BILLS REPORTED T0 THE SENATE Dingley’s Tariff Measure Is Submitted by Aldrich. Information Asked Regarding the Work of the Venezue- lan Commission. Gorman'’s Obj-ctlon to the Large Appropriations Ably Responded To by Senator Foraker. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4. — The Dingley tariff bil was reported back to the Senate to-day by Aldrich and placed on the calendar, to be called up two weeks rom to-day. it will be followed in a few days with a printed statement showing the character of changes presented in the amendments recommended by the Finauce Committee. Aldrich stated it was the intention of the committee to present provisions in re- lation to reciprociiy in place of the sec- tion in the House bill, which the commit- tee recommended struck out. At the request of White, a memher of the Finance Committee, Aldrich said the report represented the action of the ma- | jority of the committee and that the Demo- ratic members non-concur. A resolution was offered by Allen and agreed to requesting the President to in- form the Senate whether the spesial com- mission appointed to examine and report the boundary lines between Venezuela and British Guinea has yet reported, and if so to transmit to the Senate a copy of the re- port; if not to state what progress has been made in the investigation. A joint resoiution for the reception of Carlos Guiterrez, son of San Salvador’s President, at West Point Academy for in- struction was introduced by Hawley. A letter froln Secretary Sherman was read, saying the request had been made by the Governmeut of Salvador through the Minister of the Greater Republic of Central America. Morgan protested that no recognition of the Greater Republic of Central America had ever been made by the United States, ana said Congress ought to pe informed whether there was such a republic. The resolution, however, was passad. Allison, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, moved to proceed to the | consideration of the civil appropriation bill, but was appeeled to by Morgan (D.) of Alabama not to press the motion until 20'clock, so as to give an opportunity for the consideration of the joint rescluiion recognizing the belligerency of Cubans. He intimated that the delay 1n action on that joint resolution was intended to give pain an opportunity to raise money in the markets of Europe on her bonds, which she would not be able to do if the enate passed the joint resolution. Allen disclaimed any such purpose and stated woy he desired action on the ap- propriation bill, which he hoped to have completed. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the sundry civil bill. The reading of the bill covering 139 printed pages and appropriating about $3,000,000 was completed in two hours and a half. The few amendments recommended by the Committee on Appropriations were agreed to without Guestion. Among them were propositions to make immedi- ately available $2,333,000 for improving the Mississippi River and $100,000 for the payment of fees in the United States courts. The bill was then open to general amendments. The first of these led 108 speech by Gorman deprecating the ex- travagant appropriations of the bill. Gor- man invei ghed generally against the bill as appropriating a larger aggregate amount than had ever been contained in any similar bill. The tariff bill reported to-day proposes to ada $65,000,000, or $70, 000,000 taxes of the people. He though | would be the height of unwisdom at this time to increase the already too large items in the sundry civil bil. There were items there which could af- ford to wait until atleast larger taxes were wrung from the people under the new tanil. He had hoped an attempt woula | be made to reduce the tariff bill as it came from the House and he trusted before 1t passed the Senate it would be greatly re- duced. There should be also a great re- duction in the expenditures and he ap- pealed to the Senate to apply the pruning- knife to the sundry civil bill, Foraker, in replying to Gorman, said if bhe knew there were items in the biil which ought not to be, it was his duty to point them oui. As to ithe Republican party Foraker declared its policy was speak- ing for itself more eloquently than any human tongue could speak. He con- tended that it is the purpose of our legis- lation that the Government shall have sufficient revenue to meet ordinary ex- penses, sufficient revenue to make it un- necessary to issue bonds to meet current obligations, and sufficient revenue to pay pensions to men entitled to them. It will have that revenue and those obligations will all be maintained. After further discussion the bill went over without action. The Senate homestead bill, which has been the unfinished business several days, was taken upand passed; yeas 42, nays 11. It provides that all settlers under the Lomestead iaws upon public lands ao- quired prior to the passage of this act are entitled to a patent for the land upon pay- ment to the local land officers of the cus- témary fees, The Senate then adjourned. THE BLYTHE CASE. Attorney-General Hart Has Frepared His Brief for the United States Su- prems Court. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—Attor- ney-General W. H. H. Hart of California has prepared his brief to file with the Unied States Supreme Court in the Blythe case. In moving to dismiss'the writ of error he argues that the United States Government bas not made any treaty or passed any law and there is no provision in the United States covstitution prohib- iting a State granting to a non-resiaent alien the right to inherit land within the State; hence a State statute granting such right isnot in conflict with any treaty or law of the United States nor with the constitution of the United States. He savs there is no doubt that if there were a treaty existing between the United Siates and a foreign country providing that any citizen of the fore gn country might take in any property of the United States by succession as heir, that such a provision in a treaty would have the effect | to suspend a State statute or the common law prohibiting such citizen of the foreign country from inLeriting, and upon this point he calls the court's attention to the case of Hauenstein vs. Linham and the case of George Froy vs. Riggs, 133U, 8. 258-266. It is stated in the latier case (267): “The treaty, being part of t' e supreme law of the land, controls the statute end com- mon law of Maryland wherever it differs from it.”” Ample ground for dismissing, for want of jurisdiction, the writ of error issued in this case appears in the decisicn of the Superior Court in the proceeding under section 1664 of the Code of C:vil Procedure of California, as well as in the decision in said application for aistribution, in both of which decisions it was found and ad- judged, as abovae stated, that the plainuffs in error in this case were not related, nor was either of them reiated to said Thomas Blythe, deceased. Jefferson Chandler, attorney for plain- tiffs in error, will arrive Lere in a day or two. Mr. Hart does not know whether he will file a brief in answer o hisown argument or whether he will move for a continuance. Seosegte il AFTER THE SPANISH MISSION. Four Well-Backed Candidates With In- dicatrons That They All Stand an Even Chance. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4—Four men are being considered for the Spanish mission—Herbert W. Bowen of New York, Charles Page Bryan of Illinois, John Rus- sell Young of Pennsylvania and J. Frank Aldrich of [llinois. The indications are that ali of them stand an equal chance. E :ch candidate 1s strongly backed, and if it comes to a matter of influence it will be hard for the Presiden: to choose. Beuind Frank Aldrich is Speaker Reed, while Herber: Bowen is indorsed by many New Englaud Congressmer, General Horace Porter, Admiral Ecber and others. Bryan has Secretary Gage and the Illinois Benators at his back, while John Russell Young has the President’s personal friend- | ship. Young has asked no belp and is not | an applicant for the mission. Itisknown, | bowever, that he would take the place if offered him. The latest applicant is Bryan, and if the influence of Ga:e prevails he will go to Madrid. At present Bryan is a member of the Illinois Assembly and chairman of the Civil Service Committee. Frank Aldrich, who was Reed’s official mathematician in the skirmish for the St. Louis nomnation, is an applicant for the Spanish mission fir-t, butif it is shown that he cunnot have that he will be con- tent with another appointment. Reed is | doing ail in his power to help Aldrich, Herbert W. Bowen seems to have rested his case. About a fortnight ago it was in- timated that Bowen would get the place, but since other candidates bave appeared he will not haye smooth sailing. _— JAPAN'S MINISTER TALKS. Sees No Occasion for Unfriendliness With This Country on Account of Hawau's Action. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4—Itis| said at the Jupanese legation that advices that there is unusual excitement there on | account of the recent deportation of Japa- | nese immigrants from Hawali. The Japanese Minister to-night expressed regret that exaggerated rumors upon the | subject should have apparently gained credencs here. In his opinion there is nothing either in the attitude of his Goy- | ernment or public feeling justity the belief that the question be- tween Japan and Hawaii cannot be settied by ordinary diplomaiic metbods, Least of all, he says, is there anything in the incident which can possibly cause a mis- | understanding between Japan and the United States. Japanese immigraticn to Hawaii was begun at the solicitation of the Hawailan | Government; but now the authorities of | the republic, without notice and contrary to precedent, so the Minister says, have denied the Japanese the right to land. The Japanese Minister has no doubt that his Government will hold that the Ha- waiian Government has thereby violated the conventional rights of Japanese sub- | jects, and will endeavor by well-recognized wmethods of diplomacy to secure some remedy for persons whose interests have been injured, “Tnat is all there isof the question,” he says, “and it leaves no room for the pretext that Japan is about to seek re- dress in some extraordinary way. Japan will make no remonstrance against reasonanle laws. She has shown this by acquiescing in the decision of the | Hawallan authorities regarding the | deportation of a large number of con- tract laborers who had gone to Hawaii in violation of both Japanese and Ha- waiian iaw, but in other cases claims | the laws of Hawaii, in manifest refusal of | all precedents, were capriciously eniorced and for that reason she asks for her peo- ple the redress to which the reaty of Ha- | w nd the law of nations entitle them. With this alone in view the Japanese Govercment has shown no inclination to | adopt any but a reasonable and moderate | policy. Her suspension of emigration at | the beginning of the trouble was the best | proof that could be given of her desi e not to aggravate the situation.” The Japanese Minister says he is con- vinced that when the people of this coun- try understand fully the significance of | thiat action, as well as the general policy of bis Government they will sympathize with the efforis of Japan to protect her people instead of regarding them as inim- ical to their own interest. in Japan to| e — SALISBURY DECLINES. Will Mot Enter Into an Agreement to Protect the e, WASBHINGTON, D. C,, May 4.—A note bas been received at the State Department from Lord Salisbury which is said to give his reasons for declining to enter into a modus vivendi for the present sealing season in Bering Sea and to send a fleet to maintain a patrol. Jobn W. Foster, the special envoy of this Government to negotiate: and sign an agreement with Great Britain for the better protection of the seal herds, is preparing an answer to Salisbury’s presentation of the case. While no positive confirmation can be se- cured, it is hinted that the Britisn Gov- ernment has declined to send another ex- pert commission 10 Bering Sea to in- vestigate the condition of the herds witn the view of determining whether some concerted action with the United States is necessary to prevent their extermination. —_— 1UGGING AT THE RESERVE. 2he Feeling of Security Is Slightty Al toyed With Anwlety. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4. — The gold in the treasury was decreased ngariy $4,000,000 to-day from yesterday. It is now under $150,000,000. The treasury cffi- still pretend to the same indifference as at first, when they said that the drain would be but temporary, but it is cur- rently reported that there is a feeling of anxiety in the treasury for fear that the experience of the last administration, which was so strongly condenined by the Republicans, may be repeated. Shouid the ressrve become dangerously low, it would probably kurry the passage of the tanff bill. A Nust Make Way for Repudlicins. WASRINGTON, D. C., May 4—Com- missioner of Pensions H. C.

Low Rates to the Convention to Be Held in This City. Many Eloquent Speakers Who Have Promised to Be Present on the Occasion. BOSTON, Mass, May 4.—Great prepara- tions are being made by local members of the Christian Endeavor Society toattend the annual convention at San Fraucisco, and everything points to a larze at- tendance from this city. Unusually low railroad rates have been agreed apon, and to many this will be the trip of a lifetime. In Chicago yesterday a representative of the Endeavorers conferred with Chuair- man Caldwell and the the executive com- mittee of the Western Passenger Associa- tion. The new arrangements made will permit a ] Western lines to sell tickets at the following rates—these rates for one way, either going or returning: From Chicago and Milwaukee to San Francisco, $2 from 8t. Louis, Cairo, Mempais aud New Orleans to San Fran- to San Francisco, $24; from St. Paul and Francisco, $2675; from Sioux City, Columbus, Kansas, Mineok and Houston to San Francisco, 22 50. These unusually low rates are most thousands will be now induced to make the journey to the convention, and at the same time visit all important points of | interest in tne far West and Calijornia. The Eastern and Southern lines will sell round-trip tickets up to these Western gateways at one price for the round-trip | ticket, The reason the Western lines will not sell round-trip tickets is that they wish to protect themselves from the ticket brokers, but as they have made the than one fare for the round trip. The prospects for a grand convention are the best. The programme is certainly | the very best ever vrepared by the United Society of Christian Endeavor.

General Surprise at the Ver- dict and the Prisoner Collapses. Peculiar Phases of the Case Lead to Conviction on Circumstan- tlal Evidence. PONCA, Nepr,, May 4 —Dr. J. Sidney Goodmanson was to-night declared guilty of wife-murder and sentenced to life im- prisonment. The jury dehberated but two bours, the first ballot being unani- mous. The prisoner almost fainted when his fate was announced. The verdict was a general surprise and an appeal will be taken. It is conceded that the revelations con- cerning the young woman at Kansas City, to whom the accused was engaged while his wife was still living, had much to do with the conyiction. Though the fact was elicited that Goodmanson kept her picture hung in his wife’s room and con- tinually taunted Mrs. Goodmanson with the story of his love for the girl, the name of the woman has never been learned. The State sent a detective to Kansas City, but he was unable to discover anything about her. The picture is that of a girl richly dressed, about 20 years of age, and a magnificent blonde. The theory of the State was that in order to marry this girl and to get the balance of his wife's fortune the murder was committed. Mrs. Goodmarson died last September in her husband’s office at Pender, Nebr. The symptoms were those of strychnine poisoning, though the at- tending physician certified that death re- sulted from heart failure. Goodmangon has shown great concern during the trial for the Kansas City girl ior fear that her identity would be disclosed. ALTGELD 4S A WITHESS.
