D CASE SETTLED.
Decision by Judge Rolapp Is At
hrmed.

Chief Justice Bartch dissents from
his brethren on the supreme bench as
to an opinion on a writ of certiorari
in the caS of Lars Hansen VS.. a. j.
Anderson and Judge Rolapp of the Sec
ond district court, which was handed
down yesterday.
It appears from the petition and aft
davit Of the appellant that Anderson,
one of the defendants, brought an ac-
ton against the plaintiff in a justice Of
the peace court in Weber county, and
subsequently appealed the case to the
district court for the county. Anderson
deposited SIS with the justice, in lieu of
filing an appeal bond, which was the
amount of the Judgment for costs
against him. Hansen moved that the
district court dismiss the appeal on the
ground of failure to file an appeal bond.
The district court Overruled the motion
and a verdict was returned against
Hansen, who then filed his petition in
the supreme court and an order to
show cause was then issued eX parte.
Defendants demurred. holding that the
district court had ruled within its jul
riSdictiOn, and that the supreme court
had no jurisdiction to issue the writ nor
to hear and determine it, and they filed
a motion to quash the writ and the Or
Ger 10 SHOW CduSG-
The opinion of the supreme court is
written by Judge McCarty, who says
that there are two questions presented
by the pl~eadings; first, as to the courts
Jurisdiction to review by writ Of GER
tiorari the decision of the district court
rendered in cases appealed from JUS
tees of the peace when the district
courts have exceeded their jurisdiction
in such cases.
Second. as to whether the district
court in the case at bar exceeded its
jurisdiction by overruling the motion
to dismiss the appeal and in proceeding
to try the case. The constitution of the
state of Utah provides that the SUI
preme court has original jurisdiction to
issue writs of certiorari. This provision
invests this court with the general COM
mon law powers heretofore exercised
by the courts Of general jurisdiction
over inferior, courts to review by GER
tiorari the proceedings of inferior tri-
bunals. We are of opinion that the dis
trict court did not exceed it's jurisdic-
ton in the trial of this case, and there
fore the motion to quash the writ must
prevail. and it is so ordered.
Judge Bartch basis his dissent on the
ground that the supreme court is
powerless to review by certioraTi or ap-
peal a decision Of a district court in a
case appealed from a justice of the
peace court. and considers that the
writ in this case ought to ave been
denied.

A ON PHILIPPINES.
The Major Gives Another Interesting
Lecture.

Major T. A. Grant gave an interesting
lecture on the Philippines at the Tiff
Methodist church last night. The lee
ture was illustrated by w a hundred
handsome s~tereopticOn views. The pic
lures started in with the leaving of the
battery boys from Salt Lake City. The
next scenes were at the Preside, San
Francisco.
Then came the embarkation IN the
transport. After this came many scene
in Honolulu. The next pictures shown
were Of various parts of Manila. Major
Grant told of many interesting domes-
tic features with regard TO ways of liv-
ing of the F1lipinos. lie described the
palace at Manila, a handsome structure
in which is the supreme court of LuZOn
with a life size picture Of the queen of
Spain suspended over the judges bench.
a singular feature of the palace is that
it has carpets on the floors.
1t is 4 very rare thing to see as much
as a rug on the floors of the houses of
even the upper classes OF Filipinos.
The most peculiar feature of the houses
is that you drive fight into them, the
lower floor being entirely occupied as
a stable. From this a grand stairway.
generally of marble, leads to the living
rooms above. The windows are of a
clear shell-like substance, resembling
mica. Glass would not withstand the
frequent earthquake shocks.
For the same reason the walls of the
houses are covered with canvas in
place Of plaster. The houses of the
poorer classes are built on poless and
have interstices in the floors. The
! ground floors are generally devoted to
chickens, and the scraps from the meals
are swept through these cracks and fall
to the chickens below.
The caskos, or native boats, said the
major, are built of mahogany and rose
wood, and are very fast ~sailers. Many
other features of interest were de-
scribed. and finally the return voyage
to the United States by way of Maya
saki in Japan, in which harbor, at the
time the troop ship was coaling there.
were warships representing most Of the
] nations of the world.

Opinion in Transfer Case.

Omaha, April 9.-Judge Thayer of the
United States circuit court filed an
opinion today in the case brought by
the Omaha g. st. Louis road to compel
the Burlington to accept a consignment
Of freight from a point east of Chicago
for delivery on the line of the Burling-
ton & Missouri River in Nebraska. The
Burlington contended that it was enti-
tied to have the freight delivered to it
at Chicago. The court holds that the
Burlington must receive the freight at
Council Bluffs without compelling the
transfer to Burlington cars, but orders
that the connecting road shall not
charge wheelage on the car from point
of delivery to destination.
