Italians Ilcfusi ! to Others the Hlghts
They Claim for Themselves.
TANOIBII , Juno 2. [ Special Cablegram to
, THIS BBC. ] Three men from Drua , who wcro
flvo months in irons in the prison at Tangier
without trial , on suspicion of connection
with the robbery at the house of the Ilalinn
charge do affaires last autumn ,
and who were severely bastinadoed
to Induce them to confets lo appease Iho de
mands of Italy satisfaction , uro still un
able to obtain compensation , though the real
author of the crime has confessed nml Is In
prison. The way in which the truth came
out Is interesting. A robbery was recently
committed at the house of ono of the
chief Moors of Tangier and next
morning a slave was found in the street suf
fering from an Injury to his ankle , which
prevented his reaching his master's house.
It was afterwards ascertained that ho was
the thief who had hurt himself in jumping
from a roof. Ho and his master were forth
with taken off t > prison , the latter
being placed in the lobby only. Under the
bastinado the slave offered to confess all his
robberies , and among them owned to that of
the Italian's house , which was carried out
with the assistance of a Spaniard. In con
sequence ho is now lying in irons in jail and
his master has paid S,000 ! damages to the
parties robbed. It will bo remembered that
it was this simple matter such as occurs
daily in every city in Europe which gave
occasion for such alarming telegrams to bo
sent all over the world about the insecurity
to life and property hero , and caused the
Italian government to ruvo about iron cluds
and reparation.

people of St. Paul at 8 o'clock thld morning.
The work proceeded without serious hin
drance In all the uptown wards , there being
very few refusals to answer questions ns lo
mortgages and chronic diseases. Enumerators
for the "Bohemian" finis and Swcdo hollow ,
occupied moslly by foreigners , gel along very
slowly , Iho Impression among Iho denizens of
thcso localities being that the information ob
tained would bo used to oust them from their
homes , as Ihoy nro simply squatters and do
not own the land on which they reside.
Supervisor Davengort of Minneapolis had
M5 men nt work. The day was rainy and the
count proceeded slowly. In three or four In
stances persons refused peremptorily lo an

MM. Campcau managed lo say that
they hud been poisoned nnd Iho
village physician was called. When ho
arrived ono little boy was 'lead and the

while the mother , grandfather and two little
girls and an infant but three months old ,
were In a desperate condition. Emetics

physician was successful in saving Iho lives
of three of Iho poisoned patients , although
the others , it is feared , are too far gone to
rally.
edncsduy old man Campcau went into
Iho woods to dig roots to make medicine for
a sick horse. He gathered a lot of various
kinds , including some which tasted sweet and
of which all the members of the family par
took. In n few minutes all wcro taken with
fearful pains. It was In this condition the
neighlior woman found them. The eldest
boy , about nine years of age , was dead , the
second boy hits since died and the doctor
says the old man and infant arc likelv to fol
low. It will bo a close cull with the other
three. The roots which the old man had
given them were "wild parsnips , " a deadly

CITV or MEXICO , Juno 2. [ Special Tele
gram to Tins BBB. ] The influx of Chinese
into the frontier states of the republic is pro
ducing marked alarm am ing the laboring
classes , moro especially among Iho gold and
silver mines resident in the districts invaded.
The newspapers of these localities have al
ready taken up cudgels in defense of their
Mexican patrons , staling that if there is no
restriction passed ou the yellow pests th o
same scenes that have occurred in the United
States will be repeated in Mexico. The
Chinese , It Is claimed , nro superseding Mex
ican miners and other laborers from the fact
that they will work cheaper than whites.
Many believe that the Chinese are landing in
the Irontier states of Mexico for the purpose
of making their way across the frontier line
into the United States. The general opinion
"
among Mexicans is that they "coma to take
Iho place of natives. If the Chinese continue
to arri\y in such numbers ns thev liavo ar
rived recently the re.ult will bj to benefit the
United States , because such action as has al
ready been taken by the northern republic
will be necessary hero.

This was really the first warm day of the
season and it had its effect on tha members
of congress. In the house there was barely a
quorum and business dragged along in a
monotonous sort of way. Warm weather is
a thing which tells very quickly on congress
men. Already , though wo have only had a
taslo of heat , they .have commenced to talk In
earnest about an early adjournment. A day
or two ago there wore all sorts of
rumors about congress being compelled
to sit until September or Octo
ber. Today senators as well as
representatives talked about their ability to
pass a tariff bill early next month and ad
journ before August at any rate.
Tho. caucus tonight showed the effect of the
warm weather. There was an evident desire
to shape matters for legislation , so that very
litllo will bo done except on bills of great importance
portance- . This will bo arranged so as to
take the slightest possible time. If the
weather continues hot for the next two
weeks Washington will bo almost de
serted ; the halls of congress will bo daily
withoul a quorum r-nd congress will almost
die of inanition. The mercury today went
up Into the eighties , and as Speaker Heed
mopped his great round face ho said the
house would bo ready to adjourn by tlio
Fourth of July , but he did not think the sen
ate would bo through by that time.
MILLIONS IIiiIINI ) THEM.
A party of importers and merchants from
Boston , New York and Philadelphia , who
are alleged to represent a capital of 3iOO,000-
000 , are on their way to Washington on a
special train , to protest before the committee
on ilnunco against the increased duties
upon certain imported goods , particu
larly wearing apparel and other fabrics.
These gentlemen , coming as they do , repre
senting the enormous interests that have
sent them , will receive a respectful hearing
even if they do not accomplish their purposes.
There is a disposition on the part of Messrs.
Aldrlch , Allison , Hiscock and Jones , who
have the bill in hand , to reduce the rates
llxed by the house committee as lar as can
possibly bo done without impairing the pro
tection of American labor and capital.
There is to bo a struggle in the house be
tween the coni vittco on judiciary and the
committee on cSsiincrco over the bill to pro
hibit the transportation of original packages
of liquor , as both will claim jurisdiction over
Iho subject. The bill relates to commerce
and for that reason should go to the com
mittee on commerce , but at the same time it
involves a very nice point of constitutional
law and for that reason should go to the
judiciary committee , which is supposed to bo
the best qualified to consider such a measure.
In the senate the bill was reported from the
judiciary committee and it is probable that
the same course will bo ultimately followed
in Iho house.

TUB mitlOATIOX SCnVET.
The act of October 2 , 18S3 , making appro
priations for the irrigation survey required
that the sites for reservoirs , canals and other
irrigating works and the lands made suscepti
ble of irrigation by such works should be re
served from the time of tlio passage of the
act. The irrigable lands were reserved from
the operations of the desert land act , the tim
ber culture net and the pre-emption act , but
it can bo acquired us homesteads by actual
settlers only. The reservoir and canal sites
were reserved so that they could
not bo monopolized , but so' that they could
bo held as the property of the gov
ernment to bo used by the settlers them
selves. Heretofore water rights have been
acquired by irrigating companies who have
seized upon these sites for irrigating canals ,
have constructed the canals and charged Iho
farmers for the waters served to them. This
has caused great complaint among the farm-
el's , they alleging that the rates charged by
the companies were exorbitant , but they hail
the power to compel payment because they
owned the water rights.
it is thus that two parties are marshaled
ono In the interest of the farmers and
the other Inthe interest of the
water companies and with the specula
tors In the lands who have acquired
titles to largo tracts under the provisions of
the desert land act and other laws which are
now repealed , the indications nro that there
will bo a bitter contest in this matter before
this congress adjourns. An attempt will bo
made to repeal the act of 1SSS by which the
lands were reserved to homestead settlers. A
bill has been introduced for this purpose and
reported to the senate by Senator I'lumb of
Kansas. Senator Stewart is also a strong advocate -
vocato of its repeal. But the indications are
that they cannot succeed. There seems to bo
n strong sentiment in congress in favor of the
act of 18b8. The advocates of the repeal
allege that it is hindering the settle
ment of the country and that the opera
tions of the irrigation survey are so slow that
the process of agricultural development In
the west will bo greatly retarded. But it ap
pears from a report made by Major Powell
that he has already selected moro than ! ! ( ) . -
000,000 acres of these irrigable lands on which
homestead settlement can bo made , and that
ho has also selected several hundred reser
voir sites and many hundred canal sites
moro than enough to irrigate the ! } 0.)00,000 ( )
acres of land. It would thus appear tliul the
operations of the irrigation survey nro car
ried out with suftleent vigor for all practical
purposes of settlement in homestead tracts ;
but there is no doubt it will cut off specula
tion in the arid lands and in the water rights ,
upon which the agriculture of arid lauds de
pends.
BBl'AMU A ja'ISANCB ,
It has been the custom of the stnto depart
ment for several years to give travelers from
the United States letters of introduction and
recommendation to American ministers and
consuls abroad , but the secretary has been
compelled to discontinue this for several
reasons. In the llrst place Iho consuls com
plain that the bearers of such letters take up
too much of their time and also niako great
demands upon their pocketbooks in th--ay
of entertainment. On the other teud several
parsons to whom such letters 'z z < been given
Lave proved unworthy of Vo confidence re
posed in them and have msSc a great deal of
trouble for the consuls and the depart
ment of state. Bech endorsements
liavo been nearly c good as
letters of credit , as tus foreign merchants
and ofllclals cannot umlei-cUiul why the gov
ernment of the United States should give a
letter of commendation Vs a person who Is
not strictly honest. Then nro now several
caset of swindling by persons bearing thcso
letters pending Investigation and settlement.

A naval ofllccr respected and full of promise
In his career and very popular In social
circles appeared before Commodore Kamsay ,
acting secretary in Secretary Tracy's ab

his nearest friend , bo transferred from Wash
ington nnd given some , distant assignment.
The olllcer is married and has at present only
ono child , a little girl of three years. His
friend Is unmarried. The story can there
fore bo guessed. With tears in his eyes the
unh.appy husband told of his disgrace , never
suspected until yesterday. The erring wife
made n voluntary confession. For the
sake of his litllo girl , ho explained , he desired
lo avoid all publicity , atld therefore ho only
asked that the betrayer Of his wlfo should bo
removed from Washington. When a divorce
of the faithless woman- was suggested , ho
replied again that for the child's sake ho
would not enter the courts. For the snino
reason ho sought no pbrsonnl satisfaction.
His request for the transfer will , under the
circumstances , bo granted , it is stated.

Senator Paddock , upoh request , has been
Invcstlgallng whether members of the last
legislature could hold 'federal ofllces before
their terms of state service expired. An
order of the president was issued from the
department of state January 17 , 1870 , cud di
rected that persons holding federal ofllccs
should not accept or hold any olllces under
state or municipal authority , with certain
unimportant exceptions , und should they
do so It would bo deemed a vacation of the
federal oulccs held by them and would betaken

such federal ofllccr of his commission or ap

Heads-of departments and other olllccrs of

of subordinate officers' are requested to
take notice of this orderund to see to the en

CuiCAdo , Juno 3. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BEB. ] A row has arisen In the sctllc-
mcnt of tlio western passenger rate war. The
agreement was to go back to the bsisls In
effect December n , which allowed no street
commissions nnd a commission to ticket
agents of a ticket. The Wnbash over its
Niagara Fulls route , however , pays slrcet
commissions from St. Louis , as do all
eastern lines. This affects business between
St. Louis and Chicago , and the Alton claims
the right of paying the saino commission as
Iho Wubash. This will open up u big source
of trouble , which a meeting of the general
managers was today unable to settle. The
whole subject will bo fought In the passenger
meeting tomorrow which convenes for the
purpose of reorganizing the Western Stales
Passenger association. The annual meeting
of the Hock Island will bo held Wednesday
nml that of the Northwestern Thursday. It
is given out that both will show n great im
provement In earnings.
A Slush In TonniiKO Hates.
CHICAGO , Juno 3. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BBB. ] The central traffic lines broke
loose today with a slash in rates , which In
volves a tonnage on all grain nnd grain prod
ucts , except oats nnd corn , which nro already
on a 20-ccut basis. The basis was reduced to
J'JJa cents , n reduction of2 cents. This makes
a reduction to eastern points of 2,1- } ' cents
a hundred on the following : Wheat , flour ,
ship stuff , hominy , greats , screenings , hulled
corn , malted sprouts , farina , linseed meal ,
bran , corn flour , pear wheat , corn-meal , buck
wheat , oat hulls , malt skimming , ccrealiiio.
flux seed , rye , middlings , barley , cracked
wheat , pearl barley , shorts , ground corn , rye
flour , sprouted barley , potato Hour , sugar
meal , mill feed , grills , oat meal , brewers meal ,
cracked corn , milt , barley , sprouts ,
cotton seed , meal nnd buckwheat llour. Tlio
above action was taken because of the receipt
by Chairman Blunchurd of the Central Tnifllo
association of tlio following leller from Gen
eral Freight Agent J. H. McKay of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroad : "Tak
ing effect on Juuo ! ) , we propose to make the
rate ou wheat und wheat products from Chicago
cage to Now York 22' cents per 100
pounds with the usual differentials to oilier
seaboard points , etc. Wo have carefully con
sidered Iho question of the rate on wheat as
compared with corn , nnd as wo have but
little corn originating on the line of our road ,
and being in Iho wheat territory , wo feel that
the present difference in the rates on wheat
nnd that on corn is too much. " The Ictlcr
also requested a call lor the meeting held
today , at which all lines agreed to
make ttho rates announced. Another very
imporlant reduction was also made on
dressed beef rales which were lowered -15
cents per hundred to meet the rnto made bv
Iho Wnbash and Pacific lo Boston and
Now England points. This will almost
surely end iu a war iu dresseu
beef rates , as the new Wabash-Cnnadinn Pu-

WASHINGTON' , Juno 2 , In th ale today a

of the scnato. '
Among the petitions presented were two
from New Hampshire and Vermont ngnlnst
further concessions to the Paelllo railroads ,
and In favor of the government taking pos
session of them.
Mr. Plumb Introduced n bill prepared by
St. John of Now York for the purchase of
silver to use as lawful money. * Referred to
Iho committee on finance.
The resolution heretofore offered by Mr.
Spooner , culling on the attorney general for
Information us to the practice of the United
States courts at Fort Smith , Ark. , and Paris ,
Tox. , In regard tooffenscs In Indian Territory
was taken np , discussed and ugrced lo.
CMr. Dawoa gave nollco Hint ho would to
morrow ask the senate to consider the fortl-
flcalion bill.
The Culver bill was taken up and Mr. Mor-
rlll addressed the senate.
Olio said the wage earners of the United
States were to bo counted bytho million and
were the most numerous class of the country.
It was thai class 11 was now proposed lo pay
off In cheaper or depreciated standard money ,
nnd to require to pay higher
prices for everything they had
to buy. Could Ihcro bo anything , ho asked ,
moro likely in all parts of the country al an
early day lo provoke strikes for higher
wages. The silver miners of Nevada and
Colorado wanted everything about gold
struck out and simply sav , "Wo want -10 per
cent more profit. " Ho believed that by wise
and moderate- legislation a sufficient ninoun
of silver might bo used , and yet the bimet
allic standard bo maintained. Ho did not
want to have the United States divorced
from the commercial world , but that was not
the policy of these who led off in the debate.
Their transparent design was to go by a single -
glo bound to a silver standard. If the coun
try was to have but a sin. lo standard ho pre
ferred that the standard should bo gold
rather than silver. Ho would , however , llko
to have both maintained mid with the ex
pectation thai with the very liberal Increase
of silver and with good management on
the part of the treasury department the parity
of value could bo preserved , silver advancing
and gold receding somewhat in value.
Mr. Mori-ill argued against the proposition
to issue legal tender treasury notes ( in ex
change for silver ) as unconstitutional.
The conference report on the military
ncedemy appropriation bill was agreed to.
The conference report on the army appro
priation bill was again taken up , nnd the
question in regard to canteens was discussed.
' Mr. Allison , who presented the report ,
spoke in defense of it.
Mr. Halo predicted that if this canteen
system went into effect It would become so
obnoxious that it would last but a little
while.
Mr. Plumb suggcsled that the movement
against the canteen system was in the inter
est of post traders.
Mr. Halo said It was a serious and grave
question whether the United States govern
ment should now , for the llrst time , embark
in tlio selling of liquor to Its soldiers.
Mr. George remarked that if the proposition
could not bo made to apply to the olllccrs as
well as to the men , ho would vote to strike
the whole thing out.
Teller and Turple.
The silver bill was again taken up and Mr.
Harris addressed the scnato. Ho said ho
should vote for the free coinage of silver anil
if ho failed In securing that he should support
the nearest approximation to it that . ho might
bo ablo'tb secure. ' ' „ w -

The Original Pncli\KO Decision Not
Contrary to Precedent.
WASHINGTON , Juno 2. The report exten
sively circulated that a lawyer had unearthed
a decision made by the United States supreme
court a few years ago in which the court took
exactly opposite ground to that held In the
original package decision turns out to ho In
correct. There was an obvious distinction
between thcso cases. The case decided sev
eral years ago arose out of the tnxa-
Uon by n slate ofllccr of a cargo of
coal brought to Louisiana by ship ,
but before the real was taxed part of it had
been sold , so it was no longer "original pack-
ago. " Moreover , it is erroneous testate
state that the court nppors to
have overlooked Its decision in this case.
This Louisiana case was brought to the at-
tonllon of the court In the argument of coun
sel and was considered In the opinion of Chief
Justice- Fuller , who ahowed wherein Ihoy dif
fered.
