VIOLEN ‘Waiting for the Factions in the Choctaw Nation to Come to Blows. Darzas, Trx., March 28.—The News, Antlers, Ind. T., special says: All overtures looking to peace between tho | warring Choctaw factions have been in vain. | | When John C. Gibbons went to the militia Sun- | day night with Locke's ultimatum, they | took the matter under advisement and asked | for another conference with Mr. Gibbons this morning. On returning to the camp yester- | day morning Mr. Gibbons found that! they had been reinforced during the night. | He was informed that two — couriers had been to Gov. Jones the night before with Locke's proposition, and that nothing would be done until Wednesday by which time they ex- | peoted to hear from the governor and would act as he directed. ‘This was not satisfactory to Locke and his people and they declared the armistice at an end. The matter looked aa if the crisis had come. There wasa strong sentiment in favor of tacking the militia at once. Locke decided not to attack, but to move out of town, where, in case of a battle, the lives of women, children and disinterested parties would not be ime perilled. So yesterday afternoon a wagon was loaded with provisions and Locke's forces left Antlers | nd went east. They would not say where they were going, but it is believed that they have crossed the Kiamitia river and have struck camp in the mountains. Locke was interviewed by the News corres- ondent. He said he wanted peace. His home, is wife and children were all at Antlers, his ess was there and these troubles were a nnoyance and loss to him. Asked why not give the men over to the militia he “They would be killed, they aro my friends, I will protect them because they have always stood by me.” THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT INTERFERE. + Catcago, March 28.—Regarding the fac- tional troubles in the Indian nation, Capt. Huggins, aide to Gen. Miles, says: “Unless American citizens are mixed up in the affair and their rights have been in- vaded it is improbable that —_ the government will take cognizance of the trouble, It has never been the policy of the gover ment to do so and I think that it would not in- terfere in any purely Indian trouble, unless it seemed likely that much blood would be spilled and that the quarrel had gone beyond patch- ing up. ‘The various tribes in Indian territory aro well organized, somewhat on the plan of our state governments, and they have militia of their own and all the machinery of law to quiet any disturbance. As @ general rule they enforce the law sirictly. ‘The way in which they have administered their affairs, especially the management of the large funds which the govern- ment pays to them annually as in- terest ‘on the value of their original innds, shows that they are capable of self- government. There is still some of the old bitterness among the members of the various tribes dating back to war times, ‘They were abont evenly divided then on the sides of the north and south, and the animosity engendered at that time has been kept alive to some extent along political lines. I believe, however, that this present trouble will not get beyond the power of the chiefs to control.” EDISON AND HIS PATENTS. He Says That They Have Seen of No Prof to Him in America, ew York, March 28.—Dispatches from Washington intimate that the decision of the Supreme Court in the Huber patent case prac- tically destroys Edison's quadruplex telegraph patent. Mr. Edison said last night that he be- lieved that the American patents on the quad- ruplex had already expired. He said: “The man who framed the law making American patents expire when the prior foreign patents expire was an Andesian, S'Himalayan jockase “I've never made any money on any patents except in England. It is supposed hat the patent laws were made for the benefit of in- ventors, but there is not one inventor in u thousand that has any interest in the final deci- sion of the courts. Iwas perfectly indifferent to the decision of the incandescent lamp case. If it was the prac- tice of the courts to let the inventor have the delay and not the pirates be would get some recompense for his time and labor. Amer- ican inventors are afraid to apply for patents abroad, because the lapse of time in granting a patent by our govern- ment is so great that when they do finally grant it the foreign patent has expired, and under the law the American patent expires with it. If an inventor happens to put something onthe market that is of real worth and the pirate sees it the first thing the inventor knows he has a powerful rival, which threatens to en- guif him at the start, ‘The pirate claims the invention, so does the real inventor, but it is the latter’ who has to prove his right, and as it takes a long while to even prepare his case, he is disheartened from the beginning. ‘The capitalists draw on the inventor's sare in the invention to pay the ex- venses of the litigation, and as all the odds are against him the inventor bas little chane e are thousands of bright men in. thi country today who are simply squelched be- cause of this absurd law.” As to the Bell Telephone Company’s patents, Richard N. Dyer, counsel for the General 3 y said: “There is only one point leftand that the Supreme Court is ex- pected to decide early next term. It is whether the prier foreign patent which limits the United States patent should be prior to the date of is- sue of the United States patent or prior to the filing of the application. The former was the generally accepted view until it was cast in | doubt by recent decisions of the Supreme Court. Should the Supreme Court cide that the foreign tent be granted prior tothe appli m for the United States patent the variou Edison patents referred to in the dispatch and many other patents will become entirely inde- pendent of the foreign patents and will ran for full terms of seventeen yearn, “This, in the case of ‘the Edison patents of carbon ‘telephone transmitters, which were | granted as recently as 1591, will make those patents extend to 1908, and if the courts should sustain them these patents will give the Bell | Telephone Company the monopoly of the carbon | telephone transmitters until that date.” ee POCAH ONTAS IN ERONZE. ‘The Smith Family to Erect a Monument to an Historic Event.

Eight were seen in a settlement and were vory saucy. They entered houses, demanded pro- visions and they wanted everything. An alarm was sent to the settlement below, and fifteen armed men went to the rescue. The Indians said that they had no per- mit and needed none and were going to the Colorado river. They also stated there were ten more of the party ¥ other horse tracks were seen. were well armed, even the children carried pistols and cartridge belts. They went west toward New River. Gov. Murphy will telegraph the Indian agent at San Carlos. ‘The Indians said that many were sick on the reservation and they wanted to getaway. The citizens of Cave creek think they are “Kid” and_ his band going to join the Mojaves near White Sills. WRECKED IN CHICAGO'S SUBURBS. An Express Train Kans Down an Accom- modation.

The eame phenomenon is reported from Santa Cruz, San .uis, Obespio and other points in the state. Efforts are being made to communicate with Lick observatory and other observatories which are shut off from telegraphic connection at this hour. Be te Against the Market Company's Offe A gentleman who requests the Commissioners ‘not to give his name out for publication writes to the board of Commissioners today, protest- ing against acceptance of the offer of the Wash- ington Market Company to clean up after the farmers on the south side of B street between ‘7th and 12th streets for 25 cents for each two- horse wagon per day. Ho sare: “Why not simply require the farm- ers to clean up. and let them appoint one of their own number, or a committee, to do it any way they choose? ‘They can do’ the work for Scents wagon. The tax to be eventually paid by the consumers upon each farmer who attends thrice a week will amount to $39 a year, a perfectly outrageous sum for the poor’ privilege of an _unsheltered stand and the after cleaning up. The receipts of the company would be anywhere from $10 to $40.a day from this source. There are plenty of poor men with carts who would be glad to contract to do the work for $2.50 8 market day. ee The Sanitary League. ‘The council of the Sanitary League of the District will meet to night at 8 o'clock in the board of trade room.

ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRES. ‘The attorney for the District, in an opinion on the request of the United States Electric Lighting Company for permission to lay addi- tional underground wires, holds that the Com- missioners have the power to authorize the ad- ditional construction applied for by the company. He eays in support of his opinion that the proviso contained in the statute relat- ing to telegraph and telephone service recog- nizes @ continuing power in the Commissioners to grant such permits. THE OTHER SIDE WANT A HEARING. A committee composed of Messrs. Beyer, Wright, Sweeny and Schroth, representing the farmers and truck gardeners doing business at the Center Market,cailed upon the Commission- this afternoon for the purpose of arranging a day when they could appear before the board and argue the question of permitting the Market Company to take charge of the cleaning of the space occupied by them on the south side of B street between 7th and 12th, The Commissioners promised to notify them when they could be heard. lite E Mrs. Cleveland's Reception. ‘Mrs, Cleveland's reception today from 12 to 1 was twice as large as heretofore, She received as usual in the blue room, the visitors being admitted in groups as they arrived. The fine day and the cecasion brought out a great va- riety of elegant spring costumes, and the event was gayer than any the blue room has witnessed the past year. All the visitors came pointment, as is the custom, and they choice of selecting either today or Friday for the pleasure they desired in meeting Mrs, Cleveland. ‘Tomorrow afternoon at 2:80 Mrs. Cleveland will receive the ladies of the diplomatic corps. This announcement has been sent them through the State ment, Mrs. Cleveland having learned that was very general disappoint- ment manifested by the ladies of the corps in not having been received when the gentlemen | term Grain teights j ti the | great Senators. THE REASOXS WHY IN THEIR OPINION 4 GOVER- SOR OF A STATE HAS NOT THE RIGHT TO APPOINT A SEXATOR WHEN THE LEGISLATURE FAILS TO ELECT. Senator Vance, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, in behalf of the minority of the committee, today submitted to the Senate a report on the case of Mr. Lee Mantle, finding that he is not en- itled to take bis seat as a Sena- tor from Montana The report is signed by Senators Vance, Gray, Palmer and Mitchell, Asin the case of the majority re- port presented yesterday by Senator Hoar, the minority report deals directly only with the | claims of Mr. Mantle, but both are intended to cover as well the cases of all three of the ap- Pointed Senators—Messra. Mantle, Beckwith and Allen. ‘The question presented, according to the | minority report, is: Could the governor of the state appoint a senator at the beginning of ; Rew term, the legislature being in session and refusing or failing to elect? The report quotes the Constitution provision | and the act of 1866 relative to the election and appointment of Senators and then contends that the original terms of Senators must begin by being chosen by the legisiature. As there are but two ways of constituting Senators, so there are obriously but two wars of creating vacancies; one, the primary way, by the expiration of ‘the constitational for which the Senator was. elected: the other, the accidental or unforseen | or unexpected happening of some easuality to | or upon the incumbent, such as death before his term ended, resignation, expulsion, disqual- ification or any other cause that should take | him out of the o®tice to which he was elected. ACCIDENTAL INTERRUPTION. Now, the Constitution having made specific and express provision for filling the original term of each Senator by the legislature, there | remained nothing else to provide for except those accidental interruptions of a term which should “happen” to 1 ancy. The manner of this and the kind of vacancy or of cause | which might create such a vaca fied by the example given, as by “resignation or otherwise.” The rule of legal interpretation undoubtedly is thet where specific words are used, followed by more general words, the gen- eral words are qualified by the specitic words. Copious citations from high legal authorities are given to sustain this contention, which is then applied to the clause of the Constitution | in question. It is held that the method of | choosing Senators for the full term having been provided for there remained no other | necessity of providing for the filling | of Senators’ seats except in case of an accidental happening, and this is provided for by the words: “If vacancies shall happen by resignation or otherwise during the recess of the legislature,” ete. Plainiy and unmistakably the manner in which such vacancies were to happen are exemplified by the word “resigna- tion” and addition of the general words “or otherwise” referred only to the unenumer- ated methods of a similar kind by which such accidental vacancy might occur. If we apply the ordinary rales of construction there is no escape from this, but if, as contended, the word “otherwise” embraces any possible vacancy then it would be without any limitation or qualification whatever, and the word “resigua- tion” would be eliminated and destroyed. It may be added also without irreverence that our respect for the learning and common sense of the framers of our constitution would be likewise destroyed, If they had in- tended to provide thet the governors should fill every vacaney that could possibly happen during the recess of the legislature, then they would have said so, as they did in the case of @ Nuular provision ‘for ‘filling vacancies in the which happen in the representation of y state, as provided in the fourth clause of section 2 MEANING OF THE WORD “iHAPPE: At this point the report discusses at length the exact meaning of the word “happen,” as used indifferently for “occur” or “come to pars.” Touching the contention that the Constitu- tion requires the Senate to be full, by any and all means, the report denies the correctacss of that statement, although its purpose was to have the state representation full by the o} tion of its specific provisions for’ fi regular terms both at the beginning an as they legally expire; and for provid- ing against’ any accidental seen casualties by which ecats thus filled might become vacant other than by legal expiration of terms. Further than this no man ean say that the constitution makers intended to go. It cannot for a moment be supposed that they contemplatd or intended to provide for a case where either the legislature or the gov- eruor ef a state should want only or with any otber motive or for 1y reason cither refuse or fail to perform their duty in the creation of Senators, This would have been toexpress a doubt and want of faith in the Petpetuity of tho structure which they were uilding. On the country, it is just and rea- sonable to suppose that, having in- vested each state with certain specific rights as to representation in this body and imposed upon them the duty of exercising these rights in a certain specified way, patriotism and self-interest would combine to secure the enjoyment of these rights more effectually than any provision which they could possibly insert in the constitution. OPPosiNG THE MAJORITY. ‘The majority say that the permissive power to appoint controls and is paramount to the mandatory power of the legislature to elect, which is illogical in the ex! clearly is only intended to gi right to keep the Senate full by appointments and nothing more. In every mention in the Constitution of the crealion of Senators, but one, an election, is contemplated. It is calculated to excite a emile to suggest thata state is deprived by the action of Con- gress in any possible way of her equal suffrage in the Senate if her legislature refuses to elect Senator and send him here or if the gover- nor, in the case of a failure of the legislature to elect, shall refuse to appoint aSenator and send him here. Both of these things have happened and nine states at different times have been for one or more years with but one Senator in these halls and no harm happened to state or nation. ‘The danger arising from the failure of a state to have full representation for short time is not fora moment to be compared with the danger which comes from a departure from the Constitution. The idea cannot be tolerated ‘that we are at liberty to compel a construction of the instrument in any manner opposed toa clear meaning of particular words and phrases. THE THREE CASES. The spectacle here presented of three states, at the same time and in the same manner, and by the same or similar combinations, refusing to perform their constitutional duty of elect- ing Senators to this body for the of throwing the appointment into the hands of the executive under the vicious precedents which have lately been established is little short of a scandal upon constitutional ment. It enables us to see with what ease a few ambitious and aspiring men in every legis- lature, by « combination with the executive, can defeat the will of the people and the plain urpose of execution. Min the carce of Mantle and Beckwith the cancies occurred despite their sworn duty to fill them. If legislatures can thus be to tamper with the Constitution and laws of their country and be rewarded with success and impunity, we respectfully submit that a wr bts been inficted upon the good order and legal government of our country the ney of ite institutions, | by the used in the Constitution, and denies that it is!

QUARTERS FOR THE NEW COURP= When It Comes Into Existence op the 84 of April. While it is the intention of Marshal Ranedell to provide quarters for the District Court of | Appeals in the City Hall, as stated in Tux Sram several days ago, he now fears that he will not, for some time at leat, beable to locate the court where be first intended, in the southwest corner of the building, ow- ing to the inability of the civil service commission to secure @ suitable build- ing. Itis, therefore, more than likely that the court will occupy the room now used by the Court in General Term. When thectvil service commission does vacate ite present quarters in the city hall, which will not be later than the Ast of July next, the Court of Appeals will un- doubtediy be located in the second story of the southeast corner of the building, in the rooms rs ago occupied by the board of eldecmen officials independent of & of the Court eral Term, whose office 1s not cistarbed 1on of the new court. Althougi the clerk of the new court will be appointed by the judges, and they are yet un- known, candidates for the position aro already making themselves known, it being understood that Mr. bh Tt Willett, one of the clerks ef the District Supreme Court, and Mr. Albert Harper are willing to au the position, which will pay €3,000 a year, with an allowance of €2.000 tor assistants. The ener of the court will receive an annual ealary of $1,200 and there are several applicants for this postion. ——— PRACTICAL LOCAL OPTION. This is the Construction Placed on the New Liquor Law by the Good Templars. Mr. A. N. Canfield, chairman of the com- mittee on legislation of tho Independent Or- der of Good Templars, called upon the Com- missioners this afternoon and presented the following letter: ‘The act of Congress ap- proved March 2, 1893, regulating the tale of intoxicating liquors in the District is im effect a local option law and it makes the sides of any two squares confronting on oppo- site sides of the street a local option district for the purpose of deciding whether or not licenses may be granted to sell intoxicating liquors there at retail. It also provides that in each local option district the vote shall be taken annually that the owners of real estate and the resident housekeepers on such confronting squares snall be the legal voters: that the vote aball be taken in writing and in the form of an ap- plication or petition, and that it ehall be taken on the Istday of November in each year. sy inference this act also provides that when ®m application is made for the privilege transferring a license trom one person to another @ special election may be held in that particular local option district at which the qualified voters under this act shall determine whether the the transfer may or may not be made. The rale is well established and universal that when a question is to be settled by avote of the electors of any district or locality, or of any society or organization, the time for taking such vote shall be fixed; that all Persons interested, at least ali who are entitled to vote on the question,shail ave due notice of the time set for taking such vote, and that the yote shall be taken at the time fixed and abno other time. PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS.

As stated in yesterday's Stan the Commis- sioners requested the attorney for the District to advise them as to their powers in permitting applicants for licenses under the new law to keep their places of business opea until licenses have been granted or refused by the excise board, both as to cases where applica- tions were made to the Commissioners and waich were not prior to the 3d day of March, 1898, and as tonew cases brought for the first time to the attention of the excise The following opinion was received today in the above: ~The question as meaning of section 17 bas just ro and con and construed by Jodge Miller in the late case of the District against Bush.
