Berthon, Minister of Public Works,
sprung to his feet and shouted:
" Yon lie, and yon know you lie."
Jnures' reply was drowned in a tu
mult, which was stilled after five min

culls for the censuring of Juares, and
eventually Brisson, the President, re-
SnpKted him to retract his accusations,

NEW LAW FOR ALASKA.
Tllu Oregon Code I. Not Hullalile for I lie
Territory.
Wahmnoi.hn, December 20. (t is un
derstood that Congress will later in the
present session make an etl'urt to pro
vide a code of laws (or tbe government
of Alaska, which is to be submitted as
the result of the inspection made of the
Alaskan coun'ry last summer by Assist
ant Secretary Hamlin and Joseph W.
Murray, Inspector of Salmon Fisheries.
These gentlemen gave especial attention
to the seal fisheries, and will, of course,
dwell upon this feature, especially in
their report; hut they will also rec
ommend changes in the entire legal sys
tem of the seal islands and the mainland
as well, covering all the subjects con
nected with the government ot the Ter
ritory. The Oregon laws are at present
in force in Alaska, and have been since
the organization of the Territory. They
are in many instances illy adapted to
the local conditions prevailing in Alaska,
and even where they are fairly satisfac
tory the means of administering them
are so iricllieient as to iiave caused serious
complaint in the past on the part of the
people all'ectud. Hence, besides recom
mending lawe for the government of the
teal-catching and others looking to the
prevention and destruction of the salmon
interests, Messrs. Hamlin and Murray
will probably recommend timber laws,
new land, mining, litpior, customs and
school laws. There will also probably
be a recommendation that three or (our
judicial districts he created to take the
place of the present system, which Is
comprised in one district. The report
embodying their recommendations is
now in course of preparation, and will
be submitted to Congress as early in the
session after the holidays as possible
with the hope that there may be time
left for Congressional action. It is be
lieved the report w ill take stronggrounds
for fixing the next year's sealing catch
at a lower limit than that of last year.

ARGUED TO THE COURT
Oakland Water-Front Case
Still Being Heard.
DAVIS COSTISCES HIS AEG UH EXT
The Illghts of the Publle und Indlvlrt
uala in the Tidal Waters Discussed
by the Attorneys Cowan Kevlewl the
Opinion In the Chicago Case.
Washington, December 24. In the
Supreme Court to-day Mr. Davis, repre
senting the city of Oakland in the water
front case, continued his argument. He
was followed by John K. Cowan of Bal
timore, who appears for the Southern
Pacific Company. 'He confined himself
to a discussion of the power of the Leg
islature of California to grant the water
front. He reviewed the opinion of the
Supreme Court in the Chicago lake-front
case, and took ground that in that case
the court viewed the act of the Legisla
ture of Illinois as a dedication to the Il
linois Central of the government's con
trol and regulation of the waterB of Lake
Michigan along the city front of Chi
cago. He maintained that in the pres
ent case the grant by California was an
ordinary disposition of the State's sub
merged lands, made in the exercise of
the power to control public property and
rights. He claimed that the act of 1852,
making the grant, showed on its face
the exercise of legislative discretion and
the intention of tbe Legislature that
within the line of actual navigation pub
lic righ'S in tidal waters should yield to
the right of private ownership in order
that submerged lands within that line
might be developed by private capital
and enterprise. He said the line was
d istinctly drawn between waters in which
public rights are to remain unobstructed
and unimpaired and those waterB in
which private rights are to be exercised,
and that no regulation of public rights
is left to the discretion of private own
ers in this case as in the Chicago case.
Private rights acquired by this act of the
Legislature could not be extinguished
by subsequent legislation. Cowan de
clared the decision in the Chicago case
so (ar from supporting the claims oi the
State ot California in the present case
was authority for the railroad company.
BURNS HAS A PANACEA."
Socialism is HI Preventive or Wealth
and Poverty.
St. Louis, December 24. An hour
later than the advertised time John
Burns, member of Parliament, wa9 in
troduced to 4,000 people at the exposi
tion. The stage was decorated with
British and American flags, and a brass
band contributed the "Conquering
Hero." Mr. Burns spoke on " Trades
Unions and Social and Municipal Re'
form." The conditions in this country,
tie said, surprised him, and he saw the
beginning of great problems as to the
best means by which the social and in
dustrial interests of the prodncers could
be subserved. He urged unification of
trades unions in all social and political
questions. In citing some ot the causes
that had produced the great and grow
ing disparity between the rich and poor
he said: -
" Underconsumption, overproduction
and the salamanic Eeltishness of greedy
monopoly have produced the vagrants
and the Vanderbilts. The one is an
enormity and the other a monstrosity.
As the per-centage of the share of the
laborer in his product has decreased,
that of the capitalist has increased.
Just now the currency conjurors are
kicking up a dust to blind you to the
situation at the same time increasing
the great disparity."
As a remedy for this Mr. Burns sug
gested Socialism pure and simple. He
dealt out caustic criticisms on American
municioal government and thought So
cialism the panacea. Frequent and loud
applause greeted him. Mr. Burns will
remain here until to-morrow evening,
when he departs for Indianapolis.

His Home.

marck started irom Varzin this morning
for Friedrichsruhe. The ex-Chancelloi
is in good health. He reached his home

lic showed respect of his wish for privacy
and no crowds gathered at the stations
along his route. Although all demon
strations were thuB avoided during the
journey, the people oi Friedrichsruhe
were allowed to receive their neighbor
with the usual honors. The most con-
SDicious residents of the town and the
land-owners of the district had gathered
nt the station, the lire hi iiiade stood with
burning torches in front of the castle
and 300 persona awaited his coming a

wished to let him know how deeply they
sympathized with him in the loss of his

GOING TO BEHRING SEA.
The Revenue Gutter Perry Starts on Her
Long Journey.
New York, December 24. Tbe rev
enue cutter Perry, which was ordered to
the New York station about a year ago
to replace the Grant, sailed from this
port yesterday afternoon en route to San
Francisco, thence to Behring Sea. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham
lin recently returned from a trip to the
Behring Sea and as a result of his rec
ommendations, that the revenue inter
ests in that locality were insufficiently
protected, Secretary Carlisle assigned the
Perrv to dutv there. The departure of
the Perry practically deprives this sta
tion of one of its hest boats. Her place
will be taken bv the revenue cutter
Hamilton of Philadelphia, whose terri
tory will now extend from the Virginia
capes to Sandy Hook. The trip to San
Francisco will occupy about three
months, and the Perry will have trav
eled 15,000 miles when she will jave
reached there. The Perry is an iron
vessel, and ia brigantine rigged.
BISHOP MATZ' RESIGNATION.
It Ha Not Nor Will It be Accepted by
the Pope.
Denver, December 24. Word was re
ceived informally in the city this morn
ing from Washington that the resigna
tion of Bishop Mate, which was for
warded to Rome a month or eo ago, has
not been and will not be accepted by the
Pope. The announcement that Bishop
Mate had resigned from the see of Colo
rado was made November 10. It was
not wholly unexpected in Catholic cir
cles, for it was known that there was
more or less dissension among the prieBts
of his diocese. The firBt letter of resig
nation sent to Rome was unconditional,
but it was claimed that a second one was
forwarded later with a string attached.
The news from Washington comes from
a source that leaves little or no doubt as
to its being correct. The resignation of
Bishop Matz arrived in Rome three
weeks ago. and it is said that the action
of the Holy See was communicated to
Apostolic Delegate Satolli within the last
few days.

Mootlfnore Satolll Thinks Thnt Cede
the t'ironnntanoei He Should Not Say
Anything About the Hatter The Baa
Discussed at Different Points.
Vabhinqtos, December 22. Monsig-
nore Satolli, the apostolic delegate; sayi
any Information concerning the recent
letter to Bishop McDonnell affecting se
cret societies must come from the Bishop.
The delegate says his only office in tbe
matter was to transmit the communica
tion exactly as it came from Rome, and
that it involved no action or ruling on
his part. He was asked ii the ban ol
the church was to be placed on other se "
cret societies than the Knights of Pyth
ias, Odd Fellows and Sons of Temper
ance, but be declined to give any infor
mation as to how 1060180 societies were
affected or what punishment would be
visited upon their individual members
in case they continued their membership.
A high ecclesiastical authority ouside ol
the delegation stated that it was his un
derstanding that this action of the
church was against secret societies in
general rather than a specific society be
ing designated. This, however, could
not be verified from the delegate. He
insisted that, as he was merely a chan
nel of communication in this case, he
had no concern in the subject and the
proprieties required that the Bishop who
received the communication should be
the one to judge how far it should be
made public. m ,

Corrigan denied himself to the reporters
to-day, who sought to obtain his views
regarding the ecclesiastical interdiction
of secret socities promulgated by Bishop
McDonnell of Brooklyn to a conference
of priests of his diocese this week. Vicar

statement that such an order had been
promulgated. He said:
"The Odd Fellows, the Sons of Tem
perance and the Knights of Pythias have
been interdicted."
The decree of condemnation will at
once be promulgated throughout the
church both from the pulpits and from
the Dress. As to the reasons (or this ac
tion it is sufficient to say that they were
condemned
because the Archbishops
'evidently held that thev were sntago-
nistic to the church; The understanding
ta that tV.-. mnvamant nn BAnrat enelAtiAn

was determined upon by the council of
Archbishops of the Roman Catholic
Church of the United States held in
Chicago in September, 1893.
