JOHNSTON DISSENTS.
Did Not Agree With Associates About
Lawrence Bonds.

one of the most notable features of
the state supreme court opinion de-
Iivered yesterday declaring that the
legislative act of 1883, relieving the
CITY of Lawrence from liability on the
100000 university bonds was valid.
was the dissenting opinion on this
question written by Justice w A.
Johnston as follows:
I'm my view the bonds of the city
of Lawrence are valid obligations of
the city and are now a part of the
state permanent school fund. No part
of the principal Of the debt has ever
been paid and there is no authority in
any one to forgive the debt. The act
of 1888 purporting to relieve the city
from the payment of the bonds, if
given effect, operates as an impair
ment and diminution of the state per-
manent school fund, and in my opin-
ion is invalid. The constitutional pro-
hibition against a diminution of the
state permanent school fund is as
binding on the legislature as it is upon
other departments or officers of the
state 1 therefore dissent from the
Judgment of affirmance."

while his attorney outlined his de,

be proven to the jury that these were
merely mistakes, that there was nc

did not profit one cent from any OF

show that Rinehart owned 700 shares
OF the capital stock of the bank and
that he paid $500 a share for the
stock only a few months before the
bank closed and that there was moth

"In view of the Industrial depres.
sion and the large number of men un-
employed, 1t is most improper for us
to levy assessments" said Mr.. Com.
pers. I'VE should either make an ap.
peal to all labor and our friends for
such voluntary financial contribu-
tions as they can make to the enor-
nous expense of the legal defense of
our case, or We should authorize the
abandonment of any attempt at de,
fense and appeal Whichever course
you may determine is the wisest or
most practical or inevitable, Is en-,

This decision was made known by
Mr. Gompers in a comprehensive re-
port which he read at the meeting
here of the executive council of the

Christian Rudowi's, a former mem

the petition OF the Russian consul on
charges of murder, arson and bur

rades in Russia at the mercy Of the
government, and he was sentenced tc
six months imprisonment for con

BUSY DAY FOR THE GOVERNOR
Inauguration Day Makes Strenuous
Time for ohio's New Chief
Executive.

Columbus, o., Jan. 12.-If every
day OF his term is like the first, so
far as activity is concerned, Gov.
Judson Harmon will be well used up
and probably glad to retire to the
comparatively quiet life OF a railway
receiver and practicing attorney.
From early morning until after mid.
night he was busy man Monday, for
all the exercises planned for iuaug.
ural day were carried out, despite the
coming of a blizzard and the fall OF
snow which covered marching pa.
raiders and spectators. officials and
commoners alike. The dampness
which marked Mondays snow made
the afternoon intensely disagreeable.
Gov. Harmon was sworn into office
at noon, Then he was taken 10 a
carriage and with the aged but sturdy
Gov. Andrew l.. Harris, the retiring
executive, as companion, made the
trip over the principal streets at the
head OF the parade Later, he stood
for an hour with Gov. Harris and
watched the parade go by.
Beginning at s o'clock in the even.
ing, the new governor and the retir.
Ing executive began a series of recep.
tiops with their wives at their sides.
Thousands of people greeted them in
the senate chamber First came the
veterans of the civil war. then the
public generally and lastly state Off.
ciais, legislators and their families.
Then the governors party went TO
the brilliant inaugural ball and again
stood In receiving line, greeting

paid TO the press smoker and then

CANADIAN TREATY
IS SIGNED UP
MUCH TIME WAS SPENT IN PRE-.
PAIRING THE INTERNATIONAL
AGREEMENT.
PROVIDES JOINT COMMISSION
Hoped II Will Serve to Settle Inter
national Difficulties Between
the United States and
Canada.

Washington, Jan. 12.-After a long
period of hard, patient work, that on
some features ran into years, Secre.
tary of State Root and Ambassador
James Bryce of Great Britain Mon.
day night signed a treaty for the set.
tlement of international differences
between the United States and Can.
ada. This is the agreement which
has been popularly alluded to as the
waterways treaty" but its scope is
broader than that designation i'm.
plies, as 1t contemplates disposition
of everything in the nature of differ.
ences between the two countries, and
machinery for questions that may
arise along certain lines in the fu,
ture. Provision is made for a joint
high commission to be made per
manent in character.
Dependent upon the final ratifica
ton of the treaty by the United
States and Great Britain rests the
settlement of numerous complex
questions connected with the water
boundaries along the northern Dor
der which have been the source OF
more or less annoyance at different
times. Included in these are the reg
ulations Of the use Of the waters OF
the great lakes, with the question OF
the diversion OF the waters of these
boundaries, including Niagara Falls
involving the amount of water to be
taken out for power purposes, the
navigation of the st. Johns river be
tween Maine and New Brunswick
and the use of the Milk river in the
northwest.

Cost Of a London Muddy Day

II has been calculated that the
cost of a muddy day in London is
something like $25, 900. This is not
surprising, says Tit-Bits, when one
remembers that no fewer than 80
tons of mud are carried about from
place to place on the wheels of carts
and carriages and horses hoofs.
After q wet day the dry mud brushed
from peoples clothing amounts to
Is tons, and a very similar amount
is shaken out of the door mats.
City mud, however, has its good
points. The shoeblack increases his
earnings in the muddy weather, and
new silk hats and dresses and boots
and shoes are each and all the direct
outcome of its destructive qualities.
