A STATE SECRET OUT. 5 Accidentally Slipped Into Documents Sent to the Public Printer. JUST STOPPED IN. TIME To Frerent Its Being Printed for Gen eral Circulation. A TIJZZLE TO THE UNINITIATED. The Webster Case and the President's Message Thereon. KlYERMES TALKLNG FOR FREE DAMS IEPECIAL TTLEGRArmC LETTm.l Bceeac or The PisrATCH, ) Vasuixotok, I). C Feb. 4. A State secret accidentally slipped in among the "pub. docs." of Congress, and the fact was cot discovered until the "con fidential" communication had been put in print for public distribution. Fortunately for the guardians of governmental secrets, however, the order to suppress this contra band "pub. doc" reached the Public Printer in time to enable him to prevent its distribution. Accordingly, 'the printed copies were immediately canceled, and the matter nas reprinted in the form of a con fidential document for the nse of the Senate. The representatives of the people in the other branch of Congress and the public at larce were thereby deprived of the enjoy ment they niignt have experienced if this "state secret" had happened to reach the document room and been distributed before the accidental error was detected. "W liy the Document M as Private. Tuttthvthe document should be kept secret would be a pule to the minds of un initiated common people. But the expla nation is in the tact that the document con sisted of a report from the Secretary of State to the President of the United States, and a special message by the President transmitting the correspondence to the Sen ate. Secretary Maine's report was in the nature ot a response to a resolution adopted in a eciet session of the Committee on For eign Isolations, transmitting the case of William Webster to the President, with the statement that "the committee respectfully recommend the matter to his attention as a claim th.it is worthy of consideration, and with the request that it be made the subject of further negotiation with the Government of Great Britain." The fact that the Foreign Relations Com mittee deemed the Webster case important enough to be thus urgently commended to the President's especial attention, with the accompanying request for lurthcr negotia tion ith Great Britain, and tliat the Presi dent was now reporting to the leading com mittee of the Senate the result of the fur ther diplomatic negotiation, brought the President'? special message and its accom paniments within the category of a "confi dential" communication to the Senate. I'nc spin's Terse Keply. William Webster's claim grows out of his having been wrongfully deprived of lands belonging to him in Xeiv Zealand. His claim arainst Great Britain for cofn pensition as presented through our De partnicut of State. Her Majesty's Govern ment had arrned at an unfavorable decision upon the cave, finding that, by his own acts, r. AVebstcr had debarred himself from the right to claim anything, and, under the cir cumstances, Her Majesty's Government re plied to the TJn'ted States that it regretted jli.it at was unable to reopen the case or to entertain Mr. Webster's cljini. The Tinted States Department of State found that the unfavorable determination arrhedatbj Great Britain was the result of a misapprehension ot the facte, and Min ister Lincoln was instructed to state to Her Majesty's Government that if the facts had been correctly understood by that Goernmcnt there as reason to sup pose that the. result of their deliberations would hae been different; and that the British Goternment's "reply to this Government's representations due a? it appears to be, to an entire misconception of the facts cannot be regarded as satis factory and conclusive." Lincoln to Lord SalisbnrT. Minister Lincoln communicated to Lord Salisbury the exceptions taken bv our State Department to the erroneous and unfavora ble view taken of the claim in question by Her Majesty's Government, and expressed the hope that Her Majesty's Government would readily reconsidtr its'viens upon the iubject. The correspondence recently sent to the Senate by the President (aud'which, as be fore stated, was rescued from among the "pub. docs.") shows that the British for eign office "carefully considered the repre sentations of the American minister respect ing the land claim of Mr. Webster in 2Jew Zealand." In its reply to Minister Lincoln's note, the British foreign office admitted, "official ly," that u "mistake was inadvertently made, but," added Her Majesty's diploma tic representative, "while expressing to you my regret that this mistake should have occurred, I have the honor to state that it docs not appear to Her Majesty's govern ment to materially affect the question at issue, nor to involve any alteration of the decisiou at which they have already ar ried." The foregoing is the substance of the "State secrtt" which came near getting lost in the shuffle of the mass of matter sent to Congress by the executive branch of the Government. Arter Tree Mononahela Dams. A delegation from the Pittsburg Coal Ex change had a hearing before the Committee on Harbors to-day, in advocacy of the pur chase of the Monongahcla dams.

CHICAGO ASKS NO HELP, Bat Sim Would Like a Little Matter of 84,000,000 From TJnclo &am to Help Out the National Commission In Its Tart of the World's Fair Work. Chicago, Feb. 4. The Chicago di rectors of the World's Fair have con cluded they can run their part of the great Exposition without any financial help from Uncle Sam. Con gress will not be asked to loan or appropri ate a dollar for the local directory. All the funds needed to complete the buildings and grounds are in readiness to turn over to the President of the United States, and the National Commission will be supplied by Chicago bankers and capitalists, vvho, it is said, have already guaranteed to make good any possible deficit. Congress will, however, be given a bill for consideration which will provide for an appropriation of $4,000,000, to be handled entirely by the National Commission in the execution of work expressly delegated to theommission by the act creating the ex position. The plan of legislation was finally decided upon to-day at the Conferences be tween the Directors' Committee on Special Legislation and Judge St. Clair, Chairman of the National Commission's Committee. The appropriation, it is proposed, shall be divided as lollows- Sy-teni of juries and awards, $700 000; Gov ernment boards in cliaree of Government exhibits, IWW.OOO; the Boaid of lady Mana gers, $123,000; administration of 15 depart ments, meetings of Xational Commission, exploitation and salane-, about $2,500,000.

The Jledical Eccord, edited by Dr. George F. Shrady, will, in its next issue, publish the following on the re cent poisoning case which resulted in the conviction of Carlyle W. Harris for the murder of his wife: As mhtlit have been anticipated, it was not difficult to make these experts flatly contradict each other on essential points, and thus hopelessly muddle the unscientific brains of the jury; Dut this display of con tradictory evidence w as not without its lea son to the student of medical juiisprudence In emphasizing the necessity of Impartial scientific commissions whose functions should be advisory and explanatory to the court, as opposed to the customs of experts who are avowedly engaged to take the side of one or the other. In commenting upon the case from a scientific point ot view, it is fair to say that the evidence clearly pointed to morphia as the catiso of the victim's death, notwith standing the able testimony to the contrary offered by gentlemen .of acknowledged ex perience in pathology and the micro-chemistry of poisons. It was also plainly to be seen that pathological lesions, claimed to have been possible in the brain and kidneys, could not be demonstrated weeks after the bnnal and when decomposition had com menced. FEENCH BAKES IN TBOTTBLE. Arrested Members of a Firm to Go Free to Screen Other Parties, Paris, Feb. 4. Two financial houses in this city are in trouble. Two of the mem bers of the firm, it is announced, were ar rested last night and subjected to a most searching investigation, which lasted throughout the night. The police refuse to say anything in re gard to the reported arrests. The Temps hears that the arrested culprits will be re leased in order to protect .a high political personage implicated in the trouble and to avoid a financial crisis which would involve O,2,"i0,00U francs. What originated rhc panic was the sus pension ot the negotiations of the Ottoman Bank with a Swiss banking syndicate for the creation of an Eastern stock trust Then came the rumor of the arrest of a banker, an affair which turned out to be merely a mat ter of deficit in an industrial 'enterprise guaranteed by the family of the inculpated manager. liro Dead and Tlve May Dlr.

Ad Gnmbert May Be Traded to Louisville Along With WeCer. THE FOOT -BALL GAME IS A BUEE GO President Temple, Manager Buckcn- burger and Ed Hanlon had a conference yesterday afternoon and as a result the last named signed a contract to play for the Pittsburg clnb during the coming season. He will also captain the team and will therefore receive extra remuneration for that extra responsibility and duty. The delay in his signing has been caused by the fixing of suitable terms in consequence of his accepting the captainship. There has" been considerable higgling and it is pleas ing to know that everything was satisfac torily arranged yesterday. Captain Hanlon will have charge of the men when on the field, and he will have charge in fact. Manager Bnckenberger is a believer iu allowing a man scope so that responsibility can be traced to its proper source. Hanlon is also well satisfied with this arrangement and all shortcomings will easily be traced to the proper cause. President Temple also gave Manager Bnckenberger to understand that he (Buck enbercer) will be manager in fact, and that he'will, therefore, be held entirely respon sible lor the work of the team." This is also just what "Buck" wants: he desires to have full swing in arranging and placing his men, and if he makes a failure after a fair trial he will be satisfied to relinquish the task. Thus all three were heartily sat isfied yesterday, and it is to be hoped that the good feelings will be sustained. Captain Hanlon and Jake Becklev will leave for Hot Springs next Wednesday evening, and probably Baldwin will lollow 'a few days later. The latter has to go to Philadelphia to attend his case against Von der Ahe, and when that is over he may join Hanlon and Beckley. Ed Swartwood is at a loss what to do. He may remain here and get himself into condition in a local gym nasium. There is plenty opportunity for good training in ana about Pittsburg. IPS A STJEE GO.

It has been definitely arranged that the Association football contest between the Pittsburg and Chicago Cricltet Club teams fliall take place at Exposition Park on Washington's birthday, the 22d inst. Yesterday President Goodwyn, of the local club, received ti letter from the Secretary of the Chicago club stating that the West era eleven could not come to Pittsburg un der a guarantee of $250. Mr. GooUwyn, at once wired back that the amount asked would be guaranteed and that the gamo would take place rain or shine. Speaking about the proposed game yester day President Goodwyn said: "It is a go now and the officials or the local ball club have generously allowed us tho use or Ex position Park lor the event. It will be the most imnortant football srame ever played "in Pittsburg as it will be for championship honors. e nope to win as w o wilt certainly have a creat team on the field that day if all goes w ell."

It will bo remembered that after his defeat by AValker at Gncco-Homan style, a forfeit was posted for a match at mixed styles, but when the time came Winstanley failed to materialize, his backers losing the forfeit and also being out the money they paid for keeping him in Newport for over sit weeks. Atter leaving here he went to Chicago, but failed to set a match.

San Feaxcisco, Feb. t, The California Club directors met last night and considered the advisability of a six-round go between Joe Chojnski and Frank Slavin. The latter is expected here in a short time, and. as he. is on a money-making expedition, it is fair to assume that he will be glad to meet Choyn ski for a fair-sized purse. Should the match bo made Calilornians will have an oppor tunity of formine an intelligent estimate of the chances Slavin will have ot whinpin Peter Jackson. Uhoynskt is anxious to have the fi tilt arranged, fie is confluent of being able to hold his own with Slavin. As God dard twice knocked out Cuoynski in fouT rounds, if Slavin is as good as reported, six rounds ought to be equivalent to a finish. 4 They Are Still Shaving.
