THEY ARE FIGHTERS,
But Edward and Frank VIII Not Figh
for SIX Months.


The X street bridge came near being the
scene Of homicide last night, when three
young negroes met and engaged in a fight.
Edward and Frank Harris were together
ed little nearer the two brothers than
the latter thought necessary and one of
them asked: "Who in the h are you
walking over?'
II amt walked over you" was Buseys
response
''You want to fight?" asked one Of the
brothers. Come over the bridge and I'll
give you all you want"
II don't want to fight" said Busey. I'm
going home"
He did not go home. however. before the
two brothers came near killing him. One
Of them dealt him a severe blow and then
on him. The sharp weapon inflicted an
ugly wound and the victim soon afterwards
appeared in a drug store, where his wound
was dressed.
Policeman O'Brien Of the third precinct
heard of the affair and he went to the home
of the Harris brothers and arrested them.
They appeared in Judge Miller's court
this morning to answer a charge of assault
and Edward was also charged with con-
cealed weapons.
In disposing Of the assault case Judge
Miller said he would give the defendants
six months each and said he would make
as there was no work down there for them
to do. Edward was given an additional
sentence of six months for having the
razor.

In the Laws ms TO OHenses on Govern
.f.l- meut Reservations.

Secretary Lamont recently called the at
tention of the House to a curious omission
in the laws II seems that according TO the
construction given by various United States
courts IN the west there is no law In force
upon government reservations to punish
persons guilty OF offenses not specifically
named in the United States statutes or
made such by laws enacted subsequent to
the date when section 5.Sa went into ef-
feet, which was previous to the admission OF
Colorado as a state.
The incident which gave rise TO the effort
to change the law, and demonstrated the
necessity therefor, occurred at Fort Logan,
Col, July s. 1880. Three Chinese laundry
men employed at the post were taken out
at night by a party OF citizens, headed By
w. 4. Curran, and repeatedly strung up
with a view TO extorting a confession OF
theft of certain articles belonging to MIRA
Curran. Curfan and his companions were
indicted for melting a riot and committing
an assault. under the provisions OF section
$751; A motion to quash the Indictment
was sustained by Judge Hallett. who said:
This section first enacted In lS2S
and again In 1866. and IL refers to the laws
OF states then existing. As Colorado was
not then q state in the Union none OF fta
laws were adopted or put I'm force by this
act This section will never be operative
in Colorado to put in force the laws of the
state I'm respect TO crimes commftted ON
government reservations unless re-enacted %

COroners and the Court.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

10 tne EtltOr u 1ut bsenile SiAA.
In your issue Of last evening "C'' makes
an argument for the appointment of the
coroner by the court. He writes: 1T is the
function Of the coroner's office to ferret out
foul play in cases Of unknown death, and
1t therefore belongs to the judicial branch of
the District government The conclusion
does not necessarily follow the premises.
since 1t is the duty of the police department
to ferret out violations of the law to as
great an extent as it is the duty of the
courts to do so.
am aware that the grand jury is charg-
ed to investigate cases of alleged violations
of the law, and that this is done under the
direction of the district attorney, who is
an officer of the court. The district attor-
nor can he be removed by it, Moreover,
in the present highly organized state of
society, the vast majority Of cases present
ed to the grand jury by him are brought to
his attention through the police The work
of the court in ferreting out crime is at
the present day reduced to a minimum by
the thorough organization of the police
system, and this system is essential to mu-
nicipal government. The duty Of the court
1t at the present time almost confined to
judging cases in which il is already alleged
.nat some violation OF the law exists. / am
referring now only to criminal cases, with
winch alone the coroner'S Office has to deal
1t Is just here that the duties of the
coroner separate from those of the court
In an inquest held before a coroner there
is never any violation of the law alleged
1t is his duty with the assistance of the
jury to investigate facts relating to a
death and to determine whether they are
sufficient to warrant any violation of the
law being charged. If such is found to be
the case he reports the facts at once to
the judicial branch of the government for
further investigation and trial 1t is to
be noted that this is exactly the work with
which the police are charged. The duty of
coroner is therefore essentially police
duty and there is no more reason for the
appointment of the coroner being made
by the court than there is for the appoint-
ment of the officers of the police department
in the same way.

To secure such one under the conditions
was evidently beyond the financial ability
of the parish; and the board were constrain-

ment reported in 1856, toward the reduc-

from the failure of subscribers to its build

on our part was conditioned upon the pay

and the notes, originally 5000, now stand
at $2,506."
International Arbitration.
With reference to the matter Of inter-
national arbitration, which has received so
much attention at the hands of different
churches of late years. the report said:
cat our meeting of October, 1892, a COM
munication was received from Rev. r. s.
Hubert Of the Collegiate Reformed Church
in the city Of New York, requesting the
with other churches in an international
petition to the governments Of the world
in behalf of peaceful arbitration a
means of settling questions that arise be-
tween nations and to appoint delegates to
a conference to be held in the city of Chi
cago during the Columbian exposition. The
secretary was instructed to signify the con-
currence of the Universalist Church in this
petition and Rev. A. a. Miner, D. D.. LID.
of Boston, Mass, and Rev. A. ]. Garfield,

were appointed delegates to the proposed
