He Quotes Official Records in Reply to the Naval Committee's Report. Mr. J. Hale Sypher has addressed a let- ter to the House committee on naval af- fairs In reference to statements concern- ing his personal character made in that committee's report on warship premiums. Mr. Sypher says he has not been able to notice more promptly the matters referred to because of delays in obtaining official information from the Treasury Department. Mr. Sypher characterizes as slanderous the following statements quoted against him by the committee: First, that he, while a member of the House, received and misappropriated 0) of public funds, which was appropriated “for repairs to the Untied States warehouse and for erect- ing a wharf at the United States quaran- tine station on the Mississippi river.” and, second, that he proposed to one John Clark to raise his bid and secure him a contract on a public building for a fee of $2,000. Mr. Sypher then gives in full let- ters from W. E. Curtis, assistant secretary of the treasury, under recent date, show- ing what the records of that department show concerning the transactions in ques- tion. “From these official records," Mr. Sypher says, “It is proven conclusively that the money ($5,000) was honestly expended and for the purposes for which it was ap- propriated; that the vouchers, receipts and accounts were correct, honest, regular and authentic: that John Clark’s statement, quoted by the committee, was ridiculous, malicious and false.” Mr. Sypher de- noun the committee for the course it took, stating that “the facts concerning these transactions have always been avatil- able to the committee, but it is evident that the committee did not desire the truth.” —o—— Naval Orders, Chief Engineer J.

BOURGEOIS CALLED President Carnot Asks Him to Form a Ministry. RESIGNATION OF CASIMIR-PERIER Discussing the Political Crisis in France. BENEATH THE SURFACE LONDON, May 23.—The correspondent of the Datly News at Paris suggests that M. Casimir-Pericr is glad of the chance to keep in the background until the time for the presidential election, The correspond- ent adds that the premier’s friends offered to save the situation, but he refused to ac- cept their help, Still it is probable, the cor- respondent says, that the crisis would not have occurred had not M. Ouvre, who had all along supported the government, it-ter- vened In a fashion to throw into promi- nence M. Millerand’s argument. ‘his blow from such a man was unexpected, and when M. Ramel, the leader of the right, was seen mounting the tribune, the center at least realized that the famous cvalition of tradition, which had caused the fall of so many ministers, was converging against the government. Even before the division on the premier’s demand for the adoption of the order of the day pure and simpie, nobody supposed that there was any doubt of the issue; but just as the figures were about to be read It Was felt that something had gone wrong. President Dupuy announced the result with visible emotion and pain, The adverse vote was unquestionably due to a misunderstanding between the minis- ters and the house. The former cannot be described as having fallen or having been overthrown, The truth ts that M. Casimir-Perier re- tires before a chamber, the adhesion of | which he thought he had Secured, if not definitively, at least for a good long time. His majority was falling tc Pieces and he felt he could not keep office long enough to poet “ perietie plan, that is to say, the ‘estoration of authority seriously imperiled by his predecessors, 3 ™ . The Premier Applauds. Such an uncertainty prevailed at the end of the sitting with regard to the causes of the crisis, that I have been going round among my political friends to collect opin- fons. The result is the conviction that M. Casimir-Perier had not sought an opportun- ity of quitting offic but saw that be could not avcomplish what he aimed at. It was noticed that he was among those who applauded the announcement of the figures | which told of the government's defeat. Some of his friends assure me that this was tronical and was meant to show the rad- icals that they had destroyed their mandate in not preventjng the fall of the cabinet This cabinet, the correspondent continues, was the last rampart of order against the extreme left. M. Cassimir-Perier undertook the defense of social order against the in- vasion of revolution, and his fall, if definite, will be considered untortunate and even menacing by the business world. In view of the sudden crisis, it is equally surprising that the instigators and the victims are the only two solutions that offer themseives. President Carnot may feel that the policy of M. Cassimir-Ferier is the oaly one to coi solidate the republic and maintain order, and may do his utmost to retain the cabinet | in office and endeavor to induce the cham- ber to rescind its decision. It must be noted that it was not the MIl- lerand but the Ramel resolution that was earned, proving that the chamber, even in the mistake it fell into, did not wish to side with the radicals and socialists. It must be | confessed, however, that even if the cham- | ber rescinds its decision the compact major- ity following M. Casimir-Perier’s lead can- | not long be counted upon. Still any other | solution would produce a bad impression, | which would soon be rendered manifest by depression in the rise aud fall of securities. On the contrary, President Carnot must | | revert the pernicious policy, and who ever | Was | sage a3 premier would be = | terial. A period of frequent crisis and constant disquietude would follow, and I believe the | impression wili be such as to convince the chamber and President Carnot of the neces- sity of effacing yesterday's vote, and re- taining M. Casimir-Perier, thus not only serving the country, but doing himself honor. Another Account. ‘The correspondent of the Times at Paris says: The ministry has fallen sq unex- pectedly and under such circumstances that there is a general feeling at the Palais Bourbon that the premier chose to quit | office. At this moment it is not known, whether he has resigned, or if he has, | whether President Carnot has accepted his | resignation. Yet the history of yesterday's debate In the chamber fs none the less im- portant. An almost unknown deputy, M. Salis, asked Minister Jonnart quite a simple question. The fourth annual national con- gress, so called, of the Ruilway Working- men's Federation opened yesterday murn- | ing in a pitiable state. Scarcely anybody was present, as no general leave was given | to the men by the various companies to quit work in order to attend the congress. it would seem that for sometime past there has been a deal of discussion be- tween the minister and certain deputies,not merely socialists, as to what should be done this year with regard to granting such permission. If cne may believe the assertions made in the lobby, M. Jonnart balf did and half did rot ageee to intervene with the companies to induce them to give the workmen leave of absence. However this may be, the question be- fore the house yesterday was of no greater importance than to learn whether the min- ister had done or would do so. No Goube | all the questions are dangerous inthe Frerch chamber, but this one of M. Salis seems singularly simple. It contamed a question of principle upon which Premier Casimir-Perier had made no move to declare himself. Indeed, he did not open his mouth during the debate. ‘The result came quite suddenly, as if M. Casimir-Perier had been “riding for a fall.” The first hint of significance in the debate came with M. Jourdes’ question as to what was being done in regard to the employes of the state railways. Minister Jonnart’s reply not merely cast the gauntlet of challenge among the radi- cals and socialists,but it positively bestowed upon then: a fresh weapon, the use of which they had not before seriously dreamed. This was his contention that servants of the state had no right to belong to a union. M. Salis rose to protest aguinst this view on the ground that the interest of all work- men were the same. M. Dupuy cried from the presidential chair: “The incident is closed,” and indeed so it appeared to everybody. But a bomb of quite a different sort was soon to fall into the chamber and literally spread abroad more dismay than that of Vaillant. M. Jourdes’ interpellation gave the radi- cals and socialists ample opportunity of seeing what capital the question before them had and were not likely to drop it. M. Millerand, one of the solld speakers of the party, was put forward to wrgue the question, He declared that the government could convince nobody that leave for three days to 180 out of 300,000 men could injure the railway service. He also made a great point of the fact that the premier recently attended a ban- quet of railway employes and spoke words of sympathy to them. Did the Premier Scheme for Defeat? PARIS, May 23.—Throughout France today everybody interested in politics and in the welfare of the republic is looking over the battle field of yesterday and speculating vpon the future. The general opinion seems to be that Premier Casimir-Perier, aware of the attacks to which he was exposed as a reported candidate for the presidency, in opposition to President Carnot, skilifully courted and accepted a defeat, which has made him a much stronger man, in the presidential race, than he was before his ministry's defeat. The corrected figures of the division in the chamber of deputies on the premifer’s mo- tien for the adoption of the order of the day pure and simple, show that the premier’s mand was defeated by a vote of 251 to 2 instead of 275 to 225, as at first an- nounced, The minority consisted of 178 centrist re- publicans, twenty members of the right and nineteen of the rallieds. The majority con- sisted of 220 republicans, eighteen members of the right and four rallieds. Fifty-1ve re- icine and surgery to on the Vermont. r | to instruction at the Naval publicans and twenty members of the right abstained from voting. The Perierists blame the majority for throwing itself into the arms of svcialism, as they term it. But many deputies, includ- ing some of the Perierists, say that it was Jess of a fall than a voluntary retreat. On the other hand, the leftists declare that the crisis was due to the cabinet’s clerical policy, and that there is little hope of a concentration which would carry out the policy of the present government. ‘ Bourgeois Summoned. The ministers this morning jointly gave their resignations into the hands of Presi- dent Carnot. The president summoned the president of the senate and the president of the cham- ber of deputies in order to consult with them in regard to the political situation. M. Bourgeois, ex-minister of the interior, has been summoned to consult with the president in regard to the formation of a new cabinet. He arrived at the Elysee Palace at 4 o'clock this afternoon. > HOWARD ALUMNI. They Had Their Annual Banquet Last Night—Toasts and Responses.

The Attorney General Tells of the Efforts to Prosecute It. Replying to Senator Morgan's resolution of the 18th instant concerning violations of the anti-trust law by the sugar trust, and asking whether any steps had bec. taken to enforce the law, the Attorney General has sent to the Senate a letter in which he states that on the 2d of May, 1/2, the United States district attorney for the east- }ern district of Pennsylvania, by direction of the Attorney Genezal, flied in the circuit court of that district a bill in equity on be- half of the United States va. the B.C. Knight Company, ihe Spreckies Sugar Re- fining Company, the Franklin Sugar Re- fining Company, the Delaware Sugar Hous, the American Sugar hefining Company and certain individuals. He stat the sub- stance of this bill, which alieges that the defendants violated the provisions of the anti-trust law. Answers having been filed in the cause, he says an examiner was ap- pointed, who heard the testimony offered on behalf of the parties to the sui and re- ported to the court. Upon the record thus made up the parties were heard in the cir- cult court on the 19th of January, 18M, and on the 30th the bill was d ed. The case was then appealed to the it court of appeals, whose decision aflirmed that of the court below, and the cause was then ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of th ted States, where the case has uot been heard, but has been advance! upon the docket, so that {t can be heard at the open- ing of next term. The Attorney General says the difficulties tending to embarrass the due execution of the statute according to its intent and purpose cannot be better stated than they are given in the opinicns of Judges Butler and Dallas, of which he furnishes copies, as he does also a copy of the opinion of Justice Jackson, by whose opinion, he says, the opinions of the other Judges were largely governed. The Attor- ney General does not venture as opinion of his own further than that indicated, NAVAL RESERVES, The Navy Department Wishes to En- courage Such Organizations, The Navy Department fully appreciates the value of a well-organized naval militia, and is doing all it can under the law to encourage the extension and improvement of that auxiliary branch of the navy in the various seaboard states. Arrangements are being made, under the direction of As- sistant Secretaty McAdoo, for the use of naval vessels by the naval reserve for practical instruction during the summer. Communications have been sent to the governors of the states having naval re- serves requesting them to inform the Navy Department what time will best suit their organizations for going to sea for practice. Short crutses will be arranged, in accord- ance with the wishes of the respective organizations. Although not entirely set- tled, It is believed that the New York, MI- antonomoh, Marblehead, Atlanta and pos- sibly other vessels will be utilized for this service. The states principally interested in this | movement are Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania and North Carolina, each of which has a creditable naval reserve. Other states are showing un interest in the sub- ject and will receive the hearty encourage- ment of the depart nent. AN ADMINISTRATION VICTORY. How the Nomination of Oates is Re- garded by Southern Congressmen. The nomination of Representative Oates for governor cf Alabama is not altogether gratifying to the southern silver men in Congress. Oates is personally popular among his colleagues in Congress, and they would naturally be pleased at any fresh honors he might acquire. In this particular instance, however, his nomina- tion {s a victory for the administration, and is significant of weakness on the part of the antl-administration faction of the south, It has been contended, and the contention controlled the action of most of the south- ern democrats in Congress, that the sent ment of the south was overwhelmingly, n-ost universally, opposed to the adminis- tration on account of Cleveland's financial policy. It was sald that no man who voted against silver in the fight against the Sher- | man bill could go home among the people in the south and secure an indorsement; that the repudiation of the eastern financial | policy would be essential to all success in | that section. The campaign throughout the south was begun by the administration and anti-administration people immediately after the repeal of the Sherman law. Oates voted for the repeal of the Sher- man law. Later he became alarmed on ac- count of what he supposed to be the senti- ment of his people and voted with the silver men for the coinage of the selgmior- age, and it was given out that when he went home to look after the nomination for governor he intended to disavow an allegiance to the administration, but on looking over the grourd he suddenly came to a different conclusion, and made his canvass as a champion of the administra- tion against the antis, and in this way won his nomination. —— +--+ One of Jeff.

The Democrats Staid Solidly Together and the Populi: Voted With Them —The Republican Minority. ‘The interest and significance of events in the Senate today was not confined to Mr. Gorman’s speech. The playfulness of the republican replies was equally indicative of the approaching end of the fight. The event of the utmost importance and signifi- cance was the test vote brought about by Mr. ‘Teller. Mr, ‘Teller has been warning his colleagues that it was useless to hope to defeat the bill by democratic votes and that the bill must pass and that delay was merely to the detri- ment of the public; without any compensa- tcry beneficial results, This morning the opportunity was afford- ed him to make the test of the solidity of the democrats. By a motion to lay the tariff bill on the table he brought about a test vote, which he intended should be an object lesson to those republicans who still preach filibuster. The motion came as another surprise. Every democrat, even Hill, voted against laying the bill on the table. The republicans voted solidly in favor of the motion, and the populists vot- ed with the democrats. The vote of 28 to 38 sepeescoted a strictly party vote, the pairs being strictly observed on party lines. A PENSION FRAUD. A Widow Frightened Into Paying Money to an Alleged Claimant. The pension bureau has been advised by telegram from Special Examiner Julius Lemkowitz, located at Jackson, Miss., of the conviction of P. W. Crawford in the United States court on the charge of per- sonating a government officer, and that the offender was sentenced to serve a term of three years in the penitentiary and to pay a fine of $250. Crawford, who is a mulatto, resided at Nashville, Tenn., and was a stu- dent at the Central Law School in that city. It was charged that in September last he a widow pen- sioner, who called at his office, when she | Was informed by Crawford that one Bettie | Duvall, a@ daughter of the soldieg by a for- mer marriage, had a right to some of the pension money which the pensioner had just received. He notified the pensioner that he would give her ten minutes to de- clde the matter, threatened to put her in jail, or send her to Washington, and stated that he was a government agent and had authority from the government in the mat- ter. The pensioner, believing Crawford had such authority, paid $421 to the daughter, which amount was one-half of the pension money received by her. Crawford received $120.50 from Bettie Duvali,and it was he who caused her to make the demand on the pen- sioner, by representing to her that she was entitled to the same, and that he had been sent from Washington to attend to such matters. The daughter had no title what- ever to any part of the pension money. — —_— +e STILL MAY BE DOCKED. It is Not Expected That the Repeal Will Pass. It is expected that an aye and nay vote will induce the House of Representatives to recede from its purpose of repealing the law for “docking” the salaries of members. The move for a repeal of the law was ac- complished by an amendment to the legis- lative appropriation bill. It was done, how- ever, when the House was in committee of the whole. There was a vote by tellers, but notice was given that an aye and nay vote would be taken when the bill was on its final passage in the House. It is the gereral belief that on a yea and nay vote members will not care to record themselves in favor of repealing the “docking” law, and the officers of the House contidently expect the law to stand. Sergeant-at-arms Snow would have his accounts farther complicatet if the House persisted in repealing the law. The repeal would not be effective until passed by the Senate some weeks or months hence. In the meantime he would be “docking” sal- aries, although the House had repealed the law. Mr. Snow says he will proceed with his present course, and it is likely that the House will, on the yea and nay vote, approve his course. + o-—____ THE FOREST RESERVES. Millions of Acres Can Be Thrown Open to Settlement by Proclamation. Representative Hermann of Oregon re- cently brought before the proper officials the question as to whether the President has the right to modify or revoke a pre- vious withdrawal of lands for forest re- serve. After consultation between the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Interfor it has been decided that any re- serve may be restored wholly or in part to the public domain by the President through a prociamation without legislative enactment. The decision ts of far-reaching effect, ap- plying not only to forest lands, but to graz- ing and agricultural reserves. The reser- vations throughout the country amount to 17,000,000 acres, and whenever the same question arises the new principle applies that the President has the right to revoke previous withdrawals, thus opening the land to settlement. Heretofore it has been considered necessary to get the assent of Congress for this action, but the policy now adopted gives the President inherent power to act, without waiting for legisla- tive authority Acting on this, Represen- tative Hermann has secured the restora- tion to public domain of various townships of mineral regions in the ia mining district of Oregon. ——_+2+____ TOMORROW'S RACES, ie Entries for the Opening Day New Jockey Club, The inaugural race meeting under the auspices of the Grange Camp Association on Alexander's Island, near Jackson City, Va., will open tomorrow, with a card of five races.

Sullemn and Desperate Men Threaten te Seize Property of the North- erm Pacific Railroad. Federal troops have been called into requi- sition for the enforcement of the orders of United States courts in the state of Mon- tana. Dispatches received at the War De- partment and the Department of Justice say that gangs of unemployed men are con- greguting along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad in Montana, with the avow- ed purpose of stealing trains on which to make the journey to Washington. The men are sullen and desperate, and make open threats of force and violence. They are most numerous and reckless on that section of the railroad near Helena and west of that point. They have already forcibly taken posses- sion of several trains, but so far have sur- rendered them to the officers of the law, when intercepted, without resistance. United States Marshals Helpless. The United States marshal for that district now reports that they have increased in numbers and desperation to such an ex- tent as to make him and his assistants helpless in the enforcement of the legal processes of the courts for the protection of property in the custody of the govern- rent. Acting on these tations, the Sec- retary of War and the Attorney General — eg omen = the case is one re- Quiring federal military interference, simi- lar in character to that successfully em- ployed in like cases in Idaho, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. Orders to Gen. Merritt. Gen. Schofield, accordingly, today tele graphed orders to Gen.

AN OR) GINAL IMPORTATION. Important Opinion of t Attorney General Affecting Imports. The opinion of the Attorney General in regard to the warehouse privileges of re- im ported merchandise has attracted con- siderable attention. It is regarded as a signal victory for the importers over the Treasury Department, and will result in a radical change in the practice of that de- partment. The text of the opinion is as follows: “I am in receipt of your com- munication of April 6, asking my official opinion as to whether certain wool import- ed at Philadelphia is lawfully entitled to the privileges of an original warehouse entry under the customs laws. It appears that this wool was imported into. the United States early in 1801, and remained in warehouse nearly three years, when it Was withdrawn for exportation to Canada. Very shortly thereafter it yeas reshipped to the United States by a different mer- chant, who has applied to have {t entered for wareh if a new ‘original im- Portatior.’ You ask whether it is entitled to be considered an original importation under the terms of section 2/71 of the Re- vised Statutes. “Attorney General Williams, in 1875, an- Swered the question in the affinnative. He held that warehoused goods could be with- drawn, sent across the border, and then re- imported and re-entered for warehousing for @ new three years’ term, as if they never before had been in the country, and this, even if the transaction were for the pur- bose of evading a duty to which they would otherwise be liable. tad For the Purpose of Evasion. “A question once definitely answered by one of my predecessors and left at rest for Ieng term of years should be reconsider- ed by me only in a very exceptional case; ‘but so far as the opinion above mentioned applies to goods exported for. the mere pur- pose of reimporting them so as to extend the warehousing period, the subsequent opinions «cf Attorneys General Brewster and Garland upon analagous questions aris- ing under the internal revenue laws might be regarded as justifying reconsideration in this instance. “Neither your letter nor the inclosed let- ter from the Philadelphia collector, how- ever, states as a fact that there was any intention on the part of the importer,whose case is now before you to evade any statu- tory provision. It may be that the goods were bona fide sold in the open market after export, and that the intent to reim- port them was first formed by the vendee after the sale had been perfected. Except where the transaction is shown to be a mere colorable one, so that there fs no real exportation and importation of the goods at all within the later rulings of this de- partment, the definition established by At- torney General Williams so long ago should stand unquestioned by me; and I therefore advise you that these Philadelphia goods are to be regarded as an original importa- tion upon the facts stated.” —EE Law Officers Appointed. The Attorney General has appointed Wm. M. Draffen assistant United States attor- ney for the western district of Missouri, Thomas M. Scruggs of Memphis, Tenn, as- sistant United States attorney for the west- ern district of Tennessee, and R. F. Spear- man of Celesti, Tex. fal assistant United States attorne; id in the de- fense of Indian depredation claims. — To Text Armor Plate.

Some time ago the Hamburg-American Steamship Company brought from Hamburg and landed in Que- bec, Canada, a Russian immigrant ramed Solomon Stolerman, to whom they had sold « through ticket to Cincinnati, Obie, On his arrival there it was discovered that the Russian belonged to the prohibited class Jer our immigration law, as he was un- able to earn a living a wg oes tracted before his arrival here. The so- fiaitor, in his opinion, holds that Stolerman should be deported to Hamburg on one of the Hamburg-American vessels plying be- tween that city and New York, and that if passage is refused he would be sent back by another line and the Hamburg-Americen company with the expense of the ie ,
