the Supreme Court will declare

The first portion of the document
is the information of quo warranto
citing the application TO the COM
missioners, the action Of that board,
the election on Nov. IS. and the doc
uments flied with the register of
deeds to prove that an election had
been held. A map of Granite Rock
township is attached, showing the
zig-zag line OF the proposed village.
1t calls the election of officers of
of Dec, Sd a pretended .elec-
ton. 1t also alleges that W. G..
Norcutt, Frank Scharfe and Will
L. Conrad, who signed the petition
asking for the Incorporation OF the
village, were residents of other
towns, while other signers we're
laborers in the construction of the
railroad through Lucan.
The plated portion OF Lucan as
filed with the register of deeds, by
the Western Town Lot Co., outside
of the depot grounds, constitutes %
acres The territory proposed to
be incorporated as the village is
1920 acres, the whole being all ir-
regular tract of land, almost exclu-
sively for farm purposes. There
are 81 people now residing within
the plated portion of the tow a and
"a in the farming territory.
The information then contends
that the pretended incorporation is
a scheme on the part of certain pc

titioners to organize an illegal mus
nicipal corporation to enable the
village to pass an ordinance regu-
lating the sale Of inloxic eating liquors
at $500, which is just one half of Che
fee fixed fora county license. The
pretendedincorporation, it tdeclares,
would result in large additional
tax on the farm lands by reason Of
the special municipal tax.
The prayer asks that the whole
proceedings, including the incorpo-
ration and election of officers be de
clared void. The document is signed
by Mr.. Douglas as attorney general,
is sworn to before Deputy Helm OF
the Supreme Court, and is followed
by the order signed by Chief JUS

officers to show cause why they

Con sress Nay Adjourn July 10.

A Washington dispatch Of Saturday
says that Congress will adjourn about
July 10. Some of the members think
they will be away from Washington be-
who appreciate the amount of work
now unfinished, and have figured out
how long it will take to dispose of it
under the most favorable circumstances,
state that an adjournment cannot be
expected before the second week in
July. Representative Crumpacker. in
discussing the probable date of adjourn
ment, said today:
1.-THE Philippine bill will not be
taken up before the 18th of this month.
Seven days will be allowed for general
debate and two days for iVe-minute
discussions. After that, numerous
amendments will be offered. 1 am in
formed that the sentiment OF the House
in favor of some change In the bill as to
coinage and legislation is very strong,
and that several amendments changing
these portions of the bill TO fit their
views will be adopted. l also under
stand that the Senate is equally deter
mined TO have the bill remain rs it
passed the Senate, which would result
in long conference. 1t must also be
remembered that the Cuban reciprocity
bill has not been settled. Under these
clrc cumstances / do not see how there
can be adjournment this month"

Washington, June s.-The United
States is making rapid gains in the
share which she furnishes of the i'm
portations of Japan. The annual Re-
turns of the Foreign Trade of the En-
pire of Japan" for the year 1901. has
just been received by the Treasury Bu-
reau of Statistics. 1t shows that the
United States, which in 1881 furnished
less than per cent. of the imports of
Japan. supplied IL per cent. of those
imports In 1901; and that the United
Kingdom, our chief rival in that trade,
which supplied over 80 per cent. OF
these Imports in 1881, furnished but 20
per cent. of Japan's impOrtations in
1901. The total value of Japan's i'm
ports from the United States in 1881
was l, 7Sl, JOS yen and in 1901 AZ, 769, 42s
yen. The total value of Jspsn's i'm
ports from the United Kingdom in 1881
was 16, 1854, TAO yen, and in 1901 was
5O,575. 7ss.
The United States now stands second
in the list of non-Asiatic countries In
the imports of Japan. and falls but d
few thousand yen below India, the only
Asiatic country which ranks with the
United States in the imports of Japan

ENGLAND has dealt very leniently
with the Beers in settling the terms of
peace, but makes the point for which
she went to war, to-wit, her sovereignty
over the Transvasl and the Free State
Colony. She will hold the CaOe Colony
volunteers liable to trial for treason, as
they left their own country (which did
not take part In the war) to light for
the Beers. Everything will be done by
tie English to restore prosperity to the
country, and her rule over the Beers
will be like that over Canada, Austria
liza and New Zealand, which colonies
sent England's best fighters to help her
in the BOer war. Their dream of inde-
pendence is gone, but the Beers will
have more liberty than they ever en-
joyed under the Kruger Government.

RECENT examinations of the papers
and diary of John Quincy Adams, reveal
the fact that he and not Monroe was
the author of the Monroe doctrine; he
being Secretary of State under Monroe
and that in the thirties, he openly
declared that the Government had q
right to destroy slavery, as war meas
ure. and predicted that the slave
holders would in time rebel against the
Government, that they would be de-
feated, and that slavery would be aboli-
shed as result. In looking up author
tiles as to the power to abolish slavery
a. a war measure, this opinion of Mr..
Adams was given to President Lincoln.
