REQUIRES ACT OF CONGRESS-.
MIR. Richards Spys Constitution Does
Not Extend Over Porto Rico.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Solicitor Cen
eral Richards. of the Department of JUS

Court, which fixes the attitude of this gov

two months Imprisonment for illegal vot-
ing at a municipal election held under the
military order. The prayer is that the writ
of habeas corpus be directed to Samuel

court at Humacoa, Porto Rico, command
ing him to produce Baez before the SUI
preme Court and that the writ of cert:o-
rari issue to the provisional court of Porto

NEW YORK, April both houses of the
Legislature have passed a bill providing
for the purchase of a portion of the Alex
ander Hamilton estate on St. Nicholas
Heights, in this city. I'm order to preserve
the famous Hamilton trees. George Wash
ington. at Mount Vernon, gave to Alex
ander Hamilton thirteen tiny sweetgum
trees to be planted on Hamilton's farm
on Manhattan island in memory of the
thirteen colonies. The trees were brought
TO New York lin Hamilton's carriage when
he drove home from Virginia. They were
planted and grew. but the space given
them was too small and the trees crowded
one another. Within the past few years
most of the trees have died and those that
survive are not healthy. Last year the
land on which they stood at Convent ave-
nue. and Northumberland rty-second
street was sold. and the purchaser an
nounced his intention of cutting down the
trees to make room for a house. This
reused protest which influenced the
Legislature. The grange i'm which Hamil-
ton died after the duel with Burr has been
preserved. having been purchased by a
church. The building will be removed to
the ground near the trees.

SEYMOUR, Ind. April 4.--The refusal OF
the nine delegates selected at the Demo-
cratic mass convention held at Browns
town last Saturday to abide by the instruc-
tons of the convention and cast the vote
of the county unit for John overmyer
for representative has caused the Over
myer organs much uneasiness- An at
tempt has been made to force these dele
gates into line. but they are the leading
Dmocratic politicians i'm the county and
have the party machinery under their con-
troll Insteadio of driving the delegates into
line the breach has widened. and to-day
the anti-Overmyer men claim that instead
of nine there are now ten delegates who
will refuse to vote for Overmyer under
any circumstances The delegates I'm this
city who refuse to be gagged represent
two-thirds of the voters In the primary.
The other delegates. who will vote for Crit
fth. represent 90 per cent. of the votes cast
in their townships.
One of the delegates. in speaking of the
matter to-day, said: When the rules gov
erning the primary were adopted and pub
lished an open letter was addressed TO the
chairman of the Democratic county COM
mittee asking for a construction of the
rules as to whether they meant that the
person getting a majority Of the votes in
the county should have the entire delega-
ton or be apportioned according 10 the
votes each of the candidates received. The
chairman would not construe the rules, and
now IL is claimed that the rules were drawn
by the friends Of Overmyer to be con-
strued to mean that, IL Griffith carried the
county, the vote was to be apportioned,
but IL Overmyer won he was to receive
the entire vote. The carrying out of this
programme was made possible by holding
the convention in strong Overmyer
township. where the convention hall could
be packed by the friends Of Overmyer.
This was the case when the resolution was
passed (which was after the delegates had
been selected) instructing the delegates 20
vote for the North Vernon lawyer. Crit

leave the hall in order to reach the train
