whether the federal law enacted to
break UP the peon system is appll-
cable to the so-called peonage cases in
the Southern states viii come UP be-
fore the Supreme Court tomorrow. 1t
was set for to-day. but Attorney Gen.
eral Moody asked that 1t go over for
day.
The Attorney General regards this
case of so great Importance that ho
has decided to make the argument for
the government in person rather than
through one of his assistants. This
will be Mr.. Moody's first appearance
in the Supreme Court as attorney gem
eral. He sets forth in his brief that
there are hundreds of cases, perhaps
a thousand, now being held up TO await
the Supreme Courts decision In this
particular test case.
The attorneys representing Clyatt are
Capt. Hammond of Thomasville, Rep
resentative Brantley and Senator Ba-
con. Mr.. Rrantley viii make the
opening argument and Senator Bacon
will close in reply to the argument Of
the attorney general. Mr.. Brantley's
brief, goes exhaustively into the his
tory of federal peonage legislation to
show that the so-called peonage OF
the Southern states is an entirely diff
ferent condition. and one with which
the states, not the federal government,
have to deal.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton in legal circles and throughout the
South.

SituaciOn de los beIiSGranteS

Un periodico espaiiol que Sc edita
en- Nueva York hace consideraciones
muy discretas referentes 4 Ia actual
situacion de los poderes beligerantes
en- el Extreme Oriente de Asia, Y
acerca de las operaciones realizadas
por el bravo Almirante ruso Makarof,
que saliendo de la defensive al ataque
descubierto ha hecho zanzibar de tac-
tica de combate al enemigo, y le ha
burlado sus combinaciones y ataques
que intentaron llevar efecto contra
Port Arthur.
Creycndo juiciosa y prudente Ia
opinion dc LAS Novedades la re
producimos q continuation:
La nueva forma que de s1bito han
adquirido las operaciones uavales en-
el golfo de Lao Tong, con La presen-
cia del tipo adecuado la OCCASION, el
almirante Makaroff, es un certero gol-
pc la tests de que no hay hombres
.Leces2rios. No puede dndarse que
el credito de Russia como naci6n capaz
de producer marinos ha mejorado un
ciento por ciento en- pocos dias, y serfa
injusticia manifesto que tai no suce-
desc ante pruebas de pericia y herois-
mos como las dadas en- la madrugada
del domingo. Uno de los efectos de
la transformation ha sido que los es-
trategicos ingleses hayan vuelto de su
acuerdo en- 10 de conceder al Iapon la
supremacia absolute en- aquellos
mares.
Ahora Sc la conceden Conditional,
como realmente parece ser. Es muy
probable que el lapon no ha inundado
va de tropas la peninsula de Lao
Tung debido al rieSgo de que una es-
capada rusa de Puerto Arturo, atacan-
do una gran flota de indefensos tras-
portes, pudiera ocasionarle inmensas
perdidas. De aquf los repetidos en-
peflos de "embotellar" la escuadra ru-
Sa en- Puerto Arturo como los america
nos hicieron con la espafiola en- San
tiago. Mas, ique diferencial Bien po-
drfa haber comparacion entire las fuer-
zas de Togo ' las de Sampson; pero de
ning1n modo entire las de Makarof y
las de 'Cevera; como tampoco entire la
calidad de las plazas de Puerto Arturo
y Santiago donde no habla verdaderos
medios de defensa, de ataque, nj : I'm
de subsistencia. Queda despues la
posibilidsd de que en- un momento crf-
tico el escuadron de Vladivostock Sc
una a la flota de Makarof y la supre-
macia japonesa, hoy Conditional, Sc
convierta en- dudosa nula. En- GUAM
to al recurso tltimo de las escuadras
del mar Negro y del Baltico, seguimos
en- el excepticismo de antes, mientras
que en- 10 tocante operaciones terres-
tres de alguna consecuencia, parece
que ser4 menester que e1 general en-
jefe ruso de La sefial-y hay quien dice
que no Ia dara hasta septiembre. La
falta de un buen cuerpo de caballeria
es e1 gran inconvenience de los japo-
neses, que les impide aprovechar las
ventajas de la prCximidad y de la ra-
pidez con que empezaron moverse. !"
