DECIDES AGAINST M'KANE.
Judge Lacombe Leaves the Case to
the United States Supreme Court.

the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Lacombe. Of the United States
Circuit Court. sitting in chambers this
morning. denied the application of John
Y. McKane for a writ of habeas corpus.
The application. which was made last
Friday by Atchison & Griffin, counsel
for McKane, was based on a section of
the Revised Statutes which provides that
a prisoner shall have the option OF bail
pending an appeal. Judge Lacombe says
this section has frequently been invoked
to postpone the execution of the death
penalty, but because it permitted Of an
indefinite number of applications and
appeals without requiring a certificate
of reasonable doubt, the attention of the
public was called to 1t and Senator Vest
introduced a bill in Congress intended to
correct possible abuses Of the law. TIT
bill never passed and the statute re-
mains.
Judge Lacombe holds that McKane Is
now In the custody in which, he was
when the first application for his release
was denied, and from which an appeal
was TAKEN. and that he must remain In
that custody until the final adjudication
Of the appeal by the Supreme Court of
the United Safes.
Counsellor Thomas A. Atkinson, after
reading Judge Lacombe's decision, said:
The decision Is based upon a rule of
the Supreme Court OF the United States.
We still believe that the statute which
grants to prisoners the option OF bail
pending an appeal bears directly upon
Mckane's case. or course, we shall APP
peal from Judge Lacombe's decision to
the Supreme Court at Washington. Sub
sequently we shall apply to the Supreme
Court for a writ of habeas corpus upon
the same grounds as those upon which
our application to Judge Lacombe was
based. This second application to the
Supreme Court will not be In the nature
of an appeal. The rule of practice is that
applications in habeas corpus proceed,
ings must first he made to a United
States Circuit Judge. and If denied a
similar application may be made to the
high court as an Independent proceeding,
and without reviewing the decision of the
lower court"
Should Mr.. Atchison pursue the course
outlined above McKane will shortly have
before the United States Supreme Court
two appeals from decisions by Judge La
combe denying applications for writs OF
habeas corpus and an independent pro-
ceeiing asking for a writ Of habeas cor
pus.

WASHINGTON, March 10-The stRtisti-

able corn and the average. prices Of both
the merchRntable and understandable
The report is based upon returns Of a
corps OF correspondence of each county
Of several states and territories and also
by an independent corps Of statisticians
reporting through the state department.
All grain in the hands Of farmers, includ-
ing the surplus Of previous years, is em.
braCed in the estimates given.
The returns OF correspondence Of the
department throughout the great sur
plus states Indicate new factor in the
consumption Of wheat, viz: The feeding
Of the same to hogs, a fact due as de-
clsred to the unprecedented low prices,
the claim being made that this mode Of
disposing Of the cereal is profitable as
compared with marketing it for human
food.
The returns also indicate that consid-
ersble portions Of the wheat now in
farmers hands comes from crops prior to
that Of 1893, and especially from that Of
1891. '92. Such stocks have been held
principally by larger growers. Some
damage to such stores Is reported from
Michigan and Washington. The indi-
Gated stock Of wheat in farmers hands is
ia, 100000 or 28.8 per cent. of the volume
Of the crop Of 1893. This is nearly d.
100000 bushels less than the estimate
for March l last year, and nearly 2O,O0O,-

that he occasionally did deal in stocks,

from the south, realizing that sugar was
one Of the commodities that would, un-
questionablY, be under consideration in

to sell this stock at once and buy no
more for him. Since that time he has
sold all Of his stock except the AtChison.
