AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Which is Trife Disadvantageous to
Ship Masters.

Ship Masters.
SEATTLE, w. T., March 23.-[Special.l ]
An important decision was just rem
dered by United States Commissioner
Smith, of Seattle, in the case of the
United States against six sailors of the
ship Fannie Tucker, charged with dis
obedience and disorder. The only
authority for the punishment of sea
men is the act of Congress of 1872,
known as the shipping Commissioner
Act" which defines the reciprocal duties
of Master and Seamen. In 1874 Con
gress passed an amendatory law which
prescribed that none of the provisions
of the act of 1872 relating TO Shipping
Commissioners, Seamen and Masters,
shall apply to vessels engaged in the
the coast trade. So far as coast vessels
are concerned, it was urged that the law
of 1872 was practically repealed and
that there was no law by which the
acts complained of could be punished.
The Commissioner decided this ground
well taken, and the sailors were dis
charged. According to this decision
no Master has any protection from dis
obedience, desertiOn or mutiny.

CHICAGO. Ill, March 23-[Special.l +
After a separation of half a century,
George B. Ryerson and his only child

years both believed the other to be
dead. Mr.. RyersOn was brother OF

Fifty years ago he left his wife and
daughter in Patterson, N. j., and went
to Florida and enlisted as soldier in
the Seminole war, He was wounded
and for many months was at the point
of death without friends or money and
it was long time before he reached
home. Then he learned that his wife,
believing him dead, had moved away.
after long and fruitlesS search, Mr.
Ryerson went to Mexico and remained
there many years. He accumulated
considerable property and then moved
to California, where he lived until his
brother Martin discovered him, six
wears ago, and induced him to come to
Chicago. Recently Mr.. Ryerson sue
ceeded in tracing his only child. She is
Mrs. Surfer, and resides at NeWburg,
N. Y. In response to telegram she
came to Chicago, arriving late last
night. Her mother died long ago, and
until last week she had not the faintest
suspicion that her father was alive.
Mr.. Ryerson, although SO years OF age,
is hale and hearty.

No RndCe for Veterans.

Among the supreme court decisions hand
ed down on the 18th inst. Is that denying q
mandamus in the ease of Whitney X Saun-
ders to compel the Grand Rapids township
board 20 approve their saloon bond. The
reason for Withholding approval was that
their business was in violation OF an act of
the legislature Of 1887, which prohibited the
sale of ntoXicants within one mile OF the
soldiers home institution. The REALTORS
claimed the law To be an invasion OF prop
erty rights and in violation OF the state
constitution and the fourteenth amendment
10 the United States constitution, depriv
ing them Of property without due process
Of law, etc, and therefore void. Justice
Morse writes an opinion, denying the man
damus in which Justices Long aud Champ
lin concur, upon the ground that the legis-
lature has full power 10 pass laws regard
ing the control of state institutions and the
welfare of its inmates, which has never
been questioned, and that this law is clearly
in line with this, and therefore not in con
hict with the state constitution.
Chief Justice Sherwood files a separate
opinion, practically sustaining the law upon
the ground that il was simply an exercise
IF the police power of the state, and the
wholesome effect of the natural exercise OF
this power is 50 far reaching that II con
hcts with no constitutional right.
Justice Campbell files "a dissenting opin
ion, taking the ground that no property
rights are involved. il being simply whether
the legislature has the power 10 pass a law,
applicable 70 any particular person or local
ity, which does not bear equally upon all
the citizens and in all the territory. In his
opinion il has not, and the REALTORS should
should have the relief prayed for and the
writ should issue
