ACTOR DOWNING SUED.
MIR. KOppel Claims $1,000 for Per-
fOrmances of Sam md Delilah.

Tragedian Robert Downing, if the alega-
ticns of Mr.. Charles ID. Koppel are true.
has, in producing and performing in Sam
son and Delilah," trespassed upon the
rights, copyrighted ones, of Mr.. Koppel to
the tune of $500.
In a suit filed by Mr.. Koppel today against
Mr.. Downing the plaintiff alleges that on
the 18th of October, 1889, prior thereto and
up to and including the first day of last
March, he was the proprietor of a certain
dramatic composition, known as Samson
five-act tragedy, by Ippolito d'Aste, as
translated by w. ID. Howells. Mr.. Koppel
claims that he copyrighted the tragedy, as
performed by Salviri, the great Italian
tragedian, and that while he was yet the
proprietor of the composition Actor Down
ing, without the consent of the plaintiff,
did represent and perform and caused to
be represented and performed" the said
tragedy, under the assumed title of Sam
son and Delilah," for thirty-six times, in
Denver, Kansas City, Omaha, Chicago, Gin
cinnat and other large cities. Asserting
that Mr.. Downing gave such representa-
tons of the composition, contrary to the
copyright laws and to the right of the
plaintiff, Mr.. Koppel claims sI,2U0-$2Oo for
each OF the thirty-six representations.

JOYFUL JAPAN.
Negotiations of an Important Treaty
With Great Britain.

Japan has at last succeeded in an object
very dear to her people, and for which the
government has striven with all of the arts
of diplomacy for many years News has
been received here by the diplomatic corps
that new treaty has just been negotiated
between Japan and Great Britain. by The
terms of which the claim of extra territorial
jurisdiction by the latter is abandoned.
Negotiations looking to the ratification of
similar treaties are going on between Japan
and the United States and other European
nations than Great Britain, and ii is as
sumed that they will now speedily follow
the example set by the latter and fully
recognize the right of Japan to administer
justice in her own territory.
The Importance of Great Britain s action,
which, by the way, rather tends to dis
credit the stories that she is hostile to
Japan in her present war, lies in the fact
that it is really the recognition of Japan
as fully civilized power. The assertion of
extra territorial jurisdiction has always
been confined to barbarous and semf-civiliz-
ed countries, whose ignorance of the first
principles of justice and law seemed to
render imperative the retention by the
civilized nations of the power TO administer
justice where their own citizens were con-
cerned even as against natives OF the semi
civilized country and within its borders.
This has been done through the medium of
consular courts, and the system obtains in
Egypt, China, Japan, Turkey and many
ether countries.
Ever since the wave of civilization rolled
over Japan her sensitive and proud people
have resented the continuance of the eX-
ira territori al system, not solely because of
its workings. but also because it was a
standing declaration that Japan was not
civilized and was reflection upon the
Japanese judiciary. Therefore the action of
Great Britain in surrenderng this claim in
the new treaty is of great Importance to
Japan as marking a distinct epoch in her
advancement to the front rank of nations.

DREW-RODGERs LITIGATION
The Formers Claim to the Of11ce of
Chief of Police BEFORE the Court

The Formers Claim to the Off1ce of
Chief of Police Before the Court.
Yesterday Judge Catlin was engaged in
hearing depositions and arguments in
the case of Warren +. Drew against John
B. Rodgers, which was commenced by
the plaintiff for the purpose of having
Rodgers ousted from the office of Chief
of Police and himself reinstated therein.
The case had been continued from time
to time in order to allow Rodgers to pro-
cure certain dispositions from Australia
relative to the date of his fathers emf
grafton thence to the United States.
When these dispositions were offered yes
-terday by II. II. Devlin, Rodgers coun-
sci, they were objected to by Grove l..
Johnson, for the plaintiff. After hearing
arguments on that point the court ad-
mltted the evidence.
The defense then made the claim that
the proceedings in a former case were a
bar to the present action, but the court
held to the contrary. Considerable evil
dence was taken, Rodgers himself being
on the stand most OF the afternoon.
Plaintiff claimed the office on the
ground that Rodgers was ineligible there
to at the time of his election, that there
fore there was no election, and that he
Drew was entitled to hold over. He
claims that Rodgers subsequent appoint
ment by the City TrusIees-after he had
become naturalized- void, and that
he Drew was entitled TO hold the office
all the time that Rodgers has been per-
forming its duties.

though usually mild winter is not

have observed that crime is increasing,
and in a deplorable way. Robberies,
burg glaries and arson have been commit
ted in great numbers, but the offenders
were young men, who were unknown in
the detective bureau. Their otfenSes were
bungled and they were easily caught, but
they extended the rogues' gallery and
have gone to prison schools of crime.
| may not close this letter without a
reference to the resignation of Talmadge,
not because that event is important in it
self, but because it has been a large part
of the talk of New Workers during the
week. His resignation was accepted here
with a satisfaction hardly to have been
expected. No newspaper, think, missed
the chance to say something bitter against
him, and individuals have not restrained
a like feeling of disbelief in the celebrated
preachers sincerity. If it was certain
that his failure would be accepted as
demonstration that sensationalism in the
pulpit does not pay, as some people
think, his resignation would be an i'm
portant event. and the qualification to
New York would be of no little signiti-
cance. j. l.. ).
