An Ohio Law, Giving ihe ¥ ctims of Mcbs Heavy Dam-ges, Deciared Un- corstrrutional. CLEVELAND, Onio; July 1.—The law giving damages to persons injured at the hands of a mob was declared unconstitu- tional to-day by Judge Diesseth in the common pleas court. The opinion was given on the demurrer to suits brought gainst the County Commissioners by Owen Murphy ‘and George Pium to re- $10,000 damages each for injuries re- d during the Brown strike, ; he suits weré founded on the statute passed April 10, 1896, known as the Ohio Iynch law. The law says any person taken from the custody of officers. by a mob and receiving injuries shall receive $1000 from the county. lithe victim sheuld be killed his represeniatives shall receive $5000 dumages, z ‘T'he constitutional defect in the law, ac- cording to Judee Diesseth, consists in fix- ing the maximum amount of damages for any degreeof injury, thereby taking out of the hands of & jury power to assess damages according to the extent of in- jury. Suit has also bsen brought under tne law by a relative of a negro lynched at Urbana. —_— CONFLAGRAIIONS IN EGYPT, Troeps Will Shortly Kesume Their Ad- vance Toward Abdul Hamid, NEW YORK, N.

A Moderate Duty Placed on Wearing Apparel From Abroad. Teller Inquires About That Antl- Trust Amendment to the Measure. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1.—The neer approach of the completion of the tariff bill was referred to- in_ the opening prayer io-day by Rev. Hugh Johnson, who said: “We recognize thy hand in this work of commercial legislation now nearing completion in so-short & pertod of Congressional history. We thank thee for the courage, the disinterestedness and the generosity exhibited by Senatorsand Representatives and that party iuterests and feelings and local interssts have been subordinated to the expressed will of the majority in this legisiation.” The tariff bill was taken up promptly. At the outset Teller of Colorado made in- quiries as_to the reports that an snti-trust amendment would be brought in. This was a most importaut matter, he said, and there should be ample time for its consid- eration..” Allison said hé did. not know what disposal was to be made of the sub- ject, as no action had been taken by the Finance Committee. Teller said it had been reported about the chamber that such an amendment had been considered in caucus. He urged that it should not be brought in at the last mo- ment, *'&s it will not be done,” he added ‘with positiveness, Allison gave assurance that.no such hasty action-would be taken. ‘White of California remarked that he thought the anti-trust subject had beeu dropped. “The trouble with ‘Senator White and myself,” answered Teller, “is that we are not meibers of the Republican caucus, and, therefore, are somewhat in the dar The Senate placed cn the-free list cot- ton bagging, burlap, grain sacks made of burlap and other bags made of jute or hemp.

Tne Finance Com- mittee substitute limits the privilege to necessary and appropriate articles. for present comfort and conveniences, Alli- son modified the substitute by adding a provision that in the case of residents of the United States all wearing apparel and personal effects taken by them from the United States may be brought back free of auty, without regard to their value, and artieles purchased abroad only to the amount of $100. - G Vest cuaracierized the imitation as “rot,” stimuiated by a few American mer- ehant tailors who overcharged enormous- ly. It was, he said, an outrage.on an in- dividual’s social freedom — an indirect relic of barbarism. Sewell also opposed the restriction as *'a mean thing” and as “‘giving way to dema- gogism.”’ : The- restriction was advocated by Stew- art, Gallinger and Allen, and the para- graph as modified was agreed to. The iron ore paragraph (118) was changed so as to make one clause read “Manganese ore, contsining less than forty metallic units in dry state, $1 a ton.”” A new paragraph was put on the free- list - (6703{) admitting words of art, the product of .

Indications That the Bill Will Be Enaoted Newr Weel. * WASHINGTON, D. C., July L-£The Republicans of the Senate held a well-at- tended caucus '0-night which lasted until 11:30. The disputed questions’ yet re- maininz .undisposed of were taken up seriatim and a harmonious agreement reached. ‘I'iic result of the caucus was so satisfactoi'y that the Republicans believe that the tariff bill will be disposed of, or at least go through the commitiee of the whole, by Saturday of this week. A grent deal, however, will depend upon the course of the Democrats. The caucus decided to retain the anti- trust law in vhe Wilson bill, and this will undoubtedly dispose of the anti-trust amendment, as enough Democratic sup- port can pe had to secure the adoption of this section. It was also agreed that the amendments made by the Finance Com- ing tue tax on beer from $1 1o $1 44 a bar- rel, should be dropped. The question of the amount of revenue to be derived from the much-amended bill was discussed at great length, asit was made clear that sufficient revenue will not'be produced. The caucus adopted a proposition to place a tax upon transac- tions in stocks and bonds. There were no very positive assurances that this would increase the receipts adequately, but it was considered a more equitable plan than a tax on bank checks, which, it was ar- gued, wasa taxon t FEr R TO LIMIT DEBAIE. " Plan for Considering the Tariff Bill in the House. WASHINGTON, D. C., July L.—During the last few days the members of the Committee on Ways and Means have been in consultation with members of the Fin- ancs Committee of the Senate regarding the method of considering the tariff bill when it shall get back to the House. As a result Dalzell to-day introduced the fol- lowing resolution, which went to Commit- tee on Rules for action: Resolved, That upon the return from the Senute of House bill 379 it shall be in order to move to non-concur in Senate amendments In ross and to agree 1o a committee of confer- uce, if asked for by the Senate, and the House shall, without further delay, proceed to vote upou said motion; and the committee of con- ference when appointed shall nave authority to join with the Senate committee in renum- bering the paragraphis and sections of sald bill when finaily agreed to. : This means that there will be only twenty minutes’ debate on the matter in the preliminary stage of the conference. BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD. Secretary Gage, in Ihnefirmg the Govarn- ment’s Financial Affairs, Sees Hopetul Signs for the Future. NEW YORK, N. Y., July L—A special to the Herald from Washington says: “The Government financial affairs are In good shape,’” said Becretary Gage, in an interview. ‘‘We have come to the end of the fiscal year with a good resource behind us and brighter hopes for the future. I fecl assured that by the time June 80, 1898, rolis around the Government's af- fairs will be in better condition, while the people of the country will have cause for thankfulness whep a new era of prosperity has set in. *“With the end of the fiscal year 1896, one year ago,” continued Mr. Gage, ‘‘the gold reserve was only $102,000,000, or just barely above the theoretical reserve of a hundred millions. There was a fear that before the year was over there migh t be very large exports, compelling the ad- ministration to again issue bonds for gold. Now we not only have a gold reserve of $141,000,000, but there is not a cloud in sight as to its continuauce approximately at that very comfortable level. This is the most hopeful sign that Isee in the present condition of the Government's finances, for when the country is all right and the Government all right the gold re- sorve is sure to be all right, and vice versa, “At the'end of this fiscal year, looking over the official statement which had been on my desk, the condition of the Govern- ment is all that could be desired. There is no trouble with the gold reserve, that barometer of confidence. The business men, capitalists and investors, not only of our country, but of the world, are content with our sitiiation and prospects. “All the nervousness which formerly held us in its toils has disappesred. In its place we have confidence in the future, confidence in the Government, confidence in ourselves, The hoarding of gold has stopped, and much of the yellow metal that was piled away during the de- pression has come out and gone into cir- culation. - “The closing of the fiscal year brings us nearer 1o the passage of a new tariff law, which will give business a settled condi- tion, we hope, for a long time. That it will also give the Government sufficient revenue for its needs, doing away with the detficit, we have satisfactory evi- dence.” ; — - NEW YORK'S MURDER MYSTERY. Mrs. Nack, the Suspect, Insists Guidensuppe Is Alive and Will Yet Appear. NEW YORK, N. Y., July L—Mrs. Augusta Nack, who is under arrest in con- nection with the murder of the man sup- posed to be William Guidensuppe, spent the night at police headquarters. She in- sists that Guldensuppe has not been mur- dered and that he wiilturn up before long. Mrs. Nack slept weil all night. She in- sisted that she saw Guldensuppe on Satur- day afternoon two hours after the first portion of the body was found. The detectives are still continuing their investigations of the matter and making vigorous search for the man who sup- planted Guldensuppe in Mrs. Nack’s affec- tions. There is considerable skepticism among the police as to the murdered man being Guldensuppe, notwithstanding the positive identification of the deformed finger by ten of the missing man’s friends. Dr. Cosby, four attendants from the bathhouse and an unknown called at the Morcue to-day and positively identified the legs tound as those of Guldensuppe. Every effort is being made to extort an admission from Mrs. Nack that she has knowledge of the murder of Guldensuppe. She was subjected to a physical examina- tion by police station matrons this after- noon, after which it was asserted that her person showed marks that indicated that within a few davs she had been engaged in a hard struggle. During the examina- tion Mrs. Nack is said to have been almost hysterical and to have nearly broken down several times, That i PSRBT BUILDING a850CLAIION TANGLE.

JEW ULES FRON " THE LAND OFFCE to Strict Regulations Protect the Forest Reserves. "’ Sheep May Be Pastured on Them Only in Oregon and Washington. Timber and Water Can Be Used and Mines Worked Under Certaln Conditions. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1.—Much attention has been paid recently by the General Land Office to the preparation of rules and regulations applicable to the government' of all the various forest re- serves of the United States and Commis- sioner Hermann has now formulated these for the approval of the Secretary of the Interior. Attention is called to the matter of for- est fires which annually do so much dam- age through carelessness, and the law is specially referred to which imposes a pen- alty for willfully setting fire to timber or carelessly suffering fire to burn unat- tended near any timber and which pun- ishes sueh offense by fine or imprison- ment. The law provides that before break- ing camp fires shall be totally extin- guished. Prospecting, - locating and developing the mineral resources of forest reserves are permitted, Lands for schoolhouses and churches are provided, and the waters for domestic, mining, milling and irriga- tion purposes are also allowed. ; The construction of wagon roads is authorized, and the right 0f way across the reserves for irrigation - canals, ditches, flumes and reservoirs is permit- ted. The pasturing of livestock on the Teserves is permitted except as to sheep, which, in view of their injuries to the for- est cover, are prohibited in regions where the rainfall is limited, and the presentex- ception in this regard is exienaed only to the reserves in the States of Oregon and ‘Washington, because of the continuous moisture and abundant ranfall of the Cascades of the Pacific Coast. Even there permission must be had, which will be revoked if pasturing ex- tends to Bull Run Reserve, Crater Lake or places where injury may be done. Where persons have unperfected bona- fide claims within the reserves they may relinquish the same and select vacant public lands elsewhere without charge in cases where previous fees have been paid. The mineral lands of the forest reserves are subject to location and entry under the mining laws in the usual manner. Owners of mining locations are authorized to fell and remove from their mining claims any timber growing thereon for actual mining purposes upon their particular claim. The free use of timber is allowed to bona-fide settlers, miners, residents and prospec- tors for minerals, for firewood, fencing, buildings, etc. This privilege is restricted to persons resident within the forest re- serves who have not a sufficient supply of timber on their own claims. The sale of timber from the reserves will be permitted In limited quantities for the purpose of preserving the living and grow- ing timber and permitting the younger growth of timoer on the reserves. Dead, matured or larve growth of trees found upon the reserve shall be designated and appraised so far as the same may not be necessary for the forest preservation and water cover, and may be sold for not less than the appraised value in such quantity as shall be prescribed to each purchaser, and to be used in the State or Territory in which the reservation may be. Bixty days’ notice, published in the county where the timber is situated, is to be given before sale, Payments are to be made to the receiver of the local land office of the district wherein thetimber is sold. Before sale the timber will be eximined and ap- praised under the direction of the de- partment. In order 10 avoid a monopoly, the department may, 1n sales in excess of $500, make allotments of quantity to the several bidders, and the right is reserved to reject any or all bids. Within thirty days after an award of timber to a bidder payment must be made in full, and within one year it must be removed. Where it may be found necessary to erect temporary sawmills for use in saw- mills purchased on the grounds, a per- mit will be necessary. All timber so cut must be used in the State or Terri- tory in which the reservation is situated. Supplemental instractions are given to all special agents of the Interior Depart- ment to especially take cognizance of un- lawful cutting of timber and depredations upon the public domain, including the forest reserves, and hereaiter a vigilant watch will be directed toward the matter of forest fires. The law further provides that in the case of lands more applicable for mining and agriculture than for forestry purposes upon a proper showing made the same may be eliminated entirely from the for- est reserve and restored to the public do- main. As to the forest reserves which have lately been suspended by the recent act of Congress, the geological survey is now busily engaged in examining them and extending the exterior lines properly em- bracing the reserves, In this maner large portions erroneously heretofore embraced in reserves will be restored to public entry and other portions which were omitted from the reserves will be embraced within them. : The estimated area of the existing forest reserves is 18,993,280 acres. The estimated area of the suspended forest reserves is 19,951,360 acres.
