COMMIssIONDR sTTsTAINED


 In the Emitted States district court Judge Townsend handed down decision yester' day morning in the admiralty case known as Robert Palmer X Sons Shipbullding and Marine Railway company and the houseboat Sleepy Hollow" Samuel l. LHommedieu, ct al., against the same. The case came be- fore Judge Townsend on exceptions to tha report of Clerk Marvin. who heard thu claims presented by the two creditors.
 Two libels were filed against the sleepy Hollow,' one for $1, ,S49.S4 for services ren. dered and materials furnished at the yard of the Robert Palmer X Sons company be tween November 27, 1900, and January g., 1901.
 The other libel was for $50 for towage service rendered by LHommedieu ct al, of the White Star line of towboats. The judge finds that the claim of the Palmer company for repairs and for materials furnished should take precedence of the claim for towage, and as the avails of the sale are insufficient to pay the other the whole sum will go to the shipbuilders. It was about six months after the Palmer company filed its libel against the houseboat that l. Hom- medieu's claims were presented. inc .Seepy Hollow was owned by LorenZq Blackstone, of Norwich
 < Judge Townsend's decision sustains the finding of Commissioner Marvin in every particular.

NO FLIES ON THE fRIARs.

While the representative OF the
United States was kow-towing at
the vatican and dickering for pos
session of the friars' lands in the
Philippines, the friars themselves
were quietly closing out the lands
in question to the agents Of the
trusts and complacently depositing
the proceeds in their cassocks.
In either case, the trusts or ted>
eral officials would have got the
benefit, SO it is unimportant wheth-
er pope or priest got the dough" "
Probably the titles furnished by the
friars were full of holes, but surely
not more so then the one transfers
ing Spain's pretended claim to the
archipelago to the United States.
Possession being nine points in
law, the trusts may be depended on
to hold fast to the frairs' lands until
a second Mont Pelee develops
force to jar them loose.

HOW WE PROTECT OUR WARDS

A peculiar ruling has lately been
made by the United States commits
sion OF immigration. He holds
that the Porto Ricans and Filipi>
nos, as foreigners, shall pay tax
of $50 per head before being al>
lowed to land on American soil.
Considering that European inn
migration to this country is ad-
vancing in leaps and bounds, it
seems strange that those entitled to
most consideration from this gov
ernment should be refused free en-
try. The arrivals at the port Of
New York for the first six months
Of this year we're 3Io,3oo-an adj
vance of something like IS per
cent. over the same period of the
preceding year.
This inflow represents the sweep>
ngs of monarchial Europe. Our
peculiar immigration laws allow
this class to come without stint
and without price. The Chinese,
very properly, are excluded. But
this class is greater menace to
labor and American institutions
han the Chinese, yet pays no toll.
Porto Rico and the Philippines
are supposedly in close relations to
the American republic almost like
sister states. How comes it, then,
that the natives thereof are classed
as Chinese coolies when they seek
to pay visit to their foster parent7
Why should they be Disseminated
against when our republican friends
tell us the governments policy is
20 lead them to an intimate rela>
tionship and higher statea
We believe that, as much as pos
sible, America should be for Amer
icans-that it is time we were Gloss
ing our gates to the emptyings of
the prison pens and pest houses OF
Europe. So long as the republican
party, in its wisdom, however, has
insisted upon colonizing policy,
the people it adopts should by
right be entitled to all that Ameri>
can freedom and citizenship implies.
No true mother will ever turn
her children from her door, nor

A PROPER PROCEEDING.

The Denver chamber of COM
merce, which leads in many good
works, has turned it's attention to
the Bucklin bill. The following
non-partisan committee has been
appointed by that body to prepare
a pamphlet, for the use Of voters,
containing the arguments pro and
con anent the proposed amend
nent: Calvin Reed, c. A. Stokes,
c. S. Thomas, A. B Seaman, ]. H,
Blood, Ralph Talbot, A. B Ullery,
r. w Bonynge. F. A. Williams,
M L. An6nger, Joel F. Vaile,
George F. Dunklee, Alfred Muller,
Thomas H. Hardcastle and w. w.
Dale. These names represent all
shades OF political beliefs and are
sufficient guarantee that entire jus>
tice will be done to the subject.
This work is particularly valu>
able at this time because the Buck
lin amendment will be one of the
most bruited subjects of the cam
paign. 1t is Of vital importance
because il the proposed change in
the constitution works the miracles
claimed by its advocates, the peo-
pie Of the state have only half lived
in the past and peaches and cream
and all other good things await
them in the future if they vote
right. On the other hand. the op
ponents OF the measure picture cap
ital taking to the woods if the
amendment is adopted, conhscation
OF property and other horrible pos
sibilities. Between these extreme.
truth is to be found, and this un.
biased committee will come nearer
discovering where it lies than the
partisans of either side.
The Bucklinites are militant, the
antis hsadless and unaggressive. The
democratic party is placed in the
awkward position of sponsoring an
infant it would prefer unborn, bu,

WOMAN'S STRANGE SLEEP
MRS. JAMES II. ABERNATHY STILL IN
A sOMNOLENT STATE.
Spiritualist Who Fell Asleep Last
Friday While Reading n Paper and
Cannot Be Awakened.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. Mrs. James r. Aber-
nathy. who suddenly fell asleep while read
ing a newspaper aloud to her husband last
Friday morning, is still in somnolent
state. The attending physician this after
noon again applied an electric battery, and
for a moment the sleeper's eyes opened,
she made a slight effort to sit up, then
sighed and fell back asleep without having
uttered a word. Her breathing is deep and
regular and her heart action is pronounced
good The physician states that he believes
her condition is due to cerebral hemorrhage
and thinks she should awaken of her own
accord about next Thursday after period
of six days. "The alternative is," he said,
that If blood instead of serum has con-
gested in the brain she may pass away
while asleep. The principal symptom is a
swelling Of the arachnoid, one of the three
principal membranes of the brain. How
ever, / believe her chances for recovery are
favorable"
Mrs. Abernathy is believer in spiritual
ism, and many devotees of the cult gath
cred at her home to-day and stood around
her bedside, believing she Is in trance
and holding celestial communication and
eagerly watching for the conveyance of
some sign from the spirit realm by the
sleeper.

to Miss Hassetts room while she was at

boarders who warned the actress. John

he shot and killed her. He then turned the
weapon upon himself, firing two bullets into
