Traynor, supreme president of the American Protective Association an 1 publisher of the Patriotic American, to-day Issued an oiliclal address to the order. He states that his travels in the West have convince! him "that the A. P. A. Is a mighty force which no power on earth Is potent enough to restrain, although monopoly, the press, a large proportion of the Protestant to their shame or Ignorance, be it said corrupt politicians and the priesthood have joined Issue to suppress It." He reminds members that despite local victories, the alleged "center of corruption and national danger," namely, the national legislature (and g -v-ernment, remains apparently as powerful as ever. He exhorts every member to attend caucuses and independently of party elect only trustworthy members ot the order or equally good and reliable citizens as delegates to conventions. He reters to the other so-called patriotic organizations recently formed as "another Ingenious weapon forged by the enemy" and advises that they te "Quietly let alone." The address exhorts persistent opposition to immigration as a primary source of financial panics ami the "main avenue of priestlv supremacy." and advocates taxation of nil property, "ecclesiastical palaces" included, public inspection of convents and vigil int guarding of the franchise and the public schools against the "inroads of forelgnism and absolutism." In conclusion the president suggests as a watchword Wende'l Phillips's utterance. "The uneducated ballot Is the winding sheet of liberty." GRIZZLY AND LION MATCHED.

Ask yonr Grocer COXEY'S AH3IY A MYTH Only Twenty Marchers Have Arrived at the Rendezvous. The Arch Crank Still Confident lie Will Have a Host at His Hack When lie Reaches Washington. MASSILLON, o.. March 22.-The Coxey "army of peace," does not materialize. Not to exceed twenty rr.en have put In an appearance here. The leaders of the movement still profess to believe that at least one thousand men. and maybe more, will be ready to march when the army moves next Sunday. Kvery dy Coxey's mall Is loaded down with letters from persons In various parts cf the country, promising recruits to the ranks or subsistence of the army while it is on the road. The failure of the recruits to report at headquarters has given rise to suspicion in some quarters that the writers are trifling with Coxey. On the other hand, reports from towns within forty or fifty miles of Massiilcn tell of bodies of tramps, who say that they are on their way to report to Commander Coxey. Mr. Coxey went to Pittsburg yesterday, but returned In the evening. Tv'hlle In the former city he was interviewed by a reporter. He announced as something new that he had selected a woman as a sort of "Goddess of L'bertyj" to ride horseback In front of the army. Who she Is, whether she Is married or single, good looking or not, he refused to say, but he added that a member of the fair sex had been chosen for advance guard as an "emblem of purity and peace." It is reported that the woman elect Is a resident of Beaver. "I expect now," Mr. Coxey continued, "that we will leave Massillon next Sunday with four thousand people. Two thousand will come from Chicago by train. 21D people from Jackson City, Mich., inform me that they have secured a rate of 1 cent per mile and will be there, and one thousand' men have promised to reach Massillon from Indiana. These, together with the local people, will swell the number to four thouand. I verily le-lieve we will muster . 5D0.0UO people In Washington. I had figured on 200,K. I expect also that Congress will pass an emergency bill to pay the carfare of the marchers home. I am eorlldent that we will not have less than 25.t"X) visitors at Massill m to attend the meeting, and see us make the start at noon." "Suppose none of your expected army gathers, what will you do?" "Mr. Ilrown and I are pledged to make the march alone If nobody Joins us. Nothing but sickness or death will prevent us. At Alliance to-day the trnln stopid for half an hour. .julte a crowd gathered around and aked me questions. Among them was a mints ter. When I was leaving one of the men offered to house at least twelve of the army when we reached Alliance. On the train I met F. II. Itotc, of the Cleveland Chocolate and Cocoa Company, who promised to ship fifty pounds of ccm-o.i to Massillon for the army. Before I left home I found In my mail an ord?r for one hundred laves of bread to tx; delivered by a Pittsburg baker when we reached there. The order was signed by two sympathizers. When In Pittsburg a short time ao 1 met Michael Murphy, the Philadelphia oil man. who told me that he approved of the good road movement. All these assurances lead me to believe the demonstration will be successful." "Do you know that some of your offers of help are t)gus?" was asked. "Yes, I am aware of that. Some of them show the lie on their face and are sifted out. The truth is, I don't want many people on the march. My bulletins explain that the marchers must look out for themselves la the main, I don't want anybody to be deceive 1. I know that the country is sparsely settled between Erownsville and Cumberland, but I am not worrying- about that. Why, I am assured of four hundred Ix)ple frcm Somerset county who will go with us." Concerning the legality of his army Mr. Coxev said he expected Governors McKfnly and Paulson and the sheriffs of the counties to protect them. "We are not lighters," he said, "and if molested will appeals to the militia for protection, I do not know- cf a loafer or tramp who has come to Massillon to join us. We dr not want such people. To-day two colored musicians arrived to po with us. The absence of tramps should convince the public that the lawless element will not be with us. I expect the police forces of the various cities and towns to pick off such people." Kyle Kxpectn to Set the "Army." WASHINGTON', March 22. "I can hardly see," sail Senator Kyle, chairman of the Senate committee on education and labor, "why Senator Peffer shculd have had Gen. Coxey's bills referred to my committee, but I shall examine and see what can be done about them. I think the army will come to Washington," he continued. "Most assuredly I do, and I expect to look out of my committee room window on May day and see the assembled multitude there in large numbers, according to the announced programme. I should not wonder if there should be fifty thousand of them. Instead of 10.000, and I, for one, believe that If tramps and vagabonds can be kept out of the procession and a respectable lot of men gather, as I think will be the case, the demonstration will have a wholesome effeet. Jt is intended to be a protest stalnst the Issuance of bonds, and, whatever Wall street may think on the subject, I tell you the country is almost solli in this sentiment against bonds. What impression the demonstration will make on Congress I cannot say, but if It is properly conducted it cannot fail to impress the coun .y at larve and have u future if not an Immediate effect." The Senator expresses the opinion that the Governor of Pennsylvania could not le-

Fry. of the "United States industrial army," has sent to each member of Congress the following letter: "That you may be thoroughly informed, I semi you a preamble and constitution of the United States industrial army. You must be aware of the fact that nature is not at fault, for we have the most prolific country In the world; our granaries are full to overflowing, our warehouses ere full of material for clothes, and our cities have millions of vacant houses, and yet our people are ragged, hungry and homeless. These conditions are brought about by vicious and ignorant legislation in the interest oh the plutocrats. The army is daily increasing, and will perhaps number 4'o.(0. It Is marching on to present you a living petition of want and misery, one that cannot be thrown into the waste basket, to request you ro pass ome laws for their immediate relief. It Is In your power to pass a law authorizing the Secretary to Issue one billion of dollars of government lepal-tender money and employ air the idle citizens on internal improvements, such as irrigation canals to reclaim desert wastes, also to improve harbors and navigable rivers. On lehalf ot the starving millions of men, women and children, wo beseech you to act at your earliest, possible moment." (eu. Coxey's Lieutenant. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHAUT, Ind., March 22. Capt. William M. Barney, of thi3 city, is a trusted lieutenant of "On to Washington" Coxey, of Massillon, O., and expects to join the latter with a large number of men when he makes his descent on the capital. The Captain ha3 been in correspondence with Coxey ever since the latter publicly announced his intention of taking his adherents to Washington. Coxey relies on the Elkhart lieutenant to the fullest extent, and the Captain Is giving all his time and energies which are not requlr?d by large business Interests to the furtherance of the Coxey scheme. Ha says he will be ablo to take several hundred men, and has no doubt that the mission will have a very salutary effect on the legislators at Washington. Captain Barney says there are some features of the movement of which the public have not been apprised. He was a gallant soldier in the late war, has long be?n id en titled with Democratic politics of the State, and has served in the State Legislature.

Mr. Johuson and Mr. Donnelly Talk Wildlj at Des 3Ioines. DKS MOINKS, la., March 22. The Interstate silver convention closed this evening. During the day President Johnson, of the Bimetallic League of Kansas, was the first speaker. Among the radical statements that he made, and which was loudly applauded, was that G rover Cleveland is a greater traitor to our government than was Jefferson Davis. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, made a brief address, In which he said: "The demonetization of silver was a colossal crime the greatest ever perpetrated against the human family. It is demoniac." Mr. Donnelly said he wished the Lord would Interfere more frequently with tho schemes of men. With a few well-selected thunderlol.s he thought some good could be done In Washington. Humanity stands to-day with a lot of infernal bankers on Its neck. These bankers were the lineal descendants of those Christ had driven out of the temple. They were usine: means which must eventually serve to destroy liberty in this country. The founders oJ the government would blush if they could see the present state of affair, and if they could appear they would go at once for their uniforms and muskets. He urged all to proceed on constitutional lines. The two old parties were responsible for the fearful condition of the country. lie warr.ed the people not to trust all who cry 'T.ee silver." There were tratltors in the ranks. We should never trust the man who has once put the knife Into us. BIG FIRE AT DENVER. Quarter of a Square of Rnildinffsliurned Loss, 175,000.

WT HANG TO-DAY

Patrick Eugene Frendergast Granted a New Lease of Life. Date of Execution Postponed to Friday, April 6, by Jndgre Chetlaiu of the State Court. SANITY QUESTION RAISED The Assassin Said to Have Lost His Season Since Conviction. Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied by Federal Judxres and a Respite Refused by the Acting: Governor. CHICAGO, March 22. "Buff Higgins, who didn't want to die on the same scaffold with assassin Prendergast, will be hanged alone to-morrow. At 10:30 to-night Judge Chetlaln postponed the date of Prendergasfs execution until Friday, April 6. This morning the federal Judges refused to grant the assassin a writ of habeas corpus, and the acting Governor this evening refused to grant him a respite, yet the murderer of Mayor Harrison will not hang to-morrow. When the federal Judges announced that they would not grant the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, the assassin's attorneys renewed -their efforts by raising the question of their client's sanity. The point raised was that Prendergast had become insane since the trial. So they applied to Judge Chetlaln, and he consented to hear arguments to show that he could J not properly take up the matter. It was nearly 10:30 to-night before the attorneys concluded their arguments. Judge Chetlaln then announced his decision extending the time of the execution of the sentence two weeks, to April 6, and setting the commencement of the trial of the question as to the prisoner's canity on Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock. Said the Judge: "The case as it now stands Is as follows: The State has appeared and declared Itself ready to proceed. It has conceded to the defendant the riffht to a trial. The court required the defense to introduce further evidence to make a prima facie case, raising a reasonable doubt as to the sanitv of the prisoner. The question is not one of the guilt of the prisoner, but whether he, between the time of the judgment of the court and the execution of his sentence, has become insane. The court has the power to empanel a Jury and try this case. It Is now nearly midnight and upparent to counsel on both sides that the trial could not be conducted before the time appointed for the execution. Shall the court be left jowerless to prolong the time of the execution of the sentence? From the authorities I am satisfied that the court has that inherent power. Now, ha3 good cause been shown why the time of the execution should be prolonged? Two witnesses say that he has become insano since the judgment of court. One testified to a change in hi3 manner and less coherence in his language, indicating insanity. Another witness, at first believing that defendant had control of his action, has, since the judgment of the court, become convinced that the defandant has no control over his actions, but Is entirely irresponsible and Insane. The question ought t ' submitted to a Jury and Investigation be made quietly and duly. It would be inconsistent with humanity and justice to compel a trial at midnight. For the foregoing reasons the court will prolong the execution of Patrick Eugene Prendergast." A "WRIT DENIED. Federal Judge Refused to Extend Aid to tlie AmmiibmIii. CHICAGO, March 22. The federal Judges to-day denied their aid to Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Harrison. When the United States Court of Appeals opened Judges Jenkins, Woods and Baker were on the bench. They announced that the petition of Prendergast's attorneys for a writ of habeas corpus was refusd. The reason given was that the application disclosed tho same grounds for relief that had been presented to the Illinois Supreme Court. An exception to the decision of the court was taken by the defendant's attorneys, whereby they reserved the right to take an, appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The decision of tlie court was read by Judge Jenkins. It representsd, however, the opinion of Judges Woods, Seaman and Bunn as well. Judge Baker did not participate In the 'decision, as he was not present when the arguments were made by attorney Gregory last night. Judge Jenkins spoke quietly and deliberately, saying: The defendant alleges that In his conviction for murder by the State court there wcro certain errors. First, that the right to appear and testify In his own behalf was denied: second, that a Judge of the Criminal Court was allowed to testify to the appearance and bearing oil the delendant before him touching his mental condition; third, that the jurors trying the case were separated contrary to the order of the court; fourth, that the court, in his charge to the jury, withdraw from their consideration the question as to whether the petitioner had killed the person as alleged in the indictment, stating that this was conceded by the defense, and charging them to consider only the question of his sanity. We are of the opinion," continued Judge Jenkins, glancing at the paper containing the argument of attorney Gregory, to which he had b?en referring, "that the petition for the writ of habeas corpus must show that the court was without jurisdiction of the person and the subject matter in the case, or that the court being competent to render a decision was in excess of his jurisdiction. This cannot be a writ of eror. The objections, however availing they might be in a writ of error, do not concern the question of such jurisdiction, and are not availing here upon application for a writ of error. The application for a writ of habeas corpus is therefore overruled." XO REPRIEVE. Acting Governor C.ill Decide Xot to Interfere in the Cnae. SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 22. After the refusal of the Supreme Court, yesterday, to grant a stay to Patrick Eugene Prendergast, sentenced to hang at Chicago tomorrow for the murder of Mayor barter Harrison, the attorneys for Pren Jersast decided to appeal to Governor Altgeld. Last evening Clarence S. Darrow telegraphed the Governor at Blloxl, Miss., asking 1dm to grant a respite. Governor Altgeld tclegruphed Darrow that "he declined to Interfere with the duties belonging to the Lieutenant Governor of Illinois." A petition for a respite was then drawn up by Mr. Darrow and he secured the names of nine Circuit judges of Cook county to it. The petitioners state they are moved to make the request on account of doubt existing as to Prendergast's Fanity, and in order that fuller Investigation and consideration of the case might be had. Lieutenant Governor Gill was telegraphed to at Murphysboro, and answered he would hear tha case to-day. He arrived in this .My at mon. but at Mr. Darrow's request the hearing was postponed to 3 p. ni., in crdr that Richard Wade, another atto-vwy fcr Prendergast, mifcht be present. Darrow end?avored to secure a heating with closed doors, but the Gove'por declined. Darrow presented the pecition ir,d argued that Prendergast Is now insan ami was at the time he killed Harrison, and that It would be a disgrace to the State t.i haiiR an insane man. He offered no a I lltlo.ial evidence. He also pleaded that Pi end "r8 :;LSt objected to being handed on Good Ftlay. and on that ground aio!i ckmencv Fhould be shown. Hi asked that a strty cf execution be granted until the Lieutenant Governor or Governor could fully examine the records and evidence in th' case. Wade failed to arrive at 4 t. m., and Governor Gill Dostncned fuxtficr hewing till tf p. in.

At that hour he heard the arguments of counsel and examined the petition tor a reprieve, but decided not to Interfere w.'th the execution. m Mrs. Duffy Boylan. of Chicago, wife of the court stenographer who reported the trial, was introduced this evening, and sai-i she had setn Prendergast during the trial and afterwards, and was convinced that he was insane. Mr. Darrow then made another speech, claiming that Prendergast was insane now. He was followed by Mr. Wade. At the conclusion of their addresses Lieutenant-Governor Gill announced, as stated above, that he could prant no reprieve. He said that Prendergast had been tried by a jury of his peers fairly, and had been convicted, and that they had adjudged him sane; that an eminent Judge had sentenced him to be handed, and that both the Supreme and federal courts bad declined to interfere in the matter. As the executive of the State, he did not feel that he could Interfere in a case where all the courts had refused to do so. and he did not consider it in his scope of authorP; to rehear the case. MOORE AND CREED0X MATCHED.

Will Fight at Minneapolis Next Mouth-. Challenge from Fitzsiramons. CHICAGO, March 22. Articles of agreement were signed to-night binding Dick Moore and Dan Creedon to box twenty rounds before the Twin City Athletic Club of Minneapolis on the night of April 27. The match was made last Monday, but deflnlte arrangements were completed and forfeits put up to-night. Col. John Hopkins, backer of Creedon. said to-night regarding the offer of Bob Fltzslmmons to fight Creedon for a purse of $5,000: "When I was in Jacksonville at the time of the Corbstt-Mitchell lUht, I Ierfected arrangements for a J12,- purse tor Creedon and Fltzslmmons to fight on the Cth of March. When I returned to New York, exacting Fltzsimmons to sign the articles, he refused to do so. saying he must have a purse of fl5.fA and Ik? guaranteed protection. Creedon did no work for six months, waiting for a chance to fight Fitzsimmons, nnd now that he Is matched with Moore, Fltzslmmons comes out with a challenge to fight Creedon for JT..IM). This does not look to me to be consistent, and I am not doing business with Fitzsimmons, and do not propose to, as I do not think he wants to fight Creedon. or ever did mean to fisht him. I gave Fitzsimmons ever' chance, but do not think he acted in a square mannen Dixon Knocked Down. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 22.-The "friendly bout" to-night at Industrial Hall, for the benefit of the poor, between George Dixon, featherweight champion, and Walter Edgerton, of Philadelphia, proved to be anything but friendly. In the second round the old enmity which exists between the two men cropped out. They rushed each other all over the ring for a minute. Then EdKerton swung his big right glove on George's neck. Dixon went down like a log, his head striking the lloor a hard blow, which probably stunned him. Referee Cole picked him up and sat him on the chair in his corner. It was just one minute and ten seconds before Dixon realized what had happened. The bout lasted one and a half minutes. Dixon, by careful handling, was able to go on, and finished the schedule of three rounds. Tom O'Rourke said that it was the first time Dixon had ever been knocked down. VOLUNTEERS DEFRAUDED. Two Men Charged with Cheating Ohio Soldiers and Their Dependents. DELAWARE, O., March 22. A great fraud was exposed to-day involving' James Cooley, of York, Union county, and W. S. Winters, of Rlchwood, Union county. Its origin dates back to the call for 500,000 men In 1SC3. Delaware's quota was to receive a bounty of $10) each. The full amount of this Indebtedness could not be met at that time, but a payment of $23 was made, nnd the remaining $73 was given in script. These men collected this script all over the county and had almost SIS.OoO of it cashed by the county commissioners, but paid none of those who signed the same over to them. Mrs. SIgfried saw Infirmary Director More, who is often at the courthouse. She said she greatly needed her bounty money. More found they had collected her $201, Winters receipting for It. Winters refunded $201 to More promptly and then seventyeight counts were found against them. Cooley escaped with all his collections. Winters Is settling for 50 cents on the dollar, that being his part, having paid out $1,200 to-day. GOVERNOR HOGG WARNED. Will Re Held Responsible for Murder if He Allows a Wholesale Lynching. CHICAGO, March 22. The following telegram has been sent to Governor Hogg, of Texas, by the newly organized colored Antl-lynching League: "Tlie anti-lynchlng league protests against the contemplated lynching of sixteen men at Matagorda, in your State. If you take no action to protect them we will hold you resionsible for their murder." The olllcers of the league say that If the men are lynched they will make a test case and bring pressure to bear that will cause Congress to appoint an investigating committee. The formation of the league by the colored people has aroused considerable interest among the white people f this city. The Women's Christian Temperance Union of Chicago and President Gunsaulus, of the Armour Institute, will, it is stated, endeavor to form a Caucasian Antl-lynching League. The original league was fonn d by the colored people recently with the object of exerting influence looking to the suppression of the frequent lynching of colored men. A platform was adopted and Fred Douglass elected president. DID HE HYPNOTIZE HER? Lawyer Willbanks Induces His Wife to Desert the Dakota Divorce Colony. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 22.

The President Indorses tho Wilson Tariff Bill as Amended. He Urges that It Be Promptly Passed, with Its Gifts to the Trusts and Its Income- Tax Feature. MR. MORGAN'S NOVEL PLAN He Proposes to Turn Tariff Revision Over to a Commission. Great Britain in No Hurry toPass Proper Laws for the Enforcement of the Dering Sea Agreement, WASHINGTON. March 22. The Democratic members of the Senate finance committee have been assured of the President's co-operation in having the tariff bill become a law, as he has expressed his approval of the bill as a whole. In the course of a conversation with a member of the committee Mr. Cleveland referred to the bill and took occasion to say that he hoped It wouM pass and that there might be as little delay as possible in getting it through the Senate. He spoke of the condition of the country, which was such as to render it important that the agitation of the tariff subject should be terminated at the earliest possible moment. There had been pome apprehension as to the way in which th President might regard the Income tax in the shape agreed upon and also the sugar duty, but he is said to have spoken not in an unfriendly way, in the interview mentioned, of these two items, not so much with reference to the principles involved In the provisions, as of the fact that they would assure a sutficlent revenue for the necessities of the government. The friends of the Senate bill are encouraged to believe that the President's position with reference to the bill as now prepared will strengthen it materially in the House. Senator Morgan to-day expressed an intention to press his proposed amendment to the tariff bill providing for the appointment of a tariff commission. He said: "The purpose of the amendment is to provide for changes of the tariff upon equitable basis without the disturbance in business which is always the result of an effort to make a complete revision. If the matter should be placed in the hands of a commission, as is proposed by the amendment, charges could be made to suit the condition of The treasury or of any special industry and they would be so gradual, if made in accordance with the provisions of the amendment, as not to create the least disturbance." Tha Senator cited authorities to show that th5 amendment would be constitutional, and instanced the fact that Senator Cullom had also presented a proposed amendment at L similar purport as his own, as an lndlca(nn Vtn 4Ua a ...ill 41 - a . iiiu-t. lue uiiiemiiiieiii wu una support In the Senate.' The proposed commission U to consist of four members, besides the Secretary of the Treasury, two of whom are to reside east and two west of the Mississippi, and no more than three of them are to be members of any one party. It is made the duty of the board to make inquiry as to the rates of duties imposed upon any artlclo imported Into the United States and to ascertain and determine whether the rates are greater or less than is Justly necessary or proper for the raising of revenue, and their decision Is to be reported to the President, who. If he approves it. Is required to Issue a proclamation stating the decision of the board, giving the increase or decrease and requiring customs oiHcers to assess and collect duties upon the articles mentioned In accordance with the decision of the board. The plan is to take tariff revision entirely out of the hands of Congress and leave it to the proposed board and the President. A Viewed Abroad. LONDON, March 22.-The Times, to-day prints a leading editorial on American politics. The particular occasion for this review is a dispatch from the Times correspondent at Philadelphia, during which the latter says: "The wave of enthusiasm which elected President Cleveland has ebled so fast, owing to a universal revulsion of sentirrfent against the Incompetence an4 mismanagement of the Democratic leaders that, were the elections to occur now. the Republicans would win a signal victory. President Cleveland is less blamable than the victim of circumstances beyond his control." In the course of the editorial the Times says: "If the Americans have renson to apprehend a worse istate of affairs from the continuance of the Democrats in power than they experienced under the Rnublicans the situation must be gloomy. Indeed. We think, however, that it Is rather he intolerance and deplorable vacillation of the Democrats in dealing with the tariff and similar questions thon the belief thr.t ths Republicans would do better than before. Americans know how to accept a dead loss, to write off bad dfbts, to start afresh. What they cannot tobrate is the prevalence of the uncertainty which obstructs the revival of trade." iu:iii(. sua matti:us. llrltiiin Alleged to lie Either Derelict or AtiriT I nf.iirl. WASHINGTON, March 22.-Sccretary Gresham was before the House committee on foreign affairs to-day concerning the status of Bering sea affairs. There wer9 brought out important developments as to the manner In which her Majesty's government was executing the award of the PerIng sea court cf arbitration. The strictest injunction was put on members of the committee to refrain from discussing the Secretary's statement. Later in the day, however, on Mr. Gresham's return to the Stats Department, the general points In the hearing were mad? known. Secretary Gresham spoke for an hour and explained the situation fully. It appears that, by the terms of the treaty of arbitration. Great P.ritaln ml the United States bound themselves to abide by the deciblon of the court of arbitration. It has been contended that this treaty obligation was so binding that no law of Congress or of Parliament was needed to carry' out the decree of the court. Senator Morgan, of ths arbitrators, has taken the ground that the decision In Itself was part of the organic law In both countries, based on the original treaty which has the same blndinj effect as a state law. Secretary Gresham deemed it wise, however, to have Congress pass a law carrying out the court's decision, and the measure was drafted and submitted to Congress. Rut the Secretary express! surprise that Great P.ritaln has, as yet, presented no such legislation so far a;- was ofiielally known. There have been unofficial statement In California and elsewhere as to tlie pruised bill to be presented to the Prltish Parliament. These disclose that the proper Hrlt ish legislation frills considerably short ot executing Great Rritaln's part In the award. It Is iointed out that the proposed Prltish bill Kives Prltish naval officers discretion In executing the restrictive regulations, whereas the court made these regulations Imperative. The peculiarities ot the Prltish measure are alsu sail to !' short of tha recommendations of the court of arbitration. Secretary Gresham expressed ns grave concern over the condition. On (hu contrary, it was blievd that. In due tim both governments would arrive at an understanding. The House committee took no action, on the bill submitted by the Stat?? IVpmnvr.t to execute this country's part In the arbitration decree. There appear to te no objection to the bill and It can be reported at any time. Put the entire subject waa allowed to go ovr for a week. The Intimation 13 inada UuL la tha xueaatlme, Umb&j
