There are great many people in the
city who think Council acted very hast
lily in granting the new ferry fran
chise to operate between Benwood and
Thirty-seventh street, Bellaire In the
first place the crossing at this place as
a very dangerous one, and the steel
works are compelled to use it daily in
their shipments of steel, pig iron, etc.
They use this crossing very much and
send hundreds of cars over 1t weekly.
When the ferry is put in operation it
viii COMPEL the C. & P. company to
cut the cars every three or four min
utes, causing a loss of very valuable
time to both the railroad and the steel
company. Next, at this time the Secre-
tary of War has the papers on the
bridge to be erected between this city
and Benwood that the United States
engineers sent him recommending the
700-foot span. The bridge will be of
far greater value to the city than the
ferry, anu this is very likely to cause
some delay on account of the bridge
people. The Council had promised the
bridge company that they would let
them know when this matter was
brought up, so that they could have
some one there to represent their side
IN the matter. but instead of this the
bridge company was not notified about
1t and the ferry had their own way
The vote stood in Council for and
against granting the franchise. 1t is
thought by many of the people that the
c. & P. railroad company will get out
an injunction against it.

THE PORTO RICAN CASES.
MIR. COudert Contends That the Gov
eminent Has No Existence Out
side of the Constitution.

Washington, Jan. S.-Argument was he
gun in the United States Supreme Court
this afternoon in the Porto Rican customs
cases now before the court. The five con-
solidated cases were taken up and f. K.
Coudert spoke in behalf of the plaintiffs
against the government in the case known
as the DeLima case. He said the De-
Lmas had paid the duty under protest
and had brought their suit to recover
against Collector Bidwell as an individ-
ual and not as an official, because thcy
had not looked upon the bringing in of
the goods as an importation. Hence the
act applying to the administration of
the customs law did not apply.
Justice Harlan remarked incidentally
that If the court was found 10 be with
out jurisdiction that discovery would de-
terrnine the case and thus avoid the ne
cessity of further proceeding.
Mr.. Coudert Contended that the Paris
treaty has the force of law until super
seeded. Hence the sovereignty and domin-
ion of the United States. He argued that
the clause of the Paris treaty leaving the
determination of the civil rights and po-
litical status of the native inhabitants to
Congress was merely declaratory of the
power given by the constitution to with
to establish civil government and enact
municipal law in all places where no ate
government exists
He laid down the general proposition
that the constitution is a charter or grant
of powers conferred upon the Federal
government by the people of the United
States and hence that the Federal gov
eminent has no existence outside the con-
stitution. Therefore he said it was an
impossibilty for the United States to pos
soss territory beyond its constitutional
boundaries"
Mr.. Coudert asserted that as the Ding
ley act imposed duty only on goods i'm
ported from foreign countries it could
have no applicability to goods brougAt
from Porto Rico to the United Statee,
as Porto Rico ceased to be foreign" af-
ter the ratification of the Paris treaty.
Such an act was a violation of the con-
stitutional provision requiring uniformity
of duties throughout the United States.
He referred to the anomaly of giving
courts which were not, according to the
contention of the governments counsel,
courts of the United States, power to
make citizens of the United States as
territorial courts do by naturalization

R0CHESTER'S AWFUL BLAZE.
Twenty-six Orphan Children and
Two Adults Dead.


Rochester. N. Y, Jan. 6.-Twenty- eight
dead bodies lie at the morgue and twelve
others, more or less seriously injured lie
at the different hospitals in the city to-
night, as result of the terrible holocaust
which occurred early this morning at the
Rochester Orphan Asylum. OF the dead,
twenty-six were children OF both sexes,
ranging in age from two to fourteen years,
while the remaining two were adults.
The fire. which was discovered at ITO
a. m, and was doubtless caused by an
explosion of natural gas in the boiler room
adjoining the west wing of the asylum
spread so rapidly that many of the 100
inmates of the institution were overcome
by the flames and smoke almost without
warning
A corrected and revised list of the dead
follows:
Arthur Kelly. Gladys Hill, Gertrude To-
ner, Bertha Hall, Viola Stuck. Lillian
Stone, Mildred Slocum, Mary Alexander,
Helen Hamilton, Hazel Murray, Minnie
Tiffany, Myrtle Patterson, Isabel Mar
thage, Gertrude McCaw, Marion McCaw,
Loere Owen, Charlie Benham, Rhea Con-
well, Bertha Potter Mildred Wright, col
ored, Minnie Skinner, Mary Kane, Cora
Potter Charlotte Bryant, Beachnen Ca
rey, Evangellne Carey, Mrs. Martha Cor
don, the cook of the asylum, Mrs. Mar
tina ellis, a nurse.
In all the long and dismal records of
fatal fires in Rochester none can be found
which can equal this one in its general
horror, in the pathetic scenes in which so
many lives were blotted out, in the gall
LIANT sacrifice of lives of the attendants
in whose charge the children were and IN
the sad scenes az the hospitals and
mor2ue.
That so many children were saved from
the west wing of the building seems little
short of miraculous, and when the RUNS
were visited to-day people marvelled that
the death roll was not even larger. The
scene following almost Immediately upon
the discovery of the fire and the accom-
panying explosions was one that turned
the stoutest hearts sick The windows
of the west wing were filled with the ter
rifed faces of the tiny waits. Working
like men possessed, the firemen strug-
gled to release them from their perilous
position. The rooms of the dormtory
were filled with the smoke of the fire and
the little ones were being slowly suffo-
Gated
Most of those rescued were lowered to
the ground by means of ladders from the
second and third stories.
The ambulances from every hos
pital in the city reached the
scene almost as soon as the first de-
partment, but they proved totally made
quate in providing for those rescued.
Many sufferers and the dead were. re-
moyed to the houses in the immediate
neighborhood.
There were awful scenes around the
asylum at this time. Most of those res
cued from the building were coEscious
from the effects of smoke. 1t soon be-
came apparent that the building was
doomed A general alarm was sent in
and the entire fire department was soon
on the scene. The fire was stubbornly
fought from every available point, but 1t
was over an hour after it's discovery be-
fore it was under control.
