IT, Bur your committee 90 not ma IL necessary
TO impute any intent OF wrong TO the learned
Judge who Tried the case; bus the effect OF his
error was TO deprive TINS petitioner OF great and
DeDehcent right, guaranteed to her as strongly as
any other by the constitution her country have
the question OF her guilt passed upon by her peers
which error has had the same effect upon ner
rights as an Intentional assumption OF power
would have had, and may nave hereafter In bad
times, wherein corrupt judges welding instru-
ments oil power. shield themselves by precedents
set by good judges in good times.

right TO enter verdict without submitting the

OF trial by jury, your committee recommend that
the prayer OF the petitioner be granted, and to
this end report the following bill, with the recon-

mors OF Secretary Richardson's Sue
cessor-solicitOr General Bristow and
the Expected Change I'm the Cabinet.
The indications are that the President will to-
morrow send to the Senate the nomination OF
Colonel Brisrow TO be Secretary OF the Treasury.
It Will be remembered that Mr.. Bristow was nomi-
mated Tor the Attorney General&hip at the same
time that Mr.. Williams was nominated to be the
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court, but owing to
the withdrawal or Williams nomination, and as
consequence OF his remaining In ONCE as Attorney
General, there was no vacancy to be filed by
Bristow. 1t Is thought there will be several i'm
portant changes in the Treasury Department con-
sequent on the confirmation OF Brstow. who Is
now In Washington. The nomination OF Richard
son to be Associate Judge OF the Court OF Claims
will also be sent to the Senate this week.

twothrds vote can be got the bill will have to be
first referred to the Judiciary Committee. who
now have the leave OF the House to report 1t back
at any time when q majority will secure its
passage. 1t Is not believed the requisite two
thirds vote can be obtained as there are at least
fifteen republicans who will vote against suspend
ing the rules to allow the summary passage of a
measure which it is well understood the President
will not approve in the form in which it came from
the Senate.
