STAUVER FIRE Investigating the Importation of Voters in Indiana. WOMEN’S RIGHTS. The Decision of the Court of Appeals Against Lady Sandhurst. Special Cable Dispatch to Taz Eventno Star. Loxpox, May 17.—The unanimous decision of the court of appeals yesterday in Lady Sand- hurst’s case has finally settled the legal ques- tion against the right of women to sit in the county councils, The judge decided that the act expressly enfranchising women as electors has the effect in the absence of any further statement of disqualifying them as candidates. This is another instance of a legal dictum that words in acts of parliament implying man in- clude women when disability or punishment is concerned, but excludes women when a privi- lege is conferred. ‘‘He” means ‘‘she” when the question is one of going to government, but. “he” only means “he” when it is a question of going to the ballot-box. I have just inter- viewed Lady Sandhurst. She says the struggle will now move from the courts to parliament. ‘The county council has passed a resolution b: two to one in favor of women sitting, and a bill has been introduced in that sense. There is much curiosity to see if Salisbury will make [eed his recent promises by supporting it. leanwhile, Lady Sandhurst points out the curious anomaly that although she is ejected from the council because the male candidate next her claimed the seat, Miss Cobden sits on because there is no adverse claim to it. Simi- larly Miss Cons sits as alderman. Lady Sand- hurst tells me a committee is being formed to protect Misses Cobden and Cons against any possible consequence of retaining their seats. ——- A BOULANGER SURPRISE. He is Preparing for a Triumphal Return to Paris. Lonpon, May 17.—Gen. Boulanger is credited with preparing a new surprise for the world. According to good authority, he now intends, since the senate is likely to abandon his prose- cution, to return to Paris. The report says that his followers have been communicated with and the most elaborate preparations are aking for his triumphal return to the French capital. The general is disgusted at his treat- ment in London, and has declared to a friend that he would rather trust to the tender mercies of his own nation and the defense of his friends than to longer trespass on the cool courtesy of the English, with whom he has gained neither fame nor ition. The general complains especially of treatment by the newspapers, many of which have derided him. It is owing, no doubt for the most part, to the pers that Boulanger has been practically Boveotted in England. He commenced his London career more like a showman than a statesman, and has selected as his companions acertain class of public men who are not usually accepted as THE AIDES-DE-CAMP OF SOCIETY. Mr. Mundella, Gladstonian member of par- liament for Brightside, is much disappointed at the result of his efforts to have his bill for the protection of children considered in par- liament, While both liberals and conservatives admit its need and would probubly pass it if i came up, yet more pressing business met this and other good measures back. The bill pro- vides for the proper care of children whose parents secon em. It embraces a clause against the pernicious practice of insuring chilare’s lives, which has -resulted in numer- ous murders of insured children, and also deals with the exhibition of children upon the stage. Mr. Mundella has been working hard to get a night appointed for a hearing of his bill, but he will probably be obliged to wait until after the Whitsuntide recess, The principal publishing houses here are ap- parently vieing with each other in their eager- ness to obtain the rights of publishing the his- tory of Lord Lonsdale’s Arctic adventures.

He Coolly Shoots Down Two Lads and then Escapes. ire “ec Cutcaco, May 17.—Frank Jasinski, aged six- teen, stepped out in front of his father’s saloon last night with a rifle in his grasp. Glancing down the street he saw Frank Kiowski, a lad of his own age and an acquaintance, standing in the front door of his home. Jasinski raised the Yifle, took deliberate aim, and fired. Kiowski fell, the ball having passed through his body two inches above the heart. Jasinski then | coolly took aim and fired at another acquaint- | unce, Mike Meka, who stood at the front door | of his home, 100 feet away, and Meka fell to the | ound, the ball having ontered six inches be- | low the left shoulder-biade. Jasinski escaped. Kiowski’s wound is fatal, but Meka’s injury is | not considered serious. Jasinski belongs to the | same gang with young Kuberowski, who, witb- out provocation, shot a lad named Trinor last Sunday night. Jasinski had gathered in his room a “wild west” outfit. including knives and re- volvers, as well as a lot of flash literature, THE PARNELL COMMISSION. Father O’Donavan Testifies that Evic- tions Cansed Increase of Crime. Loxpoy, May 17.—The Parnell commission resunied its sitting to-day. Father O’Donavan, of Tulla, Ireland, testified that the moon- lighters of that place were opposed to the na- tional league. They had threatened witness, who was under police protection while he was connected with the national league there. He attributed the increase in crime in Ireland during the national league's existence to the actions of the landlords in enforcing evictions. Witness had denounced all resorts to violence from the altar for forty successive Sundays. The commission, it is announced, will not re- port until February, 1890. THE PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY. Reports of Committees Read at To- day’s Session. New Yorx, May 17.—Moderator Roberts called the second day's session of the Presby- | terian general assembly to order shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. The church was but partly filled at the time. The first half hour was spent in aservice of song and prayer. Then the business session began. The old rules for the government of the assembly were adopted. J. I. Duffield, D. D., of New Bruns- wick, extended an invitation to the assembi; from Princeton college and seminary to visit that place a week from next Saturday. The invitation was accepted, and on that day the session of the assembly will close at 11 o'clock. The moderator then announced the standing committees for the session. Upon the invitation of the Union Theological seminary, the assembly will visit that institu- tion immediately upon adjournment onMonday. The report of the committee on extinct churches was then read. In the opinion of this committee, a “church property committee should be a to whom all cases of de- funct churches should be referred.” The re- port was adopted. Rev. Dr. Morris, the chairman of the educa- tional committee, read the report of that com- mittee. The report showed that at present there were more than 500 churches with a member- ship of from 1 to 25 members without pastors, because of lack of funds. This lack of ministeral help, the report said, was a serious question, and one that should be squarely met.’ The rate of dissolu- tion was last year 36 per cent, the largest in the history of the Presbyterian church, The cause of this dissolution, though perhaps due to the migratory habits of the people, is _— ly to be attributed to the need of money. The chairman said that work among the colored people needed attention which it would be wise to give it. The constant diminution of the ministerial force by reason of old age and disease also re- wired attention. In conclusion he said the church must have paid and ordained ministers to meet this growing demand for ministerial aid. It was vital to church interests and re- quired prompt and vigorous action. renee Wrecked in a Sand Drift. Cutcago, May 17.—-A dispatch from Albuquer- que, N.

The body of Superintendent Rich- ards will be sent to Quincy, Ill, where his family live. ——_.—___ From Wall Street To-day.

In 1833 the Reformed Presby- terian church split at a meeting held in Phila- delphia. The seceders or covenanters would not allow their men to vote upon any questions relating to the state or national government, The synod took the opposite view, and said it was a duty they owed to their state and church to take part in all elections. Some of the covenanters now want to vote upon the prohibitory amendment, claiming that it is a righteous cause. For this reason some of them ‘would like to come back to the fold again. Their reason for not voting is that God is not in the Constitution of the United States, > Evideace of Foul Play. Bartrworr, Mp., May 17.—The dead body of Wm.

An Economic Reform in the Method of Making Purchases. Secretary Tracy bas turned his attention to the matter of purchasing supplies for the navy, ang has already made an order inaugurating a considerable economic reform. It appears that the practice of the department has been to purchase supplies for the navy by advertise- ment at the beginning of each fiscal year, mak- ing the list of purchases extensive enough to cover the probable needs of the different bu- reaus during the entire year. Upon inquiry the Secretary learned that in making these purchases regard was not had for the amount of stores on hand. This led to the accumulationof stores, which in many cases rapidly deteriorated and caused A LOSS TO THE GOVERNMENT. To satisfy himself upon this point Secretary Tracy has just procured a statement of the amount of stores now on hand, as the adver- tisements for = for the next fiscal year will soon be issued. This statement shows that there are now on hand stores valued at €2.600,808, and the Secretary intends that the shall be deducted from the value of the stock to be purchased next month. Therefore he has issued the following circular: SECRETARY TRACY'S CIRCULAR. “Navy Derarrxent, Wasurxotox, D. C., May 16, 1889. The appended table gives the total valuation of stores on hand at shore stations at the be- ginning of the fiscal year, for the respective classes comprising supplies of an ordinary commercial nature, as reported to the paymas- ter-general by the general storekeepers, with the gross amounts of purchases and of issues for use under the same classes during the first quarter. In view of the large accumulation shown, and to prevent unnecessary expenditure of money, it is hereby ordered that no purchases be mai of supplics pertaining to those classes, if the stores required can be obtained by transfer from other bureaus at the station where they are needed, or by shipment from otber sta~ tions. To this end, all requisitions for such supplies be examined in the light of the returns to the paymaster general, by whom they shall not be approved for purchase, if the public inter- ests will be subserved by transfer or shipment. In cases where stores are accumulated in undue quantities at certain points, and current wants may be met by a redistribution thereof, it is ordered that such shipments be made to other stations as the needs of the service may sug- gest; and the paymaster Fang is char; with the execution of this duty, after consulta- tion with the chiefs of the bureaus concerned. Wherever it shall be possible to utilize sup- plies differing in unimportant ts from those called for, such substitutes I be made. It is further ordered that supplies required under classes other than those given in the appended table shall, if practicable, be obtained in like manner by transfer or shipment. Freight charges shall be borne by the bureau receiving the supplies in cases of shipments from one station to another. . Interior Department Changes.
