MORE FAAUDULENT BONDS.
Topeka. Kan., Feb. 13. The fiaudulent
suear bonds have again come to the sur
face in a new de.il, this time in Stanton
county. Last December, just before the
"roasting process" expose, one of the town
ships in that county voted $10,000 in bonds
to the American Sugar company. When
the expose of the fraudulent sugar making
was made, tho township officers did not
issue the bonds, nor were they called for.
It was believed that was the end. To
day, however. Nelson II. Spencer, county
attorney of Santon county, came
down and had a consultation
with the attorney general and the auditor
of state. It scents that an agent of the
sugar company had recently gone to the
township officers and induced them to
issue script to the amount of $16,000, and
issue and sign bonds to an oqual amount,
refunding tliis scrip. The sugar meuse
cured possession of the bonds and immedi
ately disapueared. Mr. Spencer came
down to prevent the registration by the
auditor of 'the bonds, which have not yet
been presented, claiming that the entire
transaction was fraudulent. Mr. McCar
thy wiil not register them, so" they will be
worthless if offered in the market.

PBESENTINQ THEIB VIEWS.
Membere of the House Argue the New Code
of Rules.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 12. The house met
this morning and began the debate ou the
proposed code of rules. It was continued
by Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, in the vein
of earnest criticism. The proposed rules,
he said, would relieve congress of the ne
cessity of repealing taxation, at least as
far as tho surplus was concerned.
Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, and Mr
Allen, of Michigan, followed Mr. Dockery,
speaking in support of the rules, and at
the conclusion of their remarks the session
of Tuesday was ended and that of Wed
nesday began.
The journal having been read Mr. Bou
telle, of Maine, asked unanimous consent
for its approval, but objections came from
the Democratic side and a roll call was
made necessary. The journal was ap
proved yens 119, nays 1, the speaker
counting seventy-two Democrats present
and not voting.
The debate on the rules was then con
tinued. Mr. McCreary, of Kentuckv, argued
against and Mr. McCutcheon.of Michigan,
for the adoption of the rules.
Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, supported the code
and Mr. Hooker, of .Mississippi, opposed it
on constitutional grounds.
Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, (the
one Democrat who has voted when pres
ent upon every question) criticised the
proposed rules because theytended to sti
fle adequate and necessary debate
Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, while sup
porting tue proposed code, acknowledged
that he had t-ken advantage of the old
rules to filibiiaUr against ihe considera
tion of the Union Pacific funding bill. He
was not ashamed of his action, because be
believed that bil' to be a gigantic fraud;
but he thought th time had come when
filibustering should be eradicated.
1 he debate was further part'Cipated in
for the Democ-i c hide by Messrs. Cum
mincs of New York, Chinmau of Michi
gan and Caruth of Mcntucky.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, said that for
the last few weeks the country bad wit
nessed .scenes unequaled in the history of
the government The sneaker of the house
backed by every Republican member on the
floor, had been making a stand for the
rights and liberties of the peonle That
stand had brought on scenes exceeding in
monstrous proportions, in all except bru
tality, any that had ever occurrei in the
national capitol. Only one picture stood
out stronger in history, and that was when
a Democratic club laid the immortal Sum
ner on the floor of the senate. The speaker,
rising to the situation like a granite moun
tain, had met tne occasion and caimly done
the duty of the hour. Applause on the
Republican side. After one of these
stormy scenes he (Henderson) had heard a
gentlemen ou the Democratic side say to
another: "Did you bear tne rebel yell?"
Let the gentlemen understand here, now
and forever that the northern
rdoughface was an animal of
tue past. Applause. Ltt them
understand thecountry had pasd through
a fiery furnace which had eliminated the
northern doughface. Gentlemen on the
other aide undertook to control this coun
try whether tney herein 'he majority or
in th- minority: they could no: do it. Ap
plause ou Republican side. The Republi
cans meant business and it was to do that
business calmly, earnestly, bravely and
patriotically, that tney were here. As
sault after assault from great and small
hid been hurird against tne speaker. Gsa
tlemeu had been very chary of making
sneli.sauits when the speaker hl been
ou the floor inst-nd of bring tied up as
presiding officer. Laughter on Republican
.side No gentleman bad dared outside
or inside or the chamber to insnlt Mr.
Reed when he occupied a sal on the floor.
Was this chivalrous? Was it brtve for
men to -and in trout of the desk and hurl
at the speaker epithets they would uot
have dared to utter had he bten on the
floor
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, and Mr.
Walser, of Massachusetts, followed in de
fense of the speaker5 course, and then the
bouse took a recess until S o'clock, the
evening session to bs for debate oa tbs

CLASH BETWEEN GROSVENOR AND
FORAKER.
Washington, Feb. 12. General Gros
Tenor was a witness before the ballot box
forgery committee this morning. Before
publication of the forged contract witness
had heard that Campbell was interested
in the ballot box scheme.
Governor Foraker Do you remember
getting a dispatch in October, reading like
this: "Trust in me, Charley, and I will
stand by you?"
General Grosvenor From whom
Governor ForaKer Never mind who
sent it.
General Grosvenor No, sir, I have no
recel lection of anything of the sort. It is
not a very fair way to treat a witness
either. If you have any information you
should say who from. I think you got
your information from some constitutional
liar.
Governor Foraker I hare got most of
my information from you.
Charles L. Kurtz, secretary to Governor
Foraker, testified that September SO, the
morning after the Music nail speech, he
had a conversation of a surprising nature
with Colonel A. C, SandH, of Cincinnati, in
the governor's office. Sands spoke to wit
ness in a way that impressed him with the
belief he knew fully of all that was back of
the ballot box bill. He said there was a
contract behind the bill; that he (Sands)
had been sent to Washington to see cer
tain congressmen in behalf of the bill.
Leading men in congress, said Sands, were
interested in the bill. They bad signed
the contract and they were Republicans at
the top of the ladder in Ohio politics.

ME. FEBKETS' BILL.
The House Committee on Territories Will
Keportlt Favorably.
Washington, Feb. 12. The house com
mittee on territories today decided to re
port favorably without amendments the
bill introduced yesterday by Representa
tive Perkins, of Kansas, to organize the
territory of Oklahoma and to establish
courts in the Indian territory. The bill as
introduced by Representative Perkins con
tained various amendments which tho
committee had decided upon when it had
different Oklahoma bills under considera
tion. It was thought that action upon the
bill would be facilitated by having it in
troduced regularly in the house by some
member and then adopted by the commit
tee instead of reporting it as an original
measure with the committee.

PARIS, Feb. li Tho Duke of Orleans,
son of the Count and Countess of Paris,
who came to Paris last week with the
avowed intention of enlisting in the French
army and who wjis arrested on the charge
of violating the law exiling from France
all pretenders to the French throne, was
again arraigned before tbe tribuual of the
Seine today. lie vjas adjudged guilty of
violating the law and was sentenced to
two years' imprisonment.
The court room was crowded with spec
tators who had gathered to witness the
proceedings against the young duke.
When the prisoner was arraigned the
crowd broke out with loud cries for the
army, the Duke of Orleans and the repub
lic. They became so demonstrative that
the gendarmes were compelled to clear the
room.
After the sentence had been pronounced
a thousand persons invaded the advocates'
room. Many of them were monarchists
and shouted "Long live the Duke of Or
leans." Their shouts were met with
counter cries of "Down with tlie Duke of
Orleans," "Long live the republic " The
guards were powerless to restore order.
After venting their feelings here for a
time the crowd shouted "To the station,
let us ciown Henry IX." With one accord
the rushed to the site of the statue where
there were cries of 'Long live tho king"
from the duke's sympathizers and "Long
live tbyi republic," from the opponents.
The police made twonty-tlyo arrests.
Before judgment was announced tbe
duke addressed the court m his own be
half. Re said: "I canio to France to
serve as a common soldier. 1 have noth
ing to do with politics, which only con
cerns my father, whose obedient sou and
faithful servant I am. I knew that by en
tering France I rendered myself liable to
law, but that knowledge did not stop me.
I love my country aud wish to serve her.
I am guilty of no crime."
The duke will be allowed to remain in
the Conciergene prison for a few
weeks before being removed to jail.
The government grants him this
privilege in order to give him an oppor
tunity to appeal from tho sentence of the
court.
During the hearing in the court the
Duke of Orleans asked his counsel not to
defend him. He said he had learned in
exile to honor magistracy ami respect its
decision. If condemned by the courts ho
was sure of acquittal at the hands of :$,
000 conscripts of hi- class who were more
fortunate thuu he had been and who were
able to serve their country. When the
public prosecutor urged that the duke was
undoubtedly guilty aud he had been taken
flagrant delictu, the were murmurs in
the audience and the president
threatened to clear the court. Tho coun
sel for the dafendant declared that the
duke's act was the result of a generous
impulse, and would be nn honor to him
throughout his life. He hoped that in her
hour of danger France would have many
such children to defend her. This senti
ment was greeted with applause. The
counsel further contended that the law
imposing military service upon all French
men nullified tho law relating to the exile
of the princes.
The Count of Paris, who. with the Duke
de ChartrcB, 1 a passcngf r bound for A'era
Cruz, arrived at Porto Rico today where
he received intelligence of the arrest of his
son, tho Duke of Orleans. He immediately
sent a cable dispatch to Al. do Boucher, an
Orleanlst member of the chamber of
deputies, saying: "My heart is with mi
dear prisoner."
It is reported that the Duke of Orleans
will submit quietly to the sentence of the
court and make no appeal.

a dynamite explosion, and and and stones
were belched forth, falling in the northern
road of Fnkuyamas, where stones wers
also blown by the wind. In the town the
ground was covered by sand and dirt to
the depth of over a foot. Stones and earth
both fell at Midsooomimura, a Tillage six
miles away. No previous eruption of
Mount Zoo is recorded. Only one mas

fiftv houses were destroyed. The total
loss entailed by the eruption is estimated
at nearly $3,o0u,000.

"We can not congratulate the government
upon their victory. If such nn offence is
not nn offence against tho dignity and

nitv to lose, s it no longer has a leader
wit'h enough opirit to maintain iti honor
against the powerful persons whose xup
port may be worth seeking." v
The Lon Ion Times says: "If the doc
trine that the letters were iutended to in
fluence parliament shuuld be accepted, we
venture to say ttiat It ..would be impoisi
ble for any newspaper to be published dur
ing the session without comiug into con
