SUPREME COURT CASES.
Several Important Decisions at
Observation-Disclosures Com
merce Cases.

Washington, d. c., March lin the
Supreme court of the United States to-
day two decisions were rendered in cases
involving the question of the collection
of duties. In the first of these, that of
Beautell VS.. MagOne, the collector of the
port of New York, the question involved
was that of the classification of certain
rugs woven on looms not fit for weaving
carpets, but which had been assessed as
Wilton carpet because the surface was
cut so as to give it the appearance of
plush. The case was appealed from the
circuit court for the southern district of
New York which had sustained the class
ihcation of the collector, but the SUI
preme court reversed this decision, saying
the rugs were rugs and not carpets.
The other tariff case was that of
Cooper, collector, VS.. John and James
Dobson involving the classification Of
certain goat hair, which the circuit court
for the Eastern district of Pennsylvania
had held to be free of duty, contrary to
the decision of the collector. The deci>
sion in this case was set aside and new
trial ordered.
Justice Gray delivered the opinion Of
the court in the case of Catherine Goldey,
appealed from the decision in the circuit
court for the Eastern district of New
York. This was a case in which Mrs.
Goldey asked damages in the sum Of
P1OO,OOO 4OI dlleS6u 1DSl 3" t'S
affirmed.
The case of James Henderson ct al,
owners of the steamship Caledonia, VS..
Mayer Goldsmith, involved the question
of the liability of a carrier for loss by
delay in the shipment of merchandise.
The case was appealed by the owners
of the vessel from the decision of the
circuit court of Massachusetts district,
which had held them responsible for loss
caused by delay in the shipment of cattle.
The defense in the original case was that
the delay was occasioned by the break
ing of the vessels shaft The court
held, however, that the exception was
not sufficiently spcifc and sustained the
Judgment of the court below. A vessel,
said Chief Justice Fuller, in delivering
the opinion, must be really seaworthy;
it was not sufficient that its owners
should think it was seaworthy. Justices
Brown, Harlan and Brewer dissented.
The court announced that the inter-
state commerce cases, one Of which in
wolves the long and short haul and an
other of which is known as the social
circle case, had been restored to the
docket for reargument at the next term.
The court also announced a recess I'M

of the south side, and years ago young
Aubrey was quite prominent in social
circles. He met Miss Fuller and became
a frequent visitor to the home of At
tOrney Melville W. Fuller. This shrewd
man readily saw that young Aubrey was
not the kind of a man he wanted for
son-in-law, and efforts were made to
break up the friendship. Mr.. Fullers
the removal of his family TO Washington
was very oppOrtune in this regard, and
Mr.. Fuller thought that he had heard the
last OF Aubrey.
In March, 1889, Miss Fuller went to
Chicago to visit friends, and she and
Aubrey resumed their friendship One
afternoon Miss Fuller left the home Of
her friend OstenSibly to do some shopping.
Instead she met Aubrey and they took the
train for Milwaukee, where they were
married by Justice Gregory. The next
morning word was sent to Justice Fuller,
and after young Aubrey had anXiously
paced up and down the corridors Of tho
Kirby house for several hours, the reply
came that the couple were forgiven.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aubrey came to live
with the parents of the former on Vim
cennes street in this city. Aubrey soon
broke loose and all efforts to turn him
from his course were futile. He began to
drink heavily, and in order to keep in
funds he took to forging checks. The
father settled Il number of these, but
finally permitted the law to take its
course. Since then Aubrey had put in
good share of his time drifting from one
jail to another in Iowa.

THE P0PE'S VIEWS.
Pleased to Have Father Malone
Elected Regent General-The
Abligate.

Albany \. Y. March 11-An echo of
of the exciting election of a regent of the
university year ago, when Archbishop
Corrigan and Bishop McQuaid endeavored
to defeat the Rev. Father Sylvester Ma
lone of Brooklyn, has just reached here
from Rome. 1t come in a letter written
to state official by Gen. George S.
Bachelor of Saratoga, formerly minister
to Portugal, in which Gen. Bachelor de-
tails most noteworthy interview with
the Pope. In this interview Pope Leo
spoke in the most grateful way OF the
election of Father Malone as regent-gen-
eral.
Batchelor saw the Pope the last week
in February when his holiness was rep
resented as being in feeble health, but
says that the head of the church seemed
not to be enfeebled at all. Gen. Batche-
lor writes that his holiness led the con-
versation to America and said that his
encyclical was in the United States and
would on that same day be given to the
public He said he himself had carefully
revised the English translation. The
Pope expressed regret that certain news
papers and public men in America had
objected to his sending a delegate to
Washington or sending out an encyclical
as tending to NEEDLE with the affairs of
Il foreign government or with institutions
with which he had no sympathy. This
is an error" said the Pope. L do not
seek to NEEDLE with governments except
to admonish my people to obey the civil
law and to conform to the authority of
the land in which they dwell. l sent
delegate to America in order that l might
be better informed as to the character of
American institutions and the peculiari-
ties of the national and state govern
ments and above all, to reconcile any
conflict if there should be any between
the government of my church and the
government of the land.
Il consider America essentially a
Christian country. Religion is free. The
government does not aid nor does it op-
pose the labors of the church. l am
free to say that the further [ study the
conditions of this the more it commends
itself to my judgment. If a religion can
not thrive on its own merits then it must
stagnate or fall. [ tell my people to
convert Americans to the faith by prov
ing to them by pious and orderly living
and by precept and example that it is the
true religion; not to seek converts except
through means recognized by the laws Of
the country and the principles of humane
and divine economy !"

sian war. The other distinguished
parsonage is John Philip Souza, the
American baton wielder and march
maker, with whom Prof Berger has
been exchanging compositions for
half a dozen years
When the roll call of the Second
Life Guard was had at the re-
union, Musician Herr Berger, still
vigorous and alert, but with a beard,
and sparse hair over head, sharply
answered. The Count General
called the veteran fr m the pleas
ant Isles Of the Pacific to the center
Of the parade ground and embraced
and kissed him and wept over him
before the Second Life and the
scores Of other regiments on the
field.
AT one of the battles between
the dashing Frenchmen and the
steady Germans--the one in which
the shooting of young Berger
cornet from his lips was a trifling
nothing - the major sustained
wounds from which he limps and
coughs to this day. 1t was in hot
action. The ping and spit OF bull
lets was incessant, the boom OF
artillery constant, the plunging OF
horses and the rush of men a
spectacle grand and terrible.
At the peril Of his own
life young Berger led a
rescue of the major. With bullets
dropping and striking all about and
shells landing aud exploding, the
unconscious aud helpless officer
was carried to an ambulance and
sent to the rear. The major and
the young cornetist saw very little

Prof Berger was handsomely
