Justice Potter, among an interesting
collection of timely legal matter, has
the following gem. 1t is an extract of
law which was in force in the colo
MES when the United States was gov
erned by the King of England, and it
says:
"Any person who shall, by means
of rouge or of blanc, or perfume, of
essences. of artificial teeth, of false
hair, of cotton espagnol, of steel
hoops or stays, of high heeled shoes
or of false hips, entice any of His
Majesty's male subjects into marriage
shall be prosecuted for sorcery and
the marriage shall be declared void
Right in this day and age, when
Dame Fashion has moreStricks in her
trade than ever before, such law
would be most interesting. To list
the beautiGers which the lady of fash
ion now possesses would require a
column of type and yet all these wiles
are permitted while in ye olden days
they we're forbidden. What a whole
sale annulliug of marriages would re-
suit we're the law re-enacted!

Conflicting Stories of the Result of
San CristObaI Fight.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The break in
the Venezuelan Cabinet. caused by the
resignation of Senior Pulido, the war min
ister caused considerable surprise in diplo-
matte circles here. The real situation ap-
parently is not understood. and especially
the proposition to deliver his passports to
Senior Rico, the Colombian minister. This
act ordinarily is regarded by diplomats as
tantamount to a casus belli, and officials
here are at a loss to understand the reason
for consideration of such a step as it is
said the relations of the governments of
Venezuela and Colombia are very friendly.
There appears TO be some inconsistency in
the reports of the battle which has taken
place near San Cristobal between the gov
ernment troops and the rebels, the dis
patches from Port of Spain declaring that
the government troops suffered defeat,
while telegram received at the VeneZue
Ian Legation here to-day from the consul
general of that country at New York an

CONSTITUTION in HAWAII
CIRCUIT JUDGE GEAR HOLDS THAT
III PRECEDED THE FLAG.
Decision by Which Murderers, Burg
lars and Other Criminals May He
Set Free at Honolulu.

HONOLULU, July &c. via San Francisco.
Aug. 1.-The Constitution of the United
States preceded the flag in Hawaii, ac-
cording TO a decision just rendered by
Circuit Judge George d. Gear, of the
First circuit. He has already released on
habeas corpus petitions three prisoners sem
fenced for infamous crimes after the reso-
luton of annexation passed Congress, and
was signed by President Mckinley. on the
ground that they were not convicted by a
unanimous verdict of twelve jurors "A
wholesale Jail delivery of murderers burg
lars, thieves and other criminals is threat
ened under the decision, and Honolulu is
greatly disturbed over the prospect.
The decision was given under the recent
insuar decisions of the United States Su-
preme Court, and on the clause in the New
lands resolution. which stated that all
municipal legislation of the Hawaiian
islands not inconsistent with the Constitu
tion should remain in force" Judge Gear
held that this meant that laws that were
inconsistent with the Constitution should
not remain in force. and therefore that the
Constitution extended to Hawaii imme-
dately on the signing of the Newlands
resolution by the President. Attorney
General Dole is making a vigorous fight
against the decision and is trying stO get
the matter before the Supreme Court. He
contends the Constitution does not apply TO
Hawaii by virtue of the Newlands resolu-
tion or the flag raising. Judge Gear held
that there were no rights of appeal by the
prosecution from writ of habeas corpus
granted and President Dole has applied TO
the Supreme Court for writ ordering Gear
to allow an appeal
