Charges Against Secretary Morton. THE LOWEST SEED BID REJECTED. Consul-General Williams AH Right in Cuba, lilna Sxplosloo Kills Six Men In a Montana Town. Cfcara-et) Aaiast Secretary Morrow By Associated Press.1 Washington, April 11. The closing of the contract for furnishing seeds for general distribution by the gov ernment has resulted in the filing of charges at the Department of Agri culture by Breslan, Goodwin a Chicago seed firm, against Secretary Morton.

The allegations are that their bid; though tbe lowest, was refused be cause tbe firm urged the passage of the resolution providing for tbe re vival of the distribution of seeds, notwithstanding Secretary Morton's pro tests that the reports furnished by officers of the department to Secretary Morion, to Senator Proctor and to tbe Senate Committee on Agricolmre and to Mr. Wads worth, chairman of the House Committee, had been manipu lated in order to show the firm's seed were below the standard; that Assis tant Secretary Dabney bad insisted on the' company, in case it received the award, using the machines of the Brown Bag-filling Machine Company, and that Dabney had decided against the company because of their refusal to do this. It is alleged furthermore that the Secretary and Assistant Secretary had falsely stated that ther company refused to use its name on the seed packets. Secretary Morton and other officers of tbe Agricultural Department make absolute denial of the and. say the award of tbe feed contract was based on a percentage of tbe sue cess and germination power of the seeds tested by the department last year, at a time when there was no prospect of further distribution.

Secretary Morton said to-day that when be found the distribution of common seeds was required by law, he asked Senator Proctor and Representative Wadsworth to go over the bids with him, and tbe records kept, and after a careful and deliberate consideration of all tbe bids and records kept in the department, it was decided, Senator Proctor first making the suggestion, to offdr D. Landreth Co. of. Philadelphia a lump sum of $70,000 to furnish vegetable seed, and L. L.

May of St. Paul $50,000 to fur nisb flower seeds. Landreth's original bid was $78,000. and May bid half a cent per package for seeds. The two firms were called in, the offers accepted and the contracts signed.

This made $11,000 more than tbe bids of tbe Chicago firm, but this action, the Secretary said, was based on the reliability, facilities and the essential nearness to Washington of tbe Land-ret Company, Fatal Mine By Associated Press.1 Denver.

Tbe filled cheese bill was taken np for an amendment onder the five-minute rale. Cannon of Illinois, offered an amendment to reduce the annoal license to be paid by manufacturers of filled cheese from $400 to $100. Grosvenor, in charge of the measure, refused to accept the amendment. He thought the manufacturers could easily pay $400. Cannon, in support of his amendment, said while this was ostenBiblyUj4o raise revenue, us purpose was to prevent me saie oi bogus cheese in competition with the genuine dairy product.

Terry of Ar kansas, offered as a substitute for the measure a bill providing every manufacturer of articles for Inter-State Commerce, who shall sell or ship low grade goods, pretending by their brands to be higher grade, shall be guilty of a fraud and liable to a fine of $1,000. Mr. Dingley, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, made an argument In favor of the original bill. "Proposed legislation, like oleomargarine said, "was exceptional. It proposed to invoke a taxing power to accomplish the object that properly came within the province of States.

It 'could only be justified on exceptional Great Aod overshadowing interest farming interest was being seriously interfered with by tbe illegal product. Were it possible to Becure uniformity State laws he would not favor this legislaiion, but in view of tbe great interests involved, he believed it should be passed. Diug-ley, however, favored the reduction of tbe proposed tax on retail dealers. McMillan (Dein of Tennessee, argued as practical the question, that such a law as this could be more easily and completely enforced with lower taxes. He called the statement of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue before the Ways and Means Ccm-inittee, that 'the special taxes on tbe o'eomargaiine law were too high.

Tawney (Rep.) of Minnesota said the pendimr amendment came very properly from Illinois, which last year produced 14,000,000 -pounds of filled cheese. The Cannon amendment was voted down by a vote of 33 to 76. Cannon then moved to reduce the tax on tbe wholesale dealers from $250 to $50. This amendment wai lost on a viva voice vote. The filled cheese bill passed the House by a vote of 160 to 59.

Alfred Yanghan, the young man yesterday 6onvicted of the murder of Willie Litster in Lander county in 1893, who took a dose of morphine ia the county jail between twelve and one o'clock yesterday, an account of appeared in last, evening's Gazette, died last night about 10 o'clock. Shortly it was diecovered tin the man was suffering from morphine poison, Drs. Tboma, Lewis, and tbe Phillips were at bis side, and did all in their power for him but all of no avail. No one seems to know how Vaunban got the death-dealing dray, but that be was determined to die il again convicted goes without saying. It is better so, aud the Gazette is truly glad that he is out of his trouble and that a higher court will pass judgment than any tribunal in world.

His family will be saved many heart acses, and while it is true that they have suffered much in- the past, and have been almost ruined financia ly in trying to eave the life of their boy from aj ignominiooa death, the' trouble is over now, -and4 Reno and tbe State of Nevada ate fortunate indeed in not having to further pros3cute young Yanghan. He bas ended tbe strife that justice might prevail by taking the law into bis own bands. This affair was a most uofortuoate one from tbe killing of the two boys to the tragic ending which culminated in Yaogban's death last night. Coroner Peers took charge of his remain" and. field an inquest to-day, resulting in confirming the facts as published in the Gazette.

Let us drop the mantle of charity around all those connected with tbe unfortunate affair, and try and prodt by the lesson it teaches.
