FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
Attorneys for A, R. U. officers
Will Apply to Supreme Court.
They at Last Decide n That Is the
Best Course to Pursue-Debs and Ills
Companions In Jail Because
They Can't Help Themselves.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.--The attorneys OF
the convicted officers and directors OF
the American Railway union have at
last decided what legal course to pur-
sue. They will apply to the supreme
court for a writ of habeas corpus, with
out going through any OF the in
termediate courts. They have lit
Ito hope Of getting It, but this
will not deter them from using
their best cndeavors. In any ease the
main thing sought is TO put the higher
courts on record as favoring n con-
struction OF the law which absolutely
prevents strikes as they arc ordinarily
conducted by orders from some recog-
nigzed person or persons in authority.
In speaking OF the determination
OF the lawyers 20 adopt this
course Attorney Gregory today
said: There seems TO be a popular
idea hal Debs and his companions are
going to Jail of their own volition on
Monday next. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. The fact Is they
are going to jail because they cannot
help themselves. We have tried every
means in our power TO keep them ont
Of jail. but without avail. There is no
process OF law by which they might
have been kept out"

KINGSTON. n. Y, Dec. e2.-The Rev
Rr. Burtseli of this city said that hs
felt called upon to make a Statement,
In regard to the restoration Of Rev. DR.
McGlynn md his present standing In
tho priesthood. In accordance with
this statement ho furnished the follow,
ing for publication:
"Dr. McGlynn. from the day he wa.
relieved Of accommodation by Mgr
Satolli, was a priest in good standing
in the diocese of New York, and by
his w wish no proposition was made
TO have him appointed to any partic
u!ar locality. Mgr. Satolli gave him O
letter recommending him to all the
bishops OF the country, and suggested
that he DO allowed TO exercise his
rights as Il minister in any diocese he
might be in for the timo being,
1T was always understood, how
ever. that DR.. McGlynn had no
thought OF severing his connection
with the diocese Of New York, to
which he belonged.
Mgr. Satolli at that time declared
positively that DR.. McGlynn's teaching
on the land question were not in any
ensec contrary to the doctrine OF the
church, and that he was free TO main.

them, because they were merely a

HITS THE CHINESE HARD.
Christmas Presents Come High

Celestial Christmas Presents Come High
This Year.
New York, Dec. 2l.-The members
of the Chinese colonies Of this anl
other cities are weeping and wailing
over the fact that the wal in which the
Celestial empire is engaged has created
an immense advance in the prices of
Chinese Christmas goods. Every
Christmas tens OF thousands OF dollars
worth of salt eggs, sharks fins. joss
sticks, teas, silks and other articles
were imported by the Mongolians from
China as one of the features of their
religion in order that they eat, drink,
give presents and DO generally as
merry as their Caucasian brethren.
The bills of lading on the heavy
importations of the past month, how
ever, show that the Chinese Christmas
goods cost from ten TO fifteen times as
much as a year ago. while OF coursc
custom duties arc increased in proper
ton. The almond cved colestials not
being gifted with the faculty OF fore
sight knew nothing about the changed
conditions until notified to take tho
goods out of bond. Since then there
has been weeping and wailing aud
gnashing Of teeth, and savings that
have not been touched for many u day
have been depleted. The Chinese
blame the exporters for their failure to
notify them Of the tremendous advance
In the price lists.

CHASE ESTATE SOLD.
Growing Misfortune of Beautiful Kate
Chase Sprague.

h''
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-Mrs. Rather
inc Chase Sprague, eldest daughter OF
the late Salmon =. Chase, "the father
of greenbacks," organizer OF our pres
cnt system Of national banks, secretary
OF the treasury under Lincoln, and by
him appointed chief justice Of the
United States supreme court, has SUI
fered what seems must be the crown
ing misfortune Of her romantic, and, in
many respects, sorrowful life. Tues
day tho fine old estate, Edgewood,
near this city. the country homo of
Chief Justice Chase, and which he be-
queathed to Kate, was sold under the
hammer and passed into the care and
,Ieeping OF strangers, and Thursday the
household goods and art treasures col
lected by Judge Chase and his noted
daughter, in various parts of the world
were auctioned oil. Among other valu-
able things sold was the law library Of
the late chief justice.
That SO complete a breakup should
occur in little more than twenty years
after the death Of the chief justice is n
shining example of the "will o the
wisp' quality Of riches. Time was
when Katherine Chase held almost
royal sway in this city. OF late years
troubles and misfortunes of nil kinds
have come upon her thick and fast, SO
that she has been compelled TO court
retirement and privacy.
1t is said hat Mrs. katherine Chase
In her greatest %pecuniary distress has
firmly and unwaveringly cherished the
hope that Edgewood would eventually
sell for n sum sufficient to pay of all
her debts and leave a handsome sur
plus for herself and daughters.
This hope was almost on the point
Of realization when unhind fate again
dealt Mrs. Chase a hard blow. Charles
Hamlin. an antebellum member OF con
yress from Ohio, q friend and contem.
porarv of Salmon i. Chase, was looking
over the property with n view 10 pnr.
chasing it for $4,000.

though Mr.. Hamlin did not appear at

Edgewood passed away.
