WASHINGTON, May a5.-[Speciall-
Justice Harlan to-day gave decision
for the Supreme Court in the case of
Ward McAllister against the United
States.
McAllister was removed from Office
as Judge of the district court for Alaska
by President Cleveland, and claims
salary from the time of his removal to
the qualification of Dawson, who was
confirmed as his successor. One cues
ton in the case was whether Judge of
an Alaska court came within the pro-
vision of section 1868, authorizing tho
PRESIDENT to suspend all civil off cor,
except judges of the United States"
The court holds that the Alaska
court is not court of the United States
in the constitutional sense, as set forth
III tho third article OF the constitution.
but is a territorial court Tho fact that
the term of Alaskan judges is limited to
four years, and that they do not hold
Office for life or during good behavior,
the court says, proves that it is not a
court of the United States, as the term
is consttutionally used. Judgment is
therefore given in favor of the United
States.
Justice Field and Justices GRAY and
Brown disSented in an opinion, in which
Justice Field maintained that the mere
will of the Presider vas not sufficient
to remove judge of court created by the
United States, and that tho constitution
did not contemplate that Judges should
be responsible to any man for their con-
tinuance in office. 1t seemed to him
that some of his brethren overlooked the
character Of the judicial branch of the
government when they made distinction
against the courts OF territories. These
courts had similar power and there was
the same necessity that they should use
their office fcarlessly and without fear
OF offending any President, lest they
should DO removed. The case of Win
gard, justice Of tho Washington Terri
tory court, was decided the same way.
The Supreme Court also upholds the
constitutionality of the original package
law as passed by Congress- 1t is not
necessary for the State of Kansas to re-
enact its prohibitory law after the pas
sage of the congressional act in order to
shut out liquor in original packages.

Reports received here from Keiff in

strong that Hebrews entitled to reside

WAsHINGroN. May 25.-[Speciall-
The fact that no information was ro-
celved at the Navy Department to-day
from the Charleston is taken as an indi-
cation that She has gone on down the
peruvian coast stewards Callao. Respec-
ting reiterated statements coming from
Paris to the effect that the insurgents
have arranged to surrender the Itata To
the United States naval authorities
when she reaches Chill, officers of tho
Navy Department stand mute.
1t may be stated, however, that there
have been no negotiations between this
government and the CHILEAN insurgents
upon the subject. Inasmuch as tho in
surgents have not been recognized by
the Goverment'of the United States as
belligerents, they have absolutely no
status that would admit of negotiation
with them.
Still it is plainly evident that some
kind OF an understanding has been or is
expected to be reached, which will ro-
suit in an easy transfer of the Itata 20
either Admiral Mccain or Admiral
Brown, should She reach Chilli. This.
of course, would not take the shape of a
formal agreement, but intimation NAV
have already been conveyed to United
States naval officers at Iquique by we
insurgents that such course will be
pursued.
Doubtless this has formed the basis
OF many of the cablegrams that have
passed between Washington and Iouioue
during the last two weeks.
