LEGION OF noNon IN COURT.
a Member seeks to Upset the Recent Change
In classification.


The validity OF tho action recently taken by
the Supreme Council OF the American Legion OF
Honor In dividing the order into two classes. A
and b. is to DO tested In the United States courts.
Lawyer Alexander Simpson OF IL Broadway.
acting for James Mcnamara. n member OF Ever
Faithful Council of Jersey City, has filed
a bill in the United States Circuit Court
for the district OF Massachusetts,. asking
that the Supreme Council In Boston be
declared a trustee for the benefit Of all persons
insured by said Supreme Council, and that q
receiver he appointed for all moneys held by the
Supreme Council and collected through assess.
ments levied on the members of the order. The
bill also asks that the Supreme Council be en-.
Joined from separating the moneys received
from assessments into two parts as Is now done.
The bill sets forth that when Mcnamara
Joined the Legion OF Honor each life insurance
certificate issued was "a charge upon all moneys
received from assessments and the number OF
called. On Dec. l, 1896, the supreme Council
divided the persons holding insurance contracts
into two classes and held the assessments from
each class separate. Each class Is now only
charged with the payment OF contracts
of members OF that class and thus the
spirit OF the original contract has been changed
without the consent OF the members and the
number OF assessments Is Increased. A sub
pnna has been served on tho officers OF the
Supreme Council and argument will be heard at
the September term OF court.

DISARMiNG CRITICISM.


bome Points OF the General Treaty of Ar
bitration Explained.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Controvert-
ing the criticism of the new general
arbitration treaty made in some quar-
ters that an European ruler, under the
terms, might be called upon to settle
questions involving the Monroe doc
trine, it is pointed out at the state de-
partment that territorial matters are
to be governed wholly by article
vi. of the treaty, which stipulates a
fual award by a majority of not less
than five to one" of the six arbitrators
appointed by the supreme courts of
the two countries.
Article X, which names the king of
Sweden to appoint an umpire III ease
the arbitrators fail to select one speci-
fcally by its own terms, relates wholly
to arbitrat ton under articles Ill.
and V.
Article Ill is restricted to claims of
$500, 900 or less, each country having
one jurlst as arbitrator.
Article V. is restricted to matters ex-
ceeding $500, ,0Ot, provided such mat
ters in difference do not involve the
determination of territorial claims"
1t will be seen that matters involv-
ing the Monroe doctrine of any terri
torial dispute can only be determined
by a vote of FIVE to one of the arbi-
traitors originally selected by the two
and that no reference to
aliens of both countries has been con-

REFORMS IN TURKEY.
A Blue Book Issued by the British
Government.
RUSSIA PROVES THE STUMBLING BLOCK.
The Gear was Not Willing to Resort to
Coercive Measures When They
Would Have Been Effective
The Other Powers Consented.

LONDON, Jan. 2l-The government
has issued blue book containing the
official correspondence in regard to
the projected reforms in Turkey The
correspondence shows that on Septem-
Der 70 last Lord Salisbury proposed
that the powers take measures to en-.
force their proposals, and that in the
event of unwillingness on the part of
any power to assume its share
in the coercive measure applied
that power should not op-
pose the action of any other.
Austria gave her assent to this propo-
sition without qualification and later
Germany assented with the proviso
that any coercive action taken by the
powers against Turkey must be unani-
nous and, further, that the integrity of
the Ottoman empire must be main
tanned. Italy gave her absolute as
sent to the proposal, but Russia
objected to any scheme which
involved the application of coer-
cion to make it operative. In in
terposing this objection NJ. Shishkin,
then at the head of the Russian for
eign office, stated that coercive action
was repugnant to the czar. 1t reply
to this Lord Salisbury expostulated
with the Russian minister, saying that
it would be useless for the powers to
make further concerted representa-
tions to the porte in regard to reforms
unless they were prepared to enforce
their proposals.
On November "a NJ. Shiskin wrote to
Lord Salisbury saying that the czar
had agreed to consider the question of
coercion if the sultan should prove re-
calcitrant, and the other powers were
in favor of resorting to
coercion. About the end of December
France gave similar assent to meas
ures of coercion, and the governments
Of Russia, Austria and Italy reafiirmed
their adhesion to that plan of action.
Lord Salisbury's correspondence on
the subject closes with a letter dated
January g

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 21.-Six
years ago this month the Arkansas
legislature passed bill appropriating
1859 for painting of Jefferson Davis,
and instructed the sergeant-at-arms to
hang it over the speakers chair, a

of George Washington. Wednesday
Jacob King, of Stone county, intro
duced the following resolution rela-
tive to the picture.
Be IL resotped, BY the house OF represen ntatiyes
OF the state OF Arkansas, that Jefferson Davis
picture be removed from where it now hangs
and placed to the left OF the speakers stand,
where Gen, George Washingten's picture now
hangs, and that Gen. WashingtOn's picture be
placed over the speakers stand, where Jefer-
son Davis picture now hangs,

HON. JOSEPH. M KENNA.
The California Judge Has Been
Visiting at Canton.
HE MAY HAVE AGALL TO THE CABINET.
Like Wise Jurist He is Careful not
to Crafty the Interviewer's Curiosity
Too Far-There Are Impsdi-
msnts, He Says.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2l - Hon
Joseph McKenna, judge Of the United
States circuit court, arrived in this
city Wednesday evening direct from
Canton, o., where he has been in con
ference with President-elect McKin
ley.
Il have been to Canton, said Judge
McKenna, to representative of the
United Associated Presses, that is
well known. l have talked with the
| president-elect concerning the ca binet
and concerning my taking a position
therein. But ! wish to say that some
statements have been made in the
newspapers concerning me that are
not just So
rs it true that you have been in
yited to accept a position in the cabi-
net of President Mckinley, and that
you have decided to do SOP
Nothing has been decided" 4" was the
response.
But were you not invited to visit
Canton in reference to your acceptance
of the position alluded to?"
That is putting the matter too
broadly"
But what is there to the report
about the cabinet in connection with
yourself?'
Il am afraid the newspa pers have
stated it too strongly My visit to Can.
ton has been given too much
significance. l do not deny that
l may enter President McKin-
leys cabinet, but from that to
the fact of entering it there are
some obstacles. 1t is difficult to eX-
press and be correctly understood the
freedom which has been left Maj.
Mckinley and myself
Concerning the obstacles, judge, it
has been more than limited that one
obstacle to your accepting a cabinet
position might be the possibility of
your appointment to a seat on the
bench of the supreme court of the
United States to succeed Justice
Stephen J. Field upon his retirement,
Now, said Judge MeKenua, there
is nothing at all to that story, When
| mention impediments it is not to be
understood that my going into the SUI
preme court is a condition. The i'm
pediments are entirely personal which.
may prevent my going into the cabi-
net, if the position should be finally
rendered to me-
Further than this, Judge McKenna
did not care to talk about any connec-
tiou between himself and the cabinet
of the president-elect.
II was not candidate for a cabinet
position when ! went to Canton" he
said, NOR am candidate for such a
position now"
