APPEALS TO COURT
MAYORALTY CONTEST CASE IS
APPEALED TO THE COURTS.
L. l. MaIey Declines to Abide by the Re-.
count Of the City Council, and Makes
Application to the Superior Court for a
Writ Of Review. Argued Tuesday.

As predicted by the HERALD last week,
the recount of the vote for mayor made
by the city council will have to be con-
firmed by the courts before it will be
accepted by Mr.. Maley or his supporters,
and on Saturday, Attorney j. c. Gross,
counsel for Mr.. Maley, filed an affidavit
in the superior court, asking for writ OF
review of the proceedings of the city
council in this contest matter.
The affidavit would have been filed
sooner but for the absence from the
county of Judge Irwin. The document,
which is quite lengthy, recites the fact
that Maley was elected according to the
returns, and tells of the contest inaugu-
rated by MIR. Apstie; the recount made
against his protest by the council, which
resulted in recinding his certificate Of
elect and the declaration OF the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Anstie by majority of
four votes.
1t states further that the city council
was without jurisdiction IN the matter,
and its action irregular, illegal and void ;
that if the votes cast for Maley had been
so counted by the council it would have
shown his election, if the proceeding
was otherwise regular.
Upon the filing of this affidavit, the
court made an order citing the mayor
and city council to appear Tuesday and
show cause why writ Of review should
not issue, and that they had not exceeded
their jurisdiction and violated the law
by their action in the matter. Service
of this order was made upon the mayor
and council by Marshal Graham, Satur-
day night, and the cause came up for
hearing in the superior codrt Tuesday.
At the time appointed the case was
called, Attorney Cross appearing for Mr..
Maley, and Attorney Hogan for Mr..
.Anstie. Neither the mayor or CITY council
obeyed the summons to appear Tuesday,
and no attempt was made to show cause
why the writ OF review should not issue.
Judge Irwin ordered the writ issued, and
made it returnable on January 4, and
expressed his desire to secure, if possible,
Judge from another county to hear
the case.
This hearing will be practically an ap.
peal from the action Of the city council,
and will determine two questions. First,
whether the council did not exceed its
Jurisdiction in trying the contest and re.
counting the ballots. Second, if the
council had jurisdiction, whether its
action was regular and proper. OF course,
should it be found that the council acted
without jurisdiction, that will end the
matter. and Mr.. Maley will take his seat
as mayor on January Z. Should tie
contrary be decided, and the action Of the
council be found legal, then the manner
Of the proceeding that decided Mr.. Anstie
elected by majority of four votes will
be investigated, and the ballots that were
in dispute will be counted by the court,
for whosoever the Judge may decide they
were cast. Should the action Of the city
council be oserthrown the costs Of the
case will fall on the city.

Washington, Feb. ia report has
been received at the navy department
from Rear-Admiral Kempf, of The
Asatic station, who was sent from
Manila TO Guam to investigate the Ell
fects of the disastrous hurricane
few months ago. The report covers
details already made public and con-
cludes as follows:
SIN regard to the loss of the losem-
lite, the vessels bow appears to have
struck shoal spot while dragging

struck stern first. When the wind
shifted suddenly from north to east
the Yosemite swung around on her
stern as a pivot. The vessel drifted to
sea after losing ground tackle and
being blown off the reef near soumaye
bluff"
A later report in the shape OF let
ter. dated December H. 1890, from the
governor of Guam, reads as follows:
"The Island of Guam is doing as

building houses has diverted, for the
present, large amount of labor
