STATUS OF TERRITORIAL COURTS.
Tho Judge May BE Removed by the
President.

WASHINGTON CRY, May 25. - The su.
preme court today rendered an opinion
through Justice Harlan in the case Of
Ward McAllister against the United
States. McAllister was removed from
office as judge of the district court of
Alaska by President Cleveland, and
claimed salary from the time removed 10
the qualification of Dawson, who was con-
hrmed as his successor. One question in
the case was whether the judge of the
Alaskan court came within the provision
oil section l,16S, X. B., authorizing tine
president to suspend all civil officers
except judges of the United States" The
court holds that the Alaska court is not q
court of the United States in constitu-
tional sense, as set forth in the third
article of the constitution, but territorial
court The fact that the term OF the Alaska
Judge rs limited to four years, and that he
does not hold Office for life or during good
behavior, the court says, proves it is not
court OF the United States, as the term is
constitutionally used. The court said the
decision in the present case gave the presi-
dent complete power over territorial
officers. The judgment therefor was given
in favor of the United States Justice
Field and Justices Gray and Brown dis
sented i'll the opinion, which, Justice
Field maintained, held that the mere will
of the president was sufficient to remove
judge of court created by the United
States, and that the constitution did not
contemplate that the judge should be-
responsible to any man for con-
tinuance in office. It seemed TO him
that some of his brethren over
looked the character of the judicial
branch of government when they made dis
tinction against the courts of the terrific
ries. These courts had similar powers.
and there was the same necessity they
should use the Office fearlessly and with
out fear of offending any president lest
they should be removed. The case Of Win
gard, justice of the Washington territory
court. was decided the same way.

THE FIGHTING IN THE PUNGwE.
All Accounts Agree That the British De-
feated the Portuguese.

LONDON, May 25.-Conflicting accounts
of the Anglo Portuguese trouble lead to the
belief that there were two conflicts. The
first was collision with the South
Africa Company's police at Mutassi, and
the defeated Portuguese thence went to
the coast by the Pungwe route and came
into collision with Commissioner John
sons forces of pioneer miners, who were
opening transport route.
Further details of the fight, May II,
near Massikesse, between British and
Portuguese, show that the Portuguese
were marching on Fort Salisbury, when
the Brithish South African Company's
police fired on them, killing seven and
wounding twenty.
LISBON, May 25.-The governor general
of Mozambique telegraphs that the Caldas
Xavier expedition, which had arrived at
Massikesse, was attacked near that place
by the British South African Company's
employees May II. and several men killed
on both sides.
PARIS, May 25.-Dispatches received here
from Grand Bassau. a French town in
Upper Guinea, say that French expedi-
ton sent into the interior to avenge the
death of two French travellers, fought a
battle with natives. killing many of them
and subduing the surrounding country.

THE INTERCEPTED JAP GIRLS.
They Are Married and Their Husbands
Live in Seattle.

PORTLAND, May 25.-[Speciai. THE nine
Japanese women who came over on the
steamer Pemptos, and who were not al
lowed to land in San Francisco, where
Captain Johannerson was placed under
bonds 10 take tiisn = back to
Japan, were brought ashore today
on a writ of habeas corpus and
had hearing before Judge Deadly this
evening. Seven of them testified that
they had come here to meet their hus-
bands, and each picked out her husband
from among twenty Japs present. Each
of the husbands were put on the stand
and testified to the same statements as his
wife as to when, where and how long
since they were married. One of the
men was restaurant-keeper in
Seattle, another a laundryman there, one
a tailor. and another sailor. One was
from Tacoma. All had sent money to
their wives to come over. One girl was an
orphan, a niece of one of the women, who
had brought her up. Yokata Minnie,
whose husband had been arrested in San
Francisco, said she had heard from him.
and wanted to work as servant in some
family here till he came for her.
United States Attorney Mays, made an
argument against these women being al
lowed to land, claiming that the action of
the officials in San Francisco was correct.
He called attention to some conflict in
their testimony with what they said in San
Francisco, and said it was strange so
many healthy women married for such a
length of time had no children, except that
one of them had two.
The court said the cansus sbouod a. =
same state of affairs with Boston women,
and that if the same number of healthy.
stout Irish, English or French women
came here there would be no objection
made to their landing. As the captain
had not made return to the writ, the
women were sent back to the ship, and a
decision will be given today. They will
all doubtless be allowed to land.

mated at 100000, but under the terms
of the will could not come into possession
of it SO long as she remained the wife Of
Grundler who had always treated her and
her children cruelty. She was last seen at
the house of midwife in this eitv, and
post mortem examination today revealed
that she was In delicate condition. The
ories of murder and suicide are both ad-
vanced. The coroner's jury was in session
all day, and at late hour tonight ad-
journed till tomorrow.
PORTLAND, May Especial. THE body
of Elizabeth Whitfield, who was drowned
near the head of Ross island week ago
Sunday, while out boating with ]. Norval
Fordyce, was found floating in the river at
O'Clock this morning. The body was in
mid-stream, directly in the line of the
Stark street ferry, and was first discovered
by the pilot. The ferry was stopped and
the remains were towed across to this
side. Coroner Rivers at once took them to
the morgue and placed them in her
metically sealed casket. Decomposition
was so far advanced that the features were
unrecognizable, and the clothes were the
only means of Identification. No marks
of violence were found on the body.
There are suspicious circumstances con-
nected with the drowning that are not
easily explained. There are discrepancies
in the statements of Fordyce. both in re-
gard to the time and place. There is mys-
terry about the whole affair. 1t was re-
ported today that the shawl of Miss Whit
field had been found on Ross island.

and becoming public scandal.
ODESSA, May PA rumor current here
that the czar intends to make a thorough
clearance of Jews from st. Petersburg,
Moscow and Odessa has caused great con-
sternation in the Jewish colony in this city
Jewish residents here believe this alarm
ing report the more readily because they
know the government has been requested
to interfere in behalf of the Christians of
the city, four-fifths of the increasing trade
of Odessa, it was claimed, being wholly in
the hands of the Jews. Crowds of Jews
arrived today from Kieff, and will embark
for Jaffa. Many of these people are in
a destitute condition, wealthy Jews de-
clining to render them any assistance.

rival of the czarowitch at Vladisvostock
an imperial rescript will be published

script signalizing the event by imperial
acts of clemency toward the convicts of
Siberia.
ST.. PETERsbURG. May 25.-It is reported
here that the Russian government is pre-
pairing for wholesale series of domicil-
larry police visits throughout this city and
! its suburbs. All Hebrews discovered are
to be imprisoned and conveyed later on
to the Hebrew pale. Reports received
here from kief indicate that this policy is
in full force, and that the prosecutions of
Hebrews are so strong that those entitled
to reside at Kief are allowing themselves
to be expelled without protest rather than
risk the endeavor to prove their rights.
To celebrate the visit of the czarowitch
to Siberia, an imperial decree has been is
sued authorizing the Siberian governors
to remit two-thirds of the sentences, and
otherwise ameliorate the condition of
worthy convicts.

tonight from the East to take the places of
the strikers who left the Gambrinus and
Weinhard breweries. Otherwise the status
of the strike remains the same. The strik-
ing brewers claim that they will make
Weinhard lose $l2, 900 in three months, and
Weinhard claims he can get along without
them. He says he will not take the
strikers back under any consideration un-
less they leave the Pacific Coast Union and
affiliate with the National Union, and in
that event only if he needed them. The
Weinhard and Gambrinus breweries are
standing together in this fight. The boy
colt on the Weinhard beer has thus far
had no effect.

DIsPosITION OF MORMON FUNDS.
Supreme Court Does Not Know What
to Do with Escheated Property

WASHINGTON CITY, May 25.-When the
supreme court at its last term upheld the
constitutionality of the Edmunds law, by
by which the property of the late corpora
ton of the Church of Jesus Christ of the
Latter Day Saints, otherwise known as the
Mormon church, was escheated to the
United States. it found itself in some
what embarrassing position. The doctrine
of escheat was quite unknown in this
country, and no purpose considered lauda-
bic and proper OF a similar nature to that
for which the property was formerly used
was known for which the property could
be devoted The court, therefore, instead
of sending the decree down, withheld it, a
strong intimation being conveyed OF the
desire of the court that congress should
by law direct the disposition TO ne made
of the property. Congress having failed
to adopt the suggestion, the court, through
Justice Bradley, today made final order
in the case and modified in some respects
