WHY CHAPMAN WAS WRONG.
And Why He Has to Go to Jail for Not An
swering Questions.

sWertng QUESTION:.
Washington, April 20.-In deciding
that Elverton r. Chapman, a New York
broker, must go to Jail for not answer
ing questions put to him by the senate
committee investigating alleged inter-
ests Of senators in the sugar schedule in
the Wilson tariff bill the supreme court
yesterday said the case was entirely
differenot from the Kilbourn case THE
subject matter as affecting the senate"
the chief Justice said, was within the
jurisdiction of the senate. The questions
were not intrusions into the affairs of
the citizens: they do not seek to ascer-
tain any facts as to conduct, methods,
extent or details Of the firm in ques-
ticn, but only whether that firm, con-
fessedly engaged in buying and selling
stocks, and as to the particular stock
named. as 1t was employed by any SEN
ator to buy and sell for him any Of that
stock whose market price might be af-
fected by the senate's action.
I'VE cannot regard these questions as
amounting to an unreasonable search
into the private affairs Of the witness
simply because he may have been in
some degree connected with the alleged
transactions. and as investigations Of
this sort are within the power Of the
two houses they cannot be defeated on
purely sentimental grounds

Washington, April 20.-The supreme
court yesterday announced a decision
that will be read with interest by both
sides-unions and companies-in railway
labor disputes. The opinion was de-
livered by Justice Brown and affirmed
the decision Of the circuit court of ap-
peals for the Sixth circuit in the case
OF the petition Of James Lennon for
q writ of habeas corpus. Lennon was a

locomotive engineer on the Lake Shore
ard Michigan Southern railroad, and as
such refused to haul the cars of the
Toledo. Ann Arbor and Lake Michigan
Railroad company. in disobedience of an
order of the circuit court for the north
ern district Of Ohio, because the en-
gineers Ct the Ann Arbor road were on
a strike and those of the other line were
in sympathy with them. Lennon was
arrested and fine of $50 imposed. This
occurred in the circuit court for the
northern district Of Ohio. He immediate
ly filed a petition for writ of habeas
corpus. which was sucessively denied
by the courts below and their action has
been sustained by the supreme court.
The case originated in 1893 and attracted
wide attention.
DisObeyed the Injunction knowingly.
Justice Brown. in rendering the opin-
Jon. said that the only question raised
in the case is whether the circuit court
exceeded its jurisdiction in holding
Lennon for contempt. thesupreme court
not being a: liberty to consider the tes-
timony or to inquire whether the facts
justified the action. He said that the
fact that Lennon was not a party to
the original suit for an injunction was
immaterial, so long as it was made to
appear that he had notice of the issuing
CT an injunction by the court, which it
appeared from the testimony he had.
No attempt, says the opinion, was made
to interfere with Lemons contract with
his own company, or to compel q con-
tinuance of his services.
Case That Might BE Imagined.
1t was not necessary, the court said,
to decide whether an engineer may sud-
denly, without notice. quit the service
Of railroad company between stations,
though cases might be imagined where
sudden abandonment of a train load
of passengers in an unfrequented spot
might imperil their safety and even
their lives. On the question of the in
junction the court says it was proper, as
1t bore solely upon the relations of the
railway companies to each other.
Question for the Court Below.
1t was a question for the court below
to determine whether Lemons action
In delaying the train five hours at way
station was taken in pursuance of a
determination to abandon the service of
the company or for the purpose of dis
obeying the courts injunction. The
finding Of the trial court was against
him on that point. and the supreme
court held that there was no error in
this judgment.

not single transaction to their credit.
Sugar also continued to be neglected, the
dealings in the stock being quite OSten-
tatiOusly curtailed. The traders seem to
have made up their minds not to see any
cause for alarm in the Cuban question
and regard the news on the subject IN a
manner that offers a strong contrast to
their views on former occasions. Ihey
also attach a large degree of Importance
to a rumor circulated in very explicit
form that the Supreme court will hand
down a decision on Monday next in the
sO-called Nebraska maximum freight
rate and interstate commerce cases and
that the decision in the former case would
be in favor of the railroads. This case
is of Importance to the Changers and
the belief that the decision will be in
their favor materially strengthened the
group and made it the leader of the ad-
vance. The buoyancy of the general
speculation on the London stock ex-
change also impaired confidence to the
local market. The announcement of an
additional shipment of gold for next
Tuesday Of 100000 was without marked
effect on the market, and the statement
of a decrease of $232,075 in the gross
earnings Of Northwest for April did not
affect the strength in the Granger group.
Chicago Gas continues to receive in
side support and tended upward. The
Gould shares reacted somewhat from
the strength of yesterday, Manhattan
and Western Union selling off a sharp
fraction in the reaction, and failing of
subsequent recovery. Many stocks
failed Of complete recovery to the high
point and last prices were generally

The characteristics Of the market for
the week has been it's underlying strength
in the face of unmitigated dullness and
almost of apathy, the outside interest
being nil, and with some very serious
drags upon it. The developments in the
Cuban question were apparently not as
fearful as traders had supposed last
week and when President McKinley's
message was presented to Congress on
Monday it had the effect rather Of
the market.
