AGAINST THE GOVERNOR.
Judge Philips Refuses to Grant
the Release of the St. Clair
Judges.

kansas CRY, March Judge
Phillips Of the United States circuit
court in chambers this morning rend-
cred his decision in the noted case of
the St. Clair judges who applied for
release on a writ of habeas corpus
The judge refused to grant their re-
lease on that ground. In the course
of his decision Judge Phillips took
occasion to object most strenuously
othe message recently issued by Cover
nor Stone. recommending that such
cases be placed within the jurisdiction
of the state court instead of the federal
court. 1t will be remembered that
the case is similar to the Cass county
case and that the judges were inpris-
oned for contempt of court for refus-
ing to issue a special tax levy to pay
bonds for the purpose of building
railroad that was never constructed.

A Pair Of BruteS.

BUTTE, Mont, March Nv. A.
Maber, the Australian weller weight
and Dannie Needham Of st. Paul,
fought to a finish last night. The
fight lasted thirty-six rounds and COLI
sumed two hours and twenty minutes
and was for purse of ST. 800. Maber
won. Both men entered the ring at
147 pounds and were in prime con-
dition. Needham had the best of the
fight up to the eighteenth round,
knocking Maber down twice during
that time. The next six rounds were
devoid of interest. After that Maber
began to get the advantage, though
he was knocked to the earth in the
twenty-seventh round. But that
seemed to make him more determined
to win, and from then on he fought a
hard and furious battle. Maber led
for Needham's face and landed nearly
every time, infiicting severe punish
ment. At the end of the thirty-fifth
round Needhamis face WAS badly
bruised, lis left eye was closed and
lip bleeding. In the next round
Needham received Il terrific upper cut
and went down. The referee awarded
the fight to Maber, saving that Need
ham would fight until he died. Maber
is not badly punished.

RUSHING THINGS.
Congress is Passing the Appro-
priation Bills and There
Will Probably Be No
Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. March L.
With the precision of clockwork and
the speed Of rushing steam the appro-
priation bills are being taken up in
congress now and disposed of, and it
looks as though nothing would be
heard of an extra session till next fall.
The only thing which could cause an
extra session, it is now believed, would
be financial panic, an exigency so
remote that it is seldom mentioned.
All the appropriation bills will be
passed, it is stated by the leaders of
the two houses, and since the drain
upon the free gold has about ceased
president Harrison having yesterday
decided again that no bonds should be
issued under anv circumstances no
financial trouble is anticipated.
The obstructionists in the house
have quit their objections. The work
goes along rapidly, although at times
the debates are stormy Little things
10 not stand in the way of progress
The -undry civil bill, from which
trouble was feared, ceaseito be trouble
some, owing 10 the abandonment. to
which the silvermen of the house
objected. The danger of an extra
session was thus obviated. Ii was
understood that Mr.. Cleveland did
not care for the amendment. The
bill is now accordingly in the hands
of the committee.
Pension bills CARRYING over $780,
000, 900 were passed finally, although
it was shown by June 80, 1894, there
will he 1, 100, 900 pensioners and $780,

conference report on the military
academy bill has been approved by the

FIGHT FOR CHILDREN.
A Sensation at Liberty, Ken
lucky, Which Extends to
Missouri.

LIBERTY, KY, March IA sensa.
tional trial has just been concluded
here, the result Of which is that John
Heffner, of New York City, late OF
Higginsville, No., secured possession
of his two children, after years OF
separation and after he had spent $50
900 in searching for them. In 1886
John Heffner and his wife lived at
Higginsville, No., but their conjugal
relations were unpleasant and they
separated in April of that wear. Mrs.
Heffner applied for divorce
and asked for the custody of her
children, a boy and girl IL and IL
wears old. Her petition was dismissed
and the divorce was refused. Shortly
after this Hetiner went to New York,
and in December secured u divorce
from Mrs. Hefiner. The court put
the children under his care. The de-
cree of the court left him free to re-
marry. After securing his New York
divorce Heffner left at once for Hig-
ginSville, To get possession of his chill
dren. bur upon his arriving there was
informed by friends that his wife had
left town with Edward Claypool, tax
ing the children. and giving no in
timation of the route they proposed to
travel. Heffner returned to New
York and gave up the hunt. Two
weeks ago he met an old friend, who
told him that she had Just re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Heffner,
and that she and Claypool and the
children were living at Grove, Ky.
Hetfner Immediately proceeded to Hig-
ginsville, No.. where he secured the
necessary evidence, employed a law
yea and started for this state. They
arrived on Friday. The writ of habeas
corpus was procured and Mr.. and
Mrs. ClaypOol were forced to appear
in court and show cause why Mr..
Heffner should not be given possession
of the children. After hearing all
the evidence and arguments Judge
Meyers decided the case in favor Of
HeAner. Mrs. Claypoors attorney
then filed motion for rehearing,
signing the name Of Claypool to the
petition, but Heffner's lawyer made
the point, which was sustained, that
the action to recover the children was
brought against Ms. Heiner and not
against Mrs. Claypool that she was
illegally married to Claypool. and that
she could not legally bring any action
under his name. This put a stop to
the wOmans resistance, and Heffner
was given the children.

THE FOURTH OF MARCH.

In con- --.m with the popular but
evidently mistaken idea that March 4
was selected as Inauguration day be
cause it occurred less frequently on
Sunday than any other day in the
year, it NAV be well enough tn call
attention to The manner in which the
original selection was made.
When the constitutional conven-
ton finished its labors at Philadelphia
in September l1s7 the text of the
constitution was transmitted by
George Washington, president of the
convention, to congress then IN ses
sion at the city Of New York. 1t
was referred by congress to the states
and on july >, 1893, the president of
congress reminded that body that New
Hampshire had ratified and that it
was the ninth state, and therefore,
sufficient for the establishment of the
CONSTRUCTION between the state ratily-
ing; whereupon a committee was ap-
pointed to examine the acts of ratifi-
cation and report an act to congress

the place for commencing proceedings
under the said constitution.
From this it will be seen that there
was exactly a months time between
each of the three very essential acts of
appointing electors-assembling the
electors in their respective states-and
commencing proceedings" As a
matter of fact the first, Wednesday in
March 1889, fell on the fourth of that
month, and while the president was
not inaugurated on that day, owing to
the absence of a quorum of congress,
the proceeding" began by meeting
and adjourning from day to day.
The first president was inaugurated
in April, 1889, and three years after
ward in March, 1892, a law was passed
(Sec. 152, r. S. } to the effect that the
term of four years Of the president and
vice-president shall commence on the
4th day of March following their cleo
