j. &. w. Beck ham Governor.

Washington, May 22.-The Kentucky
governorship case has been decided by the
United States supreme court in the in
terest OF Beckham, affirming the decision
of the Kentucky court of appeals.
The opinion was handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller and the case dismissed for
want of jurisdiction, and the opinion that
the determination of cases of this char
acter of contests for state officers must
necessarily be settled by the political
branch of the government. That branch
had acted in the Kentucky case, when the
general assembly took jurisdiction. There
was no appeal from the assemblys de-
cision, which was favorable to Goebel and
Beckham, except to a tribunal of the peo-
pie, which tribunal, the chief justice sa id
was always in session.
He also said the case was purely state
case-that Kentucky was in full posses
sion of its faculties as member of the
Union, and there was no emergency which
called for interference.
The opinion was not unanimous, some
of the justices dissenting. Justices
Brewster, Harlan and Mckenna were the
dissenting justices.

tary Cortelyou.

a variety Of subjects The Beers talked
about Washington; told how they ad-
mired the city and the president escort
ed them to the porch at the rear of the
executive mansion, where splendid view
is obtained of the monument and the Po-
tomac river.
President Kruger was finally mentioned
and the visitors then stated theft purpose
in coming to this country. They srid
they understood that what Secretary Hay
told them was final and that the position
OF the United States was that this country
could not interfere in the struggle in
South Africa
The president confirmed this view. He
said the action he took some time ago
twhen, at the request of the Tmnsvaal
government, he had Offered his good offices
to England to bring about peace) he did
with great pleasure in the hope that it
might possibly bring the conflict to an
end. This offer had been declined by
Great Britain, and he said there was moth
ing further which the United States could
do in the premises.
The ENJOYS intmated they We're glad
to feel they had friends in this country,
and then bade the president good-by

and the eye doctor was about to close

rushed in with small package neatly
tied up in tissue paper, and which

note was attached:
