The great arm of this republic ought to be rmdy always to follow Its people , to protect their Interests , their property and their lives anxvhoro In the world. ( Applause. ) Mr , McCreary. ex-clmlrman of the foreign affairs committee , followed Mr. Hltt with a hourly endorsement of the resolutions. The Island , lie raid , was confronted with ruin , and the Cuban people with extermina tion. Ho. Wns ready , bo wld , to do all In his power consistent with honor and with the Integrity of our country to give Inde pendence to Cuba and free the ptrugsllns patriots from a cruel and relentless deo- potlpm. This was no time for sympathy or for the denunciation of the brutal out rages and the barbarous , atrocities that have liean ( committed In Cuba. The tlmo had come for the American congress to act. Mr. Adams , the member of the foreign af fairs committee who drew the rcsjlutlons , made an eloquent appeal In behalf of the Btruggllng Cubans. The spirit of liberty which we hail Invoked In 1770 , he said , was not bounded by the mete ? of continents nor the vast ocean Itself. He referred with pride to the .fact that hewhile minister to Hrazll. had received Instructions from Mr. nialno , then secretary of state , to open diplomatic relations with the provisional government of Hravll , when Dom-Pedro was dethroned. Now , sirs , tjhall wo hesitate , when this other child of freedom calls upon us to grant It recognition In Its struggle for liberty. Shall the peopleof the United States hesitate ? I hone and pray that the great ruler who guides the destines of men and controls the fate of nations will plant In the hearts of our rulers today jil\o .panic spirit that dwelt In that of James O. Blalne. ( Loud applause. ) . Mr. Stilzer. who was given three minutes , spoke In favor of the resolution. [ TURNER LEADS THE OPPOSITION. Mr. Turner made the principal speech In opposition to the adoption of the resolutions , lie expressed at the outset surprise that the .committee had furnished no Information on which to bana a resolution of so much gravity. The correspondence sent to congress by the State department , he termed a "dreary record .ot mutual Incendlarlpm and assassination , " 'Th'e.prpcqdenjs ' clted .hc said , were extremely unfortunate. * ' . * ' * " "When recognition'"Wiv accorded to ttfo southern states.

( Applause. ) I have been amazed that an effort has been made today In this coun try , by reason of what wao done In Barcelona _ yesterday , to appeal to the , war spirit of our countrymen by arousing a torrent of horror and Indignation. ( Applause. ) "No sooner than the Incident had occurred on yesterday , Spain apologized for the out rage and promised reparation. They may be a hot-blooded people , but there Is In thplr , nature the spirit of ancient chivalry. . In reference to the outrage ypoken of here and elsewhere. I believe that the stories that we have heard are utterly Incredible. I do not deny that atrocities have been committed In this as In other wars , such as occur be tween men In gnllcnt and manly conflict. Aho Is the president of the Cuban republic , so-called ? I understand that he Is a citizen of the United States and that ho Is now In the United States Instead of taking his fate along with the patriots fighting for freedom. 'Wharo Is the capltol ? How many have they In arms ? Who knows ? What battles have they fought ? Where are their gallant chief tains who have met the enemy In the open plain and fought as wo are accustomed to POO heroes fight for freedom ? I am not de ficient In that patriotism which actuates the gentlemen who are- the friends of free dom. But can wo , " bo concluded , "afford to outrage the etlilcs and decencies which pre vail between friendly nations In a cause so momentous as that of peace ? " ( Loud ap- plauii ; . ) WOULD REGENERATE SPAIN. Mr. Smith , a member of the foreign affairs committee , | ji reply to Mr. Turner , said hu bad listened with profound amazement to the denial of our right under the law of nations to confer upon the Insurgents bel ligerent rights. "The gentleman from Geor gia , " continued Mr , Smith , "objects because the president of the now republic Is a for eigner. Would ho ask you , Mr. Speaker , to take down that picture of the patriot La fayette hanging ou the wall , a man who came to thla country , God-Inspired , from the land of Franco to lift the banner of freedom during the gtrugglo for independence of the United States ?

" ( Applause. ) Mr. lloutcllu was granted three minutes by Mr. Tucker , In charge of the opposition. "I havu grave doubts , " ho said , " 03 to the expediency or propriety of the house of rep resentatives adopting , under a suspension of the rules , a practical declaration of war BKslru't a power with which wo are now at po.tco. I am not unamorod of the prospect ot v ar. I am not afraid to ttanil hero and nUto that I deprecate war. War Is horrlblo , ami it Is only to bo endured when honor 'and ' necessity demand It. I do not say that 'tho ' adoption of these resolutions will of necessity produce war. I say that It Is the entering wwlRe.

" ( Prolonged applause. ) SOUTHERNERS WANT PEACE. After sumo brief renuiks by Mr. McCall anil Mr. Moody agaliul precipitate action , Mr. Tucker secured the Hoar and closed for the opposition , The resolutions , ho argued , vrcra contrary to our well settled and his toric policy ot noninterference In the do- nstftlo conoorna of other iiatlons.

Mr. Hltt closed the debate with the gen rral assurance that we were not on the brlnl of war , end In support of this assertion be read to the house a copy ot the cablegran received from Minister Taylor at Madrid , Mr. Tucker and others argued whether the resolutions were devleable or could be amended or recommitted to allow Inquiries The speaker replied that the vote must bo liken on the adoption of the resolutions as a whole.

The announcement was the signal for an enthusiastic demonstration , In which the galleries - lories heartily Joined. For fully a minute the handclapplng continued.

March 2. The bill passed by the senate today for the Increase of the navy attracted considerable attention In view ot the tension over Spanish-Cuba affairs. In explaining the measure , Mr. Hale , who reported It frcm the naval committee , said that while bo did not believe the United States would bo Involved In war an a re sult of the present troubles , yet ho consid ered It desirable to give the president au thority In case of emergency to call out the naval mllltla and charter private ships for naval transports. The bill , ns passed , au thorizes the addition of 1.000 enlisted men to the navy , the cr.llstlng for not more than two years ot the naval mllltla forces In case of emergency , and the chartering of trans port ships In case of emergency. The bill passed under the flve-mlnuto rule and by unanimous consent. Another bill was passed which establishes a retired list for the revenue service sys tem similar to the retirement system of the army and navy. Most of the day was given to the senate calendar and many minor blllo were passed. ' The Spanish-Cuban question came to the attention of the senate soon after the day's session opened , when Mr. Call urged the adoption of the following resolution : Ilexolved , By the senate , that the presi dent of the United States IB requested to demand of the government of Spain a state ment as to the truth of the charges made In a letter published In the newspapers pur1- portlng to be from Senor Gomez , late editor of the La Luchn , a newspaper published In Havnifa , that he bud been tortured while confined In a dungeon on the bare ground , for two months In Coutn , the penal col ony of Spain , to extort from him evidence against Julius Sangullly , a naturalized citi zen of the United States , and subsequently killing the Mild Gomez ; also to Insist on a full report of the evidence nml all thp pro ceedings In the alleged civil trial of Julius Sanpiillly , In which It Is charged that the said SangulKy was condemned to Imprison ment for life nt Couta , on suspicion only and without evidence : also to demand the release of Chillies Mlchelton and Lorenzo Betuncourt. correspondents of New York newspapers , who nre charged only with entering within the Insurgents' lines to ob tain Information ; also to demand of Spain that all American citizens who shall bo captured by the Spanish troop ? shall ba treated a1 * prisoners of war anil bo ac corded humane treatment and to Inform the Spnnlsh government that the United States will Insist on this demand. Mr. Call read from newspaper extracts the reported barbarities perpetrated on Gomez and others. These set forth that the wife 'of Gomez .had received a letter from' him. written Infills blood , shortly before - fore ho died In the Spanish penal colony In Africa. The senator declared that Ameri cans serving In the ( Julian army were being fihot to death without , trlal. He declared that tHo' recent actfon of the , senate should bo supplemented by fcteps to secure humane treatment of prisoners taken by the Spanish troops. Mr. Sherman moved to refer the resolution to the foreign relations committee , which was agreed to. Senator Gear presented Senator Allison's credentials for the term beginning March 4 , ' 1S97. A resolution by Mr. Allen was agreed to , calling on the secretary ot the treasury for Information on the earnings of the Pa cific railroads from the time of their or ganization. The president's veto of the bill concernIng - Ing Arizona lands , with a report from the liouro that the bill had been passed over the veto In that body , was presented , and the. entire pubject referred to the com mittee on public lands. The bill waa passed to prevent the carryIng - Ing ot obrccne literature and articles de signed for Indecent and Immoral use from ona state or territory to another. The following bills were passed : Pro viding certain requirements for vessels propelled - polled by naptha , gas , fluid or other motors ; establishing ; a naval ) training station on Goat Island In the harbor of San Francisco ; authorizing the construction of bridge. ' } acrors the Missouri river between Its mouth and the mouth of the Dakota or James rivers , and other bridges ; also appropriating $11,000 to the Fort Donclson National ceme tery , Dover , Tenn. ; to authorize the St. Louis & Oklahoma City Railroad company to construct a railway through the Indian and Oklahoma territories ; for the promo tion of Commodores L.

The bill to prevent the desecration of the national flag was made the special order for Filday next at 2 o'clock. The house resolutions on Cuba were re ported , and , on motion of Mr. Lodge , were referred to the commlttne on foreign re lations.

The Spanish government took fiteps very promptly to make amends to the United States for the outburst of mob violence at Barcelona. This action , and especially ( ho fact that It was taken Immediately upon the news of the fact reaching the ucivcrnment nid | without waitIng - Ing for any ibuggegtlon from the United States , doubtless will tend greatly to relieve the situation and prevent u f-erloun outcome ot the mob's attack on our consulate. ' The Intelligence of tee disavowal by Spain reached the State department caily this morning in a cablegram from Mr , Hannls Taylor , United States minister at Madrid. The cablegram was dated ytstcrday and uuytj that the Spanish minister of state has ex pressed dcrp rcgict at the Barcelona affair , and baa offered complete reparation. The lUpatch adds that moisu have been taken to accord the United States legation protec tion. tion.Later Later Infcnnatlqr. shows that the cable gram from Minister Taylor reached Secre tary Olnty early yetterday evening , when he was olllclnlly advlxed of the Barcelona out break In the following cablegram from United States Mln'stcr Ilnnnls Taylor at Madrid ; "Mlnltter of state 1m * Just called to ex press deep regret that mob has Insulted Barrclo ta conpulate ; nu offered complete reparation. Ho Informed mo that the gov ernment on Its own motion has taken every precaution to guard the legation and my residence. I hnvii asked no protection. " It U perhaps In part owing to tteic olll- clal advices that the excitement In Spain over the action ot the United States tonate leading up to the Insult to the United States consulate at Barcelona falls to find a corresponding spending reflex In Washington , at least In iifllclal circles , and almcut everywhere the feeling Is generally that the affair la not one which nectfsarlly must lead to hostilities. From the terms of Minister Taylor1 * mes sage , it would ceem Hint either hlnuelf or United States Consul Boweu at ISarcetoua had previously cabled A brief statement o the Attack upon the consalate , but If to th cable could not bo obtained here for publl cation. However that may be , It Is ccrtali that Minister do Lome was curly Informo. of the trouble at homo and lost no Urn yesterday In communicating to Becretar Olncy the facts with an assurance that hi government could be relied upon to do every thing that the proprieties required to Man for the Intuit offered to our consulit * . 0 course President Cleveland was at once ad vised of the state of affairs In Spain , and later In the evening Secretary Olney com numlcated the facts to a few members a the cabinet at his own house , where they had gathered for dinner. The best Indication that no serious troubl Is expected to follow the Barcelona Incldcn Is afforded by the course of affairs In the Navy and War departments , where1 , till morning , all Is quiet , without theallghtci sign of preparation ot ships or troops o military stores which might be expected I It were fell that an emergency existed. The prompt action of the Spanish govern nunt In to completely meeting the demand of outraged International etiquette no doub Is the reason for the assumption by our gov err.ment of this serene and forbearing attl tudo , and In view of the thoroughness of the apelogy for the Inc'dent ' which was clearly without official sanction and Is chargeable to Irrerponslble students on a holiday , It Is Im probable that our government will take further notice of the affair , beyond Instruct Ing Minister Taylor to acknowledge In suit able terms our acceptance of the Spanish disclaimer. The news of the Spanish disavowal con tained In an Associated press bulletin sent to the capltol was read with Interest by senators and representatives. Senator Gra > ot the foreign relations committee Raid that course was the only one for Spain to pursue Ho added that It was not the place for the United States , a big strong nation , to be come excited over the ebullltlous ot the people ple of Spain , but calmly and dispassionate ! ) to do our duty without regard to anythlnr that might be done by the people ot certain communities In Snnln. UNITED STATES IS TO BLAME. WASHINGTON , March 2. Scnor de Lome the Spanish minister. In the course ot an interview here tcday , said ; "The rebellion In Cubi would never have been a serious matter nt all bad It not been for the- Inter ference of the United States. It never wouli have passed the limits of a mere riot had II not been for the money , supplies , arms and men that were sent from this country. Men have gone from this , country- with the as surance that the United States would gram belligerent rights to the Cubans and In all probability send a fleet to Cuban waters to support the Insurgents. tA no tlmo have the authorities In this country given the nltuatlon In Cuba a fair Investigation to ascertain what the facts actually arc. H has been fald that all Cubans are Interests In the rebellion , but the truth of the mat ter Is that there are seven Cuban generals and several hundred Cuban officers fighting In the Spanish army in uuna. in fact , i am sure there are more Cuban officers in the Spanish army than there are while leader : among the Insurgents. " PIIRSN COMMENT FKO3I AIIUOAI ) . IncIliM-d ( o Think Wnr IH dnltc I.IUolj ( u Of.'i'iir. LONDON , March 2. The afternoon news papers of thlo city today comment freely upon the Cuban situation. The Globe says : "American common sense Is again beginning to chill American chauvin ism. Under Its refrigerating Influence there has been a tardy prcccptlon ot the possi bility of war when any nation declines to submit to the bullying of the American Jingo. But , less heroic methods than resorting to arms are apt to be brought to play. There Is no question that the Spanish people arc resolved to fight to the death rather , than quit their hold of Cuba at American bidding , Nor would they be blameworthy If In such an unequal contest , ihey resorted td'prlvateer- Ing to destroy American occan-b'arn com " ' merce. The St. James' Gazette remaffis : "If Spain and , the U/ilteiStates , go to war , it does not followthat , the Americans ( will have euch a mere walkover as they anticipate. The fall In the 'price ' of American "slocks telle Its own tale. American commerce would be a fine bait for Spanish privateers and the capture of Cuba would hardly compensate for such damage. American commerce would feel the results not only on the Atlantic , but In European waters. "The prospect of Spanish privateers recalls that ono of America's political chickens la coming home to roost. Spain followed America's example in refusing to recognize the abolition of privateers. Thus not even the ollght obstacle of International agree ment exists to prevent the Spaniard from equipping a swarm of steamers to prey upon American shipping , which the Americans threaten to dote thu British If they are ever at war with the United States. " The Westminster Gaze4to says : "Con gress , In the Cuban business , is taking the caurso to be expected In view of the excite ment upon the part of Spain and upon the part of the United States. A large rectlon of the public Is beginning to wcndcr whotlnr the senate has not been too precipitate. The president and the executive are carefully 'lying low' and saying 'nuflln. ' and arc sub ject to party prospects at the approaching election which Is permeating every discus sion ot the International eltuatlon , all of which Is entertaining , but it Is not war. " The relations between the United States and Spain over the Cuban question continue to occupy a largo share of attention and the newspapers of all classes comment on the situation. The editorial of the Times on the subject says ; "Some people might think Mr. Hilt's resolution more offensive and bellicose than the senate's , but the point Is of little con sequence , considering the largeness of the majorities and the rapidity with which the resolution .was adopted , almost amruntlng to precipitancy. Our correspondent ascrlbca this haste to the Barcelona disturbances. But Spain apologized for these with a iromptltudo worthy of a Chamberlain ( re- Terrlng to Colonial Secretory Chamberlain's attltudo on the question nf the Jamoson ralu into the Transvaal. ) "President Cleveland has now to decide whether it Is safe to disregard the concur rent resolution. We may suspect the Cuban agitation of being to some extent factitious iccauso of the large financial Interest In volved pud the president , daring to disre gard the present clammor'might a little later ccclvo the country's thanks. On the other land , America Is man'festtng ' a tendency to activity In foreign affairs wholly alien to heir past traditions.

Spain baa undoubt- dly noted that the sudden outburst of.Amcr- can zenl coincides with the Spaniard's drat aal success against the rebels , and It nay Infer that It Is the best policy o redou'ile the energy s largely liown and confront Us opponents with accomplished facts. It * seems highly Im probable that the Spanish ministry should are to suggest yielding to a foreign dicta- Ion , Should President Cleveland decide pen mere peremptory action , there Is every e-ason to anticipate a war , which may prove nuch more trouble than the Washington olltlclans expect. Spain may have little nance of inflicting a decisive defeat upon be United Slates , but It IB doubtful whe'ther ho United States can Inflict a decisive de- cat on Spain , without an expenditure far greater and more prolonged than entered nto the * calculations of the sympathizers vlth the rebels.

" VERDICT FQR MRS , STANFORD Supreme Oojjrt { lands Down a Decision i tbo Gpntral Pacific Case. RULING OFH LOWER COURT AFFIRMED rvi > < iiiniitc fur tliij DiliIof Onl > ill nil , OIir Opinion * ilimiU'd HIMVII. WASHINGTON. March 2. The supreme court today decide 1 the Stanford case In favor , of Mrs. Stanford The title of MX caw la the United States against Jaro L. Stanford , executrix ot I.c- land Stanford , ' deceased. It Involved the individual liability of stockholders In the Central Pacific liallway company for the debt duo to the United States on the bonds Issued In aid of the Central 1'aclflc under tbo California constitution. Mr. Stanford held 144,387 shares of the Centtal Pacific stock , and It was claimed by the government In Instituting Us suit thai the government was entitled lo celled $15,237,090 from the estate. This contention wag resisted by Mrs. Stanford - ford on the ground that the California con stitution was not self-ruling , and also on the plea that It was tbo Intention of congress hi granting aid to Iho Central Pacific com pany to put It on a footing different from the footing on which other government-aided roads were placed. The case was brought originally In the circuit court of the California district , where tbo decision was favorable to Mrp. Stanford , and was then appealed to the circuit court of appeal ? for the { ' 'tntli district , where the decision was also against the government. The government appealed to the supreme court , and as soon as the case waa docketed moved to have It advanced for hearing. This * motion being granted the argument was made during January , eminent counsel appearing on both sides. The suit haa attracted great attention from Its Initiation because of the effect the decision will have on other Central Pacific stockholders and also because the fortunes of the Stanford university will bo determined largely by the decision. Justice Harlan delivered the opinion'In ' the case. He held thai Individual stockholders were nol liable for Ihe government debt of the Central Pacific company. Ho said the congressional acts of 1SG3-6I-C5. regarding the Pacific railroads must all be regarded as use lavis * the object was the construction of one continuous line , congress employing the different railroad companies only as In struments. Security wa given in the govern- ment mortgage on tne property of the rail road companies. It was , he said , not too much to say that If In the building of the Northern Pacific , 'for ' Instance , the stockhold ers had bccii'made liable the purpose of con- grem to secure national highways would- liavo been materially retarded , and It was plain that no obllqatlou was meant to be put on one company that was not put on the other. Any other construction would be In consistent. The decision of the court below was therefore. ' affirmed ; INTfiNbEf ) AS ONE UN 13. The opinion proceeded entirely upon the theory that the Pacific railroads were in tended to constitute a continuous line and that the government was protected by Its mortgage upon 'these roads. It is admitted In the opinion ntjiat the security was im paired by thp.act. of 1SG1 , subordinating the government lien to the first mortgage , "but. " Justice Harjan says , "If Hie act of 18(52 ( , fairly Interpreted' , excludes the Idea that stockholders , of tl o companies receiving sub sidy bonds were.to bo personally liable to the United States , for the principal and In terest accruing on their bonds , the legisla tion , of 186lnlowevcr | unwls ; . did not have the effect ofi imposing such liability. " The fact -jliAt none of * the Pacific acts cpntain a clausp3inposlng | personal liability Is commented junm.as Important. It was co-mpetenti fnrt/cojigfess to pcovldOMfor such liability , "buti as It did mot'do so , It can not bp claimed , nor Is It claimed that ths stockholders of that corporation Incurred by their subscriptions cf stocks atry , liability to the United States , or to any other cred itor of the Union. Pacific or kindred corpora tion. They were bound , of course , to mak ? gjiod the amount of their subscriptions. But that being done , their personal responsibil ity to creditors of ths corporate body ceased. Congress , by Its legislation , en couraged and Invited the Investment of pri vate capital in the construction of a high way , which , at that time , was deemed of vital Importance to the whole country. " Uuslng ths Union Pacific as an illustra tion , the opinion continues : "As the stock holder of a corporation Is mot liable , be yond the amount of his unpaid subscriptions , for Its debts , until such liability Is Imposed by statute , and as the acts of congress In question are silent on that subject , every subscriber to the stock of the Union Pacific must bo deemed to have , beconio such upon the condition prescribed by law , that he would not bo personally liable- for the debts of the corporation , It is inot too much to say that If the acts of 1862 and 18G4 had made the stockholders of the corporations therein named personally liable. In proportion tion to their stock , for the repayment of the principal and Interest of the bonds Is sued and delivered to such corporation , the accomplishing of the objects which congress had In view would have been seriously re tarded , | f not wholly defeated. " CONTENTION OP THE GOVERNMENT. "It 1 raid , however , lliat these principles have no application to stockholder ? ! of Cali fornia corporations that came Into exist ence under statutory provisions , making a stockholder of a railroad corporation liable. In proportion to hjs stock , fu- Its debts and obligations. This position cannot bo BUS- tained except upon'the theory that congress Intends to take a larger security In respect of that part of the Pacific road which the California company undertook to construct and maintain than It took in respect of the Union Pacific railroad. Hut It cannot bo Inferred from the legislation of congress that It Intended , for the protection of the Interests of the United States , to Impose a heavier liability upon the stockholders of the California company than was Imposed upon the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad company. Why should It have no Intended ? Why rhould it bo supposed that congress would purposely make It more difficult to construct cne part of the proposed national highway than another ? The supreme premo end sought to be attained was , by means of private capital and governmental aid , to secure the construction of the whole line for the benefit , primarily , of the United States , and'"ftfrtho ' use of all the peoplo. If , Instead rif making use of the Central Pacific rallrMd of California , congress had Itself create41"Ja Oorporatlon with authority to construct'l'a i6ad from San Francisco , through the territories of the United Statoo to meet tliotnuiQi ) Pacific Hallway company , no ono would" ousgest that the stockholders of such a corporation would have been liable fo.l Its delitp , unless ) conRroai expressly Imposed liability ! upon them. " The opinion BOBS on to say that to Im pose an obligation upon the California cor poration , noti Imposed upon the Union Pa cific , would bo Inconsistent. Justice Harlan was partlcular a" state that the question of whether tlu\stocUlioldors can ba made ' liable for Itf'delits to the United States , arising In romoi other way than under the Pacific railroad acts or by the acceptance of the Unltk ( States bonds In aid of the construction of , , y d road ? , Is not Involved in tlilo capo. .Nor , are we , " ho continued , "to decide whether the adoption of the Call * fornla corporation na an Instrument of the national government In accomplishing a na tional object , exempted Its stockholders from liability under the constitution and laws of California to ordinary creditors.1' ONK RULE TO BOTH. Reference Is made In the opinion to the obligation ot the Pacific railroads to pay the United States bonda at maturity , which obligation , the opinion holds , affords "cogent reasons , " apart from the words of the act cf congress , why a rule should not be applied to the stockholder ? of the Central Pacific Railroad company , which confessedly cannot be applied to stockholders ot the Union Pacific RallHwfl company. Though the cor porations part'clpatcd ' In the execution of the purposes of congress , each received franchises and powers from the federal .government to bo exerted for objects of national concern. Although the Central Pacific railroad of California b'ecamo an artificial being uuJer the laws of that atnte. UK road nwei IM exist ence to the national government , for nil thai * n accomplishes ! was In the crcrcU-n of privileges granted by and because of tha aid derived from thefulled States. A brief argument Is then en'ered ' upon to show thai the Central Pacific accepted the conditions Imposed by the government and to phew that rational aid was neces sary to Its construction of Ihe line , thus plac- IPB It alMi In this respect on the same foolIng - Ing as the I'nlon Pacific. The opinion con cludes a ? follows : "Tho relations between the California cor poration and the stnto were of no concern to the national government at the time the purpose was formed to establish a great highway ncrosi thu continent for govern mental and public use. Congress chor. * this existing artificial being as an Instrumen tality to Bccomplloh National eiulM and the relatlcpg between the United State ? and that corporation ought to be determined by the enactments which established those rela tions , ami If these enactments do not ex pressly , nor by Implications , subject the stockholder * of tnich corporations to liability for Ito doh8 } , It Is to bo presumed that con gress Intended to waive Its right to Impose nny tnich liability , The views we have ex pressed render It unnecessary to consider nny other question In thecase. . We are of the opinion that the bill filed by the United States wa& properly dismissed , and that the order of the circuit court of appeals affirming such dlmnlssal was correct. The Judgment Is therefore affirmed. " Justice Gray declared the opinion of the Court In the case of Mrs. Amanda W. France against John W. Connor and W. R. Brown. The case came to the United States supreme court from the Wyoming supreme court and Involved the question as to whether the right ot do er conferred by the Edmunds act upon widows In Utah applied to other territories. The Wyoming court decided that II did not and Justice Gray's decision confirmed thai view. Chief Justice Fuller handed down the decision of the supreme court to day In the Negates land grant case from Southern Arizona , lie did not g ] Into thu general merits of the case , but alllMned the decision of the court of private l.ind claims on the ground that the court had no Jurisdiction as the grant had not hcn located at the tlmo of the Gadsdcn treaty. Justice Brewer rendered the decision of the supreme court today In the case of Samuel Marks agalusl the United State ? and Ban nock Indians , Involving a claim for Indian depredations. The decision Involved the con struction ot the part of the statute ot 18U1 concerning depredations committed by In- di-tiis In "amity" with the United States. The case was appealed from the decision of the court of claims when It was held that the words "In amity" mean a state of actual peace and when no hostilities are In progress. The supreme court took the same view , af firming the decision of the court below. The case Is a test onu and the decision Is favor able to the United States. Justice White announced the decision of the court In the Elmlra Savings bank case. This case was brought to the supreme court on a writ of error from the New York state court of appeals by Mr. Charles Davis , receiver of the > Elmlra National bank. The question In volved wab whether the deposits of a savings iank In a failed national bank could be given preference over other deposits , in ac cordance with a state law. It was decided against the state law , giving preference to savings bank deposits , and putting them on the same footing as other dopoUts. Decision of the court below reversed.

Attorney Gen eral Harmon today sent the following let- , er to Chairman Powers of the house coin- nlttec on Pacific railroads : DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE , WASH INGTON , Fel ) . 2S. 1S90. To Hon. Henry Powers- , Chairman of Committee on Pacific ilnllroads. House of Representatives : S r 1 have the honor to acknowledge thu re ceipt of your letter on the ffith Inst. , en closing resolutions adopted by your com- r.lttue requesting my views upon the ques tions therein put , and to submit my answer thereto as follows : Kir.'f Question Whether the officers and llre'ctors of the' bond-klded Pacific rnl'roads ncurrod nny liability to the United States > > the unlawful Issue of the stock of bald companies. Answer If the officers and directors of any company knowingly made or permitted any unlawful Issue of the stock thereof , they become personally hanle to the com pany , or to Its lawful stockholders , but not to the United State" , which wut merely a creditor. The rights of cerdltors cou'.d lot be affected by the improper issue ot stock , which merely represents the prop erty of the company , but does not dlspoae of or encumber It. Second Question Whether the snld officers and dlrectois In urrcd any liability to their eEpectlvc companies or to the United States 'or the prollts on contracts made with them selves , or persons representing them for lief on-Urtictlon oC said railroads. Answer If olllcers unit directors mnde contracts with themselves or persons repre senting them , to their own profit or the letrlrncnt of the company , they become iable to it unless such contracts were cnowlr-gly authorized or ratified by a nm- oilty of the directors having no interest herein , or by the stockholders , but they are lot become liable to the United States. Third Question Whether the United States , as a creditor of said corporations can maintain actions in their name ngalnst said parties for the enforcement of said lability , It If exists , until all remedies to enforce payment of the debts owing by he said companies to the United States lave been exhausted ? Answer It wns held In Iho case of the Inlted States ngalnst the I'nion Pacific Railroad company , familiarly known as the Credit Moblllor case (98 ( U. S. , p. 553) ) , that such liability was to the respective com- ianle only. The United Status could not maintain nny action thereon against the Biillty parties , but could assert the rights of the company , by n pioper milt In equity as a creditor nml would not bp bound first 0 exhaust other remedies , If n showing vero made of i > robnhle loss by clelnv. Fourth Question Whether , If such 1 ability exists , the United States will be lint red In my action which might be brought for he enforcement thereof by the statute of limitation' * , which would bar the com- mnles If the actions were brought In their lame and behalf. In other words , whether IIP United States would bo entitled to maln- aln actions as creditors of said corporations ngalnst Its creditors and officers , which he corporations themselves could not maln- An'swer AB the United States would be merely asserting the rights of the com- mny'H nssptto bo applied to the payment of their creditors , any statute of limitation vhlch would bar the companies would also jnr the United StnteH. Fifth Question Whether the facts found and stated bv the Pacific Railroad commls- loners of 18S7 , In tholr report to the pieKl- ent , nro supported by evidence legally nd- mlssable In a court of Justice ? Answers-if the questions moan to ask f the ovldencs before the Paclflu railroad ommlshlon , upon which they founded the nets stated In their report , would be ad- nlfrablo In a suit &r action fictwcen parties n a court , I answer generally that the tatcments made by any witness would be dmlssablo ngalnst him , but not ngalnst ny other person , nnd that original douu- nentH would be admlssable or copies under ho usual rules relating io secondary ovl- ence. With thin exception , the evidence vould not be udmlsab e. I do not umler- tatid the quertlon to nslc for my opinion vhcther. If the commissioners had applied egal rules of evidence , the testimony should invo been admitted. 1 liavo fully answered the questions ns I nderstnnd them uml have the honor to be , ery respectfully.

The Kmplre Athletic club house wns filled tonight by an enthusiastic crowd , many of whom ctunn n Icng way to see the two bouts which were on the program. Tim Hurst acted as referee. The principal go was the- twenty round con test at Id pounds between Tommy Ryan of Syracuse nnd Charley ( Kid ) McCoy , late cf Memphis , but now a resident of Astoria , L. I. The minor bout was an clght-round mill at 125 pounds between Larry Burns of Cohoes and Jack Downey of Brooklyn. At the end of the eighth round honors were even and the bout was declared a draw. The event of the evening wns then called. Ryan Jumped Into the ting at 0:55 : o'clock , accompanied by Charley White , Kid Lavignc. Sam Fltzpatrlck and Tom Crawley ot Syra cuse. McCoy followed thirty seconds after wards , accompanied by StoveO'DonncI , Moi-rlcc Hagerstrom and "Brooklyn" Jimmy Carroll. The1 betting was all In Ryan's favor. The men shook hands nl 11:05 : o'clock. There wns a lively fight on from the call of time. In the first round Rynn rushed the fight ing , but both men landed several light ones. Fast fighting followed In the second and third toumls , both men landing frequently , though at the close of both rounds "Kid" was chasing Ryan around the ring. In the fourth roi'tid neither man had any advantage. Both began rushing In. the fifth round , lanJIm ? right and left on body and face. The round closed with Ryan racing around the ring with McCoy hitting him right and left until Rynn fell. Ryan began the sixth round by continuing the lace arounj the ring until he fell down. McCoy fell on top of him. When they were up again McCoy landed his left on the neck and the right nnd left on the face and wns cheered by the crowd for his clever work. Ryan attempted to rush and McCoy got In a left hand jab In Hie nock and a straight left on the face. In the seventh round honors were about even , though near the clone McCoy slipped t one knee nnd took his time In getting up. uoth men fought furiously in the eighth. After nn exchnngo of blows on the face Mc Coy put in four straight lefts on Ryan's body and Ryan got in a hot right on the wind. In a mlxup McCoy got his right and left to Ryan's neck nnd his left on the Jaw. McCoy landed his left hard on the chin nnd Ryan went to his knees. There was loud cheering for McCoy. In the ninth Rynn rushed and McCoy hit flush on the face twice. McCoy landed right nnd loft on the face and fought Ryan all over the ring. Ryan fell from the effects of a rlqht hnnd blow on the head. McCoy rushed some and tried to land a knockout. The kid punched Ryan right and left on the fnc and body and had him bleeding from thr mouth and car at the end of the rounJ. McCoy opeuul the tenth round by Jabbing Ryan right and left on the faca and neck. Ryan then received some fearful blows right and lefl on the face and jaw. It looked as If McCoy would put Ryan out with a right and left hand smash , but the gong still found Ryan on his feet. In the eleventh McCoy kept up his right and left hand jabs. Ryan's face was all puffed up and his mouth was bleeding pro fusely. McCoy was as clean as when they began nnd there was not a mark on his face or body. Rynn managed to get In a right on the neck , but McCoy had It nil his own way. McCoy led In the' ' twelfth with right and lot' on the head and then sent hs ! left twlcs very quickly on the neck and his right on the face. Right and left hand swings from McCoy on Ryan's face made the Syracuse man groggy. McCoy knocked him down with a right hand upper cut. Ryan staid down nlno seconds. He hugged McCoy until the end of the round. In the thirteenth McCoy landed a right hand upper cut on the neck and put his left on the side of the head. McCoy kept chas ing Rynn around the ring and lilt him on the head and neck repeatedly. In the fourteenth round , after exchanges on the body , McCoy jabbed bis loft twice on the body and his right on the Jaw. Ryan ran away once more , but McCoy cornereJ him. McCoy sent his left twice to the wind and his right and left an the neck. In the fifteenth and last round McCoy jabbed his left three times on the wind and swung his right on the head , and after this It was all over. He landc.1 a left on the .Jaw and Ryan went down at the ropes. He iot up as the referee counted ten , but It was his last attempt , as McCoy scut his right ind left on the face and Jaw , putting Ryan down and out. He tried to get up , but ho was done for , and the referee counted him cut. cut.Ryan was carried back to his corner In a badly battered condition and had to be helpad out ot the ring ; Referee Hurst de clared McCoy the winner amid the- cheers ami yells of the spectators , who fairly lionized Iho kid , ljAYHI ) THIS Vn li < lit l > l < < kfil MuAVIniiiTM lit All but I IK- Fourth HilL-e.
