' "Kipling is doing Washington very seriously ana critically," said a friend of the writer to me a day or two ago. "He has the faculty of remembering what he sees and hears,' and is going to tear us all to pieces in his new book, the scene of which will revolve around the idome and subbasement of the Capitol." So mote It be, as Uncle Remus would remark. I saw Cowhard Kipling in Washington a few days ago. He had just succeeded in dodging three newspaper men, and was correspondingly prcud of himself. A State Department official supplied him with means of seeing everything there was to see in the great public buildings. I do not believe any living American has explored the Capitol foundations half so thoroughly as Kipling. He passed considerable time in th-s model room under the dome, and used the key to the undercroft himself in gaining access to the vault under the crypt, designed for the sarcophagus containing the remains of Washington. Another thing he did which few Americans have done. He crawled over the roof of the Supreme Court room. Kipling is industrious. He is short and thickset, quick and active. I saw him try three horses one morning In front of the Arlington before finding one to suit him, then gallop off toward the soldiers home at a livelv pace. .The hardest work he has had in Washington has been to remain undiscovered. A Texas Law Knocked Out. GALEVSTON. Tex., April 11 The decision of the Supreme Court of the State, in the case of Higgins vs. Bordagos has had the effect of practically putting a stop to over a million dollars' worth of public improvement already in progress besides affecting the payment of fully as much and probably more for work completed. The case involved the question of the power of a nn ini final rornora Hon to construct pave ments and sidewalks, and assess abutting J property, the homesteads oi me owners, for a pro rata share of the cost. The decision reverses a former ruling that abutting property, even though a homestead, could be subjected to a lien to enforce payment for such Improvements. The decision will paralyze improvement of streets and sidewalks in nearly all the cities of Texas. New Gold Field In Montana. HARLEM, Mont.. April 11. For a year past miners have been at work in the Little Rockies, southeast of this place, with results most satisfactory, as is evidenced by recent shipments of over $50,000 of free milling gold ore to Great Falls for treatment. Mines on the belts.or mineral zones have been opened up the Gold Bug and Hawkeye each series yielding rock bearing gold and silver, assays running as high as forty dollars a ton in gold.

SENT BACK TO PRISON I

OSCAR WILDE AXD ALFRED TAYLOR REMANDED FOR ANOTHER WEEK. Additional Evidence Against the Prisoners Submitted In the BowStreet Police Court. LONDON. April IL Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor are still in jail. After the examination to-day they were remanded to prison for another week without bail. Great crowds of people were gathered outside and inside the Bow-street Police Court when Wilde and Taylor were brought from prison at an early hour in a "black maria" in order to be examined on the charge of having committed serious misdemeanors. The court opened at 11 o'clock, with both prisoners in the dock. Wilde looked haggard and worn, and it was noticed that he has greatly changed since he appeared on the witness stand of the old Bailey to prosecute his suit for libel against the Marquis of Queensberry, the collapse of which action in such an unexpected and sensational a manner led to his arrest and the subsequent disclosures. Wilde to-day was much more subdued, although he smiled once or twice at certain questions which were put to him. But he seemed to realize the gravity of the situation in which he found himself. He was dressedas faultelessly as ever, carrying a silk hat in his hand and displaying on his ungloved fingers sparkling gems, Taylor, the man who is charged with having acted as procurer for the author and dramatist, behaved in the same sneeringly indifferent manner as when arrraigned last week, and waa evidently not as deeply impressed with the seriousness of the charges brought against him as was Wilde. Sir Edward Clarke again appeared for Wilde, and two lawyers acted as counsel for Taylor. The prisoners are evidently making a desperate tight. Their lawyers today delayed the proceedings in every possible way, and the examination of the accused promises to be a protracted affair. Taylor's lawyers said that he would recall all of the witnesses who were examined on Saturday last, as Taylor was not represented by counsel on that occasion. Charles Parker, the nineteen-year-old witness, who was examined on Saturday last, was again placed in the witness box to-day. He was subjected to cross-examination by Sir Edward Clarke, but his testimony was not shaken. The other witnesses of Saturday were not present In court, but by consent of counsel for the prosecution, who promised to produce them later on, the proceedings were continued, and Mr. C. F. Gill, who acted as prosecutor for the Treasury Department, and who. Incidentally, was Mr. Edward M. Carson's junior counsel in the defense of the Marquis of Queensberry, placed on the stand a man named Fred Atkins, twenty years of age, and described as a variety singer. Atkins, In reply to questions put to him by Mr. Gill, said that Wilde took , him to Paris in 189J. Further testimony furnished by the same witness was similar to that given by young men and boys who have been previously examined in this extraordinary case. He added that W ilde gave him a silver cigarette case and money. Asked if he did any writing for Wilde, witness replied: "Yes, I wrote something about 'A Woman of No Importance.' " The other witnesses to-day were Edward Shelly, a boy, - who claimed to be one of Wilde's victims, several disreputable lodging-house keepers from Chelsea, the district in London in which Wilde's home is situated, and a number of servants. The proprietor of the Hotel Albemarle was also examined, and he testified as to how he became suspicious of Wilde, and finally issued a writ for a week's bill in order to prevent him from returning to that establishment. After the police had presented evidence concerning the arrests Wilde and Taylor were remanded for a week, bail being refused. .Miss Wlllard Defends Lady Somerset. LONDON, April 11. Charges made by Mr. Hicks, of Chicago, recently, that Lady Henry Somerset rented .her property here to liquor dealers and that her tenements were allowed to remain in a disgracefully unhealthy condition, have caused much indignation among Lady Henry Somerset's friends. Miss Frances Wlllard says: "As soon as Lady Somerset had left the United States Kld statements concerning her saloons, her slums, her parks, etc., were revived. In England, none of the criticisms would be received for a moment. When she came into her property, most of it was under ninety-nine year leases with which she "could no more interfere than an outsider. A few licenses of public houses on her estate have run out and in every instance she has declined to renew them. Lady Henry Somerset's record is perfectly clear and the men who are trying to injure her are undoubtedly in the employ of the liquor traffic. As for Mr. Hicks, I never heard of him, much less worked with him, as the liquor papers say I did." Bismarck's Advice to Germans. FRIEDRICHSRUHE, April 11. Prince Bismarck, replying to a deputation representing the Germans in Odessa, to-day, begged his hearers to foster the political friendship which, he insisted, was so necessary to both Germany and Russia, adding: "Russia Is certainly a batter reighbor than many another." The Prince concluded with saying: "Continue to be gcod Germans and do nothing to prejudice the friendship of Russia." The Prince yesterday received the directors of the Northern German Lloyd Steamship Company, who presented him with a model of one of their ships. Prince Bismarck, replying to the remarks of the spokesman of the visitors referred to the important part played by the merchant vessels of Bremen in the birth and development of Germany and in conclusion said: "May God bless and protect the shipping of the Hanseatic cities." Stevenson's Memory Vindicated. SAN FRANCISCO, April ll.-Advices from Samoa dated March 27 say there are many rumors of war. The general belief Is that when the wet season ends the rebels will move. Old King Malietoa seems to be losing force and influence. The Supreme Court has just-finished the trial of one Taylor, charged with having libeled and slandered the late Robert Louis Stevenson by stating that Stevenson has been' concerned in supplying the rebel natives with a large quantity of guns and ammunition. Taylor was sentenced to three months' Imprisonment. Justice Ide stated that the memory of Stevenson had been completely vindicated. Disastrous Floods In Hunsrnry. LONDON, April 11.

Highest of all ia Leavening Power. Latest U. S. CoTt Report

A STOUT FIGHTER. II. Clay Evnns's Campaign Aajainst Tennessee's C'orruptlonists. A. W. Tourgee, in the Basis. The best fight ever made in the United Siates for "a free ballot and a fair count" is that which Hon. H. Clay Evans is making for the governorship of Tennessee. In spite of all that could be done to prevent the count would show a clear majority for Mr. Evans. Thereupon the Democratic majority in the Legislature proceeded to enact a law, professedly to determine a contest between the hold-over Governor Turney and the man whom the face of the returns showed to have been elected. In order to accomplish this, it provided for a new tribunal and adopted rules and methods at war with all legal analogy and clearly Intended to enable Turney to hold the office through the use of the machinery of the State government. Mr. Evans has met this outrageous and unconstitutional usurpation of power with a courage, adroitness and tactful determination which have clearly made him a man of national importance. Not content with a mere protest against the unconstitutional character of the investigation, he has met his opponents at every step, quiet, watchful, dignified in word and bearing; never yielding an inch of ground, however hopeless the fight has seemed, and forcing even a onesided investigation to uncover not only the groundlessness of the claims of his opponent, but the rottenness of the administration and the legislative faction who have lent themselves to this conspiracy against the popular will. Turney claims that In certain counties which gave majorities for Evans the pollholders did not require the voters either to produce their tax receipts or to "make affidavit in writing as to their loss." In his secret circular to his agents he tells -them not to give any . consideration to the question whether the taxes were paid or not i that he says is immaterial, but only to get evidence to show whether the receipts were required or not. There is no charge of - fraud against the Republicans, but only that this formality was omitted. In reply to this Governor Evans for when the returns showing that he had a majority of the votes were published, he went before a magistrate and quietly took the oath of office, as the law required Governor Evans not only alleges and avows his readiness to prove that the same con-, ditlons prevailed in the counties in which a majority was returned for Turney, but he carries the war into Africa by alleging and specifying the choicest lot of unique and brazen frauds upon the ballot intended to elect his opponent that were ever authoritatively and elaborately unveiled in any State. The following are some of the choicest bits of incontestable fraud set forth in Mr. Evans's plea. after he had .. protested against the entire proceedings. At one of the precincts the officers of election, all Democrats, shut themselves in a closed room and required the voters to offer their ballots through a window seven feet from the ground, which was only opened six inches, so that no one could see what occurred within. This is what went on outside: "J. O. Herring. W. J. Rose, J. A. Glick.; John F. QuicK, .1 A Holmes and others, all white, took a position very near the window for the purpose of counting the votes as they were cat. Herring sat down and arranged things so that heJ could keep a tally-sheet of the voters. The other four gentlemen stod around him to act as witnesses. ' Wjien a Republican voter came up he would t rst give his ticket and a polltax receipt to Herring for his inspection, and tho five gentlemen named would examine them. Herring would place the polltax receipt under the ballot and request the elector to vote it open, so all the gentlemen could so the same ballot was handed in. As soon as the voter had handed in his "ballot and some one on the inside had anuiied "voted," Herring would record the elector's name on his tallysheet in rh presence of his four companions. This method of procedure was kept up rntil about 3 o'clock In the afternoon, whp Herring left. Up to that time ninety-eight votes had been cast for contestee Evan?. After Herring left W. J. Rose tk lis place, and on another sheet record I bi names of the four electors, wh.v-. j for Evans, thus making the total ' vi'ttv for Evans 102. The total vote cast ' ter-i -was 175. It is positively known that toat.i.3te Evans received 102 of these : votes nol Mims three. As" fraudulently cou-.uec' the vote stands: "Turney, 168; E'-ans, .7;. Mims, 0." In ai fi'Jt.r precinct the election was held "in a Vooil; on wheels," made for this express propose. This was "divided into compartments, thu judges and clerks being separated .from the receiving officer by a partition., and the judges from the clerks by another partition. The receiving officer stood at a little door, four feet by eighteen inches, at tho rear of the wagon, which was the only opening in the booth the ballot-box behind him. After receiving a ballot he wouid turn around In this door, completely hiding the ballot-box and his own acts from the voters." It is not strange that in this precinct sixty-eight votes were fraudulently counted for Turney. which were actually cast for the Populist condidate. Mr. Evans humorously suggests that this unique device should be patented for the fbeneflt of the Turney crowd, of ballot thieves. . When it is remembered that It is a single man, with only volunteer associates and assistance, 'who is giving time, and money, and brain to carry out this unexampled fight against the whole State administration and a majority in the Legislaturea fight which contests the vote of every county in the State, save one we realize something of the magnitude of the task Mr. Evans has undertaken. It is oleasant to note the fact that the entire Populist party of the State, as well as the united Republican strength, is behind him: and the tactful character of his protest and conflict is attested by a tribute never before given in any State to a contestant of opposite politics, viz.: A very large proportion of the Democratic press denounce the attempted steal, and thousands of Democratic citizens signed protests against the course adopted by a purblind partisan majority in the Legislature. Whatever may 'be the outcome of this contest, the cause of an honest ballot and a fair, count will be greatly strengthened, not only in the State of Tennessee, but throughout the whole country. It is a page of history which the American people are sure to scan with indignation. On it is written one bright name, that of H. Clay Evans, who has shown and is now showing in this conflict qualities which give promise of much greater things. FIELD OF APPOMATTOX. Historic Ground AVhlcU Shonld Be the Property of the Nation. Richmond (Va.) Star. The United States government Is engaged to some extent in buying battlefields of the late war to convert into national parks. As yet, however, we have observed no disposition on its part to purchase any field on which its troops met with defeat. Perhaps it may do this later on. If so, we know several fields in Virginia worthy of the government's attention fields where there were large numbers of men engaged where the losses were very heavy, and where great valor and strategy were displayed. Among these are Manasses, Cold Harbor. Fredericksburg, Chancellorsvllle, The Wilderness, etc. We have doubts, however, whether the Grand Army of the Republic, in which most of these schemes originate, will ever urge the purchase of any of these battlefields. But there is a field in Virginia where they won the conclusive triumoh of the war. and which, from that standpoint even, might well be acquired for a national park. That field is Appomattox. We believe that Northern and Southern sentiment boih would commend a movement for the purchase of it by the Upited States government. . In the discussion which has taken dace concerning the change of the name of Appomattox to Surrender, we see very clearly that Appomattox holds a high place in the estimation of all the people of the land. Notwithstanding the fact that the army of Ie there surrendered to the army of Grant. ex-Confederates think of Appomattox without shame. Indeed, every man who fought throughout the war and furrendered at Appomattox is proud of that fact proud that he was amontc the last to lay down his arms: proud that he was present to bid a personal farewell to Lee and to stand In ranks and hear Lee's never-to-be-forgotten farewell address. A Northern syndicate now owns the historic field, and some work has been done there In marking spots made most memorable by the meeting of the two armies In April, 1S85. It is only a little more than two miles from a railroad station now the county seat), and if a fine government road were built between the station and j the field, and the field were put in a parklike condition, hundreds and thousands of rtrangers passing through that section would stop to see It; stop to learn something of their country's history. We know none of the owners of the propj erty; we are ignorant of their names even; i we do not speak of their names even; I we do not speak tn their interest, but in

n .o

the interest of the American public, which has been,- shocked by the spectacle of a high officer of the government availing himself of technicalities to continue a wrong, to defend a palpable blunder In extinguishing the name of the field. Besides, as we say, Appomattox is a field which will live in history. It will be written of when the names of most other fields have been forgotten. It is dear to the recollection of all those who mustered there, whether under Lee or Grant. The Confederate who possesses a parole issued at Appomattox has a thing which he wants handed down to bis latest posterity. And the federal soldiers hold Appomattox as dear. There, indeed, were the very noblest qualities of both armies manifested. Yes, we say that if the government is to 'make any further purchases of fields, let it consider the claims of Appomattox, and by so doing It will secure a national park which will be worth having and perpetuate the name in associating the spot to which It truly belongs. : - IOWA'S LIQlOfi LAWS, They Are In n Shape That Would Meet the Views of Sulry Goutp. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The troublesome prohibition question was settled by the Iowa Legislature a year ago according to an original and ingenious theory. In deference to the sentiment in favor of prohibition, the law forbidding the sale of liquors was left in force, and another law was passed which authorized the authorities of cities and towns where a majority of the voters so petitioned to impose a tax of $600 and upward on saloons, the payment of which should act as a bar to prosecutions under the prohibitory law. Thus the matter was so arranged that in, communities where the preponderance of sentiment was in favor -of satoons, they could be allowed, while In communities where they were not desired they could be prevented. In other words, the local option, system was established by an indirect method, and the' people of the different cities and towns were left practically free to decide the question of the liquor traffic for themselves. The expedient was open to criticism on account of apparent double dealing, as well as because of certain lgal peculiarities which had never before beea known In legislation; and steps were at once taken to tet it in the courts. Contrary to general expectation among the lawyers, the Supreme Court of the State has rendered a " decision sustaining this novel plan of adjusting a difficult matter. Five of the six Judges hold that the mulct law, as it is called, is constitutional from every point of view, and that the Legislature had a perfect right to delegate to the people of each community "the power to permit or to forbid the sale of liquors. The prohibitory law stands, therefore, for the benefit of localities where saloons are no wanted, and, on the . other hand, the mulct law enables those localities which want saloons to have them. This looks to be inconsistent, but the Supreme Court says It Is not, and that settles It. There is one law which strictly prohibits the lhuor. traffic In the whole State, and another which says that the traffic may exist in such parts of the State as desire it, and that a tax may be imposed upon it in the nature of a penalty lor the violation of the prohibitory statute; but the highest "Judicial tribune of the State says there is nothing wrong in such an arrangement, and so the controversy is en-led. Iowa has demonstrated that It is possible to have prohibition and anti-prohibition at the same time and on harmonious ternis; and her people are placed in the agreeable position for which Mrs. Gamp longed when she said,. "Don't ask me whether 1 won't have none or whether I will, but Just leave the bottle on the chlmney-plere, and let me put my lips to it when I am so disposed." i IT IS DENIED BY LYMAN J. GAGE. He Is Quoted Without Truth la Coin's Flnunclat School." . New York Special. The Evening Post in an editorial reviewing what it terms "that mendacious pamphlet, "Coin's Financial school.' " says. "On page 2a oi' 'Coin's Financial School' the statement is made that Lyman J. Uage attended tne scond lecture at the Art Institute and asked the following question: 'How can you have at any lixed ratio tne same commercial value in two separate metals that are produced from time to time varying in the quantity of each produced? To this question, 'Coin' made an elaborate answer, at the end cf which Mr. Gage arose and said he was not satisfied that two metals could be kept at a parity by the United States alone, but that they might be by an international agreement. Then the colloquy proceeded thus: " 'Then. Mr. Gage.' said Coin, 'We agree, do we not, that the commercial value of silver and gold can be maintained at par on a fixed ratio at 15 to 1 to 16 to 1 if their free coinage is provided for by the same nations that had such a law in 1873? Tes,' said Mr. Gage, 'we agree thus far.' . "Learning that Mr. Gage was in this city yesterday the Evening Post addressed him a note asking him if he was correctly reported in that part of the pamphlet cajled Coin's Financial School,' which is embraced in pages 25 to 42 inclusive. This morning we received the following reply: " 'Holland House, New York, April 8, 1895 To the Editor of the Evening PostSir: In answer to your inquiry about "Coln'e Financial School," and my name as it ap?ears in a certain lecture described therein, beg to say that I never attended such a lecture, that I never asked such questions, or made any such answers as are there Bet forth. It is a fabrication from beginning to end. I have had many letters from all parts of the country inquiring whether or not I was correctly reported In the alleged discussion, all of which I have answered in the negative. It is time the truth was put on foot to overtake the lie. Truly yours, L. J. GAGE.' " Cuttinu; a- Swath In Rome. Boston Herald. Mrs. Potter Palmer has been cutting a wide swath in Rome this winter, and trying to rival Boston's Mrs. "Jack" by the gorgeousness of her entertainments in the Eternal city. At a very , elaborate dinner which she gave recently at her hotel, two footmen In a livery different from that worn by the crowd of lackeys serving the guests were an object of, much comment. The men stood on either side of the hostess, making themselves conspicuous, not merely bv the livery they wore, but by their immovable pose, as neither turned to the right nor to the left. When interviewed on the subject, the majordomo said the men wore Mrs. Palmer's livery, and the great lady always traveled with two suits of it, into which the landlord was expected to put two of his best domestics, especially detailed to her service.
