Prospect That 1t Will Soon BE Up to Date
in Its Work.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The docke.
for the next term Of United States
supreme court, which will begin on
Oct. II, is being prepared. 1t contains
to date I66 cases, showing an addition
of 63 cases since the adjournment of
tt.s court in May. OF these cases 1873
are from the state courts, 1l9 from the
new federal courts Of appeal, ~ from
the United States circuit courts, 46
from the territorial courts, 32 from the
courts Of the District of Columbia, 90
from the court of claims, 26 from the
private land court and 4. from the
United States district courts. There
were 595 cases on the docket when the
court convened in October, 1896. This
year the number will be 100 less. The
constant falling off indicates that the
court will soon be quite up to date with
its business. The diminution of cases
coming to this tribunal has been caused
principally by the creation of the
United States courts Of appeal, causing
a falling off Of from 1000 to 1900 cases
per year in the cases brought to this
court from the United States circuit
courts.
