JUSTICE HARLAN'S VIEW
Wants an International Tribunal to
Settle Difficulties.

London, Dec. 27.-The Rev. Hugh Price
Hughes has written a letter, which the
Times will publish tomorrow morning. re.
lating to the substance of a private con-
versation he had in London with Justice
Harlan of the United States Supreme Court,
when the latter was on his return to America
from Paris, after the conclusion of the
work of the Bering Sea Tribunal of arbi-
tration.
In this conversation Justice Harlan eX-
pressed a strong personal conviction that
in the event of future differences between
Great Britain and the United States they
ought not to invoke the assistance of out
siders, but should appoint an equal number
of judges of her majesty's high court of
justice and the United States supreme court
to settIe them.
He strongly insisted that it was quite
needless to ask Frenchmen and Germans
to settle differences between the English
speaking nations.
Mr.. Hughes is of the opinion that the diff
ficulties created by President Cleveland's
unhappy action render this plan inap-
plicSible to Venezuela, but he argues the
constitution of sach- permanent court
forthwith to deal with questions that may
arise in the future.

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-United States
District Judge Morrow today rendered an
important decision in the case Of Gee Hop.
a Chinaman, who arrived in San Francisco
from China on September 1S, 1895. He
had papers which showed that he
had once been naturalized by the courts
Of New Jersey, but was denied admission
on the grounds that the courts had no
right to make q Mongolian a citizen.
Hops attorney asked for writ of ha beas
corpus and Commissioner Heacock took
evidence in the case. After carefully re-
viewiDgthe case Hea acock recommended that
Hop be remaDded, for the reason that
there was no law comforting the right of
naturalization upon Mongolians or natives
OF China"
In this connection, Judge Morrow said:
81 heartily agree, the matter of naturaliza-
ton is exclusively within the control of
the government of the United States and
not Of the States.''

THAT FREE COINAGE BILL.

Much is being said about the free
coinage silver bill of the senate, which
was introduced by Senator Jones of
Arkansas, and adopted by the senate
finance committee. In truth the bill is
not a free silver coinage bill in the
sense that gold is coined free. The
owner of gold bullion can take it to the
mint and get it made into coin for just
the cost of the manufacturing. 1t is
just the principle precisely of the
country mill with the grist of wheat,
the seniorage being so much toll for
minting. The senate bill about which
so much doubt has been expressed as
to what the president might do, or the
Democratic house say, provides and
directs any or all Of the United States
minis to receive from any citizen of the
United States silver bullion Of stand
ard fineness and to coin the same into
silver dollars, but, mark the difference,
the seniorage for such work shall be
the entire difference between the gold
value of such silver in New York on the
day it is offered. In other words, the
government would put 4121a grains of
the citizens silver into the dollar then
take enough silver beside for its own
or for toll or seniorage, as would equal
the value of bullion in a gold dollar,
the market price of each to fix the
quantity. In other words at the pres
ent market price Of the two billions
the owner of silver bullion would be
compelled to deposit enough silver to
make two silver dollars.
This is not the what the silver men
of the country are demanding, and out
side of the money mongcrs. that is the
bankers and the creditor class and the
politicians whom they control, the
whole country seems to be demanding
silver, but they want the parity to be
something near what it was when it
was demenetized in 1878. Under the
terms of this so-called free coinage
silver bill it is not certain that any
silver would be offered for COMA ge
Probably not. This enormous toll or
proposed free coinage after all involves
the single gold standard principal. 1t
is a scheme that would tend not only
to keep the value of silver down but to
farther depreciate it. IN attempting
to bridge the chasm brought about be-
tween the gold and silver dollar by
Wall street, through congress and
through the present administration,
the chasm would be widened and

HE OUGHT TO BE PUNISHED.

Following the announcement of the
appointment of Ex-Governor Anthony
as state superintendent of insurance,
the charge was made that he had ac-
copied a bride while state railway
commissioner. The charge grew out
Of an affidavit made by one West and
which was very pointed one. In
the meantime the senate hung up An
thongs confirmation and ordered an
investigation when a second affidavit
from the same man West was discover
ed. In the second affidavit be swears
it is said, that the first one was a lie.
for which he was paid by the late re-
form calamity administration, or
words to that effect; that the said adj
ministration through the its agents had
promised him 81, 200 for the falsehoOd
but had. in fact paid him but 800 or
such Il matter. OF course Vests sec
ond affidavit is no more reliable than
the first, and of course Anthony was
promptly confirmed, but the astonish-
ing thing is that such mendarity is per-
mitted to go unrebuked.
