John Marshall Harlan, presiding justice
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States, is today doing what only three
other men have done in the history Of
the country. He is celebrating the close
of thirty-three years service on that
bench.
December 10, 1877. Justice Harlan took
his place on the bench of the Supreme
Court. He was then fortyfOur years of
age. Not only have all the men who
were on the bench during the first years
of his service passed away, but Justice
Harlan's service is now twice as long as
that of any other member of the present
court. OF the siXty-twO men who have
sat on this bench Justice Harlan has
been an associate of twenty-siX.
The three members of the court whose
services exceeded that of Justice Harlan
were Chief Justice John Marshall, JUS
tice Stephen j. Field and Justice Joseph
Story Both Marshall and Field served
more than thirty-four years.
Several months more than seventy
seven years of age, Justice Harlan is
performing today his proportion of the
work of the court. Besides dispoSng of
the business incumbent upon him as
senior associate justice during the va
cancy in the chief justiceship, Justice
Harlan has written six of the thirty
three opinions announced by the court
this term.
The justice today is attending the regu-
lar Saturday conference of the court.
The increased labor imposed on Justice
Harlan as temporary head of the court
has apparently caused no diminution in
his customary dispatch of business. He
DISPLAYS a keenness which causes his
friends to marvel

of Commons.

LONDON, December 1O.-Rear Admira
Vreeland and Rear Admiral Howard and
thirty officers of the second and fourth
divisions of the United States Atlantic

Chancellor Loreburn made a welcoming
speech, during the course of which he
read message from King George.
King Expresses Welcome.
The message was as follows:
THE king wishes to send hearty well
come to the officers and men of the
American squadron. He hopes that ev-
erything will be done to make their stay
in British waters pleasant. His majesty
knows from experience during his serv-
ice af1oat what warm-hearted hospitality
is always shown to the British navy by
their colleagues of the American navy.
Lord Loreburn also read a letter from
Reginald McKenna, first lord Of the ad-
miralty, who is recovering from an at
tack of appendicitis, regretting keenly
that he was unable to attend a gather
ing to which he had looked forward
eagerly, desiring to reciprocate the cor
dial hospitality always shown British
ships in American waters.
Meeting Productive Of Good.
In conclusion the writer said:
Nothing but good can come of the
meeting Of the two navies."
Referring to the inclement weather and
the elections, Lord Loreburn regretted
that the visit had not been made under
more auspicious circumstances. But for
the absorbing political situation every
one prominent in the government would
have been present at the luncheon, he
said. -..

NATIVE DRINKS INJURIOUS.
Gen. Brush Wants Sale to Soldiers in
Philippines Stopped.

The evil effects of native alcoholic
drinks on soldiers in the Philippines is
pointed out in the annual report of Brig.
Gen. Daniel H. Brush, commanding the
Department of the Visayas.
The health Of all troops says Gen.
Brush, will be preserved if by statute
the sale of native alcoholic drinks to SOL
diers be prohibited in all provinces of the
archipelago To be logical, the same in
fuences which have secured legisla ton
prohibiting the sale of beer on a reserva-
ton should secure legislation prohibiting
the sale of native distilled intoxicants to
a soldier even off the reservation
