Chief Justice Reese in dissenting, attacks
that section Of the criminal law relating TO
murder in the first degree and says the
courts might as well construe it to read
as follows: IF any person shall in the per-
petration or attempt to perpetrate any
rape. arson, robbery or burglary or by ad-
rninistering poison or causing the same to
be done, kill another, every person so Of
Tending shall be guilty OF murder in the
first degree"
He said: by this construction all idea
OF purpose or intent to kill, and all idea
Of deliberate and premeditated malice are
effectually eliminated. He asserts that this
rule is barbarous. Judge sedgwick con-
Cured in this.

Demurrer I'm Liquor Cases.
Attorneys for the Burlington and Union
Pacific railroads have filed briefs in the
supreme court in answer to the suit of the
attorney general for an injunction to pre-
vent the sale of liquor on the dining cars
of the trains operated by these companies.
The companies argued that the court had
no jurisdiction TO attempt to enforce a
criminal statute by proceedings in equity.
The argued that the petition filed by the
attorney general made no averment Of any
pecuniary injury to the citizens of the
state nor any rights of property to be
protected
Both roads demurred to the petition of
the legal department of state, but insist
the demurrer is only intended to present
the legal issue defined for decision and it's
admission of the allegations are not made
with any other end in view and the rights
to take issue on the facts should the court
hold it has jurisdiction are not waived.
Both roads set up that liquor is served
for the benefit of passengers, who in
nearly every instance are through travellers.

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Perfect Quiet Now Said to Prevail at
Lisbon, Portugal.

Perfect Quiet Now Said to Prevail at
Lisbon, Portugal.
Although Lisbon remains under
martial law, pending a reorganization
Of the administration, the soldiers
have been gradually withdrawn from
the streets. The people have re.
sumed their business occupations and
perfect tranquility prevails.
The government has announced that
the Irish Dominican fathers and nuns,
who have conducted a school there for
many years, will be exempted from
the order of expulsion. This step
doubtless is due to the desire of the
republicans to keep on good terms
with Great Britain.
The casualty list from the recent
fighting falls below the most mode9-
crate of previous estimates. The off.
cial estimate gives the number killed
as between 100 and 100 Unofficial es-
Inmates place the number still lower.
The provisional government has
taken possession Of the houses of sew
eral religious bodies. No opposition
was met with. 1t has been decided
to issue 4 decree enforcing compul-
sorry military service.
