WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19,-"The de-

here this afternoon threw the case OF Jessie

Of court, and the friends Of the Georgia
statesman will doubtless Immediately set out
to show that by the. Judgment of the United
States Court at tho National Capital it has
been found that little Tommy Is not Ell
titled to the name Of Hill, but the
Judgment OF the District Court says moth
ing Of the sort. The case simply goes
of on demurrer, and the decision Of
the Court in fact is that even If Ben ELL is
the father Of little Tommy, there is no law in
the District OF Columbia that requires
father to support an ilegitimate child. The
Court did not venture to express IN opinion,
OF course, on the merits Of the case, and the
decision makes it possible for Ben Hill to
say to Jessie Raymond, "Suppose that little
Tommy is Tommy Htli,, l., what are you goiIns

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 19.-The Grand
Jury here has made report indicting for
forgery nearly all the clerks Of the District
Government who were charged during the
winter with having been engaged in fraud
ulent specnlations In connection with draw
back certificates. These forgeries are shown
to have been very brazen. Names to powers
of attorney nave been forged with careless
ness that indicated at least criminal neglect
OH the part of the officers In
charge, If not open corruption and
conspiracy. In one instance, drawback
was issued on a lot not in existence and
under a name that is not borne on the tax
books. In several cases the names have been
adroitly changed, and in other cases the
ignorance Of the forger was so great that he
did not know how to spell the names of the
proper owners. Persons dead years before the
Improvement ever WAS contemplated were
brought into, reQnlsitfon by these forgerles.

issued by brokers, and on which thousands
of dollars have been settled. The bulk of
these forgeries were not committed under the
present District Commissioners and tt is only
just to say that when the Commissioners dis

usually successful one. About 10000, COO

turned into the Potomac, and the remainder
have been distributed mainly in the waters
of California, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, the

Sandusky. O., and tho same number to Terre
Haute, Ind, to stock streams there. The

and built expressly for the service
of the Fish Commission, will 20 to sea

that the future work in that direction Will
result not only in greatly increasing the sup
ply, but also IN widely extending the range
of that valuable food fish. At the establish

hatched, and ARRANGEMENTS have heen made

which required his immediate attention, and
the latter travelling in journalistic capacity.

THE DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL COUP.
Spretai Dispatch 10 1he Chicago 1rtbune.
+ INDIANAPOLIS, June 19.-The. cUnstitu-
tioual amendments which the Supreme Court
held we're not properly ratified were seven in
number.
No. l, providing for honest elections, and
fixing the qualifications OF voters, was adopt
ed by 160, ,479 votes in favor to 152, ,3G3 votes

No. 2, to conform the Constitution OF the
State TO that of the United States in regard

No. 8, to change the time of holding the
State elections from October to November,
was adopted by LII, 400 votes to 144,813

No. 4, to strike out the word "wilite"

ties, cities. and towns was adopted by 116.sSl
for to LIZ, 999 against.
The lowest majority for any amendment was
II, tl0; the highest majority. WAS 4, as3.
The Supreme Court has decided thnt none
of the amendments are valid for the reason
that there Is nothing to show that more
voters did not vote OIL the day Of
election last April than appears in
the returns on the amendments, and hence
they cannot know jutiiciaIly that the amend
ments received 4 majority Of all tue electors
Of the State The Court does not know how
many votes were cast at the election OF toWn-
ship officers, nor does any one know, for
the law does not require them to be recorded
or aggregated Thus the Court is able to
dodge behind trivial technic;llity, claiming
that the phrase, 1ajority of the electors u
means majority of all the electors Of the
State, and not simply a majority OF those
who may vote upon q given proposition.
A mass-meeting was held ut the Campaign
Tabernacle tonight by outraged Republic
ans to give vent to their Indignation over the
decision of the Supreme Court by which
they were chiseled out of the opera
tion Of the amendments. There
was considerable feeling manifested in the
meeting, and the sentiment Of one OF the
speakers that the case would be heard again
next October and the position OF the Court
oyertlrown, was loudly cheered.
The speakers were Ralph A. Hill, one OF
the attorneys engaged In the case, who pre-
sided; W. ". Curry, J. Pcellee, Levi Ritter,
and Col. 0. Byrn, formerly secretary to Pres
