or OF otherwise punished for presenting to the
Circuit Court of Appeasa pamphlet attack
ing the personal character and judicial
integrity of the judges" and accusing
them of violating their duties as judges,
The proceedings are an offshoot Of the
suit of John f. Du Bois OF Du Bots, Pa,
against the cities of New York and Brook
lyn, which has been before the United
States courts since 1872 Du Bots sued
for $685., 900 for the infringement Of a Golfer
dam patent in the building of the Brooklyn
Bridge. His attorneys disagreed and
Du Bots decided to substitute Watt and
Dohan. Yhe ousted la yers were employed
on a contingent basis. and Master IN
Chancery decided what fees were due them.
Judge Lacombe confirmed the findings and
was in turn confirmed by the Circuit Court
of Appeals. in spite of the contention OF
Watt and Dohan that Judge Lacombe
had been unfair.
They then asked the Judiciary Com
mittee Of Congress to start impea chment
proceedings against Judge Lacombe. These
charges were dismissed as not worth con-
sideration.
Watt and Dohan then filed a pamphlet
with Judges Holt, Townsend and Coke
of the Circuit Court of Appeals, asking for
a reargurlent of the question, IN WHICH
il il ~aid, they again recite their grievances
against Judge Lacombe and make similar
allegations against the three Judges of the

NO GAS CONFUSION.
The Members Failed to Qualify Before the

ALBANY, June 23.-The new State Gas
Commissions first meeting, which was to
have cen held here to-day, was necessarily
postponed owing to the fact that the Com
missioners had not qualified previous to the
meeting Of the State Senate on Wednesday,
which will make it necessary for the Gov
ernor to send in their names for confirma-
ton when the Legislature rea ssembles on
Wednesday and for the Senate to confirm
tefore their appointments will be valid.
If they had qualified before the Legislature
met in the extra session. the appointments
would have been valid as recess appoint
ments until the next regular session Of the
legislature
The Commissioners. james R. Sheffield of
New York. Judge l.. L.. Sheldon of Platts-
burg and former Attorney General John c.
Davies Of Camden. Oneida county, were all
here to-day. and Mr.. Sheffield had an inter-
lev with the Governor.
The impression prevails here that Sheffield
has declined to accept the Office, but Is
delaying announcement Of the tact until

Sheffield says any announcement "a to his

them that they misunderstood the speech

vigorous reaction has been resumed and that
MONDAYS reception by the Car was only

STRICT CENSORSHIP.
The circular received by the newspapers
Is as follows
The words pronounced by the Car dur
ing the reception of the members OF zamst-
vos and municipalities have heen incorrectly
Interpreted by portion OF the press, and
several newspapers have even gone so far
as to deduce therefrom the arbitrary conclu-
sion that the Cars words implied an extern
sion of the imperial rescript of March
to the Minister of the Interior. in the
sense Of a convocation Of representatives
of the people on the basis existing in the
constitutional countries Of Western Europe.
whereas it was clearly shown in the En-
perors words that the conditions OF such
conyocation were to be based on an order
Of things corresponding to Russian auto
cratic principles: and His Majesty's words
contain absolutely not the least indication
Of the possibility of modifying any Of the
fundamental laws of the empire.
Consequently the Central Administra-
ton for Press Affairs, by order of the Minis
ter Of Interior, informs all publications

the form in which they were reported in
the Official Messenger, without any addi-
tions or abbreviations; and that in order
