WASHINGTON. May 2S.-The SUI

writ OF error in the case OF Ilemmlor IN
der sentence Of death by electricity. opin'
ion by Chief Justice Fuller.
The court held that change in the fora
Of death was within the legitimate sphere
of the legislative power Of the State. The
legislature of the State OF New York de-
termined II did not inhieta cruel and TN
usual punishment. aud is courts nave
sustained that determination. This court
cannot sec that the prisoner has been de-
prived of due process OF law. In order to
reverse the Judgment this court should be
compelled TO hold that the cour; OF appeals
committed an error 80 gross as to deprive
prisoners OF their constitutional rights.
The court has no hesitation in saying they
cannot do this.
The case will next come up before United
States Circuit Judge Wallace, who made
an order 70 operate a. stay Of proceed

Newfoundland Is Mad.

LONDON, May 26.-Lord Kuutiord,
the colonial secretary, has received an an
gry address to the Queen from the
Newfoundland legislature. The address
protests in the loudest manner against
French aggressions, bounties and Snug
elings, which it says the English govern
ment appears TO tolerate and absolutely
declines 10 consent 10 the arbitration of
the lobster dispute. The legislature calls
upon the imperial government to cause the
removal of the obstetrics and stop all fish

threatening to take its own measures If

Prohibition Students.

yERMnLIoS, 5. o.. May 26.-This
morning there occurred a very singular
demonstration. AT ten O'Clock was to
have occurred the hearing OF G. l. Salmer
for a druggists permit to sell liquor under
the new prohibition law. The students OF
the university, to the number Of two hun
bred and fifty, cut their classes and with
banners paradei the streets Of the town
Fully half the number were young ladies.
Some of the notices were as follows

the Saloon ~ ave Are the People," BE
hold Our Fate In connection with the
following inscription was a huge dragon
and a large bottle with snake crawling
from the neck-"Spirit Of Education or
Spirit of Alcohol Other notices Of like
character decorated fifty or more banners.
II was a mighty protest. as Salmer has
been a yiolator of the liquor laws made for
the protection OF the university for the
past three years.
After the parade the students and citi-
gems filed the court and the case was
called, Judge Girard Runyan presiding.
MIR. Salmer asked for a continuance in
order to procure counsel and by consent
the hearing was adjourned until Thursday.
The students were angry because of the
adjournment and at once took up collec-
ton 10 procure good legal talent. The end
is not yet, as Mr.. Salmer says he will try
and have the ring-leaders arrested If any
intimidation is attempted next week.

The Opposition of Catholics to the

this morning several speeches We're made
H. J. Spannhorst, OF St Louis, SAID the
Bennett law presented political question
which Catholics could not ignore, because
it directly affected the welfare OF their IN
situations.
Bishop Flasch. in his address, referred
to the Bennett law and upheld the right OIL
the church to go into politics when It's IN
terests were attacked.
He was followed by Bishop Kaiser, oil
Green Bay, who attacked the Bennett Ia"
in the bitterest manner. He said the ~"
practically denied the right of q chhu 10

in the child than the State. The Governor
and his little German boy will be wei
taken care of by their parents if the State
will let them alone"

NO STAMPS EXCHANGED.
The Government Will Redeem Stamped
Envelopes, but Not Stamps.

Some people have an idea that the govern
ment redeems postage stamps when from any
cause they become unfit for use or are difficult
to use. Frequently sheets of stamps are stuck
together. or are torn or injured. The loss, if
any, falls upon the owner, as the government
refuses to assume any responsibility Of stamps
when once sold The agents Of the govern
ment, the postmasters, can redeem stamps
which they have for sale, if through any acct
dent they become unfit for use. But when the
citizen buys a stamp he either uses it in the
legitimate way or else he is out the value of
the stamp. The government, however. re-
deems stamped envelopes. II one should hap
pen to be misdirected or should become
Diotted or for any reason a person should wish
to tear open a stamped envelope after he had
sealed IL for mailing, he can bring it to the
post office and get a brand-new envelope in its
place. The reason for this difference in the
treatment OF the adhesive stamp and the
stamped envelope is that the adhesive stamp
can be used and then washed and passed as
good. unless a careful scrutiny is made. II the
government should begin the practice of re-
deemlng adhesive stamps, the opportunities
for fraud would be increased. Then the adj
heslve stamps are manufactured at q cost to the
government, which the stamped envelope 10
not. The stamps are furnished to the public at
the face value and out of this has to come the
cost Of manufacture. but in the case of stamped
envelopes they are sold at their face value plus
the cost OF manufacture.

2 Til STAR has a larger and fuller ~circula-
ton in the city where printed, in proportion to

other newspaper tie world. 1t is essentially
a home paper, the extent to which it is relied
