WASHINGTON, May H.-Mr Gardner,

No. replied Mr.. Gardner "It would

Mr. Lentz Ohio, supported the bill. 1t
was as proper that state could take

GOV. BECKHAM TALKS.
Is Much Gratified at Decision of
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
FRANKFORT, KY, May n.-Gov.
Beckham gave out the following inter
view tonight:
II am, of course. very much gratified
at the decision of the supreme court I
never had any doubt as to what the de-
cision would be, because it seemed that
the proposition of law before them was
SO clear that no court could take any
other course than that of the supreme
court. 1t has been a great victory 1t ia
a triumph Of law and order over laWless-
ness, and a victory which Mr.. Goebel
and myself won in November at the
polls by a majority of the legal votes
cast in that election, a victory which
was ratified by the representa- tives of the
state in their general assembly, and
which was at last declared legal and
binding by the highest court in the land.
We have been patient and long-suffering,
but believe the result justifes our
course.
AS the governor of the commonwealth.
/ promise to be not only the representa-
tive Of a great party, but the chief ex-
ecuttve Of a great state. / shall be as
liberal and as broad minded as possible
in administering the affairs of the state
and my highest ambition shall be to re-
store q perfect respect for law and order
throughout the bounds of the state This
decision brings US face to face with an
other great state campaign, and I desire
to say that while the Republican party
has sought to make It's battle cry a plea
for civil liberty" on onr side we in
tend to make an earnest and aggressive
campaign, with our battle cry as a plea
for the protection of human life and
protest against the method of assassina-
ton in affairs of our state government.
We shall make no oulcTy about civil
liberty but we go before the good peo-
pie of Kentucky and ask them that they
support US in our efforts to establish law
and order in this state, and due respect
for the tribunals of justice"

Women and children are being sent in

the DAILY Mail correspondent mentioned
in Lord Roberts dispatch to the war Of
flee as dangerously wounded in the fight
with the Beers May 1S, sent his last mes
sage from Vryburg, May 9, per runner to
Kimberley, May II. He says:
THE flying mounted column secretly
and safely organized by Gen. Hunter
started from Barkly and arrived here to-
night, covering 130 miles in five days. 1t
is a grand force of mounted men, i'm
periaI light horse, from Ladysmith, the
Kimberley mounted corps, with royal
horse artillery and pom poms, and a Sc
lected body of infantry from the fusileer
brigade. A special equipment of light
springed mule transport completes this
splendid force.
THE force so equipped was enabled to
move with such rapidity that, although
this is difficult country, requiring Wig
liant scouting, the Beers were surprised
The column moved parallel with the
enemys- positions on the Vaal, at Roor-
dam and Fourteen Streams, actually get
ting behind them without firing shot
So close were we Sunday and Monday
that Gen. Hunter balloon was visible,
and his bombardment heard.
The route taken was between the VaaI
and the Hart rivers, then along the right
bank of the Dry Hart to point abreast
of Taungs, and thence to Pudimoe,
Roedeport~ and Vryburg."
UNDER SECRET ORDERS.
A correspondent with Gen. Hunter tele-
graphs as follows from Fourteen
Streams:
col Mahon's relieving column left
Barkly West under secret orders May
and reached Vryburg, May II. The Beers
marched on the right flank of the Brit
ish, and a strange race followed, Mahon
pressing towards Mafeking with the ut
most speed consistent with keeping the
force in condition, and the Beers hurry
ing paxallel in an effort to pass him and
to throw themselves across his path. The
Beers succeeded. He then turned west
during the night The Boers followed,
overlook and attacked him in the bush,
but were beaten off"
Then, as Lord Roberts wired, Col.
Mahon and Col. Plumer united forces at
Jamasibi, May IS, and Mafeking was re-
lieved three days later, under conditions
not yet known here"
A correspondent of the Daily Express
says:
''Gen. Hunter devised and guided the
relief, which was daringly executed by
Col Mahon"2
The last message from Col. Mahon's
column before the relief was dated at

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May M.-The re-
QUESTION papers were issued by Gov.
Beckham, of Kentucky Immediately
upon the receipt of the news of the de-
cision of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. They were ;intrusted to the
care of z. T. Thomasson,- a police Of
ficer of Frankfort. He arrived in the
city at o'clock this evening, and went
to police headquarters. In company with
Detective Holtz, he waited upon the gov
ernor, who was at supper, and kept them
waiting in the lobby of the Denison hotel
for an hour before he would see them.
The official papers borne by Officer
ThOmasson consisted OF the requisition,
which bore the official seal of the state,
ana were all regular in form; the af-
tldaV1ts signed by the prosecuting attor
ney of Franklin county, KY, charging

which charges conspiracy with Caleb

QUESTION was written on the back of the
requisition papers, and was as follows
THE within application for the extra
dition of Charles Finley is hereby refus-

After 1t became known that Charles
Finley had been arrested and lodged IN
jail, state officers and the chairman and
secretary of the Republican state central
committee held meeting at the DenisOn
hotel, and sent representatives to Gov
Mount. In a short time fhe announce
ment came that Coy. Mount refused to
honor the requistion.
When Gov. Mount was handed the re-
QUESTION, he asked to be shown the
Indictment.
What was the complexion politically
of the grand jury that found this in
dictment?" he asked. Thomasson replied
that he did not know.
"Were not all the members Democrats,
but two?" the governor asked. He was
given the same reply, after which the
governor said very emphatically:

DISSENTING VIEWS.

After the chief justice had concluded.
Justices McKenna, Brewer and Harlan
read opinions dissenting from the opinion
of the court, Justice Harlan entirely, and
the others on certain points. Justice
Harlan, in his dissent, quoted various
authorities, and then said:
Notwithstanding these adjudica tions.
the decision today is that this court has
10 jurisdiction to inquire whether the
citizen has been deprived, without due
process of law, of an office held by him
under the constitution and laws of his
state. If the contest between the one
holding the office and the person seeking
to hold it is determinable by the legisla-
ture. in a prescribed mode, this court 1t
appears, cannot inquire whether that
mode was pursued and cannot interfere
for the protection of the incumbent, even
If the final action of the legislature was
consistent with the recognized principles
that belong to due process of law, and
not based in any degree on the evidence
taken in the contest. If the Kentucky
mode prescribed by the statutes of that
state and without appointing board of
contest composed of Its own members,
had by joint resolution simply declared
Goebel to be governor and especially If
such action had been held by the highest
court of the state to be conclusive, this
court, as we are informed, by the decision
just rendered, would be without juriSdic-
ton to protect the incumbent for the
reason as now adjudged, that the office
in dispute is not properly within the
fourteenth amendment. So that while we
may inquire whether the citizens land
or his mules have been taken from him
by the legislature or judicial authorities
of his state without due process of law
we may not inquire whether the legisla-
ture or judicial authorities of a state
have, without due process of law, ousted
one lawfully elected and holding the office
Of governor for a fixed term with a sal
ary which cannot be diminished during
such term, and put into his place one
whom the people have said should not ex-
ercise the authority appertaining to that
high position. When the fourteenth
amendment forbade any state from be

their contest with Japan, are well pre-

s%pondent: "The allied troops resumed
the attack upon the Chinese walled city

The run of the allies did immense
damage to the native city, causing many
large confagrations, and finally silenced
the majority of the enemy's guns stimuli
