DELAWARE

The explanation of this is that tho
Legislature no longer having juria-
diction in divorce cases, all such cases
must 60 before tho courts, which now
have sole authority in them. The
divorces granted ut this term are all
strictly under the statute, which is
moro than could DO said for some
Legislative divorces.
The cost of the grand jury for the
present term was 1852. 60; OF the
general jurors, seS3 IA, and of the
additional jurors, s310.70 The re-
maintler of the term will be devoted to
arguments.
Argument was begun in the Superior
Court yesterday in case of Samuel D..
Forbes, Maria G. Hartmann and James
+. Porter, defendants below VS.. the
State of Delaware, plaintiffs below, n
writ of certiorari to test the consti-
nationality of the Municipal Court
According to the statement of the case
submitted by Anthony Higgins and
William f. Smalley, Jr., attorneys for
the defendants below, said defendants
were adjudged guilty in the Municipal
Court and sentenced to pay fine oil
$50 and costs each, and were COM
mitted to the custody of the High
Constable until such sentence should
be carried into execution. Tho de-
PENDANTS below claim that the Munich
pal Court was without jurisdiction in
the case, and that the said court was
no longer in existence, Having been
abolished on the tenth day of June
A. ID. 1897 by section of the schedule
of the Constitution of the State Of
Delaware promulgated on the fourth
day Of June A. ID. 1897" Is
Counsel then 60 into tho legislation
with respect to the Municipal Court
and maintain that it was abolished by
the new Constitution, which provided
that all courst of Justice then existing
should expire. with the exception
that, unless otherwise provided, the
|'registers' courts and the jurisdiction Of
justices of the peace should not be
affected. The amended Constitution
requires that the Judge of the Munich.
| pal Court shall be appointed by the
governor with the consent of ma
| jority of all the members elected to the
| Senate and for such term as shall be
| fixed by the Constitution or by the
law. 1t is held that the court is
abolished because the judge has moi
been appointed as in accordance with
the provision mentioned above. 1t is
further held that the abolition Of the
court is not saved by section 16 of the
| schedule which provides that unles:
otherwise provided by the Constitution
or schedule, the terms of persons hold
ing public offices shall not be vacated
or otherwise affected thereby.
City Solicitor Henry @. Conrad ano
Assistant City Solicitor Medford H.
Cahoon represented the city.
The attorneys on tho part of the city
commended that with liberal con
struction of the ninth section of thu
schedule in combination with seyera
sections of the Constitution itself, il
was clearly the intention of ths
trainers of tho Constitution to con
tinue the Municipal Court; in fact, il
no way to interfere with the corporal,
rights, powers and immunities grantee
unto the city by the charter Of 1883.

The indications are that the Will
mington harbor will receive the full
benefit Of the appropriation which was
made for tho purpose at the last ses-
sion Of Congress. There has been q
great demand at the Office of United
States Engineer Smith for information
concerning the specifications ara 80
banks for bidders have been sent to
parties doing the sort of work required.
This indicates that the competition
will be unusually active.
The time is favorable for good prices,
as Congress did not pass a river and
harbor bill at the last session and some
OF the dredging people are hungry for
work. The bidders knowing Of the
great competition, will naturally give
thoir host figures, and everything
points to Wilmington obtaining the
full benefit of the money.
Some of the prospective bidders are
personally informing themselves con-
corning the condition Of the Christiana.
Work was commenced ON Tuesday by
Chester 4. Caller on his contract to
dredge the Nanticokc River from the
bridge ut Seaford TO deep water point.
The appropriation for the work is
SO, 900.
Mr.. Caller has completed his contract
on the Wicomico River from Salisbury
TO the mouth of the stream.
The work in both streams is under
the supervision of Gen. Smith, who is
in charge of the territory.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Paris, France, Sept. 2S.-The United
States Peace Commission went into
session at IL o'clock. this morning.
The Gaulois says: sin spite of the
mystery surrounding the matter, we
are able, from a high source, to give
an outline Of the position of both COM
missions. While the Americans have
instructions which are much more
precise than those of the Spaniards,
there is diversity of opinion in re.
gard to the Philippines. Senator Gray
is very ardent Democrat and, con-
sequently, belongs to the party which
repudiates expansion. He opposes all
annexation, and his opinion, therefore,
totally differs from that of the other
four commissioners, some of whom
would be content with coaling
station at the Philippines, possibly
Cavite, while others, like Senator
Davis, advocate the annexation of the
whole of the Archipelago.
The Gaulois, however, believes that
the Americans, by mutual concessions,
will come to- an agreement, and that
they will all be largely influenced by
Major. General Merritt's reports on the
situation.
The instructions to the Spanish COM
mission, according to the Gaulois, are,
briefly, to hold out and make the best
terms possible.
