MUCH PLEASED WITH WHITE.
The Right Man Came at the Right
Moment.

Washington, Feb 20-Justice White,
the new member of the United States
supreme court, Will be sworn in on
March 5, that being the first day of the
spring term. He will at once be called
upon to take part in the consideration
of more important litigation than has
greeted the new justice in years. For
many weeks the court has been anX-
iously awaiting a full bench, and in
the meantime important cases have
been fixed for hearing for such a time
as the new justice should take his
place on the bench. These cases were
finally set for March 5, in the hope that
the nomination and confirmation
might be made by that time
The records of the supreme court
show that the accession of Justice
White leaves New York state without
"a representative in the court for the
first time since 1906, the only excep-
ton since the court was esta bliShed
The exact succession from New York
is as follows: John jay Chief JUSTICE,
17S9-1794; Brockholst Livingston, 1876
1923; Smith Thompson, 1S23-1S49; Sam
uel Nelson, 1S45-1S72; Ward Hunt 1872
1882; Samuel Blatchford, 1SS2-1S9S.
The justices and officials of the SUI
preme court are especially gratified at
the choice of Justice White. He has
been much among them, and there
we're hopes expressed as far back as
the rejection of Hornblower, that the
Louisiana senator would be chosen.
This was due mainly to the fact that
the court has lacked an authority on
civil law embraced in the Juctan code
and the latter Napolonia code All
states Of the Union, except Louisiana,
founded their laws on the English COM
mon laws but Louisiana founded her
system on the Napoleonic code, which
came from the Roman civil law. When
the late Justice Bradley was on the
bench, he made a study of civil laws
and spent much of his time in Louis
lana. for this purpose. He became an
authority in the court on such ques-
lions, but since his death all the jus
tees have been common law lawyers.
Justice White now comes equipped
with experience at the bar and on the
bench of Louisiana under their civil
code

Apsley and Post were excused when

most of the session.
The five members in custody who had
= not been excused were then brought to
the bar of the House. Like school boys
they we're ordered by the Speaker. to
give excuses for being absent from the
House without leave.
The members crowded about the
area where the truants were ranged in
a row and enjoyed the situation i'm
mensely.
Burrows wanted TO know if there
was anything in the order to the ser
geant-at-arms combining the arrest of
members to the Republicans.
The Speaker replied, good-humored-

Rising to an alleged parliamentary
inquiry, Grosvenor asked whether the

Paris, Feb. 2O-The city has been
startled by another bomb explosion.
A man of suspicious appearance, Civ
ing the name of Ravaly, recently
hired furnished apartment in a small
hotel on the Rue st. Jacques. He
disappeared on Monday, and did not
return last night.
Early this morning Madame Gala
bresi, wife of the proprietor, knocked
at his door Receiving no response,
she endeavored to open it, but found
an obstruction which, on examination,
proved to resemble a bomb. She called
her husband, who summoned a police
man.
The latter put his shoulder to the
door, and burst it open, throwing the
bomb to the floor, and causing a fear
IuI explosion, wrecking the inside of
the building, terribly injuring Madame
Calabresi, and slightly hurting her
husband, together with Monsieur and
Madame 1smael and other inmates of
the house who had been attracted to
the spot by the appearance of the
policeman.
An uncle of Madame Calabresi was
pierced through the body by a bullet
from the bomb.
No reason is known for the act of
the anarchist, unless he had a grudge
against the proprietor, as the house
belongs to the poorer class and is not
such as the foes of society would
select to terrify the bourgeoise
The excitement was intensified this
forenoon when the project of police
received a note, signed "Ravally," say
ing he intended to commit suicide at

similar character to that where the
explosion occurred. Investigation re-

which exploded, that been similarly
placed in the hotel mentioned.
The authorities were rather ginergly
about handling it; but it was finally
removed without causing an explosion
Both places are under guard by the
police.
The excitement was still added to
later, when it was discovered am at
tempt had been made to blow UP the
handsome buildings of the ministry of
foreign affairs. A metal bomb was
found lying at the entrance.
There is no foundation whatever for
the report that a bomb was found at
the entrance or in any other part of
the foreign Office. The whole sensa-
ton originated from the fact that some
bicyclist dropped his air-pump, used to
initiate his pneumatic tires.

1T IS AN ENIGMA.
The Southern Pacific Rings in a
Three-Card Puzzle.

Chicago, Feb. 2O.-The Southern
Pacific has taken action which. while
evidently leveTed at the Atchison, is
difficult for railroad men to understand.
1t has no line to San Diego and has
issued a circular saying that hereafter
it will not honor San Diego tickets
over the Southern California because
of the arbitrary rate demanded. It
virtually amounts to a refusal to ham
die San Diego business on any terms.
There is something behind this move.
but the railroad men here say they
don't know what it is. 1t was re-
ported, today, that the Canadian
Pacific has decided to accept the four
per cent. of the trans-COntinental busi-
ness offered by the Western Passenger
.associat ton, in lieu of the differentials
claimed on business between Victoria
and San Francisco by the water route.
Whether the Canadian Pacific accepts
or declines makes but little difference
now, as the trouble between the
Southern Pacific and the Atchison is
likely to upset trans-continental busi-
ness badly

GLADSTONE WAS MILD.
Those Who Expected n Fiery Speech
Were Disappointed.

London, Feb. 2O-The galleries of
the house of commons were crowded
today, in anticipation that Gladstone
would attack the house of lords for its
late legislative obstructive tactics. The
premier was loudly cheered as he en-
tered. After answering the question
by saying the Brazilian insurgents had
not shown force enough to entitle them
to recognition as belligerents, he moved
to discharge the order of the employ
ers' liability bill, saying in brief, a
large proportion of the working classes
were opposed to the lords amendment;
therefore the government had no OPP
ton but to withdraw the bill.
The Radicals who had expected Glad
stone to make an attack on the lords,
showed Disappointment as the speech
progressed. The premier, in his mild
est tones. argued simply against the
contracting OUT amendment, saying
from all the evidence presented, he
thought the working people and friend
ly societies objected to the lords pro-
vision. The government. believed the
working people were the best judges
in matters related to their own affairs
Cheers, and if the amendments were
incorporated in the bill, the Workmens'
security would be impaired, and they
would be deprived of all benefits of the
bill.
Balfour, Conservative leader, was
also heartily cheered. He defended the
lords amendments, claiming the work
ing people favored them. Balfour said
he represented an industrial constit-
uency, and he had not received a sin
gle objection to the amendment Both
the Unionists and Liberals were sent
to the commons by the working class,
upon whose support both were de-
pendent.
Replying to questions on the subject,
A. j. Mundell, president of the board
of trade, said he was informed by
agents of the steamship New York that
she had not brought back from New
York large numbers of Italians and
Polish aliens who had been refused adj
mission to the United States. The
total people brought back was eighty
five, who had been refused admission
under the contract law, and three
whose destination was unknown.
Finally, the house, by a vote of 225
to 6, adopted Gladstones notion and,
amid loud laughter, the bill was with
drawn.
The house rejected all the important
amendments made by the lords to
parish councils bill and accepted the
unimportant amendments, and then
adjourned until Saturday

GETS BACK HIS PROPERTY.
and How He Was Pro-
tected.

Cleveland. Feb. 2O.-The property of
Governor and Mrs. Mckinley. con-
veyed to trustees last summer when
the governor was forced to make an
assignment, has been transferred back
to them. This result is due to the eff
fort of the trustees, h H. Kohlsaat, of
William R. Day, of Canton.
When they received the trust they
decided, without consulting the gov
ernor, to raise the money with which
to meet the governors obligations. This
has been fully done by private sub
scriptions. Finally the papers have
been filed in the probate court at Can
ton, and the property decided back to
Governor and Mrs. Mckinley and the
trustees discharged.

JEALOUS OF THE HEATHEN.
Why Young Ladies Should Not Teach
Chinumen.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-The fear that the
young lady teachers who instruct
Cinnamon in the Sunday schools will
be injured by association with the Ce-
lestials, has caused serious trouble in
an aTistocratic Presbyterian church in
opposition to the school which the
church has established.
Some gentlemen of the congregation
have formed an anti-Chinese Sunday
school society. They claim, because a
lady teacher is assigned to each Chi
nese pupil, the young teachers are in
great danger from close personal con-
tact with the Chinaman. Cases of mar
riage of teachers and pupils are cited
and a determined effort to rescue the
young ladies from their peril will be
made.
The entertainment to be given by
100 Cinnamon to the ladies of the church
last night brought matters to a focus.
