WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2.-Tne
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the Stanford case, handed down
by Justice Harlan to-day in favor of Mrs.
Stanford, occasioned no surprise among
Californians in Washington, as it has been
almost foregone conclusion since the
arguments were made that Mrs. Stanford
would win. 1t was conceded by lawyers
who were not in sympathy with the rail-
road. The decision was foreshadowed in

There appears to Be No Limit to the Val~e
of the Ray.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March DIR.
Horace Manchester Brown of this city
made what is believed to be an important
discovery in the use of the x ray, by which
he took two photographs situated practi-
cally al. right angles from the dlrecti on of
the ray. This was accomplished by the
use of magnet with a lifting power of one
and half pounds
With this he developed the ray, making
a photograph of one object with the direct
ray and another at right angle to it.
This method requires twice the length of
time for the exposure, as the strength OF
the ray is weakened in developing it.
Brown yesterday photographed bullet
in the leg of Sewer Klein, which had been
imbedded against the bone since February
90 by an exposure OF one hour. He cut
into the leg and found the bullet at the
point shown in the photograph. His next
experiment will be to try to kllhpus germs
with the x ray, which is believed to be q
germicide

DENOUNCED BY NEGROES,
Washington Pastors Cry Out
Against the Leniency Shown
Miss Flagler.
Had She Been Colored They Declare
She Would Have Been Shown
No Mercy.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March "A Her
aid special from Washington says: In an
ticipat;on that the clergymen would
Flagler for the shooting of the young ne
gro Ernest Green some months ago, the
colored churches here were more largely
attended than usual yesterday, and when
there were harsh criticisms of the Judge
and the District Attorney they were fol-
lowed by applause.
By far the largest attendance was at the
Shiloh Baptist Church, to which Ernest
Green belonged. The Rev. J. A. Taylor,
the pastor, made no reference to the affair,
doing so, he said afterward, out OF defer
ence to the wishes of the Green family.
Rev. George w. Lee, pastor OF the Ver-
mont-avenue Baptist Church, the largest
colored congregation here, said that every
negro in the district ought to repudiate
such failure of justice as occurred in the
Flagler case. He declared that if the pris-
oner had been negress she would now be
in Albany serving time, but because Miss
Flagler was white woman, and the
daughter of wealthy and influential
man, her violation of the law had been
countenanced, and even the Judge had
partaken of the iniquity of her crime.
DR.. j. I. Jenife, pastor of the Metropoli.
tan Church, the leading church of the
African Methodist Episcopal denomina-
ton, said it was gratifying to him that both
white and colored were unanimous in de-
nouncing the outrageous outcome of the
case. He believed it showed to the coun-
try how much justice the negro received
in the National capital, so far as Judges
and courts were concerned. He thought
the entire populace should join in de-
nouncing the conduct of Judge and Dis
trict Attorney, and in praying for the
opening of a new era for the colored people
here.
DR.. Walter H. Brooks of the Nineteenth
street Baptist Church expressed himself
as shocked at the outcome of the case, but
said he was not surprised, as it was almost
impossible for the negro TO secure justice
in any of the courts. He thought such in
justice would be continued until the Ma.
tion awoke to the Iniquity of the discrim-
ination.
1t is not improbable that during the
week the colored residents of Washington
will meet and put themselves on record as
disappearing of the conduct Of Judge Cox
and District Attorney Birney.
The Baltimore aud Ohio Receicership.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March 2.-Judge
Lacombe of the United States Circuit
Court late this afternoon appointed Presi-
dent John X. Cowan and Vice-President
Oscar F. Murray of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway Company auxiliary receiv-
ers of the property of the company in this
State. The application was made at the
instance of the Mercantile Trust Company,
and was not opposed.

MAGUIRE ON TIE DECISION.
1t Is a Precedent That California Courts
Can't FO[tOtC.


Can't FoItOtc.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2-Rep-
resentative Mcguire was asked by THE
CALL correspondent tonight what he
thought of the decision in the Stanford
case and he said:
''The decision is, in effect, that stock
holder in corporation under the laws OF
California is not liable for his proportion
of the debts of the corporation unless at
the time of the contraction of the debts
the creditor had in mind the stockholders
liability and intended to hold them for the
debt.
Il would not advise stockholder of any
ordinary corporation in California to make
such a defense to a creditors suit, because
l feel certain that the doctrine of the
United States versus Stanford will not be
followed out by our courts. | think it will
be overruled in the next case that arises.
But it is conclusive for the purposes OF the
present case.
at is unfortunate that cases have
arisen in judicial procedure to obstruct
the regular current of decisions, because the
failure to apply ordinary rules OF construc-
tion and decision TO them tends to bring
our judicial system into disrepute.
at would be much better if such decls-
ions could be avoided by general law
declaring that any claim in excess OF say
$4,000 600 is beyond the jurisdiction OF
courts of this country"
Mcguire was asked what he thought of
Attorney-General Harmon's letter to the
Pacific Railroad Committee. He said:
II think the eAttorney-General's opinion
on the question of the liability of fraudu-
lent directors of Pacific Railroad COM
panies was unwarranted and inopportuDe.
He is not the adviser Of committees OF
Congress and should have refused to give
an offhand reply to such questions. His
answer, of course, is unofficial and merely
personal.
He NAV be called upon hereafter TO
investigate that very matter officially, and
should have avoided the embarrassment
which too much unofficial talk and writ
ing in advance may occasion him. His
predecessors, so far as | know, have al
ways refused to answer such conundrums
from committees of Congress-"

quarrel in the naval service that has been

PROPOSED VISIT OF ENGLISH
CRICK ETERS.
From tbs Jamaicu Cleaner. J

From a letter which we publish this morn
ing from MIR. F. L.. Pearce it will be seen
that arrangements have practically been made
for the visit OF another team of English
cricketers to the West Indies in the early
part of 1897. The nit atiye comes from
several of the members of the team who vi
sited the islands during the winter Of 1894
50, and Mr.. 4. Priestly. one Of the members,
has written on their behalf. While the minds
Of the English cricketers had been moving in
this direction the cricketers Of Barbados had
alsO been proposing to invite the return of
the same or q similar team in cooperation
with the other colonies. Mr.. Priestly's let
ter anticipated their action and they have sent
him a cordial welcome and invited Jamaica
to Join In the movement. In view Of the
expense attendant on the visit to the colony the
committee of the Kingston c. C.. have dscid-
ed to renew the welcome only If they are in
q position to do 80 financially beforehand,
and they are therefore inviting the co-opsra-
ton of those willing 20 contribute to a fund
to meet the necessary expenses. 1t will be
seen that on this occasion the hotel expenses
and unavoidable expenditure in connection
with the matches only will be defrayed-an
arrangement which will commend itself to
the public and will secure subsci iptiOns from
those who would otherwise not be inclined
to give. In this case the fund will not re-
quire to be a very large one and, with the
gate money, need not be above 9200. The
committee under these circumstances might
without fear, extend the invitation at once,
relying upon the sum mentioned being secur-
ed to defray the expenses. The colony, we feel
confident, will respond to the request of Mr..
Pearce, and We hope therefore to see the Eng
llsh team out early next year. 1t is time that
local erioketers were up and doing. It 10
doubtful whether MIR. Slade Lucas will be able
to accompany the team, but Mr.. PriestIy. says
that the eleven will be very similar to the
last and, of course, composed entirely Of anna
tours.
