SUPREME COURT REPORTS.
Bill for Further distribution of The
Documents Recommended.


The Committee on the Judiciary Of the
House of Representatives has recommend
ed the passage OF the bill to provide for
the further distribution OF the Reports Of
the Supreme Court
The committee in its report says. "The
Government in the transaction OF its busi-
ness is penny wise and pound foolish
when it fails TO provide its officers with
those books absolutely essential to the
proper discharge OF their duties. The
Reports Of the Supreme Court OF the
United States ought 10 be at hand in every
Government building where United States
courts are held.
The judges cannot take the reports
with them when holding court. and it en-
tails vast expense TO suspend proceedings
and send out into the town or city for
such reports when required BY the judge
during the progress Of a trial. In the va
rious Departments of the Government at
Washington the public business is many
times seriously DELAYED because such re-
ports are not available for immediate con-
sultation and the same is true with the
Supreme Court of the United States The
members OF the House are familiar with
the fact that the absence of these reports
from some of the committee rooms delays
the work of the committees and frequently
puts the members TO great inconvenience.
In many cases provided for by this bill
the officers and departments have incom-
plete sets. and there is no provision of
law for filling them The growth of the
I business of the country and the increase
in the business at the Departments and
the Importance Of the decisions of our
highest court have become so great that
the provisions of iaw heretofore made do
! not meet the requirements.
The committee has added the prOvi-
1 sion providing twenty complete sets of
/ said reports for ;he use of the committees
( of the House for the reason that the ad-
J ditionaI expense is but slight compared
Z with the vast benefits that will be con-
7 ferred. The committee strikes out the
/ provision giving an additional set to each
! OF the Justices of the Supreme Court Of
/ the United States, as they express their
! willingness to have that done If furnished
with the other copies provided for their
use under the provisions of the bill.
"A proyiso is added that no distribution
shall be- made to any place where the
| court is not held in a building owned by
! the United States. In such places there
would be no place where such reports

Proceedings of the Conference at
WestH,inster.

WESTMINSTER, Md, April In the
Maryland Annual Conference of the Meth
odist Protestant Conference a resolution
offered by Rev. J. l.. Straughn was dis
cussed giving the president of the con-
ference authority and power to appoint
camp meeting ministerial officers and to
keep a proper observance of the Sabbath.
Rev. DR.. L. W. Bates stated that any
man requested TO preach at a camp meeting
should have no excuse short of paralysis,
and even in that event he should be con-
Quoted there
The observance of the Sabbath at camp
meetings was the cue for Rev. Dr. J. ].
Murray, who in a Characteristic way stat
ed that he was opposed to holding camp
meetings primarily for financial purposes
and that nothing would Justify such a
course. He was opposed to the sale Of
anything whatever on the Sabbath Day.
He spoke at length upon the modernized
camp meeting which had become largely
means of the Generalization of the com
munities in which they were held, in con-
trast TO the great good done in former
years at such gatherings.
Rev. S. b. Sutherland spoke in favor OF
the resolution. He stated that the presi-
dent should have discretionary power and
that If minister failed to comply with the
request of the president OF the confer
ence to preach at camp meeting he
should be brought to account before the
succeeding annual conference.
An amendment offered by Rev. j. L.
Mills to the effect that a minister shall
GO was not accepted, and the resolution
was finally referred to "a committee.
Rev. Walter K. Graham, chairman of the
committee on pulpit service. reported the
list of ministers assigned to various pull
pits on Sunday.
Rev. +. T. Tagg agent of the Twentieth
Century Thank Offering Fund, reported

The legislation is urgently requested by

Ing the Tsngle.

Ing the tbhEie.
MORGANTOwN. w. Va. April THE
board of regents of the West Virginia Uni
versity practically adjourned without set
thing the tangIe between President Ray
mond and members OF the faculty. The
whole matter was carried over until the
June meeting. That part OF 1t relating to
the charges against members of the
faculty was placed in the hands Of a
committee consisting OF Mr. Brown, Mr..
Mcmahon and Mr.. Sturgess. The com
mittee will further investigate the charges
and report to a meeting OF the board in
June. President Raymonds resignation,
which was rendered last night, was not
acted on definitely. according to the best
authority. The regents will not talk about
it, and what gets out has to be through
the confidential friends medium. One Of
them stated Raymond's resignation had
been accepted. to take effect in June, but
two others say this is not the case and
that the resignation was laid on the table
until the June meeting.
One of the best known members Of the
board when asked to summarize the situa
tion said that the disturbing factions
would be removed and that a new presi-
dent would be at the head of the institu
ton next year He said the case Of in
subordination made out by Raymond had
been sustained, but that the whole case
was rendered fatally weak by coupling
with these charges the charges of incom-
potency. He thought it would be a good
thing for the institution to rid itself Of
both factions, as was done IN the case OF
President Turner. He further said the
board had the highest regard for the I'M
tiring industry and the great executive
abilities of President Raymond. but that
they deplored his lack of tact This def
ciercy. he said. endangered his usefulness
to the school regardless OF the merits Of

FACTS from SECRETARY ROOT.
d. Statement Regarding in.Hni'y and
Suicides in the Navy.

Secretary Root has had prepared state
ment replying to Senator Aliens lesolu-
ticn asking Tor information in regard TO
the insane soldiers in the Philippines and
suicides among the troops. The state
nent is intended to disprove the many
charges about a large percentage Of insane
and suicide cases. 1t shows smaller rate
CT insanity among the troops in the Philip
pines than in the Regular Army for ten
years. It says that from late in July.
IS9S to March 20. 1900, fifty-tve cases OF
insanity have been reported from the
Philippine Islands. The statement eX-
plains that during this period, taking into
consideration the changes in the aggre-
gate force under General Otis, the mean
strength was 32 0e0 men. Based en- this
strength the rate of insanity for twelve
months was 31.3 cases. The mean strength
OF the Regular Army for The ten years
ending July. 1898. was $4,000 men with a
rate OF insanity Of 33.l.
As 10 suicides the statement shows seven
officers and twenty-five enlisted men,
committing suicide in the Philippines be-
tween April Il. 1899. and March p. 1900
The data on this subject is dated from the
ending of the war with Spain and the
mean strength of the army in the Philip
pines-from that time to March =. l9oo. Is
given as AZ 500. Based on these figures
the rate of suicide is reported as 3o.1 for
the year, Oh about "a per thousand. 1t
is explained that in the Regular Army
for ten years. with mean strength of
% 900 men. the rate of suicide was 1874,
or about 63 per thousand. Another COM
parison is shown by the table showing the
number Of cases each year in the Regu-
lar Army.

% suicides: 1892. 26. 600 men, % suicides.
and 1898. 22 suicides among 2700O men.
The conclusion is drawn in the statement
that the war spirit and the placing in
operation OF an army OF 63,o00 men has rot
increased either the insanity or suicide
