The decision Of the Supreme Cour, upon the

The decision Of the Supreme Court upon the
preliminary question in the Sayward case dis
poses OF the technical point that the Alaskan
court is not "a district court of tho United
States" and that the Supreme Court cannot
issue a writ of prohibition to it. The court
decides that il has the power TO issue this writ
on a proper showing. and gives the British
government the opportunity to make this
showing. What Great Britain gains by
the decision is the chance to be
heard. Apparently there is still oppor-
tunity to contend that the record of the
proceedings of the Alaskan court is such that
its jurisdiction cannot be questioned. no mat
ter what the facts may be. PROFESSIONALLY the
decision has not discredited or weakened IN
any respect the force of the contention that the
extent of the dominion of the United States in
Boring sea- which is the point at issue. Is po-
Htical question to be decided in conformity
with the decision of the political departments
of the government Great Britain is to be
heard but there is not the slightest indication
that the Supreme Court when it comes to de-
eide whether or not the writ shall issue will not
adhere to the precedents and rule of common
sense which bind il to follow the conten-
tions of the executive and legislative depart
menfs upon questions of national jurisdiction
in controversy with foreign governments. The
main interest of the United States government
is to prevent a decision by the Supreme Court
upon the merits of the question which shali
put two Of its departments at loggerhcads.
Since a decision of this court sustaining the
American diplomatic contention. on its merits
would not bind England. while an adverse de-
cision would weaken. perhaps overthrow. the
contention Of the American political depart
ments, nothing but disadvantage can result
to us from the consideration Of the merits of the
controversy by our supreme judicial tribunal.
The court after it has heard the argument may
refuse to express its own views upon the merits
of the controversy, sustaining the American
position on the ground that the question in
volved is political. and has already been decided
so as to bind all branches of this government,
by its political departments John Bull has
been told that he may have the opportunity to
propose his new game of ''heads l win. tails
you lose" but it does not follow that Uncle
Sam is going to play il.

the South, journalism and other subjects

mated and managed the canvass and

Some idea of the prevailing dullness of
the stock exchange can be cleaned from
the fact that only 10000 shares were sold
up to noon to-day. st. Paul, Louisville &
Nashville; Burlington, New England IL
Rock Island contributed the most to this
total. In the early trading the tone was
firm and prices advanced to per cent,
but after 1890 the little show Of strength
disappeared and cn q subsequent selling
of New England e Lackawanna prices
declined to per cent. by midday. There
was absolutely no feature of interest III
connection with the dealings. At this
writing the market Is dull and but little
changed from prices current ut noon.

william Cross, the Condemned Wife
Murderer, Granted New Trial.
In the Court in General term this
morning, with Judges Bingham Mont
gomery and James on the Bench, William
Douglass Cross, who, in April, 1890, was
found guilty of the murder of his wife,
Hattie Cross, was given a new trial. The
case was one of considerable interest and
was sentenced to be hanged on
the 9th Of January last and
his attorneys, C. Maurice Smith and
Joseph Shillipgton, argued a motion for a
new trial, which was overruled by Judge
Bingham. They then carried the case to
the Court in General Term OH bill of ex-
ceptions, and Cross was granted II respite
until the 10th day of April.
The ground on which the new trial Is
granted was on account of the misconduct
Of the District Attorney in attempting to
woman made a declaration duplicating
her husband when there was no such
declaration or evidence produced to sup
port il.
In fact, The woman, at the time of her
death, was not in fit mental condition
to make declaration.
There were u number of Cross friends
in the court room at the time the decision
was given including Rev. Mr.. Roberts
his spiritual adviser. The latter immedi-
ately hurried to the Jail and informed
Cross that he had been granted a new
lease of life. The prisoner received the
glad news without any marked demon
stration. lie grasped his visitors hands
tightly and said that he had been conf
dent all the time that Justice would be
done him in the higher court.

the case IL will not necessarily mean an

some excellent constitutional lawyers who
are near the Supreme Court that
the Supreme Court Justice and the Circuit
Court Judge already in Office forming a
quorum can in each case organize the
new court in June, as required by the
act, and that the appointment of the
new judges can 30 over until
next winter when Congress will be
In session. These same authori-
ties hold that the law is bungling aud
awkward and that about half of it will be
imperative. Such rs IL is, however, II can
be put III operation by the two judges

Of an extra Senate session and avoid
