VttoriicJemrat Chnrchlll'M Opinion
of the IiiNtltntf for the lenf.
LINCOLN , July 26. ( Special ) A few days
sine * Governor Holcomb nskcd Attorney Gen
eral Churchill to prepare an opinion regard'
Ins the respective powers of the chief execa
live and the Ilorml of Public Lands and Uulld
Ings over the various state Institutions with
which each had to deal. In order to facilitate
the work the request of the governor was for
mulated In three questions , as follows :
First Is the Institute for the Deaf , located
at Omaha , of the name general class or char
acter as that of the Nebraska Institute for
the Blind , located at Nebraska City ? I ask
the question with reference to the general
management , control nnd supervision of these
Institutions.
Second Is the Institution for the Deaf , lo
cated at Omaha , an educational institute
within the meaning of section 19 , article v. of
the constitution ? The section reads : "Tho
commissioner of public lands and buildings
the secretary of state , treasutcr and attorney
general shall form a boird , v.hlch shall have
general supervision and control of all the
buildings , grouds and lands of the state , the
state prison , asjlums and other Institutions
thereof , except those for educational purposes ,
and shall perform such duties and be subject
to siirh rules and regulations as may be pre
scribed by law. "
Third In the disbursements of public funds
by the legislature for the various state In
stitutions , has the Board of Public Lands
and Buildings the approval of claims and
supervisory control over the expenditures for
Institutions other than those over which It
has control , ns mentioned In section 1 , article
vll , chapter S3 , Compiled Statutes ?
In effect the opinion of the attorney gen
eral , which ! s a lengthy document , answers
the three questions by saying that the
Omaha Institute for the Deaf Is an asylum
and do ° s not come within the meaning of the
term educational Institute.
In his various definitions quoted the at
torney general says an asylum Is "inviolate
shelter. " "a place of amelioration and secur
ity , " "an Institution for receiving , main
taining and as far as possible ameliorating
the condition of persons suffering from bodily
defects , mental maladies and other mlsfor-
tuntes , as an asylum for the deaf , for the
Insane , etc. " The last definition Is from the
Century cyclopedia.
The attorney general 'quotes a great many
authorities In support of his position. He
also directs attention to the fact that the
legislature of 1877 , which passjd the law
authorizing the Board of Public Lands and
Buildings to have charge of state Institutions ,
was largely composed of ex-members of the
1875 constitutional convention , He sa > s that
he has been led to put the same construction
upon the definition of the term asylum which
they did. Ho also quotes a decision of the
supreme court , composed of Chief Justice
Lake and Justices Maxwell and Gault , In which
the two former hold that the Institute for
the Deaf at Omaha Is not an educational In
stitution. Justice Gault filed a dissenting
opinion at the time. _

Ins the work performed during the past
fiscal jear on the Missouri and Its tributa

ray's head to the mouth of the river , a dis
tance of 155 miles. Upon this section of
the btream the commission Is engaged In
earning out a tjstemstlc and continuous
Improvement , retelling the shores when nec
essary , constructing djKes , and building con
traction works. The first forty-five miles
to the mouth of Ihe Gascondo has been the

Especial effort has been used to hold the
current of the stream against bluffs , when
they can be found.

American Shipping ; StaixlN I'unr Sluiir
In Culiuii Witters.
WASHINGTON , July 20 In supplying the
State department with a report of the foreign
trade of his district for the last fiscal > ear
United States Commercial Agent Waller
Barker , located at Sagua La Grande , Cubi ,
comments at some length on the compara
tively poor slnwlng made by American
shipping in Cuban waters. The exports to
the United States , comprising the great bulk
of all the exports from the district , amounted
to $4,478,786 , of which only $2,421,817 worth
was carried In American bottoms , the re
mainder being brought to this country by
British , Spanish , German and Norwegian ves
sels. About half of the exports to the
United States was carried In British vessels.
Mr. Darker thinks this condition of affairs
Is because the foreign ships vhlch ply In
this trade are "tramps" and carry for less
than American vessels. He also believe :
the onerous port charges and unreasonable
fines Imposed In Cuba have the effect of driv-
Ing the American vessels from them.
The Imports from the United States have
been Insignificant as compared with those ol
former years , which the agent attributes to '
the Impoverished condition of the sugar In
dustry and to the revocation by Spain of tin
co-nmerclal treaty with this country.

WASHINGTON. July 2C. While no offi
cial news hai been received hero touching
he reported frUtlon between the Vonezuo-
ana and the llrltlsh colonists In Trinidad
growing out of the seizure of llrltlsh trading
craft In the colonial waters , It Is believed
that the difficulty has resulted from the
efforts of the Venezuelans to maintain the
andlng of the revolutionary forces. He-
ports of recent date Indicate that President
3repo fears the landing of such a party , and
t Is supposed he has Instructed his revenue
cutters to look out for It.
The British Island of Trinidad Is near to
: ho Venezuelan coast and at two points ,
tinown as the Serpent's Mouth and the
Dragon's mouth , the channels separating the
island from the main land are so narrow as
to make It very difficult to distinguish the
lines of Jurisdiction between the British and
Venezuelan waters.
It Is at these places , affording easy means
for the transportation of filibustering ex
peditions , that the seizures are reported to
have been made by the Venezuelans.

WASHINGTON , July 26 The reed division
of the Agricultural department will bo
abolished October 1. Accordingly , Matthias
Fagln of Illinois , chief of the division , at
$2,000 a jear , and the entire force of em-
plojes will bo dropped from the rolU.
Secretary Morton's action Is based on a
recent decision of Mr. Olney , then attorney
general , regarding the class of seed pur
chasable by the department. The latter held
In effect that the secretary of agriculture
was empowered to purchase only those seeds
described In section 572 of the Keviscd
Statutes , viz : Hare and uncommon to the
country , or such us can be made more
profitable by frequent changes from ono part
of our own country to another. Under this
official construction all bids for furnishing
seed were submitted The change Is offi
cially estimated to Involve a saving of
about $200,000 a year.
The force now at work numbers about a
dozen , though at the height of the season In
the spring and early summer It frequently
reaches several hundred.

WASHINGTON , July 20 Secretary Her
bert has settled the last point that remained
to be adjusted In the designs for the two
new battle ships by ordering that the extra
hundred tons required for the machinery of
the ships bo proved by reducing the coal
capacity from 1,400 to 1,200 tons. The out
line designs for th ships having now been
arranged , the different bureaus of the navy
department will Immediately begin the pre
paration of the full specifications on which
bids are to be invited for the constiuctlon
of vessels It Is probable that the adveitlso-
ments will not issue before the 1st of Jan
uary next , but this will not delay the con
structton of the ships , owing to the fact
that congress as yet has not made appropria
tion for them.

For half an hour the officers and Spelllsy ex

WASHINGTON , July 1C. The officials of
ho State department arc at present anxiously
awaiting Information from Ambassador.
Hustls as to the manner in which the second
end demand for the record of the Waller
court martial , which was held In Tamatave ,
md been received by Prance , It Is now
earned definitely that the Trench govern-
ncnt refused to furnish the record upon
the first presentation of the request , and
that this refusal was met by a more positive
and pressing demand tor all the papers. The
lepartmcnt Is Informed by Mr. Kustls that
this demand has been presented.
There has been qulto sufficient time for
a reply , hut none has been received. The
course of the French In their refusal to sup
ply a record Is considered most unusual , and
? s no explanation was vouchsafed , the dc
partmcnt Is at a loss to know upon what
grounds It was based. The supposition Is
saining ground that Trance's refusal , to fur
nish the record Is duo to a desire not to
glvo publicity to revelations made In the
letters from Waller which were Intercepted
by the Trench authorities concerning the
misconduct of some of Iho French sol-
dlcM.
In letters which have been received hero
from Waller during the past few days he
reveals the fict that In his letters to hU
wlfo he Informed her of various outrages
committed upon the natlvo women of Tama-
tavo , and gives such a circumstantial ac
count of these proceedings as to reflect on
the Trench soldiery In Madagascar In a way
which the Trench authorities might not tic-
sire to sou published to the world.
There Is good reason for believing that
In case of a second refusal by Franco to
supply the record a third demand will bo
made more peremptory. The State depart
ment authorities consider the case as one
of Importance , because liable to develop some
very delicate and Intricate questions before
It shall bo finally disposed of. It Is known
that Secretary Gresham took this view of
It , and It Is believed that while he has not
hail occasion to go Into detail his suc
cessor , Mr , Olney , also feels that It Is a
matter of gravity.

TOPEKA , July 20 Governor Morrlll has
addressed a letter to President Cleveland ,
again calling attention of the federal govern
ment to the Imprisonment of John L. Waller
by the Fiench government. He sajs : "Tho
people of our state feel that a great outrage -
rage has been perpetrated upon one of Its
citizens. It is not a question of race or
color It Is a question of American citizen
ship , and through mo the people of our state
ask you to take Immediate and active incas
urcs to secure justice to our follow citizen
It Is reported through the press that Franca
has denied a respectful request on the part
of the representative of the United States
government at Paris to visit Mr. Waller , anJ
for a copy of the charges upon which ho Is
alleged to have been convicted. Our people
cannot bellovo that France has been guilty
of this discourtesy after a courteous request
on the part of our government for an Inter
view with Mr. Waller BO that his case be
fairly represented. "
Congressman Curtis has sent another te'c-

that he had written to the State depart

reply.
