: A SENATORS IN 'They Resume Argument of " Benators to lay aside all sxtraneous dis- - others to be appointed by the President THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1897. NGAY MODD the Case of Julio Sanguilly. | NOT OFFICIALLY TOLD| OF THE PARDON. ‘But It Was the Warlike Spirit Displayed That Hasten>d { Action. : e 1 NO MORE POWDER WILL BE WASTED IN TALK. Morgan of Alabama Says Clevelaid Has Been Sleeping While Americans Suffer. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 2.—The ate had the Indian appropriation bill before it to-day throughout the session, but. that fact did not prevent Cuba and the Sanguilly case from being fought over, even in a more angry and excited manner | than it had been yesterday. At the very | openicg Frye (R.)of Maine referred to the dispatch announcing Sanguilly’s release to-day, and. deprecated further discussion | of.the matter, that for his part he ‘ did hot-believe in wasting powder simply | for. tne purpose of making a noise. | The ‘Sanguilly resolution having been sent to the calendar, two other resolutions 8s to victims of Spanish cruelty were red, one by Morgan (D.) of Alabama, in ihe case of George Washington Aguirre, -axd one by Call in relation to the suicide or murde* of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz. As to Aguirre, there were some comments upon his baptismal name, Morgan assuming that | it gave to Aguirre an additional claim | tipon. American sympathy, and Lindsay | (D) or Kentucky, insisting that his sur- | render, under a proclamation of amnesty, | was an un-George Washington act. | nan Allen of New York, | ng man, was reafl, ocose mood to in- whether Morgan said that he was the grand- of the revolutionary hero, and another | Senator added the information tuat he | was the president of the Cuban Junta of | New York. The storm broke out again through the | Sanguilly matter, and White (D.) of Cali- | fornia and Lodge (R.) of Massachusetts bad some delicate sparring, in which White spoke ironically of Lodge as one of the great men of the world, and as know- ing.more about the Spanish pronunciation than all other Spanish scholars known. This was provoked by Lodge's sneering at | White for pronouncing ‘Julio” as| “Hu Lodge retaliated by imputing envy to | the California Senator because his long speech yesterday had not enthused the galleries. Hale (R.) of Maine avpealed to the | -cussion and confine themselves to the| business of appropriation bills for the six | remaining days of the session, saying that he expected the Senate to sit on Sunday. He was cruelly ridiculed by Morgan and told that he ought to start outona regular tour of lecturing if he could find a | 10t of school children for his audience. The Alabama Senator was in a very un- corcilistory mood. He refused angrily | and with every mark of disrespect to per- | 1iy either Senators Hoar or Hale to inter- | ject a remark into his speech, but he re- served his bitterest words for President | Cléveland, who he descrived contempiu- | ; Gusly as having been ‘“down on his bunkers'’ praying Spain to relesse San- | gniliy; also asa *‘sluggard sleeping and | snoring when Ameri aus suffered.” { Morgan was on the floor over an hour. After he resumed bis seat the bitterness faded out of the debate. Instead of it there was a witty passage between Sena- tors Daniel (D.) of Virginia and Gray (D.) of Delaware. When the former used word “‘incommunicado” ignorance of its mea not tal ish. With a pleasant and | gracious smile Daniel excused himself -and said that he thought that the Senator from Delawsre had just been talking very good Spanish. This polite response, with its unex- pressed but well-understood meaning, provoked an outburst of laughter on the floor and in the galleries, which were crowded all the day. | In the pleasanter turn which the dis- on had thus taken the Cuban ques- was permitted to subside and the consideration of the Indian appro- bill was resumed. ! bad not been passed when, at lock, a recess was taken until ( the Spanish Gray assumed % and “said he did | The House bi d provi 1al milita; to prevent trespassing ng for the protection of parks was the tirst mat- taken up in the Senate, and passed with an amendment, Hill (D.) of New York asked unanimous consent 1o have an executive session at 3 o’clock this afterroo - Frye (R.) of Maine—I object. Hill—I give notice so that no one may | be taken by surprise that at 3 o'clock in | the afternoon 1 will make that motion, Quey (R.) of Pennsylivania asked unan. imous consent to toke up and con- ‘sider the substitute for the labor commis- sion bill. Hale (R.) of Maine—That is a very im- portant matter and will give rise to de- bate. I must object. At Quay’s suggesiion the substitute was read. It provides a commission of five Senators, five Representatives aand nine up Natio: to investigate questions pertaining to im- migration, labor, agriculture, mining, and business, and 1o report to Congress such legislation as it may deem best. The total cost is not to exceed $50,000 a year. ““That is a gigantic scheme,”” Hale said, “for building up a great set of officehold- ers at the rate of $50,000 a year. I ob- jeet.’” At 11:15 the Indian appropriation bill was taken up with the understanding that at 1 P, m. the Sanguilly Cuban joint reso- lotion would come up as the unfinished business, The pending question was the commit- | on his *hunkers’ praying for Banguilly’s | been induced to do o by private intim; | provide for the further growth of such | saws, Choctaws, Cherokees, Creeks and | sas, | the laws of the Indian councils shall b: in | made the presiding officer, Pasco (D.) of | bhis attorney have both acknowledged that | Senate will proceed 1o the consideration of | state what effort, if any, had been made tee amendment as to the payment of large claims for legal services to the old settlers of the Western Cherokee Indians, to which Brown (R.) of Utah offered an amendment to bar and shut out awards already paid and sccepted. In the course of the discussion it was stated by Burrows (R.) of Michigan that the lawyers had already been paid the enormous sum of $198,000. Brown’s amendment was agreed to. Vest (D.) of Missouri moved to strike out the committee amendment as to that part of it direciing the commission to set apert lands upon which any towns are now located in the Indian Territory, to towns and to allow all other lands in the Indian Territory belonging to the Chicka- Seminoles; also to strike out the clause requiring acts of the Council of either of those tribes to be submitted for approval to the President of the United States. Vest made a statement as to the lawless condition of the Inaian Territory which he described as a barbtor for criminals. TlLe courts, he said, were a travesty of justice. They were governed by corrup- tion. Their laws were antagomistic to American avilization; thewr modes of punishment were entirely different, con- sisting of whipping, torturing, and in cases of capital punishment, the rifle. ““That is an improvement on our mode,’ Frye (R.) of Maine sugzested. Vest went on to say that the treaty con- ditions with those Indians must be dgne away with. His proposition was not to rob the Indiars nor to molest them, but to protect them and also to protect the citizens of the contiguous States. Sena- tors living at a distance had no idea of the outrages committed on the people of Kan- Missouri, Arkansas and Texas by reason of the unfortunate situation now prevailing in the Indian Territory. Pettigrew (Silver) of South Dakota, in ge of the bill, accepted the first part of Vest’samendment and it was agreed to. Pettigrew offered to accept also the lat- ter part of Vest’s amendment by modify- ing the clause soas to make it read that force unless disapproved by the President. A long speech was made by Bate (D.) of Tennessee cn a point of order which was made sgainst the commitiee amendment. Before any disposition of the question was Florida laid before the Senate the joint resolution in relation to Julio Sanguily. Frye (R.) of Maine, said a telegram had been received, saying that Sanguilly and the judgment was just; that the punish- ment was just; that they have withdrawn the appeai; that the Queen Regent has signed the pardon and that Sanguiily is free. "“‘While I regard that as unfortunate in many respects,” said Frye, “it seems to methat it leaves this joint resolution with- out any necessity for further considera- tion. Ido not believe and I never did be- lieve in wasting powder simply for the pur- vose of making anoise. Idonot believe that any one will doubt my friendship for | Cuba. “Every pulsation of my heart is with the patriots who are struggling for liberty and is in utter detestation of the brutali- ties of Spain. But holdingas I do that condition of mind I do not beieve that there is any further necessity for consid- | ering this resolution, and 1 hope that the the Indian appropriation bill.” | Lodge (R.)of Massachusetts said that the Sanguilly case could not be disposed of by sneers. There wers many cases | which had been suppressed. So far as the committee was concerned, he desired to say that it had received no information of Sangnilly’s pardon. The case had been considered by the committee for more than a month, and had beer postponed from time totime at the request of the | State Department on the ground that | Spain had promised to pardon the man. Finally the committee reported the reso- lution, and it was debated by the Senate. The next morning the cable announced that Sanguitly bad been pardoned. The | action of the Senate did it, and the com- mittee is sneered at for its efforts, Call (D.) of Florida offered a resolution and asked immediate consideration and passage, calling on the President to send | to the Senate all correspondence relating to the imprisonmsnt and death in Cuba of Dr. Ruiz, an American citizen, and o to obtain farther information on the sub- ect. White (D.) of California objected to its consideration. Hale (R.) of Maine urged that the ap- propriation bills be proceeded with and dasclared with some sarcasm that the ‘moot court” was over. Senator Morgan informed Hale that if he proposed to begin a lecturing tour he would find that he did not have a lot of school children for his audience. The Senator from Maine served notice ves- terday, he said, that the Sanguilly resolu- tlon could not pass, after the Senate by a large majority had displaced the appro- priation biil with it. Hale interposed an objection to the con- struction Morgan placed upon his remarks and sald that what he meant was that such a resoiution could not b2 expected to pass without reasonable debate. “Oh! It makes little difference what the Senator now says,” retorted Morgan. “We all knew what he meant. He meant | that it should not pass at all, if he could help it. The Senator from California took the floor during the aiternoon and made a long constitutional speech, not on the merits of the resolution at all, but for the purpose of staving off action until some- thing happened. Now that something bas happened. And how are we informed of it? Through the press. We have noth- ing from the President to show that San- guilly has been pardoned. We are left altogether in the dark. “The relations between the Presidentand the Congress and the American peopie on this Cuban question are so strained that we are unable to get any information out of him. Idonot wonder that the Presi- dent prefers the darkness to the light.” Every citizen, Morgan said, who held natoralization papers and bore a Spanish name who haa been arrested in Cuba— and few escaped—had been discriminated against by the Spanish authorities. With pointea emphasis Morgan said the friends of Cuba, when they began to dis- cuss this question, knew that Spain had not only apologists but direct advocates on the floor of the Senate, but that made none the less peremptory the oblization for them to do their duty. Referring to the cubled dispatch that pardon had been extended to Sanguilly he asked what had brought that about. Answering, he said 1t was because the Queen of Spain—for whom he had a great respect—could not stand the exposure. If she could have sustained by any law of humanity or otherwise the action of her officers in Cuba, would she not have felt it her duty to stand by them? “‘But,” said Morgan, with bitter sar- casm, *think what joy this result must release and now finds it brought about by other means, “The President,” Senator Morgan added, ‘‘escapes two duties, one to his country and another to his manhood. I am willing he may escape both. I am willing that Sanguilly shall be thus im- molated. But I wash my hanas of it here, in the presence of the Senate of the United States. I am not guilty, thank God, of that,” Call read a dispatch from the New York Herald of to-day to the effect that Consul- General Lee had called upon Secretary Olney for a warship, inquired whether there was American »hips of war ready to be sent to Havana, and had declared that he would not stand another Ruiz murder. He was asked by Morgan whether he thought the dispatch was authentic, and he said he thought it justas authentic as the dispatch announcing the pardon of Sanguilly. Gray read a press dispatch saying that Secretary Olney had received a cablegram to-day from Consul-General Lee stating that Sanguilly bad been released. ““That,’” said Gray, *‘was theend we had in view. So much has been accomplished by and through the Secretary of State, who throughout all this sad business has never failed to assert the power and dignity of his couniry in behalf of these Spanish- Americar. citizens."” Daniel (D.) of Virginia—We can say at least that the joint resolution introduced the aay before yesterday has not delayed the release of Sanguilly. [Laughter.] Hill (D.) of New York moved the con- sideration of executive business. The mo- tion was rejected and the consideration ot the Indian appropriation bul was pro- ceeded with, No progress was made. The fortitication appropriation bill was reported and placed on the calendar, and at 6. the Benate took a recess until 30 P. M. The first twenty minutes of the evening session were devoted to private pension bills. A resolution was adopted requesting the House to retarn the Senate bill donating | 10 the Daughters of the American Revo- | lutlon a site in the Washington monu- ment grounds for the erection of a memo- | nal museum. | Consideration of the Indian appropria- tion bill was then resumed—the question being on an amendment to substitute | United States courts for Indian courts in | Indian Territory. Teller (silver) of Colorado, and Hoar | ment on the ground that the Indian courts were corrupt. The amendment was acreed to. The | Indian appropriation bill was then passed and the postoffice appropriation biil taken up. It was laid aside, however, and the House bill vassed authorizing the | Territories to fund their indebtedness at a lower rate of interest. Quay (R.) of Pennsylvania gave notice that to-morrow he wou!d call up the bill to forbid the sale of liquor in the Capitol, and Hill gave notice (sotto voce) that he | would oppose it. At11:40 the Senate adjourned until to- ; morrow. . { IT IS TIME TO C4LL A BALT. Scandalous Personal ittack om Lee by a spantsh Ufficial. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 26.—A Herald spectal from Havana via Key West says: The Marquis de Palmerola made a scanda- louns personal attack on General Lee Wednesdey night in the Palace in the presence of several American newspaper correspondents. The incident arose because the censor refused to pass a dispatch for the cor- respondents which said that the release of Scott had been demanded because he was both arrested and kept in prison in de- fiance of the law. “Who told you that?” shouted Generai Palmerola, the Secretary of State for the island “General Lee, calmly. “General Lee is a liar, imposter and replied a correspondent | revel,” shouted the little Marquis, with an oath. General Lee is of course too busily en- gaged in protecting the lives and property of our fellow-citizens to pay any attention to Palmerola’s outbreak. The situation is still the same as de- scribed to you on Wednesday. General Lee leaves Havana atthe mo- ment when he is satisfied that the Gov- ernment at Washington will not do its whole duty in preventing the occurrence of another Ruiz murder. The investigation promised by the Span- ish Government into the manner in which Ruiz came to his death has been begun, but with closed doors and apparently even an outward appearance of sham legal procedure. A young lady, a member of one of the many distinguished French families who have plantations near Santiago de Cuba, has been arrested and thrown into the Casa de Recojas, or prison for disorderly women, in that place. The charge against her is that she was making lint to dress the wounds of the insurgents. Tue papers in the case are now in the hands of the acting French Consul-General here, and it is expected that energetic action will be authorized from Paris. The French colony and mer- chants are very indignant and demand immediafe action on the part of their country. They ask that Count Sala, the Consul-General, now in Paris, return im- mediately to his post, as the acting Con- sul-General, they say, is not protecting French interests. Fondevilla’s cclumn returned on Thursday night to Guanabacos. It Lad had a fight that morning with Arango and Aranguern and lost ifty out of 200 men. The troops had a fight with a local party on Wednesday one mile out of Santa Clara city. Fifty Spanish guerillas and bom- beros were kuled. Many Spanish prisoners were taken but afterward liberatea. Information has been received here from Sancti Spiritus to the effect that General Weyler visited the jail there on Monday last, and was very much dis- pleased with the conditions found. In that jail Sylyester Scovel, an American newspsper correspondent, is confined. General Weyler immediately ordered & change of the warden and dismissed all of the attendants who had been kind to the correspondent. The bed has been removed from his cell. At et AVERT FURTHEE FEICTION. Clecetand and Olney Show Their Friend- ship for Spain. HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 26.—It is under- stood here that Secretary Olney, as fur- ther evidence of his and President Cleve- land’s friendship for Spain, has instructed Consui-General Lee to act with caution in his dealings with the Spanish authorities and to spare no effort to avert further iriction with them. By Spaniurds bere this is given to mean that General Lee, to meet the approbation of his snperiors in office, must not be as persistent as he has been beretof re in pressing for a recogni- tion of the rights of American citizens, bring to that statesmap in the White House, who for two years has been down 1t is rumored that the reason why Gene- ral Lee still holds his post is that he h (R.) of Massachusetts favored the amend- | without the slightest attempt to preserve | tions from a high Republican that he wili be supported by the incoming Republican administration in upholding American rights and honor. Julio Sanguilly, the American citizen who was twice sentenced to imprisonment for life on the charge of being a rebel, was reteased this afternoon, the Queen Regent having pardoned him. He at once left the Cabanas Fortress, where he had been confined awaiting the result of his appeal against his sentence, and started for home. He was naturally highly elated at being at liberty again after being confined for over two years, and he was S0 anxious 10 get to his fam- ily that he did not have time totalk about his experiences. He will leave to-morrow for the United States with his family, traveling by way of Tampa. It is re- ported that he has promised never to re- turn to Cuba. —_— STOPPED BY THE VESUVIUS. The Tug Dauntless Mot Permitted to De- part From Port. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Feb. 26.—The tug Dauntless had a Iittle tilt with the cruiter Vesuvius to-day. She tried to leave the river, when four blasts from t' e Vesuvius’ big whistle were heard. The tag did not obey and a second and third were blown. Seeing other preparations made to stop ber by force, the tug yielded and came into dock again. It is believed that this was done to make a case against the Government for damages stronger, al- leging illegal detention. It is reported to-night that the cruiser Indisna is at the bar and will go south in the morning. Her destination isunknown, but her presenc: here has aroused much comment on account of the Cuban situa- tion. WASHINGTON D. C., Feb. 26.—The alleged filibustering steamer Dauntless, in whose behalf suit was filed yesterday against the Collector of Customs at Jack- sonville for unlawful detention, declined to accept the conditions offered by the Treasury Department for her devarture from the port, and as a result was 1.0t per- mitted to leave. et el SCORES CLEVELAND AND OLNEY. Strong Resolution Adopted by ths Ne- braska Stats Senate, LINCOLN, NEBR., Feb. 26.—In the State Senate to-day Caldwell of Nichols County offered the following resolution: WHEREAs, We are reliably informed by dis- patches through the public press from Cuba that the flag of this country is daily being dis- honored in the streets of Havana, that Amerl cans are not only being hssed along the thor- oughfares of the city, but are being robbed and imprisoned and murdered bythe Span- iards, and indignities are heaped on Ameri- can women tiere, and every atrocity conceiv- able for a Spaniard to visit on Americans is being thrust upon them; therefore, be it Resolved, By the Seuate of the State of Ne- braska, that we regard such treatment as bar- barous in the extreme and inimical to the spirit that should be shown by one clvilized jovernment to another, and that longer si- lence or inaction on behalf of the United Siates would be & dishonor to the dignity and loyalty of the Nation; that we resent and disapprov. the atiitude and poliey of the present admir- istration in 1ts unpatriotic treasment of these outrages Jaily committed by Spain against our National honor; and that we commend the action of Consul-General Lee in resigning his consulship rather thau obey the instractions of the State Department iu its unpatriotic, un- American policy in America. It was introduced as a party measure, | being signed by the seven Republican Senators, but was adopted by an almost unanimous vote, but one Senator oppos- ing it. | —_—— WEYLER'S CANPAIGN FAILED. General Rivera Says His Efforts Were Eidiculo NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 25.—A letter dated Rio Hondo, Cuba, January 11, has been received by T. Estrada Palma, presi- dent of the Cuban Junta in this city, from General Rivera, who has taken the place of General Maceo in the patriot army. General Rivers, after lamenting the death of Maceo, says: *'General Weyler's campaign in Pinar del Rio wasa ridiculous failure. that the campaign was decidealy in our favor sooner and easier than we expected. The balance of Weyler’s forces, afier try- ing once or twice to take our positions on the hills withont success, employed them- selves in burning the lowlands to the right and left of the railroads and the houses occupied by the pacificos.” LIVE MEN ARE AT WORK Marin Development Association Organizing a Committee of Fifty. The Objct Is to S:cure C:-Opara- tion for the Beaut:fication of Marin County The Marin Development Association has been actively at work for the last few days organizing & committee of fifty to constitute a committee uron projects of public develobment in Marin County. A commission, consisting of Morris Schwartz secretary of the California Association, and B. Allen Brown, secretary of the Marin Association, is in charge of the organization of this committee ana has met with much encouraging success as a resalt of the first few days’ work. The following have agreed to act upon the same: Dr. L. L. Dunbar, Syaney V. Smith, James E. Walsh, General R.H. Warfield, J. W. Dorsey, J. W. Wright, William Corbin, Edgar M. Wil- son, Edgar C. Chapmau, W. L Pixley, J. D. Maxweli, J. H. Pryor. S’ F. Barstow. Louis L. Jenes, E. Steele, W.'A. Boole, C. A. Harmon, W. J. Thomas, Thomas H. Fotrell, C. J. Dowd, Commodore C. H. Harrison. Secretary Schwartz says that the object of the formation of this committee is 10 assist in the promotion of a boulevard, be- ginning at Sausalito and Belvedere and running to San Rafael, then branching out into other parts of the county, in other words establishing a road system covering the whole county by the im- provement of present roadwaysand the creating of new ones as may be neces- sary. “‘We look upon this work,”” he said, “as being essential to the carrying out of projects for the development of Marin County. It expected to take up im- mediately the work of improving and beantifying Marin County and the resi- dence districts not only in the matter of roads but in other public utilities and conveniences as fast as they can be got to. ‘We are very well pleased with the suc- cess with which our proposition has been received, as already a considerable num- ber of the most influential men in the county have been secured to act upon it. We hope by the creation of a body like this 1o get much more intelligent and con- certed action than we would otherwise be able to, even by a meeting of the members of the association. The character and standing of tho men who have taken hold are suc as place the thinz in excellent condition. The meeting of this committee will be beld some time next week at which it will be formally organized and placed in work- ing order. We knew | THE WAIT AAN ASTRAY. Suparior Court Judges Would Not £it in Bank to Hear It Attorney Crittenden’s Vain Att:mpt to Gather Together a Galexy of Justices. Attorney James Crittenden appeared in Judge Hebbard’s court and ased for a further postponement of the habeas corpus case wherein he was sentenced to jail for contempt of court. Judge Hebbard said he had already granted all the delay that was right. He deemed that he had exbausted his disere- tionary powers and that the matter must be heard, according to the previous order of the court, at 10 o’clock this morning. Mr. Crittenden replied that he would not be ready to proceed at that time; that he had been attempting to get all the Su- perior Judges to sit in bank for the pur- pose of hearing the argument in this case, but he had not yet been able to make the arrangement. To this Judge Hebbard responded that of Mr. Crittenden is not prepared to take up the matter he would dismiss the writ and remand the petition, but if he wished, would at once grant another writ, returna- ble before Presiding Judge Seawell. As for himself, Judze Hebbard said he was not willing to let the matter drag along in his department any longer. Mr. Critienden gave notice that he would object to such proceeding, but the court retused to reconsider the determination already announced. When Judge Slack ordered the im- prisonment of Attorney Crittenden for contempt because he appeared in court 1n the Ashley-Baldwin seduction case with a loaded six-shooting revolver in his hip pocket, Mr. Crittenden applied to Judge Hebbard 1or a writ ot liabeas corpus. His Honor eranted the writ and made 1t re- turnable before all the Judges of the Su- perior Court *“sitting in bank.” This provision by Judge Hebbard for submitting the question to all the Judges “sitting in bank,” is by his compeers gently spoken of as “an inconsiderate act,” " for the reason that the Superior Court never sits in bank. At the annual meeting of the Judges on | the first Monday of January Judge Heb- bard broached the subject and asked his colleagues to ascend the bench with him for the purpose of reviewing Judge Slack's action. Judge Wallace was the first to object. He said that the act of one Judge of the Superior Court in committing a man for contempt done in the preseace of the court ought to be regarded as the act of | the court, and that he thought the person ‘who considered himself injured should be invited to apply to the Supreme Court for any relief to which he deemed himseif en- titied. Now Judge Hebbard is impelled to dis- miss the writ, remand the petitioner and let him proceed further as he may be ad- vised. BLUE VS. RED ROOK Street Committee Is Asked to Abolish the Eattler Test. The Street Committee sought enlight- enment last night on the subject of the respective merits of blue and red rock for maca‘amizing and concrete purposes, as advocatea by contractors and quarry- owners interested in one or the other. The advocates of red rock also urged the abolition of the Rattler test, while the ad- vocates of blue rock were equally deter- mined in their support of its retention. The former argued that the Rattler test i altogether inconclusive and unsatisfac- tory and that whereas it is admittedly the case that red rook is frequently con- demned when subjected thereto, a material like soapstone will pass through it une scathed. The red rock party freely as. serted that the blue rock gentlemen con- stituted a monopolistic combination, and the biue rock gentlemen assured the committee that their only desire was to promote the cause of good road construc- tion. The committee listened to the discus- sion for three hours, and will subse- | quently report its conclusions to the board. The principal speakers on behalf of red rock, and who advised the abolition of the Rattler test, were J. C. Heggerty, J. B. Crocker, Joseph Scheerer, Diggins and P, H. Goessel, who were opposed by Mr. Lukens, E. McCullough, George and Harrv Gray, D. Sullivan, Wetmore and C. A. Warren. The committee adjourned after further discussion. ———— Deprived of His Rights. The Supreme Court has overruled the de- cision of the lower court and ordered a new trialin the case of Joseph M. A. Fournfer, & saloon-keeper, who was convicted of arson in Madera. There was $600 insurance on the man's saloon, which burned to the ground just before hé was to depart for France, At the trial Fournier tried to explain why he had removed a cask of wine and a cask of brandy, and he wanted to introduce witnesses to prove thathe was about to sell the saloon for more than the amount of the insurance. Both priy- ileges were denied by the lower court. The Supreme Court held that this was not glving tne accused a fair chauce to prove bis inno- cence of the charge and it made the foregoing order.
