Notes from the CAPITOL.

One sheet OF the river and harbor appropri-
alton bill as received in the House has been
found to be missing and the bill was at once
returned to the Senate for correction.
The willlams-Settle election case. owing to
the unavoidable absence of Mr.. Woodward,
who made the report favoring Williams, was
postponed yesterday and will not come up
until next session.
The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday
agreed to favorably report the nomination OF
Il. C. Morris. to be United States marshal for
the district of Connecticut. and also the NOM
nations of J. A. McDermott and Clark Glib
son. to be marshal and district attorney for
Wyoming.
The nomination of W. H. Marbury to be
district attorney for the district of MARYLAND
was favorably reported by the Judiciary Com
mittee on July 25, but has not been acted
upon by the Senate.
Great pressure is being brought to bear
upon Chairman Bankhead. of the Committee
on Public Buildings, to call up the various
bills on the calendar Wednesday That day
has been given by the Rules Committee for
public buildings and there are more bills than
can possibly be considered in one day
Representative Richards. of Ohio. has in
troduced in the House a bill involving an i'm
portant change in the manner OF conducting
the work of Congressional committees. pro-
viding that every session of legislative body
OF the national Congress shall be open to tine
public. If it passes it will eifectually do away
with star chamber proceedings in all Con-
gressioral matters.
Some time since Secretary Gresham sub
mitred to the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations proposition to settle the damages
to Canadian sealers which were seized by the
United States vessels previous to the Paris ar
bitration. The amount Of damages will have
to he aseertained, and the only question in
voiyed is the manner in which this is to be
accomplished. 1t is probable that a board
will be created which will be composed of
commissioners Of both the United States and
Great Britain, although it is possible that
certain officers already in the diplomatic serv-
ice OF both countries may be designated to
act.

NEW JAPANESE MINISTER.
Shiniehiro Kurino viii Succeed Gozo Ia.

tive in the Limited States.

tive IN the IniteQ Suites.
Immediately after the announcement of
the recall of Mr.. Coco Tateno as Japanese
Minister to this country it was stated that
Mr.. Kentaro Kaneko had been appointed to
this post This was an error due, it Is sup
posed, to q mistake in transmission Of the
name.
A telegram was received at the Japanese
legation yesterday announcing the appoint
ment Of Mr.. Shinichiro Kurino. chief Of the
diplomatic bureau of the department for
foreign affairs. to be envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to the United
States.
Mr.. Kurino was one of the students VINO
were sent to this country by the government
oil Japan as soon as that government decided
upon the policy of sending her young men
abroad to pursue the course OF studies in col
leges and universities of Europe and America.
Some twenty years ago. when Mr.. Kurino lad
thoroughly mastered the English language,
he devoted himself to the study of law in the
Cambridge law school at Harvard. Subse-
quently, upon his return 20 Japan, he re-
ceived an appointment in the department of
foreign affairs, where he especially dealt with
matters involving legal questions. few
years later he interested himself in the postal
administration, and while holding an import
ant position III the imperial department OF
communications inaugurated many improve
ments in the postal and teiegraphic service Of
the Japanese government.
In the summer of 1891, when certain
changes were introduced in the organization
OF the department for foreign affairs. he was
appointed chief OF the diplomatic bureau.
Within the last three years many important
questions have arisen in the international re-
lations of Japan, including the abrogation of
the consular jurisdiction clause OF the treaty
concluded with Portugal, the claims against
the Korean government for damages accru-
ing from certain alleged arbitrary actions of
the local authorities of that country. and the
present difficulty eliminating in the declara-
tion of war between Japan and China. In
all these questions Mr.. kurino has figured
prominently.
His abilities and high character are recog-
nized not only by his own government but
also by the officials of the foreign govern
ments, whose duties have brought them into
contact with him. In a social way he is
remarkably aimable gentleman. and in the
Toxic Club, in which is represented not only
the high culture, learning and wealth ofJapan.
but also the most exclusive foreign element
in Japan, including the diplomatic corps to
the imperial court Of Toxic, he has always
figured as d favorite.

The speech of Representative Linton, of

brought out much animated CORRESPONDENCE
with tho Post-office Department as 10 its cir
culation as a franked document Mr.. Linton
recently received word that the postmaster at
Footville, Wis, declined to receive the speech
on the ground that it was sent in bulk and
could not afterward be separated for mailing
TO individuals. The Congressman protested
to Third Assistant Postmaster General Craig,
who directed the postmaster to handle the
speeches.
Later the same postmaster was notified by
First Assistant Postmaster General Jones not
TO handle the speech on the ground that it
contained printed matter. This matter ap-
peared ON the last page and was the imprint
OF the printer and the label showing that
union printers had done the work. Mr. Lin
ton protested TO the Post-ofilce Department,
citing the fact that the speeches of many
prominent Senators and Members were going
through the mails with the printers imprint
and the union label. He also stated that in
case his speech was denied access to the
mails he would protest against the mailing of
speeches by Speaker Crisp and Chairman
Wilson bearing similar imprints. As a result
of the protest the department ordered the
speech admitted to the mail pending an in
vestigation OF the alleged advertisement.

The verdict in the libel suit of Arthur
Brown VS.. the Tribune Publishing COM
pany was awaited with as much in,
terest by the general public as is usual
~ shown in murder case or other high
crime and there was a large attend
ance in the court room yesterday morn
ing when the jury came in with their
verdict at 10 o'clock. They were out
about twenty-four hours, the case be-
ing given to them at 1920 o'clock on
Friday morning. They wrestled with
lit all day Friday and all night and only
arrived at verdict shortly after 8
O'Clock yesterday morning.
The Jurors filed into court few
minutes before 10 o'clock and. having
answered to the roll call, the foreman,
George Swan, stated to Clerk Dunbar
that they had agreed upon verdict
and handed the written document to the
clerk who read the finding in the usual
form. I'VE the jurors impaneled, find
the issues for the plaintiff and assess
his damages in the sum of $780,"
AT the request of Judge Powers the
jury was polled and it was found that
the verdict was unanimous.
Judge Powers moved that stay of
sixty days be granted in which to pre-
pare motion for a new trial. stating
that the testimony to be transcribed
was quite voluminous and that it
would not be possible for the defend
ants to be ready to carry the case to
the territorial supreme court at the
January term.
Judge Henderson, of counsel for the
plaintiff, made no objection as to the
time, but excepted to a stay of pro-
ceedings.
Judge Powers said it was usual to
grant a stay Of proceedings under the
circumstances.
THIRTY DAYS STAY GRANTED.
Judge Henderson-As to that [ want
to object and also to show reasons why
1t should not be granted There are
special reasons why it should not be
done in this case. The court will re-
member that on the trial of the case
the witness Goodwin testified that the
Tribune property belonged to Mr.. Lam
nan entirely, and such 1 understand
to be the fact; that is, the property be-
longs to the president of the company,
who is not a party in this case. We
have not the slightest objection TO their
having all reasonable time; and SO
far as the stay of proceedings is con-
cerned we have no objection to that if
the president of the company will come
forward and become obligated for the
payment of this judgment, if it is final
ly upheld. But to say that our right
is absolutely determined so far as it
appears here now, and to say it may go
over sixty days without any security,
and under such circumstances. is both
unfair and unusual.
Judge Powers said it appeared here
that Mr.. Lannan was the principal
shareholder The defendant company
was a corporation and stood on the
same basis as any other. Even if the
stock should be transferred, the judg-
ment would still stand.
Judge Merritt remarked that he was
not disposed to make a rule against this
corporation that he had not against
others. If any proof were hereafter
shown that any attempt was being
made on the part of the corporation to
get rid of this property, in order to es-
