Justice Ilbirhin i»xjiecta to return to \Va#hin#f- ton Boon. When asked concerning tiic 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* of the recent term the number was a Hi tic over tiOO, ind thin included sin It eases as came up on the docket dnri* g the term. After a fi*«v years, probably 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.” COVEY INLAND Sl’ORTS.

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. The Day at Kiel.
