The Facts to be Placed Before the United
States Supreme Court.
SAN Francisco, August 2Sth-There was
a small audience of attorneys and curiosity
seekers in the United States Circuit Court
this morning when the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings of David Nagle were again called.
Justice Field was present unaccompanied,
and Nagle, in charge of Marshal Franks,
sat with his large array of counsel.
Judge Sawyer asked if the attorneys en-
gagged in the Nagle case had reached any
agreement as to when they would commence
to take testimony as to the killing of Judge
Terry, when MIR. Turner, of Modesto, who
alone appeared for the State, arose and said
that be had not made any arrangements as
yet. IF your Honors please" he added,
looking at the seats where his associates,
ex-Judge Mcguire and District Attorney
White sat the other day, ait seems as
though | have been left alone in this case.
Mr.. White informs me that he does not
think it his duty to look after the rights of
the State, and Judge Mcguire, who was
engaged, as | was to argue only the iuris-
diction of the Court, has withdrawn. l
expected when l came here that we would
settle the jurisdiction question before going
to any other matters, and that, in fact, was
the only point in which l am interested.
1t seems, however, that the Court takes
different view, and as I do not wish to
spend my time ascertainlng facts in a mat
ter where l dispute the authority of the
Court, l may as well announce my with
draWal also from the case"
Judge Mesick said, under his breath,
"Very well"
The Court, however, explained itself:
The Court takes the view of which you
haN GTNn ~ uarN sold T,,l.. Al
cause 1t thinks that course will materially
shorten this inquiry. Beyond all doubt,
no matter what the result here, this case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court.
We think the questions involved are suf.
lclently grave to justify an appeal any,
how. Now, if we hear argument on the
demurrer alone and an appeal is taken on
that, the decision of the Supreme Court
will not be final, because there will be
other points to raise, and thus the matter
will be taken up piecemeal. We desire to
take the testimony as to the facts, hear all
the arguments upon the demurrer and
make up stenographic record for the Su-
preme Court, upon which it can finally de-
termine all the questions here involved.
That course, it seems to us, is the shortest
and only proper way to proceed. How
ever, If counsel for the State withdrags
the time for taking testimony NAV be
fixed by the other counsel. Gentlemen,
what time will suit your convenience"
3. Nj. Wilson stated that it would be con-
venlent for him to begin on Monday next.
Judge Sabin said he would not be here
on that day, and Mr.. Wilson named Tues
day, at II o'clock.
Judge Sawyer said be would preside
during the taking of the testimony, as his
associate would probably be engaged, and
that both would arrange TO listen to the
arguments. The examinations will take
place in Judge Sawyer's chambers
q. A. Alderman asked for an order sum-
moning witnesses, which was granted, and
the Court adjourned.

nual State Fair.
FRESNO, August 28th.-Extensive prep.
arations are being made for the County
Far, which begins the first week in Octo-
ber. Space for exhibits is being taken at a
lively rate, and it promises to be the best
display in all departments ever made in the
San Joaquin valley. Twelve thousand dol
lars will be given in purses and premiums.
The special features include baby show.
The electric fire alarm system will be
adopted here shortly. Several systems are
now on trial. 1t is badly needed, as the
department turns out quite frequently on
false alarms, and cannot be easily apprised
of the location when fire does break out.
Fresno county will come to the fore with
an excellent exhibit for the State Fair, and
will bid high for first premium for county
exhibits, with a fine display of wines, dried
and green fruits, nuts, grapes, raisins, grain,
etc.

COLLECTOR OF DUTIES.

The Secretary of Treasury Wants a Strict
Classification of Imports.
WASHINGTON, August 2Sth-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has issued an order to
Collectors of Customs referring to erroneous
classitications made by them in the interest
of seizures made under a department
circular of January 90, 1887. 1t appears
that many articles are imported through
the mails, the classification of which is not
well defined, aud Collectors have released
them upon the payment of a fine equal in
amount to the duty. This is considered bv
them as proper, without due regard to clas-
sihcation. Collectors are enjoined to study
carefully the classifcations, so as not to re-
lease goods for less than is due for them
under the tariff schedule.

The Story About San Francisco's Post
office Denied in Washington.
WASHINGTON, August 25th.-The rumor
that the Treasury Department had selected
a site for the new public building at San
Francisco, and that a. d. Rookie had been
selected as the contractor to construct it, is
without foundation. The last appropria.
ton for the building was not sufficient to
purchase a suitable site, and although a
Commission has been appointed with the
view to select it, nothing can be done till
Congress meets, nor can any contract be let
until the plans and specifications have
been prepared. The rumor probably arose
from the fact that few days since a va
cancy took place in the Commission, neces-
stating the appointment of a new man.
