LITTLE ROCK, Ark., March 31.—State Senator Butt, accused of accepting a bribe and who refused to answer ques- tions propounded by the Grand Jury nate himself, must answer, according to a decision of the Supreme.Court today. The decision stipulates that his answers cannot be used against Butt when his case comes to trial. vention will be | for | a manner that he | The charge lodged In his breast, | on the ground that he might inerimi- | England are enforced with great sever- ity, and accidents of the kind that wjill happen in the best regulated news- papers occasionally have to be paid for just as though they were the products of villainy and. malice aforethought. An instance of this occurred recently which has caused a Surrey newspaper to be mulcted in $150 damages. Going to press in a hurry two stories got mixed up, one relating to a woman's suit for divorce and the other to a po- lice court case. The transition from one to the other must have baffled a good many readers. “It had been held in a very old case,” ran the report, “that when the donor remained in possession, a deed of gift | that the persistent annoyance and blackmail would not be allowed to go on. Witness had her under observa- tion.” But newspaper readers are hur- | ried people in these days, and probably | many gave up the sentence as unintel- | ligible, and saw nothing improbable in | the eventual fact that.*she”™—the wrong | “she” the peace for six months. But having failed to get a divorce, she saw here brilliant chance to obtain | solace for her disappointment. Ac- | cordingly she brought suit for damages and in vain the editor and the foreman of the composing-room endeavored to make a stolid British jury understand | how easily such a blunder might hap- | pen, and how impossible it was, under | modern newspaper conditions. to take suth precautions as would prevent it. ‘ Meanwhile the French courts have | just decided that the use of zoological | metaphor, reflecting on the mental ca- pacity of a student at school, is not | libelous. A schoolmaster in the De- | partment of the Ariege sent a boy home with this inscription on his exer- ‘ cise book, “This pupil is an a: The | indignant father promptly summoned the schoolmaster before the “juge de He contended that the use of paix.” the word “ass” constituted a libel not only upon the boy, but upon his rela- tions, since if the pupil was a donkey, his whole family- must, logi- cally and zoologically, be donkeys too. In fact the application of the term, | counsel argued, constituted a grave re- tion upon the genealogy of the re- pient. The Judge took that view of !'it, too. and gave a verdict against the schoolmaster. The schoolmaster, how- ever, appealed to the Court of Cassa- | tion, which reversed the verdict, hold- | ing that the word “ass” applied by a schoolmaster to a dull pupil. should be construed metaphorically and not lit- erally. The decision has caused great rejoicing among French pedagogues, whe already suffer from the disad- vantage of being prohibited from using corporeal punishment.

AOOT ABANDONS. THRIFF NATTERS Secretary Is Convinced That - Present Congress Will Not Consider . Any Treaties PLENTY OF WORK AHEAD He Will Be Kept Busy With * Other Questions. of Vital Interest to the Country WASHINGTON, March 31.—Convinced that reciprocity treaties with Great Britain, for the establishment of closer | trade relations between the United | States and Canada, are out of the ques- tion at this time, Secretary Root has determined to abandon the tariff ques- tion for the present and is busying himself with other matters of vital in- terest to this country and Canada in | the hope of settling points of difference | which badé fair to be settled by the | Joint High Commission when the Klon- dike gold strike caused the mnegotia- tions to be broken oft suddenly and en- gendered a feeling of hostility which did not subside until a mixed tribunal fixed the boundary between the British and American mineral lands. A canvass of the Senate persuaded Secretary Root that a treaty would not be considered at this session of Con- gress. Although there was much clamor for tariff revision and modification early in the session, it failed to gain many supporters, and the recent an- noucement of Chairman Payne of the Housc committee on ways and means that no tariff legislation would be assed by this Congress confirmed the reports that Republican leaders had agreed to accept the counsel of the “stand-patters.” CONCESSIONS FOR GERMANY. As the State Department is under ob- ligations to secure concessions for Ger- many in return for the favor she gave the United States by permitting this country to remain among the favored nations in spite of the discriminatory tariffs ‘recently put into force by the German Government, Secretry Root concluded that it would not be wise to undertake other tariff propositions at a time when legislators seem so little in- clined to tariff changes. The preserva- tion of Niagara Falls, the control of the St. Johns River, between New Bruns- wick and Maine, and unjust discrimina- tions against.dmerican fishermen along the east coast of Canada are among the mattérs demanding adjustment. Seal fishing in Bering Sea and the North Pacific is another subject of dis- pute between Canada and the United States which demands settlement. _Sei- |Zure of British vessels by the United States resulted in international en- tanglements extending over a number | of years and in 1892 the subject was re- ferred to arbitration and the Paris tribunal of arbitration decided against the United States and ruled that the taking of seals in the high seas was a legitimate and lawful occupation, but as the United States and.Great Britain had both declared themselves In favor of protecting seals, the tribunal pro- mulgated a serles of regulations for pelagic sealing, which were deemed adequdte to protect the seals of the Pribyloft herds. 3 PLENTY OF WORK AHEAD. The regulations have proven inade- quate and the number of seals has de- creased rapldly. Great Britain refused to take part In an international con- ference held in 1897 by Japan, Russia and the United States to discuss plans for the protection of fur seals. In the same year Great Britain consented, how- ever, to send scientific men to join in an investigation of the fur seals about the Pribyloff Islands and the report of these sclentists, prominent among whom was David Starr Jordan, presi- dent of Stanford Unlversity, showed.a diminution of the herd which threat- ened the extinction of fur seals. This report was held by the United States to sustain its position against seal fishing. Other subjects which will doubtless be taken up again by Secretary Root are: Provisions for the transit of mer- chandise in transportation to or from either country across intermediate ter- ritory of the other, whether by land or water: transit of merchangise ffom one country to be delivered in points | in the other beyond the frontier, alien labor laws, applicable to the subjects or citizens of the United States and of Canada; mining rights of the subjects or citizens of each country within the territory of the other: a revisiag of the agreement in 1817 respecting = naval for the conveyance for trial or punish- ment of persons in the lawful custody of officers of one country through the territory of .the other: reclprocity in wrecking and salvage rights. (JUDGE'S RETIREMENT | TO END BITTER FIGHT Jurist Noyes cf Riverside Gives Up Struggle for y Re-election. RIVERSIDE, March 31.—Realizing the hopelessness of his aspirations to suc- ceed himself as Superior Judge of this county and knowing that all the Jeaders of the bar and most of the prominent business men of this and other cities of this county are opposed to him, J. S, Noyes has announced his retirement from the race and from politics. He says he has formed a partnership with two' at- torneys in Los Angeles and will practice He further declares that he will resign’ before the expiration of his term and probably will leave the city. This leaves the field open to Frank A. Densmore to secure the Republican nomination for Superior Judge, which is tantamount to election. t is belleved Densmore will be appointed to fill the un- expired term if Noyes resigns. Thus ends what otherwise would have been a bitter political and personal fight, a sequel to the “Tom” Hays scandal which followed the wrecking of the de- funct Orange Growers' National Bank by Hays. Noyes was and is a Hays parti- san and throughout the ‘disgrace which Hays brought upon himself Noyes se- cretly stood by the man who had made bis last election possible. MYSTERY SOLVED BY CHINESE SEER " rects Searchers to Body of Murdered Boy. HONOLULU, March 24.—A Chinese for- -tune-teller was the means of exposing the ‘whereabouts of the little Wharton boy after the latter had been and cut to pleces by Frank Johnson at"Waialua a month ago. When the little boy was missed there was a general search, with~ out result. ~ Finally a boy asked Mrs. ‘Wharton for 50 cents. in order that he might consult the seer.
