lutcs together while every ship hoisted
the royal standard and broke out a

Indomitable came on majestically with
sailors and marines ranged along the

New Hampshire, the colossal magni-
tude and power of the British ship

Back of her came the Minataur, an

GARFIELD AGAIN RELIEVED.
District Court Of Appeals Decides He
Needn't Put Up $164,000 Bond.

Washington, July 22-By order of the
collrt of appeals of the District Secretary
Of the Interior Garfield is again relieved
Of the necessity of putting up a personal
bond of $le40OG in his appeal from de-
cision by Justice Wright in the supreme
court. 1t has been a queer case. though
it may not have seemed so to Secretary
Garfield or his attorneys.
Mr.. Garfield fired out of the interior de-
partment several law firms that he had
become convinced were doing an improper
business. The district supreme court held
that Mr.. Garfield had infringed the con-
stitutional rights of the lawyers and or
dered their reinstatement. Mr.. Garfield
filed an appeal from the decision and JUS
tiee Wright required personal bond of
him for $4,000 on the appeal, as if his
:ction We're personal and not as an Off
cial of the government.
Lawyers for the secretary of the inte-
rior got busy running down the justices
of the court of appeals who were away
on their vacations while the court was in
recess for the summer, and they came
back triumphant with an order for a spe>
cial appeal signed by the court of ap-
peals justices.
This was calmly received by Justice
Wright of the supreme court. who
promptly decided that under the rules of
the court of appeals this court would
now have to, exact bond for So, 900 more
on the special appeal-sl64,OCO in all.
After another chase to find the justices
of the court of appeals Mr. Garfield's
lawyers have got back to Washington
again with another order of relief for
their client. The writ of mandamus of
the supreme court is directed to be STAY
ed and all proceedings in the cause su-
persedei without bonds. 1t is hoped by
council for Mr.. Garfield that the new or
der viii dllow them to get their cause be-
fore the court of appeals without further
tripping.

FIGHTING ICE INDICTMENTS.
John 3. StanchfieId lmpugns Justice
Goff's Law-Asks Him for Dismissal.

New York. July 22.-John r. Stanch-
field appeared yesterday before. Justice
Goff in the supreme court as cOunSel
for the American Ice Co. on four mo-
tions relating to the indictments filed
against the company as an illegal mo-
nopoly. One motion was to have de-
murrers to the indictments sustained,
another was for leave to inspect the
minutes of the grand jury, the third
was for u bill of particulars as to the
dates and other details of the acts set
forth in the indictments and alleged to
constitute crime, while the fourth
was for dismissal of the indictments
altogether as being founded on an er-
roneous construction by Justice Goff
of the ailti-monopOly law. $500
The main argument was made on the
motion to dismiss, and Mr.. Stanchfield
made direct attack on the correct
ness of the instructions given by = us
tice Golf in the criminal term last
month to the grand jury. =" '-''
Mr.. StanchfielG's brief was devoted
largely. to showing that in a ease de-
cided some years ago by the court of
appeals it had been held that 1t was
not illegal for one firm to buy out
a competitor with written agreement
that the seller would not resume bus
mess for q certain period. Justice Goff,
replying to 4 question put by the fore
man of the grand jury, had instructed
the jilry that a sale under such terms
was illegal and a violation of the anti
monopoly laws. Mr.. Stanchfield urged
that these instructions We're directly
opposed to the ruling of the highest
court in the state and asked Justice
Goff to reverse himself and either sus
tain the demurrers or dismiss the in
dictlnents. '''
Mr.. Osborne in reply declared that
the decisions of the court Of appeals
on which Mr.. Stanchfield laid so much
stress We're rendered before the pres
ent anti-monopoly laws went into ef-
feet and We're therefore not, binding
now Mr.. Osborne contended that under
the present laws the buying up of COM
pcting firms with an agreement
against resumption of business by
the seller was made crime and that
indictments based on such state of
facts were thoroughly good

gave counsel week to submit briefs
