MAY ARREST THE GOVERNOR
JaoksonviiIe's City Ordinance Prevents
Him From stopping the Fight.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 16-The serious
part OF the Corbett-Mitchell dilemma seems
to be passing away, and the comical side is
beginning TO make itself felt. A number
Of attorneys were discussing the question
in one Of the hotel corridors when one re-
marked in a joking manner, "The governor
or the sheriff dare not interfere with this
contest, because either would be liable to
Imprisonment and fine and perhaps both "
This was laughed at, and the attorney,
procuring a copy Of the city ordinances,
turned to where it stated that any person
found guilty of interfering with or pre-
venting the operation of any Of tho ordi-
nances was liable to a fine OF 800 or inn
prisonment for 30 days.
Judge Gibbons of the municipal court
was asked IL the law had been rightly in.
terpreted. 1T is true" said Judge Glib
bons. "By interfering with the Corbett.
Mitchell contest the governor, sheriff OF
militia would be liable to fine aud impris.
onment. The ordinance allowing such a
contest cannot be interfered with even by
the governor"
What would you do If the executive
should be brought before you on such Z
charger
"Well, >" replied the Judge, II should b,
governed by circumstances. At any rate
should do my duty"
When this new phase of the question be
come noised about, lawyers and sports
were highly amused. They thought Il
would be a huge joke should Governor
Mitchell be forced to spend a month il
Jail for preventing a glove contest.

LiiIuokaiani Cannot SUI.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1e-The rumor that
ex-Queen Liliuokalani is about TO bring
suit against the United States for a very
large sum Of money, basing her claim to
damages on the presidents recent Hawaii.
an message and Secretary GreshAm's let
ter, has created a good deal OF interest In
official circlos Suit cannot be brought by
an individual against the government, and
there is no method Of procedure through
the courts which the ex-queen could take
to prosecute her claim.
The only course which Liliuoknlani can
pursue is TO submit her claim against the
United States. Congress would have to
approve this before the claim could be ad
judged by the court Of claims. In fact th,
only recourse of the ex-queen is TO con
gress, where, In view Of her present un
popularity, she could hardly expect X
meet with satisfaction OF success.

A Spirited Tariff Debate.
The consideration Of the tariff debate un-
der the five minute rule was begun In the
house. A stirring debate occurred over the
question Of procedure, the Republicans in
sisting In their right to offer amendments
alternately with the Democrats, but the
chairman ruled that Mr.. Wilson, represent
ing the committee, had the right first to
offer amendments looking to the perfec-
tion OF the bill.
Only three amendments were disposed Of
-none Of material moment The attempt
OF Messrs. De Forest and Sperry OF Connec-
ticut to secure the adoption OF an amend
ment increasing the duty on Sumatra cigar
wrappers to the present rates was defeated.
The debate concluded with a brilliant
tilt between Mr.. Cochran and Mr. Reed.
These two leaders crossed swords In one OF
the most interesting word duels Of the de-
bate, and when they finished each side
claimed the victory
Mr.. Reed began by following a speech
by Mr.. Cochran with; ut Is strange that
with all the eloquence possessed by the
gentleman from New York he should re.
sort TO that which Is merely physical.
LRepublican laughter and applause The
gentleman wants to know why the unem.
ployed are wandering about the streets

Mr. Cochran interrupted to say that he
referred not TO the Mckinley law, but e

system had been in operation At the end

Bond Issue.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The senate after
a contest Of moro than six hours rejected
the nomination of w. b. Hornblower Of
New York as associate justice Of the SUI
preme court by a vote of 80 to "a. A great
deal Of interest was manifested in this case
because of the fight which Senator Hill OF
New York made against the confirmation.
The principal speeches Of the afternoon
were made by Senator Hill against and by
Senator Villas Of Wisconsin in favor OF con-
firmauon. Senator Hill talked for over an
hour and half and Senator Villas for two
hours. Both were powerful speeches from
their respective standpoints and were spo-
ken Of highly by those who heard them.
Senator Hill began Immediately after the
doors were closed in support Of the adverse
report OF the judiciary committee. He
maintained that the committee had care.
fully and deliberately weighed all the evi.
dence before IL; that the conclusion had
been reached only after the most painstak.

the determination reached was based upon
all the facts presented.

Mr.. Hill dwelt at some length upon the
Importance Of position on the supreme
