The liaelaloa In liar Caae Haa Been Tel
egraphed For.
Portland, Ob. United Stati Attor
ney Murphy baa telegraphed to Waah
Ington, 1). 0., for a copy of the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
BUtee In the case of the government
against the steamer Haytian Republic.
Until thia arrivea the effect of the dec!
aion cannot be definitely known. The
Question involved is one which haa never
. . . : . l . I . l '
Deen Drouglll up in vmo courts ui tins
vuintrv lH-fore. and the decision ia one
of great importance. The Haytian Re
public waa seliiea at neaiue ior smng
gllng opium, and waa released on bonds
being given in the aum of $30,000 or
thereabouts. On her arrival here aha
waa attain seized, the libel charging acta
of smuggling prior to those for which
aha waa libeled at Seattle. The owners
of the steamer demurred to thia lilwl,
and claimed that any acta commuted oy
the steamer previoua to her seiiure at
Seattle must have been Included or
mnnml in the libel placed on her there.
This view was sustained by the Court
here and by UieCircuit Uourt oi Appeals,
and the case was appealed to tiie su
preme Court of the United States, which.
as is now understood by government of
ficials here, decided that the steamer
could be libeled for any unlnwlul acts not
Included in the Seattle libel, whether
committed before or after. The acta for
which the steamer was libeled here were
committed before those for which she
was libeled at Seattle. Of course the
government will have to prove the facta
alleged aa to the smuggling acts com
mitted. ,
MOT WITIIIN TUB LAW.
Olvmpia. Wash. The Secretary of the
State Land Commission has been in
structed to notify the oillciala of the city
of Hoquiam that the harlior lines in
front of that city will be laid at the ear
liest date practicable. In reference to
the South Bend harbor lines the com
mission passed resolutions that after
hnarincr the statements of persona Inter
ested and of the citizens of South Bend
and upon examination of the United
rotates coast survey, eutie iiaroor iine
Commission maps and other hydro
graphic information and upon consider
ing the opinion of the Attorney-General
to the effect that the legislature did not
intend to require the harbor lines to be
established in all navigable waters in
front of Incorporated cities, but only in
such navigable waters aa are within a
harbor, estuary, bay or inlet, it is the
opinion of the board that the Willapa
river at South Bend is not such as was
contemplated by the Legislature. It waa
therefore ordered py tne ooara mat no
harbor lines be established at South
Bend. ' !

'small oranok crop.
Bai Francisco, Cal. The orange crop
of California this year is much below
what was expected at the opening of the
season, owing to the spell of frosty
weather two months ago. The total out
put from Southern California to date ac
cording to figures supplied by the South
ern Pacific Company is 3,000 carloads, of
which 3,100 carloads were for Eastern
points.
The aggregate for the season will prob
ably reach 4,000 carloads. This will be
20 per cent below the shipments of 1803.
The output for Northern California
will not exceed thirty carloads, the
f reater part of which never gets bevond
he State line. The proximity of San
Francisco and Sacramento to the north
ern citrus belt affords a home market
for the orange growers of that district.
Not only was the crop of oranges in
Southern California light, but the prices
realised were discouragingly low. .

RULING ON LIBEL CASES
New Trial Granted Because a
Retraction Wasn't Asked.
THE PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER
It Is Impossible, Says tba Judge, for a
Modem Dally to Verify Everything
That Haa to be Served the Fubllij
Hot From the Wires.
Chicago, III. Judge Dunne ha
granted the motion for a new trial in
the case of Juliette C. Smith of Toronto,
Ont., against the Chicago Herald Com
pany, delivering an important interpre
tation of the law of libel. The plaintiff
brought suit for damage for the publi
cation of a dispatch considered to reflect
on her character. A jury found for the
plaintiff for $15,000 damages. In grant
ing he new trial Judge Dunne said:
" The plaintiff had the protection of a
husband, an intelligent gentleman fully
cognizant no doubt of the circumstances
attending the publication of a newspa
per. He and she must have known that
news is gathered by such a paper from
multitudinous sources and from the
whole face of the earth and published
hot from the telegraph wires. That it is
absolutely imposible for this modern en
gine of information to do the work which
the times and the people expect and de
mand and at the same time to verify every
item and explore for possible falsity in
what seem true was information ' com
mon to the plaintiff, husband and all in
telligent persons." The proper course
for the plaintiff to pursue, the Court
said, was to Inform the publishers of the
falsity of the article and demand repa
ration and retraction ; but without ask
ing for a retraction suit was commenced
after a lapse of over two months. Con
tinuing, Judge Dunne said : " The mod
ern daily is at once the effect and instru
ment of progress. Its proprietors must
answer for wrong done, even without
express malice, but they are entitled to
fair treatment. When a newspaper is
led into publishing unknowingly an un
true statement concerning an individual
it should not only retract when the truth
is made known, but also compensate the
Injured party for injury already done;
but it is equally the duty of the person
thus injured to make known the truth,
demand retraction and lessen so far aa
possible the injurious consequences of
the libelous publication. If this be done
and the paper persists in repeating the
statement, or refuses ample retraction
and reparation, then it is time for the
vindictive lightning of the law to strike.
Here a party who claims to be injured
did nothing to stop the further circula
tion of the publication. The right to
redress is not the right to vengeance.
Courts are to stand between every indi
vidual and injustice, protecting the one,
preventing the other. It has been the
uninterrupted practice of courts to ex
amine with careful scrutiny verdicts the
principal element of which is vindictive
damages and to set aside or otherwise
control the same where they are mani
festly the result of unreasoning preju
dice, blind sympathy or wanton reck
lessness. j
IN FATOB Of THE TRUST,,
Fight Between the Natlenal Lead Com
pany and Naval Concern Knded.
Cincinnati, O. Judge Rufus B. Smith
gave judgment in a case that occupied
ten weeks and has been ' contested with
such bitterness that the Judge regarded
the testimony of one witness as not en
titled to belief, and that another had de
liberately committed perjury. It is
battle between the National Lead' Com
pany, known as the Lead Trust, and one
of the few independent companies not
included in the National Company. The
suit was brought in August, 1891, by the
Walker Paint Company against the An
chor White Lead Company and the Eck
stein White Lead Company for an in
junction restraining the defendants from
issuing circulars containing an analysis
of the plaintiff's paint product, showing
it ia adulterated with barylea. Fifty
thousand dollars damages was also
claimed. The defendant companies be
ing now in the National Lead Company,
it was the real defendant. The defense
waa that the statement of the analysis
of the plaintiff's product in 1800 and
1889 was true. The Court in an elabor
ate opinion found that the claim of the
defense was fully established, and dis
missed the case, dissolving the tempo
rary injunction.
SHE SATED KANT L1TES.
Little Girl Prwaented With the Medal of
. the Legion of Honor.
Indianapolis, Iwn. The medal pre
sented by the French government bear
ing the insignia oi the Legion of Honor
has been presented to Jennie Creek,
little ten-year-old girl of Alford, Black
ford county, for saving a trainload of
World's Fair passengers on the Panhan
dle railroad last summer. While walk
ing along the track she discovered that
the trestle across a deep ravine was on
fire, and the World's Fair express with
several hundred passengers on board was
nearly due. -With remarkable presence
of mind the little one tore off her red
flannel petticoat, ran down the track
until she came in sight of the approach
ing train and waved her skirt as a dan
ger signal. A number of French pas
sengers were aboard the train. They
called the attention of the French
World's Fair Commissioner to the inci
dent, and he in turn laid it before Presi
dent Carnot, who at once ordered a
medal of the Legion of Honor, which is
given only in recognition of acts of he
roism. .

NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS.
Mitchell ha had passed in the Senate
a resolution making inquiries aa to the
boundary line of the Klamath Indian
reservation, over which there is contro

Representative Raynor has presented
a resolution calling on the President to
make a demand upon the Russian gov
ernment that American citizens shall
have the right of entry, travel and so
journ in Russia that citizens of Russia
in the United States have according to
the treaty stipulations. - The resolution
grew out of the refusal of Russia to ad

Colonel Fred C. Ainsworth, chief of
records of the pension division, indicted
formanslaughteronaccountof the Ford's
theater disaster last June, in which more
than a score of government clerks were
killed, ia now free. Justice McComas of
the Criminal Court ordered the indict
ment quashed, because it did not show
the falling of the building wo due to
the personal neglect of Ainsworth.
Commissioner Lamoreaux of the Gen
eral Land Office has submitted to Secre
tary Smith a recommendation for au
thority to prepare a proclamation for
the signature of the President restoring
to mineral location and entry all the
mineral lands in the "Bohemia mining
district" within the limits of the Cascade
range and forest reserve in Oregon.
Hill asked unanimous consent in the
Senate to consider the joint resolution
parsed by the House giving the Secre
tary of War authority under the last
sundry civil-appropriation act to in
stitute condemnation proceedings to
secure lands near Gettysburg battlefield.
Judge Dallas, he explained, had held
the language of that act was not broad
enough to warrant condemnation pro
ceedings. Cockrell insisted that the
resolution should go to the Committee
on Military Affairs, and it was so re
ferred. The official report of the Naval Board
which conducted the recent trial of the
Columbia was submitted to Secretary
McAdoo. It makes it evident that the
Columbia is one of the finest vessels
afloat. On her way down the Delaware
she struck some drift logs, and as a re
sult several of her plates were dented.
The ship bos gone into the dock to per
mit of examination. Mr. McAdoo says
that Captain Sumner was free from
blame, as the vessel was in the hands of
a competent pilot and the damage was
trifling.
A. L. Randall, Chairman of the Inter
national Typographical Union Commit
tee on Government Ownership of Tele
graphs, has written a letter to Postmaster-General
Bissell, accusing him of
never having read the postal telegraph
bill, on which he recently reported ad
versely to Chairman Wise of the House
Committee on Commerce. Mr. Randall
says Mr. Bissell evidently took it for
granted the bill before him was the Wan
amaker bill of the Fifty-first Congress.
He then calls attention to the govern
ment ownership of telegraphs in other
countries, and asks : "Are not the peo
ple of this country as capable of con
ducting the government telegraph as
those of European nations?" This is
followed up with this threat: " The In
ternational Typographical Union has
inaugurated this movement. It will do
its utmost to defeat any man "found
working or voting against the great re
form, regardless of party affiliations."
Delegate Joseph has introduced a bill
for the irrigation of arid government
lands, which is of interest not only to
New Mexico, which he represents, but
to California and every other State where
there are arid lands. The bill provides
for the appointment of an irrigation
commission to consist of government en
gineers to saperviBe the work. The Sec
retary of the Interior is authorized to
have geological surveys made and maps
prepared for the use of the commission.
Three per cent bonds are to be issued to
pay the expense of the work. When
ever a sufficient amount of arid land has
been irrigated it is to be opened for set
tlement and sold to heads of families at
10 per cent above the actual cost of rec
lamation. The bill also provides for the
sale of timber on the public domain in
square quarter sections to the highest
cash bidder. Irrigation experts who
have examined this bill think it is the
best scheme yet proposed for the recla
mation of arid lands.
The Senate, Mills alone not voting,
has adopted a resolution declaring the
United States will not interfere with the
affairs of the Hawaiian Islands, and the
United States will regard interference
by any foreign power as an unfriendly
act- The resolution adopted was intro
duced by Turpie, and reads as follows:
"Resolved by the Senate of the United
States that it belongs wholly to the people
of the Hawaiian Islands to establish and
maintain their own form of government
and domestic policy; that the United
States ought not in any way to interfere
therewith, and the interference in the
political affairs of those islands by any
other government will be regarded as an
act unfriendly to the United States."
Mills of Texas explained that the resolu
tion did not meet his approval, although
he would not vote against it. Believing
this government has overthrown the ex
isting government of Hawaii, he thought
it the duty of the United States to tear
down the oligarchy set up in its name. -
The Senate Sugar Trust Investigating
Committee examined Senators Voorhees,
Jones and Vest of the Finance Commit
tee in regard to the allegations concern
ing the efforts of the Sugar Trust to in
fluence legislation. They made a general
denial of all the charges made of the ex
ercise of influence by the Sugar Trust,
and specifically contradicted the story
that Secretary Carlisle had made a secret
visit to the committee and demanded
that the sugar interests be protected be
cause of the Democratic party's indebt
edness to the Sugar Trust. They agreed
that Mr. Carlisle had never made such a
visit to the committee, and stated that
no such demand had ever been made
upon the committee for the reasons given
in Edwards' letter or any other account.
They also denied the report that a meet
ing had been held by the committee on
the Sunday before the tariff bill was re
ported for the consideration of the sugar
schedule, and said that, if the sugar
people had been together in any adjacent
room while the committee was in session
at any time, they were not cognizant of
the fact. Senator Vest denied that he
had informed Joe Rickey of the progress
of the committee in its consideration of
the suirar schedule while the bill was in
committee.

Paris. Ia Patrie has announced that
the notorious Turpin, whose name some
time ago came prominently before the
public in connection with the invention
of the explosive known as melenite, and
who was subsequently imprisoned, an
gered at the" refusal of France to pur
chase his latest invention, baa left the
country and sold to the powers compos
ing the dreibuad the secret of the man
ufacture of a terrible war machine. The
latter is said to comprise an explosive
and a new projectile, which, it ia claimed,
will completely transform the art of war
fare and the conditions under which it is
waged, rendering its possessors the mas
ters of Europe. Turpin yielded to the
personal urging of a foreign sovereign,
and has received several millions francs
on account. The statement that Turpin
has left the country and sold his inven
tion to the dreibund caused a sensation.'
M. Leberrisse announces his intention
to interpolate the government. M. Mer.

of this intention, and says be will not
object to meeting the question after he
has had a conference with his colleagues.
He admits that he refused to see M. Tur-
fiin and also declined to negotiate with
lim. He scouts the ?dea that Turpin'
new invention is an important one.

London. Rumors are circulated that
the Right Hon. Lord Coleridge, Lord
Chief Justice of England, has tendered
his resignation to Lord Rosebery. The
rumor also took the form that the emi
nent jurist had intimated to a member
of the Cabinet that he had reluctantly
arrived at the conclusion that his long
tenure of service to his country was prac
tically ended, and that he felt it incum
bent upon himself to announce that the
possibility of bis resuming a position on
the bench was very remote. At the Cole
ridge residence in Belgrave Square no
confirmation or denial of the report
could be obtained. It was admitted,
however, that lor nearly a monm past
