Distribution of Proceeds.

In reply to an inquiry from one of
the county attorneys, Assistant At
torney-General Somerby rendered an
opinion on the distribution of the pro-
ceeds of the. forfeited tax sale. The
proceeds, he says, are to be distrib-
uted pro rata to the several funds for
which taxes are levied, and the state
receives its proportionate share of the
proceeds, and no more. In some
quarters the opinion appeared to pre-
vail that the states claim is settled in
full before the county comes in for a
share. Both the attorney general
and the state auditor, however, agree
that the law is very clear.

 Resolved, that the press of the various counties of this territory be authorized and requested to organize into districts for the purpose of secu- ring legal rates for legal advertising aud especially for articles of incoTpur- poration.
 Resolved, That this association now desires to express its feeling of indig- nation concerning the treatmentgiyen the press and printers of Arizona in the Twentieth Legislative session; 1t is therefore unanimously resolved by this association that It's members sup port for office no candidate whatever his politics, who will not first pledge himself to deal fairly by the press aud who is not in hearty sympathy with the press of Arizona in their efforts toward the upbuilding of the terri. tory.
 It was moved and carried that it is | the sense of the association that the | press of Arizona be requested to publish all the resolutions passed by this association.

Complaint Against Inspector.

Mr.. John H. Magruder, engaged in bus-
ness at Connecticut avenue and NJ street.
has complained to the District Commits
soners that only after arguing with an
inspector from the office of the seaer OF
weights and measures the other day could
he induce such official to balance the scales
in his store. Mr.. Magruder says he found
his scales to be giving too much weight,
and that after the inspector had examined
and tested them he found them in the same
condition. He asked the inspector If he
did not intend to balance them, only to be
informed that it was not his (the inspec-
tor's) business The former sealer of
weights and measures. says MIR. Magruder.
always that scales were balanced, in
justice both to the buyer and seller.
Not to detain you any longer, wrote
Mr.. Magruder, "after my arguing with him
for a long time, the scales were adjusted.
This office now seems to be one of dignity.
Judging from the manner and actions OF the
inspector, who presented a bill for work
which, it appears to me, it was his duty to
perform
Mr. Magruder's complaint will probably
be referred by the Commissioners TO the
sealer of weights and measures, Mr.. W. {.

SUPREME COURT CONVENES
DISTINGUISHED LAWYERS WITNESS
ED THE FORMAL OPENING.
The Nicely Case. 1t is Thought, Will
he Brought Up Next Monday by
the Solicitor General.

The United States Supreme Court con-
vened today. All the members of the court
were present except Mr.. Justice Gray and
Mr.. Justice Mckenna, who are absent at
Virginia Springs. Attorney General Griggs
Solicitor General Richards, ex-Attorney
General Wayne McVeagh and number OF
other distinguished lawyers were present to
witness the formal opening of the court
Chief Justice Fuller announced that no mo-
tions except those for admission to practice
before the court would be entertained to-
day. but that the docket would be called
tomorrow About twenty lawyers from the
various states were admitted to practice
The session lasted only seven minutes.
The number of cases on the calendar at
the opening of the court today 437, 134
having been added during the recess.
This is twenty-three more cases tfsn
were upon the calendar at the opening of
the court year ago Next Monday Solicit
tor General Richards of the Department of
Justice will submit a motion relative to the
Nicely case now pending before the court
on an appeal from the decision of Judge
Wallace of New York, denying a writ Of
habeas corpus.
The motion probably will be to advance
the case. The Department of Justice is
very anxious to secure a decision upon the
main question involved, viz. the constitu-
tionality of the law under which it is pro-
posed to extradite Neely to Cuba. There is
grave danger, however, of dismissal of
the appeals owing to the difference of opin-
ion which prevails to the exact legal
status of Neely.
The application for writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Wallace was made
upon the theory that Nicely was then in the
custody of the United States marshal. un-
der process to be taken to Cuba, while
Judge Lacombe. before whom the original
proceedings took place, insists that Nicely
was not in the custody of the United States
marshal, but was held on an order of the
court in garnishee proceedings. If the Su-
preme Court decides that he was in the
custody of the United States marshal the
court will be in position to pass upon the
conStitutionality of the law and dispose of
the matter. If not, there is no case before
the court and the matter will have to be
dismissed.
Under recent act of Congress Solicitor
General Richards will move for the dis
mlssal of the suit brought against the
states of North Carolina. South Carolina.
Florida and Louisiana to recover the
amount of certain bonds issued by these
states and held by the United States The
bonds were issued before the civil war and
the controversy over them Is of long stand
ing The amount involved is over a mil
lion dollars The motion to dismiss will be
made in accordance with the specific direc-
ton of Congress
