C. July The first of the claims for sugar bounty earned prior to the passage of the repealing act has been approved by the auditor of the treasury, but Its payment has been suspended by Comptroller Bow-ler on the question of constitutionality. It is a test case Inasmuch as the character of Its decision will apply to all similar claims. Including those made in accordance with the provisions of the sundry civil bill appropriating S5.000.000 for the payment of bornty on sugar man ufactured and produced prior to Aug. 28, 1894, when the bounty law repealed.

The claim Is made by the oxnara Beet Sugar Neb. Its amount is $11,782 SO. It has been approved by the officials of the Internal revenue bureau and by Mr. Badwln, the auditor of the treasury, in pursuance of the terms of the appropriation of made by the legislative executive and Judicial bill. Comptroller Bowler Is a "strict constructionist" and he doubts the constitutionality of bounties in general.

He believes that his position on this subject is supported by th recent decision of the court of appeals of the district of Columbia, which refused to issue an order to compel the treasury officials to pay the 'sugar bounty and went out of its way to register its opinion that all bounties are unconstitutional. Comptroller Bowler proposes to have the question referred' to the attorney general for settlement, and in, the meantime no further action will be taken by the treasury officials towards preparing for the disbursement of the $238,000 ap propriated. It is believed by treasury officials that in the event of the attorney general's opinion being adverse to the payment of the bounty all the work now being done preparatory to disbursement of the $3,000,00 appropriation will be stopped. PATROLLING THE FLORIDA COAST. Instructions were to-day forwarded to the commanders of the four revenue cutters, the Winona, the McLane, the For- wara and tbe MorrllL who are to natrol the Florida coast for the double purpose of preventing smuggling and keeping out yellow fever, as formerly related la these dispatches.

The Winona, of which Mr. D. McC. French, formerly of New Orleans, Is chief engineer, will have its headquarters at Key West, and wHl patrol the coast from there to cape Florida. The Morrill will have headquarters at Cedar Keys, and will patrol from there to Tampa.

The McLane will have headquarters at Key West, and will guard the coast from that place to Tampa. The forward, now stationed at Mobile, win call Pensacola Us headquarters, and will patroi oetween tnat port and Cedar Keys. The instructions forwarded tn. commander are very explicit and urgent. They require that every vessel and fishing-smack that shall be sighted coming towards the Florida coast from possibly infected ports shall be overhauled and questioned as to the state of health of her crew.

In case sickness is reported on board any vessel, she Is to be ordered -to proceed to the nearest quarantine sta- tion. j.ne- revenue commanders' instruc tions are to see that these orders are and to use force, if necessary, to that end. The naphtha launches which are to accompany each revenue cutter, as previously reported in the Picayune, will examine every river, inlet and bayou and inquire Into the condition of the crews of any vessels that may be found 'there and the revenue officers are required to render every possible aid to the marine hospital Inspectors who will accompany these vessels. Dr. Acker, of Mobile, will be on the McLane; Dr.

Bernard E. Baker of Charleston, will go with the Morrill' and Dr. Mitchell, also of Charleston, will be the medical officer on the Winona. The selection of -a marine hospital surgeon to accompany the Forward has not yet been made. The vessels will start ont on their n-trol duty as sooi as these Instructions, sent to-day, reach them, so that the new service will begin almost immediately These precautions are being taken none too for all of the recent reports received by Surgeon General Santiago and Havana are to the effect that yellow fever is on the Increase to an alarming extent at those places.

Quite a large number of the Chinese engage In mining, bat they do not add to the development -of the country, as they use no modem machinery or improvements.

The recent visit of Director Edmuhd Hohn, of the uni versal postal to 'Postmaster Gen eral Wilson has aroused-fresh Interest In the system of foreign malls and their ramifications. One of the subjects dis cussed at the coming postal congress will be the money order system which already obtains In most of the European countries.

Postmaster General Wilson has Informed Mr. Hohn that United States will probably not be willing to join this system, but It possible that something may, nevertheless, be done to bring about a more systematic exchange of money orders now exists. There are two systems of money exchange in vogue in the world, known as the list and the card systems. All the United States conventions are under the list system, while the postal union olan is that of the card made by the list method. All money orders drawn here on a foreign country go first to an exchange office in the United States, where they are listed.

Then they go to a central office In the country on which the order is drawn, where they are checked off and stamped and forwarded to the town where payment is to be made. The books of each country can thus be easily kept and balanced. By the card system a postmaster In one draws directly on one In another country and: his order goes direct without passing through any central exchange office. The United States postal authori ties say that while this plan works well enough in Europe, where the distances are short between international money offices, it would cause great trouble when extended across the ocean to- America. In addition to the difficulties arising from the differences of language, there is the danger of frauds, which might not be discovered until weeks after they were committed, when It would be too late to capture the It is for such reason that the United.

States has followed the course of Great Britain and all the English speaking countries and colonies of the world and steadily refused to Join In any money order exchange other tnan tnrougn tne exenange omces.

The Entire Day Devoted to Eloquent Argument, Ihe State Appeallnr for the Uphold- IsfflTOf Law, While the Defense Urges the Grard Doubt As to Whether the Wound Caused Mr. Death, And Whether the Aooused Fired the Shot Which Inflicted the Injury. Franklin, Lav, July 18. (Special.) At 2 o'clock this morning the jury brought In a verdict of not guilty In the Payne case.

The jury was out two hoars altogethes before they effected an agreement. People hung about the courtroom, awaiting the result with almost breathless anxiety. Women remained the courtroom until nearly the time for the verdict. Shortly after the Jury went out -the sentiment was canvassed by Jared Sanders and others, and, while a few thought the verdict should be manslaughter, near ly everyone Deuevea it wouia ne not e-nllrv. icami ttn-rny and friends stood an the courthouse campus aod looked up at windows of the Jury-room, hoping to catca a worO or assurance xromme conversation of the Jurors.

The district attorney and associate counsel waited in the Judge's room for the Bvery little while word was sent to the Jury to know If It was reaay to report. It returned the information that it. had not yet agreed. At 2 o'clock the Jury said it had agreed and came into court.

When the verdict 'of not guilty was announced the relative and friend of Payne-embraced him, and there was great rejoicing and congratulation. THE DATS DOINGS. A Rename ot the ArgMt on Botn Sides. Franklin, 3xttj 18. (Special--Jndge Allen did not open court to-day until 11 o'clock In order to give the attorneys time to prepare their special charges to the Jury.

The evidence was all In lact evening and the case submitted by the opposing counsel. It being known that the day wa to be devoted to argument an unusual crowd turned out. packing the court room almost to suffocation. The ladles of Franklin came to the courthouse to hear the speeches and there were probably fifty of them present at the morning session. After the second bell rang Mr.

Payne came Into -court in compajiy -with a deputy sheriff. He had spent a comfortable night In Jail despite the warm weather and the close quarters of the prison. Hi wife and children came in at the same time. Mrs. Payne and her children appeared confident of a verdict giving the father and husband hi liberty.

Governor Foster, who has been attending the trial each day. and many ef the leading sugar "planter from different section of the parish were present to hear the display of forensic oratory. Although the heat wa there was not standing room to the court when Sheriff. Frere thumped his baton on the clerk's dek as a lgoal for silence. JAMES WILKINSON, of Orleans, aaslsttog In Jf101 of Payne, opened the debate.

He was followed by Kessr. Wilson, Saunders, Cafferv and Fenner for the defense, the closed by District Attorney Minos T. Gordy. Five hour were given to each side. Mr.

Wilkinson, In opening for the prosecution with a simile of the rising and the setting sun kissing the cross of the village-church which wa emblematieof the humanity taught, the worldV -The priest saving the ouhv of men, doctor entering a scourged and nremen penetrating the flame of burning bulld-Ines were heroes.

'According to the finding of the supreme court of Louisiana, of which Judge Fenner was a mem-: ber. and citing a case he had to do with, the action of Payne waa not manslaughter merely, but murder. Payne went to the refinery tO'klU Ferris, for, -according to the testimony of Mr. Denbo, he had said he would go to the refinery If there' wa any monkey business, and, with a gang from Rap I dee pariah, would wipe the refinery from the face of earth and 17i those connected rith It. The supreme mrt ha decided that la the case of ESfard anauaL the de-Sint -was tried.

convicted and sentenced to bang. He appealed the. case on von ttt the Judge did not cUarse the Jury properly, fflo contended Never Such BargaSinis WOLME AT Prices reduced from those of last Friday on hundreds of Remnants and Odds and Ends UKE' THIS $3.00 Dress Goods for 30 cents. $5.00 Chiffons- for that It must be ehowo In five minutes before the act that murder was Intended. The accused shoots Ferris In hie own office, without authority and without provocation.

Instantaneous Intent IS enough. From the blow of the shot the intent Is signified, and in the above cited case the supreme court confirmed the sentence of hanging. In this- cause I have shown that the accused intended to ehoot Ferris two days before he did, and the law eays the defendant knows, if rational, the consequence ot his own acts. Was the pistol shot the cause of the death of L. M.

Ferris, of did it hasten the death? In the law. if we are murdered a day before' we are expected to die with disease. If we are afflicted, the slayer is guilty of murder. Dr. Fenner did all he could to save FeVrls, seeing the grim monster death and distraction to his family and relatives.

If Ferris should die. He worked conscientiously to save Ferris, and, besides, had a nurse employed and called Dr. Bloom to assist him. The patient was attended with care and skill, and everything was done that could possibly be done to save the wounded man. Gates, who testified fairly, said that Ferris had lost a great deal of blood.

He got to him late. The bloody garments were ehown to you, gentlemen of the Jury, proving that Ferris had bled badly. He wa taken to New Orleans, when physicians were summoned, as the wound was serious enough to cause the attendance of two physicians, and the use of a tube to -wash out the wound. Ferris was well enough to attend to ibis business, and only went to bed when this blow was Inflicted. Dr.

-Fenner said on the stand he ever saw a man die before from a gunshot wound In the forearm. Old men die quicker than young men, and I declare to you that Ferris would be llvlnar to-day If he had never been The law presumes the result follows the cause, ana ir. Fenner test hard ae It was, that the shot wound waa a contrfbutary cause of the death. He said the death could not have been caused by natural means. He could not have died of a hemorrhage had not the wound been there as a means of exit for the blood, the loss of which weakened the patient so that he never could recover.

There is no getting around the fact that the death of L. M. Ferris was caused by the gunshot wound In the arm. We are men of common sense, and the testimony nas neen testimony 01 common sense. The coroner's Jury declared that the death of Ferris was caused by the gunshot.

It found that the ulnar bone bad been injured, that chips of it had been driven into the arteries, bringing about suppuration. Natural causes follow natural effects. It does not re quire a doctor to show that Ferria was shot, went to bed as a consequence, and died. The defense say the nurse wa responsible for the death, but I tell you that she waa there on the recommendation of Dr. Fenner, but no testimony Is adduced to ehow that the ourse was told to look out for the bursting of en artery, fit was cold The cover was on the arm.

Dr. Fenner said. and all the other doctors testified, that Ferris had been bleeding fifteen minutes. She had looked at his arm twenty minutes before. The bleeding was not expected.

The doctors say that Ferris was lulled by the bleeding. Ferris would have died unconsciously. The nurse went to him and was horrified to see that he was bleeding to death. She called to me to go, for God's sake, for a doctor, Ferris was bieeditrg to death. She bound a handkerchief around the arm of Ferris, despite the fact that he cried out that it hurt him.

She held on tlghtiy and stopped the flow of blood. The law says tnat tne mnraerer snail not escape any allegation that the doctors might have saved the wounded. The supreme court has decided that If the wounded die- regardless Of medical the crime Is none the lese The crime of the person whose malice caused the injury is not mitigated by the. mismanagement of physicians. The law that nmM down from, the aeee- shows that although the man who is shot Is 111 of a fatal distease, thst disease hes nothing to do with the murder.

Because a man has three plantations and a home in Mississippi, and Is enabled to employ a regiment of lawyer to stand between him and the law, is he to escape for hi crime? The law makes no distinction. A wound that cause death Is a murder, regardless of the physical condition, and Lord Hale holds that If the wound gao-nuiM nd th aranarene causes death. the murder is none the less a murder. Judge Fenner too tnis pomuoa sions he rendered as 'a member of. the nf th atate.

If you find that Ferris died from the wound, you are bound to find that It to murder, for the courte of the land and thi tate nave so held. There Is ct ly one excuse kwling In thi state, and that, is the doctrine of self-defense. It Is tlien for the Jury to find whether bodily harm was about to be done. Th la tv doe not excuw a whan th. mnrdfred la unarmed and shows no resistance, but 1 shot down after preparation ny mo aiajer his crime.

There Is not one thing In the killing of Ferrl that signified resistance. He offered to explain to I'ayne, and was holding hi hands tip. He was unarmed, and In his own house, but this defendant deliberately drew hi weapon and fired at him. There has bee-i no roof ef any resistance of Ferris. Fen is id' not even say a harsh In reply when he was being cursed.

The srpreme court ha held that though the alayer had been mrsod Instead the murder was not was orrerea expiauuu. instead he said he would kill Ferris and he -did, and now he comes eava It vwa to scare him. If men are to go free for thnt. then someone win oe sooi ever icw iik birds on the wing. Cen you sanction anything of the kind 1 Is there no la in St.

Ferris-face wa powder-burned. 'Why If Ferris wa being shot to be scared, -il'd Payne keen the pistol on a level with the read of Ferris, and cause his pistol hand to follow -Ferris when the second shot was fired, which struck him? Why did be not drop his pistol hand if he was only going to shoot once, and then In fun? It WaTall Jest, they aay I Why.

The defense put witnesses on the' stand who were on the outside of the sugar-house to prove the lapse of time between the shots, yet the defendant never heard it, with the pistol In his own hand.
