Can nIount Be Prosecuteds

Washington, Dee. 11.-Has James FL.
Blount been guilty of a crime against
the e1istance of a government as defined
in chapter 2 of the penal statutes? There
are number of enin ut senators learned
in law who think that he has. Mr..
Blount, when In Hawaii, held his Office
unknown to the law. He was particular
" designated by the president as My
personal rupresentatiS e." His name was
never srnt to the senate for its eonsids''
ton in connection with any Office. The
senate has ever advised or consented t.
his appointment to an office. SO far as
the statutes IF the United Mates go, he
was a private citizen when he was in
Hawaii. In his capacity as private clti-
z-a under the law h. engaged in cor
respondence with a foreign government,
Wbich, in the opinion of some of the
most eminent senators who have been
considering the subject, is, within the
meaning of the statutes, criminal. This
subject will undolbtadly be called TO
the attention of the senate at an early
dsy. 1t is clab1ed that Mr.. Blount,
rot having been an officer known to law,
ahd not having been confirmed by the sem
ate to any diplomatic posi- don, or to a
position of any sort, in his communica-
til rs with the Hswaii7h government

FOR THE KITTSoN HEIRS
THE FAMOUS HILL-FARLEY SUIT
DECIDED.
The United States Supreme Court De-
cides I'm Favor Of Htll, which La "a
Victory for the Kittson Heirs, Who
Now Expect some Money.

st. Paul, Dec. 12.-The Kttson heirs
and ]. J. Hill have again won the
famous Farley suit. The United States
81 preme court, the oripion being con-
CURED In by the full court, sustained the
decision of Judge Brewer, then of the
circuit court, disnissing the action of
Farley as without legal or equitable
Claim against the dcfe1d4 Is. The fol-
lowing telegram tells ths story Of the
decision:
"Ws shington, Dec. 12--Another, aud
doubtless a final, victory in the cele-,,
brated litigation between Jesae p. Farley
against J. ]. Hill and the heirs of the;
late Commodore Kittson, has been won
b. the Hill-Kttson interest. Justice;
Shiras, of the United States supreme!
court, delivered an opinion this morning,
which puts a quietus on the Farley claim.
Judge Shiras holds that Farley failed to
establish any legal or equitable claim to
a division of profits out of the sale Of the
old st. Paul & Pacific railroad As to
the other main point made by defendants
that Farley could not lay claim to di-
vision by reason of his position in
judiciary capacity with the St Paul u
Pacific as receiver, Judge Shiras did not
go into the legal merits of that PROPOSE
ton. This decision afirms Judge Brewer
in the United States circuit court, in
which he administered a stinging rebuke
to Farley. The opinion was concurred in
by the full court"
There was great rejoicing amorg the
kittson heirs when they were informed
of tie final outcome of the case. They
had no doubt, they said, Of the result,
but were interested because the case had
had the result of tying up the fuLjs of
the estate and preventing settlement.
The claim of Farley amounted to some
tl.iEg like $5,O0O,0OO, and while it was
peLding the courts declined to order a
PARTITION of the estate. 1t is now their
iiea that the preliminary steps to the
division will be taken, and that within a
few days the notices will be published.
The decision will be read with general in
terest, as the interest in the Kittson es-
tate is universal and the large funds have
been tied up for so long. 1t is believed
the Kttson estate will round up some
thing like $3,O00,00O, without the ac'
crued interest and earnings.
