not any question but that Frederick Doug
lass was one Of the greatest men that our
&C untry CT the continent has ever produced.
Whatever may have been his personal
peculiarities, his habits of thought or tenn
per, his likes or dislikes, personal or other
wise, no sane person can ever DOUBT or
even discuss the question of his genuine
permanent greatness. OF course in his
death there is created a great void in his
race, and among the colored people OF the
continent. And his memory will be cherish
ed by such people with sentiments of pro-
found admiration and gratitude for from
the very beginning of his public life he has
shown himself the faithful servant of his
country and the vigorous, earnest servant
of his people.
He was not a scholar. He was not
learned in the high, broad and comprehen-
sive sense. He was man of excellent ab1l-
ity, often, such men are cratic In judg-
ment and not well balanced in his opinions
and convictions; and hence changeable In
respect to those great national and local
questions which concern the welfare of the
country and his race. But on the whole he
vas patriotic and devoted, and the chief
aim of his life was exalted and manly.
AS an orator, whether using the tongue
simply in eXtraneouS address, or employing
his manuscript, he was able, commanding

His character upon the whole was
unique. 1t would be hard to produce an
other like him, and he shall rest in his

SUSTAIN C0URTS-MARTIAL
Civil Process Cannot Intervene in
the Case of Members Of the
Army or Navy.

Washington. II. c., May G.-AIost in
teresting of the several eases decided by
the Supreme court today was that of
David 3. Sayre. formerly clerk TO the
paymaster at the Norfolk navy yard
against Capt NJ L. Johnson of the navy.
In November. 1894, Sayre was sentenced
by court-martiai to two years impriscn-
ment in q naval prison for misappropriat
ing about $1,000 Of government money.
Sayre appealed to the United States cir
cult court of the Eastern district OF
Virginia on the ground that his sentence
was contrary to the constitutional provi-
sion that citizens shall not be deprived
of liberty except by due process OF law
and upon preSentment Or Indictment by
a grand jury.
Judge Hughes of the circuit court
granted the writ of habeas corpus on the
ground mentioned. but the Supreme court
today reversed his ruling. Judge Hughes
has held that Sayre's conviction could
not be sustained by that clause of the
constitution excepting leases arising in
the land or naval forces. or IL the militia
when in actual service in time of war or
public danger" because the country was
not then in war or danger. Justice Gray,
who delivered the opinion of the Supreme
court. said that the opposite construction
had always been presumed. Those citi-
zens in the army and navy We're III the
actual service Of the United States at ali
times. whether in war or in peace. and
the military and naval authorities had
jurisdiction and custody of their persons.
The principle involved in the case is
considered of vital interest to officers of
the army and navy. Before Judge
Hughes rendered his opinion, the power
of courts martial to imprison had been
seldom questioned and had the Supreme

been overturned.

short time before the railroad strikes
in Chicago last summer there was Il row
down in the Indian territory between

sued for troops to be sent to the scene Of
the disturbance. Instead of doing rs he
was directed Gen. Miles sent staff Off
Ger to investigate, and not until that off-
Ger urged sending troops was the neces-
sary order given. Furthermore, the gov
ernor of the Indian territory took a hand
in the matter by asking why the instruc-
tons of the war department had not been
carried out
OF course there will be pressure brought
to bear to induce the President to as
sign Gen. Miles to Washington. but in
the light OF past history it is claimed here
that his chances for such Il detail cannot
be regarded as promising, TO say the
least of It.

Extraordinary Precautions to Pro-

London, May 6-Extraordina1y scenes
We're witnessed, and precautions of an
extraordinary nature were taken, upon
the arrival at Southampton last night
on board the steamer Tartar Prince
from Buenos Ayres, of Jabez Spencer
Balfour, the eX-member of Parliament
whose eXtradition from the Argentine
Republic was obtained after great delay
on the charge Of fraud in connection
with the collapse Of the Liberator Build
ing society and other concerns.
The steamer was met off Calshot cas-
tie by police tug, upon which Balfour
was taken ashore, surrounded by q
crowd of detectives and policemen in
uniform. The police and Balfour finally
reached the railroad station at South
ampton, where the latter was struggled
into a frst-clasS railroad carriage. the
shades of which were drawn. At Water

was in waiting, attracted by the news

Harry HAYWARD s Accomplish Pleads
Guilty to Killing Miss

minneapolis, Mimi. May 4.-Although
the trial Of Claus A. Blixt was not ex-
pected to occur until May IA, the self
confessed murderer decided yesterday to
plead guilty at once and bear his atone
ment for the heartless killing of Catha-
rine Cling. His attorney pointed out to
him that if he stood trial the jury would
not convict him of murder in the first de-
gree and that he would thus escape hang
ing, but Blxt preferred to confess his
guilt and throw himself on the mercy of
Judge Pond
Accordingly this morning Blixt was
brought into court and changed his plea
to guilty. County Attorney Nye said
that While the crime was one of the most
cruel and revolving on record, yet it was
evident that he was not SO deeply guilty
as Harry Hayward nor so worthy of
hanging. He was a man of a low order
of intelligence and of weak will power.
He had been influenced by the superior
mentality of Hs-'vard to commit the hor-
rible crime. @le county attorney be-

THE NEWS CONFIRMED,
Many Cablegrams Received by the State
Department..


Washington, d c., May 6.-Important
official cablegrams concerning the Japan
China situation have reached Washing
ton in the last twenty-four hours The
Chinese foreign Office cables that John
w. Foster has left Pekin for home by
way of Shanghai. This would take him
to Che Foo, where on Wednesday the
negotiations will eliminate. Ii Hung
Chang remains at Pekin, so that MI Eos
ter, who has been IN conference with the
Emperor and the Chinese foreign Office
will act with Viceroy Lis son in repre-
senting China.
An official cable to a different quarter
gives decisive information that the En-.
peror of China has ratified the treaty.
The information is beyond question. 1t
clears up many contradictory statements
from unofficial sources as to whether the
Emperor had or had not ratified. The
ratification by the Chinese Emperor
brings China and Japan to d final ac-
cord. SO that it remains only for Japan
to settle with Russia and other protesting
powers. 1t also makes certain that the
armistice which runs until Wednesday,
the same day as the ratifica tion-will not
be followed by a Japanese advance on
Pekin
1t is said by officials that the exchange
of notifications at Che Foo on Wednesday,
will be largely a formality. now that the
Chinese have ratified The japanese
ratification was given some time ago
The manner in which the two powers are
treating it as a formality is indicated by
the fact that Count Ito, Japanese chief
envoy is not going to Che Foo and Ii
Hung Chang. China's chief envoy, also
sends representative. Officials say
also that the gathering of foreign war
ships at Che Foo is less belligerent than
would appear on the surface 1t had
been arranged that the diplomats of Eu,
r 2ean countries should hold a conference
at Che Foo. and the vessels are said to be
part of this gathering, although the
strength of the Russian fleet shows that
she means TO be prepared for emergencies.
