THE STATE HAS NO JURISDICTION.
A Missouri Judge Decides That Civic Liquor
Legislation IL Supreme.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. March 6.-Judge
Woodson, of the Criminal Court, decided that
the State has no case against the saToonkeepers
for violating the Newberry law. The first case
in which the decision was rendered, was called
yesterday. He stated that under the law which
the prosecution was being made, it was first
necessary that a saloon man should have dram
shop license from the State and county before
he could violate the Newberry law by running
a pool table in his room; that the revised stat
utes took the control of saloons from the coun-
ty and State and placed them entirely under
the jurisdiction of the city. None of the men
indicted had any State or county licenses and
had therefore violated no State law. The case
will be appealed.

The Civil Service Investigation.

THE cross-examination of ex-Postmaster
Paul, OF Milwaukee, was resumed this
morning by the House Committee investigating
the charges against the Civil Service Commits
sion. Commissioner Roosevelt conducted the
cross-examination. He pressed Mr.. Paul for
an explanation as to how it happened that at
one time in the Milwaukee office. in each of
six certitications for appointment. they were
SO cooked" that six men entitled to be certi-
fed were not certified and six men not entitled
to certification were certified and chosen. Mr..
Paul answered that that was a matter for
the local board to answer. They
were evidently improper certifcations,
he admitted, on the face of the
testimony in the possession of the commission.
While all the certifcations appeared to be
signed BY him on the same day, he contended
that 1t did not follow that he had selected or
appointed the persons on that day. Repre-
sentative Boatner asked witness if any of the
Six persons above referred to. and who were
appointed on February IL, 1883, were appointed
in violation of civil service rules, as the re-
suit of any undue influence brought to bear
upon him. The witness replied that he did not
know any of the six men appointed at the time;
no favoritism was shown, and that in making
the appointments he did not knowingly violate
civil service rules.

Senators Anxious to Make Peace With the
Correspondents - The Secret Session
Fnrce-Other Notes From the Capital.
lFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. March 6.-Nearly all day the
Senate sat gravely and solemnly in execu-
tive session, and talking of almost nothing ex-
cept the vital question of the hour, which Is
whether newspaper correspondents shall be
permitted to Continue sending out reports OF
executive sessions. An idea which sprang
from the fecund brain of Senator Ingalls, was
much thought of, and it may be that before
further steps are taken in the direction of war
his peaceful suggestion may be discussed dur
ing truce. 1t is merely that the Senators and
the correspondents hold a consultation and at
tempt to arrive at some understanding. AS
result OF the deliberations to-day it is probable
this proposition will be made. What is ex-
pected to be gained by it only Senator could
tell, for certainly no correspondent will prom
Use not to send out reports of secret sessions,
and that is what the Senators profess to have
in view. This failing, several propositions, all
of them wild, are held in view. One is to COM
pei certain correspondents to reveal the
medium through which they get reports
of votes and speeches from the star
chamber. and to imprison them for contempt
in case of refusal. This would so highly delight
any Of the correspondents that it is improbable
the Senate will proceed so far. One of the
amusing features of this affair is the assump-
tion of personal proprietorship over the prop
erty OF the people by Senators. They assume
absolute ownership regardless of the rights of
the real owners. They do not remember for
moment that the people want the news; that In
recognition of this popular want an army of
correspondents has been sent here, and that
as the representatives of the people, in
broader sense than Senators are representa-
t1ves, these correspondents were provided with
serving the people as they do, as the Senators
themselves, who often fleece the people The
general opinion seems to be that the farcical
&c OF the Senators will end as farce;
trial of strength between the correspondents
and the Senate. and the people here, if not
elsewhere, who know one element as well as
the otner are greatly Interested in the combat.
