A MEETING HELD

BY Cleveland Judges to Act on Judge

Cleveland, November 25.-The meet
ing of the judges was held this after
noon in accordance with the call issued

Judge Blandin, last Wednesday, 1t was
decided before proceeding against
Judge Blandin, either by contempt
proceedings or through the newspapers.
to procure a copy of his speech, as it
was taken by the official stenographer.
Judge Dissete was instructed to pro-
cure the copy at the earliest possible
moment as the judges desire to dispose
of the matter with all dispatch posi-
Bile.
1t is altogether improbable contempt
proceedings will be instituted against
Judge Blandin as a majority of the
members of the bench are opposed to it
even though it should be agreed there
are elements of contempt in Judge
Blandin's arraignment of the bench.
Judge Ong may, however, proceed
against Judge Blandin alone if he de-
cides the judge is in contempt.
Judges Dellenbaugh and Lamson did
not attend the meeting.

Sections Of the message have been
gone over by the President with the

partments they particularly relate, and
the indications now are that the mes
sage will exceed in length any sent TO

WHAT IT MEANS.
Mr.. DingIey Explains the open Door
Policy.

Mr.. Dingley Explains the 'Open Door
Policy.
Washington, November 2o.-Chalr-
man Dingley, of the Ways and Means
Committee, in an interview with Star
reporter to-day, explained the term
open door policy as applied to the
future commerce of the Philippine is
lands in case they should be acquired
by the United States.
1.-The phrase open door policy, which
is now being talked about so much in
the newspapers, said Mr.. Dingley,
means simply equality OF treatment,
and not free trade. AS applied to the
dependency of a country, IL simply
means that imports from all countries
are to be admitted on the same terms
as imports from the mother country.
AS applied to the Philippines, 1t would
mean that imports from Great Britain
and all other foreign countries are to
be admitted at the same rates of duty
as imports from the United States.
'Of course this policy could not be
| applied to the Philippines ii they
| should be admitted into the Union with
a territorial form of government, be-
cause the constitution provides that
| duties shall be uniform within the
| United States unless there should be an
amendment to the constitution permit
ting this.
| "In the decision of the open door
policy, | notice that many papers as
| sumo that it is the uniform policy OF
| Great Britain in her relation VITA hel
colonies. 1t should be borne in mind
however, that there is a conspicuous
exception to this in the case OF CANADA
her most important colony, which adj
mits imports from Great Britain at q
per cent. less duty than they are al
mitted from the United States ant
other countries. 1t is understood tina
this policy was adopted by Canada J
not on the suggestion, at least with tn
approval of Mr.. Chamberlain, British
7 Secretary for the colonies, and that b
is urging other colonies Of Great bri'
ain to give a similar preference Io>> ina
country" /,

THINK THEY WILL SIGN.

Washington, D. c.. November 25.-
Up to 1870 this afternoon when the
Cabinet meeting adjourned, nothing
had been received from Paris indicat-
ing what would be the Spanish reply
to the latest memorandum of the
American commissioners. No one in
high official circles, however, doubts
that the Spaniards ultimately will sign
a treaty although it is expected in
some quarters that a demand may be
made for an increase in the amount of
cash payment named by the American
commissioners.

AN ANSWER FILED
BY the b. s. o.. Receivers to the Petition
Regarding the Sale of w. U. stock.


Regarding the Sale Of w. U. Stock.
Baltimore, November 25.-The re-
ceivers of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company filed their answer in the
United States Circuit Court to-day to
the petition regarding the sale OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company
stock made by the State and Johns
Hopkins University.
They allege that when the road pass
ed into their hands it was the owner OF
10000 shares Of the stock of the tele-
graph company, of the par value OF
$780, All of the stock has been pledg-
ed by the defendant as collateral Sc
curity for the payment OF notes, ex-
cept 500 shares pledged under a note
of the Pittsburg and Western Railway
Company, held by the Mercantile Trust
Company, of New York. An order is
asked approving the action of the re-
ceivers
An answer was also filed to the
amendment and addition to the sup
Elemental petition of the State OF
MARYLAND and the Johns Hopkins In
stitte. They say that under the or
der of the court they used the secur1-
ties released to make good the margin
required under other loaIs secured by
the company's collaterals and thus pro-
tect such collatsrals.
The receiyers say further they are
advised that the facts alleged by the
petitioners are wholly insufficient in
law to support the charge Of construc-
tive fraud, made against certain mem
bers of the reorganization committee.
"While the receivers" says the an
swer. "of course do not know the Sc
cret purposes or thoughts OF the sew
eral members of the committee, they
| firmly believe, from all information
! they have, and so state, that as to each

Baltimore, November 25.-CardinSl
Gibbons, in discussing the recent rac6
troubles in the South. said to repre-
sentative OF the Baltimore Sun to-day:
''In the history OF mankind it has
been observed that when two distinct
races co-existed in the same territory,
one race has always exercised GER
tain supremacy over the other. While
this principle is admitted, it is the
manifest duty of every patriotic states
man and Christian To see that the rela-
tons between the races should be
friendly, harmonious and mutually
beneficial
THE race conflicts, antagonisms and
bloodshed which have recently occur
red in several States of the Union can
be largely traced to two great causes
the one-sided and ill-directed system OF
negro education and the indiscriminate
exercise and consequent abuse OF the
ballot box.

Cardinal, ARE naturally kind and gem

ligious emotions easily aroused. But
the education they are generally re-
ceiving is calculated to sharpen their
mental faculties at the expense of their
religious and moral sense. Il fosters
ambition without the means of crafty

heart is starved.
mo education is complete that does
not teach the science OF self-restrainy.
and this is found only In the decalogue
and in the gospels. But 1t is hard to

Paris, November 25.-It is now
known that Spain will exhaust her tine
limit, which expires on Monday, before
replying to the American offer regard
ing the Philippine islands. In the
meantime the Spaniards are canvass
ing the entire field and exhausting
every resource to postpone the lnev-
table
AS cabled to the Associated Press on
Wednesday, they could not accept the
American ultimatum as final without
asking if it really were so. That ap-
piled to the time limit. Now the
Spaniards apparently doubt the fixed
ness of the amount the Americans Of
fsgad for the Philippines, and to-day
they sent Communication to the
American commissioners asking if the
latter would accept counter proposal
bv Spain to cede the Philippines f6ls

Americans might be willing to lop on
the great island of Mindanao from the
Philippines and pay Spain S50,0Oo,ooO
for what would remain, instead OF S20,-

Spain will learn in response to such
inquiries that Americans employ the
word "ultimatum" to signify ultimate
conditions
However strenuously Spain may seek
to increase her money advantage Tor
the eession of the Philippines, she will
finally be compelled to know that the
United States offer means $4,000, 1000
no more, no less, and that the whole
archipelago must pass to the United
States for that sum.
Spain, before giving up or turning
, away, will also propose some alternate
bargains of the Carolines or the Can
