Writ of Error.

Counsellor Charles j. Peshall, who has
been retained by number of friends of
Clifford, the condemned murderer, includ-
ing the all powerful Mr.. Simon Kelly OF
Weehawken, to make a last effort to save
Clifford from Hangman Van Hises atten-

to apply for writ of error. Mr.. Peshah
is confident that the court will grant the
writ and adds that he has point to
present which he is sure the court cannot
overlook because it is in line with a Su-
preme Court decision already entered.
The Clifford case, Mr.. Peshall says, is
remarkable in the history of jurispru--
dence, from the fact that it is the first
instance where jury finds a verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree with
a recommendation to mercy.
All the legal tactics for which Mr..
Peshall is famous will be employed to
save Clifford's neck.

icy Gable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 22 1S9S.-Major Williams,
a special agent of the United States
Treasury Department, has been in Lon
don for a week, looking for information
to assist the Department in the enforce
ment of the sealskin exclusion. He said
to a representative of The. Associated
Press:-
II have come to the conclusion that it
is impossible to enforce the&law in its
present form and that it is necessary to
amend it. 1t is impossible to identify
many of the skins after they have pass
ed through the hands Of the wholesale
dealers. as most of the retailers for the
sake of selling. would guarantee that the
skins were not caught in prohibited
waters.
...The important exporters with whom l
have conferred are disposed TO cooperate
with the Government in carrying. out the
law; but the small dealers are likely to
evade it. :"

BUILDING AND LOAN BILL.
Liquidation to BE Sought Changing
the Mode of Paving Interest.

1t is probable that a bill will be intro
duced in the Assembly next week which
will make changes in the system of loan
ing money by Building and Loan Asso-
Citations It appears that persons bor-
rowing money from associations for the
purpose of building pay interest on the
whole amount borrowed from the day
the loan is made.
The association, however, pays the
money out in installments, as for instance
81 900 when the first story of a house is
erected, another when the second story is
finished and so on until the whole loan
is exhausted.
Borrowers insist that they should not
be compelled to pay interest on the
whole loan from the start but upon only
the sums as they are advanced and from
the date of their delivery. A bill to en-
force this method has already been
drafted.
