WORKING up SUITS
Minnesota Supreme Court Sits Down on Practice.

Minneapolis, Minn., May 5.-The su- preme court, Justice Mitchell, w7iti1g the opinion, today handed down an important decision relative to the So licitation of certain classes of business
 by attorneys. The case was that Of Leonard w Gammons of this city, re- spondent against Gustaf Johnson, ap pellant. From the syllabus it appears that Mir Gammons made an arrange ment with one H., by which H should canvass certain counties fer claims of land owners against railroad com- panies for failure to fence railroad lines through such owners lands, H. to employ a lawyer, institute proceed ings, and pay all costs, his own com pensation and that of Eis attorney from what was recovered from the companies; no charges to be made f nothing was collected. MT. Gammons was to be the attorney. About seventy cases, including that of Johnson, were secured. A subsequent suit by MT. G2mmons against MT. Johnson for Services and disbursem elt5 in his case against one of the railroads resulted favorably to the plaintiff in the lower court, but 1t was reversed by the su- preme court, which holds as follows:
 ''Held, That plaintiff cannot recover even the reasonable value and amount of these services and disbursements; that this systematic scheme Uf work ing up and instigating vexatio ous liti- gation in which he and H. were not interested and to which all the parties were entire strangers, was champer- tous and barratous and against public policy.
 "The rule that an attorney may. notwithstanding a champertous con- tract as to his compensation, recover the reasonable value of his services lawfully performed in litigation legit- imately instituted is not applicable The vice was not merely tn the con- tract for compensation, but in the unlawful and vexatious scheme by which the litigation itself was worked up and instigated."

AN ANGLo-RUssIAN AGREEMENT.
No Railway Concessions to Be Ob-
 tained in the Yangtse Valley.

London, May 5.-A report from St. Petersburg says that the Anglo-Rus- sian railway agreement was signed yesterday. By the terms of the agree ment Russia contracts not to obtain or to assist any other power to obtain a railway concession in the Yargtse valley, while Great Britain similarly contracts in regard to Manchuria.
 The agreement does not make any explicit declaration in the matter of maintaining the independence of the Chinese government, but merely aims to put an end to the two years battle for concessions.
 Lord Salisbury, speaking at the an- nual banquet Of the Royal academy this evening, confirmed the report that an agreement had been signed between Great Brisain and Russia respecting China, which, he thought, would pre- vent the Likelihood of collision Of interests and objects in the future.

PROBLEM OF BRIGGS
Some EpisCopaIianS Medifafe
 a Charge Of HereSy.
If inc Bishop Doesn't Ordain Him Be- fore They Gan Gef Together. why Was Hostile Church FirSf SeItCfed for fine Purpose

New York. May 5-Episcopal
 clergymen Of the diocese of Naw
 York who are opposed to the admis-
 sion of Dr. Charles A. Briggs of Union Theological seminary to the priest
 hood are anxiously awaiting Bishop
 Potter's next step. None of the oppo-
 nents of Dr. Briggs ordination was
 able to learn today where the bishCp
 would orda;n him. Dr. Briggs went
 yesterday to Boston, wheze he will
 preach on Sunday in Trinity, the late
 Phillips Brooks church. Some of pr. : Briggs opponents suggested as a pos
 sibility that the former Presbyterian
 might be ordained in Trinity tomor-
 row by the h,shco of Massa chusetts Under the canons of the church the bishop of Massachusetts could act fer
 the bishop of New York. Two weeks from today Bishop Potter will ad~ vance to the priesthood a Japanese Episcopal deason, John K. Och:ai, who is under the bishop of Ch:cagc, Bishop Potter will act for Bishop Me- Laren.
 But the leaders of the Episcopal movement against Dr. Briggs do not believe that Bishop Potter seeks to prevent them from making the pro- test which the cacons Of the church give them the right to make. Some of the clergymen in the movement even go So far as to express the opin- ion that BishCp Potter really does not want to ordain the Union Theo- logical seminary professor. They ask why the bishop chose St. Peters church in West Chester for ordina- ton, if it were not for the purpose of making sure that Dr. Briggs ordina- tion would be strongly opposed. The bishop, they say, has long known the Rev Dr. Frank NJ. Clendecin of St. Peters as 2 pronounced high church man of set opinions, a msn who has always opposed the higher criti- cism' of the bible. The bishop knows him, too. as man who sticks to his side of a case. The bishop by select tng St. Peters church for the ordina ton, virtually challenged Dr. Clen- denin, theso people say, to lead the fight against Dr. Briggs
 pr. Briggs Episcopal opponents are devisinG plans to prevent the or dination. If he is not ordained before his opponents gather thar forces, it is i probable that Q charge of heresy will be drawn up and presented to the bishop. This will necessitate the 1 holding of an ecclesiastical court to try Dr. Briggs. Among the many let ters received yesterday by Dr. Glen denim from Episcopal clergyn,9n in- dorsing his stand was one from | | clergyman in the neig1boring diocese him to make a protest dur ing the ordination.
