The attendance of prominent citizens who had
been asked TO enlighten the Green Commission
on the question Of consolidation was not large
at yesterdays session, though two of them sent
interesting letters. The absence of those in
vited would probably, however, have made no
difference to the Commissioners. Those pres
ent-there was not quorum in reality-hat
made up their minds to adopt their bill proyid-
ing for consolidating with New-York City Kings
and Richmond counties and portions of Queens
and Westchester, and accordingly they did so.
The measure went to Albany last night. Its
fate in the Legislature we do not consider UNI
certain. TO pass the bill at this time, without
thorough discussion Of it, and without giving the
people most concerned chance to express their
opinions, would be blunder

The SUPREME COURT VACANCY.


Why should the appointment of Judge Brady
successor be longer delayed? Every day that
the Governor allows to go by without naming
the new Supreme Court Justice works harm and
prejudice to the interests of that court and the
public Because of the Governors inaction' 1t
became necessary this month to take Justice
Lawrence away from circuit where ne was
needed to fill the vacant place at General Term
Justice Smith, it is true, is sent down tronl MS
own department, but that also crppes the court
in another part of the State. There is every
reason why the appointment should be made
promptly, and apparently no good reason for the
delay.
II Governor Hills purpose is to satisfy public
desire, as to the individual to be chosen he has
already been fully appraised upon that point
Seldom has there been such substantial una
nimity upon the part OF that portion OF the
community competent TO reflect the best senti-
ment upon the subject as there has been in this
case that Judge Ingraham should be named for
the place made vacant by Judge Bradys death.
Even if the Governor did not place great reli-
ance upon the expressions of opinion from other
sources, he can scarcely disregard the combined
recommendation that has reached him from the
leaders of the NewYork bar
All the usual arguments that demand the re-
election of frst-class Judge, instead of taking
an untred lawyer, apply to this appointment.
There are many good lawyers but those who
have great judicial qualities are comparatively
few. 1t is because Judge lngraham has proved
that he has these qualities in an eminent de-
gree, along with the knowledge Of the law, that
the desire for his appointment is so strong. lie
would not have to learn how to be good SUI
preme Court Justice. lie has demonstrated
that he is that already.

Says our excellent contemporary. "The Sum-
having the Italian complication before its eyes:
a fine Government this would be if the Federai
power could reach into every State to remove
from local jurisdiction and try with it's own Iuries
and courts persons charged with violation OF The
law of the State" The trouble with this is that
its assumptions are all wrong The offenders
whose cases are in question have violated State
law, it lis true but their graver crime Is against
national treaty, the highest law of the land.
II they were tried by Federal court they would
not be removed from local jurisdiction at all.
The circuit courts OF the United States are as
local as any other, their judges and iuries come
from the district and town where they sit just
as do thOee of the State courts. The only differ.
ence between trial of the New-Orleans lynchers
by Federal and State authorities is difference,
not of scene or personnel, but of responsibility,
and as the crime is against the Union. why should
it not be empowered to infict the punishment?

THE Providence Journal" DEM declares that
in the recent Rhode Island election the issue
was not between free trade and protection"
Has it forgotten that the Democratic managers
during the campaign sent broadcast circular
setting forth that every vote cast for the Demo
cratic candidates would be vote against the
Mckinley bill. Evidently the difference between
victory and defeat accounts for the difference
between these two Democratic views. The
Journals" hndsight is superior TO the party
managers foresight.

Tax Commissioner Coeman's testimony be-
fore the Senate Committee on General Laws
had no immediate bearing upon the Sugar Trust
investigation. Nevertheless, his statements chal-
lenge attention and are worthy of thoughtful
consideration. The gist of his remarks was that
capital in great amounts has been driven from
this city on account Of the high taxation, and
that numerous corporations, capitalized at many
millions have been formed in New-Jersey sim
ply to take advantage of the low corporation tax
in that State. President Colemans opinions on
this subject are the result of long observation
and study, and possess, therefore, unusual value.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Democrats Begin Filibustering to Delay
Passage of Elections Bill.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 19.-The inten-
ton of the Democrats of the House to re-
sort to obstructive tactics until the de-
termination of the Senate on the elections
bill, was manifested this morning when
Bland demanded the reading of Saturdays
proceedings in full, instead of in abbre-
waited form. Then Mills moved an amend
ment to the journal relative to the refusal
of the chair to recognize his motion to re-
consider the vote by which Fridays jour-
nal was approved. Cannon inquired
whether it was in order to move the pre-
vious question on the approval of the
journal. The speaker after an examiua-
ton of Mills motion, recognized Cannon.
Then came a chorus of Democratic de-
mands for reading of the amendment,
which said the ruling of the speaker is dis
approved by the House. The speaker, re-
garding the amendment as not proper,
recognized CanDon's demand for a stand
ing vote. The demand was rejected, but
the Republicans gathered strength and
seconded the demand, yeas 1870, nays los.
Thereupon Springer took the door, and
for some time the House was entertained
by a discussion which went on between
himself and Speaker Reed. Springer said
that never before the first session of this
congress had motion TO reconsider a
previous motion been denied by the
presiding officer. He referred to the re-
marks of the speaker in addresses made
in New York state during the last cam
paign, about overturning the precedent
of the last hundred years. The verdict of
the American people had condemned the
rules of the speaker. The speaker had
read several decisions made by Speaker
Randall showing that the latter had re-
fused to entertain similar appeals.
Mckinley took the floor and said that
nobody could deny that the motion made
by Mills was purely dilatory, and it was
the duty of the chair to refuse to entertain
the appeal. 1t was manifest to the coun-
try that for the last six weeks the whole
effort Of the Democratic side had been to
obstruct public business. The whole pur-
pose of filibustering was that it should be
impossible, if the Senate should pass the
elections bill, to pass that bill through the
House.
Flower of New York retorted: "We accept
that issue. and stand upon it," Demo-
cratic applause.]
After further discussion, the journal was
approved, and the Senate bill for the re-
lief of Sarah Eperine was passed. Adj
iourned.

German argued against the correctness
of the rulings made by the vice president
Friday that the effect of an appeal from
decision was not debatable because the
question itself on which the decision had
been made Ia motion to lay on the tablet
was an unbeatable one. Edmunds held
that the decision was absolutely right.
The discussion was kept up for some time,
when German withdrew his motion. 1t Is
thought to be something in the nature of
flank movement against the cloture
matter.
Mitchell presented resolution, which
went over, calling on the secretary of war
for copies of all recommendations and
statements of boards of trade as to the site
for gun factory on the Pacific coast.
The elections bill was taken up, and
George spoke. He remarked in the course
of his speech that much had been said
about the new constitution of Mississippi
which was less liable to abuse than those
of several other states. He asserted that
the constitution of Oregon permitted the
immigration of negroes and practically
outlawed them.
Dolph said that the constitution was
framed when Oregon was hopelessly Dem
ocratic, under the lead of General Joe
Lane, and that it had not since been
amended.
George dwelt on the matter at some
length, saying in response to the query of
Dolph that these provisions may not be an
expression of the judgment of the people
of Oregon at present, but they were the
expression at that time, and the people of
Oregon have not seen mt to withdraw
them. The vice president laid before the
Senate a message from the president,
transmitting the agreement with the Crow
Indians for the sale of the western part of
their reservation in Montana.
Hoar moved adjournment today until
noon tomorrow, to give the senators an
opportunity to attend the funeral of Mr..
Bancroft; agreed to.
George resumed his speech, but yielded
for an executive session and the Senate
soon adjourned

The Biggest Transfer of Real
Estate on Record.
GREAT INDUSTRIES PROPOSED.
The Rockefeller Syndicate Secures
10000 Acres on Lake Washington
for steel and Iron Works.

The biggest transfer of real estate ever
known in Seattle was made yesterday by
w. RI. Demarest 10 the Lake Washington
Belt Line Improvement Company. The
amount involved is sl,950,00o Another
transfer amounting in value 10 $50, 600 was
made by c. III. Rapes to the same COM
pany, making the total acquisition OF this
company an even 100000.
The Belt Line Improvement Companyis
the syndicate organized by John ID. Rookie
Teller, General Russell A. Alger and num-
Der of local capitalists, and the property
transferred includes nearly the whole east
-rn water front of Lake Washington. The
property has been held in trust by Mr.. IL.
Demarest for the syndicate until the latter
had been incorporated. and the transfer
follows on the incorporation.
Mr.. James Mcknight, OF the Belt line
company, was seen last night by PosT-lS-
1ELIIeENcER reporter in regard TO she trans
fer. 1.-THE land named in the deeds, T" he said,
consists of 100 acres bordering on the
eastern shore of Lake Washington, with
the exception of 800 acres in the neighbour
hood of Kirkland This property was
decided last summer by the
various owners to w. III. Demarest as
trustee, because the company had not
at that time been incorporated. The deed
placed upon record today was from
Demarest TO the company.
There was also a transfer amounting to
$4,000 from G. III. Rapes, which arose
under the same circumstances. The first
work of improvement that is to be done
is the steel plant on the $50 acres near
Kirkland No active work will begin,
however, until spring.
stThc next enterprise is the establish
ment somewhere on this tract OF a plant
for the manufacture ON large scale or
car wheels and axles. 1t was the inten-
ton to have the gentlemen who
are interested in the undertaking
come here with me from New York, but
urgent circumstances prevented it. 1t is
quite probable that they will be here in
the near future. Other important inn
provements are to follow those just men,
