In justice to Judge Brewer, whose
merely formal action in the Borrego case
has not been generally understood by the
people of this community, the subjoined
letter is printed in full:
SUPREME Court OF UNITED STATES,
Washington, Oct. 8, 1895.
Hon. John 2. Victory, Solicitor General, San
ia Fe, N. M.
Dear Sir: received from you a few
days since, dated the 26th of September,
letter asking that you have notice in
case an application is made for writ of
mandamus or prohibition in the case of
the Territory vs.. Francisco Gonzales y
Borrego ct al. An application was made
to me for an appeal from the order and
decree of the supreme court of the terri.
ritorY denying writ of habeas corpus.
| at first was inclined to deny the appli
cation, but, after consultation with two of
my brethren, who are here, decided to
allow the writ. The time fixed for the
execution, October Is, was so near that
thought there was no time to give notice
of the application, and in view of the
fact that the final Judgment of the su-
preme court was only on the 25th of
last month could not see that appellants
were guilty of laches.
did this with some hesitation, al
though Clayton vs.. Utah Territory, 1872
tion before me being that the Judge of
the 9th district who tried the case had no
authority under the laws of the United
States to preside at the trial and render
Judgment.
was also in great doubt whether, even
If there were any irregularity in the as
ton of the judge of the 5th district in
presiding at the trial, he must not be con-
sidered as a judge de facto, and his acts be
unchallenged. See Mcdowell vs.. United
States, 159 U. s. 500. At the same time,
as the question involved the lives of four
men, and as our court was to convene in
a few days, my brethren thought the
| prudent course was to allow the writ,
leaving to you, if your judgment APP
proves, to file motion to dismiss or af-
firm, which could be disposed of prompt
ly. If this court has no Jurisdiction the
appeal will be dismissed, and, if the point
raised has no validity, judgment will be
amrmeu. Al any rAue Cne partles Will
have chance to present the question to
the court and have the matter finally de-
termined. Yours truly,
DAVID j. BREWER.
1t will be perceived from the foreg DING
that Judge Brewer took the action he did
with much reluctance, as he entertained
grave doubt whether the alleged irregu
larly urged in favor of an appeal wa
sufficient to justify even a Temporary de
lay, but, as the court was to convene in
few days, concluded to do. He even goe
SO far as to suggest that motion to dis
miss is the proper step.
1t will be remembered that, in com
menting on the order of Judge Brewer
the New MEXICAN said that the action o
the supreme judge had been general!
anticipated by lawyers, and motion tt
dismiss on the ground of lack of jurisdic
ton would undoubtedly be made and sus
tanned. Solicitor-General Victory AM
Judge Warren will prepare and file such
motion without delay.

VALIDITY OF TELEPHONE PATENTS
Solicitor Genera! wants the Case Ad-
yanced III the supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-In the United
States supreme court today the sollcl-
tor general moved to advance the hear
ing Of the telephc42a case, involving the
validity Of the Berliner patent, to an
early day next term. 1t was important,
he said, to secure an early disposition
of the case, the Bell telephone receiver
having become public property. The
Berliner and Edison patents are the op-
stacles in the way in the use of the MI
crophone transmitter in a practical
form, and with these patents out OF It's
way the telephone would become much
cheaper and its use be widely extended.
The chief justice announced the as
signment Of Justice Peckham to the
Second circuit Justice Brown, who re
Gently presided in the Second district,
to the Seventh, and Justice Harlan to
the Sixth.
The court advanced the hearing on

preme court of Illinois, the decision OF

| pointment of receiver does not termi-

Cleveland, O., Feb. 5.-Hon. NJ. A
Hanna was shown the Associated Press
dispatch from indianapolis this eve
ming announcing the withdrawal of
General Harrison from the presidential
race and was asked what effect the
letter would have on the candidacy of
Mckinley.
Il can not but regard the withdrawal
Of General Harrison IL the most faVora-
bic light" said Hanna, because Of the
well-knoWn strength Of Governor Nc
kinlcy in Indiana. He has long been
very popular among the republicans
Of that state and the accessionS he Will
get there will be q strong addition to
his forces in the central west. OF course
the other candidates are likely to be
represented in the Indiana delegation,
but it is my judgment that the senti-
nent among the republicans Of that
state is overwhelmingly for Mckinley.

ENGLAND CLAIMS THE LAND OF ICE
Plan Of "a Norwegian Explorer to 60
Into tie Antarctic Continent.

Into the Antarctic Continent
New York, Feb. Sc. E. Borchgre-
wink, the Norwegian explorer, arrived
here on the Umbria today.
rchgrevink has taught the world
pretty much all it knows about the
great continent which lies in southern
polar seas, and if his plans as now ar
ranged are carried out, he will be able
to tell much more after he gets back
from an expedition which he is to un~
dertake next winter.
The scheme that the explorer has in
hand is to travel over 100 miles inland
on snoWshoes and sledges with three
Norwegian companions.
Speaking of the proposed expedition,
he said:
Eleven scientists are to be with the
expedition. We have chartered the
auxiliary steamer Jason, the Whaler
which took DR.. Nansen into the Arctic
regions.
I'VE will sail right for Cape Adare,
on the new continent. We expect
to get there this spring. We will have
another 74-tOn steamer and naptha
launch with US. The two steamers VIII
leave us and return to Melbourne after
whaling for a time With three Nor
wegian friends, all experts with snow
Shoes I will start inland from Cape
Adare and traverse country that was
never entered by human being as far
as we know. We will so from Cape
Adare to Coulman island, a distance
of GO miles, over the snow, and from
there we contemplate a two and a
half months journey in over the main
land, travelling across the plateau OF
ice and snow on sledges. We want to
locate the south magnetic pole
do you think there is a great con-
tinent there, or merely an island?' Mr..
BOrchgreyink was asked.
II am quite sure it is a continent,
and one probably three times as large
as all Europe" he answered positively,
ITO whom does it belong?"
"Well, England claims it." he replied.
when Captain Sir James Clark Ross
landed on Possession island, which is
off the coast Of New Zealand, more than
a half century ago from her majesty $
ship Erebus and Terror, he took pcs
session Of the mainland, which he never
stepped upon, in the name Of tn
queen.

March, 1895, congress directed that an
examination of the foundation site pur-
chased be made. This was done by
two army officers. who reported the
following July that for $3.50 the foun-
dation could be made stable. Contracts
