until the next city election at salary OF
So. 400 year, and will hold court every al
ternate month. The clerk and deputy clerk
will also hold over. but at reduced salaries.
The new court will not have any civil
Jurisdiction, but it's criminal Jurisdiction will
be cO-extensve with the limits of Ramsey
county and embrace all preliminary exami-
nations of persons accused of crime. and all
offenses cognizable under the. general laws
OF the state before justice of the peace. as
we'll as those arising under the charter, ordi
nances, laws, regulations or bylaws of the
city of st. Paul.. The procedure will be sub
stantially the same as under the present
law In criminal cases.
Appeals are to be taken to the district court
instead of the supreme court, as now. and
as the district court holds monthly terms
criminal appeals will be disposed of under
this plan more speedily and at less expense
All civil actions pending in the present
municipal court at the date of the passage
Of the act will be transferred to the dis
trict court. where they will be proceeded
with to final judgment as if they had been
instituted in that court, except that the law
imposing defendants costs and disbursements
on plaintiff who RECEIVERS less than $40 will
not apply to such cases.
The present expenses of the municipal court
are as follows:

The miscellaneous expenses include the per
diem Of the special judges and such jury fees
| and witness fees as are chargeable to the
county, and judging from past experience,
the estimate made Is sufficiently liberal. I'm
der the present law no provision is made
for the payment Of such fees in state cases.
The court is authorized in preliminary
hearings and other state cases to appoint a
competent stenographer' at So per day. and
the same fees for making transcripts as are
allowed in the district court, the party de-
manding the transcript to pay for it.
This. in brief. is the proposed law. and. TO
the careful consideration of an interested
public 1t is respectfully submitted.

a public man exhibits that tired feel

EXCITING BURGLAR CHASE
Hunted Man Fatally Wounds Another in
His Way.
Finally Escapes His Pursuers Under
shower of Bullets From
PoIicemen's Pistols.

NEW YORK, January 24.-After being
hunted from house to house, fired at from
a dozen windows and by half dozen police
men, a burglar turned at bay and shot
George Everhart, a plumber, through the
abdomen. Everhart will probably die.
Charles Steele, Bowery deniZen, is under
arrest on suspicion of being the burglar.
The burglar was first discovered by
Charles Frank, a real estate dealer, who
lives on 9th street. The burglar had rugged
up a rope ladder from the roof of the next
house. The ladder led to a room formerly
occupied by Joseph Young, reputed to be
a rich pool room man, who always kept
large supply of cash and diamonds in his
room. Young is a st. Augustine, Fla.
Police in the Chase.
Frank ran to a nearby police station and
soon half dozen policemen were on the
roof of Franks house. Meantime the burg
lar had entered the house where Young
lived, and which is kept by Mrs. Goetz.
She heard him shouting, Let me out, let
me out He apparently feared he was
trapped. Mrs. Goetz yelled 'Police! and
the burglar ran into her cellar, gained the
back yard and was scaling the fence, when
the policemen on the next roof saw him.
They fired at him.
Nearby windows were thrown up, and
an assortment of firearms. Nothing daunt-
ed, the burg ar swung himself onto The
windoWSill of room on the ground floor of
Franks house Mrs. Jennie Morris saw
him peering into her room. Let me in,
pleaded the burglar Mrs. Morris took a
pearl handled revolver from her bureau
drawer and answered the burglar by open
ing the window and discharging the weapon
in his face. AS the revolver was only load
ed with blank cartridges the burglar was
simply discounted, but by no means ami
hilated.
He swung himself to the fire escape and
reached the second floor. There lives Mrs.
Annie Everhardt with her two sons, George
and Frederick. George, who is twenty
four years old. saw the burglar hanging on
the balcony, and taking up a board, struck
him over the head
Don't hit me; don't hit me-" pleaded the
burglar, but Everhardt kept up the attack.
Finally Brought to Bay.
Then the burglar turned at bay Draw
ing revolver from his pocket he fired one
shot. The bullet entered Everhardt's abdo-
men, and he fell. His mother dropped in a
swoon over his body and the burglar
climbed ona flight higher and pleaded
through the window for admission to Mrs
Ehrlich's apartments. He got inside. and
while Mrs. Enrich shouted Murder and
Police darted through the door, down
the stairs and out into the street.
He had few minutes start of the police
VINO, an hour later, arrested Steele in a
BoWery boarding house, as his description
answered that given of the burglar by the
score of people whose slumbers he had dis
turbed.
Later Everhardt died from the effects of
the wound inflicted by the burglar.

CLAY FOR FILIPINOS

ACQUISITION an UNWISE POLICY
The Georgia Senator Describes the
Islands and Their People.
NEED OF A DECLARATION

Mr.. Clay of Georgia, one of the demo-
cratic senators who expects to vote for the
ratification of the treaty of peace, ad-
dressed the Senate this afternoon on the
general question of territorial expansion.
He made it very clear that nothing should
be allowed to stand in the way of prompt
ratification but that this government
should hold out to the Filipinos the same
promises of ultimate independence that are
held out to the Cubans.
Mr.. Clay began by expressing the opinion
that, had it been declared at the beginning
of the war that it was the purpose of this
country to conquer, acquire and annex the
Philippines, the proposition would not have
had half dozen votes in the Senate. He
believed that the suggestion of possible ac-
QUESTION and annexation of the Philippine
Islands as a natural result of the war
would have prevented the passage of the
war reso. ution by Congress Discussing
further the purposes of the war, he quoted
President Mckinleys message to Congress
declaring il the duty of this government
to assist the people of Cuba to build up a
government that is free and independent,
and asked WHY should not the same decla-
ration be made with regard to the people
of the Philippines.
The responsibility is on our hands and
we must meet it in practical, common
way"
