The Chinese Gases.

The Supreme Court is listening
to-day to another writ of habeas
corpus, in re Chinese immigrants
The time Of the honorable Court
will probably be occupied in that
business until the Court ceases to

O'Clock this morning and was still
speaking this afternoon, He will
possibly be followed by Mr.. Robert
son, who was an attorney in the first
case and has been invited to address
the Court in the present case. Then
comes the Attorney General assisted
by Mr.. Thurston, and the outlook
is that the argument will not be
closed to-day.
Twenty Chinese on board the
China we're refused permission to
land yesterday and the probability
is that they would have been obliged
to continue their voyage. 1t was too

the men from the hand of the Chief
Justice. The men after considera-

SHOCKING NEWS.

The Australia brought news to.
day which made the missionary oil
garchs look very blue indeed. The
Congressional Commission to Ha-
waii, which was feted and treated to
the highest kind OF links" while
here, have "thrown" the sacred cir
Gle of missionaries and presented
suggestions for a new government
in Hawaii which make the very walls
of the family compact's temple trem-
BILE. 1t is actually proposed to give
to the Hawaiiaps the rights of Am
erican citizenship and allow them
to vote. The same privilege is ex-
tended to all "whites," and Portu-
guese, who have ever been entitled
to vote in the islands The Presi-
dent will actually be empowered to
appoint governor without the ap.
proval of the "coon.cats" or the
"Thibet ass" and worst of all Sena,
tor Cullom and Mckinley have de-
cided to appoint Judge Zane of
Utah Chief Justice of Hawaii. No
leases of government lands will be
granted in the future for more than
five years, which eventually will in
terfere very materially with the
sugar and meat trusts. Penal labor
contracts will be abolished at once
and everything done to give the
poor people of Hawaii fair show.
How sad! how shockingl how cruel

We understand that Mr.. Hatch
in re City Of Columbia contends that
suits in admiralty can only be heard
in the Federal Courts of the United
States, and therefore disputes the
jurisdiction OF Mr.. Judd's Court in
the libel suits against the unfortun-

knows what he is talking about and
has given welcome opportunity to
our learned Supreme Court to crawl

he would shoot the first man who laid
hands on him.
The government completed the pre-.

noon, and the opening argument for the
defence was made by Counsel Henry
Hudson.
On plea of self-defence, defendants
counsel will attempt to prove that the
shooting was necessary to protect
Peters from bodily harm, and that il
was.not accompanied by malice or at.
tempt to kill.
1t viii also be claimed that Peters
was badly injured by Smart, in tn,

STABBlNG ARRAY AT OAKLAND.
Italian Knifes Another During a Quarrel -Es
capes Into the Woods.

Oakland, Me-, Now 17.-(SpeciaD.-
The police are searching, today, for al
Italian who is alleged to be guilty OF
stabbing an Italian by the name OF
Costa. The story of the affair as told
is as follows:
About II o'clock. last night, the men
were in the hut talking over the work
and finally a dispute arose in regard
to the time. Costa is timekeeper for
the crew of Italians at work putting in
the waterworks in this place, and the
dispute arose over the length of time
the men had worked.
During the evening the talk was hot
and heavy, but finally everything had
apparently blown over. The men
started to go to their places when the
man who had the dispute with Costa
pulled out knife and stabbed Costa
in the abdomen. In the confusion that
followed the stabbing ARRAY, the Ital-
ian escaped into the woods.
A physician was summoned and
everything possible done for the in
jured man. with the result that Costa
will probably be out in a very short
time. The wound is said to be slight.
Deputy Sheriffs Jones and Hersom
at once started to find the Italian who
did the cutting, but up to late, tonight
he had not been captured.
Costa is timekeeper and storekeepei
for the crew of Italians who are at
work on the water works and has the
reputation of being an unusually quiet
and peaceable man.

PHILIPPINE DEBT
Is About All that Spain Is
Now Willing to Lose.
II She Must Lose Islands Wants Debt
to Go With Them.
Therefore Disputes Terms Of Protocol hoping
to Change Our altitude.

| Paris, Nov. 1.-THE clerical force OF
the American peace commission was
busy nearly all night translating the
Spanish memorandum presented at
yesterdays joint session. While the
translators and typewriters were rem
dering the Spanish argument into
English, counsel for the American
commission studied it sheet by sheet,
making notes of records to be examin-
ed and of law points bearing on the
matter in hand.
| AS a result, when the Americans
gathered for their daily session, today,
| the Spanish presentment lay before
them in Englih, ready for consideration
| and accompanied by data bearing upon
it.
No unofficial person knows the con-
tents of the document presented by the
Spanish commissioners, yesterday, but
II is safe to assume that, added to her
lnsistence on the reservation of her
Philippine sovereignty and her propo-
fsition to arbitrate the construction Of
the third article of the protocol, Spain
has made two other important state
ments:
Flrst-That on the high ground of
financial probity she cannot allow any
discussion here of the validity Of her
action in pledging the resources of the
philippines for the payment Of the
Philippine debt.
Second-That, in connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain
for her pacific expenditures in the Phil
lpplnes, she cannot admit of any in
curry as to how she has spent the pro-
ceeds of the loans based on the Phil
ippines pledges.
II Spain has assumed this attitude.
and 1t is believed she has done so. she
practically compels the American COM
missioners to consider at least the en-
tire Philippine debt and its assumption
by the United States or the Philippine
islands, as a condition to SPANS ami.

those islands.

There is good reason to hope
that annexation may, after all,
come by the most decorous means
of the treaty. Should a count OF
noses among the opponents in the
Senate, at the eleventh hour,
prove that there is no chance Of
defeating the Newlands resolution,
it is very probable that they
would stampede out of the cham
Der and allow the treaty to pass
by a two thirds vote of all the
Senators left present. They are
surely patriotic enough to be will.
