Washington, May 4.-The Chinese Min
lister called up Seeretay Hay today at
the State Department and discussed the
Manchurian situation with him. There is
good reason to believe that the negotia-
tions have taken more favorable turn
and that the Russian coup which was OK
pected has been either abandoned OF
indefinitely postponed. 1t is understood
that this involves no retreat on the part
of Russian government from any posi-
tion officially taken Certain inquiries
were addressed by NJ. Planchon, the Rus
sian Charge, to the Chinese government
respecting the Chinese purpose as to
Manchuria. The Russians hold that there
We're enormously taken to be a set OF

answers being taken as satisfactory, the
Russian government ha decided to carry

The Supreme Court Decides
1t Can Do Nothing,
AN INTERESTING CASE
Bowman Indicted for Bribery in tie Congress
sional Election in Kentucky 80 The 0pln-
ion of Justice Brewer Suslains
the District Court.
The District Court.


Washington May 1.-The United States
Supreme court in an opinion by Justice
Brewer today delivered an opinion in the
case of United States Marshal James, Of
Kentucky, VS.. Henry Bowman. involving
the validity Of section 5507. of the revised
statutes respecting the bribery of per-
sons protected by the Fifteenth Amend
ment The opinion affirmed the decision
of the United States District court for
the western district of Kentucky de-
claring that statute unconstitutional
Bowman was indicted for brlbing me-
gro voters in connection wit the Con-
gressional election in the Fifth Con
gressional district of Kentucky in the
election of 1900 Being arrested he sued
out a writ of habeas corpus on the ground
that the statute was in contravention of
the Federal Constitution. The District
court thereupon discharged Bowman. and
the government brought the case to the
Supreme court, which affirmed the opin-
ion.
Justice Brewer said that If the const-
tutionality Of the section in question
could not be sustained the indictment
must fail, and referring to the statute
he said: "On its face the section pur-
ports to be an exercise of the power
granted to Congress by the Fifteenth
Amendment, for 1t declares a punishment
upon any one who by means Of bribery
prevents another to whom the right or
suffrage is gained by such amendment
from exercising that right. But that
amendment relates solely to action by
the United States or by any State, and
does not contemplate wrongful individ-
ual acts. .
He quoted authorities to show that a
statute which purports to punish purely
individual action cannot be sustained as
an appropriate exercise OF the power
conferred by the Fifteenth Amendment
upon Congress to prevent action by the
State through some one or more of its
official representatives and that an in
dictment which charges no discrimination
on account of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude is likewise destitute
of support by such amendment
Justice Brewer added that the court is
fully sensible of the great wrong which
results from bribery at elections. and said
that it does not question the power of
Congress to punish such offenses when
committed in respect to the election of
Federal officials. At the same time it
is all-important that a criminal statute
should define clearly the offense which
1t purports to punish, and when so defined
it should be within the limits of the
power of the legislative body enacting it,
Congress has no power to punish bribery
at all elections The limits OF its power
are in respect TO elections in which tho
nation is directly interested or in which
some mandate of the National Constitu-
tion is disobeyed, and the courts are not
at liberty to take a criminal statute.
broad and conspicuous in it's terms, and
in these terms beyond the power OF
Congress, and change 1t to fit some par
ticular transaction which Congress
might have legislatcd for If it had
seen fit"
