A decision interesting and important to
bo,e,.kecpers and persons living in hotels
w"s made wednesday by the Court OF Ap.
MEALS In Albany. During the winter OF

menis and stole $4,000 worth OF ieweiry,
consistjnp OF watches, diamonds, army
bsdces. rings. and similar articles. AS
George n. Rand, the proprietor OF the
hotel. would not compensate General Han.
,,ock for the articles stolen. the General
brought suit against hun for the value OF
the iewelry In the Supreme Court. Mr.
Rand clajned that he was not liable for the
articles stolen, because he had safe IN the
hotel for the security Of his guests yalua'
bles. and IL the General had kept his pro-
perty I'm this safe IL would not have been
stolen. He further claimed that as General

month. and had them OF 4 less price than II
he had been transient guest. the hotePs
liability a an insurer OF the property oil
guests did not extend to him. General NJ.
II. Mcmahon, General Hanc0ck's counsel,
claimed that il the 81. Cloud Hotel was
liable To transient guests IL was also liable
10 those who took their rooms by The
month. even il they did pay less for them :;
and as there were no notices posted in the
rooms OF the hotel that there was safe in
the Office for the deposit OF valuables, they
were responsible rs insurers Tor the Gen.
erals property.
The case was argued before referee in
1877, and Il has been before the courts ever
since. The first referee was Horatio +.
Avcrill, OF this city. Mr.. Rand claimed
that there were notices posted in the rooms
OF bis hotel about the safe in the Office, ana
he brought an aged chambeT-rnaid 10 swear
TO this fact. The referee rendered deer

cocks favor. but deciding, rs n question oil

appealed the case TO the Supreme Court, ana
a new hearing was ordered before a
referee appointed by the court, Mr.
A.. A. Redteld, who heard the case IN 1878,
and decided IN favor Of General Hancock.
Then IL was Mr.. Rand's turn to appeal. and
he took the case before the general term
OF the Supreme Court, where 1t was re-
argued, and Redfield's decision was con-
firIned. Mr.. Rand made final appeal TO
the State Court OF Appeals, who have rem

WASHINGTON, November 22.--Secretary
Chandler appeared before the Proteus
court OF inquiry to-day. HE testimony
tended to show that the Yantic had taken
large supply Of provisions to Littleton's
Island, and returned with nearly the en-
tire store. With respect to the orders to
Commander Wildes, Secretary Chandler
said that il was customary In the Depart
ment 10 withhold sailing orders until near
the time OF departure. The Yantic went
alongside the dock on the I'd OF june ana
into the dock on the 7th OF June, and CON-
mandcr wildes knew where the ship was
going about as well as anybody connected
with the naval establishment.
After the conclusion OF Secretary cnah-
dlers testimony, General Hazen read re-

posed, he said, TO prove that the froteus
was an excellent vessel for the purpose OF

and provisoned with an abundance OF the
best stores that could be secured; That the
navigators were competent ana expert
enced. and that all testimony to the cou-
trarv was ill-advised. In relation TO this
I lp SAID. Dt DtulltE vi an thio

of inquiry is that failure to do those
duties properly would subject me,

ton. TO trial by general court-martial,
which would amply deserve. neglected
none OF those duties, and when that fact is
questioned the right to prove in the most
unequiyoca manner that did not neglect

substance in your letter that so long rs It Is
shown in courr that proper efforts were
made by the chief signal officer to do all
these things, he would not be held ac-
countabIe for what might happen after
wards. The world, as well as this court,
places q very different estimate upon man
who tries 10 do his work well and does it
| from one who does not do it well, no mat
ter how hard he tries. ] can prove to this
court beyond all reasonable doubt that my
duties were performed faithfully"
DR.. HARRISON, surgeon OF the Proteus,
was next placed upon the stand. His tes-
| timony was to The effect that the crew OF
the Proteus was very poor and "behaved

WASHINGTON, November 22.-The Ere-
nina Star publishes an interview with Mr..
Carlisle upon the speakership contest, in
which the latter is quoted rs saying, in
substance, that he did not believe the Sec
tional question would have any influence
upon the result OF the contest. or that the
southern members could be scared by the
bloody shirt into voting against their con-
victions. He was satisfied that sectional
ism was dead, and that no effort could re-
vive it. He believed the agitation OF il
would only make the Democrats more de-
termined TO elect him.
The Star also publishes an interview with
Mr.. Randall, in which he is quoted as say
ing that he did not raise the sectional ques-
ton, but that, on the contrary, he depre.
Gated and condemned it. To friend he
said he would rather I've defeated fol
Speaker than elected upon an issue that
revived sectionalism.
