WISE CARRIES THEM UP.
Puts His Virginia Negro Case in the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
Washington, Jan. 1.-TWO cases in
volving the franchise rights of the
ginia under the new constitution of
that state have been docketed in the
Supreme Court of the United States by
John S. Wise. The cases originated in
the United States Circuit Court for the
eastern district of Virginia, and were
adversely passed upon last November,
Chief Justice Fuller being on the bench
at the time.
One case was an application for a
writ of prohibition, and the other an
application for writ of injunction,
the purpose in both instances being to
have the court prohibit the Virginia
state canvassing board from canvass
ing the vote for congressman at the
last general election on the ground
that the restrictions placed upon vot-
ers by the new state are "in contra
vention of the federal constitution"
The first case was a proceeding in
law and the second in equity, but the
court refused to entertain either of
them, as it was without jurisdiction, as
the cases were political and the state
itself must necessarily be a party to
the proceeding.
In his assignment of errors bringing
the case to the Supreme Court. Mr..
Wise attempts to controvert these
points. He contends for the jurisdlc-
ton OF the court, and, on the point as
to state interest, says:
1.-THE subject of the prayer was not
to compel the state to do anything, but
to prohibit the officers of the state
from violating a plain duty" In con-
Guiding his statement, Wise says:
petitioners by counsel, in view of
the Importance of this case, will, upon
its hearing, petition the honorable, the
Supreme Court of the United States,
for leave to discuss the subject freely,
and will ask that they be not strictly
confined to the specifications of error

MADE AN AMENDMENT.
Senate Adopts Views of Beet Sugar
Men ON Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to-day
agreed to recommend the adoption of
an amendment to the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, providing that the reduction
of 20 per cent. in the tariff on Cuban
sugar shall not be further reduced by
any preferential rate given to another
country.
This action was takn at the instance
of the beet sugar men.
To-day's meeting also served to de-
velop objections to other features of
the treaty. Senatr Taliaferro of Flor
ida made an argument before the COM
mittee urging amendments to the pro-
visions relating to tobacco and cat
tie, and Senators Bacon and Bailey,
both Democratic members of the COM
mittee, indicated opposition to the
treaty on other grounds. Senator Ba-
con offered an amendment placing the
Cuban treaty on the same basis as
other reciprocity treaties with reference
to the House of Representatives, but
the amendment was not acted on.
Senator Bailey took positive ground
against the policy of securing recipro-
cal relations with other countries by
means of treaties. He said that such
a course is unconstitutional III lIldI IL
is an interference with the authority
vested in the House of Representatives
to originate all tariff legislation.
The committee did not reach a vote
on the motion made by Senator Bacor
to strike out article 6 of the treaty
exempting American tobacco from
preferential rates given by Cuba to
American articles.
1t is claimed that the adoption of
the amendment relative to the reduc-
ton on sugar will have the effect of
insuring the support of practically all
the Republican senators. The opposi-
ton to striking out the provision re-
garding tobacco was because of the
plea on the part of the Cubans that
under it American tobacco might be
shipped to Cuba and then exported
from that island as Cuban tobacco.
If Senator Bacon's pending amend
ment should be adopted the treaty
would not become effective until it
should be acted upon by the House.
The amendment reads:
This treaty shall not take effect
until the same shall have been approx
ed by the Congress"
Senator Bacon was speaking in sup
port of this amendment when the com
mittee adjourned. There will be an
other meeting tomorrow.

HOGAN WILL COME.

Tommie Hogan who was matched to
meet Dougherty in this city last night,
but did not show up, is still in New
York at the sick bed of his mother,
which detained and prevented him from
keeping the engagement. AS soon as he
can, he will come here and meet any
one the club cares to match him with.
He is particularly anxious to meet
Feltz again, and by defeating Dough-
erty or some other good man he will
have placed himself in a position to
demand the meeting.
