This disposes of over one-half Of the
cases quoted by J. Tomlinson.
The granting of a new trial rests in
the discreation of the trial court and
the Supreme court will not disturb the
desision in this regard unless it is ap-
parent this discretion is abused. In
Peart vs G. M. & St. P. Ry. Co. (5 s. D.

and the Supreme Court refused to in
terfere. That is all there is to this
case.
The case Of Erpenbach vs. G. NJ. &
st. P. Ky. Co. e s. D. 575) involves
simply question of costs in vacating
default Judgment of a justice of the
peace. (76 N. W. 95S) is the same ques-
tion.
The case of Brown vs. the G. M. & St.
P Ky. Co. is another justice of the peace
case. 1t holds bond on appeal from
justice court is requisite to give the
appellate court jurisdiction.
The case of Owen vs. B. CIR. & N. Ry.
holds that duly recorded chattel mort
age holds in preference to subsequent
claim of q railway company for freight.
These are all the cases quoted. Any
person can easily look them up.
They are utterly unimportant and in
volve only elementary questions of law
and practice, which no one but rail-
way attorney would have the nerve to
dispute.
In every case for the past six years
where great controlling question of
law was involved, the court has ruled
in favor of the corporation every time.
In casses in which minor questions of
practice, which affected only the case
at the bar they decided against the
company.
We ask a careful examination of
these cases, especially by the bar of the
state. Every substantial charge Of our

be found to be sustained to the letter.
The fact that Judge Fuller and Haney
did not take part in all cuts no figure.
Corson did anc Fuller and Haney have

that Judge Fuller was appointed at the

Judge Corson. Mr.. Corson not only II
too old to be reelected but he has stood
by the corporations just as valiantly
as his associates.
J. Tomlinson quotes a few cases in
which he says the appeals of the rail
way companies were denied. We are
pleased to have smoked out this de-
fence as they thereby show the ques-
tions involved.
It is we'll known that as a matter OF
policy the railway companies appeal
every case which goes against them,
whether there is error in the trial or
not, and when there is no error OF law
involved they try to get the supreme
court to reverse the lower court on the
ground that the evidence dares not
sustain the verdict. When there are
only questions of fact involved the
supreme court will not review them.
This rule is we'll established. To this
class of cases belong:

him that we had succeeded to Spain's
rights and obligations, which we would
strictly respect. We would sacredly

Sultan reciprocated these friendly senti-
ments.
TO NEGOTIATE THE TREATY..
Manila special July 10, 1899:
Gen. Bates, in the capacity Of agent
of the United States government,
sailed for Jolo this morning to negoti-
ate with the Sultan of Jolo regarding
the future relations of the Jolo Tor Sulu)
archipelago. He will present to the
Sultan SIC, 200 in Mexican money as an
evidence Of good will The local ad-
ministration of the Jolos will remain
unclaimed.
SLAVERY AND POLYGAMY IN
SISTED UPON.
Special to the Chicago Record from
Sandoyan, Ph., July "a, 1899:
Gen. Bates reached Sulu the 10Th to
arrange treaty with the Sultan at q
conference to begin today. The only
features likely to be troublesome are
slavery and the plurality of wives,
which points, it is believed, the natives
will insist upon.
SULTAN SLOW TO BE CON-
WINGED.
Iloilo special New York Herald, Aug.
13, 1899:
Gen. Bates is still negotiating. for a
treaty with the Sultan of the Sulu ISL
ands. The Sultan is as yet unwilling
to accept the terms offered by the
Americans.
NATURE OF THE TREATY MADE.
Opening paragraph of the treaty:
Agreement between Brig. Gen. John
C. Bates, representing the United
States, of the one part and his highness
the Sultan of Sulu the Dato Rajah
Muda, the Dato Attik, the Dato Cable
and the Dato Joakauain, of the other
part; it being understood that this
agreement will be in full folce only
when approved by the governor general
of the Philippine islands and confirmed
by the president of the United States,
and will be subjected to future modi-
fcatiop by the mutual consent of the
parties in interest.
Concluding portion of the treaty:

SLAVERY AND P0LYGAMY.
Regnition Of Both Under the Stars
and Stripes Agreement With
the Sultan Of SuIu.

The administration having caused il
to be published widely that there is nc
treaty with the Mohammedan Sultan OF
Sulu and that the treaty as published Is
forgery and doesn't recognize slavery
nor polygamy anyway, the following
quotations from the Record will be of
interest to all who love freedom and
believe in the sanctity Of the home.
The full text of the treaty has been
published in the Press and other news
papers. The copy was sent to the
United States by mail by John I. NC
Cutcheon, correspondent of the Chicago
Record, who was with Gen. Bates
when the treaty was made and signed
and who obtained his copy at that time.
The treaty guarantees protection to the
Mohammedan Sultan, non-interference
with polygamy or other religious GUS
toms, recognizes the legality OF slavery
by providing that slaves may purchase
their freedom by paying their masters
'the usual market price," and requires
that the Sultan shall fly the American
flag at home or abroad ut all times and
es, lablished the full sovereignty of the
LrJted States over the archipelago.
4Nn. Bates, in negotiating the treaty,
ySted not as the representative of the
. O@ACoN 0t6GeS government no pre-
sented the treaty first to Gen. Otis for
his approval before it was sent on to
Washington to receive the sanction of
Mckinley. The fact that he forwarded
it to Washington shows that it has re-
ceived the approval of Otis, but it is
not known whether Mckinley has yet
approved Of it, although there has been
no denial of that fact.
Here is the record as it has been
made:
rHEFLAG STANDS FOR FREEDOM.
Constitution of the United States
Neither slavery nor involuntary SER
vitude, except as punishment for
crime, whereof the party shall haye
been duly convicted shall exist within
the United States or any place subject
to their Jurisdiction.
THE PROMISE TO THE SULTAN.
Prof. Schurman, interview cabled from
Manila to New York Sun, June 8, 1899:
greeted the Sultan in the name of
the President of the United States, and
gave him friendly assurances, said
that the interests of both demanded the
peaceful development of the islands and
&heir improvement. I told him that

COUNTING THE COST.
Bills For Recruiting Kansas
Troops Aggregate $37,787.

The recruiting of the Kansas vo1un-
teerS Tor the war with Spain cost S37,-
1874, for which a bill has been pre-
scented to the national government
The statement of all the expenses in
CURED has been completed by State
Auditor George Z. Cole and forwarded
to Senator Baker at Washington. The
senator will present the claim to the
auditor of allowances for the war de-
partment and push its payment
This is the first war claim presented
to the national government by the state
OF Kansas without the Intervention of
a state agent. State agents exist by
collecting commissions upon claims of
this character, but there is a sentiment
among the officials of the present ad-
ministration that a state agent is an
unnecessary appendage Of the state
government, and for this reason the
state agent has been ignored in this
transaction.
OF course, the state agent loses a fee
of nearly $4,000 but this amount is saved
to the state by the action of the auditor
in communicating through Senator
Baker with the war department officials
in the collection of these claims.
The state agent last winter sought
| to have legislative sanction of the plan
| which would insure his association with
! the job of collecting these claims but
! the state auditors friends took a hand
! in the matter and stated that the audi
/ tor would attend to the business. In
| this manner the state agent was frozen

SEQUEL OF CHURCH DEBT.
st. Luke's in Minneapolis Deserted
and Stripped of It's Contents.

Minneapolis. Dec. 22.-The edifice at
Thirty-second street and Pleasant ave-
nue. West, known for years as St.
Luke's Episcopal church and subse-
quently as Christ's church, is now a
church in name only. It stands today
without congregation, stripped of pulpit
and all furniture and furnishings.
The building was erected in 1887. and
had a congregation of 125 persons, but
was encountered with a debt. The sum
Of $4,000 was borrowed from a. business
man Of this city. For a time the inter
est was paid regularly, but later fell
behind. The holder of the mortgage in
sisted on his money. Then trouble arose,
there was a split in the congregation
and many members Joined other
churches The creditors foreclosed the
mortgage and bid in the property.
An arrangement was made by which
some of the members of the church con-
tinued to use the church for services at
a stated rental There was trouble
again and creditor and congregation
drifted apart. Recently the owner Wis
tied the church and found that all its
contents had been removed. At first he
intended to institute criminal proceed
fngs against parties he suspected, but
finally decided to drop the matter.
