THAT TIE POST HAS BEEN OF

The articles in The Tribune urging the appoint
ment OF a New-York lawyer TO the vacancy on 'he
Supreme Court bench caused by the death OF JUS
t,ce Jackson have met hearty approval among
lawyers and other citizens The members OF the
bar have been especially anxious that Newly orK
State should not be unrepresented In the supreme
Court They call attention to the fact that the
printed reports show that far larger NUMBER OF
cases originate in New-York than in any other
State. Almost all the most important cases are
first begun in the Second Circuit The members OF
the New-York bar are also. more frequently than
lawyers from other States. called 10 practse AT
the bar OF the Supreme Court In the income tax
cases New-York lawyers d:d most OF the WORK OF
preparation and had a large share in the oratorca
effort
The importance OF the commercial questions
which arise in New-York leads TO a special tram
ing among New-YOrk lawyers. They become IA
miar with certain classes OF cases, and expert IN
dealing with them. Many OF these commercial
cases have in the past been before the supreme
Court. and the opinions OF NewYork justices have
had special weight in their consideration
In addition the names already suggested. SCI

fitted for the important judicial office There Will
be difficulty in finding suitable candidate II
the President decides to give recognition 10 the
State which has honored him.
Among the many names that have been suggested
the probable successor of Justice Jackson. that

Reports have gone far to state that
the place has actually been offered TO Mr.. Coudert,
who is in Paris; but inquiries made yesterday
tend show that there is more assumption than
actual foundation for so decisive statement. II is
generally believed in this city. however. that the
President will tender the appointment TO MI
Coudert. But there is some uncertainty as TO
whether he would accept the office. 1t may he
added that there is authority for the statement
that he could have gone on the bench when JUS

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
A CRUSH OF FEMALE LONELINESS IN
THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER.

Yesterday was day devoted to the
woman suffrage resolution in the As.
sembly chamber.
Long before two O'clock the ladies
OF Carson were in the Assembly
chamber looking for seats. There were
also representative women from Vir-
ginia City and Reno. The ladies were
dressed in their best suits of clothes,
and after they packed the chamber,
shot the most killing glances at the
members who fell one by one like
Spring wheat before the mower.
George Nixon OF the Silver State who
was lukewarm in the suffrage ques-
ton, was red hot advocate Of the
ballot for women after bevy Of Car
son beauties had put in fifteen minutes
| arguing the case, and at two o'clock
his bald dome glistened like the cupola
OF the Capitol building in the midst
OF bevy of Capitol beauties like a
glaring diamond set in sapphires.

sex. closed his we'll for the rest Of the
afternoon, and it was only open to ALI.
Doten the Carson newspaper men and
the committee on public morals, the
rest Of the day.
The crush Of female lockers on at
the door made an impenetratable wall
after 2. Assemblyman Briggs of
Ormsby tried to get in, but couldn't
make any Roadway until he told the
girls at the door that he was for the
resolution and his vote might carry it.
They squeezed themselves together
like sardines in box, and opened a
way for Briggs on short notice. Mr..
Beck spoke in favor Of the resolution
and did not do his best A hundred
feminine eyes was fastened upon him
md it seemed to embarass him.
He finally said that Mrs. Maynard
II Reno would speak for him and the
Eloquent lad took place behind the
peakers desk, and at length on the
ubject, making a very telling argu-
nent whom was listened to by a
rowded house and loudly applauded

The Latest Advices From Japan--.NOt Much
Expected From First Peace Negotiations.
What Japan Has Captured From China

TOXIC, January s, PER STEAMER
Perry, VIA SAN FRANCISCO, January %.
the only change in the diplomatic
situation since last advices is the an
uouncement that Chan Yang hwan,
China's accredited general, is actually
on his way TO Japan, accom-
panied by subordinate representa-
tive named Shao Yoi Len. If it Is
found that these elvoys are authorized
to negotiate seriously, some progress
NAV be made toward defining the terms
OF peace, but no amount OF
official reserve on the part
of the japanese authorities
can conceal that they expect very
little from the first meeting. The cap
ture OF Wei Hal Wei is now regarded as
a foregone conclusion, but 1t may. how
ever, again alter the aspect OF affairs.
The resent intention is that the con
fersnces shall be held at Hiroshima
The fact that Mr.. Foster Will accom-
pany the Chinese ENJOYS in the
capacity of legal adviser does not
change the opinion Of the japanese
with respect to the sincerity OF ChlnaS
intention. An official statement OF the
yaluables thus far taken from the chi
nese has been published by the Japa-
pese government. From this it appears
that six hundred aud seven large guns
have changed ownership. The esti-
mated value of these is two million
ven. The number OF small arms Is
seven thousand and four hundred
worth 80, 900 ven; ammunition for large
guns, two million six hundred thousand
rounds. worth 3,O00,O 200 yen; ammuni-
tion for small arms, seventy-seVen
million rounds. Three ships OF war,
one medium and two small are
worth 1000, 600 yen. Most important
OF all are the srsenals. foundries and
machinery OF every description secured
ut Port Arthur and Talen. What the
value of these will be to their new pos
SCISSORS cannot be calculated.
