MORE JUDGES NEEDED.

Movement to Secure Two More We bers
of the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON. Dec. ia proposition
is under consideration in judicial circles
to provide for increasing the member
ship of of the supreme court from nine
to eleven. The subject is being talked
over by certain members of the senate
Judiciary committee, and the outcome
may be bill to reOrganize the supreme
court and make the additions mentioned.
The enlargement of the court is held to
be necessary because of the rapid in
crease in the business from the state
courts; besides. the new states win add
largely to the number of cases on the
supreme court docket
If the reorganization of the court is
sanctioned by congress, it is probable
that at least three of the present mem
bers of the court-Justices Miller. Field
and Bradley-will avail themselves of
the privilege Of retiring on full pay, thus
giving the president an opportunity to
appoint five new judges. It is also pro-
posed to increase the jurisdiction of the
circuit courts with view to reducing
the number Of appeals to the supreme
court. Various schemes have been sug-
gested with a view to accomplishing this
purpose, but it seems almost impossible
to curtail the work of the court, hence
the proposed increase in the member
ship. It is not known how the members
of the court regard the proposition, but
as they complain of being overworked,
they will probably welcome two addi-
tiOnal justices.

SUPREME COURT.
gued. Important Railroad De- q
cision bv Chief Justice Stone.

The following Montgomery specia.
appeared in the Birmingham Chronicle
Yesterday:
MONTGOMERY, Dec. 12,-The Hawes
case is being argued before the supreme
court to- day. Mr.. Altman opened the
argument, and Solicitor Hawkins is
speaking now. He will be followed by
Attorney General Mcclellan and Col
Taliaferro.
The supreme court rendered a decis-
ion of unusual importance this morning
in the case of the Memphis and Char
lesion Railroad Company against Will
liam H. Wood and others. The opinion
is by Chief Justice Stone. The court
holds that the East Tennessee, Virginia
aud Georgia Railroad Company, though
having acquired q majority Of the stock
OF the Memphis and Charleston, can't
vote that stock in the election of officers.
The court does not decide that one
railroad corporation cannot acquire the
stock of another, but that such stock
cannot be voted in the election of|oficers

PIrTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 13.-J. Max
Schamberg, Austro-Hungarian consul at
Pittsburg, expects to receive orders from
the government of Galicia to collect evil
dence and probably forward witnesses
for the trial of 300 government officials
who are charged with making common
cause with certain steamship and rail-
way lines in forcing about 35, 900 men,
women and children to emigrate to
America. These government officials,
some of them of high rank, received a
bonus for each emigrant transported.
Treason was the favorite charge on which
the heads of families were frightened
into selling their humble homes and flee
ing the country.
About $4,000 of these people have
come to Pittsburg within the past two
years, and the majority are working in
the Connellsville coke regions. The
gendarmes at four points on the Galician
frontier were either bribed or their i'm
prisonment secured on false charges, and
through these outlets the poor peasants,
without passports, were driven over the
mountains in droves, put on freight
trains and carried to Hamburg, where
they were shipped to America.
