One Cent. Absolutely Independent. MONDAY, APRIL 27 189’. WASHINGMWHISPERS The Hearing of the Sayward Case Postponed to Oct. 19. THE POINTS TO BE ARGUED. WASHINGTON, April 27.-—The supreme court of the United States has postponed the hearing of the Sayward case until Oct. 19, owing to the illness of Justice Bradley, the full bench being desired to hear a case or such importance. The attorney gener- al’s brief for the United States will prob- ably be submitted Monday. The principal points Of the argument will be: Prohibi- tion will not issue after sentence unless the w ant of jurisdiction is disclosed on the face of the proceedings; the final record is the face of proceedings and full jurisdiction to enter a decree of condemnation against Sayward there appears; there was evidence sufficient to support the decree showing seal killing within the three mile limit; the seizure, wherever made, could not in- validate the proceedings, because the ille- gality was waived by the owner by filing hit; claim and pleading to its merits; be- cause the illegal seizure does not connect itself with the proceedings so as to annul it; because seizure on the high seas for municipal offense is lawful; the jurisdic- tion of the Alaska court is coterminous in the Behring sea with the jurisdiction of the United States in the same waters; the territorial jurisdiction is a political ques- tion, and this court is concluded by the ac- tion of the executive and congress thereon in decision that the Unit-ed States has j uris— diction over the waters where the Sayward was seized. The argument will hold that the Alaska court having jurisdiction over the offense alleged, and over the claimant by volun- tary appearance, its finding that seal kill- in g was committed within the jurisdiction of the United States is conclusive and can- not be impeached. On the other side counsel for the Cana- dian petitioners in their argument for granting the writ contend that the issuing 'Of writs of prohibition is part of the appels late jurisdiction of the supreme court of the United States, and that it must revise and review the proceedings of the inferior court of admiralty. They cite authorities and insist that upon these and upon the principles of common sense it must be ad- mitted that a superior court has power, right and duty to examine all matters touching the question of jurisdiction which were before the lower court, and that it cannot be held that in case where jurisdic- tion of court is involved a superior court can solemnly adjudicate from a view of one part of the proceedings—that the court below had or had not jurisdiction—when by turning a leaf in its record the contrary would conclusively appear. It is also maintained that by recognized principles of international law the territorial waters of each nation and its municipal jurisdic tion on high seas is limited to three miles, or a marine league, from shore. The United States, it is insisted, has uniformly insisted on this rule, while the Sayward was fifty-nine miles from land when seized and was therefore exempt from jurisdic- tion of the United States, its laws and its courts. Redemption Discontinued. \VASIIINGTON, April 27.—Secretary Foster has issued a circular discontinuing the re- demption of 4% per cent. bonds. It reads: “With a view to reserving the residue of the 4% per cent. loan for adjustment with- in the fiscal year which begins on the first day of July next, public notice is hereby given that redemptions of the bonds of that loan will be discontinued for the present, and the circular of Oct. 9, 1890, under which such redemptions have been made, is hereby rescinded. Due public notice will hereafter be given of the action of the department withrespect to the said 4% per cent. bonds.” Under the circular $15,970,000 4% per cent. bonds have been re— decmed,the redemptions Saturday amount— ing to $29,400. Miss Couzins’ Status. WASHINGTON, April 27.——The treasury department officials state the question 01 Miss Phoebe Couzins’ status cannot come before them until the vouchers for April’s salary list of the \Vorld’s fair commission are presented to them. Then if there are two vouchers of separate people for the same position the treasury may be called; upon to decide which one is the correct: voucher. The opinion is expressed in high. official quarters that it would seem un— ususal if the lady managers could not have as secretary one who was acceptable to them all. “’heeler’s Application Rejected. WASHINGTON, April 27.——Assistant Sec— retary Chandler has affirmei‘! the decision of the commissioner of the general land office on the appeal of Harvey G. I’Vhecler, rejecting his application to make pre-emp» tion filing for a tract of land in Seattle, Wash, on the ground that the validity of .1 the selection in 1870 by the territory of , Washington for school purposes was not ' attacked, and that it was not alleged that ' the tract was not subject to selection when it was made.

No More Evictions of Strikers’ Families Took Place Saturday. SCOTTDALE, Pa, April 27.—There were no evictions of strikers’ families in the coke region Saturday. Up to 2p. m. all was reported quiet. The increased ship- ments of coke justify the claims of the operators of large gains in the number of workmen. Several of the evicted families have gone into camp near Bradford in tents. The families are very comfortable. The strikers are now arguing the proprie- ty of their demand for an eight hour work- day and will probably not insist on this concession. Twenty armed deputies were sent to the Calumet works. One hundred and twenty eviction notices were served on the strikers at Trotter Saturday evening. Every family living at Morgan and Summitt has received similar writs. It is stated that there will be large importations of workmen next week. A Mount Pleasant special says that Sheriff Clawson has gone to Pittsburg for the purpose of securing more guards and to purchase guns and ammunition. It Is believed that an effort will be made to start the big Standard works this week, and that guards and guns are wanted for the protection of workmen at that place. Be fore leaving the sheriff posted a proclama- tion at the important plants warning the strikers to keep away from company prop- erty. PITTSBURG, April 27.—Mr. H. C. Frick ridicules the story published in the morn- ing papers to the effect that some of the striking Hungarians from the coke region were seeking to do him personal injury or blow up his residence in this city with dynamite. He has no fear that anything of this nature will be attempted. Mr. Frick’s advices from the coke region say the outlook is brighter than at any time since the strike. One hundred and fifty—two men are working at Leisenring No. 2, while the forces at Morewood and Adelaide works are also largely increased. Trouble Brewing in the East. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27,—Diplomatic circles in this city are much exercised over an event which it is feared will lead to grave complications in the always delicate relations existing between the Russian government and the Sublime Porte. It transpires that in a note addressed by M. N elidoif, the Russian ambassador to Tur- key, in regard to the recent detention by the Ottoman officials on April 13 in the Dardanelles of the steamer Nishni—Novgo— rod, belonging to the Russian volunteer fleet, which vessel was being used under the mercantile flag as a transport for military workmen proceeding to Vladivostock to be employed in the construction of a. trans- siberian railway, the Russian ambassador emphatically declared that henceforth his embassy would be obliged to take inde- pendent action to assure the undisputed passage of the Dardanelles by the merchant vessels of his country. In reply to this very positive communication the porte re- torted that should the course suggested by M. Nelidoif be carried into effect other powers than Turkey might feel called upon to take the subject into serious consider- ation. She Was a Poisoner. APPLETON, Wis, April 27,—VVilhelmina Baeber, of the town of Washington, came into court here Saturday and pleaded guilty to having poisoned Michael Sell on the 25th day of November, 1889. Last No- vember the husband of Wilhelmina Baeber told his eldest daughter that a year before his wife had poisoned her father by put- ting paris green in his food, and that a few months previously Baeher himself had killed his eighteen-months—old son. He was afraid his wife was going to kill him and he intended to kill himself. An hour afterward he hanged himself. His daugh— ter at once told the story and the defend— ant was arrested. She admitted her guilt, and said she did it- to get rid of, the old man, who was living with them. She made application in writing to receive sen- tence, and was sent to \Vaupun for life.
