The beet sugar bounty law passed by
the Michigan Legislature and under
which large bounties have been paid
the past two years has been declared
to be an unconstitutional measure by
the supreme court of that state. The
law has operated to give the beet sugar
business fine start in that state, and
the industry can probably get along
now without such bonus.

House plants affected with aphis, or
red spiders, as they almost always are,
can be rid of the pests by plunging the
plant into hot water of a temperature
of 115 to 100 degrees. Put a hand on
the dirt to hold it in the pot and invert
the pot to make the dip. Nearly all
plants are very much benefited by this
hot water bath.

The Advance More Rapid Than

Washington, August 13.-The Ameri-
can commander in China, in a despatch
of just three words, received at the War
Department late this afternoon, sent q
thrill of exuItation and expectancy
throughout Official quarters by announc-
ing his arrival at Ho 81 WI, only 33 miles
from Pekin last Thursday. The last
heard from him before this was at Yang
Tsun, which had been captured after
hard fight and word of his movements
since then had been eagerly awaited.
Thursday he was IS miles beyond Yam &

Another Legal Quibhle 20 Prevent
Extraditfon.

New York, August 3.-Judge La
combe OF the United states circuit court
today refused to sign the writ of extra
didon Tor Charles +. ". Neely on ac-
count Of the action Of United States
Judge Wallace granting an appeal to the
i United States supreme court in habeas
corpus proceedings. Judge Lacombe
indicated that he did not think Judge
Wallace understood the real situation
and expressed his belief that If it went
to the supreme court in its present shape
the application for writ of habeas
corpus would de denied.
In refusing to sign the extradition
writ Judge Lacombe said in part:
81 came here this morning to sign an
order putting Neely Ia custody under an
act passed by Congress on June last.
provided The government made a dispo-
sition Of the two suits under which
orders of arrest stl stand against him.
/ ind, however, that the exceptional
zeal of the prisoner counsels has pro-
duced a most peculiar situation, a com
plicatIon, that so far as l know, has
never before existed in connection with
extradition cases. Judge Wallace of this
court has been applied to for writ of
habeas corpus on the ground among
others, that the act of Juae is uncon
stitutional. The writ of habeas corpus
was asked in order to test the con-
stitutionality of the act and to restore to
liberty a prisoner alleged to be held
under it. But the act of June 6 does not
apply here No one is restrained of his
liberty under that act. never issued an
order authorizing his holding under the
act of June 6, Now the proceedings ask
ing writ of habeas corpus have been re-
fused, an appeal taken. and an order is
sued by Judge Wallace remanding the
prisoner. don't know upon what in-
formation judge WALLACE acted. Nor
can I see what else can happen to the APP
peal when It reached the United States
supreme court except that they will dis
miss 1t as being brought upon INSULT
cient grounds. Habeas corpus cannot
be availod of under the act until some
proceedings arc held under the act. And
/ have been careful all along to allow the
order of arrest in tho civil suit to stand {,
and not to attempt to put him under the
provisions of the new act"
Judge Lacombe said he did not want
to sign papers dismissing the old charges
and leaving tho prisoner held only on the
remaining order Of Judge Wallace.
In conclusion Judge Lacombe said
81 certainly shall not take any action

or another state. it matters not
which, prisoner who is held here under

action, until such action shall have been

beginning. / shall not allow the pris-
oner to be remanded until we have got
through with him. shall assent to no
proposition that will take prisoners out
Of the jurisdiction of this conrt at the
call Of any tribunal on earth"
Judge Lacombe then advised Marshal
Henkel to keep the prisoner in custody
under the civil order, or under judge
Wallaee's order, as he chose, and advise
with the district attorney about that.
The government was given until next
Monday to decide what further action
they win take in the matter.

constantly and as o result, The officials
had the satisfaction of knowing late in
the day that the position of the United
States had the approval and support of
all the great powers. While this had
not been expressed in any formal man
ner by all the parties, yet the exchanges
in the chancellories OF Europe and
through the foreign representatives in

provaI of the course of this government.
