WASHINGTON.
Supreme Coure Decisions.

4upfome C0urt Dec1sl0ns.
WASHINGTON, December I'm the Su-
preme Court the following decisions were
rendered to-day:
Thompson vs. Donaldson ct al, clatmants
of the steamer Great Republic-Appeal
from the Circuit Court for the district of
Louisiana. This was q case of collision on
the Mississippi river, up which the steamer
Great Republic and the Cleona, smaller
steamer. were steaming-tho lattor ahead
and the former behind.
At the time of the accident the Cleopa
started across the river, and the Republic.
following in her wake, overlook and cOllided
with her. The question was whether the
accident was caused by the attempt of the
Cleona to cross when not far enough ahead
to do so with safety, or whether by the
Republic not keeping her course or going to
the right when the Cleona started to the
lef..
The court below charged the Cleona with
fault, holding that she was not far enough
ahead of the faster steamer to warrant her
attempt to cross. This court reversed the
decree, coming to the conclusion that the
movement Of the Cleona was justified by
the distance che was ahead. and that the
Republic was at fault in not keeping her
course when the CleOna tackled. Mr.. JUS
tice Davis delivered the opinion.
In the cas-" of the Germania and Other
Insurance eompa ,ies against the steamboat
Lady Pike, appeal from the District Cour,
fpr the eastern district OF Wisconsin. In
this case the court below decided that the
collision OF barge in tow by the steamer
down the Mississippi with the railroad
bridge. near st. Paul, was Occasioned by
unavoidable accident. and the decree wat
accordingly. The insurance companies ap
pealed, alleging unskilltulness and negIi
gence ON the part OF the officers of the
steamer "a the caase of the accident, and
that view is sustained here and the decree
ia reversed. Mr.. Justice Clifford delivered
the opinion.
Washington Commnndery knights Tenn.

Templar arrived this evening from New

AFTER giving all of Monday to the
memory of Charles Sumner, the Senate
devoted several hours yesterday to a
less formal but more instructive discus
zion of the humiliation that embittered
his latter days, namely, his supersedure
in the Craftsmanship of the Foreign
Relations Committee by Simon Cam
eron. The contrast drawn by Senator
Thurman between the persistent posi-
tiveism of the President on theSan Do
mingo scheme, and his ambiguous Ian
guage on the great question of finance
in his last message, together with his
vacillation for days after the Senate
bill had passed, shows how great the
man is In little things, and little in
great things. .
