TO IGNORE THE ORDER. Sovereign Scores Jndgo Jenkins for tils Northern Pacific lnjunbtlon. In a a;eech belttro- 200 railroad men, gathered Sunday afternoon at Dos Moloos, to form a local scjoclntlon of the American Ballwny Union, General Master Workman X . Fovorelgn denounced Judge Jenkins, of Milwaukee, for Issuing an Injunction against the employes of the Northern Paclh'c, and announced bis intention to disregard It Nearly all the membeis of the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor wore present at the meeting and they smiled approval at Mr. Sovereign's remarks, Hr. Sovereign said In part: "This is the first time that the Hag of treason has floated over the. United States treasury. For the first time In tho history of the country patronage has been doted out to get an uiiflt man confirmed as Judge of the fuprome Court I'or the first ttmo in the history ot Itio country laboring men have bean ordered by the courts to keep tholr mouths shut under penalty of being sent to jail I do not want to get into troub'e with the courts, for the penalty is a ! 3.000 flno and imprisonment In the penitentiary for sis montha Jndge Jenkins, ot Milwaukee. Issued this order, which U a disgrace. I have been enjoined from talking to the men of this road about their troubles. Just as sure as there is a God In heaven I ill violate tho Injunction. Who is Judge Jenkins, anyway? He is but a tool, a man whose soul was Intended for hades snd whose posterior was made for kicks Applause. One laboring man is as good as another, and the corporations should be made to understand it. It I had one class of laborers in this country thoroughly organized I could win every strike which was started. If all the gravediggers were organized and there was a strike anywhere I would call them all out and raise such a row that the Oppressors would be glad to surrender." General J. B. Weaver was alsj present and made a speech favoring organization.

NULLIFIES THE LAW. Jndge Grosscnp. of Chicago, Decide Interstate Commerce Case. The interstate commerce law is practically a dead letter if a decision rendered by Jndge Grosscup in the United States Court, at Chicago, holds good. Under that decision it becomes Inoperative and of no value, for the reason that it will be imtosslble lo convict any one of violating any ot Its 'provisions. That was the great point Involved when the grand jury reported that certain railroad men refused to ' answer questions, and they were cited to appear and show why they vera not in contempt of court If they were, they could be force! to answer; if they we:e not, tbey could not be forced to answer, nnd it would become Impossible to enforce the provisions of the law. Judge Grosscup held that General Freight Agent James, of the Lake Shore Road, and Gordon McLeod, agent of the Merchants' Freight Line, the witnesses who refused to answer questions put to them, were right In the position hlch they took, and that they cannot te compelled to answer. James and McLeid were asked odes'. Hons which were Intended to draw out information as to illegal cuts in rates made by the companies which they represent Both refused to answer on the ground that tie fifth amendment to the constitution of the United States gives every man the right to refuse to make disclosures which will criminate himself. They took this position in spite of the fact that on Feb, 11, 1883, Congress amended the Interstate act with the intention of remedying the defect nointed out in the law In the fupreme Court decision in the Counselraan Case.

BAYARD MAY BESIGX. Ambassador to Kngland Hu Grown Tired of His Position, Ambassador Bayard, according to a story told in diplomatic circles at Washington, Is sick of his job and wants to come home.

He does enjoy the acquaintance of the officials with whom he comes in contact In London. He doom's like what is generally known as society.

SENATE COMMITTEE INDORSES HIS ACTS IN HAWAII. Majority Report on Hawaii Takes 111 President to ' Task benator Morgau's I'lmllng Not Indorsed by Messrs. Sherman, Vrye, bolph and Davis Minority lilames ilinii The Senate's Hawaii Committee submitted itH rbports-800 Jjiinted ijris M tulay. The ma.'ority finding, tv. i ton t v Mr. Morgan, justitiee Mf, !r t yens' at-tian ox opt in prt clttiniingr a protectorate, und findb nothing Irregular in the appointment of Mr. Blount, b.t in effect : ays tho evidence taken by the committee under more favorable circumstances leads the committee to uil'e -ont conclusions than those which he foraged. This report is concurred in aa to all its essential Hndiug. by the majority, the Republican members of the committee Senators Sheimiin, Frye, Polph and l'avin. They condemn the appointment of t'o-' missioner Blount ns unooiistit-.itioiial; suy the executive orders placing tho navy in t lie harbor of Honolulu under the orders of Mi Blount or Mr. Willis were without authority of law; that the order ( f Blount to Admit al Skeii'ett to lower tho flag was unlawful und susceptible of l;nirig construed a unfriendly to the provi ional gbverim.ent. and rejrard the irit irc itirse of Mr. Blbnnt nnd Mr. Willis with the depo-ert (,'ueen a violative of international law and unwarranted. They consider the 1 'resident had no right to reopen the predetermined legality of tho provis onal government, and regard any discussion of tho "personal intentions" or "good faith of either Mr. Blount or Mr. Willis as immaterial. The report of Senators Butler, Turpie, Daniel, and Gray dis onts from that portion which declares: The only sutstuutlal irregularity la the conduct of Mr Stovons, the late Mlolster, was his declaration of a protectorate by the I'nltea states over Hawaii While exempting; from eansuro Capt. Wiltze of tho Boston and his officers, thoy add: We can not avoid the conviction that tbo lno)p rtuno zeal of Minister Stovoa in tbo project of annexutlon Cuusod him to exreed tho proper limits of his official duty. His c. nuuet wa directly coniluclvo to bringing about tils condition of affairs which resulted In tho overthrow of the Queen, the organisation of tbe provisional government, tbo lauding of the United' Htates troopi, aod the attempted scheme of annexation; and apon tbls conclusion bis conduct Is seriously reprehc njlble and dolervlnpr of public censure. Senators Butler and Turpie file a snpp'e nental report, in which they say thoy aro heartily In favor of the acoui ition of these islands by the ITnited States in a proper manner, but not by taking advantage of intornal dissensions, for which they believe the United States in some manner responsible. The conclusion of tho Morgan report to which Messrs. Sherman, Frye, Dolph, and Davia, the majority, dissent is as follows: Therefore your commutes concludes to report that the President of tho I'll Hed States has not. In this particular, In any wise been a party to any Irregularity or any imrroprlety of conduct In his high office, The committee also Anils nothing worthy of crlt'clsm In tho negotiation of the treaty of annexation v)th tho provisional government of Hawaii In the opinion of the cominlttoo, based upon tbe evidence which accompanies this report, the only substantial irregularity that existed in tho conduct of any officer of tbe United States, or agent of the President, durlnl or since the time of the revolution of 1803, was that of Minister Stevens In declarlne a protectorate of the ITnited States over Hawaii, and in placing the flag of oar country upon the government building of Honolulu. No actual harm resulted from this unauthorized act, but as a precedent it is not to be considered as being Justified. The committee has not considered it necessary to present any resolutions stating the conclusions inaicateil in the report, and asks that it be discharged from the further consideration of the resolutions under which this report is made. A GIGANTIC SCHEME. To Construct a Canal from Lake Michigan to Lake Eric A ttupendous canal scheme which if carried out will entirely revolutionize the traffic of tho great lakes, is said to bo in contemplation by a number of capitalists in Chicago, New York, Boston and London. The proposed canal Is designed to immensely facilitate the passage of vessels from Chicago. Milwaukee and other n' rthwestern points to the East, and to render entirely unnecessary the present long route through the Straits of Mackinaw, Lake Huron, St. Clair River and lake and thence down the Detroit Kiver to Lake Erie. The plan now said to he under serious contemplation is to construct a canal directly across the State of Michigan from tm' eastern shore of Lake Michigan to either Detroit or Toledo, Ohio. Should either of these plans prove to be feasible, it w.U result in ono of the most gigantic enterprises of the century. A number of capitalists from Chicago, New Yoslc, and Boston are said' to stand ready to buck tho project to the extent of a-AO.roo.OOO, mid it is also said that the English capitalists who aro interested in the Canadian Pacific Road have also shown a decided disposition to render material financial aid in perfecting this great work. At present those most intimately connecto 1 with the scheme are unwilling to divulge theif plans, or to allow tho use of their names, but it is stated on reliable authority that preliminary survoys of several proposed routes for this contemplated canal have already been mado, and the feasibility of the project have already been vouched for by eminent engineers. One of the plans under consideration is to tap Lake Michigan at a point near Michigan City or" New Buffalo, and to run the canal directly eastward to Toledo. Another plan, which also ha9 a number of influential supporters, is tostrike Lake Michigan at Benton Harbor and thence run in a northeasterly direction to Detroit. Hither of these canals would bo about 180 miles long, THREE DEAdTn A BLIZZARD. Heavy Snowstorm In Texas, Arkansas, and at Other Points. Reports from sections of Texas and Arkansas indicate that a severo snowstorm has prevailed there. At Temple, Sherman, Denison, and Fort Worth tho snowfall is tho heaviest known in over a decade. Soveral inches of snow have fallen in Arkansas and in some of the ud joining States, and in Indian Territory the -old is intense. Trains in Texas have In on delayed in eoncoquen -o of the storm and some upprohenslon is felt by the cattlemen, who fear tho storm may result disastrously t,i their herds. In tho ruminolo Indian reservation the bodies of Joseph Add, a negro, and two half-breed Indianhave been found In the woods, frozen stiff. They were hunting, and, lining caught in tlie blizzard of several weeks ago, porished. Odd, Ouinr, Curious. iRKLANn is larger than Scotland by li,(M0 sqra e mile-.

This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by tho proprietors and manufacturers of tho Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who havo not brought its merits and talue to th knowledge, of the general public. This medicine has completely solved tho problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in tho cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause.

It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of tho lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent.

NERVOUS BISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to conmnre with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and

harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child 0:. the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all tho ailmentsi to which the human

family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges

tion. When there is an insufficient supply of servo food in the blood, a general state of debility of tho brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the

result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all

tho power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is foimed. This accounts

for its universal adaptability to rangement. CB1HVOHDJVTLLE. IXD.. AtlK. 20, 'Sd.
