IMPORTANT SDPEEME COURT DECISION
rfriCIAt, TW.IGRAM TO THE DHPATCn.1
. "WASHLVOTOX.Der.T. Secretary Foster's
physical condition docs cot improve, and
his friends are considerably worried at the
rather stubborn nature of his illness. He
has been sick ever since he returned to
Washington, a day or two after the Cham
ber of Commerce dinner in New York,
which occurred on the 17th of November.
The Secretary caught cold on the evening
of that dinner, or the day before, and his
ailment developed into something that has
been described as the grip. He returned at
once to "Washington, and hat since been
confined to his house. In Xew York he
was attended by Dr. Hamilton, ex-Surgeon
General of the Marino Hospital Sen ice,
now li ing in Chicago.
Dr. Hamilton Constantly at ITand.
Dr. Hamilton returned to "Washington
with Mr. Foster, and has since been in con
stant attendance upon him. To-day he
called in another physician, and both are
filled with anxiety at the fact that the Sec
retary is not as well a asial.
More than a week ago it nas thought that
Secretary Foster would be at his desk with
in a day or two, but as that was found inad
visable, it was arranged that he should go
to Fortress Monroe to recuperate. He has
not been able to do so.howe ver. He is very
weak, and is afflicted with a sort of remit
tent fever that clings to him in spite of the
efforts of the physicians to break it
Dr. Hamilton said to-day that Mr. Fos
ter's condition, while not eerioui, was less
favorable than usual.
The Acting Secretary's Report.
The Secretary has been entirely unable to
pive attention to the work of preparing his
annual report, upon which he was about
ready to begin when he went to New York
to deliver his rpecch at the Chamber of
Commerce dinner. The document, thcre
forewhich will go to Congress along with
the President's message, whenever the
House shall have perfected an organization,
has been put in shape by General Spauhl
ing, the Assistant Secretary, and will be
signed by him as acting Secretary tot the
Treasury.
Secretary Foster wrote the following
lottcr' to Mrs. "William "Windom a few days
ago: "It affords me sincere pleasure to
vresent to you the first silver certificate
bearing the likeness of your illustrious
husband, the late "William Windom, Sec
retary of the Treasury. Few of our public
men who have been similarly honored have
done more to deserve this particular mark
of recognition from the Government, and,as
his successor in office, I feel that it is fittine
to testify in this manner my official
acknowledgement of tlic obligations due to
his'ctistinguished services."
A. GOVEBHOBSHIP AT STAKE.
Tiriefs Filed In the Case of Boyd-Thayer,
of the State of Nebraska
"Washington, Dec. 7. The Boyd-Thayer
case, involving the question of title to the
office of Governor of Nebraska, and of citi
zenship on the part of Boyd, will come up
for argument in the United States Supreme
Court to-morrow. The question at issue is
as to whether or not James E. Boyd was a
citizen of the United States at the date of
election. Briefs of counsel have
been filed. .T. C. Cowin, attorney
for Boyd. in his brief maintains
that his client became a citizen by virtue
of the admission of Nebraska as a State, he
being an inhabitant of the Territory of
Nebraska,and,a member of itB Constitutional
Convention. He contends that the organic
act of admission by providing that the
State should be admitted "upon an equal
footing with the original States in all re
spects whatsoever," together with the
authority conferred upon "the inhabitants"
of Nebraska Territory to form a State
Constitution, operated as a collective natur
alization and admission to citizenship of all
persons in the Territory capable of acquir
ing United States citizenship under the
general policy of the Government.
The brief in behalf of Thayer was pre
pared by John Y. Dillon, John L. "Webster
and Joseph H. Blair. Broadly stated, they
base their assertion of want of citizenship
in Boyd on the ground that an alien cannot
crow into citizenship bv belief or faith and
Dy assuming to ait as a citizen.
KEVEK HAS A DISAGREEMENT.
Pleasant Parting or the President With
Secretary of War Froctor.
"Washington, Dec. 7. The President,
.in accepting the resignation of Secretary
Prcctor. says: "In severing our official re
lations, it gives me great pleasure to re
member that they have been unclouded by
anythbg approaching disagreement or dis
trust Youhae my full confidence, and
your discharge of official duty my full ap
probation. I am glad to know that your
public service is not terminated, but only
transierred to another and, I hope, higher
field of usefulness."
The President will probably send to the
Senate to-morrow the nomination ot the
.uccessor to Mr. Proctor as Secretary of
"War. There is every reason to believe that
the portfolio will go to Lewis A, Grant, of
Minnesota, the present Assistant Secretary
of the Department.

THE SENATE CAUCUSES.
SHERM4-V APPOINTS A COMMITTEE
OX ASSIGNMENTS.
The rrobable Changes In Committees Not
Very Many or Them to Be Made Peffer
to lie dlven a Chance Blair Hard to
Replace. ""
"Washington, Dec. 7. Special "When
the Senate adjourned to-day the Republican
members immediately took seats in the
reception room, ana proceeded in caucus to
provide for the rearrangement of commit
tees. Senator Sherman, the presiding officer
of the caucus, was authorized to appoint a
committee of nine to make the assignments
and report at a subsequent caucus. He
asked time to select the nine, and the meet
ing adjourned.
I-ater in the dav Senator Sherman an
nounced the committee. It is as follows:
Cullom, Chairman; Cameron, Plumb,
Sawyer, Hale, Hawley, Teller, Michell and
Carey.
There is a great struggle going on both
for committee places and for rooms. Aside
from a few of the leading committees, the
Senators are likely to choose their assign
ments in accordance with the rooms, the ob
ject being not to get a room in the Maltby
House, but to stay in the Capitol.
The Consideration of Help.
Another thing to be considered is the
help to bejiad. The leading committee!
hae clerks and messengers who draw fair
salaries all the vear, and act as private
secretaries to the Senators. Tne smaller
committees hae only session clerks, who
aic al& secretaries to" the Senators, lor the
mct of these committees are purely orna
mental. E cry Senator has a secretary, so
that a chairmanship is advantageous only
because a room, which is a Senator's private
ofiice, goes w ith the chairmanship.
There will be no changes on Finance, the
leading committee of the Senate, and but
one on Appropriations, the second in im
portance. For Tarw ell's place on the lat
ter committee there are many candidates,
but the first question to be settled is local
ity The "West is already represented by
Allison, the Chairman, and Plumb, while
the Hist hjs Dawes and Hale. If the Mid
dle States get the place it is likely to go to
Sauator McMillan, of Michigan.
Pefler to Get a Birth.
The vacancy on Agriculture caused by
the retirement of Blair is likely to go to
Pefler.
The hard-working Committee on Claims
will have Mitchell for its chairman, and the
acancv thus caused at the head of Hail-
roads i ill be filled by Casev.
Tiicre are no changes on Commerce. Sena-nt-r
McMillan jumps three places to the
head of the District of Columbia, Ingalls'
old committee. The other vacancies will
nrobablv be filled bv Plumb and Gallinger,
the latter having been on the corresponding
committee in the House
Blair'a retirement leaves a very large
vacancy at the head of Education and
Labor, and there seems to be no well
developed crank to fill the hole. The fact
that the new west entrance to the Capitol is
to rnn throueh Blair's old rooms is an
added reason Iiy the place is likely to go
begging.
Only a Few Other Changes.
Scnitor Stockhridge keeps the fisheries,
but takes the cosy room of the railroads.
This will be the programme unless the
Michigan Senator should happen to go the
Library Committee, for which he is work
ing in common jth Dixon, Higginsand
Wolcott, the latter having the best show.
That archaic statesman, George Frisbie
Hoar, will desert Privileges and Elections
to occupy Mr. Edmunds' old place at the
head of the Judiciary. Thir will bring
Teller to the chairmanship of Privileges
and Elections, and will give Piatt Patents,
is he wants it. The fact that most of the
territories have been made into States may
lead the Connecticut Senator to prefer a
change of committee. These are all the
changes that are likely to occur on the
majority side of the committees.
UNCLE SAM'S "HIGHEST COUBT
Decides a Case of Great Interest to Con
ductors of Passenger Trains.
"Washington, Dec 7. A case of con
siderable interest to railroad trainmen who
have to deal with unruly passengers was
decided in the United States Supreme
Court to-day. James S. H. Jopes, a
passenger on the Xew Orleans and North
eastern Bailway, became engaged in a qnar
rel with the conductor ot the train, who
shot and seriously injured him. Jopes
sued the railroad company for damages.
The testimony as to the circumstances of
the shooting was conflicting. The rail
way company asked that the jury be
instructed that if from the manner and atti
tude of the passenger, the conductor had
reason to fear assault, and shot under the
'belief that he was in imminent danger of
personal injury, the company was not re
sponsible The court denied this request,
and Jopes obtained judgment for $7,000.
This court, iii an opinion by Justice Brewer,
holds that the court below was in error in
refusing to charge the jury,aB requested, re
verses its decision and directs that the case
be sent back to the Mississippi court which
tried It.
Attorney General "William Pinkney to
day asked leave of the United States Su
preme Court to file a bill in chancery in be
half of the State of Maryland against the
State of "West Virginia to settle a dispute
over boundaries. Maryland claims that her
-h estern boundaries is a meridian line run
ning south to the first or most distant fount
of the Potomac, and that Vest Virginia has
wrongfully asserted title to a 'strip
of land several miles wide between
the south branch of the Potomac and
the present generally recognized line.

General Sessions, to-day, to stand trialrfor
attempting to steal a pbeketbook from the
pocket of Mrs. Bose Moonshine, November
'Si, his counsel answered for him, he being
at liberty under 51,000 bail. He said:
"When my client was arrested, as I shall
claim, on a false charge, he was engaged to
be married to a very nice young woman.
This is his wedding day. and the wedding is

now the wedding must be.postponed."
"How long an adjournment do you ask

Macdonald.
"Well, the usual length of the honey
moon," answered Kwetek's counsel.
"The eflect of this request, Your Honor,"
said Mr. Macdonald, smiling, "is that Your
Honor is called upon judicially to determine
the proper length of a honeymoon."
"And that I certainly do not propose to
do," rejoined Recorder Smyth. "This

JOHN L. KNOCKED OUT
By Ashton, After Being Crippled by
John Barleycorn.
THE SLUGGER WAS VERY DRUNK,
But in a Sober Moment Vowed That He
Would Soon '
i
TRY THE Bf-CIIhORIDE TREATMENT
San Fbaxcisco, Dec 7. Special
John L. Sullivan departed for Southern
California this morning in a state of help
less drunkenness. He came to the ferry boat
in a hack and was lugged on board like a
sack ot wheat. Sullivan bore evidence of
having been in a fight, and it is stated that
he and Ashton had one in San Salito yester
day. One thing is certain, Ashton was not
around to help Sullivan this morning, and
John L. looked as if he had been badly
used.
Ashton and Sullivan got into an alterca
sion over their cups. Ashton was, compara
tively speaking, sober; John L. was drnnk.
"Words led to blows, and the big fellow was
knocked down. He arose and a rough and
tumble fight ensued, in which Ashton got
far the better of it. Friends rnshed in and
separated the pair, and John L. was finally
persuaded to go home. His cheek was
marked and claret was drawn from his nose.
Ashton remained, in Son Salito and enjoyed
himself for the rest of the day. He and
Sullivan have not met since, but when they
do and John L. is sober there may be war.
Sullivan was drunk nearly all last week,
but managed to sober up every night for
theatrical performances. He seems to have
completely lost his grip since the failure to
get on a match with Slavin.
The Slugger Will Try lJl-Chlorlde.
A Chicago special to The Dispatch
says: John L. Sullivan, champion pugilist
of America, will play his next important
engagement at Dwight, Hi. This' time Dr.
Lester C. Keeley will act as his manager.
The great and only John L. will each morn
ing bare his great arm and receive his daily
injection of bi-chloride of gold. He will
be under the same restrictions as other
patients, and his disease for it has been
proved that drunkenness is a disease it is
expected will gracefully yield to the gentle
influences exerted by Dr. Keeley's inspirit
ing cure.
Sullivan's trip to the antipodes was not a
howling success financially The American
champion did not draw "like a three-ring
circus in the big Australian towns, and he
returned to San Francisco sore in heart and
poor in pocket. For CO days John has held
in check his appetite for rum. When he
landed on California's hospitable shores his
troubles began. He was sued for debt and
his show did not draw. Then he became
careless, and the newspapers touched him
np with no gentle hand. All of this
brought on one of his bad spells. He
drowned his rage at his ill success in the
wine cup, and appeared on the stage in a
state of intoxication.
He Was After the Critical Gang.
One night, while the forge scene was on,
he picked up a heavy sledge hammer and
commenced a tirade against the newspapers.
Carried away by his excitement he staggered
to the footlights, and in a voice that was in
terrupted every now and then by a hiccough
offered to "do up" any critic in the crowd.
He also shook his fist at the "gods" and de
nounced them in unmeasured terms.
His conduct off the stage was even worse,
and things finally came to such a pass that
his backers, Charlie Johnson and Jimmie
Wakeley, threatened to withdraw their
support and disband the show. Sullivan
had heard of the wonderful cures performed
at Dwight. Turning to Duncan B. Harri
son he said: "I say, Dune, this guy Keeley
is putting some of- the boys on the right
road. The Doo says drunkenness is a dis
ease That hits me between the eyes bully,
and 1 wouldn't mind giving his treatment a
crack. "What do you think of the scheme,
old man?"
Harrison thought it was a good suggestion,
and at once arranged matters with Johnson.
The troupe will play its way across the
Continent, close its season a few weeks in
advance, and Sullivan will place himself
under Keeley's treatment. After he leaves
Dwight he will go into training for his
meeting with Slavin.

A 7AX0U8 COUBT HOUSE.
Mr. Cohen, ot Baltimore, Pays a FIn
Compliment to the Local Building.
Mendes Cohen, one of tha directors of the
Pittsburg and Connellsville road, spent
yesterday afternoon in company with
General Koontz, noting the improvements
in Pittsbnrg. Mr. Cohen formerly was
superintendent of the road and lived in the
city. He was surprised at the wonderful
growth of the town, and was much pleased
with the new buildings. "Pittsburg has s
famous Court House," he said. "I think it
is one of the finest buildings in the world.
If you had no other structures here, the
Temple of Justice would have a reputation
abroad, I do not think much of the Gov
ernment building. It is like the one in
Baltimore. The sameness about Uncle
Sam's buildings detract from them."
On the other hand Architect Pattison
claims the Conrt House tower is not in
keeping with the balance of the building.
He says the new postofSce must be studied
and examined in detail to be appreciated.
The work and design are yery artistic
Plan for Enlarging the Sehlosser.
C L. Carstairs, of Philadelphia, and T.
B. McCormick, of Mansfield, two of the
Patterson heirs and owners of the Sehlosser
Hotel building, were in the city yesterday.
An architect had prepared plans for en
larging the hotel on an elaborate scale, and
a consultation was held with Mr. Sehlosser
about the proposed changes. It is intended
to pnt another story on the house and take
in the building now occupied by Joseph
Home & Co. No conclusion was reached
yesterday. Mr. Carstairs went to Chicago
last evening, but Mr. McCormick will re
main over to-day to canvass the subject
further. Both gentlemen were reticent
about what would be done, but they de
clared that the hotel would certainly be en
larged and improved.

recommended an appropriation of $22,000.
At the request of the employes of the
