NINE JURORS NOT ENOUGH.
Supreme Court Decision in a Case
Appealed From Utah.

WASHINGTON, April 12-In the
case of the American Publishing Com
pany VS.. Fisher Brewing Company, ap-
pealed from the Supreme Court of the
Territory of Utah, the Supreme Court,
through Justice Brewer, rendered an
opinion holding as invalid the Terri
torial statute validating verdicts in civil
cases in which only nine jurors concur.
The ground on which the law was pro-
nounced Objectionable is found in the
seventh amendment to the Constitution
and in the general law confirming the
statutes of the various Territories, so
far as they authorize uniform course
of proceeding in all cases whether legal
or equitable
The court expressed the opinion that
uniformity was prerequisite in all Ter
itorial cases. No opinion was expressed
as to the validity Of such law under a
State form of government The case it,
self involved a claim of $4,000.
The court affirmed the decision of the
Supreme Court of Washington in
the cases from that State brought to
enjoin the State and county authori-
ing tax upon the capital stock of the
ties from levying upon the safe and
time locks and other personal property
of the banks, for the purpose of collect
banks under the State law of 1891. 1t
was contended that the law was in
conflict with Section 5219 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States, but
the court held that such was not the
case.
Justice Gray rendered the opinion of
no rf in ba e T
son VS.. the State of Minnesota, affirm
ing the decision of the State Supreme
Court The case involved the validity of
the Minnesota State law requiring all
passenger trains on State railroads to
stop at County Seats which are railroad

tributed by a Chef.

Cream of chicken a la Refine (for
twelve people)-Put two large chickens

leeks, a stalk of celery, two onions, one
stuck with fine cloves, a bunch of pars-
ley and eight quarts of water. Set

done take the meat from the bones, put
the bones and skin back into the sauce
pan and boil longer. Have in another
saucepan two pints of we'll washed
rice and three quarts of broth: season

ADJUSTMENTS.

One of the severest tests of versatile
capacity in a stock company of which
we have had knowledge was that at
the Clunie Opera-house last night, as
exemplified by the presentation of "a
Midnight Alarm by the Pearson Stock
Company. The round of characters was
wholly different from anything in
which the troupe has been seen here,
with a single exception, one character
being a copy of a PRESERVATION in the
first week of the engagement The
whole tone of the play, and the entire
demand upon the abilities of the COM
pany were for versatile capacity, adap-
liability and the taking of characters
in many cases directly opposed to what
one would suppose to be the taste or
ability of the actor. But there was no
faltering and no failure. The sensa-
tional melodrama with it's lurid scenes
and ultra romanticism was given as
easily and smoothly as if the troupe
played that alone. The parts apparent
ly fitted the people as if born to them.
The story is that of an effort to de-
prive a child of it's rights to it's estate
and name, the sacrifice of young mar
to save the honor of a dead brother;
the heroism of New York
fireman; the true love of two devoted
women despite obstacles and ell man
ner of discouragements; the triumph
of the right and the punishment of vii
lainy. The scenery is very handsome,
two scenes especially so; that of Brook
lyn bridge and of a drawbridge with
a passing train saved from wreck by
the courage of two girls who closed the
draw in the nick of time. In the fourth
act the scene is in a house of the New
York Fire Department; an alarm
sounds and the fire apparatus is dash
ed across the stage by two spirited
horses. In a literary sense the play is
weak. But it's sentiment is clean,
sound and strong. If the language is
commonplace the action is spirited,
and the thought is wholesome. W. ].
Jossy as the hero makes a manly one,
he is a clear and carely reader-just a
bit too rapid at times-and invests his
acting with the spirit and feeling of a
trained, we'll balanced intelligence He
is an especially clever leading man.
Mr. Morris, who, the first week of the
engagement was young hero of grace
and comeliness. last night was a jib-
the play, and he acted it faultlessly.
Mr.. Brummel as the prosecuted youth
of the melodrama was manly, intelli-
gent and painstaking. Three better
men in the lead scarcely any company
need wish for. Miss Foster, the SOU
brette, was at her best last night. She
is a charming little person, and sings
and dances no better than she acts, and
the latter she does with the skill and
ease of an accomplished artist in her
line. Mr.. McAlpine, the low comedian,
had a congenial part, and with Miss
Foster furnished the merriment and
music of the evening, to which Mr..
Adams in negro dialect character
contributed skillfully. Miss Bronson,
as the heroine had not much call up
on her ability, but made a good deal
out of rather inconseCuential role.
The piece was a success and will run
the week through.

EX-QUEBN LILIUOKALANL.
OBJECT OF HER VISIT TO THIS
COUNTRY.
Does Not Expect to be Restored to the
Throne, But Wants Some One Else
Than Dole as President.

WASHINGTON, April Pit is an
nounced this morning that ex-Queen
Liliuokalani of Hawaii, who has been
visiting this country for several
months, has no desire for the restoIa-
ton of the monarchy in the islands.
She realizes that such a thing at this
late date is impossible. Could she
have persuaded this Government to
have personally take up her fight there
might have been a chance for the re-
storation Of the old order of things. But
after the lapse of several years the
overthrow of the Republic is hopeless.
1t is now asserted that the mission of
the ex-Queen is simply to secure the
interference of our Government in the
matter of present administration in
Hawaii. The ex-Queen pronounces the
Dole Government an Illegal one and
she wishes President Mckinley to so
pronounce it. She says that the cleo
ton in which the present officials were
chosen was an Illegal one, in that it did
not give every citizen of the islands
the right TO vote.
Liliuokalani'S plan is to have the
American Government espouse her
cause in so far as to order the holding
of new election in the islands. She
believes that such an election would
overthrow the Dole Government, and
she claims that she would then be
elected President in his place. She says
that she does not desire to be Queen
again.
Those close to the Mckinney admin
istration assert that the ex-Queens
mission is hopeless. They say that
there is no probability that the Ameri
can Government would take such a
step with reference to the Hawaiian
Government. Mckinley is believed to
be friendly to some form of annexation
or to the establishment of some kind of
American protectorate, but he will not
attempt to interfere with the present
Hawaiian administration unless such
interference would result in closer rela-
tionShip of some kind.
The evident intention of Japan to
take possession of the islands has
caused some uneasiness in Washing
ton among those who favor annexation,
and it is said that prompt action should
be taken by this Government to pre-
vent such a calamity. 1t is now known
here that, Notwithstanding the de-
mands at the time concerning the rea-
son of the Philadelphia's hurried trip
to Honolulu, that ship was really or
dered there on account of news re-
ceived from the American representa-
tive there calling attention to the floods
of Japanese pouring into the country
and the evident intention Of the Japan
csc to overwhelm the other people
there, both native and foreign.

Belief That the American Ship
Samaria, Coal Laden From Seattle
to San Francisco, Now Many Days
Overdue, Has Gone to the Bottom.

HUENEME, April 12.-All opinions
agree that the steamer Yaquina ashore
here will, so far as her hull is concerned,
be total loss. 1t is believed the vessel
has a big hole stove near her propeller.
The weather continues fine, but the YES
sci lies in dangerous proximity to the
wharf and with a sea or a west wind,
threatens to go through that structure.
The fear regarding possible explo-
sion of dynamite on board has sub
sided The steamer Coos Bay arrived
during the night and Captain Hall, with
Agent Greenwall have, with boats and
engine and derrick on the wharf, re-
moved all the freight between decks,
much of which is valuable.
The tug Reliance, with Captain Minor
Goodall on board, is due from San Fran
cisco tomorrow evening. She is fitted
with powerful pumps, and will pump the
water from the lower hold to permit
the removal of the balance of the
freight, but nothing can save the hull.

THE SHIP SAMARIA.
Belief That the Overdue Vessel Has
Gone to the Baton.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-The
general opinion in shipping circles is
that some dire calamity has befallen the
American ship Samaria, twentythree
days out from Seattle for San Francisco
coal laden. Several Captains who
started from Seattle at the same time
time are firmly convinced that the Sa-
maria is at the bottom of the sea. The
master, Captain McRae, had on board
his wife and two children. The other
vessels that started in company with
the Samaria made the trip in eleven
or twelve days.
1t is known that several days after
the Samaria sailed she was caught in a
severe gale, which Captain Ryder of the
Elwell declares was the worst he ever
encountered. The Samaria was an old
vessel built in 1876, and it is said she
was under the disadvantage of having
poor shifting boards.

PLAYED ANTICS ON THE ROPE
Blondin's Terrifying Performances i'm
Midair.

PUBIC interest was aroused to q ire
mendous degree when Blondin, the
rope walker, made his famous trip
over the Niagara Falls, but Blondin
did not content himself by taking the
world by storm.
AS soon as the world was fairly his
own he proceeded to knock it speech

a, man should walk airiIy over the
gaping chasm, with it's dizzy swirl of
green water sweeping under his feet

next dressed himself up in a fantastic

play capers, all in the midstream
After that he trotted gaily over his
rope, wheeling a wheelbarrow before
him as he went. Even when an old
man, Blondin retained all the skill and
nerve which enabled him to cross the
Niagara several times. He retained.
too, the old terrifying habit of pretend
ing to lose his footing. Some of us re-
member this as one of the most awful
impressions of our childhood. The
writer of these lines has never forgot
a windy day at Liverpool when Blon-
din ran along a rope at a great height
the rope swaying with every gust. and
suddenly slipped, to the breathless hor-
ror of the spectators. 1t is remark
able fact that, although this marvellous
man had performed feats of courape
and dexterity never equalled or ever
approached, he never had an. accident
of any kind. 1t is understood that IN
his earlier days Blondin made a con-
siderable fortune, but lost it in some
business in which he was less skillfuI
than on the tight rope.-New York
