WASHINGTON , Sept. 11. Attorney Uon-
cral Harmon today furnished the following
for publication : " 1 have concluded to give
a public answer to the many Imtulrles made
ot mo upon a subject ot great moment ,
to which general attention Is now directed.
Mr. Bryan In his letter accepting the nomi
nation for president by the convention at
Chicago amplifies the protest which that
convention made In Its platform against
fedcial Interference In local affairs , which ,
ntrangi ly enough , Is not found In the plat
forms ot the other conventions which have
also nominated him. As nothing else has
been proposed to which they could possibly
apply , these protests were Intended and
f.ro understood to be directed against the
recent action of the president In forciblj
suppressing riotous disorders which have
stopped th canlage of the mails and Inter
state rnniinorco and were defying the civ II
olllcers of the United States The president
took this action not only without the re
quests , but In some Instances against the
protests , of the authorities of the states
In vvhli'h the riots occtnred , and Mr. Brian ,
taking section 4 of article I ot the constltti-
/ * tlon to be the law on the subject , pledges
r himself gaalnst any lepetitlon ot the viola
tion thereof which his letter ncce-ssarily
charges He indicates the wisdom of the
fromers of the constitution by declaring
that tlie local authorities 'arc better quail-
fled than thu picsldeut to Judge of the nccea-
Uty for federal assistance. '
"This , In my Judgment , Is far more ser
ious than the money question or any of the
other questions that are now before the
people , grave as they all are Our form
of government may survive a wrong decision
of thosn questions and the people may endure
for a time all disturbances which may re
sult from false systems of finance and taxa
tion , but If the president has deliberately
disregarded the Insttumcnt upon which the
union is founded by supplanting the author
ity of a sovereign state by armed forces , a
precedent has been made which threatens
our form of government , while If a candidate
for president properly pledge himself In ad
vance , as Mr Bryan has done , to do nothing
to protect the property , maintain the au
thority and enforce the laws of the United
States unless and until the ofllcers of another
government request or consent , then we
really have no federal government ; for a
government which Is not entirely flee to
HBO force to protect and maintain Itself In
the discharge of Its own proper functions Is
not government at all. The section of the
constitution to which Mr. Bryan refers Is ns
follows'
The United State * shill guarantee to
every state1 In this union a republican form
of government and .shall protect e ich ot
them against Invasion and on application
of the legislature or of the1 executive when
the legislature cannot be convened against
domestic v lolenco.
NOT THH CASK IN POINT.
"This section plainly refers meicly to
the pi election of the states against In
terference with their authority , laws or
propei ty , by domestic violence , and they are
wisely made the solo judges whether and
when they need such protection. Mr Bryan
betrays a consciousness of the limited opera
tion of this provision In the expression
'federal assistance1 In the clause I have
quoted. But , by the express terms of the
\ constitution , a state has nothing to do with
the maintenance of the authority or the
execution of the laws ot United States
within the teirltory of the state The pre
vention and punishment of offenses con
nected with the mails , with Inleistate com
merce , with administration In the federal
courts aio committed to the general gov
ernment and to It alone. Such offenses in
no wise menace the general government of
the state within which they are committed.
Thercfoio the state cannot require pro
tection against them. The state has no
duties to discharge In these matters There
fore , It can icqulro no 'federal assistance1
with icspect to them. Ot course , domestic
violence often , as In the recent riots , Is
directed against both state and federal au
thority Indiscriminately , so that cither or
both may suppress It. And In such cases
the action of each in maintaining Its own
authority over the subjects committed to
H tends to aid the other. But In such cases
each Is acting In Its own Independent
right as a sovereign government and In Its
own behalf. It would be as absurd to
claim that the United States must neglect
Its own interests because in protecting them
those of a state may bo incidentally pro
tected an to claim that a state must let
riot run free because It happens to bo di
rected against federal rights 01 ofllcers
as well as Its own. This would limit and
belittle the sovereignty of both governments
Imporlum In Imperlo would bo false
"According to Mr. Bryan , there Is some
's ' where Implied In the constitution , for It Is
nowhere expressed , a prohibition of the use
of force by the United States against per
sons who , within the limits of a state , maybe
bo successfully resisting its olllcers and
completely paralyzing all Us operations as
n. goveimcent unless ( he local authorities
Khali first make request or glvo consent.
This Is contrary to the settled principle
that whllo the federal government Is one
vvhq u operations la con lined to certain sub
jects It has , as to those subjects , all the
attributes of sovereignty , and ono of those
la , always and everywhere within the ter
ritory ot the states which compose It to
suppress and punish those who In any wise
intorfert ) with the o.xcrciso of Its lawful
powers The fact that there are within
that territory other governments exercising
sovereignty over all matters not so com
mitted to It can make no dlffcienco under
the double form of govenjment , the esacn
tlal principle- which Is a partition of
powers to be exercised Independently over
the eamc territory. This sovereign right of
the United States necessarily follows Its
oillcers and agents everywhere they go , pro-
tectlng and maintaining them In the dls
charge of their dutle's Congress has ac
cordingly , by section 5,297 of the Uevlsed
Statutes , authorized the president to use
the armed forces of the government In aid
of state authorities when requested by
them , as provided In the constitution , and
hai also , by the followlns section , 5.MS ,
authorized him to employ such forces upon
his own judgment alone against 'unlawful
obstructions , combinations or assemblages of
persons , ' 'In whatever state or territory
thereof , the laws of the United Statci maybe
bo forcibly opposed or the execution thereof
forcibly obstructed , '
IlltYAN'S IMNQimOUS DOCTftlNn.
"It was under the power conferred by
the section last named that the late rebel
lion vsa suppressed. Mr liryan's doctrine
that this law Is unconstitutional Is more
dangerous than that of the Recession ; the
latter at least left the government some
power and authority In the territory which
chose to remain , Mr Bryan's would reduce
It to the Idle mimicry of the state It was
no moro Intended to make the general gov
ernment dependent upon the states with
respect to the matters committed to It
than to make the states subject to the gen
eral government with respect to the rights
reserved to them As the general govern
ment Is authorised to maintain a regular
army and navy , which the states cannot
do ; ns all the militia of all the states Is
subject to the direct call of the president
It was natural that the states should be
made to call upon It for direct aid against
violence , but there was no reason why It
should call or wait upon them with refer
ence to Itself
"What 1 have said Is well known to law-
jcis and students of the constitution. It
Is chletly Intended for the people at large ,
before whom the subject has now been
brought I will recall In this connection
the following resolution proposed by Hon
John W. Daniel of Virginia , who was pres
ident of the convention which nominated
Bryan , which was pabscd by the senate
July 32 , 1Slil ( Congressional Hccord , page
SCf,3) ) , without apparent dissent
lleMolved , Thnt the senate endorses the
prompt and vigorous mu.isuies ndopted by
the pic'Mldent of the United States and the
members of hlK administration to repuls-o
and repress liy mllltno force , the Inter
ference of law lets men with the due process
of the laws of the United States and with
the transportation of the mills of the
United States , and with commerce between
the states
"The action of the president and his ad
ministration hai the full sympathy and sup
port of the law-abiding masse of the people
ple of the United States , and ho will bo
supported by all departments of the govern
ment and by the power and resources of
thr entire nation It must be that Mr
Bryan amid the many demands on his time
and attention , has fallen Into an Inadvert
ence I cannot believe that ho really thinks
that the president has no power under the
constitution and laws to maintain the gov
ernment entrusted to his charge. Nor can
I believe that Mr Bryan means to prom
ise , or to permit others to think that he
has promised , not to Interfere If he should
bo elected and thu situation ot the riots of
IS1) ! should arise during his term I will
not lightly question cither his knowledge as
a law ) or or his sincerity as a public man
Certainly his letter Is generally misunder
stood , unless It means either that Mr.
Ilrvan thinks the president has no power ,
or that ho would himself not use It If
elected. JUDSON HAUMON. "

George House was captured yesterdav
afternoon by Officers Fay and Currle , and
locked up In the city jail. A complaint
will bo filed today charging him with an
attempted assault upon Kittle , the 7-year-old
daughter of Jlr. and Mrs. L. A. Ilosslter.
House Is a dumb man'and ' likewise alleges
to bo deaf. When the parents of the child ,
In response to a notice from the station ,
arrived at the Jail about 7 o'clock last evenIng -
Ing and were given a view of House , In
order to Identify him , a scene was enacted.
"Ah ! you wretch , " exclaimed the angered
mother , as she shook her finger In his face ,
"you are the man. " House looked wildly
about , but made no answer. Ho pulled out
a card upon which were the letters of the
deaf mute's alphabet and beneath which were
these words , "I am deaf and dumb ; price
ot card 10 cents"
It is largely on the evidence of the card
that the police count on securing a convic
tion. The assault is alleged to have boon
made at 1923 South nightccnth street on
September 5 , about 1.30 o'clock In the after
noon. Mrs. Hosslter was sitting In a room
on the second floor , while her child was
pi lying In the basement beneath. The
mother called for her child and the assailant
hurried down the street , while the little
ono ran crying to her mother , and showed
her ono of the cards the man had given
her. Mrs Ilosslter dashed down the street
In pursuit , and when she caught up with the
man , ho gave her ono of his deaf and dumb
cards and ran away. The neighbors were
alarmed and several men from Nelson's
grocery near by spent hours In searching
the weeds for the assailant. The description
given by the mother was read to the police
at roll call September 5 , but not until yes
terday had they been able to get any track
of the man. Ho appears to bo a stranger In
the city. Ho had a haggard and wild look
and Is dressed In poor clothes. No Intelli
gent communication has been secured from
him regarding himself.

Chicago express. They were mei at the
station by General Copplnger , Major Towar ,
Major Wheeler , Major Nje , Major Crowdcr ,
Lieutenant Htltchcson , Lieutenant Peri ) ,
General Manderson and J N H Patrick
A fnlr-sired crowd of spectators , attracted
by the fame of the visitors , awaited the nr-
rlval of the train. As It pullenl In. the local
army officers and General Manderson en
tered the car to pay their respects Then
the car was switched to the south side ot
the station and the party leisurely alighted
Senator Sherman came first of the notables ,
and his familiar features and tall form ,
slightly bent with age , were warmly greeted
Geneial Miles shortly followed , dressed In
a plain and serviceable suit ot tweed , and
looking , as always , the typical American sol
dier. After a few moments' Informal chat
on the platform , the visitors climbed Into
the carriages of Mr Patrick and General
Manderson , and were driven to General
Manderson's residence , where dinner was
served.
An Informal reception was held at Gen
eral Manderson's homo In the evening , at
which many townspeople took the oppor
tunity to shake hands with the distinguished
guests and the no less distinguished host
Among those who were present weru : Ml.
and Mrs Ltwls Heed , Mr. and Mrs. Joh.i
E. Wilbur , Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Yates ,
Mr. and Mrs John C. Cowln , Mr and Mrs.
W. J. Connell , Mr and Mrs S. D. Barkalow ,

N. H. Patrick , Mrs. Meredith , Major Townr.
Mr. Luthei Drake , Major Crowder , Major
Nye , Mrs Matheson , Lieutenant Hutchcson
and Lieutenant Perry.
It is matter for regret that owing to the
fact that the news of the approach of the
party was only received a few hours before
the party arrived , so little publicity could
be given to the announcement of the re
ception. Ail would have been welcome on
this occasion to General Manderson'a home ,
and dcubtless many would have heon plad
to bt present , but It was only posalblii to
notify a few who could bo easily reached In
the bbort time allowed ,
General Manderson savs the statement
that General Miles Is to join with Dr. Webb
and Mr. Vanderbllt of New York In a big
hunt Is a mistake. If General Miles docs
any hunting It will bo merely Incidental.
His visit to the west Is for the purpose of
Inspecting army posts.
WILL VISIT FORT CROOK TODAY.
Today the party will drive to Fort Crook
In the forenoon , returning In tlmo to be
entertained at lunch by General Copplnger
at the Omaha club , and will leave for the
far west In the afternoon.
William K. Vanderbllt and Dr. W. Sevvard
Webb , who rumor had It were expected to
meet General Miles here , did not arrive
at Omaha.
At Otttlmwa yesterday morning General
Miles barely escaped a serious accident. Ho
and his son were promenading on the plat
form with the general's dog. Ilex , when the
train started. General Miles stopped to
get Rex. He dragged the animal three
or four rods , threw It Into a window , then
caught the car rod as the train sped by at
a lively rate He was assisted onto the
coach and escaped serious Injury by the
merest chance. The Incident caused much
excitement.

Varlotli-'H of Common Spiders VVON ) <
Illtc IN Venomous.
Hvery now and then a person dies of a
spider blto All bpldprs aie poisonous , ba > s
the New York World , but very few are suffi
ciently so to cause death Miss Cora Sanfe-
llso of Brooklyn , who died from the effects
of a spider's blto recently , was attacked by
a black spider about tin ee > quarters of an
Inch long. This arachnid undoubtedly be
longed to the "lathrodectus" species.
The "lathrodectus" are very venomous.
Their salivary glands contain a poisonous
liquid. This injurious fluid Is expedled
through little holes In the extremities of the
mandibles or Jaws when they bite. Their
bites are seldom fatal to human beings , al
though they have been known to throw people
ple Into convulsions. Many small animals
and even birds generally die when attacked
by them.
In Madagascar there Is one species of
spider whoso blto Is said to be always fatal.
It Is a glossy black , with a led spot on tho1
abdomen , and Is globular In shape , being
about the stzo of a small nimble. It does
not hesitate to attack human beings. On
this Interesting Island there arc many bril
liantly colored spiders. Some of thorn are
largo enough to cover a dinner plate , and
they spin Immense geometric webs across
streams and roads , which are nncliore'd by
cords so strong that an effort Is required to
break them.
The tarantula Is alleged to bo poisonous.
Of course It Is somewhat so , It lives In
the tropics and , like all animals. Including
snakes , that live In the ton Id zone , It
collects a great deal of poison , and much
moro rapidly than Insects that llvo In a
colder climate. Venom always acts moro
quickly and la moro dangerous In a hot
country.
The famous "katlpo" spider Is supposed
to bo vary poisonous This Is a very shy
araclinld , and hides in dark places and
under stones. It has a bright red spot on
HH Btomaeh. It Is so much llko the "lath-
rodeetus" as to belong to all Intents and
purposes to the same tipccles
Thu natives of New Zealand are so much
afraid of the "katlpo" that they will not
camp In any neighborhood where It Is fouml
They asse'rt that human beings are often
killed by It , and believe that It Is possessed
of an evil spirit ,
The Kirghls of Asia call this spider the

The Coislcani , who call It the "mnlnil-

annually killed bv It
A variety of jumping spider haunts the
sunnj side1 of v\.illu it Is very fierce and
particularly venomous. It Is also aggres
sive , ns Indeed arc all spldeis , and It you
point jour linger at It It v\Ill attack vou.
If you try to capture one ho will throw
himself tip on his hind legs and prepare
to fight.
Most of the spiders one aces are females ,
ns that Is the most Important set , the main
seeming to h.ive no use In life except to
propagate the species The females ars
often twenty times as big us the males ,
and frequently eat their masculine roll-
tlons.
An aiithoilty opposed to the Idea that
spldeis are poisonous is Or Ocorgo Marx
of Washington I ) C , who died recently.
Ho was cclchiatcd as on expert In arachnid ,
lore , and his colleetlon of those creatures
was probably the most remarkable In ex-
Istime So little did ho believe In their
venomous qualities that hi- offered at any
tlmo to submit hh own arm to their bites
for experiments
Ho unco took a rabbit and carefully
shaved a poition of its skin clean of fur.
Then ho made a cut In the. skin and Intro
duced Into the wound t\\o little poison saca
from the jaws of a "lathrodectus" Next
ho cut the polbon sacs open while they were
In the wound , and permitted the venom
they held to flow- out , thus Inoculating the
animal ns effectively us could be. The
labblt was as lively nb ever twelve hours
after the operation. No eflect worth men
tioning was obtained.
He tried the same experiment with a
guinea pig and a mouse , with llko result.
Ho afterward allowed a guinea pig to bo
bitten three times on the nose by two full-
grown spiders , but again there was no per
ceptible effect
In splto of this celebrated scientific
authority , there have been a number of
well-authenticated case's where death has
resulted from spider bites Not very long
ago u farm hand In North Carolina was
bitten , and died the same night. Moro
recent la the sad case of Miss Sanfellso of
Urookljn , while only the other day the
death of Mrs A M Slav In of Phllllpsburg.
N. J. , was caused by n spider bite.
