present condition f the calendar of the
Supreme Court, which for years his
been overcrowded, and if the recent ic>;-
isbition would help the judges dispose
of the (|ueatio)tH now before them, he
replied:
“.Ninny cases which, under the pre¬ Uir-
vious system, were taken from the
cult Courts of the I'tilted States, di
reetly to the Supreme Court of the Uni¬
ted Stall's, now to the Court# of
Appeals for titnl le lston. Before* nuinboi tne
present system was adopted, the
of cases on the docket flt the Supreme
Court at the close of * aeh term was
l»efv|een 000 and 1,000. At the ek>M*

after three years, mile## on- jurisdiction
be greatly enlarged, the court will be
able, under the present system, by the
• lose of each term, tc> dispone »f ;,II the
1 ases that are on its docket at the be
Kl lining of tlie term. As to what amfl-
flonal bfrislatton is required, it is ditfi-
'•iilt to say. In one respect there ought
to be a cirauge. Under tlie existing laws
many criminal cases get to the Supreme
Court that ought to jro to the Circuit
Courts of Appeal and be there finally
determined. In another particnlir, the
present statutes are very defective A
man convicted in a State court of crime
against the laws of the State, may pre¬
sent to a Circuit Court of the United
States an application for a writ of ha¬
beas corpus, claiming that he is re¬
strained of his liberty in violation of
tiie Constitution of the United States.
The Circuit Court may deny the applica¬
tion upon the ground that no Federal
right, has been Invaded by the proceed¬
ings in the State court. The applicant
then prosecutes a writ of error, or ap¬
peal to the Supreme Court of the Uni¬
ted States. Sow tho existing statutes
forbid anything being done in execution
of judgment of a State court until 'the
matter is disposed of in the Supreme
Court of the United States. Many eases
have been brought to our court in tills
inode, when there was no reason wbat-
ever to say that the State law or the
proceedings in the State courts involved
•i nv violation of the Federal Constitu¬
tion. Applications have been made for
writs of habeas corpus for tin* purpose
only of delaying proceedings in the State
•onrts. The claim that a Federal right
has been invaded has been in many
eases a fraudulent pretense to Kitin
time. Such proceedings interfere with
the due administration by the States
of their criminal law's. It Is to be hoped
that the present law will be so changed
that no writ of error will lie from an
order of a Circuit Court of the TTnitfd
States, refusing a writ of habeas cor¬
pus. in favor of one convicted in the
State courts of crimes against State
’aw unless such error is allowed by the
Supreme Court of the United States, or
some justice of the Supreme Court.”

Mr. Blackwell, of Massachusetts, called
for tin endorsement of woman suffrage,
which called forth loud cries of "No,’

arraigning the Democratic party for not
taking action in regard to the Armenian
atrocities. The resolutions began to
pour in like rain, us fast as the clerk
could read them. They provided for
sympathy with Cuba, for pensions for
the workingmen, for free silver and for
almost everything else which conven¬
tions discuss. Frank H. Bear, of Okla

tonnage tax. S. K. Jones, a colored

l’rcsidcut Tracy declared the point oT
order not well taken.
A silver resolution was presented by
Slate Senator Vanillin, of Colorado. An
effort to stop till* flood of resolut'C'l.s
precipitated a discussion. Congressman
Robinson, chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, protested against the
further presenting of resolutions, which
were only duplications of ones already
introduced. The committee would never

its report within the allotted time. Tlie

The proceedings were interrupted by
a Hjieeeh of General McAlpin, after
which the convention adjourned until
tomorrow without reaching a vote on
th" choice of a secretary.
A few minutes after the convention
adjourned the committee on resolutions
completed its labors and was ready to
report. The report was not a surprise.
As was predicted, it leaves everything
to the next national convention. Neither
the money question nor the tariff ques¬
tion are even remotely referred to. The
report is bused on an article of the N'n-

provides that the league shall not tned-
dl" in any way with affairs which were
properly within the province of the
party convention. This rule is No. !l and

Jacksonville, Fin.. Juno 31.—A special
to the Times-Union from Fornniulin.i.
F in., says: Lieut. C. C. Fengnr, com¬
mander of the revenue steamer Bout-
well, having removed to non cell with hm

today in regard to the desperate effort
made in a Jacksonville paper today to

he had only a nebulous i 1 •> i that Fen-

Lieut. Fengar did not hesitate to
speak in the most positive nnd indignant
terms. and signed his statement. It will
be ormerveu that in contradiction not a
signed statement appears, and it would
seem that signed statements could hav
lieen tts easily obtained ns unsigned ones.
if there had lieen any to get. No tit-
tempt is made to snltstantinte the ..rigi-
nal assertion that the English ofheer he-
eame indignanf. It is known that the
revt-nne officers always hoard vessels in
the manner stated by Fengar.
T. 0. Borden, vice consul, says lie did
not say that it is not. or has not been-
the custom for revenue officers to board
vessels in that way. Possibly tlie do-
partnre of Fengar from Fernandina was
takon advantage of to substantiate a
stoiw which he had branded as false

After lunclioon tlie
rinpes and at 1:13 )>. m.. drove io
Flbe, where they embarked <>n a steam¬
er and made a round of the harbor.
Thev were loudly cheered, Tho parly
returned at 2:30 p. m. to await the ar¬
rival of the Kaiser.
The Kaiser arrived sjt 4:15 at the
Dnmmthor station, accompanied by the a
numerous retinue. A company of
Hiimlmrp regiment with hand and ban¬
ners. rendered military lmnors at tlie
station where also tlie entire senate nnd
lmrpomasters of the republic and Hans
City, of Hamburg, were in atfendnnee.
After the reception at the station the
company was driven in open state car-
riapt-s throuph tlie principal streets of
Hamlmrp. All of the German rulc-rs,
with the exception of the Kaiser, drove
throuph the principal streets to the har¬
bor, where they viewed the assembled
war ships, They were continually
cheered by the people who lined the
route.
The Fmperor. in the uniform of the
Cuirassier, and wearing rihbons and
decoration of Black Eagle, drove throuph
the city in an open carriage with out¬
riders. The Imperial carriage Wnndesbcck was pro¬
ceeded by a section of the
Hussars, the remainder of which fol¬
lowed a second carriage containing tlie
Imperial princes. Following these car¬
riages were a number of vehicles in the
Emperor’s suite, His Majesty was
greeted with tremendous cheering.
The German kings did not follow the
Emoeror, but drove to their respective
quarters after having visited the har¬
bor .
At about half past (i o'clock a ban¬
quet commenced in the banqnetting ball
which still is unfurnished, of the newly
built. Rathliause, which was temporarily
decorated today.
At the banquet, after the toasts, the
burgomaster, Dr. Lehmann, attired
in a black gown with white ruffles,
arose and addressed the Emperor and
the other sovereigns. He made a long
deliberate speech, keeping the Emper¬
or ar.d kings standing with their
glasses in their hands. He wound
up his talk by declaring that the ca¬
nal was the greatest German enter¬
prise and the occasion of its opening
the most notable event in the history
of Hamburg. The city had never be¬
fore seen such an illustrious assem¬
bly as were now its guests. He then
drank to the German Emperor and the
German princes.
The Emperor returned thanks in an
uncommonly guarded manner. His
reply was mild and careful, and of
comparative shortness. He said he
did not presume to accept the wel¬
come which it was patent was not ar¬
tificial. but spontaneous, for himself,
but which was for all the German
sovereigns surrounding him. The ca¬
nal was a great work of peace. "There
are,” he added, “seas that divide and
seas that unite. This canal unites
two great seas for commercial and de¬
fensive purposes.” At this instant
the iron-dad power of United Europe,
lying in Kiel harbor, was the best,
self-evident proof of granted peace.
A heavy thunder storm interrupted
the outdoor festivities at 9 o’clock,
hut Us cessation allowed them to be
resumed at 10 o’clock. The Emperor
and his kingly guests boarded the
Kaiser Adler at 11 o’clock, and steam,
ed slowly down the Elbe. Fireworks
were then soaring skyward from both
sides of the river, and at various
points bands were playing in private
and public grounds, The people
cheered themselves hoarse as the ves¬
sel bearing the Emperor and other
sovereigns passed. The Kaiser Adler
passed the Finkemvarder lightship on
*he stroke of midnight. The fireworks
display at Blankensee was spoiled by
the rain.
