New York Decision Similar to Judge
Bradley's suspicion" Ruling.
= The court of appeals of New York has
just handed down a decision which, IT is
said. will have the effect of curtailing the
police practice there of making arrests ION
suspicion" This action of the New York
tribunal is in keeping with the ruling OF
Justice Bradley Of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia OF recent date
holding that the police are without author
ity to arrest person on the ground of
suspicion"
The case In New York. according to the
New York Sun. is that Of Harry V. Snead
who was arrested in 1893 as a suspicious
person. Robert L. Harrison. counsel for
Snead, says that in November. 1899, his
client, who was the son OF well-to-do
parents, and who lived at IS 9Th avenue
wanted to raise some money, and for that
purpose took out OF storage q quantity of
silverware belonging to his mother, with
the intention of pawning 1t. He got it
from the storage house by permission OF
his mother. AS he could not induce the
pawnbroker he visited to advance as much
as he wanted he put the goods back in a
valise and left the shop.
As he was walking toward his home he
was stopped by Detective Sergeants Bon
noil and Cottrell. They asked him what he
had In his satchel. Snead. not knowing as
ne testined IN court, that they were detec-
tfves, told them somewhat forcfbly that It
was none of their business Thereupon the
two detectives told him that they were
from police headquarters, but according
to Snead they refused to show their badges
and when asked by what authority they
had stopped him. pulled out pair of hand
cuffs. snapped them over his wrists and
remarked: That's our authority"
Snead testified further that he was Ill
used and was searched. and that some
love letters which were found in his
pockets were read aloud by the detectives
Tor the amusement OF their brother OH
GERS. After he had been locked up for
forty-eight hours, 1t was established that
he had not stolen the silverware and he
was discharged after being fined SO for
carrying revolver.
Snead sued Bonnofl and Cottrell for dam
ages for Illegal arrest. The case was tried
In the supreme court before Justice Frank
Laughlin and a jury gave Snead $500 dam
ages The police commissioners, recogniz-
Ing that IL the verdict was allowed to sta nd
It would be an awkward impeachment to the
detective department, instructed corpora
tfon counsel to carry the case to the appel
late division. This court ruled In favor of
Snead, as the court of appeals also has now
done MIR. Harrison says that the court OF
appeals has taught the lesson to the police
authorities that they could not be permit
ted to arrest people indiscriminately. with
out warrant. and upon mere assumption of
guilt. "a

WISHES OF THE MEN CONSULTED.
Volunteers VIII He Mustered Out at
San Francisco.

Volunteers Will He Mustered Out at
San Francisco.
Some time ago the Secretary Of War sent
instructions to General Shafter at San
Francisco to ascertain the wishes Of the
volunteer organizations arriving at that
port from the Philippines as to whether
they should be mustered out at that point
or at the general rendezvous where they
We're organized. There had been so much
criticism on this point that the department
concluded to make it optional with the
troops.
The only objection offered to the muster
out Of troops at San Francisco was that
the men were liable to spend all the money
they received, including travel pay to their
homes, in dissipation and be unable to
reach their homes without outside assist
ance. 1t made no special difference TO
the government, as the expense was about
the same whichever course was followed.
Some persons, however, believed that it
would be better that the men should not
receive their money until they arrived near
their homes. As rule the returning vol
unteers preferred receiving their money at
San Francisco and continuing the trip to
their home at their own convenience.
The department concluded to act in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the majority
of each regiment. The adjutant general
received telegram today from General
wish Of the enlisted men Of the 33d and
34th Regiments of Volunteer Infantry which
arrived on the transport Logan yesterday,
that the commands be mustered out In San
Francisco. That action was the result of
a vote taken on board the ship yesterday.
The wishes of the men will be respected
and the two regiments named will be mus
tered out at San Francisco.

Boom in AtUhison and Rock Island
Issues Today.
TALK OF 4 CONSOLIDATION
Closing Week Has Been a Re-
markabIy Active One.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
NEW YORK Marc 3o.-The week. clos
ing today has been one Of unusual excite
ment and irregularity. but the closing hour
quite eciipsed all previous records I'm this
particular. An advance Of per cent IN
ROCK Island, In as many minutes and the
steady demand for Atchison issues lead to
rumors OF closer relations between these
companies and all the optimism of the
street broke out afresh
Nearly two months ago symptoms of sig
nifcant buying were disclosed In these Is
sues. but official ignorance of the fact was
proclaimed In every quarter Even now. in
the face of the sharp advance there is only
vague suspension of the truth Rock
Island and Atchison combined would
amount to little without an eastern outlet
to the seaboard now that through trans
continental lines are being arranged for In
all quarters.
Consequently a strong eastern property
must be the real background for the pres
ent undertaking, and shrewd Judges are
inclined to predict Pennsylvania as the
absorbing power. This arrangement has
many clements of probability in it. ana
those who go on this presumption are not
likely to get far away from the facts
meantime all knowledge Of the deal will
DE denied on technical grounds as was the
the case with Burlington In the latter
case the denial paid little attention to mere
technicality. With the exception OF Rock
Island. Burlington was one of the most
active stocks on the list, selling up to l78
new high record and being wen sustained
around 17S The prediction is freely made
that this stock and Northern Pacific will
De the leaders again next week at record
prices The last named property seemed
TO be purposely held in check during a
greater part OF today
Western Union sold up TO q7 under a
mixed demand. I'm which q local pool was
most active. Rumors OF all sorts continue
10 be heard In explanation OF the rise but
most or them have been officially denied
The southwestern issues are being SUM-
ported, but there is no effort TO force them
into greater activity. The deal I'm that
section is making satisfactory progress
expectedly, in all probability, Just when
the market needs a stimulant
sale OF Lackawanna at DO was the
only significant development among the
coal properties. The news relative to the
strike seemed to have been discounted.
Erie and Reading paying little heed to the
official announcement that no strike wouId
be ordered Lake Erie and Western gained
about per cent under q small volume OF
business and the usual rumors OF closer
relations with another Vanderbilt property
accompanied the movement Increased
earnings helped the price somewhat also
The steel stocks Were strong and weak
by turns. The United States issues are
growing IN favor, and the management has
had to restrict rather than encourage buy
ing.
The traction shares continued strong I'M
der mixed demand In which a fair
amount OF covering was noticeable.

Orders will soon be issued detailing two
officers and about eighteen enlisted men of
the Marine Corps for duty at Dry Tor
tugas. Fla. This action Is preparatory to
the establishment at that place of a marine
garrison of three officers and eighty en-
listed men. Later the garrison may be
further increased. The immense coaling
station which has been for some time un-
der construction on that island is nearing
completion, and the island is entirely under
control of the Navy Department The first
detachment of marines will make the place
ready for the reception of larger garri-
son. and the necessary repairs and addi-
tional buildings for troops will be ascer-
tanned. Fort Jefferson, or Dry Tortugas. is

Precautions Being Taken by til
Agricultural Department..

Agricultural Department.
On account of the reported existence Of
rinderpest in the Philippine Islands. Secre-
tary Wilson some time ago recommended
to the Secretary of War that such action
be taken as might be necessary to prevent
the introduction Of the contagion into the
Hawaiian Islands and the United States
by animals brought on government trans
ports. He also requested the Secretary of
the Treasury to direct that special precau-
tons be taken on the Pacific coast to pre-
vent the landing OF susceptible animals
without their being turned over to the De-
partment OF Agriculture for quarantine
under the supervision Of the bureau of ami
NAL industry. Secretary Wilson has re-
ceived replies from Secretary Root and Sec
rotary Gage informing him that the desired
instructions have been issued.
Rinderpest is the great cattle plague of
oriental countries. which has frequently
swept over Europe. destroying nearly all
bovine animals, and has attracted special
attention during the past two or three
years by its ravages in Africa, where In
many sections 1t destroyed from 30 to 95
per cent OF all the cattle.
Although incubation at least has been 80
far ef1cacious as somewhat to reduce the
losses from this disease, 1t still remains
one OF the most fatal diseases to cattle.

will be inflicted upon him. ct is yet too
early to say what will be done with the

officers today. 1.-The matter has not yet
received final consideration by the Presi-
dent
Much will depend upon the future course
taken by Aguinaldo in determining what
his punishment shall be. II, as indicate ed
by General Macarthur. he issues an ad-
dress to the Filipinos advising general
surrender and the acceptance of American
supremacy in the Philippines he may be of
considerable service to the government in
bringing about normal conditions. The ad-
ministration is disposed to take advantage
of any practical service the chieftain may
be to the government, providing his acts
show him to be sincere. Or it may be de-
termined to- send him away from Manila,
probably to the Island of Guam. The sug-
gestion that Aguinaldo be banished seems
popular with some government officials,
and in that connection they instance the
act of Great Britain in sending General
Cronje. the Boer leader, to the Island of
ST. Helena.
