WASHINGTON. March BIN the supreme
court to day an opinion was rendered al
lowing the application Of Joseph 4. Kelley
and James IL. Savage for wrifs of habeas
corpus. They were convicted in Arapahoe
county, Colo. of murdera and sentenced 20 be
hanged, The law under which they were
sentenced WAS passed after the commission
Of the crime and il WAS contcnded that il
was e1 post facto aud therefore unconstitu-
,ional and void, In support of this con-
tcntion II was alleged among
other things that the law under
which the sentence was pissed inflicted
greater punishment Than the law IN force
at the time of The commission Of the decd,
in that II added solitary confinement, for
bid relations and friends from visiting the
condemned, and made IL uncertain just
when the convicted men should be hanged,
thereby putting them in fear that each
moment may be their last. The court through
Justice Fuller holds the provisions of the
law do add TO the punishment of cnn-
demned men. and are therefore cX post
facto and void. Solitary confinement, he
says. IN decidedly IN extra punishment, and
has decided tendency 10 nuke men tato-
ons and weak minded. II N therefore
held 10 be the duty of the court Ia discharge
the prisoners, but as there is no question
that thoy were lawfully convicted, the sen
tencc only being Irregular, it IL directed
that the warden Of the peniteutiary notify
the attorney general of The state of the time
Of the release 80 he may Immediately re-
arrest aud bring them Ia trial once

WASHINGTON. March 3.-Dispatches from
Pekin, China, announce that the yiceroy,
Ii Hung Chang, has formulated project
which will mark new era in the Chinese
commercial world, He has decided 10 es
tablish system of silver coinage which
shall be uniform throughout the empire.
The project was favorably viewed by Prime
Minister Prince Chun, and has been sub
mitted TO the emperor and is being urged
by the viceroy. prime minister and most of
the influential and progressive men. A re
porter called nj the Chinese legation 10 in
qure about the matter and was informed
by Ho Shen Chee that this question has
long been under consideration. and was
the pet scheme of Ii Hung Chang. Here
tofore. he said. We have only had copper
currency, ranging in value from mill TO
about a cent. The government never is
sued paper currency. this privilege being
entirely in the hands of private banking
houses. Of gold aud silver coin of our own
We had none, but gold leaf and bars Of gold
as well as Jumps of silver have been in use
az measure of value, and when merchant
or trader desired money he could deposit
them with private banking houses as col
lateral and get the notes of the banking
houses TO use in business. At III seeaports
the English shilling, Mexican dollar and
Japanese ven came into general use, and
this more than anything else suggested the
adyisability of having atsilyer currency Of
our own. | think the intention is 10 coin
silver up 10 the value of one dollar, and the
government also intends 20 grant charters
10 certain banking houses empowering
them 10 issue paper currency something on
the order of your national bank system.
This will greatly simplify business tran
saetions. and will be an aid 10 commerce.

CmoAGo, March 3.-An astonishing COM
munication was made public to-day by
General Secretary Brunnell, OF the Players
National league. The surprise is in the ap-
parent disclosure more or less complete,
that the supposed animosity between the
players organization and the National
league. is largely in the nature of blind 10
the public. The whole thing in nutshell
would appear 20 be that as rumored AT in
teryals since the famous split, tho baseball
men understood the art of forming trust = aud
pools, precisely as practced IN other busi-
ness enterprises. Secretary Bmnncll's letter
is addressed 10 President Young. of the
National league. II gives synopsis of the
PLAYERS schedule, showing tho dates the
eastern clubs play IN the west and vice
versa. and further says that the outline Is
sent 10 the National league so that II can,
II IL 50 choose, avoid conflicting with our
clubs. May also suggest that The National
league adopt resolution permitting its
clubs 90 play against those of the Play
ers' league before and after the cham
pionship season. Such permission granted,
II would also be necessary for the National
league 10 repeal its m-Americun resolution
which hoyc0tts all clubs playing against oar
organization. AS well as any clubs which may
play with club which has playedIagainst

THE WAR IN DAKOTA.


BIsMARcK, n. d.. March Especial. !
Attorney-General Goodwin prepared an
other very elaborate ronst for the senate to-
day. IL WAS submitted 10 the senate, hut
not read, the lottery senators succeeding IN
having il put of till tomorrow. They are
endeayoring TO have il expunged entirely
from the records, and are trying their nj
most 10 screen IL from ventilation in the
press. II is the outcome of n certain bill
introduced in the senate which compels
correspondents or representatives of out
side newspapers in this state 20 be held ro-
sponsible for utterances of libelous char
acter published 10y them. The bill was in
trodnced by the lottery adherents Ia the
legislature Immediately nfter the exposure
Of the Louisiana lottery scheme in the
eastern press. and some OF the members
were SO badly worked up that couple of
correspondents had 10 leave town for per-
sonal safety. The attorney general can
didly tells the lottery friends in the senate
what lie thinks of them, hence the efforts TO
suppress his opinion.
