JUDGE HAzEN's DECISION.
David Overmyer CritIcisss His COnclu-
siOns In the SnOw-Hudson Case.

David Overmyer CritIcises His Conclu-
siOns In the snow-HudsOn Case.
David Overmyer said this afternoon
relation to the decision of Judge Hazsn
in the Snow Hudson state printer case:
THE court admits the correctness of
our contention as to the jurisdiction md
power of the court, but bases its denial
of an Injunction upon the maxim of
equity, tnat he who asks equity must
come into court with clean hands. The
court overlooked the only maxim of
equity having any application to this
case. which is, that equity follows the
law
"One of the chief Offices of equity is the
conservation of law, l. 9. the protection
and preservation of strictly legal rights
for the protection of which there is no
adequate remedy At law. That was pre-
cisely our case. The appointment of
Snow by the governor, to I'LL the unex-
pired term, gave Snow every right that
any person could have had in that un-
expired term. One such right was and
is to hold till his successor is under the
constitution elected and qualified and
if that fact is seriously questioned to
hold till such successor shall establish
his claim in court of law. That was
all we asked.
III any one In possession cousO Do en-
titled to that right, then Snow was and
is so entitled. If equity could in any
case protect that right land the court
seems to concede that it could) then it is
difficult to see why it could not protect it
in the hands of Mr.. Snow as we'll as in
the hands of any one else. Shows claim
rests upon his appointment by the gov
ernor. If that gives him right to make
such claim, then the fact that previous
to said appointment he may have made
an untenabIe claim, or that now he qnes-
tions Hudson for making the same un-
tenable claim cuts no figure. The court
seems to have been struggling as a for
mer Kansan was wont to say, ''in a mist
of falses''

STOOD BY BRYAN.

the Nebraska Man.
His Democracy Was Impugned
by Congressman Clarke.
CLARKE WAS KISSED
Told to Shut Up or Leave the
Stage.
Clarke Got Mad and Called Them
Republicans.
WAS KISSED.

MOBILE, Ala, July 2.-ExCongress-
man Bryan of Nebraska and Representa-
tive Clarke of Alabama had joint de-
bate here on the silver question last
night, in the course of which Bryan took
umbrage at Clarke's denunciation of his
Democracy.
II was invited here to night" said Mr.,
Bryan, with the understanding that /
was to receive fair play" Bryan had the
crowd with him and they ap-
plauded vigorously as he pro-
ceeded to score the Alabama
congressman. He said he would rather
die in his tracks than support the Demo
cratic party if it adopted a gold stand
ard. He also denounced Cleveland and
Carlisle.
Clarke, in reply. referred to Bryan's
criticism of Carlisle as pitiful attempt
to throw mud upon a man who
lowered head and shoulders
above him, and said the
mud would not land but would fall back
into the face of the man who threw it.
The audience hissed and yelled for
Clarke to shut up or leave the stage. He
continued in a more moderate strain.
His reference to Grover Cleveland was
applauded. Clark was frequently in
terrupted during his last remarks and he
responded by calling the audience Re-
publicans and Populists.

THE COMING CONVENTION.

The Attendance VIII Be Very Large
Leagues to Be Formed.
The railroads have granted an open
rate of one fare for the round trip from
all points in Kansas to Topeka for the
Fourth of July.
The usual arrangements for the Fourth
is one fare for the round trip between
points not over 200 miles distant but
as soon as that announcement was
made this year, Mr. w. ]. Black at the
request of President J. B. McAfee of the
State Temperance union, asked the rail-
roads to make an exception this time in
favor of Topeka on account of the tenn
perance convention and make the one
fare rate apply from all Kansas points to
Topeka.
The railroads have all agreed to this
and people from any place in the state
may come to Topeka and return home
again for one fare.
President McAfee says every mail
brings letters with credentials of dele
gates elected and there can no longer be
any doubt about the success of the com
ing convention, as delegates are being
elected in every part of the state.

PACIFIC CABLE ASSURED.
It VIII. BE 6,4SO Miles Long and Cost
$685. 900.


1885, 900.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Hugh Craig,
vice president of the chamber of COM
merce, says that from a thorough inves--
tigation of the subject, he is convinced
that the Pacific cable which has been
talked about for years in the United
States and discussed ad interim in con-
gress, is to be built by British capitalists.
To avoid international complications,
station has been decided upon in latitude
8 north on Tanning island. The cable
is to be laid from Auckland, New Zeal
and to Norfolk island in the South Pa
cific, distance of AS miles.
The second section of the cable will
be from Norfolk island to Fiji, a
distance of 1902 miles; the third to Fan
ming Island 1915 miles; and the fourth
and largest section, from Tanning Is
land to Vancouver, distance of 3.242
miles. The total length of this cable
will thus be $3.50 miles, or almost three
times as long as the shortest Trans-At-
lantic cable
The estimated cost of this cable from
Auckland to Vancouver is 1915
pounds, or in round figures 1855, ,000

FITZSIMMONs' DEFENSE.
VIII Try to Prove RfOrdan Suffered .
Stroke of ApOplexy.

SYRACUSE, n. z, July 2.-In the trial
of Fitzsimmons today counsel for the
defense asked Judge Ross to dismiss the
case upon the ground that the people
have not proved a case Justice Ross
denied the motion, but said he
may charge the jury as to
whether the contest was legal, and if SO
what constitutes assault in the third de-
gree.
The defense stated that it could prove
there was no infraction of the law. It
would also prove by an eminent physi-
clan that Riordan had suffered stroke
of spoplexy, and was told that if he
would not quit the ring and violent ex-
ercise, he would soon die.
