SAN FRANCISCO, June Is. = Justice
Field was at his chambers in the Ap-
praisers' building this morning, but he
did not hold court. To a Post reporter he
said that the establishment of tho Court
OF Appeals was the object of his visit to
the Pacific Coast, but other business would
detain him in the city for some time yet.
He and Judge Sawyer will meet to-mor-
row morning, but the court will
probably not be established out of
courtesy to Judge Deadly, who has not vet
arrived from Oregon. The Judge is not
expected to arrive until the Goth inst, and
the Appellate Court viii not be created
until tomorrow week. Judge SawyeiSs
circuit includes California, Oregon, New
ada, Washington, Montana, and the
Dakotas, and the jurisdiction of the new
court will extend over this territory.
There are nine circuits in the United
States, and to expedite the business of
the courts an Associate Judge is to be
appointed in December to each Circuit
Court.
The organization means that mar
shall, clerk, bailiff and perhaps other
officials will be appointed and the liveliest
interest has been manifested to-day by
Federal officials in this direction. Who
will receive the new offices to be created
is matter of speculation. Prominent
politicians have been at the Federal build
ings making inquiries to-day, but they
received little information.
