the inventor hesitated sometime in placing

he is equally satisfied that these effects are

other organic diseases.

without result. The police make no prog

Cork, May 15.-The fund for the reward

LONDON, May 15.-Considerable division
OF opinion exists among the Parnellite
members on the subject of the new coer-
cion bill, several being in favor of with
drawing from parliamentary discussion of
the measure altogether.
Cork, May 15.-Robert DOwdall was ar

GUrTEAU CASE.
what Reed Proposes 10 Do.

WASHINGTON, May !5-In reply to ques-
tons as TO the effect of the late decision,
\ Col. Reed said: "In case the judges of the
| Court in Banc affirm the sentence and de-
| clare the trial regular both as to jurisdic-
tion and to this important error, shall at
once apply for writ of habeas corpus to
some Justice of the Supreme Court and
present the question of Jurisdiction, mas
much as the Supreme Court has no power
to review the record of the court below in
criminal cases, except upon a question
of juriidiction."
RBut the court is not in session and will
not reconvene until October and meanwhile
on such a state of facts the sentence OF
Judge Cox would have been executed"
81 shall apply to one of the Justices of
the court and request HIM to certify the
petition for a writ of habeas corpus to the
full court, on the ground that tits case Of
such importance as to require hearing
before the entire court. III one Justice
should refuse this should try another,
and should then take the certified appeal
to the President of the United States,
and request of him q respite OF the
sentence of Guiteau from June
30 until after the arguments upon the ques-
tion as to the jurisdiction could be heard
before the full Supreme Court in October,
and if any Justice of the Supreme Court
certified up such state of facts the Presi-
dent of course could not refuse the respite.
There certainly is enough prima facie evil
dence TO warrant Supreme Court Justice
in making such a certifcation.'
So it seems that if Mr.. Reeds theories
are correct, and his plans do not miscarry,
Guiteau may not be hung on June 30, even

have bought a bit of British soil on the
upper Pacific coast, where immigrants from
any part of the world can be landed. They
can bring Cinnamon by the hundredor thou
sand to the British possessions and let them
stay there for five years, during which
time they can economically work their
way. BY this time the Chinamea will be
at liberty to become British citizens. Hav'
