Sensible people nro laughing over the
prudish attack upon the music halls tnndo

That body sat again today and considered the
case of the Aquarium nnd the fair tmpezo
artiste Xaem , whoso rather too dceollctte
pictures on mammoth posters have been the
eyesore or delight of the people of the
metropolis , according to their opinions on
such subjects. The /act Is Znom Is an ex
ceedingly pretty woman and has been pic
tured ns ctheical , which is exactly what
today's protestors object to. Referring to
this poster sonio thin-skinned gentlemen
made abundant use of the words indecency ,
gnmncss and vulgarity. They contented that
the voluptuous sinllo and position of the
arms back of the head were calculated to
produce nn entirely false idea or the ncriorm
anco. An amusing scene occurred when several
oral learned counsel asked to bo shown the
much talkcd-of poster , as If they had not seen
it tlo/eiu of times , nnd forthwith n llfc-slzo
portrait of the charming lady In scant attire
was passed around nnd solemnly gazed nt by
\VRS ! over spectacles. Then they entered
into a loanied discussion over X.aem's smile-
was it or was it not immodest I Then her
'Jress was it a sufficient covering for such
superior charms I After much squabbling
among the sneakers and snickering among
the lookers-on , the committee came to the
same conclusion as yesterday in the cose of
the Eniplro : thnt Is , recommend granting
the aquarium's license for another year.
The recent sensational suicide at St. Paul's
has raised a curious question must or must
rot the cathedral bo reconsecrated after the
cad occurrencol According to ancient tradi
tions suicide in church deprives the building
of its sacred character , which must be
given to it again hy a now consecration.
Last year , when a Hungarian killed
himself in the cathedral of Timcsvar , the
edifice was closed until purifying ceremonies
Imd been performed , and the sama was true
when nn ageu verger hanged himself in
Ilochcstcr cathedral. Speaking today on
the subject , Archdeacon Sinclair said
the initiative rests with the dean , who
would , If ho thought best , take steps for a re-
coiibcenitlon. The question depended on
whether tbo man was quite dead when car
tied out of the building.
"If necessary , " it was asked , ' 'must the
ccrouiony bo held immediately } "
"No , It is not imperative. It will not in
terfere with the services , for these may beheld
hold in buildings licensed nnd yet unconso-
cratcu. The license , however , Is removable ,
nnd if taken tuvny the building could bo used
for other purposes. "
"If a rcconsccratlon ceremony Is held , Is It
likely to bo public I"
"I think not , " replied the archdeacon ; "My
opinion is that anything like a public cere
mony would bo entirely out of plnce , having
regard to the sad circumstance. If it bo held
I expect it will bo In tbo quietest manner
possible ; very probable , in the morning , whcu
few people are about. "
The London Times devotes Its chief leader
of over a column to the proceedings of the
American committee for the relief of famine
in Ireland. The writer says.1
Wo can assure this committee ; of American
politicians nud journalists that the famine
with which they hope to inijlu the Irish vote
has not yet been heard ot hero outside of the
columns of Mr. 1'arnell's papers , nnd those
nro not sources usually resorted to for facts
by persona familiar with their methods. The
appeal of the American committee is couched
iu the usual turgid magniloquence of truns-
Athuitlo electioneering literature mid , with
splendid consistency , ignores the existence of
this country. Its government and its people ,
and persists in treating Ireland as though the
fondest aspirations of the Clnn-na-Gael had
bocn accomplished and Dublin was already
the capital of an independent power
wholly dissevered from Great Britain ,
and united with ties of blood , friendship
nud political alliance to the United States.
The anthers of this rcnmrknblo manifesto , in
their feverish husto to anticipate the coming
elections , seem ID have forgotten thnt n very
largo number of persons on this Island are
very eager to grant every demand that Irish
men can make , nud that no party , creed or
section of iicoplo in Greet Dritain has over
dlspla ed interference In the alleviation of
the sufferings of its fellow-subjects. The
transparent truth is that tno f ramcrs of this
impudent and mendacious document are
bent not on charity , but on electioneering ,
'I'hey know perfectly well , as all the world
knows , thnt in the tcrriblo Irish famine of
nfc. „ . 1MB English aid and Knglish ulms were
poured freely Into Ireland. When the partial
failure of the \wtato crop took place in 1S7U
It was the wife of the English viceroy who
opened a fund In aid of the sufferers.
Liberal papers , on the other hnnd. are loud
in praises of the United States' spontaneous
action , the Star heading its article "America
Shames Us. "
In the current number of the Paternoster
Review , Mr. McU'heeny proves conclusively
that the potato crop In Ireland this year will
nitbjmaro than half as great as usual. His
llgurcs , which cannot bo controverted , speak
for themselves liottcr than miles of editorials
written by men who perhaps have ucvcr been
In Ireland or eaten a potato.

Prof. Geode , who yesterday explained his
system of classification , examined the so-
called Do Young classification , und before
the committee today saiit he approved the
most of it , and thought the dividing of the
agricultural department Into thrco great de
partments Instead of one , as ho placed It , was
a decided Improvement. Ho summed up
his whole criticism in the re
mark thnt the committee had made
n great intiny improvements on
his classification und if they would only re
arrange the department of science , literature ,

connection with the coming world's fair. It
Is the design of the director general to devote

visitors , and women and children may not
feel alarmed at the prospect of entering a
largo city with which they are unfamiliar.
'It will bo the aim of this bureau , " pursued
the director-general , "to treat strangers as
guests and make their stay hero pleasant.
Thev will bo accommodated according to
their means and sent homo to all parts of the
world with kind words for the exposition of

AllIZOXA'S COXMHTIOX ,
Annual Kcpnrt of the Governor with

WASHINGTON , Oct. 2. The annual report of
the governor of Arizona says the mining In
dustry is in a moro healthy condition than
ever. Great attention Is being paid to ngrl-
culture owiug to tbo productiveness of lauds.
The governor thinks restrictive legislation
in Idaho will cause nn increase of Mormon
immigration to Arizona. The number of
Mormons now In the territory Is estimated at
one-fifth of the population , and the report
states that unless restrictive measures nro
adopted' the territory will become Mormon-
Ized to such un extent as to seriously disturb
society- and the affairs of government and
prejudice the territory's chances for state
hood. Ho recommends , therefore , that the
goveinment grant the same protection to
Arizona as is enjoyed by Idaho nud that the
Idaho test oath bo made applicable to Arizona ,
and that the San Carlos Apaches bo removed
from the teraltory nnd the reservation bo
opened to settlement.

WASHINGTON D. C. , Oct. 2.
Secretary Noble rendered n very interest-
ng decision today , interpreting the law of
May 'M last In regard to the manner of mak-
ng proof on homestead applications. The de
cision is rendered on the application of ouo
Edward Bowkcr , by his attorney , to bo al-
owed to submit final proof on bis homestead
entry for land in Fargo , N. D. , In the state of
Nebraska , as ho at present resides there.
Secretary Xoblo says : "Tho only question
.nvolved In this case is the construction to bo
; ) laccd upon the act of May Ct5 , 1S90 , that por-
.ion of which provides that the proof of set-
.lement , residence , occupation , cultivation ,
rrlgatton or reclnhnation , the nftldavit
of non-allcnatlon , the oath of allegi
ance and all other affidavits required
bo made under the homestead
pre-emption , timber culture and dessert land
.aws may bo made before nny commissioner
of the TJnlten States circuit court or before
the Judge or clerk of nny court of record of
the county or parish In which the land ) are
situated , and the proof , affidavit and oaths ,
when so made nud duly subscribed to , shall
have the same force and effect as If inado be
fore the register nud receiver when trans
mitted to them and with the fee and
commissions allowed nnd required by
law. "Was it the intent" of congress
! " the " this
gress says secretary , "by
act to so far remove the submission of the"1
final proof f win the land desired to bo en
tered as to allow it to bo made before any
commissioner of the United States circuit
court , no matter how remote ho might reside
from the land , or was it only the intent to
provide nn additional ofllcer before whom
proof might bo submitted 1 While at first
view the words of this net might seem to
authorize the malting of proof before any
commissioner of the United States
circuit court beyond the limits of the
state or territory within which
the land is situated , yet I have concluded ,
after an analysis of the question , that the act
will not bear that interpretation. It appears
that it has been the constant policy of the
law to require claimants under prior laws to
go before the local officers in making proof.
The obvious purpose of this policy Is to se
cure the proper und convenient examination
of the matters submitted , and nn'Intention to
abandon this policy should not bo Imputed to
congress. If this statute In question
authorizes a claimant to maka his
proof before nny commissioner of any part of
the United States it reverses the settled
policy of congress in that regard. I find noth
ing in the history of the act to warrant this
construction. The report of the house com
mittee on public lauds defined the scope of
the bill as follows : 'The purpose of the bill
Is to authorize all affidavits and desositions
under the public land laws to bo made before
nnd certified by the commissioners of
the United States circuit court or clerks
of n court of record for tbo county
in which the land is situated.1 From this
history of the act I concluded that the pur
pose of this enactment was simply to desig
nate an additional or new ofllcer before whom
such proofs could bo taken and not to change
in any manner the provisions defining the
place before taking such proofs. The com
missioner of the gcncr.il laud olllco Issued a
circular Juno 25 , IbOO , calling attention to the
provisions of said act , which Interpreted the
section as follows : 'The paragraph iu question
refers to final proofs , etc. , to be made under
homestead and ! other laud laws ana provides
that said proofs may bo made before unv
commissioner of the -United States circuit
court having Jurisdiction over the county in
which the lauds are situated , or before the
Judge or clerk of any court of record of the
county in which the lands nro situated. '
This must bo read in the light of the moro
explicit interpretation now put upon the net ,
and must bo held to mean that the law does
not authorize the making of such proofs , etc. ,
before such commission outside of the county
and state or district nnd territory In which
the lands are situated. "
THE EXODU3 OP LEOISLATOnS.
The exodus of congressmen from Washing
ton within the last twenty-four hours has
been very rapid and trains going in every di
rection have had to bo divided into sections
owiufr to the extra cars. It now transpires
that there was not a quorum In either house
at any time yesterday , and any senator or
representative who had been Inclined could
have stopped legislation and prevented too
passage of the tariff bill and other
legislation that took place yesterday
during the closing hours of the day.
Everybody " was glad to go , for both
bouses were tired out.
The republicans have the right to call this
"tho business congress , " for more good work
has been done than nt nny previous session
for many years. But at the same time it has
been a very turbulent session , the worst since
the Forty-fourth congress. The feeling in
the house was so bitter that the usual resolu
tion thanking the speaker for his courtesy
and Impartiality was not offered. If any
thing of the kind had been attempted there
would have been an outbreak , and such a
compliment Is scarcely worth receiving If it
does not come with good feeling and unani
mity. But with all the turbulence and hard
language that has characterized the session
the only blood drawn was from the nose of
Mr. Olngloy of Maine , ono of tbo most In
offensive men In the house. Into whoso face
Mr. Klugoro of Texas kicked a green balse
door.
The public does not understand the magnitude -
tudo of the work done and the legislation en
acted by the session of congress just ad
journed and the embarrns mcnts under
which the republican majority rested. The
republican administration began on March 4 ,
lSsl > , succeeding Mr. Cleveland's admitristra-
tlon. With the exception of the Forty-sev
enth congress the democrats had controlled
tno house of representatives from the Forty-
fourth congress , a ported of twelve years ,
with only ono majority , ono moro
than a quorum. Under the practice
that had obtained foi a hundred years
of allowing members to bo present for the
obstruction of business nnd technically absent
to prevent a quorum it was confidently ex
pected by the minority that no legislation
would bo had during the session of congress
by the house except such as was enacted by
the consent of the minority. The act of tbo
speaker in counting those present to make a
quorum , in which ho was sustained by the
house , enabled the majority to seat contest
ing republican members who were
held to have been elected and
to transact the ordinary business
of the house. This covered a revision of the
tariff , the making of the ordinary appro
priations to carry on the government , addi
tional legislation touching the silver and cur
rency , additional pension legislation , anti
trust legislation , the passage of a federal
election law through the house , the meat In
spection bill , the admission of the new states
of Idaho nnd Wyoming nnd n great many
other measures of less note , but still all of
great Importance to different sections of the
country. Major McKlnloy devoted himself
sue > tantially during the session to the
preparation of the tariff Dill and
Its enactment , and it was finally written Into
the law substantially as the house under his
leadership passed It. The most Important
provision in the tariff bill is that placing
sugar upon the free list. Sugar had been
upon the protected list almost slnco the
foundation of the government. The duties
collected upon it during all these years In the
aggregate amount to Sl.MO.OOO.lXK ) and
amounted to from 70 to W per cent , according
to the price of tuo prcUuct. The
Mills bill two years ago maJo n
horizontal reduction x > f a ) per cent from the
supar schedule.At that tlrao Mr. Cannon
offered amendments 10 place sugar upon the
free list , The debate lasted for several days
nnd was very thorough nnd exhaustive. The
amendments mctwlth the combined opposi
tion of the democrats' , under the leadership
of Mills , Mvell M with the opposition of the
veteran protectionist , \Vllllnin D. Kclley ,
then n memUV of thd ways and
means committee. As the discussion
proceeded Mr.Cannon , Governor Gear ,
Colonel Henderson of Iowa nnd
othcw constantly made converts , but even
at the close of thO debate most of the repub
lican rcprobcutatlvea were opposed , doubtful
or undecided. When the ways nnd means
committee was Organized this session the
light for frco sugar was renewed. All the
republican members from Illinois nnd In the
main those from the northwest belli the same
views , and they may be said to have literally
forced free sugar in to the house bill. The
senate amended the Dill. As was claimed bv
the renublicans'Of the house , under the
leadership of Mr. Cannon , the senate
amendments gave free sugar to the refiners ,
but taxed sugar , to the people. The con
test was determined nnd bitter. Never in
the recollection 4of those who are familiar
with the history of national legislation wixs
thcro so determined nu effort made as thnt by
the refining interests of the United States
to pursue the advantage which they had
under the old law in the arrangement of the
sugar schedule. The adoption of the recip
rocity amendment by the senate proposed by
Mr. Blaine was'accomplished with greater
harmony than. was exacted when It
was first supgestsd. It was in fact
In the nature of a compromise between
the opposing Interests nnd ( fives at the same
time frco sugar to the people nnd nn oppor
tunity to accomplish by diplomatic negotia
tions a removal of duties upon agricultural
nnd mechanical products of tno United States
In the several sugar growing nations of Cen
tral nnd South America. It is believed that
this amendment will give the United States
the domination of the Central and South
American trade , and great hopes are based
upon it.

Some time ago attention was called In these
dispatches to the arrest in Germany of n
young man from Cleveland named Hnber-
acker , who had been sentenced to three years
in the German army for alleged violation of
military duty , although ho came to this coun
try with his widowed mother when less than
fourteen years of age. The state depart
ment officials at once directed the Ameri
can legation in Berlin to enquire
into the facts of the case and
to take such stops ns might
bo advisable to secure the release of tbo
young roan. A cablegram was received at
the department today from the legislation
which says that the case has been presented
and that an answer may bo expected within
ten uays. The outcome of this case is being
watched with great interest by nearly every
German society in the United States owing
to the fact that the points Involved are
unique and occauso no similar International
uestlon has arisen since the ratification of
ho existing naturalization treaty between
Germany and the United States. Still it is
generally thought that if the man is released
it will be through the courtesy of the Oerman
authorities rather than through any direct
right of the United States to demand the re
lease of Haberacker.

Atchison 1'lno Lamls Sold.
CHICAGO , Oct. 2. [ Special Telegram to
THE BEE. ] The Atchison road today sold to
Mitchell Brothers , the Michigan lumber deal
ers , 800,000 acres of pine land at Grant sta
tion , on the Atlantic fc Pacific. The amount
paid is a secret , but It is above $10 an acre.
The terms of the sale provide that Mitchell
Brothers shall at once build all tecessary
sldo tracks nn'd switches through the
tract and ship the lumber to ruaricet
as soon as possible. Of course It
will all Do shipped on the Atchi
son as far as possible. The value
of the consequent tonnage may bo approxi
mated from the figures of an ofllrlal of the
St. Paul road while speaking of the value of
the Milwaukee & Northern. Said ho :
"Much of the territory tributary to the
Milwaukee & Northern is timber land. It
tnay surprise you to learn that the output
from an aero of good plno land Is moro profit- *
abls in tonnage thnn an aero of ngricurltual
land Tor a hundred years. That is the reason
the St. Paul road Is extending northward
rather than across the Missouri. "
. .Should thaJtcrms of the contract-vrltli ,
Mitchell Brothers bo carried out litcraHyon < l
the standing pine ho . .madeInto lumber and
shipped as fast as possible , it may make con
siderable difference In the vexatious ques
tion of lumber rates as between northern and
southern points. Eight years ago differen
tial rates on lumber1 throughout the whole
west were established. The scheme as a
whole hns been maintained up to the present ,
with a number of minor changes ,
owing to the intense competition furnished
of recent years by southern pine. The inter
state commerce commission has now .nuder
consideration complaints of discrimination In
rates preferred byChlppewn Palls and Eau
Claire lumber dealers. It is expected that
the commission will order a reduction in rates
from those points. If It does , lumber rates
will go by the board until a new differential
scheme can bo arranged.
Western Passciijjcr Rates.
Cinciao , Oct. 2. [ Special Telegram to.
THE BEE.I The Western Passenger associa
tion today agreed not to apply the so-called
"exposition rates" to Chicago. The Missouri
Pacific has applied them to St. Louis , and
the Kock Island and Burlington have fol
lowed suit to Chicago. They agreed to
withdraw the rate tonight.
The throated break in rates from Dubuque
and other western points to Chicago will
probably not occur. The story originated
from the fact that the Chicago , St. Paul &
Kansas City road Is selling tickets from
Dubuque via Chicago to St. Louis at short
line rates.
General Passenger Agent Uuscnbark of
the Kansas City road says ho must sell at the
short line rate or go out of the business. By
the use of mileage tickets on the Illinois Cen
tral the rate Is § 9.10 , while the secret line rate
is S9.S5. There is an unavoidable scalp of
$ 'J on the-tickcts via Chicago , but it is only
one of thousands of illustrations where de
moralization occurs owing to a long route
quoting a short line rate.

Surprise Impressed at Its l
to the IMilillu.
WASHINGTON' , Oct. 2 _ Judge Sawyer , on
behalf of the majority of the K.iuin commit
tee , stated tonight to an Associated press re
porter that he learned with surprise that the
minority report had been given out , It was
well understood by the committee that the
evidence was not all in and the Investigation
not closed. Taking up the allegations in the
minority report one by one , Judge Sawyer
said that there was not ouo of the statements
that ho believed was berne out by the evi
dence , Incomplete though It was. As
to the list of stockholders , the
proof showed that Smyscr subscribed
alone for the stock and that the others Inter
ested with him made no subscription , AVIth
regard to Urndley Tanner , Commissioner
IUum's private secretary , the evidence
showed thnt at the outside ho had only writ
ten four or live letters on the refrigerator
company's business in the pension ofllco dur
ing ofllco hours. His association with the
District of Columbia branch company was
purely nominal , and the company Itself was
not yet brought into active existence.
Tanner's promotion was shown to have
been made In fulfillment of a prom
ise to Kautn's predecessor. With those
exceptions there was nocvldeneo toshow that
anybody employed in. the pension ofllco was
directly or indirectly the owner of any stock
in the refrigerator company. The majority
had carefully analyzed the testimony with re
gard to favoritism to attorneys and had
reached the conclusion thnt favoritism was
impossible. The majority of the committee
earnestly approved the orders establishing
the completed files system as expediting
business. They found that there was no evi
dence to show that the commissioner ever
failed to give tlmo and attention to the duties
which should bo expected of him. Judge
Sawyer romanced In conclusion that he gave
expression to what ho understood
to bo the views of the majority
with some hesitation because ho did not un
derstand that the investigation was yet
closed , but as the minority had seen fit to make
their statement to the public , ho thought it
only proper to do t > o. Asked in regard to
Lemon's endorsement , Judge Sawyer replied
that the evidence established thnt Lemon en
dorsed notes for General Katun to the extent
of $12,000 and received 03 collatetal 1,000
shares In the Gyssum mining company in
Virginia. The evidence was that this enter
prise had been brought to Lemon's attention
before Huum became commissioner. The
only evidence before the committee as to the
value of the shares was that ouo sale had
been made at $34 per share.
