WASHINGTON , D. C. , Doc. 9. Tne prsal-
- / dcnt's message wns transmitted to congress
ntnooti today. Following is the full text of
the document :
To the Sonata nnd House of Represen
tatives : The reports of the heads
of the several executive departments ,
required by law , to Uo submitted tome
mo , which are herewith transmitted ,
nnd the report of the secretary of
the treasury , and the attorney general
made directly to congress , furnish u compre
hensive review ef Iho administrative work
- of the lust fiscal year relating to internal af
fairs. It would bo of great advantage if
these reports could have an attentive pcru-
Ubul by every member of congress , and by all
who take an Inleicst In publlo affairs. Such
a perusal could no * , full to excite a higher ap
preciation of the vast labor and conscientious
efforts which are given to the conduct of our
civil administration. Tno reports , will , i
believe , show that every question has been
approached , consideredund decided from the
Biiindpolnt of public duty , and upon consid
erations affecting the public interests alone.
Again , I Invite to every branch of the ser
vice the attention aud icruuity of congress.
STATK DEl'Alt'CMKST.
It * Worlc OufliiK the hist Fiso hl Year
Irnr.t'.cx Made , 13to.
The work of the state department during
the last year has been characterized by an
unusual number of important negotiations
and by diplomatic results of a notabla aud
highly beneficial character. Among those
nro the reciprocal trade arrangements which
have been concluded in tbo exorcise of the
po\vers conferred by section ! ! , of the
tariff law , with tbo republic of Brazil ,
with Spain for Its West India possessions ,
nnd with San Domlnco. Like negotiations
with other countries have been much ad.
vanced , and It is hoped that before the closet
of the voar further definitive trade arrungo-
n.cnts of great value will bo concluded.
In view or the reports which had boon re
ceived as to the diminution of thu seal herds
in the Boring sen , I deemed It wlso to pro
pose to her mnjcsty'8 government In Feb
ruary last that nn agreement for a closed
season should bo made pending the negotia
tions for arbitration wnlcb then seemed to bo
approaching a favorable conclusion. After
much correspondence nnd delays , for which
this government wns not responsible , an
agreement was readied and bigued on tbo
15th of Juno by which Grout Britain under
took , tram that data and until May 1 , IS' ' ) . ' , to
prohibit the killing by her subjects of teals
in the Boring sea nnd tno government of the
United States during tbo same period to en
force its existing prohibition against polagio
scaling ana to Ilm tbo catch by the fur
seal company upon It tbo islands to 75,000
akins.
If this agreement could have boon reached
earlier , In response to the strenuous en
deavors of this government , It would have
neon more effective , but coming us Into as It
did , It uiiquostlonablyresultod in not greatly
diminishing tha destruction of the seals by
Canadian sealers.
In my last annual incssngo I stated that
the basis of arbitration proposed bv her
majesty's government for the adjustment of
the long pending controversv us to the seal
fisheries was not aocoptablo. I am glad now
to be able to announce that terms satisfactory
to this government have been agreed upon ,
and that an agreement as to tbo arbitrators
Is all that Is necessary to the completion of
the convention.
In view of the advanced position which
this government has taken upon tbo subject
of International arbitration , this renewed ex
pression ot our adherence to this method for
the settlement of disputes , such as have
arisen in tha Bering sea , will I doubt not ,
mcut with the concurrence of congress.
Boundary Disputes ,
Provisions should bo made for a Joint do-
maicatlonof tbo frontier line between Can-
mi a and the United States whenever required
by tbo Increasing border settlements , and es
pecially for the ovoot location of the water
boundaries In the straits and rivers.
I should have been glad to nnnounco somu
favorable disposition of the boundary dispute
between Great Britain nnd Venezuela. touchIng -
Ing the western frontier of British Gulnua ,
but the friendly efforts of the United States
in that direction huvo thus far been unavail
ing. This government will continue to express -
press Its concern at any appearance of for
eign encroachment on territories long under
tin ) administrative control of American
elates. The determination of a disputed
boundary Is easily attainable by umtcablo ar
bitration , where the rights of the respective
parties rest , as here , on historic facts , readily
useurtahmblo.
Pleat Inspection.
The law of the last congress providing a
BVHtoin of Inspection for our moats Intended
for export , and clothing the president with
power to exclude foreign produce from our
market In case the countrv sending them
should perpetuate unjust discriminations
nifulnst any product of the United States ,
placed this government lu a position to of-
fcoilvoly urzo the removal of such discrimi
nations against , our meats. It U gratifying
to bo. able to stnto that Ggrminy , Denmatlt ,
Italy , Austria and Franco , lu the ovdor
nnmed , have opened tholr ports to Inspected
American pork products. The removal of
these restrictions In every Instance wus
united for and glvon solely upon tha ground
that wo had now provided a meat Inspection
that should bo accepted as adequate to I lit
complete removal of Iho danger * , real or fan
cied , which had been provlotislv urged. The
itato department , our ministers abroad , and
the ftocrotary of agriculture have co-opo.-atod
with uullagglug and intelligent iaal for the
accomplishment of this front result. The
outlines of nu agroonicnt hava been reached
With Germany , looking to equitable trade
joucowlous iu conilUorntlpu ot the continued
free Importation of her sugars , but the tlmo
Lai not yet arrived when this correspondence
can bo submitted to congress.
lirnzlllnn Tr.iublc * .
The recent political disturbances In the re
public of Brazil bavo excited regret and
solicitude. The Information wo possessed
was too moftgro to enable us to form a satis
factory Judgment of the causes leading to
the temporary assumption of supreme power
by President Fonseca ; but this government
did not fall to express to him Its anxious
solicitude for the peace of Brazil and for the
maintenance of the free political institutions
which had recently been established there ,
nor to offer our advice that great moderation
should bo observed In tbo clash of parties
and the contest for leadership. Theio coun
sels were received In tuo most friendly spirit
and the latest Information Is that constitu
tional government has been ro-cstabllshod
without bloodshed.
of Italians nt New Orloann.
The lynching at Now Orleans In March
last of eleven men of Italian nativity by
a mob of citizens was a most doplorublo nnd
discreditable Incident. It did not , however ,
have its origin in any general animosity to
thc < Italian people , nor In any disrespect to
the government of Italy , with whlcn our ro-
lullons wrro of the most friendly character.
The fury of the mob was directed against
these men as tbo supposed participants or
accessories of the murder of a city officer. I
do not allude to this as mitigating In any do-
Itrco this offense against law and humanity ,
but only us affecting the International ques
tions which grew out of It. It WHS repre
sented by tha Italian minister that several of
these whoso lives had boon taken by the mob
were Italian subjects , nnd a demand wns
mudo for tha punishment of the participants
and for an Indemnity to the families of those
who were killed.
It Is to be rogrcttcd that the manner In
which these claims were presented was cot
such its to promote a calm discussion of the
questions Involved , but this may well bo at
tributed to the excitement and indignation
which the crime naturally evoked. The
view of tills government as to Its obligations
to foreigner * domiciled hcio , were fully
stated In the ccrrospondar.ee , as well ns Its
purpose to make nu investigation of the
affair with a view to determine * whether
there were present any circumstances that
coulO , under such rules of duty as wo bad
Indicated , create nn obligation upon the
United States. The tomporarv absence of n
minister plenipotentiary at this capital has
retarded tbo further correspondence , but It
is not doubled that a frlnndly conclusion Is
attMiiablc. Some suggestions growing out
of this unhappy Incident are worthy the at
tention of congress. It would , I believe , bo
entirely competent for congress to make
olTansos against the treaty-rights of foreign
ers domiciled in the United States cognizable
in the federal courts. This has not , however -
over , been done , nnd the federal oillcers and
courts have no power in such cases to Inter
vene cither for tho' ' protection of a foreign
citi/.en , or for thu punishment of his slayers.
It seems to mo to follow In this state of the
law that the officers of the state , charged
with the police and Judicial powers In such
cases must , In the consideration of interna
tional questions growing out of such inci
dents , bo regarded In such sense as federal
agents as to make this government answer
able for their acts In cases wboro It would
ba answerable If the United States used Its
constitutional power to define and punish
crime against treaty rights. '
Our KcliitioiiH with Chill.
Tno civil war In Chill -which began In
January last , was continued , but fortunately
with infrequent and not important armed
collisions until August 123 , when the congres
sional forces landed near Valparaiso , and ,
after u bloody engagement captured that
city. President lialrnaccda nt once recog
nized that his cause was lost , nnd a provis
ional government was speedily established by
the victorious party. Our minister was
promptly illrectcd.to recognize nnd put him
self In communication with this government
so soon as It should have established a do
facto character , which was done.
During the pendency of this civil contest
frequent indirect appeals were made to this
government to extend belligerent rights to
thu insurgents and to give audience to their
representatives.
This was declined , aad that policy was
pursued throughout , which this government ,
when wrenched by civil war , so strenuously
Insisted upon the part of European nations.
The Itata Affair.
The Itata , nn armed vessel comma. idoil by
a naval officer of tno Insurgent fleet , manned
by Its sailors nnd with soldiers on board , was
seized under process of tbo United States
court ut Sad Diego , Cal. , for n violation of
our noutrallty laws. Whllo In the custody of
an oflicor of tbo egurt the vessel was forcibly
wrested from his control and put to sea. It
would have been Inconsistent with the dig
nity nnd self-respect of this government not
to bavo Insisted that the Itata should be re
turned to Sin Diego to abldo tbo Judgment
of tha court. This was so clear to the Junta
of the congressional party , established at
Iqulquo , that before the arrival of tuo Itata
at that port the secretary of foreign relations
of tha provisional government addressed
Hear Admiral Brown , commanding the
United States naval forces , a communication ,
from which tbo following Is an extract :
The nrovIfilonM government has learned by
the cublourums of the Associated press that
thu transport HaUi. dotiilnud In San Diego by
order of tliu United States for taking onboard
munitions of war and in possession of the
United States marshal , loft the port , carrying
on board this olllul'il , who was landed ut u
point near the coast , and then continued her
voyauo. If this nuwa bo correct , thU govern
ment would deplore the conductor the Itatu.

support or aureu to the Infraction ot the laws
of tno United States , the underlined taltes

been good unoiuh to maintain with him Hlnco

that us soon assho Is within reach ot our or
ders this govorninunt will put the Itatu. with
the arms nnd munitions she look onboard In
Hun Dlcio , nt the disposition of the United
btUtCH.
A trial in tbo district court of tha United
States for the northern district of California
has recently resulted in a decision- holding ,
among other things , that , Inasmuch ns tbo
congressional party had not been recognized
as bolllgorants , the nuts done In Its Inter
est could not bo u violation of our neutrality
laws. Fiom this Judemcut tbo United States
has appealed , not that the condemnation of
the vessel Is a matter of Importance , but that
wo may know what la the present state of
our laws , for , If this construction of tbo statute -
ute Is correct , there Is an obvious necessity
for revision and amendment.
Kflbrts to Bring ; About Ponce.
During the progcss of the war In Chill , this
government tendered Its good offices to bring
about a peaceful adjustment , and it It wus ut
one tlmo hoped that a good result might bo
reached ; but , In this wo were disappointed.
The Instruction to our naval officers aud to
our minister ut Santiago , from the first to the
last of this struggle , enjoined upon them the
most Impartial treatment and absolute nou-
Inlorforoncc. I nm satisfied that these In
structions were observed and that our repre
sentatives were alwnvs watchful to use their
Intluonco Impartially in tbo interest of hu
manity , and on more than onaoccusion , did so
effectively.
We could not forgot , however , that this
government was In diplomatic relations with
the then established government of Chill , as
It is now In such relations with the successor
of that government , I am quite sura Presi
dent Montt , who has , undorclrcunistancos of
promise for the peace of Chill , bon Installed
us president of that republic , will not doslru
that , In the unfortunut event of any revolt
against his authority , the policy of this gov
ernment should to ) other than that which wo
have recently observed ,
No official complaint of the conduct of our
minister or of our naval officers during the
struggle has been presented to this govern-
men"and ; It is a matter of regret that so
many of our own people should have given
oar to unofficial charges aud complaints , that
manifestly had tholr origin lu rival Interests
and In a wish to pervert tbo relations of the
Untied States with Chill.
HlfhtH of Asylum.
Thu collupso of the government of Balraa-
ccda brought about a condition whlcti Is
unfortunately too fumlltar In the history of
tbo Central aud South American states.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Doc. 9. Notwith
standing the fact that the organization of
both branches of congress has been perfected
In Its main details and the president has been
Informed that they uro ready to receive his
communications , It still remains for the man-
ngors at each end of the capital to supply tbo
all-Important parts of tbo legislative ma
chinery tbo committees before the wheels
can bcglu to revolve nnd the Fifty-second
congress can begin to discharge Its proper
functions.
Already the managers in both branches of
congress are struggling with the problem of
how to accommodate each aspirant for n com
mittee assignment of his personal preference
without causing discontent and with duo re
gard to public policy.
Appropriations Committee.
In the senate the only contest likely to bo
expected Is ono relating to a committee of
minor Importance that on the library
where at least Senators Stoekurldgo of
Michigan , Dlxou of Hhodo Island and Wol-
cott of Colorado are anxious to succeed the
late chairman , Senator Evnrts. A struggle
h possible , however , over the vacancy on
the appropriations committee caused by Sen
ator Fnrwell's retirement , Inasmuch as a
place on this committee ls of much moro 1m-
portanco locally tnan on other committee , as
It Is supreme In the inattor of expenditures
of the public motioys , but beyond tno foot
that the committee will probably go to ono of
the far western senators there is no visible
determination.
Senator Mitchell , who has boon chairman
of tbo railroad committee for two terms , ex
pects to fill Senator Spoonor's place as chair
man of the committee on clajms , nnd ho Is
likely to got It without much opposition.
Senator McMillan of Michigan will prob
ably assume the chairmanship of the com
mittee on District of Columbia vacated
by Senator Inealls , but this may require him
to relinquish bis present chairmanship on
the manufacturers committee , which will
naturally pass to Senator Quay.
Senator Casey of North Dakota Is as good
as boouod for 'Senator Mitchell's present po
sition as chairman of the committee on rail
roads , as ho has had no chairmanship slnco
no entered the senate.
Possibly Senator Wilson of Iowa , -though
a member of several hurdworkcd committees ,
may oo induced to accept too chairmanship
of the committee on education vacated by
Senator Blair , as be stands next in .order of
promotion , but this will result In his holding
two chairmanships , and so , It may reason
ably be expected that this ratnor undesira
ble place will bo banded over to a now sen
ator.
Senator Hoar goes , by order .and by pref
erence , to the head of the Judiciary com--
mltteo , vice Edmunds , resigned. Senator
Teller takes his place as ch.atr.man of the
committee on privileges and elections. This
places Sanutor Platt In position to take tbo
lead.in tUo patcnts.committco. , „ . . .
There is some talk of glying Senator
Pfeffor n place on the agricultural com
mittee. Some politics nro Involved in thin
and it may bo that the alliance senator will
secure a moro desirable place as a result of
the efforts of the republican and democratic
managers to keep him on their rcspoctlvo
sides.
Nobody has undertaken as yet to assign
Senator Kyle , the South Dakota nlllanpo sen
ator , but thc > expressed views of Mr. Irby ,
the South Carolina nllmnco senator , have
caused htm to bo assigned to the minority
representation.
Ilotiso Committees.
It is said upon good authority that Speaker
Crisp hod not up to this morning offered a
single committee chairmanship to any mem
ber of the bouse , and for that reason reports
as to bis intentions are purely speculative
and conjectural , based on considerations of
geographical location , experience , prominence
in special lines of legislation nnd adherence
or non-adherence to the late canvass of the
now speaker. Though Mr. Crisp has said ho
will not punish his opponents , his friends
will naturally not bo overlooked.
The speaker has , to u few frlonds , outlined
the policy which will govern him , so far as
individual characteristics of measures will
permit , In tlio make-up of committees. Ho
will , It Is learned , endeavor to give the west
ana north prominence In the membership in
the leading committees and avoid , as far a
possible , charges of sectionalism. Tha few
experienced democrats from north of Mason
and Dlxon's Una will , therefore , faro well nt
tbo Hands of the speaker , and Mr. Crisp will
advance to Important committee places a
number of the newer men whoso abilities , it
Is believed , will qualify them for the assump
tion of important trusts , even though their
experience has not boon so great us is usually
necessary to secure much coveted committee
honors.
The committees on rules , enrolled bills , ac
counts nnd mileage will bo appointed a * soon
us possible.t
Wnys nnd Menus Committee.
The custom of recent years has made the
chairman of the two most important com
mittees these on ways and moans and ap
propriations tbo party associates of the
speaker on the rules committee. Mills is ex
pected to bo tendered the chairmanship ot
the ways and moans committee on account of
his Identification with the tariff reform
movement , but personal considerations may
Induce him to decline this honor and to pro-
fora place as simply a member of the com
mittee.
Ex-Speaker Hood and Mr. Burrows of
Michigan nro named as tbo republican mem
bers of the rules committee.
In advance of a tender of the place , dofl-
nlto Information as to whether or not Mr.
Mills would accept tbo ways and means
chairmanship cannot bo had , but Mr. Mills ,
it Is known would prefer not to bo on the
rules committee nnd should the custom of
coupling the two places bo followed this
would Increase the probabilities of a declina
tion of both.
As Mr. Springer Is a northern man , there
Is reason to believe ho U not unlikely to bo
Mr. Hill's ' democratic ) successor , nnd Is
almost certain of being a member of tbo
ways and moans committee , if not the
chairman ,
Mr. Holman of Indiana Is tbo most
prominently mentioned representative for
the chairmanship of the appropriations
committee , out the name of Mr , McMillln
ot Tennessee wus today suggested for the
honor , nnd asldo from experience , ability ,
and the knuck of feeling the temper of tbo
house , bo has In his favor the fact that two
adjoining states ucldom got tbo two most
Important chairmanships , and It would bo a
graceful thing for the speaker to appoint
ono of his principal opponents. Mr , Me-
Millln can , of course , stay on tbo ways nnd
moans comailueo If ho prefers. But north
ern men will dominate these two principal
committees.
Messrs. Hatch and Bland of Missouri are
slated with the chairmanship of the agri
cultural and coinage weights nnd measures
committees.
Amos Cummlngs of New York Is the
probable chief of the committee on inarmo
and fisheries , and postofllccs will go to
Blount of Cloorgta , Its chairman In the
Fiftieth congress. - ' a
Herbert of Alabama tias n sort of proicrlp

nnd McCroary of Kentucky , wTlHJKOograpnl-

man , and longer experience on the sldo of
the latter. 't '
Mr. Fitch of Now York will , It U believed ,
locuro either a chairmanship' ' or 'an almost
equally eligible committee place , and may bo
the New York member of the ways and
moans committee.
Mr. Outhwalto ot Ohio In the probable
chairman of the Pacific railroads committee ,
unless ho should prefer elections.
Being n Georgian Is the principal point
tignlnst Mr. Turner of Georgia , In connection
with the chairmanship of the committee on
commerce , and either ho or Isadora Raynor
of Maryland will flguro'ln this plncn , n mem
bership on the ways and moans committee
going to the ono losing the chairmanship.
Unless WiUon of West Virginia ifooson the
ways and means committee , ho will get n
chairmanship. Ho has seen scrvlco on the
manufacturers committee , but probably pre
fers soinu other committee ,
The public buildings committee will go to
the north , very likely , and Forney of Ala
bama can look after the militia If ho wants to
whllo attending also to the appropriations.
Culbortson of Texas and Dates of Alabama
are the host qualified for the hoa'd of the Ju
diciary committee.
The Immigration committee will very
likely go to Covert of Now York.
The needs of the District of Columbia will
bo looked after by Homphill of South Car

Whllo firemen were raiting away the ruins
of the Boone Paper company at 4:30 : this
morning , there came a sound of a tcrriflo explosion -

broke out from every floor and ihotout
through the roof. The flro muit have been

men prevented the flames from spreading. A
number of the pcopio were sleeping In the
upper rooms of the building , but all escaped.
Forty Girls Imprisoned.
At S o'clock another fatal flro broke out at
A. Monn & Co.'s wholesale sandy and fancy
grocery house , n square above the Boone
Paper company's building. The origin of
the llro is a mystery. Forty girls were at
work on the fourth floor nnd all were not
able to escape. The bodies of six girls have
already been taken out burned almost beyond
identification.
G. S. Mcnn , a brother of the senior mem
ber of the firm , Is supposed to have boon
burned to death , and tbo firemen think nt
least tlvo other girls' bodies will bo found as
soon as u thorough search Is mado.

The flro cut oil escape by the stairs loadIng -
Ing from the fourth story , where the girls
were at work. Many Jumped from the windows

caped with broken limbs and brulsod bodies.
Others got out unhurt.
With Its forces weakened and demoralized
by the accident of the early morning tha
flro department was called to the
disaster at tbo candy factory. To add
to the casualties and confusion ,
Fire Chief Hughes was so badly hurt in an
accident early this morning that ho may not
recover. Ho nnd Henry Weathcrford , the
chief's assistant , while going to tbo lire ,
wore run into by a salvage corps wagon and
their buggy smashed. Both were trampled
by the horses , but the Injuries of Weather-
ford wore not serious ,
Bravo Work of the Firoinon.
A number of other firemen were badly In
jured at the candy store lire , but In the face
ofthosQ dlsutcratb.o.flrp.mop , stood bravely
to their work and within" another half hour
the flames wore under control , but within
this tlmo half a score of lives had been sacri
ficed. The flro is supposed to bavo arisen
from ono of the candy furnaces , which pos
sibly exploded. The flames com
municated with a big stock of
Christmas fireworks. Tbo first explosion
among tbo fireworks scattered flro brands all
over the store. The skylight foil in and the
ontlro stoclt was" fiercely blazing almost im
mediately.
The bodies of the girls were removed as
soon as possible to the nearest undertaking
establishments. Two of the girls have Just
been laoutlflcd as Mary Walsh and Amelia
Dickey.
Great confusion exists. Main street , where
the principal botcl business of the city goes
on , is blockaded and business Is almost at a
standstill. The loss on Monn & Co.'a buildIng -
Ing and stock Is placed nt ? ? r ,000. and the

were stopped at George W. Wicks & Co.'s

Gancs of workmen have boon busy in the
ruins of the llro on Main street nil day since
the flumes were subdued and are still busy.
At Monno's candy factory nt 517 Main street
whore ton were entombed by the crashing
walls , laborers nro still digging toward the
cellar and searching for the bodies of the
missing. Tbo mass Is still smouldering and
there is no hope for any. At the Boone Paper
company , 57 west Main , the dangerous walls
that at first delayed work were thrown down
this afternoon. It is in the paper co mpnny's
building Instead of B.imborgor , Strong &
Co.'s , as at first supposed , that the missing
firemen are now believed to bo.
There Is a fulnt bopa that ono or two of
the men may bo still alive , wedged between
the huge piles of paper that lilted the collar.
But tha steam and an occasional Jet of flame
breaking out show thcro Is llttlo chanco.
At 1 o'clock the body of Charles Kftnmol ,

Deputy Mnrahul Canton Wns : ot the
Utility Alan.
BUFFALO , Wyo. , Dec. o. ( Special Tele
gram to TUB BuE.J-Tho examination of
United States Deputy Marshal F. M , Canton
of this city , who was at his own suggestion
arrested cm complaint of Al Allison on the
charge of killing John A. Tisdalo , a brother
of the latter , began yesterday morning at 10
o'clock before Justice C. II. Parmoloo. The
arrest of Canton was the sequel to an Inter
view which ho had on Saturday with hulf u
dozen friends of the murdered man , In the
course of which Canton tola them ho under
stood they were of the opinion that ho had
committed the deed and ho would llko to
have a chance to go into court and clear
himself of tbo odious charge. The warrant
was Issued on Monday morning and shottly
thereafter Mr. Canton was taken In churpo
by the sheriff nnd kept under official sur
veillance till the end of the trial. At the
examination the state was represented by
County Attorney Alvlu Bunnott , iibslstcd by
J Walter \ \ ilson of Sliorldmi county. C. H.
Burrltt was counsel for the defense.
The court room was crowded with spec
tators throughout the trial , conspicuous
among the anxious ones being Allison and his
friends. The chief witness for the prosecu
tion was Charles F. Bi'-seh , a ranchman liv
ing sixteen miles from Buffalo , through
whom the first intimation of Tisdnlo's fate
Touched the authorities at Buffalo. Bajcn
tostilted that ho rode within lifty or sixty
yards of the mau who did the shooting and
ho was posltlvo that ho was riding Canton's
horse. The man were a light overco.it and
soft felt hat similar to these worn by Canton ,
but his face was hidden by a mulllcr aim lie
could uat swear that ho know him. Basch
hoard two shots ilrcd after ho passed
the gulch in which the murder was
committed and niter wards saw the mur
derer rldo rapidly across the country to
wards Buffalo.
Others tostllled that they had two or three
days before the murder soon Canton con
versing with Leo Moore , an enemy of Tis-
dale's and that the defendant , who Isudltctcd
with rheumatism , bad boon out riding on his
horse the preceding day. Tbo prosecution
had eighteen witnesses , the only material
ovldenco boitig that of Basch.
For tbo defense , business men of the city
stated under oath that they had soon , n.o't
and conversed with Canton In Buffalo at
various times during the entire period wlien
one must have been eight miles from town
in order to commit the crime- and a perfect
alibi was provon. Tho' rest of tun testimony
was submitted at 10 o'clock last hlght and
the justice took tbo case under advisement ,
totting the tune lor the announcement of his
decision at 0:30 : this morning.
There was llttlo doubt as to what tha de
cision would bo in the f coof--tho evidence ,
and when the Justice announced the acquittal
oftho herelidantuo-surpi'.lso.'was-iriautfested. ' ?
In the crowded co'urt room. Canton's Iun6-
ccnco wa ? established beyond the shadow of
doubt. The cowboys who ilockod to Buffalo
after news of the trial have at no tlmo made
any demonstration of violence nnd after the
announcement of tno decision this ruorulnjr
they qUotly dispersed. There Is great un
easiness among thn alleged cattle rustlers
who fear that more of their number uro on
the list , nnd It is predicted by those wLo are
in a position to know , that recent occurrences
will result in an exodus of a large number of
the residents of the Powder river country
Within the next six months.

WASHINGTON , I ) . C. , Deo. 0. |
Information has Just been received at tha
Department of Agriculture that New York
capitalists aio to establish beet sugar fac
tories nt Springfield , III. , and Omaha. Mr ,
Tuppor , chief of the sugar bounty division ,
said today ; "Tho sorghum and beet sugar
Industry has now become established and
paying nnd capitalists , realizing this fact ,
Intend to Invest largo sums In establishing
factories. It is true that n number of
failures nro reported all over the country ,
but I am certain that those result more from
bad management than bad buslnois. 'Tho
failure of the Topeka factory certainly was
so caused. I nm told there was n woman
at the head of this plant. Whether
or not sbo had anything to do with the fall *
uro , I nm unable to say. The output of the
sorghum nnd boot factories nro not tip to the
estimate by any means , falling short nbout
two-thirds. However , when an estimate was
made it was placed at the very top notch ,
oven before It wns known how much sugar a
beet contained. I nm very well satisfied
with the showing this Industry has made
nnd con skier it n much mora paying business
to the farmer thnn raising cereals. Most of
the poor boot crops nro duo to the fact that
they arc given Insufliciout attention and the
wrong seed used.
"To mnko beet raising a success it Is nec
essary to glvo the boots proper care. They
must bo looked after and not planted and
tended llko corn. Again , tno only seed that
Is used to any oxtontBliccossfully Is Imported.
This has been proved by an export employed
by the agricultural department. With the
national nnd state bounty on boot and sorghum
ghum sugar , there Is no reason why It should
not bo nn exceedingly prolltablo.liulustry.
Interested In the Chilian Affair.
Men of affairs and' these In prlvato life who
keep closest run of current events , first
turned to President Harrison's treatment of
the Chilian Incident , when the message was
laid before congress this afternoon nnd copies
of it distributed nt the capital. The greatest
interest wns shown In this , the first official
statement of the status of the caso. Tha
linn manner in which tbo case throughout
wns stated in the message was very
Kratifyintr to nil who have the welfare
of American citizens uppermost In
their hearts nnd in the estimation
of almost nil men in congress
the president has added another wroatn to
his croivn In the effort to elevate the rights
of American citizens abroad and command
roapoct everywhere for the stars and stripes.
Itva ? especially gratifying to congress to
learn that the president Intends to depart
from the old custom of secrecy nnd send to
congress , and thereby glvo to the ontlro
country , all of the facts relating to tbo killIng -
Ing of American sailors In tno streets of Val
paraiso because they wore the uniform of tha
United States ; also that ho believed the
present status of the case warrants some sort
of action on the part of congress. In tbo on
tlro treatment of the Chilian affair the
president govo oyldonco. of Jils old tlmo de
termination maintain 'tbo rights "of out
American citizens in foreign lands. War or
any hostile stop can only bo taken by direc
tion of congress nnd the reference to Chill's
attitude Is regarded as significant.
Next In Importance hero and that which
was quickly turned to was the president's
reference to the financial condition of the
country and the operation of the MoICinloy
law. Many supposed the question so ener
getically evaded by the democratic leaders at
present , that of free coinage , would be
"straddled" or ignored.
Ills Views of Free Coinage.
Not so In this instance. President Harrison
while not evincing a dogmatic disposition
earnestly points out the disastrous effect
that absolute free coinngo would have upon
this country If undortanon before nn Interna
tional standard nnd action were effected.
There wore these who expected to see the
president "fight" oft a fair and square en
dorsement of tno tariff law as It stands and
hoped to see him point out objections and
make suggestions of amendments. On the
contrary , his comment on the lav Is full and
direct. Tbo president oxprosscs the belief
that It Is the best that could have been In
vented , taken in connection with reciprocity
provisions. Presidential messages huvo here
tofore boon largely ravlowa of exclusive de
partment work , dealing in figures and stereo
typed facts. This evening's Star voices the
sentiment of hundreds of statosraon at tha
capital today when It says that"while it is
long it is packed so full of meaty Interesting
matter , edited with nlco discrimination , that
It is hard to suirgcst where the
cut would bo properly made , " that
"it is not a formal rehash of the department
reports" and that "tho president has im
pressed Ills individuality upon every .sentence.
of it nnd the art of putting things effectively
of which ho has shown his mastery In the ad
mirable condensed speeches which ho has
nmda from tlmo to tlmo during bis adminis
tration.1
The message is complimented by men In
both branches of congress , not alone for Its
originality of Idons and now matter but for
Its business qualities. It Is on every band
taken as an nppoal to tbo Americanism of
our citizens and their best sense of Judgment ,
rattier than their political prejudices. Tha
message was attentively listened to by men
in all parties wnon read In coneross , and will
have an unusual impression upon future log-
Islatlon , for It bears upon its facn ovidenca
that It was prepared by ono whoalonodoilroa
the best for the people.
