Take a Vacation.

preme court has adjourned for one month,
and upon its reassembling it is expected that
several important decisions will be handed
down.
1t is understood that Chief Justice Fuller
will write the opinion of the court in the ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus In the
case of the Chicago anarchists.
This will be a task Of considerable magni-
tude, as scores of authorities must be exam
ined as consequence of the numerous points
cited by General Butler and Attorney Solo
mon. Members of the bar who we're present
in the court room during the delivery of the
arguments and followed them closely are
about equally divided in opinion as to whether
the decision will be in favor of the convicted
men or Will support the position taken by
the state.

The February 10 Order.

OMAHA, February 1.-The representatives.
of the lines interested in Kansas traffic have
been in session here considering the order
recently issued by the railroad commissioners
of that state, to reduce freight rates. Unless
the reductions ordered by the state authori-
ties are put into effect, the commits
sioners have given notice that they will
themselves reduce the rates by February
10. The managers were wide apart on the
question of whether it would be advisable to
resist the order by appealing to courts for
protection, and a prolonged discussion failed
to bring them nearer together on that point.
1t was finally decided to hold conferences
simultaneously in Chicago and Topeka, with
the view of asking the commissioners foc e
rehearing of the case.

Boyd is Governor of Nebraska.

WASHINGTON, u. T., February SAB the
justices except Justice Field have concurred
in the conclusion of the court that Boyd was
a citizen of the United States and entitled to
the Office of governor of Nebraska.
Justices Harlan and Brown concurred In
that part of tf, opinion which held that Boyd
was citizen because from the record in the
case it must be considered a. established that
Boyd's father having exercised all the rights
of citizen, had, in fact, in 1854. taken and
received his oath and final naturalization
papers, notwithstanding he did not have a
record of such final naturalization papers.
The court also held that there was such a
thing Is collective naturalization that the
enabling act of Nebraska constituted nat
uralization of all the inhabitants of Nebraska
at the time of its admission, except such a
desired to retain their foreign rights, and
that Boyd's exercise of various Offices shOwsS

INV ToRK, February 1.-R. G. Dun& Co. 3
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Il is undeniable that there exists . consid-
cradle feeling of disappointment More busi-
ness, but At lower prices, seems to Be the
rule. That the volume of trade IS generally
increasing, even in branches which have been
the dulless, there seems to be no doubt. But
in an unusual number of cases increased
sales appear to be the result of some yielding
in prices, 30 that the average decline in prices
of all commodities during the East week has
been more than 1 per cent.
There Is more business in iron, but the in
creased output has weakened prices. Copper
is lower, at 1913 cents; tin is Is lower, but
lead is stronger at - cents; coal is unsettled.
In dry goods there seems rather less activ-
ity as to cotton goods, and in knit goods there
Is some dullness.
The clothiers are conservatively waiting for
indications of popular fancy.
There Is better feeling IN the wool mar
ket and the continuing sales prove that man
ufactur1ug has by no means ceased.
Cotton is of a cent lower; corn Is 4
cent higher, with heavy receipts at the west,
and pork products little stronger; wheat Is
ago: oil is nearly a cent lower and coffee a
ssccarttef s....an2sl.
The money markets throughout the coun-
try are unusually vol supplied, but this Is
explained by the fact that demand is only
moderate. Collections are generally improved
or decidedly good.
The course of foreign trade makes the ab-
sence of gold imports somewhat noteworthy.
The exports from New York for the four
weeks of January have been 81, 1913, 900 or
1919 per cent. more than for the saue weeks
of last year, while the imports there have
been slightly decreased, which would point
to an excess of exports over imports amount
ing to about ~, 0O, 900 for the month, against
so. 0OO, 900 last January.
The business failures during the last week
number 97, compared with 32S for the week
before and 80 for the same week last year.

Titles in Johnson County. Kansas

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 3.-Attorney
Gensral Miller has submitted to congress
special report on the litigation in reference
TO the Black Bob Indian lands in Kansas.
These lands are located in Johnson county,
within few miles of Kansas City, and are of
great value. The title to the whole property
Is now involved in the litigation pending in
the United States di>tric. court at Topeka
The attorney general says: ''Notwithstand-
ing the difficulties in the way of rapid pro-
gress in this litigation. yet substantial pro-
9ress has been made and the business will be
pushed forward as rapidly As possible"
Accompanying this report Is letter from
United States District Attorney Ady, of Kan
sas. in which he says: 1T is very evident
from present indications, viewed from the
nature of the pleadings already on file, that
this suit viii be tedious and hotly contested,
especially between the settlers and the pur-
chasers of the Indian titles. Mr.. Ogy in
forms me that the lands. uniUproved, are
worth largely n excess of the amount paid.
and take it that large amount of testi-
mony will be taken IN this case in order to
prove the heirship, the value of the lands and
to collect the rents and profits"

ments. made IN response to the ultimatum a
the Hst inss., are satisfactory to the president
of the United States, as indicating q good
prospect that the controversy can be adjusted
the usual diplomatic methods. The telegram
makes no request or suggestion of any kind
whatever for salute by Chill to the Amen-
can flag. There was nothing said at the cab
met meeting on this subject, and there Is no
reason to believe that this government will
require salute from Chilli. 1t is very posi-
BILE. however, that Chilli may of her own &C.
cord perform this graceful act at the termi-
nation of the diplomatic adjustment of all
difficulties which Is now in progress.

The Russian Famine.

ST. PEIERsBrRG, February 2.-The peas
ants of Veronezh, one of the famine-stricken
districts, exasperated by their suferings from
hunger and sickness, have, in blind, unrea-
soning way, turned their resentment against
the doctors, for the latter's failure to effect
cures. Many doctors have fed TO the interior
to escape the fury of the peasantry. In many
villages of Veronezh the military has been
called upon to suppress disorders. There is
great difficulty in persuading the authorities
here that there Is any famine at all.

Onward PEOPLE,

SAs ANTONIO, Tex, February Bel Mundo
Is the name of a Mexican newspaper pub
lished at Laredo by the widow of General
.gnacio Martinez. Martinez was a bitter
political opponent of the Diaz government
and was exiled from Mexico. About six
months ago he was assassinsted in the
dark on the streets CT Laredo by two horse
men, who-escaped without identification.
Nothing further ever developed, but it is be-
lieveJ that the essaSsins were secret agents of
the Mexican government employed for the
purpose.
El Mundo concludes an editorial in the
following language:
''Caterno Garza's cause Is much stronger,
notwithstanding the activity of the Mexican
government. There is no doubt the Mexican
people with few exceptions are dissatisfied
with the present administration. Onward
people. The hour of restoration Is near. Hail
to the sacred rights of the people. Down
