BEFORE THE CABINET
England's Flank Movement
 Discussed Informally.
NO DOUBT ABOUT THE RESULT.
The Supreme Court Cannot Become a
 Board of Arbitration.

Attorney General Miller Says He Win Have Enough to Say About the Matter When He Makes His ArgumOnt-The
 New Move Hailed With Delight in
 England No Afrront to MT. Blaine. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The effort of the British Government, through counsel for Canadian officials, to bring the Behring Sea controversy before the Supreme Court of the United States was the chief topic of conversation here in diplomatic and official circles. The mat ter was talked about informally in the Cabinet meeting, and although members of the Cabinet are naturally rettcent about it, still it is apparent that the ad' ministration is but little disturbed over the alleged flank movement on the part of the British or Canadian lawyers.
 How the Case Stands.
 As it stands now, it is simply this The petitioners asked the Supreme court to take hold of a case involving disputed international questions and treaty rights Attorney General Miller promptly ob- jected to the introduction of the motion on the grounds that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction in the case at issue, which originated in the District Court of Alaska; that the case sought to be in troduced was q political case, without legal aspects and, therefore, had no place in the Supreme Court. He also held that it was unconstitutional for the Supreme Court to administer upon mat ters belonging to an executive depart ment.
 The Court at once denied the right of the petitioners to make their motion, but set day two weeks hence when the question of admitting the motion will be argued.
 The Courts Final Action.
 Attorney-General Miller declined to talk about the matter, merely dismissing all interviewers with the remark that it was not a good plan to practice law in the newspapers, and assuring them that he would have enough to say about the matter in a fortnight, when he should make his argument before the Supreme Court.
 Friends of the administration say they have no doubt that the Court will, after hearing argument, reassert its conclu- sion and decline to become a board of arbitration for the settlement of the vexatious Behring Sea matter-a politi- cal question already under negotiation be- tween the diplomatic representatives of the United States and Great Britain.

small lots. The price, after reaching the alti-
tude last referred 10. sagRed back once more
to 9S1sc, but the reported taking of 10000
bushels Tor exports from Baltimore closed the
market strong within &c of the extreme
point touched during the session. The
trade In corn was heavy after. the
first hour OF trading. IL was easy early in the
day on account OF the local receipts being us
cars instead OF 90 cars AS estimated on Satur-
day. There was a rumor that the forthcoming
government report shows a less quantity than
has been commonly figured upon by the specula-
tors and there was a very sudden and material
advance, during which some orders to buy and
sell at certain prices were impossible OF execu-
ton, so rapidly did the price shoot up. The
opening was at about the same price as at the
close on Saturday, which was $500 for May.
The first move was downward, as already IN
dIcated, and sales were made at 523Zc. On the
advance which followed il rose TO $3.50. From
around 531sc on this advance the additional Zc
was added inside Of five minutes. Walker &
Co. were sellers early and Norton & Worthing-
ton were moderate buyers. Frank Dunn,
opened his up on the spurtin an endeavOr TO
catch some on the bound but he secured very
little. the jump being too s~pasmodic and quick.
There was a lair trade in oats at slightly better
prices. The trade was in smaller lots however
amt pretty we'll distributed among the crowd.
Aidrich led the buying. The first sales of May
futures were at 455s, then TO 45H to 451s@46,
to ass on estimates OF zoo cars for tomorrow.
Thence the price worked up to 40 and closed
strong and = over Saturday at 455sG46.
The first sale of February was recorded
at 1870. January remaining nominal. Pork
Quiet; a good speculative trade was reported
and prices fucruated frequently. Opening
sales were made at lOGl214c advance, but
prices settled back sc. Later prices rallied
17H@20c and closed steady. Lard-Rather an
active bus ness was transacted and the feeling
was decidedly strong. Prices on the whole
ranged 5@7Hc higher and the market closed
rather firm at the improvement. Snort ribs
the market attracted considerable attention
aud the trading was quite active. Prices on

THREE LEGISLATURES NOW.
MONTANA is sEA1rue The RECORD.
The Democrats Have the Governor-Se-
brnska's Alliance VIII Unseat the Dem
ocratic Govsrnor-Peck Inaugur-
ated-Oiher Political News.

HELENA, Mon'., Jan. 5.-Todav was the
date set for the meeting of the state legis-
lature and three bodies of men met in as
many different places and organized three
branches of the Montana legislature. In
the senate it was all easy sailing as the
body stands ten democrats and six re-
publicans. But the trouble over the ten
members from Silver Bow county remains
just as it did last year.
Twenty-nine republicans met in the Elec-
trio light hall when State Auditor Kinney
called the roll, in which he included the
five republican contestants from Silver
Bow county.
All the democratic members of the
house, including the five democratic claim
ants from Silver Bow, met in another
hall and organized by electing Harry
Courly speaker and a full list OF officers.
The republican house also elected officers.
Just a ter noon the committee from the
democratic house waited on the senate
and governor with the information that
the house of Representatives had organized
and was ready for business. Governor
Toole and the senate each recognized this
organization. This afternoon the republi-
can house sent a message to the senate that
it was organized and ready for business.
This m ssage, by a vote OF 10 to 6, was re-
jected and the clerk was directed to make
no note of it OH his minutes. AS the mat
ter stands now, the dea1i)ck is as COM
plete as it was last year, when not a law
was passed. As the democrats have the
senate and governor this year, where last
year the senate was a tie, they rather have
the best of it now. But If the mat
ter goes to the supreme court,
as it will undoubtedly do, if that body
follows the precedent set last year, it
will decide in favor of the legality OF the
republican house. As there are no more
senatorships in the balance this year
there is nothing in particular to fight for
and the belief Is pretty general that some
compromise may be made in a few days
which will end the deadlock. The gov
ernor's message will be delivered tomOr-
row. There was no trouble of n sort
despite the prediction of the sensational
lists, and both sides, while determined,
were in the best of humor.

FEES N SALARIES.
When Shall the Reform Take Effect ?-Some
Sug estions.
TNincennes SUM-


The Indiana democratic press is a unit,
of course, on carrying out the pledges OF
the platform concerning fee and salary
reform. The surprise would be if it were
not so. That there should be diversity as
to the method of executing the purpose
is as natural as humanity itself. Thetime
of making the proposed new law operative,
we believe, VIII have much to do with
the t-horoughness and efficiency of the
reform undertaken. The platform says
that it should take effect "as sOon as prac-
ticable." This does not mean that there
shall be an emergency clause in the law
nor that it shall be made operative during
the present generation 1t merely gives
the common sense latitude which is re-
| quired to secure the best measure possible.
Let US apply the wisdom born OF expe-
rience. 1t wi | be very difficult to enact
the right sort of reform if the wild
emergency men" invite ali the present
county officials and those elect, to the
lobby of the assembly and subject the lit
tie band of one hundred and fifty law
makers to the pressure and influence of
from seven hundred to a thousand pecu-
niarilv interested officials. To do this
would mean to defeat the measure alto
gether or to make the reductions too mild
to satisfy a reasonable public demand for
a decided remedy; and this is not saying
that our representatives and senators are
not men OF integrity and firmness and
moral courage. Already the word has
gone forth hat the class who are rigidly
demanding an emergency clause are doing
so with a purpose TO defeat the law.
=
guard against both the Scylla' and
Charybdis that threaten the good ship of
Reform, and we hope that some Hoosier
Lvcurgus will come to the capital Jan. s
with a measure framed to meet the
exigency of the occasion.
