able friend, the member from West

figure in the drama that marked the
opening Of parliament yesterday
For the first time in years Joseph
Chamberlain took his seat as a private

From his seat he saw his son act as
leader of the house Of commons, q

with all his years of parliamentary ex-
perience never attained.
When Austen Chamberlain arose
to reply in behalf of the party of
which his own father is believed TO be
the most powerful member the house
was spellbound.
The situation was without par
sllel in the recollection of the oldest
politician and all eyes were fixed al
ternately upon the father and the son.
Joseph Cham berlain, who had sat
unmoved under the ridicule of the
Liberal leader. turned nervously
toward his son, who now takes prece-

Save the Port Arthur Fleet.
of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In the present state of military affairs n t
Port Arthur there is a possibility that the
Russians may deem ii proper to destroy the
ships now in that port. Cannot such a mis-
fortune be avoided by prompt action on the
part of the contending nations by the max
ing of an agreement that in case of sur
render of the place the ships which 1t viii
be easy to destroy, shall not be destroyed,
but shall remain in that port. unframed, AZ
prisoners, so to say. until the end of the
war, not to be used during the war any
more either by japanese or Russians-the
adjustment of ownership and value to be
determined as one of the clauses of settle
ment in the making of peace?
If the ships are destroyed, 1t will be an
immense loss of property, doing nobody
any good, and they will have to be re-
placed, eventually, at great cost.
Such an agreement might be made upon
the basis of equal interest in the ships.
which would seem fair; or one of indemnity
to be be paid for their return to Russia at
the close of the war; or one of a purchase
sum to be paid to Russia by Japan for the
ships, as we bought the Philippines-cer-
ta.Ely some understanding could be had by
reasonable men. or the whole settlement
could be left to future arbitrations, per-
haps by the Geneva tribunal
A foreign power could be asked to take
charge of the ships during the war, keep
ing them out of use and out of danger, as
far possible, the ships themselves being
hostages for a proper remuneration for
their care and keep, during the time.
| commend this suggestion to the notice
of the Russian and japanese ministers,
also to the kindly notice of our own gov
eminent, which might, l should think, Of
accommodation and of help might
be needed or desired BERRY BENSON.

FILIPINO VISITORS.
Educated and Cultured Islanders
Guests Of Philippine Commission.

Commissioner Mcfarland has received
| letter from Secretary Taft of the War
Department, explaining the mission of
delegation of about fifty educated and cul-
tured Filipinos, who are coming to Wash
ington early in June, as the guests OF the
Philippine commission. Secretary Taft also
expressed the hope that the capital of the
nation, "of which all of these Filipinos
have heard SO much" will do its share
toward their proper reception. Mr.. Mac
farland has suggested to his associate Com
missioners that the attention Of the WASH
tngton Board of Trade and the Business
Mems Association be called to the matter
with the request that they take whatever
action may be practicable, In view OF the
suggestion of Secretary Taft.
Secretary Taft, in his letter to the Com
missioners, states that the educated cul-
tured and refined Filipinos will, of course,
not appear in exhibits such as are being
made at the st, Louis exposition me
Philippine commission has been apprehen-
sive lest the wild tribes from the Philip
pines exhibited at the worlds fair might
attract such wide attention that the visit
ors to the fair might be led to consider the
wild tribes as representative Of the general
average of civilization in the islands. For
that reason the commission deemed 1t
proper to appropriate sum OF money TO
bring to the United States delegation OF
prominent FiIipinos, prominent at the bar,
in business, in the provinces, In literature,
in order that by going about the country
and the different cities they might become
acquainted with the institutions and APP
pearances of this country, and at the same
time that the business and prominent men
of the cities of the United States might
have acquaintance with the best element OF
the Filipinos.
The appropriation being small it has been
necessary to apply to the various cities to
assist in the entertainment Of the gentle
men. THE first virtue of a Filipino city or
village says the Secretary, lis hospitality,
and all who have. ever visited the Philip
pines and become acquainted with the Fill
pinos will understand why it is that those
of us who have enjoyed the hospitality of
the people of those islands are SO anxious
that the gentlemen will be received with
their standard of hospitality, and shall not
be disappointed in what they receive here"
The delegation will arrive at San Fran
cisco on May Is, and after spending few
days in that city will proceed to Washing
ton stopping Off en- route at Fort Riley and
at Cincinnati 1t is expected the party will
reach Washington about June 8. After
leaving Washington the party will visit all
the principal cities in the east, the mayors
of which have taken steps to entertain
them.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
Salient Features Of Some Of the Opin
ions Handed Down.

The Supreme Court of the United States,
in an opinion by Justice Brewer, yester-
day laid down the principle that tele-
graph operator for railroad company and
a fireman on railroad engine are fellow
servants" and that the negligence of the
former causing the death Of the latter in
the operation Of trains was a risk which
the fireman assumed and was not a ground
for damages against the railroad company.
The case was that of Alline A. Dixon
against the Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany for damages for the death of her hus-
band, Z. A. Dixon, a fireman on the road,
killed in a collision caused by the negli-
gence of a telegraph operator.
A dissenting opinion from this conclusion
was delivered by Justice White, and con-
CURED in by the chief justice and Justices
Harlan and Mckenna. In this dissenting
opinion the view was expressed that the
operator was the agent of the employer,
and as such his negligence rendered the
employer liable for damages or death
caused thereby. The opinion was further
expressed that the courts decision would
have the effect of creating much confu-
sion.
The court decided against Ribas Hijo,
in his suit against the United States for
$4,000 damages for the seizure and use by
the United States of a sailing vessel at
EOHCe, IOIlO uiCO, HI Tie CpdIllSu war. IQe
ship was later returned to it's owner by the
United States military authorities with the
stipulation that all claims for damages be
waived. This the owner refused to comply
WITH and abandoned the ship. which was
wrecked in storm. In his opinion Justice
Harlan said the seizure of the ship was for
purposes of war and not for gain, and that
the property seized was that of the enemy
The claim had no foundation by reason of
the Constitution of the United States, any
act OF Congress or any contract. The judg-
ment of the lower court dismissing the case
was affirmed.
In an opinion by Justice Brown, the court
afhrmed the opinion of the Missouri SUI
preme court in the cases of John G. Fischer
and Bernard Schefe against the city of St.
Louis. The opinion upheld the constitu-
tionality of the city ordinance prohibiting
the establishment of COW or dairy stables
in the city limits without official permits
! sion. Justices Harlan and Peckham dis
sented.
Justice McT<enna delivered the opinion of
the Supreme Court in the case of Solomon
l.. Swartz, trustee in bankruptcy, VS.. l..
#. Hammer, tax collector for St. Louis, in
volving the question as to whether funds
held by trustee are subject to local taxa
ton. The court held them to be.
