OUT OF THEIR OWN MOUTHS.
The Unjust Warfare on American
Meats i'm Germany is Com
demned.

Berlin, March 27.-The meat inspec-
ton bill agitation has been renewed.
The German National Society of Deaf
ers in American Meats publishes d
statement vigorously refuting the
agrarian argument. 1t says:
1.-The first attacks were directed
against canned meats, which, owing to
the high temperature of boiling were
proved harmless. The next attacks
were upon American pork and sau-
sages, which, it was claimed, were
trichinous, but prize of 1000 marks
offered for proof of a single American
case of trichinous pork is still I'M
claimed. 1t has been officially demon
strated that since 1882 not a single
case of American trichinous pork h IS
appeared in Germany"
Herr Bielhaben, the anti-semite, and
other agrarian leaders, are arranging
a series of mass-meetings in support
of the bill in it's present extreme form.
The meetings will be held in all the
leading cities, beginning next Thurs
day at Hamburg.

SUPREME COURT INVOKED.
Writs of Habeas Corpus and Certi-
0rari Petitioned For in a
Puerto Rican'S Case.
WAS CONVICTED OF VOTING ILLE6ALLY.
The Decision of the Court ON the Pes
ton VIII Practically Decide the
Extent to Which the Constitution
of the United States Covers the
Acquired Territory.

Washington, March 27.-Attorney
Frederick D. Kenny, filed a petition
for writs of habeas corpus and GER
tiorari in the United States supreme
court in a case which is expected te
decide the constitutionality of the
provisional court established by the
military authorities of Puerto Rico
The case is that of Ramon BaeZ, of tbs
island, who is serving term at hare
labor on the charge of voting illegally
at the municipal election held at iius.
yama on the 31st of last October.
Baez's case is one of 50, but he is the
only person actually undergoing pun
ishment for the offense charged, sem
tence in the other cases having been
stayed by agreement pending the APP
peal in the Baez case.
The Lawyers Contention.
In his petition Mr.. Kenny takes tho
position that the provisional court
.was without jurisdiction to try and
convict the prisoner, saying:
He was held to answer for an in
famous crime, and was convicted, and
confined at hard labor without pre-
sentiment or Indictment of a grand
jury previously returned against him
this not being case arising in the
land or naval forces or in the militia
in actual service, either in time of war
o. public danger. The ordinary civil
courts of the territory wherein he was
q resident were open and exercising
their ordinary jurisdiction, and there
in he should have been tried, if at all.
The specifications.
HE was and is deprived of his lib
erty without due process of law.
He did not enjoy the right to a
trial by an impartial jury of the dis
trict where the crime was committed.
He was tried and convicted of an
Offense unknown to the law of the
lanG wherein he was a resident
All this is held to be in contrave T.
ton of the constitution of the United
States of which the brief says:
''The Constitution is Supreue.''
1.-THE constitution of the United
States is the supreme law of the land
OF that land which comprehends
territories as well as states-terri-
tories outlying and newly acquired,
as well as those of older acquisition
and more near approach. The sover-
eighty of the United States is cock
tensive with it's territory. AS broad
and long as that territory may be or
NAV become, the constitution with
capacious folds ever envelopes it and
diction of this court extends to pre-
vent oppression and maintain the
guarantees of personal rights. Gber-
ties and immunities against the eXe--
else of despotic power.
The court took the application I'M
der advisement.

Col. Campbell Creates a Panic at tno
Trial of Caleb Powers at
Frankfort.

Frankfort, Ky, March 27.-The most
thrilling event of the examining trial
of republican Secretary of State Caleb
Powers occurred Monday afternoon.
shortly after three o'clock, and Tor q
few minutes is looked as ii serious
trouble could not be averted. Judge
George Denny, for the defendant, IN
an argument upon the competency OF
a question, said:
1T is perfectly lawful for people TO
come here, and to come armed. came
here several times myself.
He was referring to the crowd that
was present at the mass-meeting held
in the state house yard just prior to
GOV. Goebel's assassination.
Col. Campbell, for the prosecution,
replied that he did not consider 1T Ia u
full, and was surprised to know that
Mr.. Denny had come armed. Denny
denied having made such statement,
and said he did not come armed. Camp
bell insisted that he had made the
statement. Both men were very much
excited, and spoke with vehemence
and with arms shaking, commenced TO
advance toward each other.
The courtroom was crowded, and
the audience evidently thought fight
was on and made rush for the doors
and windows, people falling over each
other in their wild efforts to get out
of the room. Several policemen and
deputy sheriffs were crying for order,
and Judge Moore was bringing his
gavel down with terrific force and urg-
ing the people to take their seats. At
ter five or ten minutes of the most eN-
citing scenes since the assassination,
quiet was restored.
Just as soon as the room began to
grow orderly, ex-Gov. Brown, one OF
the attorneys for the defense, whis-
pered to Col. Campbell, who promptly
arose and apologized to Denny and to
the court, Judge Denny replying in
very happy speech. On an inspection
of the record it was found that Col.
Campbell had misconstrued Judge
Denny's statement.
At the conclusion of the examina-
ton of Golden, the commonwealth
rested its case. 1t was stated, Sunday
night. that Mrs. Golden would also be
introduced as witness, but she Was
not put on the stand. 1t is stated
that she is an unwilling witness.
The attorneys for the defense asked
for an adjournment of court at four
o'clock for the purpose of confer
ence with the defendant as to the wit
nesses that will be placed on the stand
in his behalf Tuesday. The court ad-
iourned for this purpose.

Bank Robbers Failed.

San Francisco, March 27.-An at
tempt was made between Saturday and
Monday to rob the bank of Sutro &
Co., the robbers entering the bank by
cutting through the walls of an add
joining vacant store and the wall of
the bank. 1t is thought they intended
cutting into the vault of the bank, but
their calculations went wrong. 1t is
believed the robbers are of the same
gang who attempted to rob the French
bank last week. In neither of the
cases did the robbers secure any
money.

THE TASK NOT YET COMPLETED.

Months May EIapse Before the War
i'm south Africa is Ended.
London, March dispenser Wilkin-
son, in the Morning Post to-day warns
the public against binding themselves
to the magnitude of the task which
has yet to be performed in South Afri-
ca He then refers to the fact that an
immense distance has to be traversed,
and points out that only the smaller
portion of the Free State has vet been
touched by the British advance.
1T is quite possible" he says, "that
the Beers may be able to prolong the
campaign for several months, and the
British advance, though it must have
a crushing effect, can be carried on
only by the persistent exertions of
those in the field and those at home.
Another task which does not ap-
pear to grow easier on nearer ac-
quaintance is the settlement of tie
districts disturbed by rebellion. The
paCitication of these must he difficult
owing to their vast extent. Little can
be done until Sir Alfred Miner is au-
thoriZed to announce the governments
decision as to how rebels should be
treated, and how loyal colonists are
to be compensated for losses.
There should be, of course, no poll
cy of revenge nor will the government
forget that its first duty to itself is to
vindicate its authority. The sooner
these decisions are announced the
sooner will the troubles diminish"
