THE FIFTH AMENDMENT

PrecIudes the Possibility of Forcing
witness to give Self eliminating Evil
dence.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January lit
has now become settled law that wilt
nesses cannot be compelled to testify in
criminal cases where the answers might
tend TO criminate them in any way or
subject them to possible future prose-
cution. 1t is held that the fifth amend
ment to the constitution giving persons
the right to refuse to answer questions
which might be used against them in
criminal cases must be construed In It's
broadcast sense.
Such is the decision of the United
States Supreme Court to-day in the eel
ebrated r-State-Commerce case OF
Charles Counselman, appellant, VS..
Frank Hiscock, Marshal of the United
States District Court for the Northern
district of Illinois. This case is one OF
great interest to railroad men, and has
attracted widespread attention, Coun-
selman was asked whether he had ever
obtained any railroad rates on grain
shipments lower than the open rates to
all shippers.
He refused TO answer on the ground
that il might criminate him and claimed
the protection of the constitutional
guarantee conferred by the fifth amend
ment. Judge Gresham decided against
him, and held him in contempt Of court
for refusing to answer the questions,
and it is on appeal from Judge Ores
hams order that the case decided by
the Supreme Court to-day came up.
The Courts ruling is that Judge
Gresham'S order was erroneous, and
that Counselman cannot be compelled
10 testify. 1t has been said that the ef-
feet Of a decision by the Court that wit
nesses canDot be compelled to testify
will seriously hamper the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the admins
tration Of the Interstate Commerce
act.
The Court therefore rules that Coun-
selman was entitled to refuse to answer,
and directs that the judgment Of the
Circuit Court be reversed, and the case
remanded with directions to discharge
Counselman from custody. The Courts
decision was unanimous.

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD, PROPHET.
The United States to Rule This HemiS-
phere and England Asia.

CHICAGO, January 12.-Speaking OF
the destiny of the American Republic
Sir Edwin Arnold said:
"The United States will govern the
entire continent of South America. |
l have never been below the equator,
despite my somewhat extensive travel
ing, yet l believe that to be the land OF
the future. Bates, Of the Amazon, told
me that the great races Of the world
would eventually live below the equa-
tor.
The people Of the North have been
the people OF mighty intellect. That
will change. Some day they will leave
the cold and snow aud billiards. Eng
land will not grudge it because 1t is
rightfully yours.
England" he continued, has all
she wishes. India always will be ours.
Two men will always oppose a war over
that Countrywide Car Of Russia and
the Prime Minister of England, who
ever he may be. Still, just such a war
is inevitable, although it may not come
for many, many years.
''When, from unavoidable causes,
those countries come in conflict the Ro-
manoff dynasty will be wiped away for
ever. Every Russian throat east of the
Caspian will be cut and the khanateS
will reign once more in Asia. The rem
nGnts of the retreating Russian army
will face at home revolution which
will overthrow the reigning house.
"There is no truth in the talk Of our
small army. We can place more than
two million men in the field"

ENGLAND ALARMED
Over the Serious Illness OF the Duke O
Clarence.


LONDON, January 12.-Thongh yes
terday the physicians in attendance up
on the Duke of Clarance, took very
cheerful view of their patients condi-
ton, there is general opinion abroad
that the Duke is more seriously i'll than
his family and physicians would have
the general public believe.
Occupying the position he does, 1t is
but natural that the English people
should feel deeply concerned regarding
the outcome OF his illness and there is
little doubt their fears of break in the
line of royal succession has much to do
with the belief that the full extent Of
his illness has not been made public.
This morning the official statement
issued by the physicians says that the
inflammation Of the lungs, from which
the Duke is suffering, is pursuing its
course. They add that his strength is
well maintained but that no improve
ment can be reported.
This guarded statement Of the physi-
clans is taken to indicate that the con-
dition of the Duke is less reassuring
than it was yesterday and last night.
Reports from Sandriugham received
to-day by the Exchange Telegraph
Company state that the pneumonia is
developing into more severe type than
is announced by the physicians in their
statements for the information Of the
public.
A bulletin Issued from Sandringham
Hall at s o'clock this evening states
that although there is no marked
change in the condition of the Duke he
has grown somewhat better since morn
ing.

The proposition 70 delay all action on
silver coinage until an international
conference can be call I'd TO meet at Chi
cago during the Worlds Fair in 1898, is
one which the free coinage men in both
parties do not like. 10 is, nevertheless,
a proposition which Democrats, who
have an eye to the future success Of the
Marty, as well as to sound currency,
should Immediately and cordially sup
port.
Several able Democratic leaders in
Congress who represent the conssrva-
tive or ''gold-bug" sentiment Of New
York. Massachusetts and Connecticut
on the one hand, aud ca the other those
who represent extreme views ia the OPP
posite direction, held in some Southern
and in some Western States, have
agreed upon this programme. Such an
agreement could undoubtedly be carried
+brourb. and its wholesome effect upon
Democratic prospects in shelving the
so-called ''Silver issue in favor
~ the one matter on which
all Democrats are united, the
reduction of tariff taxation, is evident.
The unlimited coinage Of silver has
no serious advocates east of the Missis-
slim; or north OF the Potomac, and the

The Coert BIAS Pointed Out a Remedy
For the Difficulty.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 12.-
The decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States in the Counselman
caSe-is the subject Of much discussion.
Hon. W. K. Morrison, the member Of
longest service on the Interstate Com
mission, does not view the situation
with the Encouragement that has been
manifested by some other friends of the
Interstate law. An Associated Press
reporter inquired Of him:

can be removed by legislation?"
eyes, " replied Mr.. Morrison, sit can
ba partially removed. The court points
the way to u remedy. That way is:
Give immunity or let 90 unwhipped Of
justice one guilty party who is made to
testify against another"
The remedy which the court suggests
and TO which Mr.. Morrison refers, is
contained In the following paragraph
of the decisions: 1--WE are clearly of the
opinion that no statute which leaves the
witness subject to prosecution after he
answers the eliminating questions put
TO him, can have the effect of suppant-
ing the privilege conferred by the Con-
Sttution OF the United States. In view
Of the constitutional provision statu-
tory enactment to be valid must afford
absolute safety from prosecution for the
oiense to which the question relates"
