An account ef the only rational mode of treat- ment. Pamphlet edition, 10c, Address Dr. WILL- 1A ‘, New London, Cont a: AS A CURIOSITY MERELY. How the Big Krupp Gun is Regarded . by American Ordnance Officers. The oft-repeated statement that the gov- ernment is negotiating for the purchase of the big Krupp gun exhibited at the world’s fair is denied at the War Department in the most positive terms. The reports went so far as to say that the government was willing to give $60,000 for the gun, a sum about $40,000 less than the estimated cost of reproducing a similar gun. There is not much doubt that the agents of the Krupp establishment are disposed to part with the gun at a reasonable price, rather than have the trouble and expense of its transporta- tion back to Germany. It cost a great deal of money to bring the gun here—in fact, it was only under positive orders from the kaiser that it was sent out at all. Messrs. Krupp did not wish to exhibit it at Chica- go,but Emperor William insisted upon their doing so. If they could sell it even at a big reduction to the United States, they would reimburse themselves for expendi- tures up to date, and save the further cost of carrying it back to Essen. The Krupp gun is larger than any piece of ordnance used by the United States. Its caliber is a fraction less than seventeen inches, and requires the use of special am- munition. The present standard caliber in the United States service for large guns is sixteen inches. The Krupp gun differs from the American gun also in being built upon the wedge instead of on the sliding screw principle. Ordnance officers on duty in Washington are opposed to the purchase of the foreign gun. They say that if any money is to be expended for heavy ord- nance it should be for the manufacture of guns of our own of the most modern type, rather than for the purchase of foreign- made ordnance made years ago, and lack- ing important modern improvements. Monarchical Approval. From the New York Sun. In ‘the general, panic-stricken abandon- ment of Mr. Cleveland's great Hawaiian scheme by its former supporters, even Nordhoff and Springer keeping mum, words of ay roval for it come across the ocean from the realms of William II and Victoria. There, at least, Mr. Cleveland's eagerness to overthrow the only republic in the Pacific, and to replace it by a throne, is appreciated. The Times of London praises his firm at- titude, and also does not conceal its admi- ration for Liliuokalani’s spirit and senti- ments in her famous secret interview of November 13 with Minister Willis. Her de- sire, expressed on that occasion, to have the heads of her enemies, strikes the Times not at all as revolting, but as royal. “In the dramatic conyersation reported by Mr. Willis she exhibited acuteness of under- standing as well as queenly dignity of a really striking kind.” Conceding that she was “well advised” In afterward conform- ing to the terms offered to her, and in Promising to abandon her purpose to secure | for herself the heads and the property of the Americans, the Times nevertheless in- | sists that “the objections she originally urged against the terms have a deal of | force.” roo Woman's Relief Cor The Woman's Relief Corps gave a de- lightful entertainment last evening at Builders’ Exchange Hall, when music, lit- erary exercises and dancing were the feat- ures of the evening. The music and reci- tations were followed by some pretty fancy dancing by the pupils of Miss Starky, after which the floor was cleared for general dancing. The floor committee consisted of G. W. Hazer and A. Burgess, and those who contributed to the evening's enter- tainment were Miss Laport, Miss Connors, Mrs. Fentris, Miss Jackson, Miss McCreary, Mrs. Benham, Mr. Mcintyre, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Myers. A pleasant feature of the Program was the mandolin duet by Miss Jacobson and Miss McCreary. Cruiser Montgomery's Trial Postponed The Montgomery's trial will not take Place today. The contractors were ready, but the government was not. Capt. Cooper of the trial board, who has been out on the | sound locating buoys on the course, at) New London. returned last evening. He said to Admiral Walker that all the buoys pt one are in place, but that untavor- | eather had prevented him from com- | pleting the work. The postponement may be until Saturday. soe ~ 6,400 Pairs of Shoes to Be Sold. A Lynn manufacturer has sold to A. M.

PROGRESS OF THE BRAZILIAN WAR. A Big Deficit in the Prussian Re- ceipts. OTHER FOREIGN MATTERS. ee BERLIN, Jan. 18.—An anarchist named Rodrian issued a call a few days ago for the unemployed workmen to hold a meet- ing at a brewery at Friederichshain, a suburb of Berlin. ‘The meeting was to have been held to- day, but the police, having in mind the origin of the serious riots in 1802, deter- mined to arrest Rodrian, thinking that if he was locked up the meeting would not be held. Consequently he was taken into cus- tody last night, and the news of his arrest quickly spread. The police were right in their conjecture that with Rodrian out of the way there would be no meeting. Quite a number of men proceeded to the brewery, but there was no attempt at speech making. The crowd growled at what they termed the arbitrary action of the police in arraign- ing Rodrian, but no overt acts were com- mitted. Later in the day a crowd of people gath- ered before the Konigsthur and acted in a very disorderly manner. The police order- ed them to disperse, but were met with jeers and with flat refusals to obey the order. Finding that moderate measures would not suffice to disperse the crowd, orders were given to the police to draw their swords and charge the rioters. The order was ut once obeyed and the crowd broke and scattered in every direction. Several times afterward the mob attempted to gather, but the police were vigilant and prevented them. Conflicts were frequent and many of the rioters were hurt, though none seriously. ‘The authorities, fearing that there might be trouble at Friederichsrain, ordered the mounted police there to scour the streets and prevent any assemblages on them. Whenever a knot of men would gather the police would at once disperse them, A large number of arrests were made. It is evident that the police think the situa- tion threatening. Count Stilifired, chief of the criminal po- lice, is personally directing the entire zorce, which includes the reserves, who have been called out. It is feared that there will be serious disorders tonight, as the mob seems to be in fighting mood. At the time this dispatch is sent—4 p. m. —the conflict continues at the Koningsthur, which is just outside the city. Dr. Gum: plowiez, an anarchist from Zurich, who, it Was announced, would speak at the pro- posed meeting, has been arrested. Mounted police are scouring Friedrich- shain and are making many arrests. Any knots of men forming on the side streets are at once dispersed. Desperate Condition of the Unemploy- ed. MADRID, Jan. 18.—Affairs in the Cadiz district are in an alarming condition, ow- ing to the great number of men idle. The men have been rendered desperate by hun- ger, and the pillaging of shops and farm houses is of frequent occurrence. The anarchists of Cadiz were formerly well-supplied with money, but now their sources of supply have been cut off by the suppression of the anarchist associations. It is thought that most of the crime that has been perpetrated in the district is the work of the anarchists, who, until they were thrown out of employment, depended on their honest exertions for a livelihood. An armed band of men recently entered the village of St. Enil and kidnaped a rich farmer for ransom. Others stopped and robbed a mail coach. Gendarmes are in pursuit of them, SEIZED BY INSURGENTS. An Island Captured in the Rio Harbor of No Value to Them. LONDON, Jan. 18.—A dispatch from Rio Janeiro, dated yesterday, states that the insurgents have again occupied Moncangue Island, north of Nictheroy. Their posses- sion of the island is, however, of little use to them, owing to the fact that the position is commanded by the government forces, with five guns, on Armacao Point, directly opposite the island. Further official dispatches received at Rio Janeiro announce that the defenders of Bage, in Rio Grande do Sul, had succeeded in driving off the insurgents who had long besieged the town, and that the place has suffered considerable damage. These dis- patches confirm the first reports that the lasurgents committed many atrocities upon the people living outside the town. PRUSSIA’S BL DEFICIT, It is 12,400,000 Marks Greater Than Last Year. BERLIN, Jan. 1%.—The Prussian budget was presented to the landtag today by Dr. Miquel, the finance minister. The revenues are estimated at 1,5 449,301 marks, an in- crease of 43,036,131 marks over the preced- ing fiscal year. The ordinary expenditures are estimated at 1,891,612,410 marks, an in- crease of 47,509,155 marks. The extraordinary expenditures are placed marks. The deficit is estimated at 70,200,000 marks, which is 12,400,000 marks in excess of the deficit of the preceding year. This deficit it is proposed to cover by issuing a loan. The aeficit is due to the increased matricular payments, Prussia'’s payment this year being 37,058,915 marks higher: than last year. DEFENSELESS CORSICA. A Frenchman Says That an Enemy Could Take It. PARIS, Jan, 18.—The Echo de Paris to- day publishes an interview with Admiral Lefevre in regard to the charges against the raval administration made last week by M. Clemenceau in La Justice. Admiral Lefevre denies the charges gen- erally, but admits that the Toulon store- houses were short of biscuit in 183. He adds, however, that the deficiency was sup- corn furnished by the bake house. The alleged defects in vessels and delays in their construction are due, he says, to the complicated construction of modern warships, which are veritable pieces of clockwork. The British, he adds, build better and quicker because they have superior implemen's. The remedy will be found about 1%5, when all war material will have been completed, M. Naquet, a member of the chamber of deputies, declares in the Figaro today tnat the French system of coast defense is of the fauitiest kind, owing to the differences between the ministers of war and marine. He adds that undivided command js ineces- sary to organize without delay the defense of Corsica, which land, as its defenses now are, would be immediately captured by an enemy in the event of war. SICILY AGAIN QUIET. Rumors Regarding the Red Cross So- clety Cause Alarm in Rome. righted, 18%, by the United Press, ROME, Jan. 18.—Rumors that were cur- rent here to the effect that the service of the Red Cross Society was about to be mobilized caused momentary alarm, it be- ing thought that such action indicated that very serious trouble was anticipated in some part of the kingdom. The rumors were officially denied today. They erose from the measures that have been projected to use the Red Cross Society in Sicily, in the transportation of the wounded, if the conflicts in that island are now continued. Perfect calm prevails throughout Sicily. Weather in Ru: ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 18. in southern Russia is becoming colder. At Odessa there is a field of ice that extends twenty miles seaward.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 18.—A dispatch from Rome to the Independence Belge says that the intimate friends of Prime Minister Crispi believe that owing to the situation in Italy daily becoming worse he will demand of the chamber of deputies that plenipo- tentlary power be conferred upon him for a year. Collided Off the Inle of Wight. LONDON, Jan. 18.—The Norwegian bark Adolf, Capt. Andersen, from Pensacola, December 1, for Dordrecht, has been towed into Gravesend with her bowsprit gone and her stem damaged. She was in collision Tuesday morning with an unknown Steamer off the Isle of Wight. Rescue of Shipwrecked Captains, HALIFAX, Jan. 18.—The steamer St. Pierre arrived at North Sydney yesterday from Newfoundland. Capt. Diggins of the schooner Sarah H. Putnam was on board. His vessel was caught in the Ice. Capt. Robins and the crew of the schooner Alert. also came. The Alert was lost January 12 on Romeo's Island. Smith & Wenson Lose. BRUSSELS, Jan. 18—Judgment was ren- dered today in the case of Smith & Wes- son, the American small arms manufactur- ers, against the Liege manufacturers charged with counterfeiting the trade mark of the American firm. All the accused were acquitted and the plaintiffs were ordered to pay the gosts of the proceedings. Fast in the Ice. PICTOU, N. S., Jan. 18—The govern- ment steamer Stanley, which keeps up winter communication between the main land and Prince Edward Island, is fast in the ice at Malignant Cove, fifteen miles east of Pictou light. Debate in the Reichstag. BERLIN, Jan. 18.—The debate on tné wine tax bill was opened in the reichstag today by Count von Posadowsky, secre- tary of the imperial treasury, who de- fended the necessity for the measure. Dr. Buerklin, national Mberal, opposed the bill. os DR. MEYER PROBABLY INNOCENT. ‘arl Muller Adm That Hix Testi- mony Against Him Was False. NEW YORK, Jan. 18—It is possible the public of this city will soon hear the last of the Meyer case. Carl Muller, alias Au- gust Wimmers, the informer, who was the principal witness for the prosecution in the trial of Dr. H. C. F. Meyer for the murder of Ludwig Brandt, alias G. H. M. J. Baum, has grown tired of his long imprisonment, and with a view of securing his release has entered into negotiations with the prison- er’$ counsel. Although Dr. O'Sullivan, the defendant's counsel, would not enter into the details of these communications, the Tribune says it may be safely inferred from his manner that Muller's information ap- pears to be such as to put an end to the trial and make Meyer a free man as far as the charge of murder is concerned. Ac- cording to the story it seems that Muller had completely retracted all his former ories and is willing to admit ‘that they were false, and that they were concocted partly for the sake of his own preservation and partly from motives of revenge. Dr. Meyer was accused of poisoning Baum, having secured his insurance policy. He was put on trial some weeks ago in New York, but during its progress one of the jurors became insane and the trial had to be given up. ee GOING TO BALTIMORE. ngress Who Will At- Members of © tend the Confe. BALTIMOE, M4., Jan.18.—Speaker Crisp, U. 8. Senators Ransom, Mills and Hunton, Congressmen Wheeler, Hooker, Allen and Mallory have accepted invitations to at- tend the fourteenth annual banquet of the Maryland Confederate Society at the Car- rollton Hotel tomorrow night. Preceding the dinner an address will be made at Har- ris’ Academy of Music by Col. Charles Mar- shall. He will describe the scenes attend- ing the surrender of Gen. Lee to Gen. Grant, at which Col. Marshall was present. Toasts at the banquet will be “The Infan- try,” responded to by Senator Ransom; “The Artillery,” by Speaker Crisp; “The Cnvalry,” by Gen. Wheeler. and “The Navy,” by Congressman Mallory, son of the confederate secretary of the navy. > CHAMPIONSHIP COURSING. It is Proposed to Have'a Great Meet at St. Louls, CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—A special to the Herald from St. Louis says: In connection with the big bench show to begin in this city under the auspices of St. Louis Kennel Club Mareh 20 to 23, the St. Louis County Coursing Association is figuring on hold- ing a big championship coursing meet, open to the entire United States, at Brent- wood Park. Dr. Van Hummel, president of the Water- | loo Kennel Club of Indianapolis, and one of the leading hound breeders in the United | States, is in the city, and promised to enter all his crack greyhounds, now in training for the Brentwood meet, in addition to making a big exhibit at the bench show. ‘The feature of the Brentwood mect will be a sixty-four dog stake, with a guaran- teed value of $1,000. nas CLAIMS AGAINST IRON HALL. They Must Be Proven With the Re- ceiver. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan, 18.—Judge Win- ters bas decided to issue an order calli upon all persons who have claims against the Order of the Iron Hall to prove them Under one of the extst- ing orders a 1 per cent dividend ts paid io certain claimants; under another a divi- dend will be paid after January 21 on un- paid warrants or checks. ‘The court's new order will apply to all claimants against the Iron Hall.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18—Three thousand tallors, representing over 500,000 employers and employes, met in Cooper Union last night to protest against the Wilson bill. A long petition to Congress was presented to the meeting and signed by most of those present, setting forth that the interests of the tailors would be subjected to gross in- justice by the amendment of paragraph 296 of the tariff laws of 1890, contained in the Wilson bill. ——— Ciaim for Supplies at Valley Forge. READING, Pa., Jan. 18.—Col. Nicholas Lotz of this city furnished supplies to Washington's army at Valley Forge. His heirs held a meeting here yesterday. They claim that he has never been paid in full and will shortly present ‘a claim to Con- gress for nearly $4,000,000. About forty in- terested persons were present. The neces- sary funds were subscribed to push the claim. > Robbery of a Boston Jeweler.

Post Office Inspector Dice wires the de- partment from Galveston, Texas, that he has taken into custody a man having in his possession a quantity of postage stamps and giant powder. The prisoner was taken in a cheap boarding house and refuses to talk. The unknown made two efforts to escape. The inspector fears he cannot identify the stamps and will fail to lodge the charges. | the treasury of the United States, or rather EARLY BOND OFFER. A Capitalist Wants to Take the Whole Issue. WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. It Is Desired That the People Should Get the Bonds, TO BE READY ON TIME. 2 Active preparations are being made at the Treasury Department for the issue of $50,- 000,000 five per cent bonds in accordance with the terms of yesterday's circular. That there will be no difficulty whatever in placing the entire amount of the loan is shown by the offers already received by the Secretary of the Treasury, and some of the largest dealers in government securities have not yet been heard from on the sub- ject. A well-known capitalist had an inter- view with Secretary Carlisle this morning and expressed his willingness to take the entire $50,000,000 at the minimum premium of $117,223. There is no likelihood of the acceptance of this or any similar offer, as it is contrary to the Secretary's Gesire of making the loan a popular one to which the public generally may subscribe. On this theory it is pro- posed to encourage offers for small lots from all sections of the country rather than to have the entire loan taken by a few deal- ers in large blocks. The idea naturally in- cludes the hope that the small denomina- tions be taken in preference to the. larger ones. This would, of course, mean the is- sue of a great many more bonds, but at the same time would indicate that they were in the hands of the people rather than in the hands of capitalists exclusively. The Bonds Ready. The plates for the new bonds are in an advanced state of preparation and will be completed in every detail in ample time for delivery after the Ist of February, the date fixed for the consideration of the of- fers for the purchase of bonds. The issue for the present will be confined to denominations of $50, $100 and $1,000 of coupon bonds and $50, $100, $1,000 and $10,000 of registered bonds. In case it is deemed advisable arrangements will be made for $500 coupon and $5,000 registered bonds. The plates for these last two de- rominations are not ready yet, but can be completed in a few weeks in case they are needed. All the plates referred to were made at the bureau of engraving and printing early last spring by order of ex-Secretary Chas. Foster, in anticipation of an issue of bonds ‘during his administration, but the plan for their issue was finally disapproved by President Harrison. . No Delny. It has been necessary to make certain changes in the date and legend on the plates, but otherwise they need no altera- tion for present use. Chief Johnson of the bureau of engraving and printing told a Star reporter today that the bureau would have no trouble whatever in supplying the bonds at the time fixed for their issue, and that it would not require an increase of force and very little extra work to prepare the bonds. He said that Mr. Will H. Low, the New York artist, had been employed for a short time, with the view of amprov- ing the general work of design at the bu- reau, and that he wouid have nothing to do with the preparation of the plates for the rew bonds, Several Offers. Today Secretary Carlisle received quite a number of offers for the bonds. One offer | was for $100,000 at $1.18. Secretary Carlisle believes from offers already received that the total offering wili aggregate nearly .K) and that the price will reach -20, making the bond practically bear 2 1-2 per cent interest. Gold Distribution. In view of the fact that the new issue of bonds will be sold only for gold it is inter- esting to note where the gold in the United States is. Official returns made to Con- troller Eckels by national banks on De- cember 19 last throw some light on this subject. Since that date the treasury has lost about $13,000,000 in gold, which has | found its way into the banks. It is curious to note at this time that the national banks of New York city alone hold more gold than than it contains “free gold.” In the figures given gold certificates are included in the gold.

Treasury officials who have taken the trouble to search the records call atten- tion to the fact that practically the same state of affairs existed in 1857, during the | pendency of the Walker tariff. Revenues declined and a number of loans and bond issues were made to keep up current ex- penses and pay maturing bonds. The loans made were: 1858, treasury $23,716,300; 1859, treasury notes, 667,400; 1860, treasury notes, $11,305,20 IN, fifteen-year 5 1860, fifteen- ; 1860, ten-year 5 1840, treasury wenty bonds at 6 1861, treasury notes, s paid on the public 1859, $14,685,043; 1860, 7,100, to 1861 the cash in the treas- had declined from $18,701,000 in the | notes, $10,000.04 ury former year to $2,862,000 in the latter year, and the public debt for the same period, | less cash in the treasury, had increased 8,000 in ISST to $87,718,000 in 1861. at this period that what are It was known as war loans began, reaahing with- in four years a national debt of $2,756,431,- S71. A MEDAL OF HONOR Given t Gen. Carr for Distinguished Services at Pea Ridge. . A medal of honor has been awarded to Gen. Eugene A. Carr for distinguished gal- lantry at the battle of Pea Ridge, Ark., May 7, 1842, in accordance with the act of Congress approved March 3, 1868, providing for the presentation of medals of honor to officers and soldiers as have most distin- guished themselves in action. Gen. Carr was twice wounded at the bat- tle of Pea Ridge, called by the confederates “Elk Horn Tavern,” and it is generally con- ceded that his division saved the day. The battle of Pea Ridge was one of the most important ones of the war in the south- west and decided the fate of that section of the country. The assistant secretary of war has lately stated that officers should receive medals not only for their war service, but for Indian service. . The friends of Gen. Carr would like to see an Indian medal given to him. No officer in the army has done better or harder Indian service than Gen. Eugéne Carr, and one has only to read the early histories of Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska to know the dis- tinguished part he played so well. The leg- islatures of Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado voted him a resolution of thanks for ridding their states of hostile Indians, a on Judicial Appointments. Justice Gray of the Supreme Court will probably be called upon to make temporary appointments as United States marshal for the northern district of New York, and as United States attorney for the southern district of New York, which are vacated by the expiration of the terms of Mr. Baxter and Mr. Mitchell, respectively. The im- pression is strong that the incumbents will be reassigned to their present duties until the President is able to make permanent appointments to these offices. eee ere It 1s announced officially that the East Indian government does not intend to put an import duty on silver to assist in the execution of its financial policy. | February, 1894.

Moulton for the father. The respondent was lately on the pclice force, and a few weeks ago was fined in the Police Court for assaulting his wife the day after the birth of the child. and was dismissed frem the force. Both parties, with their friends, were present, the father with little Rardolph in his lap, and the mother with her five-weeks-old infant in her lap, and the other seventeen-months-old child. Ethel. The hearing was opened by reading the petition, followed by the answer, in which respondent denied the allegations against him, asserted that she was addicted to the use of drinks, was out of the house on the streets at unseasonable hours, kept bad compary, had threatened to poison herself and children, allowed Randolph to run the streets, &c. Affidavits of the mother, sister and other friends of the respondent were At the suggestion of the justice Mr. Fit- nam called oral testimony and Mrs. Anna Mills (the petitioner's sister) testified to Hendricks’ treatment of his wife, indig- nantly repelling the charge that they drank to excess. On cross-examination Mrs. Mills said the alleged disturbances created by her sister were when she went for her child. When Hendricks told his wife that she could take all the things and two chil- dren the day after the child was born (De- cember 11) she removed the furniture to her father’s.

Mr. Fitnam’s sister was present, and he being laid on a sofa, recovered, but the hearing went over to some future time. —— THE BOND ISSUE. The following is the text of the circular issued by Secretary Carlisle late yester- |day afternoon in regard to the issue of $50,000,000 5 per cent bonds, the substance of which was published in yesterday's Star: “By virtue of the authority contained In the act, ertitied ‘an act to provide for the | resumption of specie payments,’ approved Janvary 14, 1875, the Secretary of the Treas- ury hereby offers for public subscription an issue of bonds of the United States to the amount of $50,000,000, in either registered or coupon form, in denominations of $0 and upwards, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the government after ten years from the date of their issue, and bearing interest, payable quarterly in coin, at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. “Proposals for the whole or any part of these bonds will be received at the Treas- ury Department, office of the secretary, until 12 o'clock, noon, on the Ist day of Proposals should state the amount of bonds desired, whether registered or coupon, and the premium which the sub- scriber proposes to pay, the place where it is desired that the bonds shall be delivered, and the office, whether that of the treasurer of the United States or an assistant treas- urer of the United States, where it will be most convenient for the subscriber to de- posit the amount of his subscription. Fail- ure to specify the above particulars may cause the proposal to be rejected. “As soon as practicable, after the Ist day of February, ISM, the allotment of bonds will be made to the highest bidders there- for, but no proposal will be considered at a lower price than 117.223, which is the equivalent of a 3 per cent bond at par, and the right to reject any and all proposals is hersby expressly reserved. In case the bids iuled to allotment exceed the bonds to be issued, they will be allotted pro rata. “Notices of the date of delivery of the bonds will be sent to the subscribers to ;| Whom allotments are made as soon as prac- ticable, and within ten days from th of such notice subscriptions must be =< in United States gold coin to the treasurer er such assistant treasurer of the United States as the subscriber has designated, and if not so paid th peotea: pat © proposal may be re- “The bonds will be dated Fel 1 1894. and when payment is made therefor, 8 above, accrued interest on both princi. pal and premium from February 1) 194, to date of Payment, at the rate of interest “a! to the sul Tiber 7 ment. will be added.

The President has vetoed House bill No. » Telative to entries of timber and stome lands, on the general ground that its opera- tion would open the door to frauds and to a perversion of the intentions of the govern- ment in relation to the public lands. In his message, he ys: “It is difficult with the most scrupulous care to guard the alienation of our public land from fraud and illegal Practices, It is perfectly plain, however, that the prospect of accomplishing this result is better under Present laws, which require the necessary Proofs to be made for that purpose, and who are under the control of the general pland officers and amenable to its regula- tions, than it would be by substituting other officers over whom the land office has no control. “Certain rules and orders of the land office are now in force which regulate the taking of the necessary proofs and permit oral examinations by registers and receiv- ers. These regulations are of the utmost importance if our land laws are to be justly and honorably administered. “I fully concur in the objectio: made to this bill by the officers having charge of the public lands in the last administration, and by their successors who are now charged with that responsibility. I am convinced that such a relaxation of our existing land laws as is contemplated by the bill under consideration will not be in the interest of good administration.” Mr. Josephus Daniels, the chief clei% of the Interior Department, is mentioned in connection with the place of public prin- ter. —— Governor Stone of Missouri has refused to interfere with the death sentence of Wils Howard, the Kentucky desperado, who is charged with thirty murders.
