d n "Tl 9 TTTv. chools as to Mixed He Denies That He Ever Ap proved Such a'Measurt. Plain Spoken Words ' About Negroes at the White House Washington. April 12. As the result of a debate in the House today touch ing upon the negro issue, a question of veracity is raised between Ex-lTesi-dent Cleveland and a volume contain ing the statutes of the state of New York for the year 1S5I. Mr. Scott of Kansas produced the statute passed in 2SS1 when Cleveland was governor, which abolished separate schools for colored pupils in New- York City. Mr. Bartlett of Georgia, read a letter from Mr. Cleveland dated March II. 1904. In which Mr. Cleveland says that he "op posed the measure and It failed." Some weeks ago Mr. Scott charged, in a speech In the House, that Mr. Cleveland while president had dined at the White House with Charles II. J. .Taylor, a Kansas npo. who was ar terwards appointed by him as recorder cf deeds in the District of Columbia, and subsequently ml-'-ster to Bolivia. The charge was denied by Mr. Cleve land in a letter to Mr. Webb of North Carolina, which was a few days after wards read In the House. Today, while discussing the negro question, Mr. Scott again" referred to Mr. Cleveland and the negro Taylor. He said that for nearly twenty years the story had b?en In circulation that Taylor dined with Mr. Cleveland, that Taylor return ed to Kansas and boasted of it. He had nver heard it denied until Mr. Cleve I.ird's letter to Mr. Webb was read. ::nd he accepted the ex-presldent's fu.-itemcnt. He did charge, however, i''..t Mr. Cleveland had signed the bill t aboiih separate schools in New York ".ly. In suport of his statement he l-7.!uctd the session laws of New York for IS-? 4. and referred to chapter 24S. p ige 307, where there appears an act which affected the ward schools of New York City, and provided for the admission of scholars without regard to rare or coior. Separate schools. Mr. Scott said, had previously been main tained for oclored pupils. . The act he made them. At any rate rhey are both utterly and absolutely false. I can not afford to devote a greit deal of time denying such foolish tales. I shall therefore attempt to cover every phase of the subject once and for all. It so happens that I have never in my official position, either when sleeping or waking, alive or dead, on my head or on my heels, dined, lunched or sup ped, or invited to a wedding reception any colored rr.an, woman or child. If, however. I had decided to do any of these things, relther the fear of Mr. Watson nor any one else would have prevented me. When I was governor, a movement was made in the legislature to abolish separate schools In New York City. I opposed the measure and it failed. 1 1 do not find that I interposed a veto and have forgotten the course the matter took; but I know that whatever I did was In favor of maintaining separate fchools instead of having them mixed.' Very truly yours, t G ROVER CLEVELAND. This closed the discussion of the negro question with the record showing the passage of the mixed school bill while Mr. Cleveland was governor and Mr. Cleveland's letter stating that he, had opposed it and that it failed. 1,1- A . 1 - -.; i. mi Sickness is called a living- death. .

April 12.The federal gov err.ment signified in plain terms today that it was not through with the North, ern Securities-litlcatlon and that it in tended to watch very carefully so far as Its prerogatives went, every move made by tho opposing Interests in the dissolu tion process. Tho great argument be tween the Hill-Morgan and the Harri man Interests had Just started before the United States Circuit court today and W. D. Guthrie of New York, of counsel for the petitioner, 'had opened Ms argument when he made some al lusion to thepoltlon taken by the gov ernment In the Securities litigation. Judge Sanborn Interposed and asked the counsellor if he was Informed of the fact that the government had today, thrcugh Attorney General Knox, inter fused a formal objection to the Inter vention of the Harriman Interests In the case. Mr. Guthrie replied that he v.ns not aware of the fact. The court then pave District Attorney Houghton n opportunity to rrepent the govern ment's objection, which rends: "I repectful!y submit to the court that notice has been served upon me that Rim-aril U. Harriman. Wlnslotv S. nerce and the Oregon Short Line Rail road Company will apply to the Judges of this court for leave to Intervene in the cause and to proceed and be heard in respect of the. execution of the final decree of this court, entered April 5. i:2. as afilrmed by the supreme court o' the United States, and for such other r further or different order or relief as to the court may seem fit. The United States neither admits rtor denies the allegations of the peti tion, but objects to the proposed Inter vention. This case was heard by this court on bill answer and testimony, and a final decree was entered enjoining the defendants as therein recited. Upon appeal by the defendants to the su preme court of tho United states the decree of this court was affirmed in every particular, the effect of which nas to end and close the case. The United States stands on the decree as affirmed and submits that the court is only concerned to see that it is faith fully observed by the defendants ac cording to its terms." At 10 o'clock the court room In which this hearing is taking place was crowd ed to suffocation. The two Individuals who were the center of interest were Hill and Root, chief counsel of the Se curities Company. On the right of the Manufacturers agr court, as the plaintiff's counsel, sat the "J6,6 ready for re W. F.

Butler took an appeal and. was required to give a bond, of five hun dred dollars for his appearance at the next term of the superior court of. this county. Mrs. Lyon is a highly re spected lady of our town. Her husband works at the electric power house at night and was not at home. Butler took advantage of his absence to enter her room and grossly insulted her. prestige by means of a victory on land. Japan, -also, in view of the effect on the attitude, of the Coreans and Chinese as well a:3 upon, her own troops, con siders it of vital importance to win the first fight. . - The Russians are handicapped by the difficulty of concentrating their troops off the line of railway. Russia having lost the opportunity of opposing the Japanese in northern Co rea. opinion here is divided as to whether the Russians can make an ef fective stand on the Yalu or whether a more decisive action will occur at the border passes near Fanghwang.

It Is believed here that fichting has commenced on the Yalu river. It is known that the Rus sians occupy the 'right bank of the river in force. No direct information from the Yalu district has been! received here, but the position of the Russians is known, and while it is doubted that they will be able to prevent the .Ta'nMo fmm crossing the river, it is regarded as cer tain that they will offer some opposi tion. It is not belleved,-however, that there will be a serious engagement dur ing the Japanese attempt to cross the laiu. The foreign military observers at- tacnea to the first Japanese army have Desn directed to hold themselves in readiness to move, and it is expected in a few days.
