PORK in Free Shortly.

BERLIN, jar. 24.-TSpeoiall The
repeal of the prohibition against Ameri-
can pork is now regarded as within q
short distance of q accomplishments. The
weight of speaking throughout the de-
bate in tho Reichstag was all on the
side of change in the law. No promi-
mont defender of tho prohibitory law in
the Reichstag ventures to deny that n
repeal OF the law would be n benefit to
the masses, which are now paying high
prices for meat, even garbage being
dear. Several members immediately
after the division on the question con-
graduated Mr.. Phelps, the United
States Minister, on tho early prospect
of the abolition of the prohibitory law
or at least modification OF the meas
ure.
Receiving further congratulations to-
day, Mr. Phelps said: '"Thcrc would not
even have been majority of twonty-
seven against the motion if the opposi-
ton had waited little. Ii the motion
had been made by supporter of the gov
eminent the result might have boon diff
forent, but how could the government
let the combination of freissinge and So
cialist parties dictate it's policy on such
an important question"
Mr.. Phelps added that he had long
known that the government was ready
to modify the restrictions in regard to
American pork as soon as proper prepa-
rationS could bo taken for inspcctio

A Tough Lot.

Arthur McEwen in his last syndi
cate letter pays his respects to the
Superior Judges of San Francisco as
folio VS.:
We're tough lot. Not long ago
was with a group of prominent law
yers who were discussing the twelve
Superior Judges, and one of these
lawyers asserted his belief, in quiet,
mLtter- of-fact way, that only two of
them were honest men. 7 know moth
ing of the matter myself, but none of
those lawyers, who ought to know,
took the trouble to differ with him.
Ii bis statementg gave them any shock
at all, 1T was only one of mild surprise
that an attorney vino has to practice
in the courts Of these jur'sLs should
venture to speak of them SO freely in
public. 1t is quite common to hear
lawyers talking Of this one or Shat be-
ing the "broker" Of some Judge or
other.
Which reminds me of Nevada in
cident OF the Territorial time. One of
the Judges mt Carson was required to
deliver a decision in an important
mining case. He wrote two. His
"broker" caused it to be understood
that the one which bs made public
must cost somebody just $4,000 in
gold coin-nothing but gold coin
would do, and it must be handed to
His Honor that night in his rooms at
the Ormsby House, where he would
sit up until a reasonable hour to hear
argument. It was about midnight
when the messenger, who had been
sent by sleigh to Virginia City in hot
haste, returned. He knocked softly
at the door Of Justice. 1t was opened
an inch and at the crack appeared
the bright eyes not of the discreet
Judge, but of his wife.
Here's the stuff, Mrs. Verulam,"
whispered the messenger, drawing
from his overcoat pockets two great
canvas bags.
Wide open flew the door, and 80
eager was the Courts spouse to take
the wealth that she made hasty
"apron" of her night-dress. Plump
went the two bags into the apron.
They were very heavy and -and-well
they tore things, and the lady stood
in state Of nature, with the treasure
on the floor at her feet.

Supreme Courts Decision In the
connecticut CubernatorIaI MuddIe.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 3-The
decision Of the Supreme Court in the
suit of G. Wilbur Fields VS.. Sidney j. Os-
borne ct al, better known as the contested
Branford election case. was announced this
morning, and with the announcement was
filed the written opinion of the court, which
was divided. The opinion was written by
Judge Seymour. Dem, and concurred in
throughout by Judges Carpenter and LOOM
Is. Chief Justice Andrews and Judge Tor
rance concur In the judgement which advises
that the plaintiff was not elected select
man Of Branford, and dismisses his petition,
which prayed that he be declared elected,
but on the other parts of the opinion they
cOncurred, because they felt bound by the
case of Talc0tt VS.. Philbrick, and did not in
tend to change or modify what was said by
them in their dissenting opinion In that case.
This decision Is of the greatest importance
and has been awaited with anxiety. 1t in
volved the opinion of the court on the ques-
tlon of the legality of so called "for' ballots,
which question is first and foremost In the
disputed gubernatorial controversy and the
judicial opinion practically decides the gov
ernorship.
The decision is a moral victory for the Re-
publicans, inasmuch as 1t holds that If all the
ballots of party contained the word "for"
there would be no ground on which to raise
the question of fraud, as all prohibition tick
cts contained the 'f0r" the court practically
says that all should have been counted and
IL these are counted the 26 majority of Judge
Morris will be wiped out.
