SCOTT CASE WENT OVER. Miscellaneous Bills Passed by the Senate Yesterday. The discussion of the Scott case was con- tinued in the Senate yesterday afternoon after The Star's report was closed. Mr. McComas said that the case of Mr. Scott was one of the most unstable ever presented to the Senate. It was without bottom or sides. No charges of a definite character were presented to the committee. The so-called depositions were merely ex parte statements, and of no possible value as evidence. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) made an extended ar- gument in support of the motion of his col- league to recommit the case to the com- mittee, with Instructions to make a thor- ough Investigation of it. It being conceded that the legislature of West Virginia was a de jure legislation, Mr. Allen (Neb.) held that the United States Senate could not review any of the actions of that legislature—even the elec- tion of a United States senator. . Mr. Teller maintained that the United tes Senate could not pass upon the ac- tion of the West Virginia legislature, as it was a constitutional bedy and fully quali- fied to determine all matters for itself. An effort was made to fix a time for a yote upon the case, but Mr. Pettus objected, denouncing the effort as “indecent haste. The case then went over until today. Mincelaneous Bills Passed. The following bills were passed To authorize the Atlantic and Gulf Short Line Railroad Company to build and main- tain railway bridges across the Ocmulgee and Oconee rivers in Georgia. To amend an act regulating the inspec- tion of flour in the District of Columbia. Appropriating $250,000 for the erection of a public building at Ogden, Utah, making $75,000 immediately available. Authorizing and directing the Secretary of the Interior to examine certain claims of persons who owned or occupied build- ings on the Hot Springs Mountain reserv: tion, Arkansas, and making appropriation for the payment of aid claims. The Alaskan civil code bill was lald be- fore the Senate, and Mr. Carter gave no- tice that he would try to get a vote upon it today. He had read a strong appeal from the Seattle chamber of commerce for the early passage of the bill. The bill was then laid aside and the fol- lowing bills were passed: To detach the county of Dyer from the eastern division of the western district of Ténnessee, and to attach the same to the western division of the western district of Tennessee. To authorize the New Orleans and West- ern Railroad Company to build a bridge across Bayou Bartholomew in Louisiana. Appropriating $190,000 for the erection of @ public building at Grand Forks, N. D. Amending the act to prevent forest fires on the public domain, providing the pen- alty of persons convicted of starting such fires. Joint resolution for change in location of aids to navigation on Simmons reef and Lansing shoal in Lake Michigan. ‘The Senate at 5:10 p.m. adjourned. ——__—_+-6 + ____ THE CHADWICK INTERVIEW. Secretary Long Says the Captain Must Explain. Secretary of the Navy Long was inter- viewed in Boston, Mass., last night in re- gard to the proable action of the Navy De- partment in the case of Capt. Chadwick, who has been quoted as making statements derogatory to Admiral Winfield S. Schley, in connection with the battle of Santiago. Secretary Long stated that the matter came up just as he left Washington, and he was not cognizant of the exact nature of the captain's alleged statements, but in event the rules of the department require that in such an occasion the matter shall bo officially investigated. He said that the action the department, after the cap- tain explains, cannot be forecasted, as there may be no truth whatever in the rej to what he said; but if the captain's reply to the department's investigation 1s a re- iteration of the previous alleged statements the case will be carried further, as the rules designate. ‘urther than this. chned to commit him Secretary Long de- lf. RETURN FROM WAR. REG Battalion of 14th Infantry Back From the Philippines. The first detachment of regular troops that have served two years in active serv- ice in the Philippines to be returned to this country arrived in San Francisco yes- terday on the transport Sherman from Manila. via Nagasaki. They are the home battalion of the 14th Regiment. the greater part of the regiment @eing made up from men recruited from San Francisco and dif- ferent sections of Californt The 14th Infantry was the first regular regiment to leave this city for Man They were igned to service under General MacAr- Sand were sent to Manila, accompanied the cruiser Charleston, taking posses- ion of Guam in the name of the United States en route. Within the past year the Mth did some of the fiercest fighting in the Philippines. In addition to the 14th Regiment there were on the Sherman 180 sick men, in- cluding twenty-two insane. The 14th, under command of Captain Bidwell, will proceed to the military res- ervation on landing, and after a short rest continue to Fort Wayne, Mich. ———+e- ROOSEVELT WILL NOT RUN. He Says He in Not a Candidate for Vice President. A special to the New York Tribune from Chicago last night says: “I will not be a candidate for Vice President on the repub- Hean ticket." “Is this final?” My statement is absolute. This Is the third time I have made it, and three times ought to be out. I appreciate the import- ance of the office and the honor shown me by those who would like to see me occupy it, but, beyond any shadow of doubt, the place for me to render good service to the state and the party ts the place I now hold. If the republicans of New York state see fit to renominate me for governor I shall be glad. I can render at this time the best service to the party by running for governor and the best service to the public as governor.” “But cannot the Philadelphia convention be stampeded to you?" “No. I shall second the nomination of President McKinley, which fs the proper thing for me to do, and the ticket will have my loyal support throughout the cam- paign. So spoke Governor Roosevelt of New York today as his train approached Chicago. He Was coming to the Marquette Club's recep- tion tonight and the Grant birthday exer- cises at Galena tomorrow, where he will be the orator of the day. Governor Roose- velt’s statements other than those given above left no room for question as to the utter impossibility of making him Presi- dent McKinley's running mate this year. Governor Roosevelt was asked about his 1904 candidacy for the presidency. He laughed: “That {s a long way off. I do not know what may happen before then.’” A delegation of Spanish war veterans called on Governor Roosevelt after his ar- rival in the city. A delegation from the Hamilton Club also called upon the gov- ernor and secured a promise from him to address a meeting here in the campaign. Tonight the governor attended the ban- quet of the Marquette Club, and spoke in- formally. —<——_— Commissioner Herman Opposed. Commissioner Herman of the general land office has made an adverse report on a bill submitted for his consideration, providing for the appointment of a commission to classify mineral lands within railroad land grant Hmits in California. He says that the same work could be more expeditiously and cheaply performed by officers of the Interlor Department and suggests other changes. He has prepared a bill to accom- Plish the object desired by methods other than those provided in ure. THE SATURDAY STAR. Announcement of Features of Interest in Tomorrow's Big Paper. The Saturday Star this week will contain the second installment of F. A. Cummings’ thrilling story, “The Path Beyond the Levee," which will run in The Star ten weeks in all. This tale is historic in the fidelity and vividness with which it revives for us a unique epoch in our national life. ‘The style of the narrative 1s admirable for its purpose—direct and graphic, the style of a man who tells a straight, strong story because that is the way he thinks and talks. Following are some of the other features of special interest in tomorrow's big paper: IRISH COUNTRY LIFE (IMlustrated). Seumas MacManus writes in a delightful vein of the customs and manners of the young people of the Emerald Isle, their pleasures and employments, STILL IN HIGH FAVOR (Illustrated).

Curious old brick oven in the depths of the London custom house wherein con- fiscated tobacco used to be destroyed. Smuggling into England; cigars for the Prince of Wales. AT THE GUARD HOUSE (illustrated). A capital short story, by P. ¥. Black, which tells of an arrest, an escape from prison, a thrilling midnight ride in pur- suft, a great disappointment and a tragic sacrifice. HER CROWNING GLORY (Ilustrated). Some of the curious styles of fixing the hair that women have followed during the past century and a half. JOKE WAS ON ALLEN (Illustrated). The wit of the House and his encounter with an official of opposite politics. SEEN IN NEW YORK.

Philanthropic movements on foot in Paris looking to the welfare of young women during the exposition. By Sterling Hellig. ———— SENT HERE FROM NEW YORK. Yoman and Child in Charge of Local Authorities. A young colored woman who gave her name as Minnie Brown, and who carried an infant in her arms, arrived here last night from New York. The woman had a letter from Superintendent Blair of the outdoor poor department of New York city, show- ing that she and her charge had been sent here by the New York authorities.

The woman, . told her that her (Minnie's) a Loh n, had died and had requeste that the child be given to her. No such me as Ella Lohman appears on the Ith department records. The woman and child were made com- fortable at Freedmanr’s Hospital last night, and the cas referred to Agent Doug- lass of the board of children’s guardians. Inquiry will be made at Athens, N. Y., and Lynchburg, Va., for information concern- ing Minnie and the baby. pL PRINCETON HONOR MEN, Seniors Who Have Won the Coveted Distinction Professor H. C.

The gunboat Vicksburg, at Boston, has been ordered to Newport to serve as a train- ing ship for the naval apprentices there. [GOLD DISCOVARY IN JAPAN EXTENSIVE DEPOSITS IN NORTHERN PART OF EMPIRE. Foreigners Organizing Companies to Work the Digztngs—Vast Min- eral-Bearing Area, —+_ Correspondence of the Associated Press. YOKOHAMA, April 7, 1990. The discovery of g0ld in Hokkaido, the northernmost of the main islands of the empire, is assuming more 4nd more im- pertance. The total length of the river beds containing gold dust is put at 3.500 miles, and the total productive area at 1,750,000 acres. Nuggets weighing over half a pound have been found. Since the restriction upon foreign owner- ship and management of the mines have been removed by this government, compa- nies have been formed among the foreign- ers in Yokohama. In one case a tract of thirty-seven acres has been purchased, an expert from California engaged and all ar- rangements made to begin operations. It will be a boon to the Japanese to have skilled miners from the west to take a hand, as the native methods of working gold dig- gings are said to be exceedingly wasteful and destructive. The removal of restric- tions upon foreigners in the matter of mining is held to be a good omen for the final granting to them of the privilege of land ownership in general. News has been received of a fight in Ban- shizan, Formosa, between a party of soi: diers and a number of bandits. I! is stated that a number of soldiers were killed or wounded. Particulars are not at hand. Hereafter all steerage passengers for America will be required to undergo u med- ical examination before leaving Japanese ports. A fee of one yen each will be col- lected from the emigrants to defray the ex- pense of examination. The approaching wedding of the prince is arousing considerable inte . The Yamagata clty assembly has decided to es- tablish a library with a capital of 10,000 yen in honor of the imperial wedding, and the people of the town of Aomori have de- cided to build a public hall in commemora- tion of it. Among the wedding presents al- ready announced are a gold ink stand val- ued at 2,000 yen, presented by the court nobles, and a golden incense burner valued at 10,000 yen, presented by the Tokio city officials. —___+ 2-0 ___ Hotel Arrivals, Raleigh—E.

In a recent letter to the State Department Consul General Guenther, at Frankfort, tells of the invention in Germany of an im- proved stenographic typewriter. The great drawback to shorthand typewriters hereto- fore patented has been that the writing was done upon narrow paper, like a print- ing telegraph. This new stenotyper, how- ever, employs a roll of paper as wide as an ordinary shorthand note book. As against thirty or more on an ordinary typewrit the operator has but six keys to strike in the new device. To read stenotype the eye must become accustomed to a new style of type, based somewhat upon the Morse al- phabet {n telegraphy, as it consists of a combination of dots and dashes. The marks of the six keys, which can be tapped simultaneously, can be combined in sixty- three different’ ways, producing an alpha- bet of sixty-three letters, In Memory of Gutenberg. A festival in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of Johann Guten- berg. the inventor of the art of printing, will be held in the city of Mainz, Germany, June 23. All civilized nations are expected to take part, and Consul Schumann, in a recent letter to the State Department, ex- presses the hope that the United States will be properly represented. The found- . War- RONG KE ing of a Gutenberg museum is contemplat- ed in connection with, the festival. A double two-story frame house ot 17th and State streets, Chicago, collapsed, in- juring five persons. WEATHER INDICATIONS. Fair Tonight and Saturday; Light to Fresh Northerly Winds.

A garden party at Corcoran House, Sena- tor Depew’s home, is the first open-air en- tertainment to be announced. It will be given Monday afternoon next, beginning at 8 o'clock, and promises to be one of the most interesting which has ever been held within the rose-bordered walks of the oid walled-in garden, because of the novel char- acter of the event, the prominence of the women who have it in charge and the chari- ty to be benefited—a vacation house for the Girls’ Friendly Society. Mrs. George Fraser will preside over a table where garden hats will be the irre- sistible temptations, and some of the pret- tiest girls in society will be there as “‘mod- els” to try them on.
