Governor Blease on Wedens lav
sent another message to the legisla-
ture, relative to the special judge con-
troversy. The message was a lengthy
and elaborate argument in support of
the Governors views on the que stion
in Issue. but calm and dispassionate
in tone throughout. Taking it all in all
1t Is the most statesmanlike and credi-
table paper that has yet appeared
over the governors signature, and he
will do well to model all his messages
on this plan. In another column we
print synopsis Of this message, lack

appears to the writer that Governor
Blease has made out his case. Unless
he has misquoted the law, upon which
be bases his argument, there Is no
apparent flaw in his reasoning and
his conclusion is sound and logical.
Our sympathies are not with the gov
ernor in this matter, for we seriously
question the wisdom Of committing in
to the hands Of any one mar, the abb
solute power to appoint a judge -
preside over any court, even for /. spe-
cial term. but under d reasonable con-
struction of the constitution, this
power seems to rest solely with the
governor, as Governor Blease contends

NEGRO SUSPECT IS
 KILLED BY POSSE
MAN THOUGHT To HAVE KILLED BRAKEMAN WILLIAMS IS
 RIDDLED WITH BULLETS.
Fusitive's Hiding Place Is Located Through Confession of Companion
 to Whom He Sold Pistol.

Des Are. Ark.-Paul Thomas. ne gro, thought to be the slayer of a railroad brakeman named Williams at Carlisle on the night Of February II. was riddled with bullets by a posse of seven men on the east side of White river, near here.
 Tbe dead negro had been staying with River George white man, and bachelor, on the banks of the river, for several days. Recently he sold a pistol to another negro IF whom he confided and to whom he made the statement that he fired the shot that killed Williams.
 The negro to whom the informa- tion was given notified the officers here and a posse formed and started for the place of his hiding. When nearing the house of the hermit, Thomas made dash for liberty, and when called upon to halt did not heed the command. He was fired upon and fell, riddled with shot.
 A killing at Biseo some time ago is laid at the door of the dead negro, and a similar charge is said to be against him at Memphis. The Mem phis officials were notified and an officer is expected from that place to identify the remains.

St. Petersburg, Russia.-The Retch states that Kulja, 4S miles over the frontier in the Iii region of Chinese Turkestan, is to be occupied in ac- cordance with the decision arrived at by the government because of Chinas persistent disregard of the treaty of 1881. Under the terms of that treaty Russia agreed to evacuate the Hi re zion, which it occupied in 1871, on condition that she receive consular and commercial privileges t Mongo- lia and Manehuria
 Russia has become irritated over China's persistent violation Of the terms of this treaty and this feeling has been greatly aggravated by con- stant attempts on the part of China to disregard provisions of other treaties
 Surmise is busy with the probable attitude of the United States if Rus sia carries out her threats to China. The Chinese declare that Russia's vio- lation of the secret Russo-Chiness agreement of 1896 has been far gray CT than Chinas alleged nonobsery- ance of the treaty of 1881.
 They say the United States has all the data relating to this aspect of the dispute and that China is willing to refer 1t to an international tribunal.

FaVors Bill to Restrict Justices.
 The judiciary committee has rec commended to the house the passage of House Bill No. POT, by RepreseG. tative Faucette, to restrict the juris- diction of justices of the peace anal create a municipal court The bill was amended to apply only to cities of the first class and to exclude Polk, Craighead and Washington counties. The original intention of the bill is to discourage the justice courts in Pulaski county by abolishing the fee system. The police court is abol- ished and the municipal court given concurrent jurisdiction with the jus tice court in all civil and criminal cases and exclusive jurisdiction in all violations of ordinances. The municipal judge is placed upon a sal ary and provision is made for change of venue to the municipal court from any justice court simply by the de- fendant filing his affidavit that he cannot get justice In the justice court. The justice of the peace is also prohibited from taking claims for collection where his fees are de pendent upon the result of the suit.
