SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-The Su-
preme Court hes just rendered decision
that makes the new game law providing
for the punishment of persons having
deer skins in their possession out of
season imperative.
A test of the law has just been made in
a Humbodt County case. p. Ashbill.
David Mackey and Lancaster Loftin were
arrested for having deer skins in their
possession out of season. They were
found guilty of breaking the game law,
and sentenced to pay fine of 500 and to
serve fifty days in Jail. They appealed
to the Supreme Court for writ of habeas
corpus, on the ground that they were
illegally held.
The Supreme Court calls attention to
the inconsistency of the law, which pro-
vides that it is unlawful to sell deer skins
ct any time, and also unlawful to have
possession of them after October 10Th. 1t
asks what Is to be done with the skins
when the season closes, and inquiries
how the destruction of all deer skins
will aid in the preservation of deer. Says
the court:
I'VE see nothing in the law, either in
Its language or purpose, which would
sustain the construction contended for
by the prosecution. No of1ense known
to the law being charged, the prisoners
should be dismissed"

VICTORIA (B. c., Sept. 25.-The
steamer Empress of India arrived to-
night from the Orient bringing the fol-
lowing advices:
YOKOHAMA, Sept. 14-No one now
doubts that the long delay in the Japa-
nese military movements is to allow
time for the completion of great plan Of
invasion. Any day may bring news ola
battle in Northern Corea, and of the sail
ing of $4,000 troops for some point on the
inner coast of the Gulf of Pechili.
But as the decisive time approaches,
the Japanese authorities grow more and
more deaf to appeals for information.
They frankly declare that secrecy is one
of their chief conditions of success. This
belief is not agreeable to the newspaper
correspondents who have recently ar
rived from San Francisco and who
strongly desire to be admitted to the con-
tidence of the Government.
An impression has been COM
veyed by English papers in West
ern Asia that abundant and trust
worthy supplies of news can be OBJ
tanned in China. An examination
of the kilograms sent from Chinese ports
to Europe and America does not sustain
the belief For their various accounts of
the events since the fight at Asan there is
scarcely any foundation.
The Japanese, if silent, do not attempt
to mislead on vital points. One error,
and one only. is laid to- their charge.
They are accused of circulating doubtful
reports to the effect that Admiral Free
mantle exculpated Japan from technical
blame in the matter of the sinking of the

ligious liberty which is guaranteed them

with and encouragement of that pro-

eXecration at the hands of every fair

State Convention last week distinctly

DENIM"
Senator Hill declared that Governor
Flower was among the greatest Gov
ernors New York State has ever had, and
he predicted that Lieutenant-G Governor
Sheehan, whom he designated as young
and brilliant. would have dazzling
future. The Senator then concluded as
follows:
sinking every prejudice, subordinat-
ing every selfish consideration, actuated
only by high and patriotic motives, real
lzing how much is at stake to be won or
lost, mindful of the grand traditions
which belong to the party of Jefferson.

Democracy in this State means an old

like the Macedonian phalanx of old, with
locked shields and measured tread. to the
contest that awaits US, with courage with
resolution, with confidence, believing our
cause is just and that God and the right
will surely give us the victory"
Senator Hill was frequently interrupted
/ by applause, particularly in his arraign-
ment of the Mckinley tariff. President
Cleveland's name set the convention
wild, and Senator HIPS Communications
were loudly cheered.
When he alluded to the A. p. A. and
condemned its methods, there was APP
plause from almost every person in the
house. Aliusions to the record of Gov
ernor Flower evoked very hearty ap-
plause. At the close of the speeches the
