If is not likely that Collector Hendricks Will take
any steps to regain possession of the yacht COnqueror
which was forcbIy taken from his officers on Thursday
by the United states Marshal. No one seems TO be
able to tell just what the present status Of the case Is
Int IL is Thought that the Collector will not lose any
rights that he may have to the custody OF
the Yacht on account of the seizure. In the
course of the struggle between the Collector and
the United states Marshal the District Attorneys ONCE

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The national board
of control of the worlds fair was to
have met here yesterday to pass upon
the work so far done, but there was not

of several members to arrive. 1t has
been practically decided that there will
be only one more session of the national
commission previous to the month of
the closing of the fair in 1893. This
course is necessary as there will be no
money to defray the expenses of the
sessions.

SUPREME COURT RULES.
Important Changes in Procedure Beforl
the Supreme Tribunal

Important Changes in Procedure Before
the Supreme Tribunal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-An important
change in its rules which the United
States supreme court made before ad-
journment for February is attracting a
great deal of attention from lawyers
throughout the country, and some Of
them seem to be in doubt as to its pur-
pose. The effect Of the modification Of
the rules made by the court Is to COM
pei the docketing of each case brought
before itwithin thirty days from the time
the appeal is taken from the decision of
the lower court. All appeals, writs Of
error and citations must be made re-
turnable to the supreme court by the
lower courts within this period of thirty
days unless for some good reason a spe-
cial order is made in any case.
Heretofore many months might inter
vene between an appeal and its docket
ing on the records of the court, advan-
tage being taken of this privilege in
cases where the principal object of the
appeal was to delay a final decision.
The attention of the court was directed
to this-state of affairs by the proceed
ings in the Jugiro electrocution case,
and it was for the special purpose
of meeting these habeaus corpus cases
that the new rule was framed.

THE SUBSIDY SHIP BILL.
It's Future Extremely UncertaIn-Repuh
Hcan Detection.

Its Future Extremely Uncertain-Repub-
ncan Detection.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The subsidy
shipping bill, which is to be given day
this week in the hope of effecting it's
passage, is in a most uncertain condi-
ton. Although it is regarded as a re-
publican measure, there are several
western, republicans who will vote
against it, so that the presence of full
republican majority does not assure the
passage of the measure. The only
hope of getting the bill through Is
to secure democratic votes enough to
make up for the republican defee-
ton. This is not so certain. A few
democrats from the North Atlantic coast
are for the bill, but those from the
south are not. They do not believe the
reports recently given out that steam
ship lines are to be run from Alabama
or South Carolina ports to South Ameri-
ca. They say the subsidy men are only
trying to catch them with such stories,
and they are opposed to subsidies any
way. Powerful influences are being
brought to bear to secure this legisla-
ton, thought to be so necessary to the
fulhllment of the policy Of reciprocity
now being worked out, and incidentally
there is a great deal of speculation in
Pacific Mail stock being INDUCED in.
