SENATOR KIRBY.

Senator W. f. Kirby came in
yesterday from Little Rock, to
spend day or two at home with
relatives. He tells us that business
of getting IN shape the appropri-
alton bills, is progressing nicely,
and before adjournment they will be
passed. During the session Mr..
Kirby has been active in behalf of
his constituency, as well as at work
for the good OF the state. His rail
road commission bill which passed
the senate and only failed in the
house by narrow margin, was a
far better bill than that which
passed and became a law. He has
other important measures pending.
His friends in the senate will push
his claims for president of the body,
which carries with it the lieutenant
govertor's place. We hope he will
secure this high honor, as he is well
deserving of the same.

APPLICATION TO HAVE ENG
LISH LAWS ADOPTED.
HERE'S MORE sEDITION LAW FOR YOU
Two American Correspondents Have Been De-
barred. The Court Composed Of Men
Who Have Deserted.
Aguinaldo.

Manila, May 80 p. m.-An order
has been issued re-establishing the
Philippine courts which have been
closed since the American occupation.
1t revives all the Spanish system not
conflicting with the sovereignty OF
the United States.
The chief justice is Cayetano Ar
relano. The associates of the civil
branch are Manuel Araulla, Colonel
Crowder and Gregorio Aranita. The
justices of the criminal branch are
kaymundo Melliza, Ambroslo Rian-
zares Julio Lorento, Major Young and
Captain Birkhimer. Inc Attorney
General is tlorentio Torres. This cor
responds with the American Supreme
Court.
The oath prescribed begins:
Il recognize and accept the supreme
authority of the United States OF
America etc.
The Filipino members are all promi-
nent lawyers. Arrellano is the leader
of his profession in the islands. In
the early stages of the Filipino mve-
ment he was Aguinaldo's principal
adviser. Aranita was a member of
Aguinaldo's first cabinet. Molliza was
President of the insurgent govern
ment at lioilo; Torres is the leader
of the local committee working with
the commission to conciliate the in
surrectionists.
Spanish will be the official language
of the courts.
There has been agitation among the
local British and American business
men and American lawyers who came
to the Philippines to make fortunes,
to have the English code and Ian
guage adopted, but Major General
Otis concluded that it would be un-
wise, even if practicable, to upset long
usage. He thought it best to give the
native courts in the language to
which they have been accustomed.
The Spanish salaries proved stumb-
ling block to obtaining good men,
Ihc highest is only $4,000, the Spanish
Judges receiving fees, which are
abolished. All the judges are rep
resentative men.
Two correspondents of New York
newspaper have been disbarred for
fabricating an interview with General
Iawton. dated May % at Manila, and
for evading the censorship.
The steamer Eel Cano has arrived
from the Island of Guam, bringing the
Filipinos who were exiled there by
the Spaniards for participating in the
