THE DEATH SENIENCE AFFIRMED BY TIE UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT.
Ten or twelve decisions were rendered by the
Supreme Court of the United States to-day, but
none Of them were Of general interest except that
in the case OF Hugh M. Brooks alias W. H. Max
well against the State or Missouri. This Is the
famous MaXwell-Preller murder case. Brooks, or
Maxwell, the plaintiff in error, is now in prison in
the city OF st. Louis, under sentence OF death for
the murder OF c. Arthur Preller in April 1885,
The was brought to this court upol, a writ OF
error to the supreme Court OF Missouri and the
decision here Is upon motion made by the at
tOrney general or that state to dismiss for want
or jurisdiction. This court is unable, after care
ful examination OF the record. to ind that the
plantiff In error has been deprived OF any right,
privilege or immunity guaranteed to him by the
Constitution OF the United States and the motion
to dismiss for want OF jurisdiction is. therefore,
granted. The decision was announced by CHIEF
Justice Waite and its effect is to affirm the SEN
tence OF death pronounced by the state court.

California In the Field.

Representatives Thompson and Biggs and
Messrs Edw'd Curtis L L. Bullock, Gen. Rose
Grams, Jack Montgomery, and Frank L SULLIVAN
nave been appointed q committee by the Demo.
cratic State Club OF California to urge the claims
OF san Francisco as q suitable place for holding
the national democratic convention this year. AS
California never does anything by halves, the
democrats OF that state offer TO defray the ex-
penses OF all the delegates to and from San Fran
cisco, and TO pay their hotel bills while there.
Another argument they use is that, as there Is no
contest over the presidential nomination, Mr..
Cleveland's denomination being assured, the trip
10 California Will be simply pleasure talnt which
VIII give the leading democrats OF the nation an
opportunity OF seeing the gl0rtes Of the Golden
state and partake OF the unb0unded hospitality OF
her people. They say a number OF national as
semhlages have already been held In san Fran
CISCO. The trt.annual c0nclave OF Knights Temp
lar met there three years ago; the Grand Army OF
the Republic held Its annual meeting therein 1666
and the National Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton met In San Francisco last year. AnU these
organizations, they say, were moro than pleased
that they did, as the committee believe the ma
eide TO meet In California this year.

The Waler.Main Tax.


MICHAEL OBRIEN's PROTEsT-wHAT THE COMMITS
sIONERS SAY ABOUT THE LAW.
Michael O'Brlen OF 1901 street northwest has
written to the Commissioners protesting against
the assessment on part lot 2, square 72, for the
cost OF laying water main on L street, from 2lst
street to alley for the reason that 1t Is unjust to
assess this property until such time as water
main Is laid on the north side OF the street. He
therefore asks that the present assessment be set
aside. Mr.. O'Bren also says the Waterman taxes
In this case are not uniform, and while willing to
pay the cost Of laying water mains thinks his
property should be afforded the same conveniences
given to that OF others.
In answer to Mr.. O'Briens letter the Commits
sioners reply as follows: 'The law relating to as
sessment OF Waterman tax provides that such tax
accrues TO all property binding upon any part Of
the street where the main is laid, and makes no
distinction as TO the position OF the main, whether
In center or on side OF the street. The law Is man
datory, and gives no discretionary power to Dis
tr1ct authorities"
In Capt symon's endorsement on the protest he
says: The law Is specific, and has been interpre-
Ted Dy the district attorney to mean that when q
main Is laid in an avenue, street or alley all the
property abutting thereon must be assessed. The
particular location OF the main cannot be con-
side ed. There Is no legal means OF relieving Mr.
O'Brien from what he considers an unjust tax"
