TURKEY MUST RANSOM
AMERICAN MISSIONARY.
United States will Insist that Turkey Make
Good any Deficit and Refund American
Subscriptions.

"The United States Government will
insist that Turkey immediately make
good any deficit in the subscriptions
for the ransom of Miss Stone" says the
Constantinople correspondent Of the
London Daily Telegraph, land also re-
fund the full amount subscribed.
The London Daily News, in an edi-
torial upon the case of Miss Stone,
while sympathizing with the efforts in
her behalf, expresses the opinion that
the payment of such large ransom is
very questionable proceeding.
Turkey could easily stamp out brig
andage," says the Daily News, but so
long as nevolent foreigners will pay
high ransoms why should the Turks be
troubled?" 1t suggests that Miss
Stones letter is Just such document
as clever brigand chief would drop
into the American letter-box at the
present moment" and concludes by
remarking. "An army of brigands en-
dowed by American subscriptions will
not add to the tranquility of eastern
Europe"
The Russian Government has re-
peated it's expressions of desire TO
assist the United States Government
by all practical means in rescuing Miss
Stone.
The other powers are equally solic-
itous, but Russia is the best able to
bring the necessary pressure to bear.

Bawailans Are Dying RAPIDLY,

Henry E. Cooper, territorial secre-
tary, and for several months prior to
his departure for the United States,
acting governor of Hawaii, has dis
eussed with Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson the conditions in the territory.
One of the main aims of Mr.. Cooper's
trip here is to acquaint the administra-
tion with the actual condition in Ha-
waii. The natives are dying off rap
idly. the mortality being in the near
neighborhood of forty deaths to the
1000, and foreign laborers are getting
out of the country much mere rapidly
than they are coming in. The encour-
agement of Chinese labor, said he, ia
regarded as the most promising solu-
tion, and the territorial government is
anxious that large numbe of laborers
shall come in from China.

 Office Of Municipal Judge
INTO A COOKED HAT
City Council Wss Without Power to Create Such Office, but by Ordinance It Could Authorize a Justice of the Peace tO Ast as rlunicipaI Judge.


 Faity of Nome has been declared to be non existent. An opinion handed down OR Monday by Judge Wickershan, of r the district court, declares that the city council had no power to create the cffiee of municipal judge: hence all acts performed by Municipal Judge Stevens were entirely without warrant of law
 The opinion, which has thus over. turned a city office, was delivered in the case of Bruno Munro against the City Of Nome. Munro short time | ago made application for writ oi habeas corpus, to test the legality of his conviction by the municipal court for he violation of a city ordinance. The petition raised the question of the power of the town to provide a kmunieipaa court, and challenged its jurisdiction'and existence.
 The case was heard upon the allegations of the petitioner and sub- mitted upon briefs, one of which was furnished by R. N. Stevens, municipal judge. The ordinance creating the court and defining it's jurisdiction was passed and approved May l3 last. It was conceded that congress had not expressly granted the power to towns in Alaska to create such courts, and the. opinion states that, such being the case, i've are left to determine whether it is necessary to carry into effect those that are granted" and if such power is Lnecessary. then 4tthe aIaRment that it, .tdo, isgranted.by necessary implication may have some weight.
 The opinion then reviews in an exhaustive manner the powers pof the town council, and the real question is stated to be: 'Is- the existence of 8 municipal court necessaryto enable the town to carry into effect all the powers expressly granted to it by congress:
 Judge Wickersham holds tln.t since the judicial power in the territory is vested in the district and justices courts, and since that express power covers the whole range of jurisdiction and is ample to meet every require. aaent.impO,ed upon the judiciary with in the district, it cannot be necessary for the district court to sustain a doubtful and implied power in the com mon council to create new court and
 
 divide that jurisdiction. Headds: "Tt was clearly unnecessary for the council to create such court to enable it to carry into effect the powers especially conferred upon it by congress: the ordinance is void and the municipal court is without jurisdiction to fine and ilnprisOn for d violation of a municipal 0rdinance; the municipal court would be entirely independent of any appellate and such court has no place in the judiciary existing under the organic laws of Alaska.
 1t only. remains for the colnnan council to provide bN ordinance for the trial of such matters in the justice's court, and every requirement imposed hy the express powers is met and com piled with'and court provided with unquestioned jurisdiction, given by the very power which is created by the council"
