Transfer to the Philippines.


Rear Admiral Remey, who has been or
dered to command the Asiatic station, will
be succeeded in command of the Portsmouth
navy yard by Admiral Cromwell, now on
board duty in this city. 1t is the intention
to send Admiral Mccormick, at present at

ConstitutiOnaIity of a Gold Contract
Called in Question.


Mr.. Justice Brown, as circuit Justice of
the seventh circuit court, yesterday allowed
writ Of error to the Supreme Court of the
United States which will probably call out
an opinion On the validity of contracts
specifying payment in gold coin.
Inc case is that OF Eliza and George Dorr
against Amy Hunter. and It comes from the
supreme court of Illinois. 1t grows out of
promissory note for 81 500 given by the
DORIS TO Miss Hunter which called for
payment N gold coin. Default Icing made,
SUIT was brought and collection was re-
sisted en- the ground that the clause requr-
ing payment in geld was contrary both to
article i. section 10. paragraph /. of the
Federal Constitution and to the acts OF
February IS. 1SsS and July Il. 1850. The
declaration for parity in the act Of 1890

OriGin of "LobSfer. "

Boston is now engaged in the at
tempt to determine When the word
lobster was first applied to man as
a term of opprobrium. New York had
been satisfied for two years with the
explanation that the phrase was first
heard on the Gutenberg track, where
it was used to describe the quality Of
the horsehesh that took part in the
races there. 1t was the particularly
bad performance of one horse on
which a crowd of small bettors had
staked all their earnings that led to
the first use of the name by a dis
gusted sport. This explanation of the
words use has generally been &C
cepted by everybody, although more
erudite theories, suited better to B0s-
tons particular case, have recently
been forthcoming. John Adams, IN
his argument in defense of the British
soldiers on trial for murder because
of completely in the Boston Massa-
ere" mentions the word lobster as
one of the epithets applied by the citt-
zens to the soldiers. The use Of the
word lobster" as applied to a soldier
has also been shown by a Bostonian
interested in the subject to have been
found as far back as 1912, if not be,
fore that time. In the face of such
learned investigation. the GuttenburG
race track hypothesis seems to have
small chance of acceptance.

morally reassuring i'll the fact that
the acceptance of Mr.. ROckefeller's

course. no such issue would be eX-

were settled in respect to that insti-

10 a remarkable degree so far. In

that our government would not cease
from war for seven years. and that in

in a war with all the leading nations

when this war ended there would be

He further says that when the powers

turned toward each other, and a great
