-
dition of the floor of the room around
tie body. This appeared as if kerosene
had been poured upon the floor and
then set fire to. as the boards We're
charred to a sufficient depth that the
charred part could be scraped off with
ones foot. The wood of the mopboard
was also charred. That part of the
floor on which the body rested and al
50 where the right hand rested was not
charred, but the hand was blackened,
as also was the right side of the face,
ard appeared as if burned, all of
which would seem to indicate that the
crime of arson had been attempted In
order to cover up crime of a much
more devilish nature.
Ernest Belts, who shared the house
with Durham, was found at the resi-
dencc of Ernest MARI, nearby the house
in which the body was found, and stat
ed that he had not been at home Fri
day night. Belts told the officers that
the last time that he saw Durham was
Friday forenoon; that he gave Durham
quarter of a dollar and that at that
time Durham was all right.
Ernest Mari said that he saw Dun
