Amkrk'an women are yearly grow-

In San Francisco to have a date set
for trial a lawyer was citing the rec-
ord of a Michigan murder case, in
which the defendant had beon the

it is ranked as boastly bad luck. Jt

Professor Garner is now baek
from Africa, bringing his monkey
language with him. We can now
learn the tongue that our ancestors
'according to Durwinisin) talked
thousands, perhaps millions, of years
before they talked Sanscrit. Philol-

vain to find the earliest tongue of the
race. Professor Garner has found it,

Last summer the St. Nicholas
hotel at Lake Mohegan, N. Y., was
burned, with a loss of $60,000. The
proprietor at once started rebuilding
and had it fairly under way when an

been left standing fell and crushed
tho work. Undaunted, he resumed,

Washington, Dec. 7.—The annual
report of Attorney (ieneral Olney was
submitted to congress today. II
shows that the volume of business of
the federal courts is rapidly increas-
ing. The number of criminal prose-
cutions pending in the federal circuit
and district courts July 1 last was
0,385, again** 3,308 July 1, 1885, while
the expenses of the United States
courts (exclusive of judges' salaries)
incurred and paid in tho tiscal year
1893 were $4,528,<W , as against $2,374,-
in the tiscal year 1885.
The two cases of greatest consc-
quence to the government decided by
the supreme court during the past
year, says the report, were known as
the "Chinese exclusion" ease, and the
Hat trimmings'' case. The latter in-
volved no legal principle of special
moment, but its decision adversely to
the government makes it liable to
pecuniary claims variously estimated
as amounting from $10,0)0,000 to $30,-
000,000 dollars. The Chinese exclu-
sion case, on the other hand, brought
into debate a question <>f constitu-
tional law second to none in gravity
and with far reaching results depend-
ent upon its determination
The attorney general devotes some
attention to the cases arising under
the Bowman act, speaks of the diffi-
culty of their pr. p«r investigation
owing to the fact that they grow out
of transactions of thirty years ago,
and says that these cases demand the
most careful legislative safeguards
against successful fraud. During the
ast year but forty of these cases have
ieen decided by the cour>, with the
aggregate allowance of $141,008.90,
bringing the total of allowauee in
these cases up to 53, .'1S2,2UI. 90. There
pending 4,509 cases, embodying
claims estimated by the assistant at-
torney general, who lias had special
charge of these cases, at about $37,-
boo,ooo.
The report of the solicitor of the
treasury shows that the whole num-
ber of suits for penalties, tines, etc.,
cided or otherwise disposed of dur-
ing the year was 0.038; the whole
amount for which judgments were
obtained, exclusive of decrees in rem,
was $494,979.40, and the entire amount
collected from all sources was $.190,-
407 77.
Considerable space is devoted in the
report to the discussion of affairs in
the^ Indian territory An omission
to call attention to what may fairly
be characterized as maladministration
of justice there would, the report
says, be without excuse. It is claimed
that treaty stipulations stand in the
way for a remedy for this state of
things If that be true, then it is
clear that no time ought to be lost ia
the negotiations of new treaties.
Regarding the Union Pacific receiv-
ership, the report says in part:
As tho United States is incomparably tho
largest sin le creditor of the company, the in-
debtedness beinj,' to it at least somewhere bo-
twerp f.tf.ooD.O X) and ifl0.UJ0.0i0, it was appar-
ent that the represent ition of the United
Stutes in the receivership was altogether in-
adequate A coruintfly, ai the instance of tho
attorney general intervening on behalf of tho
United States and with the assent of the peti-
tioning creditors, two receivers, nominated by
the United States, have been addod to the
original boaid. which now consists of tive per-
sons, two of whom : ro government directors
while a third formerly acted in the same ca-
pacity.
It would seem to bo assured, therefore, that
tbe interests of the United States are not
ltkoly to be prejudiced pendinr the receiver-
ship, which K oi i ourse. temporary in its verv
nature it should tie superseded as soon as
practicable by the adoption of such schemes
of permanent reor anization as \,hi!e dotal
Justice to creditors and all private interests,
will also secure the accomplishment of tho
jrreat public purposes with a view to which tho
Union Pacilic railway company was originally
chartered and subsidized by the United
States. It is hoped that such a plan can he
presented to congress at an early day for its
approval ami for such legislation as may be
necessary to make the plan effectual
Regarding the Sherman anti-trust
law the attorney general says then
has been and probably still is a wide-
spread impression that the aim and
effect of this statute are to prohibit and
prevent those aggregations of capital
which are so common at the present
day and which are sometimes on so
large a scale as to partially control
all branches of an extensive industry
It would not be useful, even if it were
possible, to ascertain the precise pur-
pose of the framers of the sta'ute. It
is sufficient to point out what small
basis there is for the popular impres-
sion referred to.
The aggregate judgments in. favor
of the United States civil suits during
the year wore $285,034; the aggregate
fines, forfeitures and penaltie
posed in criminal prosecutions were
$708,921.
INCOME TAX VIEWS.
IVentern Senator* and Congressmen (Jen
eraliy Favor the Idea.
Washington, Dec. 7.—Western men
generally speak freely in favor of some
form of income .taxation. Senator
Peffer favors a graduated tax with a
minimum of $2,000. Mr. Cockrell does
not talk with any precision further
than to say practically that he favors
the adootion of a tax on incomes.
Champ Clark wants to tax incomes on a
graduated scale with a percentage in-
creasing with the income and a mini-
mum that he lodges somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $7,000. Mr.
Cobb opposes the plan. al-
though he confesses to admira-
tion for it theoretically. He thinks
failure in administration inevitable
Mr. Morgan favors it and wants tin-
tax to be a graduated one on the
basis of a $3,000 minimum. Mr.
Dockery agrees with Mr. Morgan,
though he might consent toajftiinimuin
as high as *5,000. Mr. Tarshey, him-
self a member of the commit tee, favors
the tax, but not on a graduated scale,
as being difficult of collec4f(,n' aml
carries the minimum dewn as low as 1
half his own salary of $5,000.
The Kansans generally appear to
favor the tax, except Mr. Curtis, who
thinks it impracticable, however ex-
cellent ia theory, and who would not '
fix the minimum at less than $10,000
if the tax was inevitable and he had
the privilege of naming the exceptions.
Mr. Simpson is very strongly in favor
of the proposed tax and joins with
Mr. Tarsney in thinking $2,500 the
proper minimum figure. Mr. Iiflvis
favors a graduated tax, as do most of
the Populists, but unexpectedly
agrees with Curtis in thinking $10,000
a fair minimum.
HILL ONTHE RAMPAGE
The New York senator Attacks the
l*re hleut' Hawaiian Policy.
Washington, Dec. 7.—In the senate
this afternoon Mr. Hoar's Hawaiian
resolution was taken up and Mr. Hill
of New York challenged the
right of the president to use mili-
tary force to restore the Hawaiian
queen "There are three co-ordinate
branches of this government, ' said
he, "and this is an authority which is
not vested in the president alone."
The contemplated action of the
president, Mr. Hill declared, would
be a usuri ation of the rights of con-
gress. He was attentively listened to
throughout and the galleries rapidly
tilled up as the report of the sensa-
tional character of his speech spread
through the capitol.
At 3:3ft p. m. Mr. Hill finished and
was followed by Mr. Sherman, who
also challenged the correctness of the
president's position.
POPULISTS AND THE TARIFF.
They Will Undoubtedly Vote In Favor of
the Wilson Bltt.
Washington, Dec. 7—There is some
discussion among the members of con-
gress about the probable action of the
I'opulists on the tariff bill In the
house it is likely that they will all
vote for the bill and would, if possi-
ble. vote for a more sweeping meas-
ure. In the senate their votes be-
come of considerable importance iu
view of the fact that there has been
some talk that a few Democrats will
not support the measure unless some
material modifications arc made.
Friends of Mr. Kyle and Mr Allen
say theyVould vote for even a greater
cut than made in the Wilson bill, and
that Mr. Peft'er will also join them.

.Scheme Adopted—The Directors.
Toper a, Kan , Dec. 7.—When the
North and South" railroad conven-
tion adjourned last night until this
morning the report of H. W. Dake of
Missouri, from the committee on ways
and means of building the proposed
road, was under consideration. He
recommended that the convention
appoint a provisional board of direc-
tors consisting of eleven mem-
bers, one from each of tho
states through which the road
should run. The first duty of this
board should be to secure the neces-
sary charters from the states, rights
of way and other privileges and fran-
chises. Whenever the legislatures of
live or more states should have in-
dorsed the enterprise, the provisional
board should turn over to the state
all the property of the company in
trust for the people For tho purpose
of building the road bonds might be
issued to an amount not exceeding
the cost of the enterprise.
This morning the time was occupied
in further discussion of the report oi
the committee which, after sundry
amendments had been agreed to, was
adopted.
Then, after considerable time had
been wasted in talk, the provisional
board of directors was selected as fol-
lows; North Dakota, Lieutenant (Jov-
ern3r E. I). Wallace; South Dakota,
Lieutenant Governor E. C. Herried;
Nebraska, C. S. Rundell; Kansas, F. J.
Close; Oklahoma, Sidney Clarke; Texas,
M. II. Kimpton; Arkansas, ex-Con-
gressman L. I*. Featherstone; Missouri,

liam Larrabee; Minnesota, ex-Con-
gressman Ilalvor Halverson; at large,
E. Stoddard of Nebraska.
MRS. FOY'S LATEST.
.ludure Prendergast, John Flnerty and
Another Marked for < ronin's Fate.
Chicago, Dec. 7.—Mrs. Andrew
Foy has told another sensa-
tional story regarding the death
of Dr. Crcnin, and gives the names of
three more men whom she claims
were to have been killed by the al-
leged conspirators. These were ex-
Judge Richard Prendergast, John F.
Finerty and a Mr. Conway, a real es-
tate man. She also gave the names of
three other men whom she said were
implicated in the conspiracy and had
as much to do with it as Coughlin.
All these points were given to Judge
Wing and Attornej' Forest last sum-
mer, but they persuaded her not to
give them to the public, and used the
argument that her husband would be
hanged if she did.
"Last summer I grew so miserable,"
said Mrs. Foy, "that I could not stand
it any longer, so I went down to At-
torue\r Forest's office anu told him the
whole story everything. Judge
Wing was there and hea d me. When
I finished they both began to beg me
not to say a word."
Mrs. Foy is reported as saying;
"After Cronin was disposed of they
began making plans to do away with
the other three. Hut I told tin m
positively that if they attempted
to kill anybody else I should certainly
tell the story. Cons quently they
made do further efforts to dispose of
th«' three. All 1 want is a chance to
tell what I know in court and then
my mind will be at rest."
Mrs. Foy's 'confessions" have ex-
cited much comment aud wide differ-
ence of opinion. Yesterday ex-Judge
Wing, of counsel for the defense, re-
ferred to her in court as "a delirious
anti almost crazy woman," to which
remark the prosecuting attorney
earnestly took exceptions.
Judge Tuthill rendered a decision
to-day in which he intimated that tho
testimony of Mrs. Andrew Foy might
be admitted, lie ruled that the state's
attorney could refer to Mrs.
Foy from time to time in his speech.
"I am inclined to the view taken by
the prosecution in this matter," said
the court, apparently referring to the
admission of Mrs. Foy's testimony,
"but 1 will reserve my decision until
later."
Hkthi.rhkm, Pa., Dec 7.—The great
strike on the Lehigh Valley road was
declared off at 3 o'clock this morning,
both sides making concessions.
This action was the result of a con-
ference between a joint committee
composed of members of the boards of
arbitration of New York and New
Jersey on the one hand aud President
Wilburof the Lehigh Valley road on
the other. The conference which
lasted three days, was also partici-
pated in by the chiefs of the local and
national labor organizations which
took part in the strike The terms of
the agreement are embodied in the
following which was made public
after the strike had been declared off:
South BBTHLKHKM, Pa . Dee. - K P. Wil-
bur. president Lehigh Valley railway- Dear

high Valley Hallway company will agree to
take baek as many of the r old employes as
they ean tlnd places for without prejudice on
account of the fact that they struck or that
they lire members of any labor or/anlzatton:
that in re employin the men formerly in its
service, the available time sh ill be sodtvided
anions the men employed that they may fuel
that they are again in the e iiploy of the com-
pany and self supporting that in making pro-
motions hereafter, the company will make no
distinction as between the new men now
in its employ and those re employed
on account of seniority in service or
otherwise when in the employ of the road;
committees from the various classes of em-
ployes from tho branches of tho service in
which the a grieved party is employed shall
bo received aud thoir grievances considered
and justly irented, and that in employing men
in the future the company will tive preference
to former employe« when the strike is declared
off We further think that to prevent misap-
prehessions the Lehigh Val'ey road should
confirm the rules posted by Mr Voorhees in
August last, as tlrst vice president >>t the
Philadelphia and Keftdln r company We be-
lieve that these suw-estlons are reasonable
and that if they are accepted by your company
the preseut strike will be at om.e terminated.

It is generalIv believed that the
facts that the Pennsylvania road was
cutting into Lehigh territory and that
business had fallen off greatly because
of a virtual boycott on Lehigh coal
caused the compromise. Only seven
coal trains were sent out from one
point yesterday against 100 on ordi-
nary days this season

Martin Anderson Kills an Unknown
Woman and Then Commits Suicide.
OMA 'A, Neb., Dec. 7.—Martin An-
derson, cellar clerk at the grocery
house of Heimrod & Hanson, mur-
dered an unknown woman in the cel-
lar of the store last evening and then
cut his throat fatally. Nothing is
known of the causes of the tragedy.
Anderson had used a paving-stone
and literally pounded the head of his
victim to a jelly There were signs
of an awful struggle. The dead wo-
man was apparently about 30 years
old and almost Anderson's equal
physically, so she was able to make a
desperate fight for life.
After he had finished his work of
murder Anderson took a dull pocket
knife and hacked a gl\astly hole in his
neck. He Hawed and pried with the
dull blade until ho severed both the
wind-pipe and the ca otld artery. He
died from loss of blood.

New Orleans, La., Dec. 7.—The
case of the widow of Abbaganato, one
of the men lynched by the citizens in
the Paris prisonli nearly three years
ago, was called yesterday for trial in
the United States circuit court, Judge
Hoard man presiding. Both sides were
ready for trial, anil a jury was im-
paneled without difficulty.
\ large number of witnesses, in-
cluding the Parish prison officials and
many newspaper reporters, have bee a

Ardmore, Ind. Ter., Dec. 7.—Jim
Able, convicted of horse stealing and
sentenced for tive years by Judge
Bryant of the Paris, Te^as court, is
the man who five years ago shot and
killed Caotain John Miller at his
home on Red river, forty miles south
from this place. Miller was an Indian
by blood, and had a record of having
killed his thirty second man. At his
death he was 72 vears old. His hair
was raven black, aud his general ap-
pearance was that of a 40-year-old
boy.
Horrible Suicide at Fort Scott.
Four Scott, Kan., Dec 7.—Mrs. Luther
Orr, 22 years old, committed suicide
at her home in this city yesterday by
cutting her throat with a razor. She
committed the deed while standing in
her parlor holding her month old
huby in her arms. When neighbors
were attracted by the infant's screams
her lifeless body was found lying in
its own gore on the floor across tho
child. Momentary ins initv is attrib-
uted as the only cause for the act.
THE SHIELDS STATUE.

t hp Hero.
Washington-. Dec. 7.—Another fig-
ure was added this afternoon to the
distinguished array of warriors,
statesmen and inventors whose monu
rnenls, erected in .Statuary hall of the
United States capitol, symbolize the
regard in which they were held.
General .James Shields, who was
thus honored, was a favorite son of
three states and his ashes rest
Missouri, but Illinois, by resolution of
its legislature, decided that his statue
should be oue of the two which it was
entitled to place in the statuary hall.
Illinois, therefore, had the chief
place in to-d;iy's ceremonies, but Mis-
souri and Minnesota also took advant-
age of the opportunity to do speei
honor to tlio memory of thoir soldie
of bygone days, Appropriate cere
monies aud addresses by representa-
tives of the three states marked the
unveiling of the statue.
The ceremonies began at 1 o'clock
with a small street parade, which was
an incident rather than a feature of
the occasion, a troop of cavalry from
Fort Mver atid the artillery band
stationed in this city escorting the
speakers and guests from the Metro-
politan hotel to the capitol. Fol-
lowing the military were carriages
in which were Governor Altgeld
and staff of Illinois; Governor
Nelson and staff of Minnesota;
Governor Stone and statf of Missouri;
the members of the Shields statue
commission, the family of General
Shields; the committee of arrange-
ments. and the executive committee.
Veterans of the Mexican war. mem-
bers of the G. A. It. and of the K
mett guards of this city brought up
the rear.
Many members of both houses were
present. Governor Altgeld of Illinois
had charge of the ceremonies, line
of the principal speakers was Senator
Vest of Missouri.

SCORED BY POL PH.
THE OREGON SENATOR ON
THE HAWAIIAN MATTER.
THE ADMINISTRATION MM.
Th« President Charged With Parti
Hatred Tow *rd 1IU pretleeensor
MlnUter Willis Said Not to Acre*
With Mr. mount's Report —
Other Washington New*
of lieueral Interest.
Washington, Dec. 7.—In the Kenate
yesterday afternoon Mr. Dolph of Ore-
gon, addressed the senate on the part
of the president's message relating to
Hawaii. He began by expressing his
surprise at the utterances of the pres-
ident in his message. Mr. Dolph said
ho eould not ooneeive it possible that
the administration hr.d determined up-
on the forcible overthrow of the ex-
isting* government, and the re>tora-
tion of a corrupt and licentious gov-
ernment. If sueh had been the inten-
tion of the administration, the ex-
pression by the press of the country of
the almost unaniuious public opinion
against sueh a course, he believed
would have changed the purpose of
the Administration, aud have caused
the president to modify his instruc-
tions to the American minister to
Hawaii.
He read a part of the reference of
the president in his message to Haw-
aii and asked whether the rep rt « f
the personal representative of the
president, acting under secret instruc-
tions and conducting an ex parte ex-
amination was entitled to more cre-
dence than the official report of the
former American minister to Hawaii,
and of American naval officers, and
the representations of the represen-
tat Vv-s 6t the Hawaiian erovernment
to this country and of the information
received from the Christian and intel-
ligent persons of Hawaii, since the
revolution.
"It would have been more satisfac-
tory to ine," said Mr. Dolph, "and to
the conntry, had the president been
more explicit as to how it was pro-
posed to undo tho alleged wrongs that
had been done by those heretofore
representing this government, and as
to just how the administration was to
proceed to restore the status existing
at the time of the last forcible inter-
vention. It would have been more
satisfactory if the president had given
to trie senate the instructions of the
present minister to Hawaii, sd'the sen-
ate and the house might know w hat
was proposed by the government."
lie referred to the f\cl that noth-
ing was made public in the diree ion „
of the intention of the administration
until congress had adjourned, w ten
there could be no congressional inter-
ference. The report of Mr. Mount,
said Mr. Dolph, read more like the
plea of a zealous lawyer for his side
of the controversy than like the un-
prejudiced and impartial decision of a
judge. Personally, he would sooner
take the statement of ex-Minister
Stevens; the statement of Mir.
Thurston; that of honorable men who
re engaged in the rebellion; the
testimony that had come from the en-
lightened portion of the Hawaiian *
community, than to take the one-
sided, colored report of Mr. Mount,
and the statements presented in re-
gard to affairs in Hawaii.
MUKK Sl'KClI l./YTI ON.
Minister Willi* and >ir. Mount. Do Not
Seem to Ajjree.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The state de-
partment was evidently already in-
formed of tlie news received in the
press dispatch from Honolulu by way
of Port Townsend so far as it con-
yed the intention of Minister Willis
to take no further s ens toward carry-
ing out his instructions until he should
hear further from the department.
Hut so far'as it conveyed the public
utterance in Hono ulu by the minister
of his intentions, it was news to the
department, to the : resident and his
cabinet. There were indications to
show it was not agreable news, and
the impression was conveyed that the
administration is rather disappointed
at the manner iu which Mr. Willis has
thus far conducted his mission
It is a fair presumption that the
revenue cutter Corwin t arries to him
the further instructions for which he
asks. The paragraph iu the presi-
dent's message referring to Hawaii
was written after the additional in-
structions to Minister Willis had been
sent. This paragraph may be taken
to reflect the spirit of the instructions.
Hy this it will be seen that whatever
doubts or apprehensions Minister
Willis may have expressed of the ac-
curacy or good foundation of the
Blount report, President Cleveland
has not lost arty of his absolute faith
in the accuracy of the Mount investi-
gation and the justice of liis conclu-
sions. It is highly probable, there-
fore, that the new instructions are a
repetition of the old.
Enough is known of Minister Willis'
impressions gained since his arrival
in Honolulu to make it certain that he
does not agree with Mr. Rlount in
this, at least. Whether this impres-
sion caused his determination to await
further instructions from Washington
is a matter of conjecture.
SOt Til IK N COTTON CLAIMS.
A Hill Relating Thereto to lie Favorably
Hi-ported Opoii.
Washington, Dec. 7.—The house
committee on judiciary has about de-
cided to report favorably a bill relat-
ing to Southern cotton claims. There
is now in the treasury about £11,000,-
ooo which has been set apart
to pay certain cotton claims.
The money was originally in-
tended to pay the claims of those
whose loya ty could be properly estab-
lished The proclamation of Presi-
dent Johnson and a decision of the
supreme court, it is claimed, is plainJ
that the proofs of loyalty once de-
manded are no longer required. The
Republican members of the commit-
tee have agreed that the bill shoftld
be reported favorably with a proviso
that no more than the SI 1,000,000 shall
be paid
