I‘RANCE AND RUSSIA WITH US]? \Vill Lend Support on Venezuela—eBrewor ' For the Commission. VIENNA, Dec. 31.-—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Neue Freie Presse promised diplomatic support of the United States in the Venezuelan trouble, and that Russia is prepared to facilitate the United States loan with her own gold rc- serve. A Supreme Court Runner. WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The,Venezue- lan flurry is likely to do still more damage in an indirect way. The criticisms which have. been passed upon the prospective commission and its undefined duties and the suggestion in some newspapers of a probability that it will‘be “packed” for a purpose have—put the president upon his mettle; and he is resolved to cut 011' fur- ther adverse comment, if possible, by ap- pointing as chairman of the commission a judge of the United States supreme court. This is a purely sentimental considera- USTICE BREWER. tion, founded upon the idea of giving a certain dignity to the commission which it would not possess, in the judgment of some persbns, if only ordinary man, with ordinary legal training and ordinary con- victions of duty. were appointed. But the supreme court can ill afford to be crippled at this juncture by the with- drawal of one of its judges. The death of Judge Blatchford dealt it a serious blow, and its business, already far behind, .was impeded by the long war between the presi- dent and his factional fees in the senate who refused to allow either Mr. Hornblow- er’s or Wheeler H. Pcckham’s nomination to be confirmed. When finally the bench was restored to its normal condition by the appointment of Judge White, the ill- ness of Judge Jackson reduced it again to eight members till the rehearing of the income tax case, when J udgc Jackson dragged himself to his place for a few days in defiance of the judgment of biophysi- cians. His death followed soon, and cases which have been repeatedly postponed be- cause of the desire of counsel to argue them only before a. court competent to dis- pose of the legal questions decisively have had to be side tracked again. Now, just ' as Judge Rufus Peckham is about to take his place and fill the bench once more, along comes the Venezuela commission. Expressions of hope are heard on all sides among lawyers having business with the supreme court that he will find some other way of getting out of his scrape and be induced to give up the supreme court judge idea, but his heart is so set on this that there is little chance of his abandon- ing it now. . Later.—-It is rumored that Justice Brewer of the supreme court has been ten- dered and has accepted a place on the Venezuelan commission. , Big St. Bernard Dea'd.
