TEXAS COURT REPR|MANDED
OPINION BY JUSTICE GRAY OF
THE UNITED STATES SU-
PREME COURT.
FOURTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
OF Texas Offended the Dignity of United

of David Stanley VS.. Mary
A. Schwably.

Washington, March 23.-In rendering
an opinion in the case of General David
Stanley and others VS.. Mary A. SchWal
by and others, Justice Gray in the United
States supreme court today, took occasion
to reprimand the court of appeals for the
Fourth supreme judicial district of Tex
as and to assert in very firm tones the
dignity and jurisdiction of the United
States courts in cases involving the in
terests of the government The case in
yolyed title to a lot in the San Antonio
military reservation. which was claimed
by Mrs. Schwalby on deed made to her
father in 1860, Is years before the land
was included in the reservation, but
which was not recorded until 1889. The
original suit was brought against Stan
ley, who was the custodian of the reser-
vaton, in the district court for Bexar
county. and the United States was
brought into the case contrary to the rule
that the United States can not be sued III

the supreme court, where the decision
was in favor of Mrs. Schwalby. In the

court and this time appealed from that
court to the court of appeals. Here the
United States was continued party to
the suit Notwithstanding the decision of
the United States supreme court. The
decision was for Mrs. Schwalby and the
costs were taxed against the national
government. Furthermore, the court re-
fused an application of the United States
| for rehearing and it was utterly i'm
possible to get the case into the supreme
court by mandatory order from Justice
White, who presides over the circuit in
which Texas is situated.
Justice Gray. represented all these
facts in his opinion and said it was neces-
sary for the supreme court in such cases
to assert and maintain authority. He
intimated that more summary methods
might be pursued, but said the court
would content itself with judgment re-
versing the decision of the Texas court
and again remanding the case, but this
time with orders to dismiss the case tC
the United States and to enter judgment
in favor of the individual defendants.

CATTLE EXCLUSION DEBATE.


London, March 23.-During the discus
troduced by Mr.. Walter Long, the presi-
dent of the board of agriculture, provid-
ing for permanent exclusion of foreign
bred cattle, Mr.. J. Marten White, Liberal
member, and Mr.. j. Price, Liberal for
East Norfolk, and others opposed the
measure, urging that there was no dan
ger in the importation of Canadian cat
tie, and claiming that the passage of the
bill would seriously injure British stock
raisers.
Mr.. Long, in reply, said that the bill
was only intended to give the security
necessary to farmers. Disease, he. ex-
planned, remained latent for long
time. Only recently there was an out
break of pieuro-pneumonia in England,
and whole herd had to be killed.
Continuing, Mr.. Long said that case
in 1892, which was only discovered by
accident, cost the country 5000, and it
occurred in spite of examination made at
the port of entry. The government did
not desire to do anything which could be
regarded as offensive or unfriendly to so
loyal and splendid colony as Canada,
and Mr.. Long denied that the bill was
intended for protection except against
disease.
Following this discussion papers were
issued by tie government tonight relat-
ing to the importation of cattle. The
board of husbandry, writing to Mr.
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, on March 49,, repeat their
opinion that the proposals contained in
Mr.. Longs bill are not more likely tc
prejudice the developments of the Cana
dian cattle trade than they have the
trade in cattle from the United States.

ANENT RECIPROCITY

signed by the president, Theodore G..

taken from purely business standpoint,
without regard to political considera-
tons"
He refers to what he regards as the
benefits derived from the act of 1890 and
says that it requires but glance at the
conditions under which the treaties of
commercial reciprocity were negotiated to
reveal how much was gained by this
country and how little was given in re-
turn. The varying effects of trade with
Brazil under the treaty and after its re-
peal are cited.
1t is in our dealings with Cuba, how
ever, says President Search, that the
benefits of reciprocity have been most
strikingly shown. Sugar, which formed
the largest item in our imports from
Cuba, was placed upon the free list, con.
ditional upon the reasonable treatment of
American products in those countries
from which sugar was imported into the
United States.
Under three years of reciprocity, it is
said, our trade with Cuba reached the
highest point ever touched, showing an
increase of So S,000,000 in exports and $14,
100000 in imports.
The letter concludes:
81 desire to urge with all possible en-
phasis the necessity for such treaty rela-
tions with foreign Nations as shall insure
the utmost possible favor to American
products in the markets of the world.
Other replies favoring reciprocity have
been received from various sections OF
the country, the West being well repre-
sented.
Replies favorable to reciprocity were
also received from persons interested in
manufacturing carpets, flour, drugs
street cars, engines, iron, steam genera
tors, linseed oil, mattresses, silk, har
vesters, tricycles, etc.

silent. The dissenting soldiers and Off
GERS expo :ted to have from the lips of
Eva Booth an explanation of the difficult

pass over the dispute in silence.
Only once was she interrupted. That
was when she spoke of the principles of
the army"
''Tell us what these principles are,
please" cried one in the audience. There
was confusion for an instant, with talk
of putting the disturber out of doors.
Then Eva answered:
"Those principles are too well, too wide
ly known-too numerous to mention. For
the principles of the armly look to its pub
lications, look to it's work in this city: look

THE SEAL, QUESTION.

Washington, March 23.-The senate
committee on foreign relations today had
Secretary Olney before it and asked him
questions concerning the treaty for the
commission to hear and adjust the claims
of the British sealers against the United
States for seizures in Behring sea. The
committee some time ago amended the
treaty in some minor particulars and re-
ported it to the senate. 1t has not been
referred back to the committee, but it is
probable that such Il request will be made
when the senate is next in executive ses-
sion in order that changes suggested by
Secretary Olney and members of the COM
mittee may be made Although there are
not now pending any claims of American
Sealers against Great Britain the amend
ed treaty will provide that if there are
any such they may be considered by the
commission.
Other foreign matters were not dis
cussed with Mr.. Olney, although it was
supposed at first that his visit had some
reference to the Cuban situation.
