THE REPORT APPROVED.
THE ALASKA COURT,
A Decision Which Has a Bearing on One
Point i'm the sayward Case.

A Decision Which Has a Bearing on One
Point i'm the sayward Case.
The Supreme Court rendered an opinion
yesterday which seemed at first glance to prac-
tically decide the Sayward case. inasmuch as it
affirmed the contention made IN the Attorney
Generals brief in that case that the Alaska
court is not court Of the United States in the
constitutional sense as set down in the third
article OF the Constitution. The case upon
which this decision rendered was that of
Ward McAlister, jr., against the United States
for salary as judge of the Alaska court for the
period between the time of his removal and the
appointment Of his successor. The Supreme
Court held that he was not entitled to the pay
claimed. The decision says:
The court holds that the Alaska cour. is not
a court of the United States in the constitu-
tional sense as set forth in the third article of
the Constitution, but territorial court. The
fact that the term of the Alaskan Judge is lin
tied to four years and that he does 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 constitutionally
used. The court holds that the President has
complete power over territorial officers. Judg-
ment is therefore given in favor of the United
States
This involves the contention made by the
httofuc. otutIdA btrlng sea case. Ii
was argued in the government brief that the
Alaska court was not a United States court in
the meaning of the Constitution. and that.
therefore, the Supreme Court did not have
jurisdiction to issue writ of prohibition upon
that court. The decision in the McAlisuer case
confirms the contention of the government
that the Alaska court is not a United States
court.
This. however, does not necessarily carry
with 1t the rest of the contention that the Su-
preme Court has not jurisdiction over admiralty
cases In that court. The Supreme Court in its
preliminary action on the question of jurisdic-
tion, decided to permit the filing Of the plea
for the prohibition, and practically assumed
jurisdiction, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Alaska court is not United States court 1t
is not absolutely certain that they will do SO.
but it is thought at the Department of Justice
that the Supreme Court will hold that the court
not being United States court will not disturb
their jurisdiction to consider an application
for prohibition in an admiralty case
The McAlister decision attracted the atten-
ton OF the Department of Justice, but after
consideration 1t was regarded as less import
ant In its bearing on the other case than it at
first seemed.

An Important Decision by the United States
Supreme Court

An Important Decision by the United States
Supreme Court.
A rather important question was recently
decided by the Supreme Court which involved
the legality of the issue of labels by the patent
Office. The court held that the clause Of the
Constitution under which Congress is author
lied to legislate for tine protection Of
authors and inventors has reference only to
such writings and discoveries as are the
result of intellectual labor. It does not have
reference to labels which simply designate or
describe the articles to which they are attached
and which have no value separated from the
articles and no possible influence upon science
or the useful arts.
The revised statutes secure protection to the
author of any subject of copyright on his COM
pliance with certain provisions which are spe-
officially set forth. They provide that in order to
maintain an action for infringement Of his
copyright he shall have given notice thereof
by certain formula Of words in
scribed upon . certain designated part of the
book, print, or other article. The formula al
lowed by the act Of 1874 includes the simpl
word ''copyright," with the addition Of the wear

The Land Obtained by the Governmeu
From the ColviIle Reservation Indiana.

The Land Obtained by the Government
From the Colville Reservation Indiana.
SPOKANE FALLS. WASH, May 26.-The COM
cordance with the act of Congress, to negotiate
with the various tribes Of Indians now occupy
ing the ColviIle reservation, have returned
here after a month of negotiations An agree
ment was reached with the Indians by which
l.5G0,000 acres, or a trifie more than half the
reservation, are to be sold TO the government
for 81 per acre and thrown open 10 settlement.
At first there was some opposition among the
Indians.
Moses was indifferent and Joseph said he did
not feel that he had right 20 pass upon q
question of that kind, because he and his peo-
pie had been placed on the reservation more as
prisoners and exiles than independent owners
of the land. After a conference lasting two
days the Indians began TO sign. Anotonie,
chief of the Okanoghans, came first and was
followed by his people. Then came Moses and
his people and then Joseph and Nez Perces.
The San Pueblos were bitterly opposed to
the sale and not one OF them signed The COM
missioners then went to Marcus, where the
Lakes and Colyilles signed. Altogether 500
adult males signed, 200 more than the required
majority.
Under the treaty every Indian, man, woman
and child, has a right TO select eighty acres in
severalty. The government must erect black
smith shop for the use Of the Indians on the
reservation. The treaty shall go into effect i'm
mediately upon Its approval by Congress. The
land ceded will constitute one Of the richest
and most attractive portion Of the state. Ii
comprises farming and grazing land, has fine
streams and mountains of minerals. The ter
ritory ceded is larger than the state of Della
ware and more than twice rs large ~ Rhode
Island.

CIVIL SERVICE IN THE NAVY.
Report Of the Examining Board for the New
York Navy Yard.

York Navy Yard.
The board of naval officers designated by
Secretary Tracy to conduct the first ''civi
service" examination in the navy yards having
in charge the reforms 20 be instituted at the
New York yard, was at the Navy Department
and submitted its report to the Secretary. This
board consists of Capt r. NJ. Bunce, president;
Chief Engineer David Smith, Commander
Chas. O'Neil, Commander +. Z. Chadwick and
Naval Constructor F. F. Bowles. The board
convened in New York May /.
THE BOARDS REPORT
The report states: The applicants for all
positions numbered ninety three and fifty-nine
persons appeared for examination. Each can
didate appeared personally before the board
and was subjected TO an oral examination; his
testimonials and certificates were read in has
presence and he was required to make written
answers To certain questions, without limit OF
time. such testimony concerning HIM the
board could obtain, both oral and written was
received and duly considered"
The board adds: In several cases, notably
those OF the master shipwright, master Joiner,
master shipfitter for outside and inside work J.
master sparmaker master boat builder master
sailmaker and master molder the competition
amounted to very little. if anything as the
candidates were either few in numbers or Of
such class as to practically leave no opportu-
NIFTY for selection outside the persons at present
holding the positions.
QUALIFICATION As TO THE TEST.
The board also desires to record the fact
that while 1t has. in its judgment, specified
the candidates best qualified for the posi-
tions, it is of the opinion that the men named
1or master shlpwright, master joiner, master
shiphtter (outside work., master boilermaker
and master sparmaker do not reach that stand
ard OF excellence which il is desirable or which
the best interests Of the government demand.
Ihls unsatisfactory state Of affairs may be
largely due to the want of a more general
knowledge on the part of the public as to the
requirements Of the positions or to the made
quate rate of pay for some of the more import
ant"
THE REPORT APPROVED
The action of the department in the matter
is that it adopts the report of the board and
will carry out its recommendations in every
case. With reference to the statement made
In the report that certain candidates found
best qualified by the board do not reach
that standard of excellence which is de-
slrable, or which the best interests of the gov
ernment demand. it may be said that the de-
partment will take into consideration the
question raised with reference to the rate of
pay and also the expediency of a new examiua-
tion at some future date to fill these positions
permanently.

No HOLIDAY FOR THE CLERKs.-The death Of
Judge Taft will not bring the customary holi-
day to the clerks of the War Department and
the Department of Justice, over which he
formerly presided, as Attorney General Miller
and Secretary Proctor, after consultation have
decided that it is a useless custom to close de-
partments on the occasion Of the funeral of
cabinet officers long since retired from public
life. Accordingly they think that there is no
time like the present to inaugurate what they
consider to be a needed reform

THE INDIAN SCHOOLS.
After the assembly had been formally opened
the first business taken mp WAS the assignment
of certain overtures to committees for consid-
Grafton. The principal overture was one in
regard to the Roman Catholic schools among
the Indians and whether the United States
government should continue the Indian schools.

vacant pulpits being the order of the day, Rev.
@. L. Hamilton Of Rochester took the plat

ton Of the employment Of an agent to keep

Carter, retired, died in this city today. He
entered the naval service as midshipman in
1910 from Tennessee, became commodore in
1878 and retired with that rank in 1881 Subse-
quently, in 1882, by special act of Congress he
was promoted to the rank of admiral on the re-
