Dudley to vacate the order extending the time of the New York Times and the New York World to answer his complaint in the | action for libel, or at least to limit the time, was denied by J Patterson in the supreme court chambers to-day. In his decision the fpdse says the orders were properly granted. it would be inconsistent to compel the defend- ants to answer with orders outstanding to enable them to procure facts required for their answers. So long as these orders remain unrevoked, says the court, the defendants’ time cannot be limited. The laintiff, as a non-resident, has no greater right | en a resident plaintiff, who must submit to the orders of the court. The examinations do not seem to be asked in bad faith, but are stated upon the oaths of rep- utable counsel to be necessary. ————— Brave Policeman Ellis Dead.

Mr. Hemphill Makes a Good Fight Against Heavy Odds. The District was deprived of its day in the House to-day. About four out of every five of the members preferred to go on with the order for this day by the rules, and this rule can be departed | from by unanimous consent, of by, one at a | time, refusing to consider the several bills | until all on the calendar relating to the District are disposed of. An effort was made to induce Mr. Hemphill to yield the day without resistance, but he pre- ferred to hold it if he could. He made a stub- | born fight for it, calling up one bill after | another as fast as they could be voted down, | until it became evident that no District busi- ness could be done. He first called up the jury | bill, the consideration of which was promptly | refused. Then successively he ‘called up the | bills to relieve building and loan associations from certain taxes,@to relieve Christ's church from taxes on certain property, the pawnbrok- ers’ bill and the bill to acquire property for Rock Creek park. The House refused to con- sider any of them to-day. Mr. Hemphill then tried to get unanimous consent for another day or an evening session for the District busi- ness, He failed in this through the objection of Mr. Blount. Mr. Randall then got up his appropriation bill, COLUMBIA INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF AND DUMB. During the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill in thetHouse this afternoon, Mr. Rogers (Ark.) called attention to the para- graph relating to the Columbia institution for e deaf and dumb, and: asked for information as to whether there had been any change of law pr: id relative to the institution. Mr. Clements (Ga.) explained that the bill limited the entire expenditure of salaries in the institution to $25,000, no matter from what source the money. came. It was further pro- vided that the District of Columbia should hereafter pay one-half of the expenses of stu- dents entering the institution from the Dis- trict. Previously all the expenses of these stu- dents have been paid by the national govern- ment. Existing law provided that the institu- tion might receive from the states forty sti dents free of charge, so far as tuition was con- cerned. The practice had been to receive no students from some states and many from others, The bill proposed to remedy thi QUITE A LONG DEBATE FOLLOWED upon the question. Mr. Rogers made a point of order against the changes in the whole clause from the existing law. Mr. Hitt made a similar point of order against that part of the clause which provided that no more than $25,000 should be expended for salaries and wages. He held that it would be in order to say in this bill that not more than $25,000 of the sum contained in this bill | should be used for salaries, but that they had ia} | 2° right in this bill to put such a limit upon | the expenditure of the donated funds not car- | ried in the sppropopriation bill, Such a pro- vision was a change of existing laws regu- lating this matter, and therefore out of order. Mr. Hemphill argued in favor of the point of order that the clause was a change of law, which proposed to take from the directors of the in- stitution the management of the funds donated to the institution or derived in other ways, He = the proposition was clearly out of order. Mr. Randall thought the proposition was not out of order. The law as it stood was evaded, he said, and larger salaries paid than Congress contemplated; this proposition was to prevent such evasion. THE CHAIR SUSTAINED THE POINT OF ORDER and Mr. Randall then offered an amendment which the chair held to be in order, provid- ing that so much only of this appropriation as would, together with money derived from other sources, make up the sum of $25,000, should be used for salaries, Mr. Hemphill protested against thisffamend- ment, declaring, by comparison, it the amount expended in salaries in this institution was actually and proportionately smaller than | that expended in like institutions elsewhere. | He spoke at length a bee the worthy character ! of the institution, and defenned it earnestly. Mr. Randall said that he was an earnest friend to the institution, and his object was not to injure it but tosee that the money appro- priated went to the benefit of the inmates and not to give extraordinary salaries to individuals, He cited that the president of the institution ot $4,000 per year, his house rent, and, as Mr. Randall understood, the support, practically, of himself and family. MR, HEMPHILL DEFENDED THE INSTIUTTION and opposed the amendment warmly, and a sharp tilt occurred between Mr. Hemphill and Mr. “McMillin, Mr. Hemphill said that if the entleman from Tennessee was better informed e would not speak so rashly as he had dnring the discussion. Mr. McMillin referred to ex- trayagance in, salaries, and took the ground that Mr. Randall occupied, stating that’ it a peared that the inmates Were not properly proportioned among the States. He named certain states that had very few inmates there. “Aare there any applications from these states?” asked Mr. Hemphill. z “T do not know,” replied Mr. McMillin. Mr. Hemphill retorted that that was the way entlemen were speaking without information. fic did not think it right to give the institution a black eye on a supposition. He asked Mr. MeMillin if he had ever been at the institution. Mr. MeMillin replied that he had not, “Heve you?” he said. “L have,” replied Mr. Hemphill. much about the institution.” Mr, MeMillin said there were certain men in the House who thought they knew a vast “Iknow deal. “There are,” retorted Mr. Hemphill; “I can point to one of them,” waving-his hand to- ward Mr. McMillin. Mr. Cannon, Mr. Hitt, and others coped Mr. Randall’s amendments and defended the institution and its methods, : MR. RANDALL'S AMENDMENT.

THE SUPREME COURT HOLDS VALID AN IOWA LAW REGARDING TEXAS CATTLE, The Supreme Court of the United States to- day rendered an opinion of considerable im- portance to cattlemen of the west in the case of P. C. Kimmisby, plaintiff in error, againstJohn J. Ball and Henry Trienken, The case in- yolves the constitutionality of a statute of Iowa, making a mm having in his session within the state any Texas cattle, which have not been wintered north of the southern boundary of Missonri and liable for any es that may accrue from allowing them to run _ at large and thereby spread what is called Texas fever. The two judges in the circuit court of the United States for the southern district of Iowa were divided in opinion, and the case was sent here for final decision with the record, showing that the case had been decided inst the plaintiff on the ground that the Iowa statute was an interference with interstate com- merce and in violation of the constitutional provision giving citizens of the several states all the privileges and immunities of cit- izens of any state. The Supreme Court holds that the Iowa statute is not in conflict with the paramount raeranc ot Congress to regulate interstate commerce. It unable to see that the statute has anything to do with such commerce, The case, it dy 8 is not one of a restriction of commerce, but simpl; @ requirement that whoever permits diseased cattle to run at large shall be liable for any damages occasioned thereby, and the court entertains not the slight- est doubt of the right of a state to enact such a statute, It further holds that as citizens of lowa are liable under the statute the same as citi- zens of other states, there is no force in the objection that the law is contrary to the clause of the Constitution Sipe equal rights in the several states to all citizens of the United States.

THREE PRISONERS GET AWAY AND HAVE XOF YET BEEN FOUND. Sometime last night three prisoners, Will- liam Dunn, Thomas Hendricks and Joseph Campbell, all white, escaped from the work- house and have not yet been captured. They were locked up in cell No.1. When bed-time arrived last night they wero in the cell with other [casager “Jo-Jo” being among the num- ber. They adopted the old plan which has been success: Csi ee 60 many times. The men had en in the habit of go- ing out to work, and while out it is thought that they picked up an old knife or piece of iron of some sort. The knife blade or iron was hacked so as to make a saw of it, which was used in cutting one of the iron bars, How long they have been cutting at the bar is not known, but it no doubt required some time to complete the job, Having thus cut the bar and twisted it out of the way the next thing to do was to find some- thing by means of which they could be lowered to the area way, a distance of about 25 feet. The blankets were then brought into service and made a rope of. Then they had to be lowered without attracting attention or making the slightest noise. In this they succeeded. After being lowered to the yard they vaulted the high board fence and left for unknown. ‘“Jo-Jo” and several other prisoners who were in the cell were too old to risk the escape and probably would not have tried to escape because they may have no other home. jo 6alarm was given by prisoners and their absence was not discovered until after daybreak, when an employe of the workhouse saw the frag- ments of blanket hanging from the cell window. No trace of the fugitives had been found at = nor had the matter been reported to the police. William Dunn was committed to the work- house December 17 for sixty days ona we of carr: concealed weapons.
