j. c. w. Beckham 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 assembly's de-
clslon, which was favorable to Goebel and
Beckham, except to a tribunal of the peo-
pie, which tribunal, the chief Justice said,
was always in session.
He also said the case was purely state
case-that Kentucky was in full possess
sion of its faculties as a 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.

Secretary Long has relieved Commander
G. c. Todd from duty as photographer

representatives, to take the work of ocean

to relieve his record of the stigma now
