JUSTICE HARLAN.
Honored by Banquet at Washington
Last Niqht.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Eminent mem.
bers of the bench ana bar, distinguish
ed representatives of the federal and
state judiciary, gathered about the
banquet board at the New Willard
hotel last night to do honor to Justice
John Harlan of the supreme court of
the United States. The banquet was
given by the Washington Bar associa-
ton in celebration of the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the elevation of the JUS
tice to the supreme court bench. 1t is
designed to make the AFFAIR a national
one. The president and his cabinet,
the justices of the United States su-
preme court, the speaker of the house,
the president of the senate and some
other men of note were guests of the
bar, and about 1000 invitations were
sent to prominent lawyers in all parts
of the country.
Justice John Marshall Harlan will
soon celebrate his seventeen birthday
He is graduate of the celebrated
Center college, Kentucky, in which so
many noted Americans imbibed their
early draughts of learning. After his
graduation he entered on study of,law
at Pennsylvania university, now the
University of Kentucky, and on receiv-
ing his degree took up the practice of
his profession in Frankfort and after
ward in Louisville. He served as col
onel of the Tenth Kentucky regiment
in the Union army under General
Thomas for two years, but resigned his
commission on the death of his father
in 1868. About this time he entered on
his political career, filling the office of
attorney general of Kentucky until
1867, when he returned to the prac-
tice o his profession in Louisville. He
served as a member of the Louisiana
commission and also was a member
of the Bering sea tribunal in 1898.
Justice Harlan was appointed TO the
supreme court bench by President
Hayes on November 29 1877, and he
took the oath of office on December 10
following. His length of service on the
supreme bench has seldom been sur
passed, only seven or eight justices
having exceeded it, The most noted of
these are Justice Field, who died a few
years ago after serving thirty-four
years, and Chief Justice Marshall, who
had like term to his credit.

No Confirmation at Berlin.

Berlin, Dec. 10.-The foreign Office
here, up to noon, had not received any
thing from La Guayra since Monday
evening, when Charge d'Affaires Won
Pitgrim-Baltazzi cabled that he had
gone on board the Vineta. The officials
here have no confirmation of the an
nounced arrest of all the German and
British subjects at Caracas and are
therefore disposed to discredit the
statement. They say that possibly a
few Germans and Englishmen have
been arrested under some pretext by
President Castro, but the foreign Office
authorities consider it extremely
doubtful that he would permit the ar.
rest of all the Germans and Britons at
Caracas.

COMMERCIAL CLUB RECEPTION
In Honor Of Visiting Traffic Managers
and Agents Last Night.
A VERY ELABORATE AFFAIR.

The Santa Fe traffic men were great
lily pleased and enjoyed themselves, as
lis their custom, at the brilliant recep-
tion and ball given in their honor, at
the Commercial club last evening.
The invitation to lay aside the cares
and tasks which have called them here
was accepted by every railroad man,
billiards and pleasant conversation
with the ladies and gentlemen of the
city, who are noted for their entertain
ing qualities.
Prof. Di Mauro's orchestra furnished
the inspiring music for the dance.
Champagne punch was served and
as the enjoyable affair was drawing to
close a lunch of turkey sandwiches
and other appetizing delicacies were
served.
The guests of honor were more than
pleased with the hospitable and con-
genial reception given them by the So
ciety people of the city and their
praise was not of surface appear
ance.
W. A. Bissell, traffic manager of the
coast lines, accompanied by party of
representatives of the western terri
tory, left this morning in private car
80 for FL Paso. They intended to leave
last night but the train was delayed
until 10 o'clock this morning. From
Ell Paso they will go to Bisbee and
other mining camps in Arizona.
This afternoons session brought the
annual meeting of the traffic managers
to close. The visitors will leave to-
night for the east and west. Some of
the eastern men will visit Denver on
their way to Chicago.
These meetings of the traffic mana
gers are held annually. Ihe place of
meeting being set only a short time
previous to the meeting.
The travelling auditor travelled over
all the various divisions a short time
previous to the meeting, in Albuquer-
que, and instructed the manager of
each division to prepare paper on the
traffic condition of their respective ter
ritories, which were read before the
conference here. Following the read
ing of the papers, all of which were en-
tirely different, there was a gen.
eral discussion. Some of the
ideas and suggestions given in
these papers opened good
field for arguments. No weighty ques-
tions are decided, but only the general
traffic business, the present conditions
and the prospects for improvement are
given thorough treatment, that each
manager may be benefited by the ideas
of his associates.
The traffic managers have been fav-
orably impressed with Albuquerque in
general. The fine old mission style
hotel, with all modern conveniences
has not only surprised many of these
gentlemen, but has pleased as well.
The curio rooms and museum, with all
their beauty and attractiveness, in con-
nection with the facilities of the hotel.
are looked up from a business stand.
point by the traffic men. rhe main
idea of the traffic business is for the
comfort and pleasure of the tourists,
and consequently only very favorable
impression can be gained from the ex-
listing conditions in Albuquerque.
