Highland Light between the Brundage
and the schooner Charles II. Sprague,
which sailed Wednesday from this port
for Beaufort, s. c.
The damage TO the Charles H. Sprague
consists OF broken rails and ~lanyards.
which loosened the rigging and made II
necessary for her to start back for this
port.
The Brundage had been anchored all
night Wednesday and was just about to
get under way when the Sprague was
sighted Ave miles distant, apparently
heading in the direction OF the Brundage.
The men on the latter schooner claim that
there was no lookout ON the Sprague. that
IL required considerable shouting on their
part TO get a response from the crew Of
the other vessel.
Just as the Sprague was about to ram
the Brundage, a seaman on the former
sprang forward and seeing the imminerce
of the disaster threw the Sprague's wneei
hard over. so that in the impact, the
stern and not the bow OF the schooner
struck the Brundage. In the collision the
bowsprit OF the Brundage was broken
off at the knighthead and other damage
was caused. a..ter the accident both YES
sells headed for Boston. The crew Of
the fishing vessel claims that the Charles
II. Sprague was entirely at fault.

At the meeting OF which Mayor Higgins
wished exact data. a Number OF Republi-
cans were assessed for personal property
at the request OF the chairman OF the Re
publican city committee while a number
Of Democrats were not assessed though
they wanted to be.
The raising OF the constitutional ques-
ton prevented the Pawtucket mayor from
getting certain Information he desired.
Today counsel for the assessors urged
the court not to decide the point raised
because Il would be useless TO so do as
the assessors long ago completed their la
bors. This mandamus question is consid-
cred important by mebers OF the bar.
The question OF the jurisdiction OF the
superior court arises because the consti-
tutional amendment under which the
court was created states that the supreme
court shall have power 10 issue preroga-
tive writs and shall also such other juris-
diction as may from time be prescribed by
law and inferior courts shall have such
jurisdiction as may be conferred by law
and sec. IL OF the court and practice act
gives the superior court the right TO is
sue writs OF habens corpus, mandamus
quo warranto and informations i'm the ma
ture OF quo warranto.
Counsel for the petitioner argues that
the Superior court has concurrent juris-
diction with the Supreme court I'm the
Issuing writs OF mandamus. In support
Of the contention that mandamus is gem
orally within the jurisdiction OF ordinary
courts he quoted I'm his brief a wealth OF
authority and TO the effect that "the writ
being an original process. II Is not in the
nature OF appellate Jurisdiction. even
granted by an appellate court. In states
whore the courts OF last resort are de-
void or original jurisdiction n vested
with only appellate power. such court
cannot exercise jurisdiction by mandamus.
Especially I'm point was the Washington
case. where. though the constitution con-
ferred original jurisdiction upon the SUI
preme court to issue p~rerogative wrlts, the
highest court OF the state held that such
jurisdiction was not exclusive. but that
the Superior courts might also have juris-
diction IN the same matters"
Counsel for the assessors admit that the
question raised by the record r.: "Can the
legislature confer on the superior court
Jurisdiction in cases OF writs OF habeas
corpus. mandamus quo warranto and in

FRIARS LAND
IS NOW
PAID FOR

Manila, Oct. 2O.-The question OF the
friar lands purchase was practically
settled today at Manila, when the COM
mission paid the Dominican order $3,225,-
900, which is the last payment.
The sum OF 100000 was appropriated
for the purchase OF the friar lands in the
Philippine Islands. and by the middle OF
January last more than half that amount
had been paid out TO the various Catholic
orders and the titles 10 the lands pur-
chased had passed 10 the Philippine gov
eminent.
Eventually. as announced from Wash
ington oct. ~. Secretary Taft approved a
settlement arranged by the Philippine
government. which completed the pur-
chase OF the friar lands, and according
10 the above dispatch from Manila the
final payment has now been made.
The friars held about 10000 acres OF
land.

city treasurer on or before Sept. 80. 1906,
and, as IL is presumed that the respond
ents nave done what the law requires,
nothing now remains for the court TO act
upon.
In support OF this they urge that a writ
Of mandamus will not issue IL II will prove
unavailing that courts will refuse to de-
eide upon the constitutionality OF a
statute, except when the decision Is neces-
sary to the final determination of the
case that courts will not pass upon a most
question.
As to the main question counsel for the
respondents say: Affirmative words, vest
ing power under a constitution are con-
strued as prohibiting the exercise OF that
power by other departments OF govern
ment. tribunals or officers, otherwise the
words would have no operation at all. or
would not have their full and proper
operation.
