Churchill for tlio Uodda IB now making his
argument In answer to the contentions
raised by Attorney Montgomery In bohalt
of Holmes and Quhcy , nnd a continuance
for still another day has been taken to allow
him to finish.
The gist of Mr. Churchill's argument Is
that the statute of 1881 , passed subsequently
to the opinion of Judge Lake In the Ellia
npalnst Karl case , and expressly conferring
upon the Judge the power "to hear and de
termine , " to subject to the general rule of
construction that rccosnlzes the Investment
of powera by Implication ; In short , that If
tlio Judge In empowered "to hear and do-
tcrmlno" ho Is by Implication given the
power to carry out the orders necessary for
the determination of controversies. Inci
dentally ho traces bark thu right of habeas
corpus to KiiKllah law , going even
anterior to Mngna Charta , and he
reasons that a judge In chambers during
vacation haa the same common ln\v and
equity povers as a court in session , the
habeas corpus act being mandatory and Its
command to the Judge compelling Immediate
compliance. As a basis for the Implied
powers derived from the common law he
gives the history of the Important statute of
31 Charles It , Into \hlch the penalties for
the carrying out of the habeas corpus right
were put.
Judge Scott admits that this Is the most
Impoitant question over brought before him
and the most far-reaching. He has , there
fore , asked for written briefs , accompanied
by the decisions and authorities referred by
the opposing attorneys , and promises to
render \irltten opinion. Mr. Churchill
proposes to stand upon several Important
United States supreme court decisions as
to the construction of statutes and the defi
nitions of terms.

LONDON , Aug. 17. In the queen's bench
division of the hlh court of Justice today
Justlco Wright acquitted Earl do la Wan
and Mr. Dioadley of the charge of contempt
of court In an alleged attempt to induce
Krnest Terah Hooley , the bankrupt com
pany promote ! , to falsify his evidence In
the bankruptcy court The learned Judge
said , however , that both weio blamable
and ho mulcted them In costs.
Justice Wright said that , while he must
absolve Earl do la Warr of the charge ol
bilbcry , bo must hold that the earl had
wrongly tried to Induce Mr. Hooley to cor
rect some statements made by him In the
bankruptcy proceedings and had wioiiEfullj
piomlsed lo help Mrs. llooloy. .Mr. Hooley
the judge said , ought not to be regarded as
n mere liar , scattering statements and ar <
cusatlona without foundation , ns had beet
suggested by the respondents , but , ni 01
the witness stand hovas rash , reckless and
inaccurate , appearing some times to be suf
fering from Illusions in a hopeless atteirii
lo disentangle the true from the false , hi :
evidence was unsafe to act upon , cspeclnll )
In a caao ot such Importance. Mr. Brad-
show's cvtdenco as to Earl do la Warr' !
proposal to help Mrs. Hoaley was remark-
nhlo , although Mr. Uradshaw had no cause
to testify falsely. It must be remembered I
the Judge continued , that the eail had ar
overwhelming motive for obtaining Mr
Hooley's retraction , IIo could not hellevi
that It was out of more charity that Ear
do la Wnri had piomUod Mrs. Hooley JC1.COO
On the contrary , ho was forced to the con
rltiHlon that the promise was connected will
the earl's strong and natural desire to cleai
himself from Hooley'a accusations. Never
thclcss , he acquitted Earl do la Wnrr o
the Imputation of Inducing Mr. Hooley t <
testify falsely ,
With regard to the alleged bribery , hi
could not wholly absolve Earl de la Warr
With regard to the money the earl received
possibly the latter belle veil It was receive *
for services rendered or as a gift fron
Hooley. The Judge Bald ho supposed tha
was generally the way names were paid for
but as these proceedings were only Intendci
to vindicate justice. It would bo a sufflclon
punishment for Earl do la Warr's Indiscre
tion If the court ordered him to pay costs.
With icfcrcnco to Mr. Broadlcv's ease
Justlco Wright considered him , ho said
much more guilty In at-UIng Mr. Hoolc ;
falsely to say that ho made a retractloi
without rommunlcatlUK with Karl du h
V > i\n. Hroadtey was guilty of aubornatloi
of perjury , and while he ( the Judge ) wag li
doubt whether ho ought not to deal ver ;
differently with Mr. IlroaiUoy , he had con
eluded to mnko the MDIB order In Ilroadley's
cnao as In Carl de la Warr's.

DESIGNING SHIPS FOR NAVY
Ptirnoxe to Construct Sonic Which
Hxoel Any Flighting
Craft Afloat.
CHICAGO , Aug. 17 A special to the
Record from Washington says : The
Navy department will ask congress to au-
thoilzo the construction of the largest and
most formidable battleships and cruisers
alloat , vessels without equals In any foreign
fleets and Incomparably superior In power ,
speed aud endurance to any of the magnifi
cent ships which a few weeks ago de
stroyed Ccrvcra's squadron This decision ,
reiched at a mealing of the Naval Board
of Construction , will bo urged upon congress
for prompt action , supported by arguments
of the most convincing character. The
subject was taken up at the direction ot
Secretary Long , who desired to have a
building program thoroughly considered and
agreed upon by the highest technical ex-
peits In the service for presentation to the
legislative branch of the government In De-
comber. The board practically agreed to
begin the design of three battleships be
tween 13,000 and 14,000 tons displacement ,
with at least nineteen knots maintained
speed It was also determined to recom
mend three first-class cruisers of about 12-
000 tons and of not less than twenty-two
knots speed. In addition to these , a class
of protected and partly armored cruisers
of between 5,000 and 0,000 tons as well as
a ne\\ class of 2,500-ton cruisers Is to be
designed. The battleships will be designed
to whip any fighting vessels In the world ,
of whatever class , and the cruisers are to
bo more formidable than any vessels of
their speed up to this time In Europe. The
board made no reference to torpedo boats ,
and Is not disposed to recommend any fur
ther Increase of the fifty-one vessels ot
that type now bulh or authorized.

NEW VIADUCT ON SIXTEENTH

Ilrlilftr Over the Truck * .
rrciildenl ninsham of the city council ,
who Introduced the resolution which In-
Rtructs the city engineer to draw up plans
and specifications for a new Sixteenth street
viaduct , and which was passed , has no Idea
regarding the structure except that It should
be of the most modern and Improved t > pe ,
that It should be built In such a way that
the present viaduct can be kept open for
traffic until Its completion and that work
upon It should commence as speedily as
poss'blo.
" \Vo ought to have a first-class structure
of the most modern t > pe , " he declares.
"We Lave had makeshift viaducts foisted
on us too long. The present viaduct can
e Kept open while the new one Is being
iullt , and I shall Insist that this method
ie cmplocd , as the southsldc residents
ave waited too long for the opening of
Ixteenlh street to have It further closed
or a long period while the viaduct Is bclug
ullt. "
Cttj councllmcn are pretty nearly unani
mous In the opinion that the railroads be
rodded on energetically to commence the
onstructlon of the viaduct In the Imme-
late futuie. While the present structure
may not be dangerous now , It will not be
eng before It Is City Engineer Ilosevvater
s not In the city , but Assistant Stcngcr Is
rgcnt that the new viaduct should be
tarted soon.
"When the repairs on the viaduct wire
made , It was stated that they would suffice
inly until the exposition Is over , " ho says.
It Is only two months until this time ex-
Ires and probibly some more repairs will
ie needed to keep the viaduct safe. It Is
nquestlonably In very bad condition. Of
: ourse , It might bo kept In a fairly safe
: ondltlon If nn Inspector to examine It were
mployed all the time and repairs were
made as they were needed , hut that would
10 dscidedly expensive , and the city has
ot the funds with which to pay for this
ixpcnse. Wo ought to have a new viaduct
f the most approved tjpo at once. It
hould have a concrete or an asphalt pave
ment or It will be continually In need of
epalrs like the Tenth and Eleventh street
laducts. Even with the repairs that were
made on the latter two structures their
oadbeds are always rough. This defect
: an only bo remedied by laying a smooth ,
hard cavcmont. "
RAILROADS AMI A MMV VIADUCT.
of the Structure Admitted ,
lint Quest Ion of CoM Itnlnecl.
When asked what effect the passage of
.ho city council resolution on viaducts would
have , James E. Kelby , assistant general
solicitor of the B & M. , said : "I do not
know jet. The law department has just
aken up the matter , and will prepare for
, he general manager a full statement. There
_ s no doubt about the need for n new viaduct.
The engineers of the railroad companies who
examined the structure concurred with the
city engineer In declaring that a new viaduct
should bo built , but they expressed the belief
hat certain repairs , which were later made ,
would carry the present structure through
.he exposition period.
"Tho whole question turns on the cost and
who Is to pay It. It seems only fair that the
street railway company , whose heavy
trains have greatly weakened the viaduct
aud will do the same for any viaduct that
can be built , should stand some share of the
expense. Yet they enjoy the perpetual priv
ilege of crossing the viaduct for the pa > -
mcnt of $1. I understand It Is proposed to
assess the Union Pacific two-thirds and the
Burlington one-third of the cost of a new
structure. That Is certainly not In proportion
tion to the risk from accident from these
companies. Wo have one railroad track
there and the Union Pacific has twenty-two.
II the comparison be made on a wheclago
basis , according to the number of cars that
pass on the different tracks , the Burlington
should pay one-eighth of what the Union
Pacific docs If the assessment be made ac
cording to the extent of ground occupied by
the railroad companies under the viaduct It
will bo found that the Union Pacific should
pay Just ten times as much as the Burling
ton. The great question the railroad com
panies have to confront Is the division of
the cost of the proposed viaduct. "

EXPOSITION AND
* EDUCATION
Cvw1
The writing of the new chapter In United
States hlstoiy begun by the annexation ot
Hawaii will be followed with Intense In
terest not only by those who favored it but
equally si > b > those who opposed It. All
thoughtful people will ngrco that this chap
ter will end more happily and the pooner
blend with those already written If the
problems following annexation are solved
by a united effort of the "conservative"
element which did not favor the step and
the "radical" clement which so ardently
desired It. Tor every true American , now
that annexation Is consummated , puts pa
triotism ahead of Individual opinion. Per
haps there was a modicum of wisdom In
the reply of the man who , when asked to
what political party ho belonged , and not
wishing to commit himself , responded , "I'm
a patriot and uphold the party In power. "
However that may be , the fact remains
that a combination of views and forces
on thla question cannot fall to be of benefit
and prevent many blots , Intcrllnlngs and
erasures In the chapter.
The Hawaiian exhibit , at the time of
Its sending , was designed < o bo placed In
International ball , but has ultimately found
a homo In the Agricultural building on the
north stdo of the rraln aisle. It Is Inter
esting chiefly for two reasons ; Tlrst , be
cause of Its novelty , and secondly , because
It affords some opportunity of studying the
present and past conditions of these Island
possessions situated more than 2,000 miles
distant from what was BO recently our west
ern boundary.
After clanclne at the work and pictures
of the schools with their unpronounceable
names and nearly unknown locations , one
almost Involuntarily asks , "Is there a map
of the Islands ? " And passing across to the
next section ( the exhibit Is arranged In two
sections ) a wall map Is found giving a
good Idea of the relative size of the dif
ferent Islands and the location of settle
ments and towns , but since It has no lexi
cographical features one Is at perfect liberty
to follow one's own pleasure In pronuncia
tion. I noticed In the text books sent an
English-HawaUan dictionary , but falling to
find Hawaiian words given alphabetically
Just the opposite arrangement being fol
lowed I felt quite Justified In considering
mjself an authority.
The Islands number eight , of which four ,
possibly five , are really the centers of pop
ulation. Oahul , on which Honolulu is sit
uated ; Hawaii , of which Hllo Is the chief
town ; Molakl , a small portion of which is
given over to the leper settlement ; Maul
and Kaul. There are a few schools estab
lished on the Islands of Sanal and Nllhau ,
but these are not Included In the report
of the minister of public instruction The
report for 1897 Is full of Interesting matter
and the following Items are of General In
terest : The school sjstem Is practically
free and modeled after that of the United
States. Compulsory attendance Is exacted
between the ages of C and 15. The ago
limit U somewhat elastic , a considerable
number , both under nnd above the limit , li
allowed to attend. English has been the
basis of Instruction for the last ten years
The aubllc schools of the Islands number
132 ( only ono 1- now taught In Hawaiian )
and are attended by 10,542 implls. There
are sixty private echools , none of which
now receive Government aid , attended by
3,954 Diinlls. The teaching force numbers
297 In the nubile schools 122 men and 17"
women and that In the private schools 209
82 men and 127 women. The nationalities
represented are American , part Hawaiian ,
Hawaiian , British , Portuguese , Chinese ,
Gel man , French , Scandinavian , Japanese
and "other forelcners , " the numbers cor
responding to the order of listing
The nationality of pupils shows quite as
much diversity. Hawallans of pure and
mixed blood constitute 54 per cent of the
enrollment. The Portuguese rank next with
26 per cent and the remainder Is scattered
among many nationalities. This gives a
fair Idea of the complexity of existing con
ditions and the magnitude of the task of
assimilating these diverse elements.
The government maintains a small num
ber of select schools , chiefly for pupils
"speaking English ns a mother tongue , "
and a small fee Is charged because of the
additional advantages ottered. The High
school at Honolulu , purchased from
Princess Ruth , sister of Kamehamcha IV
and V , and once occupied by her as a resi
dence , is one of this class ; also Sahalna-
luna seminary , the oldest school in the Is
lands , having been established In 1831 , and
described as "tho alma mater of so many
distinguished men of the Hawaiian race. "
The kindergartens now opened are sup
ported by charitable people , but it Is the In
tention to make- them a permanent part of
the school system as soon as funds are
avallablo for the purpose A night school
Is maintained at Honolulu ; also a reform
school , and a summer school for teachers
has been carried on the last two years. The
"National Teachers' association" will doubt
less now become an auxiliary to the parent

quite artistic , bouquets made from the same
substance are noticed. Then there Is a col
lection of beautiful needlework , including
embroidery , drawn work , hemstitching and
lace making. One school sends a book , con
taining forty practical sewing lessons from
the lounger pupils ; on one page Is a printed
outline of the lesson , the page opposite
showing the completed work ; well made
buttonholes , specimens of darning , patching ,
etc. Sloyd work has been introduced In
many of the schools. The boys of the Fort
Street school , Honolulu , have sent a case ot
vvoodcarvtng. Among the articles are re
volvers , knives , scissors , a model of an
"outrigger canoe" and several links of a
chain made from a solid block of wood.
These are all made from native woods and
show a high degree of skill. The taropatch ,
closely resembling a guitar , Is the musical
Instrument used by the natives In their
dances. Two of these made by native
pupils are sent.
The beginning of agricultural Instruction
Is Indicated In pictures of the buildings and
! grounds of the Kamchameha private school
I at Honolulu. Kindergarten work , a case ot
'
bracelets , necklaces and napkin rings , made
from "koa" and "kukaekalea" seed ( the
seed Is much smaller than the name ) , and
work from Oahu college , complete the In
dustrial exhibit. This college , situated at
Punahou , owes Its foundation to Mr. Hun-
newell of Boston , who gave $10,000 for the
purpose It Is now In Its fifty-seventh year
and the endowment has reached the goodly
sum of $300,000. Charles R. Bishop of
Honolulu has been one of Its greatest bene
factors. The college numbers 107 student *
and the preparatory school 140 ; both send
displays.
Botanical specimens , chiefly ferns daint
ily mounted ; drawings from several schools ,
nature and other subjects ; pretty little
marine scenes In water color on bamboo ,
with the Hawaiian word "aloha , " slgni-
fjlng greeting ; relief maps of single Islands
and written work In geography , language
and arithmetic are other features of the ex
hibit. The vertical system of writing Is used ;
some of the specimens are nearly equal to
engraving. One would expect Imitative
voik to be exceedingly well done by the
natives , but some of the problems In busi
ness arithmetic show ability In reasoning
power as well. Ono card observed shows
a specimen of writing by Tctsujl Matsuro ,
a Japanese boy , a tiny "grass hut" made
by Annie Kaukau , a native child , and pan-
sles painted by a Portuguese , Berenice Ca-
mara , and a Norwegian child who must
have been too tired to write her name. The
text books In the exhibit are among those
commonly used In the United States. With
them are a few translated Ino Hawaiian by
the early missionaries A biblical atlas
bears the date 1812 and n geometry Is dated
1851. Other books are an atlas of the world ,

made last night to take the lives ot John
Hill , Jr. , his wife and two children by ex
ploding a heavy charge of dynamite against
Mr. Hill's residence In Bclmont , a suburb of
this city. None of the family Buffered InJury -
Jury , although the 'rame and sagh of the
window where UK explosive was placed
were blown with great force into the bed
room where Mr. Hill was sleeping. The
perpetrators placed the missile by means ot
a polo of sufficient length to reach the second
end story windows. On the end of the
pole was attached a stick of dynamite or a
bomb. A slow fuse was attached and the
explosive so arranged that it was held
against the frame of the window of the bed
room on the east side of the house , the
room usually occupied by Mr. Hill and his
wife. The crime Is believed to have been
Inspired If not executed by race track men ,
against whom Mr. Hill , as an officer of the
Civic Federation , has conducted a crusade.

FOR RURAL FREE DELIVER !
Bougies County to Have a Postal Boutt
Running from Omaha.
INSPECTORS HERE TO PREPARE FOR IT
Route to Itr Ie l nntPil Deppiuln on
the Hemilt of IiiK | > retlon , Which
Will Cover the Turiltory
Adjacent to the City.
S. B. Kathbono and T. H. Haupt , rural frco
delivery agents of the PostolTlcc department ,
are In Omaha for the purpose ot establishing
a free delivery route In the country some
where near Omaha. It Is not yet known
Just where the trial route will be established ,
but the agents will look over all avallablo
routes and decide which Is the best adapted
to the purpose.
Mr. Haupt has formerly been In Virginia ,
Tennessee , Indiana and Pennsylvania and
says that all routes established have been
satlsfactoiy to the patrons as well as to
the department. The first year only $10,000
was appropriated for this purpose : the second
end year $50,000 was devoted to that pur
pose and the appropriation for the present
year Is $150,000. The routes ore now In
operation In almost all the states In the
Union , the only one In Nebraska being In
Jefferson county. Tor the most part they
are established so as to embrace ono town
ship and are usually about twenty-four
miles In length. They have been established
in mountainous countries and over all soils
of roads they hove proven successful.
Mr. Haupt says that they have been a
great educator In some localities where they
formerly had little communication with the
outer world , but under the present condi
tions get papeis every day and keep In touch
with the world. The quickness of delivery
depends largely on the roads and the
weather. In many localities the mall ii
carried on bicycles when the conditions
permit and this means a route twenty-four
miles long can be worked In flvo hours ,
which Is perhaps an hour faster than It
could be done with a horse.
No route which has been established has
been abandoned so far nnd more than 12"
are In operation In different parts ot the
United States. The department Is over
whelmed with petitions for routes and as .1
result of the success of the trial routes
it Is probable that many more will be estab
lished.
