Washington Grove Camp Meeting Associa-
ton Again.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The paragraph in The STAR of Friday even
ing relative to the Washington q rove suit shows
how men hate defeat and how they will wriggle
and squirm when it stares them in the face to
shake of its effect, and to try and fini just a
little consolation i'll an adverse decision with
costs. The statement in that par agraph how
ever, that 1.-The object of the bill was gained is
not correct. The court decided nothing what
ever as to the merits of the case pro or con,
for the simple reason that il had no jurisdic-
ton. Having no jurisdiction it is unnecessary
to add that it could not and did not attempt to
decide anything further, and the matter stands
today precisely where it did before the suit was
instituted, and the merest tyro in law knows
that the mere dictum of judge ina case in
which he has no jurisdiction as to what might
be were the case within his jurisdiction decides
nothing, is binding upon no one and is not nee
essarily good law. Indeed judges frequently
change their views after u case is before them
and they hear the arguments pro and con. In
fact, the belief Is quite general that such is the
case in the present instance, the judge
before argument fully believing the
case to be within his jurisdiction.
The facts are that a bunder was made by the
advisers" of the attorneys for complainant in
bringing the suit in a court having no juris-
diction. Smarting under the defeat, the more
humiliating because Of the blunder and 1.-The
cost" your correspondent would now like to
make it appear that after all the decision is
favorable to complainant. But it will not do.
People are too intelligent to be led to believe
that anything but a long bill Of expense for at
tOrneys fees, &C., has been gained in the dis
missal OF a suit for want OF Jurisdiction. Nor,
indeed. can people be led to believe that the
complainant, not Methodist but who came
voluntarily to live among them, and who has
been honored with office by them. is doing
what is right in involving the Camp Meeting
Association in law, to change a Metho-
dist practice as old as Methodism itself,
!. e., to allow each man one vote and
one only in the government Of its
affairs. That there is an old Maryland
statute permitting one vote in joint stock
companies for each share of stock has been
well known for years, but no one believes,
not even complainant himself, l suppose, that
1t was ever intended to apply to a religious
associ, alton. And not only Methodists, but
Christian people in general even in complain
ants own denomination, have as little sympa-
thy with him as would the people Of Maryland
were he to attempt to have enforced the old
statute, still on the books unrepealed. authoriz-
ing the boring of tongues. dc, for blasphemy
and non-observance of the Sabbath, or as would
the people Of Connecticut were he to move
there and attempt to enforce the blue laws be-
cause he found them unrepealed.

HUGH O'DONNELL ON TRIAL.
He IL Charged with Murder During the
Homestead Riots.

PITTsBURs. Feb. 13-The case of Hugh
ODonnell. the first chairman of Homestead's
famous advisory board, was called for trial be-
fore Judge Stowe this morning. ODonnell
is charged with murder during tine riot of
July 6. His is, perhaps, the most import
tant OF all the cases in connection with that
event. The theory OF ''go-early -to-avoid-the-
rush was given practical illustration, and the
criminal court was fairly packed long before
the court officers made their appearance.
1t was 1915 clock when the case was called.
O'DOnnell stood while the indictment charging
him with the murder of T. J. Corners. Pinker-
tou-the same upon which Clifford and
YritchlOw were tried-was read to him.
In response to the usual question,
O-Donnen replied firmly Not guilty" After
the preliminary details were disposed of the
work of empanellinG jury was begun and will
probably consume the greater part of today's
session of court.
O'Donuell is defended by Messrs. Anderson
OF Youngstown. Ohio; Erwin of st. Paul. Bren-
men. Marshall, Reardon, Cox and Montooth of
Pittsburg.

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION,
Another Conference With the Secretary of
State to BE Had Tomorrow.

StNte 10 DC nau IomOrrOw.
This has been rather an uneyentful day in
Washington so far as the Hawaiian aues-
ton is concerned. The annexation COM
missioners were TO have had another con-
ference with the Secretary of State today. but
at the suggestion of that &c ntleman il was post
poned until tomorrow in order to enable him
TO attend the meeting of the delegates TO the
monetary conference
The Hawaiian negotiations have reached a
point so near completion that there is every
reason to believe that the President will be able
to submit the question to Congress inside of the
next ten days, with a message giving his views
on the subject.
Hawaii has full-fedged government in
existence, and the disposition of the several
branches thereof, with their almost infinite
ramihcations into the life and business of the
country. requires patience and research The
revenues of the country are derived from yari-
GUS sources, and how to divide them between
the general government and the local govern
nett is a difficult question
What differences were experienced on this
point it is believed have been harmonized
and practical conclusion of the conferences
is looked for early in the week. But the date
OF the official adjournment will probably de-
pend upon the arrival of the representatives OF
the deposed Queen Liliuokalani The condi-
tions. however, indicate an early conclusion Of
the matter by the State Department.
In case annexation of the islands be recon-
mended by the executive, the method of ac-
comprising it remains TO be decided The
question has been discussed by those most
interested and it is understood that only two
modes of procedure are deemed feasible One
Is by treaty. which the Senate alone may ratify;
the other Is by ordinary act of Congress- re-
quiriug joint action of Senate and House.
1t Is believed that the former method will
be adopted. To make the treaty effective. OF
course, the House would have to appropriate
the necessary money, that while
the ratification of treaty of annexation by the
present Senate is a possibility. the execution Of
the terms of the treaty will be a heritage of the
next Congress and administration

DECISION IN THE PANAMA CASE.
1t is Claimed That 1t Was Controlled En-
tirely by Political Considerations.

LONDON. Feb. 13.-The Paris correspondent
of the Times reiterates his statement that the
trial and decision in the Panama case we're
influenced by political considerations and
quotes current gossip in Paris to prove
the correctness of his belief. The decis-
sion was altered. he says, after the speech of N.
Cavaignac so that IT might weaken the effect of
the speech by surprising VI. Cavagnac's declara-
tons in integrity. honor and national pride.
On Thursday. hours before the reading of
tho decision. VI. Eiffel informed that he
had been acquitted. The decision had been
completed originally the night before. but was
SO hastily and generally altered shortly before
it was delivered that Judge PerivIer could
hardly read it.
The Figaro saws that Charles de Lesseps has
received permission TO see his father. He will
be taken to La Chesnaye today, guarded by
detectives, and will return to Paris in the
evening.

Sherman's resolution to authorize the treasury.
in case of necessity for the maintenance of
specie resumption, to issue per cent five-year
bonds.
An accidental omission in an item previously
published on this subject resulted in a state
ment that ''our present per cent bonds were
carrying premium of % per cent or over" As
the context would probably indicate to all
familiar with the subject and with the market
quotations the sentence should have read:
Our present per cent bonds, il renewed for
