Washington, Nov. l3.-ln the u. 5.

rendered the opinion OF the court In
the case of Gilmore s. Scranton VS.

Improvements made for the purpose of
improving navigation a pier erected
at st. Mary's Falls. Mich, cut on
Scranton's access TO the river. The
Michigan court declued against Scran'
ton and today opinion confirmed that
decision. In delivering the opinion,
Justice Harlan said: THE vital ques.
ton is whether the constitutional in.
hibition upon the taking of private
property for public use without just
compensation is applicable. OF course
every part of the constitution is bind
ing upon congress as upon the people.
The guarantees prescribed by It for
the security of private property must
be Respected by all. But whether navi-
cation upon waters over which con-
gress may exert it's authority requires
improvement at all or Improvement
in a particular way, are matters Who'll
ly within its discretion; and the judic-
iary is without power to control or de-
feat the will of congress so long as
that ranch of the government does
not transcend the limits established
by the supreme law of the land"
The opinion held that the broad
power with which congress is invested
is not burdened with the condition
that a riparian owner, whose land Dor
GERS upon a navigable stream OF the
u. S. shall be compensated for his
right of access to the navigable part
of such river whenever such right
ceases to De of value solely in con-
sequence of the Improvement of navi
cation by piers that rest upon sub
merged lands away from the shors
line. al he primary use of the waters
and the lands under them" says the
opinion, is for purposes of navigation
and the erection of riers in them to
improve navigation for the public J.
entirely consistent with such use, and
infringes no right of the riparian own
er. In our opinion it was not intend
eu by the trainers of the constitution
that the paramount authority of con
gress to improve the navigation of the
public navigable waters of the u. S.
should be crippled by compelling the
government to make compensation
for the injury that might indirectly
result from an improvement to an
riparian owner right of access to navi.
gability."
A dissenting opinion was delivered
by Justice Shiras and concurred in by
Justices Gray and Peckham.

REPRESENTATIVES, IN CONGRESS-
Some Changes I'm Numbers Result
Ing From Census Figures.


Washington, Nov. 14-Dlrector OF
he Census Merriam was at the White
House Tuesday. He called the atten-
ton OF the president 10 the fact that
the figures on the population of the
United States, he total OF which al
ready had been announced. are in such
shape that they will be at the disposal
of congress when IL meets for any ac-
ton IL may desire TO take in the direc-
ton OF temperament bill. The reap
portionment following the count of the
twelfth census will become operative
by law I'm 1903.
There probably will be consider
able increase both In the ratio and the
total number OF representatives under
the new appOrtlonment. Starting with
a ratio of one TO every 10000 inhabi-
tants there were O. representatives in
the first congress. The eleventh census
I'm 1890 gave a population of 62,622.
$50. or an increase OF 12.500000. The
ratio was 173.901 people to each rep
resentative and the house numbered
356 members. The ratio under the new
census probably will reach 100000.
With an increase of 13 3D.. AGA shown
by the present census and letting ma
jority fractions Of the apportionment
count 70 an additional member, as has
been the custom. this would make an
increase Of Is members i'm the next
house. Reapportionment on this basis
would cause only four states to lose
representatives. They are Maine and
Virginia in the east and Kansas and
Nebraska in the west. These states
would lose one member each. ANY
ratio smaller than 100000 which would
save them their full representation
would cause considerable addition to
the membership of the house.

AN INTERESTING CASE
Affecting the Pay of All Officers in
the Army and Navy.

Washington, Nov, 13.-Alfred Lee
Royce, a chaplain in the navy, has
brought an action in the court of
claims based upon a construction OF
the naval personnel bill for $500
back pay, which If decided in his favor
would result in the payment of con.
siderable back pay to all officers and
warrant officers of the navy appointed
from civil life. The action is based
upon the clause in the personnel act
providing that "all officers, including
warrant officers, who have or may be
appointed from civil life shall on the
date of their appointment De credited
for computing their pay with five
years service
A chaplain in the navy ranks as
a lieutenant. His longevity pay as
well as that of all officers does not
begin until the end of five years SER
vice. In the case of Royce, who was
appointed in 1851, IL would amount to
$500 per year for five years. If his
claim Is good all other officers, sur
geons, paymasters, ETC., as well as
warrant officers have a claim for longe.
witty pay from the date of their en-
trance into the service. Controller of
the Treasury Tracewell has given an
opinion against the validity of Royce S
claim, contending that the intent of
the law was only TO give the allowance
TO officers who have not been in the
service long enough to begin to re.
ceive longevity pay.

the state convention of the middle-of-

the fusion populist state committee,
says he has positive proof that the
tickets were procured at the instance
of the republican state committee and
distributed in the hope that the mid
dle-of-the-road movement would gain
sufficient strength among the popu-
lists to take Nebraska out of the
Bryan column. 1t is stated that the
determination of the fusionists to
prosecute has the sanction of Bryan,
who is said to have advised the COM
mittees that the case should be
pushed.

Washington, July 23.-At the war
department it is said that the an
nouncement that the United States
authority is to be withdrawn from
Cuba on May 1 of next year is incOr-

The length of time required for the
convention to complete its work is a
matter of conjecture, but it is believed
that a constitution can be agreed
upon by the first of the year.
The question as to whether congress
will pass upon the constitution after
it has been formulated will have been
determined by that time. 1t is still
believed that Cuba should be a free
country in eight or nine months.
Whenever the government of the
island is turned over to the people
it is insisted that this government Will
somewhere have an agreement that

the ensuing hostile altitude of the
