TOM ToNG's CIVIL RIGHTS.
A Chinaman Seeks Writ of Habeas Cor.
pus from the Supreme Court.


pus from the Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, May IA decision was
rendered in the Chinese civil rights case No.
1920, ex parte Tom Tong, petition for a writ
OF habeas corpus. This case comes here
upon certificate of division of opinion be-
tween the judges of the United States Circuit
Court, for the district of California. Tom
Tong, the petitioner, a subject of the
Emperor of China was arrested and i'm
prisoned in San Francisco on the 18th of
January last for ignoring and refusing to
obey an ordinance of the board of super
visors to regulate the licensing and mainten-
ance OF a public laundry in that city. He
petitioned the United States Circuit Court
for writ of habeas corpus on the ground
that he was unlawfully arrested, and was
deprived of his liberty in contravention of
the constitution of the United States
and of the Burlingame treaty.
The judges of the Circuit Court
the questions raised by the petition, aud
they therefore certified such questions to this
court for its judgment. This court holds
that the only questions which may be certi-
fed to it on division of opinion before
Judgment are those which grow out of the
| lIldt VI nearing Oi Il criminal proceeding De-
fore circuit court. In the present case the
petitioner is held under criminal process
and the prosecution against him is crimi-
| nal prosecution, but the writ of habeas cor
pus which he seeks is not a proceeding in
that prosecution. On the contrary, it is a
new SUIT brought by him to enforce the civil
right which he claims as against those who
are holding him in custody under a criminal
process This court has no jurisdiction of the
case In its present form, and must remand it
| to the Circuit Court for further proceedings
according to law. Opinion by Chief Justice
! Waite.a
In a closely allied case, ex parte Hung
Hong, which is petition for writ OF habeas
corpus filed as an original action in this
court and which grows out of precisely the
same state of facts, the court holds that, ex-
cept in cases affecting ambassadors or other
public ministers or consuls, and those in
which the State is party, it can issue writ
only for the purpose of reviewing the deci-
| sion of some inferior officer or court. This
petition presents no such case, and the writ
is therefore denied. Opinion by Chief Jus-
| tice Waite.

The Railroad Transportation Question Not
Decided

WASHINGTON, May Judge Lawrence,
first comptroller OF the treasury, has not yet
decided the important question whether the
earnings for government transportation on
subsidized lines leased by the Pacific rail-
road companies can be withheld, as is now
the practice of the Treasury Department, or
whether the amounts shall be paid the COM
panies in cash. The amounts withheld for
such transportation on unaided lines of the
Union Pacific from July 1, 1873, (the date
when the Thurman act went into operation)
to December, 1S81-82, is $4,000, and the
sum withheld from the unsubsidized branch
es OF the Central Pacific from the date when
the Thurman act took effect to December 81,
1881 amounts to 1918, 00O The figures have
not been made up beyond dates specified.

Change in the Manner of Rewarding these

LONDON May I'm the Commons this af-

stead of the pensions which it was proposed
to bestow upon Lords Wolseley and Alces-

manner of rewarding the military and naval
leaders of the late movement against the
