All day kilograms have been pouring in Of
fering stocks OF good, money, clothing food,
etc., but as yet nothing but merchandise has
been accepted. No relief committee has
been organized and probably there will be
none. The people who are and prondbly will
be bankrupt and homeless do not want to
accept aid from the outside world, and the
merchants and others are very generous, able
and willing to stand their share of the bur-

General was obliged to leave the Presidential
party at Cincinnati few days ago and return
to Washington to make preparations for Su-

are of peculiar importance. Among them is
petition for mandamus against Judge Rivers

to be discussed as well as the manner in which
the trial is to proceed after its transfer into
the u. S. Court.
There are also two cases involving the
consttutionality of the election laws which
are brought up bv habeas copRs. One from
the District of Maryland, involving the legal-

theatres, inns etc.
Importance involving the constitutionality of
the United States trade and market laws.

whom we have treaties and the second as to
their operation within the lines of particll-

been conflicting decisions in the district
courts of Ohio and Wisconsin. 1t is under
stood that those affecting foreign commerce
have been advanced in the U. S. Court at the
request of the French Minister transmitted
through the Secretary of State.
