POLITICAL POINTERS
shrievalty Talk is Holding the Boards Hartford Against Lilley.

Reports come from up Hartford way, says a New Haven correspondent or the Hartford Times, of mutterings against Lilfey, against the idea that any person so early in the political game. weeks. yes, months before the date even of the state convention has been set, can put his hand out and say: 'Keep back, this is my piece or the political pie" Lilley's friends in reply to this kind of talk and rumor state that the field is open, and mas been open and will remain open untll the convention makes its selection, ana that Lilley has never undertaken to build a stone wall around this political office. It is case, they say, Where the best man wins, and if there IS any other good republican in the state who wants try for the office, why, all that is necessary. in their judgment, is to trot him and keep him on the trot till the bell rings in the convention.
 The announced retirement of Robert O. Eaton from the contest for the nom- ination for sheriff. against the present sheriff A. B. Durham, has taken T great deal off the minds of local re- publicans. They now see clear way IO OOlOuCl Jill oOoNtSS p They consider him stronger than Dun- ham. by far, and probably stronger than any other man New Haven may pick up between now and convention day. New Haven men want Senator Kennedy of Naugatuck to run for sher- iff They are certain he would have the cleanest walkover ever enjoyed by a candidate for political office. They seem afraid of Tomlinson, not withstanding there are hundreds who say Tomlinson will have the machine the day of the convention. But that, say the friends of Kilduff and Kennedy is not getting elected. It would seem that the Kennedy and Kilduff men are afraid that Walter Leigh's friends would knife Tomlinson, as they say Tomlinson's friends knifed Leigh two years ago. It is evident there is q great deal of distrust in the ranks of the Democratic party in the Elm city Meanwhile Mir Kennedy is not saying much. Some of his friends say that to accept the nomination for sheriff would be too radical departure for a lawyer in this state. But others say the departure would pay well and that is the main point. He is said to be the man that would conciliate all factions in his party and that he would be elected by a surprising majority is ad mitted by all.

MUST DELIVER MAIL.
Case of Magnetic School Of Healing
and Nevada, MO-, Postoffice.

Washington. Nov. Injustice Peckham
of the Supreme Court of the United States
delivered today the opinion of that court
in the case of the American School OF
Magnetic Healing VS.. ]. NJ. McAnnulty.
the latter being postmaster at Nevada,
Mo, where the school is loacted.
A fraud order was issued by the Post
office Department instructing the post
master not to deliver mail TO the school.
The original bill asked for an injunction
to prohibit the postmaster from obeying
this order On trial In the United States
Circuit Court for the Western District
of Missouri, the Departments order was
sustained on a demurrer.
Today's opinion reversed that judgment
but in delivering 1t Justice Peckham said
that there was no intention of passing
upon the various constitutional objections
set out in the bill. the intentions of the
court being to simply hold that the adj
mitted facts show no violation of the
statutes cited but an erroneous order CIV
en- by the Postmaster General to the de-
PENDANT which the courts have power to
grant relief against"
The action of the court was accompa-
MED with instructions to the lower court
to ''overrule the defendants demurrer to
the amended bill. with leave to answer
and to grant a temporary injunction as
applied for by complainant"
The opinion continues I'm overrul-
ing the demurrer we do not propose TO
exclude the defendant from showing in
the trial If ne can that the business of
the complainant is as in fact conducted
amounts to violation of the statutes"
Justices White and McKenna did not
concur in the opinion.
In reviewing the case Justice Beckham
quoted the plea OF the magnetic school
that one human mind may control an
other in treating disease and said;
lone person may believe 1t of greater
efficacy than another but surely 1t cannot
he said that it is fraud for one person
to contend that the mind has an effect
upon the body and its physical condition
greater than even a vast majority of in
telligent people might be willing to ad-
nit or believe. Even intelligent people
may and do differ among themselves as
TO the extent of this mental effect. Be

claim to be able to effect cures by reason
Of working upon and affecting the mem
tai powers OF the Individual and direct
Ing them towards the Accomplishment Of
cure of the disease under which he
might be suffering. who can say that IT
Ii fraud or false pretense or promise
within the meaning Of the statutes? How
can any one lay down the limit and say
beyond that there are fraud and false
pretenses? The claim of the ability to
cure may be vastly greater than most
men would be ready to admit and yet
those who might deny the existence or
virtue of the remedy would only differ
In opinion from those who assert. There
Ia no exact standard OF absolute truth by
which to prove the assertion false and q
fraud"
Later on Justice Peckham said: Sup
pose person should assert that by the
use of electricity alone he could treat
disease as efficaciously as the same here
tofore have been treated by regular ply
a.cians. Would these statutes Justify the
Postmaster General, upon evidence salts
factory to him to adjudge such claim to
be without foundation and then pronounce
the person so claiming to be guilty OF
procuring by false or fraudulent preten-
ses the moneys of people sending him
money through mails and then to prohibit
the delivery Of any letter to him7"
The opinion svas that many people do
not believe In vaccination and in homeo-
pathy and asks whether on this account
vaccination Is to be prohibited and wheth-
err homepathetic physicians are subject to
be proceeded against by the Postmaster
General.

OSCAR PRO-GERMAN
KINGS DECISION COMPLETE
TURN-DoWN OF AMERICA.
Swedish Arbitrator Adopts the Most
Extreme German View to the
Detriment of United States
and Great Britain.

Washington. Nov. 17.-By previous ar
rangement between the principals. there
was today published simultaneously in
text of the decision given by His Maj
esty, King Oscar H., as arbitrator be-
tween the three countries named of GER
tain claims owing to military operations
conducted in Samoa in the year 1899. The
decision is long and abounds in where
ases and conclusions and in substance 1t
has been announced here following dis
patches from Stockholm.
The preceding publication, however, did
not convey to the officials here full re-
alization of the complete victory won by
Germany in this arbitration for 1t APP
pears that on every single point the ar
bitrator adopted the most extreme. Ger
man view In opposition to the United
States and Great Britain.
The arbitration grew ont of claims by
German or British subjects or American
citizens for compensation on account Of
losses they alleged they had suffered In
consequence of unwarranted military &C
ton on the part of the German, British
or American officers in Samoa between
the LIST of January, 1859. and the 18th OF
May following The question really at
issue was whether the British and United
States Government should BE considered
responsible for the losses.
The decision concludes as follows:
THAT the military action in question,
viz: The bringing back Of the Malietoans
and the distribution to them of arms and
ammunition, the bombardment the mill
tary operations on shore and the stopp-
age of the street traffic. cannot be consid-
cred as having been warranted.
And that. therefore, His Britannia
Majestys Government and the United
States Government are responsible under
the Convention of the 9TH of November,
1899, for losses caused by said military
expedition.
"Whlle reserving for future decision
the question as to the extent to which
the two governments or which of them
may be considered responsible for such
losses. Oscar"

Refuses to Discuss the Rumors OF 9
Divorce.
New York, Nov 1.-THE dispatch from
Sioux Falls announcing Mrs. Roland B.
Molineuxs arrival there to take up her
residence was shown to General Molineux
today and he was asked If his daughter
in-law intended to get a divorce.
II have nothing to say" said the Gen.
eral.
Roland B. Molineux's counsel, g. G.
Battle said he knew nothing about Mrs.
Molineux's reason for going to Sioux
Falls. Former Governor Black was In
Troy, N. Y, today.
Mrs. Molineuxs absence from court du-
ring her husbands last trial revived ru-
mors Of family differences but she went
to the Molineux residence in Brooklyn a
few hours afterward, her husband was
acquitted and remained until the next
morning when she returned to New York
where she had been staying. She was
there an hour or two and then disap-
peared. She was not seen in public with
her husband last week.
Ex-Judge Olcott, of Moiineux's coun-
sci, said the news from Sioux Falls was
a surprise to him because the differences
between Mrs. Roland B. Molineux and
her mother-in-law had been settled and
the family relations SO far as he knew
were amicable. General Mollneux paid
his sons wife's expenses all the while
his son was in prison and last week the
General made public statement about
his daughter-in-law in which he said:
she is as good and pure woman as
breathes.'
He said he had traced all the stories
concerning her and found they were
false.
