MAY BE WIPED OUT.
Estate of the Late Cyrus W. Field is in
 Danger.

Estate of the Late Cyrus W. Field is in
 Danger.
 New York, Jan. 1.-The fact came out in the supreme court this af 'ernoon that the estate of the late Cyrus w. Field is in danger of being completely wiped out. This arises out of the failure of Field, Lindley, Weichers and Co. for nearly $2,OOO,OOO two years ago. For some time creditors of the defunct firm have been filing claims against the es- tate, alleging that Cyrus w. Field was a general partner in the firm, whose head was his son, Edward M. Field This contention Is strenuously disputed and it declares that MT. Field was only a special partner in the firm, having in- vested in it $5O0,OOO.
 The claims against the estate of Mir Field are so numerous and of such complicated nature that an action has been brought by George Washington, as trustee of the trust created for Cyrus William Field and his children under the will of his father, with a view to having the court assume the adminis- tration of the estate to have all the claims arising against it passed upon in this one litigation, instead of in number of complicated actions, and to have all persons having claims against the estate to file them and to require all creditors to make proof of their claims in this action.
 Justice Barrett to-day granted an or der for the service of the summons in the action upon Carl Wiechers and s. I. Kirstein, who live in Germany by publication. The action is brought against Daniel Lord and the other ex- ecutors of MT. Fields will and all oth- CTS who are in any way interested in the estate

JUDGE TAINTOR PLACED HIM
 UNDER THREE HUNDRED BONDS.

 The Colonel Took the stand in His Own
 Behalf and Said That He Did Not Wish to
 See Child Abused-He Did Not Think
 He Abused the Officer
 New York Jan. 1.-The examination in the case of Colonel William H. Stew enson of Bridgeport, Conn, arrested on Friday night, charged with interfering with Agent Barkeley of the Gerry society, who had arrested a boy, took place this evening. Commodore Gerry, president of the society, sat on the bench with Justice Tatntor. Three or four times he made suggestions to the justice, which angered Lawyer Me Clelland, who appeared for Colonel Stevenson. Agent Barkeley testified that he had taken the boy in his arms,
 that he was treating him with great gentleness and that he was assaulted by Colonel Stevenson, who took the lad away from him. He added that the colonel had been very abusive and had called him all sorts of vile names.
 Policeman Mccormick substantiated every statement made by Barkeley.
 Colonel Stevenson then took the stand
 in his own behalf. T was walking across Thirty-fourth street." he said, when I heard child cry for help. I ran up and saw this little fellow in Barkeleys arms. He was crying bit fof NHyac nat ally incensed at the manner of treating the boy. I asked him what he was doing and what authority he had to act. He told me to go away and let him alone. told him he must show
 me his authority. He refused and then had me arrested. l did not call him vile names and I was not abusive. If he had shown me his authority would not have interfered. I know the law and no one more respects 1t than do
 ''At the station house Barkeley stood beside the policeman and told him what to say. I ordered him to stop 1t and I may have called him liar. 1 think it very probable l did"
 Marshall J. McInerny, member o1 the New York Stock Exchange, testt-
 fled that he had been with Colonel Stew
 enson on the evening in question and that his attention had first been attract
 ed by the crying of the child. He had
 run toward the little one, but Colonel
 Stevenson was there first. He heard
 the Gerry agent tell Stevenson to minc his own business and to go to hell. A crowd gathered and pushed witness aside and that was all he knew of the
 matter. Frank w. Rennell who was witt Colonel Stevenson when he was ar rested. corroborated everything that the colonel had said.
 An attempt was made to get Lewis List. the eight-year-old lad who Was the cause of all the trouble, to tel what he knew of the matter, but h1
 did not know the nature of an oath and
 was not competent witness.

UPHELD THE L1W.
Supreme Court Decides an Important In-
 surance Case.

surance Case.
 Washington, Jan, 7.-The supreme court of the United States to-day in an opinion read by Justice White affirmed the constitutionality of the law of the state of California which forbids any person to procure policy of insurance for a resident of that state in any com pany not expressly authorized by law to do business within its limits under the law of that state on that subject,
 Two points were raised in behalf of the appellant. Q) That policy of ma rine insurance was a matter of inter- state commerce and beyond the power of the state to regulate. Justice White stated that the court held that marine insurance was not interstate commerce and the power of a state to regulate insurance within it's territory was de- clared to be absolute and plenary. CD That the law was an attempt to eXer- else the authority of the state beyond it's territory This was also overruled,
 The judgment of the supreme court of the state was therefore affirmed. Justices Harlan, Brewer and Jackson dissented in an opinion read by Justice Harlan.

 Debs.
 Chicago, Jan. 7.-Judge Grosscup an nounced to-day that he would render his decision in the proceedings to quash the indictments for conspiracy against Eugene V. Debs and others tomorrow afternoon. He indicated by his words that he would deny the motion to quash and told counsel to be ready to go on trial. Several motions for separate tri- als were made and all denied.
 Tomorrow morning Debs and the other officers and directors of the Amer ican Railway union, with the exception of McVean, will go to Jail and writ of habeas corpus will be applied for be- fore Judge Woods. If he denies the writ the case will be at once taken to the supreme court
 In the latter case the conspiracy trial is certain to be postponed.
 After the adjournment of the court of appeals Judge Woods, sitting as a circuit judge, informed the attorneys for the defendants and the government that he would overrule the application for a writ of habeas corpus, as he could not review his own decision and would send all the appeals direct to the SUI preme bench Judge Woods added that he was not disnosed to enforce the im- rrlsonmtnt q the de endants, but would remand them to the custody of the mar shaI when the stay of execution expired tomorrow, and that the officer would undoubtedly use his own discretion.

Failing in this they stopped with the Ayers family

Medical Grievance.

We used to hear the indignant moan wealth disguise themselves to obtain treatment at the hospitals for nothing. Not in England only, but in France and elsewhere, bitterly amusing tales are current on this theme. If a practical remedy could be found, it would have been adopted long since at any cost; but in London or Paris hospital doctors can only keep a sharp lookout for signs of affluence among the pauper patients. Circumstances are more favorable in Cork and very pretty quarrel Is rag ing there. The medical men attached to the various benefit clubs assert that many of the members are well able to consult them privately. There are cases, so it is alleged, of men worth fl,000 year who take advantage of the club to obtain medical attendance for SIX shillings annually. They demand that the members shall be classed; those with an income under f100 to pay IS. 3d.; under f2OO, 15s.; and above that apparently, to lose their privilege alto gether. The whole profession at Cork upholds these very reasonable terms The clubs resist, and all the medical men have given notice to terminate their engagement on December 31. But the supporters of the present system are not daunted. They propose to in- vite doctors from outside to fill vacant posts-in fact, "black-legs." They are not likely to find any in the medical profession under such untempting cir- cumstances.-London Standard

Democrats Cannot Make Changes in the

Washington, Jan, 7-The senate re- nubIican steering committee met this morning, all the members being present but Senators Washburne, Cullom and Dolph. A full discussion was not had owing to the absence of the senators named. There was sufficient evolved from the informal talk, however, to show that the republicans were unable to agree upon any plan that would ena- ble the democrats to make any changes in the existing tariff laws.
 No further attempt will be made to get the steering committee together. The failure of the committee to agree is equivalent one of it's members said, to a notification to the democrats that they might as well abandon all hope,
