orators on the Gulf, Colorado and San

said to be union men. OF the 800 mem
bers of the union. 800 IT is stated, re-

about one-half of Its men at work.
The officials of the road declare that
under no circumstances will they yield
to the strikers and that none of them
will ever again be allowed to work for
the company in any capacity.
The operators on the main line of
the Atchison system demanded some
weeks ago an increase in pay and some
changes in rules. The negotiations
with the company had reached an
acute stage when the company con-
coded the demands of the men and the
trouble was averted. The new order
of things did not prevail on the Gulf,
ators there demanded an increase OF
pay amounting, it is stated to approx
imately $500 per annum for each man
and alterations in the rules, whereby
men were compelled to act as tele-
graph operators and station agents
also. The demand was refused ana
the men went out. Tonight the men

pathy.

AGAINST YANKEE WATCHES.

ywiss watch,nakers Combining to Fight
American Competition.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The Swiss
'watchmakers are combining to protect
themselves from American competition.
Prizes are being offered to develop inn
provements in the Swiss watch that
will tend to maintain it's reputation.
Consul General Dubois at St. Gall, in
reporting on this matter, adds that the
American watch case is also having a
field day in the Gland of watches" to
such degree that the Swiss are max
ing a general movement to prevent, or
modify at least, the importation. To
demonstrate the growth of American
trade the consul general says that one
can now buy American watches IL
Bernie, American ham and bacon in
Basic and that Swiss horses sleep or
American straw, American hardware
fills the shop windows, American shoes
are in popular demand and everywhere
are striking evidences of the increased
export of American wares.

The Judge all Right.

w. w. Germane in Minneapolis
Journal, under Washington date OF
March %, says:
Judge Morris feels very good since
returning from Minnesota, and is talk
ing to his fellow members not only
about denomination practically with
out opposition, but by election by at
least 1000 majority. The judge is set
ting his mark rather high. which is the
right and proper thing. Not only did
the Sixth district gentleman tell his
Washington friends that he had fixed
things all right in his own district, but
/ understand that he said also that if
he could have spent two or three days
in Minneapolis he would have been
able to straighten out the kinks there
likewise. Judge Morris is one of the
most popular men in congress, and
has host of warm friends and ardent
admirers, who like him for what he is
and for the good that is in him.

UNCoNsTITUTIONALITY CLAIMED.

Provisional Court of Porto Rico Attacked
in Federal Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Attorney
Frederick D. Kenny has filed petition
for writs of habeas corpus and certiorari
in the United States supreme court in
case which is expected to decide the un-
constitutionality of the provisional court
established by the military authorities
of Porto Rico.
The case is that of Ramon Baez Of
that island who is serving a term at
hard labor on the charge Of voting ille-
gally at the municipal election held at
Guayama last October. The Baez case
is one Of thirty-two, but he is the only
person actually undergoing punishment
for the ofense charged, sentence in the
other cases having been stayed by agree.
ment pending the appeal in the Baez
case.
Court without Jurisdiction.
In his petition Mr.. Kenny takes the
position that the provisional court was
without jurisdiction to try and convict
the prisoner, saying: "He was held to
answer for an infamous crime and was
convicted thereof, and is now restrained
Of his liberty and confined at hard labor
without presentment or Indictment Of
grand jury previously returned
against him-this not being case aris-
ing in the land or naval forces, or in
actual military service either in time of
war or public danger. The ordinary
civil courts Of the territory, wherein he
was resident were open and exercising
their ordinary jurisdiction, and therein
he should have been tried if at all
Deprived Of His Liberty.
"He was and is deprived of his lib
erty without due process of law.
..He did not enjoy the right to trial
by an impartial jury Of the district
wherein the crime was committed.
''He was tried and convicted Of an
offense unknown to the law Of the znd
wherein he was resident"
ALI this is leld to be in controversies
Of the constitution of the United States,
which is: The Constitution of tire
United States is the supreme law Of the
land, of 'sthat land which comprehends
territories ss wen as states-territories
outlying and newly acquired as well IS
those Of older acquisition and more
near approach- The sovereignty Of the
United States lis eo-extensive with it's
territory As broad and long as thst
territory may be or may become, the
constitution with the capsciOus folds
ever envelopes it, and wheues0ever the
constitution doth prevail the jurisdic-
ton Of this court extends to- prevent;
oppression and maintain the guaranty
of personal rights, liberties. and mmun-
titles against the exercise Of despotic
power"
The court took the application under
adxisemept.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Lieutenant
M. s. Bateson, Fourth cavalry, who
achieved distinction in the Philippines
during the active campaigns of last
summer while in command of the re-
doubtable Macabebe scouts, has just
arrived in this city on sick leave of alb

tered by bullet, the result of close
pursuit of body of fleeing insurgents.
The employment of the native Maca-
bebes as American scouts was due to

He organized company of about 200
of these hardy natives and did excellent
service with them as advance guards of
the troops which penetrated the north
