DAVID j. BREWER's CASE.
Tho Senate wrnnEllng over His Connrma'
ton for Associate Justice,

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.--The senate, In
secret session, confirmed large NUM-
ber Of nominations. The only nominn.
ton which was debated at any length
was that of David j, Brewer to bo Nsso-
ciute justice Of the United States, More
than un hour was devoted 10 this nomi-
milton, and it went over finally without
action The general impression is that IL
will be confirmed IN tho secret session
to-day.
The objections 20 Judge Brewer were
stated IN the United Press dispatches NJ
at the time they were brought before tho
committee on the judiciary More than
-four years ago Judge Brewer decided the
celebrated kausas brewery cases, In
which the state sought 10 close up the
breweries under Il prohibitory law.
Judge Brewer held In the Muger cuso
that the state could not close up mans
business without paying him for the
plant and the value Of tho business NJ
well, This decision was reversed by the
supreme court of the United States,
which held that IL was within the police
power Of the state 10 close up these
brewerios without conpenBatng their
bNutIbs Nllt hNNlblun utlllk WlhNh VI Nno
principles set forth in the decision Of the
celebrated New Orleans slaughter house
cases.
Since his nomination for the supreme
bench, Judge Brewer has been attacked
continually by temperance advocates
and temperance journals They have
declared that man who would render
such decision was not III TO sit In judg-
ment on the questions that come before
the supreme court. These protests had
some effect on the Judiciary committee
and the nomination was not approved
unanimously in committee In the
secret session several speeches in explain
alton Of Judge Brewers decision were
made. Senator Blair led the opposition
and Senator Ingalls, tho defense. Sena-
tor Plumb was not present at tho session.
When the senate adjourned Mt 1880 IL
was with the understanding that the
nomination would be disposed OF to-day.

LONDON, Dec. ls. Tho verdict in tho
case Of the Cronin murderers Is n prolific
source Of newspaper comment through
out the Kingdom, and Ia productive Of
perfect satisfaction 10 nobody TO the
few journals openly or covortly sympa-
thizing with the prisoners, on various
grounds, the finding Of the jury seems
vindictivO and totally at variance with
the evidence ns they profess 10 interpret
II. Those papers nre Of course dissatis-
fled and are early In the field with pro
diction5 that the convicted men will be
acquitted II they are granted new
trial.
On the other hand the great majority
Of the papers, liberal and conservative,
regard tue penalties fixed by the jury az
ridicuously inadequate TO the enormity
Of the crime the prisoners were convicted
OF, and are consequently inclined 10 ex-
press their great disappointment that tho
wretches are not 10 be hanged forthwith.
Nevertheless they agree that there is
much reason for congratulation that
they are TO suffer life imprisonment aud
predict that no pardoning power will
ever be found having the hardhood TO
defy universal public opinion by miti-
eating the severity Of the Judgment pro-
nounced upon them. Turning their at
tention TO the moral influence Of the
case the Tory papers are pessimistic 10
the last degree in estimating its effect
upon the lrish-Amoricans, several Of the
leading journals declaring that IL is too
much TO hope that even the exposure OF
the aims and methods of Irish societies,
laid bare at the trial, will prevent Amer
leans from subscribing money in large
sums for the support Of those murderous
organizations.

GIGANTIC BOARDS.
Wonderful Figures from the Worlds
Greatest Lumber Region.

--
Wonderful Figures from the Worlds
Greatest Lumber Region.
A lumber pile made Of boards each
100 feet long and six feet in width
would be an unprecedented sigat in
the East, but a gentleman recently re-
turned from a visit to the coast of the
North Pacific Ocean says that piles of
lumber such as that are common to
the mills on Puget sound. Boards
100 feet long and six feet wide, with
out a knot in Them" he said, "are
common cuts from the gigantic fir
trees of the Puget sound forests
These trees grow to the enormous
height OF $50 feet, and the forests are
so vast that although the saw-mills
have been ripping 500, 000, 900 feet of
lumber out of them every year for ten
years, the spaces made by these tre-
mendous inroads seem no more than
garden patches. Puget sound has
1,SOO miles OF shore line, and all along
this line, and extending thence on both
sides miles and Eiles further than the
eye can see, is one vast and almost un-
broken forest of these enormous trees.
There is nothing like it anywhere on
the Pacific coast An official estimate
places the amount OF standing timber
in that area at 800 900, coo, 600 feet, or
a thousand years supply, even at the
enormous rate the timber is now be-
ing fclled and sawed The timber
belt covers 80, 600, 900 acres in Wash
lngton Territory, an area equal TO the
States of Vermont, Massachusetts.
Connecticut and New Hampshire. The
markets for the Puget sound lumber
are entirely foreign, being South
America, Australia, Central America
and the Pacific Ocean islands. -
