ASSISTANT ATTORNEY.
Appointment Expected to Hasten
Street Extension Cases.

The attorney for the District Mr.. A. 3.
Duvall, has requested the Commissioners
to appoint Mr.. Arthur II. OConnor as an
additional attorney for the District, and it
is understood the appointment will be made
to date from the 4th instant. Mr.. OCon-
nor's appointment will be made under the
provisions Of the act recently approved
authorizing the Commissioners to employ
an assistant to the attorney for the Dis
trict to assist in or conduct the proceed
ings instituted for the condemnation of
land for the extension of streets.
1t was explained to the Commissioners
and Congress by Mr.. Duvall that the en-
ployment of such an assistant had become
absolutely necessary, because the many
and exacting duties falling upon him and
his regular assistants would either cause
him to slight such duties or those incident
to the street extension cases.
Upon Mr.. OConnOr's appointment 1t Is
the purpose of the attorney to push the
street extension cases to early a COM
pletion as possible, it being understood that
the first one to be taken up will be the one
instituted for the extension of 10th street
to the District.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
ReaSsemblinE of the Tribunal After
the Holiday Recess.

The United States Supreme Court reas
sembled today after the holiday recess and
decided number of cases involving the
right of the state of Mississippi to tax
railroads in that state. The roads involved
were the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad Company and the Illinois Central.
In the general proceedings against the
Yazoo railroad the court held in an opin-
not exempt from taxation. The decision i'll
the Illinois Central case was to the effect
that the cases involve a federal question.
The federal circuit court for Mississippi
was reversed on this point.
An opinion was handed down in several
cases involving the right of the Secretary
Of the Interior to withdraw indemnity
lands along the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company. The opinion was hand
ed down by Justice Harlan. and sustained
the practice of the Interior Department
since 1883 of not making Withdrawals OF
lands liable to become parts of the grant.
The argument in the Porto Rican cases
involving the question of the legality of
duties imposed by this country on goods
shipped from the United States to Porto
Rico and from Porto Rico to the Unit ed
States. did not begin today, as other cases
preceding had the effect of postponing it
until tomorrow. Upon suggestion the court
awarded five hours to each side of the
controversy.
Mr.. Carlisle stated that these cases in
vclved the double question of the power Of
the United States to levy duty on goods
being shipped in both directions. the ques-
ton regarding the imposition of duties on
goods going into Porto Rico being entirely
new.
Attorney General Griggs stated that both
he and Solicitor General Richards would
appear in the argument of the consolidated
cases for the United States.

MAY NOT BE HANGED.
Efforts to Save Life of Charles McUin
Likely to Succeed.

Likely to Succeed.
Good reason exists for the belief that
Charles L. McUin will not be executed.
Mclin is under sentence to be hanged
at the District jail next Friday between
the hours of 12 o'clock noon and o'clock
pm. The mandate of the Court Of Appeals,
affirming the judgment Of the lower court
in connection with McUin's case. was re-
ceived this morning in Criminal Court No.
1. Justice Clabaugh thereupon directed
that the warrant Of execution issue. Not
withstanding this advanced stage Of the
proceedings against him, however, friends
of the condemned man and others familiar
with the cause are firmly Of the opinion
that executive clemency will be extended
and that the sentence OF death will be COM
muted to imprisonment for life.
Attorney T. l.. Jeffords counsel for the
condemned man. together with friends of
the latter. and also several witnesses who
testified at the trial for the prosecution,
have been making efforts of the most Wig
orous type to save the life of the murderer.
Reports relative to the application for clem-
ency will be forwarded this evening to the
Department of Justice by Justice Clabaugh,
who presided at the trial, and by United
States Attorney Anderson. Both Justice
Clabaugh and United States Attorney An
derson today declined to give any intima-
ton as to the nature of their reports From
all that can be learned, though the suppo-
Sltlon Is gnat Dotn tne preS10ln8 justice ana

the death sentence be carried. into effect.
Neither will they recommend that the SEN
tence be commuted. In other words, it Is

such manner as to place the case before the
President in such way that he will be
able to act as his personal Judgment may
dictate, and will not be handicapped by rec
concentrations. one way or the other, from
the trial officials.
1t is learned that in the event reports not
embracing recommended tiens from the trial
justice and the prosecuting attorney are
| submitted, the President is apt to be in
| fiuenced by the fact, as stated, that eleven
of the twelve jurors who sat during the
McUin trial have signed spetition re-
questing that the sentence be commuted.
Several Cf the witnesses whose testimony
was strong against him, also ask for
mercy in behalf of the prisoner. It is fur
ther declared to be u fact that McUin is
now in condition, physically and men,
tally, much different from what 1t was 1T
| the time OF the trial. The President is ex-
pected to act in the matter Wednesday or
early Thursday. --@

Secretary Root says that he does not in

the charges filed by him against Col. Heis-
tard of the adjutant generals department
of an alleged improper completely in a COM

charges had been referred to Col. Heistand
for an official explanation, and that no fur
ther action would be taken by the depart
ment until the officer has been heard from.
Secretary Root said that while 1t might be
true that the letter dismissing Hawkes.
from the position to which he was appoint
ed in the Philippines custom service was
actually dated before his arrival at his
post. that circumstance did not alter the
fact that Hawkes. was dismissed because it
was felt that he had acted improperly in
the matter Of the alleged hemp combina-
ton. and was not considered suitable per-
son for public office.

precedent in the department for granting a

HAY-PAUNCEFORTE TREATY
BELIEF THAT GREAT BRITAIN WILL
ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS.
Effect of the Delay in Action on the
Nicaragua Canal
Bill.

AS far as known by members of the Sem
ate most interested in the matter no init
nation has been received of the probable
action of Great Britain on the amended
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. There Is dispo-
sition among senators to assume that Great
Britain will accept the amendments and
that this action will be taken within rea-
sonably short time Great Britain might
claim the privilege Of as much time for the
consideration Of the new proposition as was
consumed by the Senate in coming to
conclusion as to the main proposition. She
would probably gain nothing by this, how
ever. and whatever action is to be taken
by her would be rendered more impressive
by promptness. If the amended treaty Is
TO be rejected promptness would render
that action more decisive; If it Is to be ac-
cepted nothing. apparently, would be gain
ed by delay
Eject on Nicaragua Canal BiiI.
The possibility Of the passage of the Me
aragua canal bill at this session depends
largely upon how promptly the treaty is
acted on 1t may be that this bill will not
be disposed of at this session even if the
fate of the treaty should be concluded in
time; but it is very generally conceded that.
pending action by Great Britain upon the
treaty, the canal matter cannot be pro-
ceeded with without dtscourtesy TO Great
Britain 1t is suggested that had the
treaty been actually rejected by the Ser :
ate the canal project might have been pro
ceeded with, it might have been, OF
course had the treaty been ratified; but
inasmuch as We have asked Great Britain
to consent to certain things and are await
ing her reply, we cannot well go ahead
with the matter until her reply has been
received. L.
This view of the situation is understood
to be held by the administration and to be
very generally accepted in the Senate.
Therefore the prospects of the canal bill
being passed at this session are now re-
garded as remote unless the fate of the
treaty is speedily announced.
Ship Subsidy Bill's Prospects.
1t is said this morning by some who have
heretofore doubted that the ship subsidy
bill could be got through at this session
that the prospects of that measure have
been greatly improved by the acceptance by
its friends of amendments that have been
suggested and that the bill may eventually
get through.
