UNCLE SANS COURTS.
The Bill To Define Their Jurisdiction
Discussed In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, September 2O.-!The Senate
today resumed consideration of the House
bill to define and regulate the Jurisdiction of
courts of the United States. An amend
ment was offered by Mr.. Dolph providing
that the circuit courts Of appeal in cases in
which judgment is made final. shall have the
same appellate Jurisdiction by writ of error,
or appeal, to review judgments, orders and
DEGREES of the supreme courts Of the several
territories as by the act they may have to re-
view the Judgment, orders and DEGREES Of
the district and circuit courts, and for that
purpose the several territories shall by or
ders of the Supreme Court, to be made from
time to time, be assigned to particular cir
cults. This was agreed to.
Mr.. Dolph offered another amendment
constituting the states OF Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and Idaho the tenth judicial
district, and providing for the appointment
OF two circuit judges therefor.
Mr.. Evarts opposed the amendment as pre-
senting a collateral question only, and as an
embarrassment to the bill.
A vote was taken ON Mr.. DOlph's amend
ment, but as 1t disclosed the absence of a
quorum the roll was called and only 40 Sena-
tors answered, In the meantime, however,
the Senate conferees on the tariff bill were
sent for. and as soon as they arrived quo
rum was obtained and business resumed.
Mr. D0lph withdrew his amendment and
Mr.. Daniel offered one extending the right
OF appeal to the Supreme Court to all cases
OF conviction of felony and to all cases
where the matter in dispute is the right to
personal liberty or the right to the custody
OF child. Without action on Mr.. Daniels
amendment, the bill was laid aside informal
~, and private pension bills on the calendar
taken up. The Senate passed S5 of them in
