ADVERSE TO PARSONS
Important Case Decided by the
Supreme Court.
IT AFFECTS THE OFFICEHOLDERs

Parsons Contended That lie Was Entitled
to Serve Four Full Years, but the SUI
preme Court Decides DifIerently-Presi-
dent Mckinley May Send warship to
Cuba To Protect Our COnsuIs on the ISL
and-Case of Captain Romeyn.
Washington. May 25.-In the United
States supreme court Monday Justice
Peckham handed down the opinion of
the court in the case Of l.. e. Parsons,
late district attorney for the northern
district of Alabama. appealed from the
court of claims. The decision was ad-
verse to Parsons claim that he was en-
titled under section 769 of the revised
statutes to hold his office for four years
Notwithstanding the presidents order Of
removal. Justice Peckham said that
while the appointment was for four
years, it might be terminated earlier at
the discretion of the president The
judgment of the court of claims was
affirmed. The determination of this case
has been looked forward to with interest
because of its possible effect upon the
removal of officeholders incident to the
change of administration.
Removed from Office.
Parsons was removed from the Office
of United States district attorney in AL
ALBANIA in 1S93 having been appointed
in 1890. He wrote letter to the presi-
dent refusing to surrender the place on
the ground that as he had been APP
pointed for term of years the president
had no right to remove him before the
expiration of that time. He has fought
the case through the various federal
courts on this theory, losing in the low
| er courts as he did Monday in the SUI
| preme court. Parsons has however, not
| been in possession of the Office since the
| contest. On the day that he was re-
moved Emmett O'Neil was appointed to
succeed him. and to him Parsons sur
rendered the office after an order was
| issued to him by the circuit court to do
so. He prosecuted the case on another
basis from that time.
Interstate Commerce Cases.
The supreme court also decided two
! other cases, holding that the United
I States interstate commerce commission
| has no power to prescribe rates on rail-
( reads which may control in the future.
| The cases were those of the commission
] versus the Cincinnati and New Orleans
Railroad company and the Florida and
Western company.
The supreme court affirmed the deci-
sion of the court below in the case of G.
( S. Wright of Pittsburg, Pa, charged
| with a violation of the interstate COM
merce law prohibiting discrimination.
| Wright granted rebates on beer to pay
J for drayage. This action was held to
! be in violation of the law.

MAY SEND A wARSHIP.
American Consuls i'm Cuba Must BE
Protected.

Washington, May 25.-President Nc
Kinley now has under consideration
suggestion that a warship be sent to
Havana during the coming week. No
decision has as yet been reached, but
members of the administration would
not be surprised if a naval vessel was
ordered to Havana within few days.
If this step be taken, it will not be for
the purpose of intimidating the Spanish,
nor TO provoke them into hostilities.
The sole purpose will be TO protect the
lives of our consuls and of our citizens.
If a warship be dispatched on this er-
rand, the order for her sailing will be
published so that the Spanish govern
ment and the world may know what her
duties are, and why she was sent. Since
coming to Washington, the president
has had opportunity to examine the re-
ports made by our consuls in Cuba dur
ing the last six months, and in these
reports he finds ample justification for
a carving out of his original intention.
More than one of our consuls has re-
ported that his life has been threatened
by the excitable Spaniards, and when
the president gave the members of the
foreign relations committee of the sem
ate a few days ago certain Information
supplied by our consuls in Cuba, IL was
with the condition that the names or
those officials be not made public FOR
fear of violence to their persons. The
president believes there is ample Justi-
fication for the dispatch OF warship
to Havana. If things have come TO
such a pass that the consular represent
atives of the United States dare not
have their reports to the government
made public, with their names attached,
II to do so incurs the danger of violence
to their persons, It is high time some
means were adopted for the protection,
not only of our consuls. but of all our
citizens in the island.
