TRIAL COURT ERRED.
Decision Of Judge Advocate General
Of Navy Approved.

The Navy Department has acted on the
case OF William j. Miller. fireman, second
class who was recently court-martialed at
the Washington navy yard on the charge
of deserton and sentenced to one years
confinement, dishonorable discharge and
reduction to the rating of coal passer.
In reviewing the case the judge advocate
general of the navy held that the court
had erred in making a reduction of rating
part of the sentence. This provision of
the sentence, he says. lis opposed to the
departments construction of article 1911
paragraph 3, Of the navy regulations, which
directs that In all cases in which the SEN
tence imposed on a petty officer involves
confinement 1t should not include reduc-
ton to one of the ratings below petty Of
fcer In the branch to which he belongs
: The accused was not petty Of
fcer at the time of the trial, and. under
the limitations of punishment prescribed
by the President, of which the regulations
above quoted is In reality a part. reduction
in rating is not authorized as an addition
to the maximum punishment. viz, one
years confinement and dishonorable dis
charge, provided for his offense in said
limitations, which was inflicted In this
case. I have to recommend, therefore, that
so much Of the sentence as requires re-
duction to the rate of coal passer be dis
approved"
This recommendation was approved by
the Navy Department.

EIGHT-HoUR LAW VOID.
Provision Affecting State or Municipal
Contracts in New York.

PROVISION Anecdng State or Municipal
Contracts in New York.
dispatch from Albany. N. Y, yesterday
says: The court of appeals today declared
unconstitutional the eight-hour provision of
the penal code subdivision l Of section 1884,
H.), in the case of the People agt the
Orange County Road Construction Com
pany. reversing the decision Of the appel
late division. second department. and sus-
tanning that Of Judge Beattie Of the Orange
county court, who ordered the discharge of
the defendant company, upon its demurrer
alleging that the law was unconstitutional
The law, which is a complement of the
eight-hour law provision of the labor law
passed at the same session Of 1899. made it
a misdemeanor for any person or corpora
ton. contracting with the state or with
municipal corporation. to require more
than eight hours work for days labor.
The defendant corporation was engaged
in road construction for the county Of
Orange and criminal proceedings were In
stituted in behalf of the people for It's in
fr1ngement The defendant entered de-
stitutional This demurrer was sustained
by Judge Beattie. but overruled by the APP
pellate division, from whose decision the
defendant appealed.
Judge Cullen's opinion. in which the whole
court concurs, holds that the law Is not
proper exercise of the police power of the
state, but unduly discriminates between
different classes of contractors. and be-
tween the same contractor working for
the state and for a private party, or for
itself 1t is conceded that the state has
right to protect women and children or
adults from unwholesome or dangerous oc-
equations. This law Judge Cullen holds,
does not deal with the character of the
work, or with age, sex condition of
employment nor even with the personality
of the employer.

REVOLUTION IN HONDURAS.
Account Of conditions There Contained
IN Private Letter.

Mr.. Henry Stefnberg Of this city has re-
ceived a letter from his son, Arthur F.
Steinberg, now IN. Honduras. concerning the
late revolution there. The letter, in part,
is as follows: : Il
1.-THE revolution in Honduras came to a
close on Easter Sunday with the revolution
lists before and all about the capital city of
Tegucigalpa- The settlement Of the diff
Guilty was in a large measure due to the
timely mediation of the American consul,
Mr. Alfred K. Moe. who. at the crucial
point Of the hostilities, when the forces of
General Bonilla were about to assault the
city and sack the houses. came forward
with plans for a mediation and a pacific
settlement Of the war by means Of articles
of capitulat ton satisfactory to both parties.
All day Easter Sunday the consul was busy
render of the city and tho free passage of
the president to the frontier Of Nicarag qua.
1.-THE Department Of State Is undoubtedly
in possession of the documents of capitula-
ton, as Mr.. Moe was up all night debating
and copying the official papers in the case.
After his return from Loarque, the head
quarters of General Alvarado second in
command to General Bonilla, he obtained
the final signature of President Arias. and
the surrender document was then dispatch
ed to General Alvarado. In the meantime
he was held practically a prisoner in the
palace. as the president was afraid that at
fairs might go wrong at the last moment
and turn out fatally for him. After awhile
he agreed to change his plans and the con-
sui was then allowed to depart, being
obliged to pass through lines Of soldiers
with cooked rifles and with the bayonet
points within a few inches Of his breast
At the time, which was nearly midnight.
he was unable to protest against such an
outrage, and the next morning it was dis
covered that Arias and his retinue, COM
posed of the vice president, Mr.. Francisco
A1tschul, and others, had fed during the
night, Protests. therefore, were unavail-
ing Mr.. Altschul represented Honduras at
the Buffalo exposition.
1.-THE Bonilla. forces entered the capital
early Monday morning and quietly took
possession of the public places. There was
no blood shed nor any sacking, thanks to
the consular Intervention. Arias, having
broken all the stipulations Of the surrender,
was caught the next day and is now in
irons in the penitentiary."

THE SHEPHERD FUNERAL.
An Honorary Escort Of Ex-ofhcials Of
the District to Be Formed.

DR.. A. p. Pardon. who has been designat-
ed as chairman Of q committee to arrange
for an honorary escort during the Shepherd
funeral exercises. has called a meeting for
7:o0 O'Clock this evening in the rooms Of
the Washington Board Of Trade. in The
Star building. when he will be glad to meet
all those who are eligible to take part In
the escort. 1t IL desired that the escort
shall be composed Of survivors Of the COM
mon council and board OF aldermen in
which Governor Shepherd served and all
oflcially connected with him In the terri
torial government. including the board OF
trustees and teachers of the public schools.
the health department. etc.
No word from the funeral party had been
received by Commissioner Mcfarland this
afternoon. It was expected the party would
reach Chihuahua yesterday. when tele-
graphic communication could be had. There
has been some delay. however, which pre-
cludes the possibility of holding the funeral
services next Saturday. II the party should
reach Chihuahua today in time for train
connection Washington might be reached
Sunday morning. 1t seems hardly probable
now that the party will reach here. how
ever, until Monday or Tuesday morning
next.
