tives Of the Hawaiian royalists arrived In

archy, Samuel Parker. ex- Prime MINIS
ter; j. A. COmmins, and Major Seward
the latter actirg as an aide to the com
n,issioners They arrived too late 10

will remain in Chicago until tomorrow
afternoon.
Mr.. Widcmann, acting as spokesman Tor
his colleagues, said to a reporter ior ue
United Press that they were going 10 the
National Capital in the interests or JUS
tice They could not say they would be
ceived as a delegation by the President,
yet they hoped to gain hearing from
Mr. Cleveland or the Secretary OF state.
They had no Idea. however, as 10 the
measure Of success which would ac-
company their mission, the primary OBJ

MGR. SATOLLI SUSTAINED
ARCHBIsHOP CORRIGAN WILL EN-
FORCE HIS LIQUOR DsCIsIOS.
He Says He Loyalty Accepts the Principles
Laid Down by His Chief, and that No
Catholic can Refuse TO Accept,

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The World to-
morrow will say:
Archbishop Corrigan has written a very
important letter TO the ed tor Of the
Wine and Spirit Gazette, in which he
makes an authoritative statement with
regard to the decision OF Mgr. Satollt
affecting Roman Catholic liquor dealers.
The Archbishop's letter was called forth
by an editorial recently published In the
Gazette. which says of Mgr. Satollfs
decision:
"Will IL be enforced I'm the cities OF
the country? Fully two-thlrds OF the re-
tail liquor dealers OF the country are
Homan Catholics. Some Of these are lib
eral contributors TO church funds We
appreciate fully the delicate position In
which Archbishop Corrigan and the other
Bishops OF the Catholic Curch I'm this
country are placed by the decree Of the
Papal delegate. We voice the sentiment
of large majority Of the liquor dealers
OF this city and Brooklyn in saying. We
dare Archbishop COrrigan TO enforce In
letter and spirit the decree against the
liquor traffic just issued by Mgr. Sat0ln.
the Papal delegate Let the Archbishop
do II, and watch the consequences"
The Archblshop's letter Is in his own
handwriting. In 1t he says
nave the honor to say that | Loyalty ac-
cept the principles laid down by Mgr
Satollt, both I'm their spirit and 10 the
letter. More than this, no Catholic can
refuse 10 accept them.
AS 70 fear Of consequence. | have yet.
thank God. 10 learn what fear is In the
discharge Of my duty.
Please remember. however that ac-
ceptance of principles Is not TO bee con-
founded with the blind application Of the
same on all occasions and under all cir
cumstances.
(Signed M A. CORRIGAN."
The editor OF the Gazette i. ]. smith,
mas this to say about the Archbishop's
letter.
THE answer does not entirely and
squarely meet the issue. 1t IS not a
question of accepting "A principle laid
down by the head OF the Church. but OF
the courage TO carry out I'm letter and In
spirit the principles just proclaimed by
the Papal delegate In the face of seem
ingly adverse public sentiment The
issue Is. VIII the Archbishop give orders
10 refuse admission To Roman Catholic
societies 70 any one engaged either as
principal or agent I'm the manufacture or
sale Of intoxicating liquors. and Will
ne instruct the clergy 10 deny the rights
and privileges of the Church 70 liquor
dealers who sell on Sunday?
The declaration of the Archbishop
seems 10 Justify the conclusion that In
the discharge of his duty he WIN enforce
the principles, although he does not say
so in his letter In distinct terms. Fu-
ture developments will show how far
this conclusion Is justified"

the ground that the city and county In

railroads. are directly responsible for all
damages 10 the freight. The damages
claimed by the railroads in the above list
are mostly for cars burned after July lst.
II Is believed many more suits viii be

ishable freight during the strike.

JUDICIAL IAkGLE IN TEXAS.
The Sheriff looking for Authority TO Hang
n Murderer.

DALLAS, TEX, July 3O.-Judge Gray
has granted a writ of habeas corpus re-
straining the sheriff from hanging on
Friday next Franklin n. Miller, who
killed Policeman RIDDLE about three
wears ago. The case is the most re-
m1rkabje example of judicial tangie ever
known i'm Texas. While Millers case
was going through appeals before the
higher courts of Texas and the Supreme
Court OF the United States, the state
Legislature Temodeled the judiciary of
Dallas county, establishing three courts
where one had existed when Miller was
tried. All kinds of complications have
grown out of this, and now no one
knows which court has jurisdiction 70
sentence Miller. Judge Clint finally
passed sentence, and the defence con-
tested his jurisdiction and secured the
restraining Of the sheriff under habeas
cOrpCs.
The case may have TO be fought
through all the courts again, and the
LEGISLATURE next winter may have TO
pass a special act comforting Jurisdic-
tion on some court to pass sentence on
Miller In the meantime the States
attorney will try to find a way TO have
Miller hanged next Friday, or as early
thereafter as possible. Governor Hogg
has refused executive clemency.
