VALUE OF THE STUDY OF LAW.
Judge Robinson Lectures on Subject in
Catholic University Course.

Judge Robinson last evening discussed
''The Value of the Study of Law as a
General Intellectual Culture" in the
Catholic University OF America public
lecture course at Mcmahon Hall. before
large and appreciative audience. Judge
Robinson said in part:
The value of any science as subject
of study is to be measured first. by the
Importance of the science itself second.
the intellectual discipline which its study
affords, and third. the collateral fields of
knowledge into which it introduces the
student. The Importance OF a science de-
rends upon its utility to man in his pres
ent circumstances and condition. OF the
sciences pre-eminently important on this
account there are fve-religion. logic
hygiene. private economies and law. All
persons in society are bound by the law,
whether they know its rules or not, and
are liable to loss of liberty. property. and
even life itself through their ignorance
Of its provisions.
The value of the study Of law as a
mental discipline resides in the fact that
II deals with precisely defined ideas and
proceeds by logical processes SO that the
study Of law constantly trains the per-
ceptive faculties in accuracy and the rea-
soning faculties in correctness and re-
a study of law also cultivates the moral
faculties. and tends to develop the ca
paclty Of discriminating between right
and wrong.
THE collateral subjects with which the
student of the law is brought in contact
include nearly every other science. but
most prominent among them are history
and literature The study of law is in one
aspect the study of history. for the his
tory of every people is written in IT'S
laws. Legal literature is vast in guam
tity and of the highest rhetorical value
and connected with its study is that of all
other fields OF literary effort
For general purposes the study of the
law of rights and wrongs suffices. leaving
the law of remedies to the professional
lawyer. At present this subject is too
much neglected. but recent Indications
point to it's reinstatement In all our
schools of learning as matter OF uni
yersal instruction"

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
MAY TAKE A REST
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL,
Vote to Be Taken on Measure in House
TODAY

General debate upon the river and har-
Dor bill was concluded yesterday in
the House. and the measure was taken
Up under the five-minUte rule. There are
1l6 printed pages in the BILL and about
one-fourth of that number had been read
at the time of the adjournment. The bill
will probably be passed tomorrow.
During the discussion yesterday the bill
was advocated by Representative Powers

III. Mr.. Small dem. y. c. complained
because the appropriations for the water
ways in his State were not commensurate
with their Importance; Mr.. Gaines (Dem,
Tenn) insisted that the committee had
erred in not providing for further i'm
provements of the Cumberland River, and
Mr.. Burgess (Dem., Tex spoke in favor
of liberal policy in the matter of i'm
proving waterways.
General debate was concluded by Mr.

DEMOCRATS STAND
FOR STATE RIGHTS
CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
Representative Mann of Illinois Anxious
to Have Several Called Up.

Representative Mann tReD.. I'LL, a
member OF Elections Committee No. 1,
gave notice in the House yesterday that
as soon as the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill is disposed of. he would
call up the contested election cases of
Spears vs. Burnett, from the Seventh Ala
bama district and that of Moss VS.. Rhea,
in the Third district.
In the first case the report Of the COM
mittee is unanimous in favor of Mr.. Bur
nett, Democrat, the sitting member. The
second case. however, promises to de-
velop an interesting discussion. The Re
publicans of the committee have reported
in favor of Mr.. Moss, the Republican con-
testant, while the members of the minor
ity have submitted a report in favor OF
Mr.. Rhea. the sitting member.
The latter contend that the majority.
in arriving at it's conclusion that Nr.
Moss was elected has reversed the for
mer decisions of the committee and ruled
contrary to all precedents upon the points
involved in the committee. The Demo-
Gratis will make an effort to save Mr..
Rhea's seat.

DUAL OCCUPATION OF
MANILA NOT HEALTHY
General Otis Tells Why Agui-
naldo Was Forced Out.
Orders Came Direct From President Nc
Kinley-Move Was Considered
Wise One.

Before the Senate Philippine Commit
tee at yesterdays session Major General
Otis continued his statement OF the con-
dition OF affairs in the Philippine Archi-
pelago. where he recently served as com
mander of the American Army and as
Military Governor.
He gave an explanation as to his de-
mand for the withdrawal of Agunaldo's
forces from the neighborhood OF Manila.
He said that all the bridges were guard
ed and that the Spaniards held all de-
fences TO the north of the city until they
were turned over to the troops of the
United States. so that Aguinaldo's re-
quest to receive portion OF the north
ern part of the city, in trade for some
OF the southern portions. could not be
entertained.
Senator Hale asked General Otis to
take the memorial sent to Congress by
the American Chamber of Commerce OF
Manila, 20 over it, and be prepared today
to give the committee. in writing. his
views on the subject. In any case where
he did not wish TO give an opinion he
need not do so, but in all other cases he
should write down his approval or dis
approval, and his reasons therefor.
Senator Rawlins asked under what in
structions General Otis acted in insist
ing on the withdrawal of ASuinaldo'
forces from the city of Manila.
Orders From President.
General Otis-Under instructions Of the
President of the United States to the ef-
feet that there must be no dual occupa-
tion Of the city.

Railway Representative Here to Look

Organizations of railway employees of

proposition which received favorable men
tion in the Republican national platform
for 1900, and have established legisia-
tive representative at the National Cap
ital to look after the desired legislation
on that subject.
Yesterday their representative. Hugh r.
Fuller. addressed the following letter to
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana. who was
chairman of the committee on resolutions
of the Republican national convention OF
1900:
Dear Sir: The following plank ap-
pears in the Republican national platform
of 1900:
In the further interest of American
workmcn, we favor an effective system
OF labor insurance
"As you were the chairman of the
committee on resolutions which prepared
this platform, and therefore are probably
in better position to know the mean
ing of this plank thar is any other men,
bcr of the convention, | hereby respect
fully ask you if you will please give me
an Interpretation of this language. Is it
intended by this plank to make employ
ers insure their workmen against in
iuries received IN the course of employ
mento If not. will YOU kindly advise me
what kind of an insurance is contem-
plated?"
Mr.. Fuller said that 4 bill on this sub
ject had been introduced in the House by
Mr.. Little OF Arkansas. but it was not
the railroad employees measure.
Before they entered actively into
campaign to secure what was desired, he
said it had been deemed wise to first Sc
cure from Senator Fairbanks 4 statement
of what the platform declaration meant,
so that it might be used as a sort of
guide in the preparation of the bill.

Word Was Delayed.
DR.. HILL MAY GO TO GERMANY.
Mentioned as Possible Successor to Unit
ed States Ambassador White.

DR.. David Jayne Hill, First Assistant
Secretary OF State, is considered the man
most likely to step into the position of
United States Ambassador to Germany 10
succeed Andrew D. White. who intends
to retire from that position next fall,
when he reaches the age of seventy years.
To fill the vacancy thus occasioned It
is believed that Mr. Herbert II. ID. Pierce,
now Third Assistant Secretary OF State
and a relative of Senator Lodge, will be-
come First Assistant Secretary.
Little credence is given to the report
that Belamy Storer, now Minister to
Spain, will be given the Ambassadorship
to either Germany or Italy. 1t is thought
the latter position will soon be vacated
by Mr.. Henry Won L. Meyer. Of Massa-
chusetts. who wants to become a candi-
Gate for election TO Congress to succeed
Representative Moody, the new Secretary
OF the Navy.
Senator Foraker would be against con-
ferring any such honor upon Mr.. Storer.
The two are not in the least friendly. and
it is generally credited to Senator Fora
ker's influence with the last Admiaistra-
tion that Mr.. Storer was not made First
Assistant Secretary of State at tie time
DR.. Hill received the billet.
The nomination of DR.. Hill would meet
with a large amount OF favor should
President Roosevelt decide upon him as
the successor of DR.. White at Berlin.
During the recent visit of Prince Henry
4 warm friendship sprung up between him
and DR.. Hill. who, by virtue OF his po-
sitiOn as head of the Presidents dele
gates, was with the royal party through
out the entire trip. Dr. Hills reception
as Ambassador from this country to Ger
many would be all the more welcome on
this account. and 1t is thought that few
persons could more strengthen or better
maintain the entente cordiale estab-
lished between the two nations by the

Cuban Tariff Compromise
Has Clear Field.
TWENTY PER CENT REDUCTION
Speaker Henderson Confers With Repub-
lican Senators - Democratic Amend
ments to Be Ruled Out of Order-House
Will Take Its Time

Speaker Henderson was in conference
yesterday with his lieutenants in the
House and the leading Republican Sen
ators. with regard to the future pro-
gramme for the consideration Of Cuban
tariff legislation. il view of the action of
Tuesday nights Republican conference
endorsing the Ways and Means Commit
tee plan, for 90 per cent reciprocal
tariff reduction between the United States
and Cuba. TO continue until December l,
1908.
The beet sugar men are taking their
defeat with very good grace under the
circumstances. although some of them
declare that they will never consent to
the passage of a bill embodying the rec
concentrations OF the conference.
No particular haste will be displayed by
the House leaders in framing the new
bill, as it is hoped that time will heal the
wounds caused during the protracted con-
troversy over the question, and that it
will be possible to pass the measure by
Republican votes alone. and without hav
ing resource to special rule.
Must Stand Together.
II the Republicans will stand together
it will be very easy to carry out this pro-
gramme, and any amendments that may
be offered from the Democratic side of the
House will be ruled out OF order by the
Speaker. and the bill passed and sent to
the Senate in the shape in which it was
reported from the Ways and Means Com
mittee yesterday.
Many Of the beet sugar men of the
the Senate advance pledges that the bill
will not be changed. No such assurances
will be given. Republican Senators say
that the best argument that their col
leagues in the House can present in
opposition to the amendment of the bill
by the Senate would be unanimous
party vote in its support.
Time May Be Extended.
1t is very well known that large ma
jority CT the Republican Senators believe
that the proposed 30 per cent reduction
is not sufficient to accomplish the re-
suit desired in Cuba. and that the time
of.its operation should be extended be-
yond December l, 1903.
1t is the opinion of the Republicans of
the Senate also that the measure to be
enacted should be in the shape of an
ordinary bill. and not left it is now,
the granting of authority to the President
TO negotiate treaty. He has authority
already. the Senators say, and it is not
unlikely that when the House bill is
placed before them it will be amended to
meet the views of a majority OF the Re-
publican members as above set forth.

House Not DESTROYS of
Discussing Measure.
HURDLES AHEAD FOR MEASURE
Position of Speaker Henderson Source
of Much Worry to Republicans
Comes From State in Which Both SEN
ators Voted in the Negative.

NO steps have as yet been taken by Rep
resentative Grosyenor, Chairman of the
House Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries. TO whom the ship subsidy bill,
which passed the Senate last Monday, has
been referred. toward arranging a pro-
gramme for its consideration.
There is a widespread impression among
the Republican members of the House
that no serious attempt will be made to
pass the bill at this session, but that it
will be allowed to so over until the short

Speaker in Doubt.
The fact that six Republican Senators
voted against the measure in the Senate,
and that two OF them are from Iowa, the
State from which the Speaker of the
House halls has led good many mem
bers to believe that the Speaker will op-
pose any plan looking to the passage Of
the measure at this session. and that if
he does he will have enough influence TO
prevent action.
The Speaker is disinciined to explain his
attitude toward the bill. and it is not
definitely known whether the reports of
his opposition to it are true or not.
Some timid members are urging that it
would be much nicer from political
standpoint to pass the bill next winter.
after the Congressional elections. The
leaders say that the measure has received
the endorsement OF the party in national
convention. and that TO pass it would be
merely carrying out the pledges of the
party to the people.
There Is, no doubt. considerable indlvid-
ual opposition to the bill. but It is the
opinion OF the best-posted men in the
House that e serious attempt will be made
to put it en- the programme Of the organ
ization for action at this session.
