a.siraccnise voter, and thereby i'm
peril the federal elections, he contend
ed that a federal court in question had
Jurisdiction. The law, he said, was in
violation Of section l, article Il, of the
constitution of the United States. Mr..
Douglas, continuing, directly attacked
the law aud argued that it was enacted
simply for the purpose OF disfran:his-
ing the negro vote.
Mr.. Douglas was followed by Mr..
OBear, his associate, whose argument
was largely of legal nature. He held
that the court had jurisdiction to hear
and act in the case. and then occupied
some time in the citation of various
authorities and cases bearing upon the
matter at issue.
Gen. Edward McCreary made the
closing speech for the state. He began
his argument by making careful eX-
planation of the registration laws, and
showing that the circumstances which
existed when they were enacted lustl-
fed their passage. He compared them
to various other registration laws and
argued that they were not more un-
Just or disseminating than the laws OF
other states, which at various times had
been declared institutional, and thus,
though the laws had been in existence
since 1876, their constitutior.ality
had never been questioned till 1895.
He said if they had been as unjust as
they are charged to be, they would not
have been allowed to have remained so
long unquestioned. He claimed that
the whole case was political one. and
that Mills was only figure head. and
the speaker did not know SO far rs the
record went, whether Mills was white
or colored. General McCreary closed
his very brief argument by saying he
thought the court was in full posses
sion of all the facts and that it would
be unnecessary for him to ask tie at
tention OF the court further.
The chief justice was asked if it were
allowable to submit briefs but none
were forthcoming. Three days were
given each side in which to hand the
cases to substantiete their petitions.
They court adjourned till Monday at 10
o'clock

Arguments Heard In the Soush
Carolina Registration Case.
ATTORNEY BARBER OPENS FOR STATE
The Trend of His Remarks Was That the
Federal Court Had no Jurisdiction
In the Premises-Mr. Douglass
Appears for Petitioners.

RICHMOND. Va, June s.-Argument
in the South Carolina registration case
was begun in the United States circuit
court of appeals yesterday before Chief
Justice Fuller, Judges Hughes and
Seymour.
Attorney General Barber opened Sor
the state of South Carolina The trend
of his opening remarks was that the
federal courts had no jurisdiction in The
premises. He said it was set forth by
Judge Golf that the petitioner was
colored man, and therefore the refusal
Of the laws of South Carolina to permit
him to vote was in violation Of the If
teenth amendment of the constitution.
Mr.. Barber called the attention OF
the court to the fact that nowhere In
the record did this fact-that the petit
toner was cclored-appear, though it
was commented upon by attorneys in
the lower court, and very prominently
brought to the attention Of Judge Goff
when he granted the injunction.
The attorney general stated that In
stead Of providing for discrimination
against any voter, the law set forth
that any male citizen, regardless OF
race, color or condition, who had resid-
ed in the state for one year, was enti-
tied to vote. 1t was not the law, he
said, that caused Judge Golf to tolo
that voters were being denied their
privileges, but it was the abuse OF the
law by people ostensibly working un-
der it. He contended that the law
should not be held responsible for dare
lictions Of election officers.
MIR. Douglas made the opening speech
for the petitioner. He prefaced his ar
gument with the statement that though
he and his associate, Mr.. O'Bear, ap-
peared in opposition to the cause OF the
states, they were in no sense against
the state Except that they were en-

Wheat opened wild and excited, caused
by the very bullish government report,
showing only seventy five million bushels
of wheat in the farmers hands on March
1st. Cables were stronger and closed
higher all around, causing an improved
cash demand.
Shorts fell all over themselves this
morning in their wild scramble to cover
and the widest excitement prevailed
that has been seen on the Chicago ex-
change for years. and reminded the old
time members eff those good old days of
yore.
On the opening there was an
immense line dumped on the market
which was quickly absorbed by fright
ened shorts and others who figured it a
good safe investment. The market de-
clined to 56Lc on heavy realizing by
parties who bought around 53c, and as
soon as this was over, the market quick
ly advanced to 571kc and remained be-

cline is met with a food of buying or

Personally Attacks an Editor in

SAYS HE Is NO SHEEP.
He Loved to DenOunce the Soul

Now He Has a SANDER Suit on
His Hands.
SAYS HE Is NO SHEEP

VICTORIA, B. c., March 12-Nanimo
has for the past month been the scene of
a pitched battle between Rev. Mr..
McRae, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and L. Dean, city editor of the
Nanimo Free Press. The minister posed
as local Parkhurst al 4 announced SEN
satiOnal themes, d awning crowded
houses In the put pit, however, he
fought shy of his object, his courage
failing him.
The Free Press a. Used him 'sto dis
continue his fake ads<nce notices, or de-
liver the goods he contracted to supply.
Then came declaration of war by the
preacher upon the unrighteous Press.
He defed the right of any paper to
criticise minister of the gospel, who
was "a servant of Cod and spying city
editor Dean in the congregation, pointed
the finger of scorn at him and proceeded
to arraign him for almost all the crimes
in the calendar.
For full hour and forty minutes he
poured out a torrent of invectives against
Dean, whom he mentioned by name re-
peatedly and the paper with which he is
connected.
His text that evening happened to be
a verse from ST. PauPs Epistle to the
Romans, "If it be possible, as much as
you can, live peaceably with all men"
Such teaching was all very well in a
general way, the pastor informed his
congregation. There were times, how
ever, when one had to demonstrate that
he was not sheep, and this was one of
them.
He wished every one present to under
stand that he had no hesitaucy in taking
up the gauntlet as the champion of the
church against the licentious, sensa-
tionaI soul-slaying press-in facf, such a
contest found him in his element He
held that as a general rule not paper
on the Pacific coast was fit for a decent
man to read, much less a womanly
woman, and so thoroughly rotten was the
press that one might as we'll talk of re-
forming the devil as purifying it. What
was wanted was to kill the present news
papers and build up better ones upon a
standard of religious and scientific edu-
cation.
Such rabid, immoderate and i'll tenn
pered address was probably never before
listened to in an American church, and
the congregation by turns laughed and
Kissed at him.
The editor preferred charges against
McRae to the presbytery, where the com
plant was dismissed, and Dean appealed
to the church synod, and has commenced
a civil suit for SANDER against the min
lister, summoning practically the entire
congregation to the witness box.
