The Case of Justice Field Postponed Until
Next Tuesday.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. Aug. 22.-The
hearing of the petition for habeas corpus
in the case of Justice Stephen J. Field,
of the United States supreme court, has
been postponed until Tuesday next week,
when the question as to the jurisdiction
of the Federal and state courts will be
argued. The United States circuit court
room was crowded this forenoon in an
ticipation that the question as to
the suficiency of the warrant for the ar
rest of Justice Field would be decided,
and while counsel for the latter desired
that the testimony should be at once
heard to determine whether there was
any evidence whatever justifying the de-
tention Of Justice Field in connection
with the killing Of David s. Terry, OPP
posing counsel contended that the ques-
ton as to the jurisdiction of the Federal
court in the case should first be decided.
The case then went over and that ques-
ton will be argued before any testimony.

Was 1t Suppressed.

NEw YORK, Sept. "a profound SEN
sation has been created by the develop
ment that the petition of Mrs. May
brick to the queen, praying for pardon
for the sake OF her two children and her
mother and protesting in the most SOL
emn words her innocence of the crime
imputed to her, never reached her
majesty, but was suppressed at the
home office. The home secretary will
be rigidly questioned concerning th$
matter upon the reassembling of parlia-
ment. Another discovery is that while
the agitation for pardon was progress
an official of the home office went to
Liverpool and secretly interviewed
Nurse Yapp and several other witnesses
for the prosecution with the view of
securing further testimony against the
unfortunate woman, and which from one
cause or another had not come out in
court. Prominent lawyers say that this
course of procedure was unprecedented
and the developments have given an ad-
ditional impetus to the movement to-
ward securing the full and uncondi-
tional pardon of tho convicted woman.

A Burglar Has Rights.

cost, in his address to his congregation,
In Newark, Sunday, seemed to think the
enterprising burglar was entitled to
some consideration. He said that If he
discovered burglar in his house he
would go up to him, light in hand and
hands appraised to show that he was un-
armed, and then he would demonstrate
with him on the wickedness of his ways.
If this was of no avail he would tell tho
burglar to help himself to the things
he wanted, and would then kindly show
him to the door and bid him call again.
In regard to fallen women, he said that
they should be taken to the homes and
firesides and talked to kindly. 'We are
not good enough he said. "not good
enough to take the poor creatures by
the hand and try to lead them to bet
ter life" He said criminals should be
left to nature, and nature would punish
them.

that in the case of several of the men

questioned they have developed a greater
knowledge of their antecedents and

cution. Whence these funds come may
be developed in the course of the trial.

Starving Miners.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Henry d. Lloyd,
formerly on the editorial staff of Chi
cago morning paper, has been invcsti-
eating the condition of. the destitute
miners at Spring Valley for several days
and makes an appeal through the press
on their behalf. He says: ''There is
greater need than ever of help for these
people. There are thousands there suf-
fering for food, clothing and medicine.
The most of tho sufferers are children,
and most of the children are little ones.
There arc families where adults and
children are grievoully sick and without
medical attendance and medicines,
because there is no money to
pay for them. The men at Spring
Valley, Mr.. Lloyd says, are not
strikers. They are victims OF the
lockout. Last Christmas 1000 Of them
were shut out of work by an order clos
ing part of the mines. For the rest OF
the winter the other miners divided
their work with these unfortunates.
This lasted until April. Then the COM
munity, exhausted by this strain OF sup
porting three men and their families on
the earnings Of two men, received its
final blow. April 30, without previous
notice, all the miners were told to take
away their tools and the mines were
closed. They had no thought or plan
of striking; they were not even given
the chance OF working for lower wages.
From the day they received this notice
until w. l.. Scott, of Erie, made his re-
cent offer to them of reduction of
wages from 90 cents ton to the equiv
alent of 55 cents or less, coupled with a
demand that they give up their
labor unions, these men have been
waiting in involuntary idleness to
learn what was their fate. Before the
lockout they earned, according to the
| figures given me-" says Mr.. Lloyd,
''about $50 a month. According to the
| figures given by an official of the COM
pany they earned about S43. If these
were their earnings at 90 cents ton,
what would they be at 55 cents?
| "That community of 5000 persons
in the state of Illinois is in the throes
of starvation" adds the appeal, "and
has been SO for months, is a public
scandal and catastrophe which would
seem to demand as prompt and thor
| ough aCtlon from the government ana
the people as the Johnstown disaster,
and trust the press and public will
use all their influence to request the
governor to recognize tho emergency by
action within his power. There must
be some funds at his disposal for such
an emergency. A personal inspection
of this battle of 5000 persons with
death would, I am convinced, spur the
governor to instant action. Whatever
the merits of the dispute as to wages,
the starving must be fed and the chill
dren saved"

Condition of Western Trad dc.

CHICAGO, Sept. THAT the condition
of trade in the west is eminently satis-
factory, and that the rumors of impend-
ing trouble are without any solid founda-
ton, is abundantly demonstrated by the
unexpectedly favorable reports which
have been issued by some OF the leading
railroads during the past few days. The
Burlington, for example, gained $780,,
600 during July and is ahead over
$4,000, ,ooo on the year. The gross earn
ings of the Chicago and Northwestern
for August show an increase of nearly
Sl5o.ooo, while the net earnings for the
past three months are the largest i'll its
history. The earnings of the Rock
Island for three weeks in August were
$4,000 in excess of last year. The in
dications are moreover, that the i'm
provcment will continue until the end
of thp war

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 7.-George
Haven, jr., of New York, and Miss
Elizabeth Shave Ingersoll, youngesa
daughter of Ex-Governor Charles r
Ingersoll, were married twice today by
Rev. DIR. Harwood, of Trinity Episcopal
church, at the Jngersoll mansion on
Elm street. The time set for tho
wedding was 1890, and when that hour
arrived it was discovered that Mr..
Haven had neglected to purchase a
wedding ring. Rather than have the
ceremony delayed Mrs. Ingersoll loaned
her ring and with it her daughter was
married. No sooner had DIR. Harwood
completed the ceremony than Mr..
Haven purchased a ring, and with his
bride quietly withdrew for few mo.
mcnts from among the guests and again
DIR. Harwocd read the marriage ccre-
mony over them, marrying them with
the recently purchased ring. The bride,
aside from being the daughter of an cx-
governor of this state, is a grandaugh-
ter of Rear Admiral Gregory.

Gently, were commenced in the United

that thatlife of Justice Field had been

Terry had every reason to believe that
unless he did so these threats would be
carried out, and in acting as he did he
merely did bis duty as sworn officer Of
