the two propositions that this court had
no Jurisdiction because the petitions do
not present a case of equity and do not
fall under the provisions of the four
teenth amendment of the United States
constitution He said the situation was
one in which the position of these COM
plainants Is in course of settlement by
a state tribunal Contest proceedings
in their cases are pending. This condi-
ton presents none Of the features Of an
equity case.
Mr.. Maxwell then reeited number Of
cases in which 1t had been held that
the court had no power to interfere in
the removal of an officer, and that courts
of equity took cognizance only Of civil
and property rights. This being true, he
claimed there was no ground whatever
for federal interference.
Referring to the claim under the four
teenth amendment, he said the right to
hold an office In the state of Kentucky
was not one of the rights guaranteed
by that amendment. These offices were
creations of the state of Kentucky and
the right to hold them cannot be con-
strued into one of tho rights designated
In the amendment referred to.
In conclusion he ridiculed the position
of the plaintiffs, who while still in the
process of ascertaining whether or not
they had been elected, proposed to
throw aside the provisions of the state
law and ask the power Of this court ON
their behalf.

AUTHORITIES CITED.

Mr.. A. E. Wilson, for the plaintiffs, fol-
lowed in a brief argument in which
he took much time in reading authorities
on the subject of the jurisdiction Of q
court under the fourteenth amendment
of the United States constitution. He
spoke feelingly of the gravity Of the sit
uation in Kentucky. He characterized
this court as one free from the excite-
ment and partisanship that existed in
Kentucky. These plaintiffs, he said,
have come here as a last resort, SO that
the people Of Kentucky shall have the
right recognized by the constitution OF
Kentucky before they take the law IN
their own hands to make a new constitu>
ton.
Mr.. ]. A. Scott, for the defendants,
made the point that the court could not
interfere to prevent the future action of
the board of contest. He said the only
real attack which had been made on the
Goebel law was that ie provided that all

earthquake shock was felt here about
midnight last night. 1t was the most
severe that has been experienced in
several years, and created panic at

preceded by dull sound like mine
explosion. Two shocks followed, the
former being quite severe and the lat

rooms became scenes of frantic com.
motion. Several people rushed into
the streets. At MORO Castle liberty

no fear.

The Chief Rioters We're Several Hundred Of the
British West Indies Regiment.
New York, Dec. 20.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Kingston, Jamaica,
says: Serious riots growing out of the
race feeling took place in the streets OF
this city last night. The chief rioters
were several hundred negro soldiers of
the British West Indies regiment, who
we're supported by natives of their
own color. They attacked civilians
in the streets and maltreated many so
badly that they were taken to the
hospital and are under treatment for
severe injuries. Lieutenant. Colonel
Allen, who is in command of the regi.
ment, endeavored to control his men,
but was unable to do SO by persuasion.
He then organized the police and swore
in citizens to aid in keeping the peace.
The soldiers and petty officers have re.
fused to surrender to the police ana
defy their officers. Most of them are
in the military camp, and the streets
are guarded by q force of police and
volunteers under Lieutenant. Colonel
Allen. Severe measures will be taken
against the mutinous blacks. There
is great unrest in the city and vicinity,
and race feeling is at a high pitch. 1t
is feared that something will precipi.

the military barracks have been aban.
doned under orders from the authori.
ties, and all civilians have been
warned to remain indoors until the
trouble is over.

Vancouver b. c., Dec. l9.-News oil
the worst marine disaster of the season
in British Columbia was brought here
tonight by the steamer Gear. from
Union bay, on the east side of Vancou.
YER island. The steamer Alpha was
wrecked on reef near the entrance
to Union bay and not a vestige OF the
1,00O.tOn steamer remains. Her man.

stOwaway were drowned, and the rest
of the crew Of 81 were saved by the
pluck of an unknown member Of the
ships Grew, who swan in raging sea
from the wreck to lighthouse with
line around his waist.
The Alpha was valued at $45. 200.
Her cargo compr sed $50 tons Of salt

isgned to Yokohama, and valued at
$4,000. The total insurance on the
ship and cargo was Sea, 1000.
1t is two weeks since the Alpha first
started from Vancouver for Japan.
After she had been four days out she
returned to Victor a partly disabled,
and accusations of tampering with her
engines we're made. Some Of the crew
and several of the officers left the
steamer declaring that she had been
improperly loaded. and one OF the Off.
GERS was tried and sentenced to six
weeks imprisonment for desertion.
Last Saturday the Alpha left VIC
toria for Union to replcA,sh her coal
supply. A terrific gale was raging and
late Saturday night the steamer ran on
rock at Baynes sound, at the en-.

which is rock 200 yards wide. until
Sunday night, when the sea moderated
somewhat and a sloop was able to call
and take them to Union.
But the storm which had wrecked

and SO no tidings Of the shipwreck

Switzerland was made arbitrator. Her
decision was in favor of Brazil. 1t Is
now reported that some French finan.
ciers, anticipating that the decision
would be favorable to France, had
already invested theif capital In this
territory. They are now. 1t ID said,

French government will buy this
land from Brazil
The state department has absolutely
no knowledge ON the subject. Its at
tention. however. has been called to
the natter, and the attempt OF the
French capitalists to secure government
aid in getting their money back will be
watched with interest. There is hard
ly any question. it is said at the de-
partment, that such action would be a
violation OF the Monroe doctrine. and
would call forth protest from the
United States.
As long az the claim was in its orig

tanned that she was simply rectifyinQ
her boundaries. and that the United
States cannot object to that Even in
that case modification OF boundaries
which involved an area OF 100, DOC
SQUARE miles would be closely scrutin'
lied. France has. however. forfeited
the right to make that claim by sub
mitting the matter to arbitration by
Switzerland. The territory has beer
officially decreed by the Swiss tribu'
nal to be outside of French Guiana.
