The holding is: The provisions of the act of the legisla ture of 1K, being chapter xxxv ths-ieof. creating a food commission, making the - governor food commits oner, providing for the appointment Of a deputy food commis sioner and defining the duties of tho. officers ui nrnvirieri for. does not contravene the provisions of section 26. article v, of the . i .... i i. 1 .. i. a- 4ntMHa other executive state office shall' be con tinued or created and the duties now de vntvinv unnn nfflrer not provided for bv this constitution shall be performed by the officers Herein createa. Nor does the act conflict with aeetlon 2, article vllt, of the constitution, declaring "that no bill shall contain more than one subject." Where a part of an act has been declared 'invalid and the remainder la complete and perfect in all Its parts and U capable .st execution It will bo- upheld and enforced unless It Is apparent that the invalid part was an Inducement to the adoption of the remainder. Held, that the part of the act tinder con sideration relating to an attempted nppro nrlatlnn for the salary of the deputy food commissioner, which has been declared In valid, was not an inducing element to ine passage or tne remainder or. me act. The food commission law was paased by the legislature three yearg ago. One of the paragraphs of the bill, besides provid ing for tha appointment' of a deputy com missioner, sought to make provision for the salary of tha officials and attaches of tho department. The supreme court two years ago declared the appropriation fea ture Invalid because the paragraph con tained mors than ons subject.

Tho supreme court has decided against tha young colored man, A. Worden Haynes, who prosecuted a suit for $2,500 damages against the, proprietors of the Ltud-U hotel. His claim was baaed oa the refusal of the defendants to allow him to ride on tha elevator in their hotel,.. In the district court of Lancaster county Haynes recov ered Judgment for 1500V The supreme court reverses the order. ' The opinion Is by Commissioner Barnes. The holding of law is that in a suit for damages tho giv ing of an instruction which In substance Informs the jury that if, from the evidence they find for the plaintiff, they will fix his damages at such sura, within the amount claimed, which' is $2,600, as they think he has sustained by reason of facts alleged in his petition; and which thus eliminates ths consideration of the evi dence in fixing the amount of recovery. Is reversible error. As to this particular case the court holds that the verdict re turned by the Jury is excessive. Ths question of the 'man's color did sot enter Into th consideration la the decision of this case. The Judgment was reversed on two grounds, 'one being that tha court trred la giving the Instruction referred to and the other-that the verdict as returned a excessive. Worden was an employe of the republican itata headquarters. He alleged In his pe tition that the refusal of the hotel propri etors to allow him to rids on their, elevator deprived him of lucrative employment. Bays Douglas Coanty Honda.

TERMS ARE TO BE VERY DEFINITE lalted States to Exercise Police aad Sanitary Control, but Colombia Is Sot to Lose Rlsata of Sorerelsjaty. WASHINGTON, July 11. With th ex ception of signing the treaty by which Co lombia will confer all the necessary rights Incident to the building of the Tanama canal by the United States government, Senor Concha, the Colombian minister; Mr. Herrsn, first secretary of legation, and Wil liam Nelson Cromwell, representing the Panama Canal and Railroad companies, are busily engaged In going over certain points In the treaty, which must be modified be fore the Instrument can be signed. Neither the State department nor the Co lombian officials hero care to disclose the nature of the modifications which It has now become necessary to make In the treaty, but it Is understood that all of them, either directly or indirectly, Involve the question of aoverelgnty. The close study of the passing of ths Isthmian canal act and the treaty presented the Colombian government develops appar ently Important differences and obscurities in the letter of the documents, which may not, however, exist in their spirit. For In stance, aeetlon 2 .of the canal act author ises the president to acquire from Colombia "perpetual control of a strip of land , which control shall Include jurisdiction over said strip and the porta at the ends thereof, to make such police and sanitary rules and regulations as shall be necessary to preserve order and preserve the public health thereon, and to eatabltsh such Judicial tribunals as may. be agreed thereon as may be necessary to enforce such rules and regulations." Rlcnts of the Inlted States. From this portion of the act It would ap pear that the United States alone Is to make police and sanitary regulations for the canal strip, and establish Judicial tri bunals for their enforcement. Yet article 111 of the draft of the canal treaty provides for the creation of a "Joint commission by the governments of Colombia and the United States that shall establish and en force sanitary and police regulations." Article lv of the treaty deala specifically with the question of sovereignty, as follows: The rights and privileges granted to the United States by the terms of this conven tion shall not affect the sovereignty of the republic of Colombia over the territory within whose boundaries such rights and provisions are to be exercised. The United States freely acknowledges and recognizes this sovereignty and dis avows any Intention to Impair In any way whatever, or to Increase Its territory at the expense of Colombia or of any of the sister republics in Central or South America, but on the contrary It desires to strengthen the power of the republics on this conti nent and then promote, develop and main tain their prosperity and Independence. Terms to Be Definite. Briefly summing up. it appears to be th task now before the parties to the pro posed convention to define with absolute clarity the extent and limits of control, or Joint control, to be exercised over the canal strip. For while control Is not sov ereignty in the common sense of the term, yet in practice the two often merge so closely as to defy identification arM it has all along been recognized that any pro vision of the treaty which threatens in any measure the sovereignty of the South American republic over the eanal land will not' be acceptable to the Colombian con gress. Minister Concha has been in poor health during the spring and summer and con templates a Journey but of town to re cuperate in the near future. It la confi dently hoped that th treaty may be signed before his departure. WESTERN MATTERS AT CAPITAL Orders Issued and Appointments Made In the Postal Serv ice. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
