ACTION IN REFERENCE TO THE DEATH OF JUSTICE ‘woops, ‘The United States Supreme Court met for the October term at noon to-day, the only vacant chair on the bench being that formerly occupied by the late associate Justice Woods. The mem- bers of the bar were in attendance in large num- bers and there was an unusual number of visitors. Among the prominent gentlemen connected with the bar who attended the opening session were, Attorney-General Garland, Solicitor-General Jenks, Assistant Attorney-General Maury, ex-Solicitor- Philips, Gen. B. F. Butler, Senator Vest, ex- Solicitor-General Goode, Hon. Casey Young, George ‘Ticknor Curtis and Judge Wilson. ‘MOTIONS HEARD. At the stroke of 12 the court filed in, headed by the Chtef Justice, and after the usual proclama- tion of the convening of the court 1t was an- nounced that motions would be heard. Attorney- General Garland moved an admission to the bar, and he was followed by others with similar mo- tions until fifteen persons were accepted a3 mem- bersof the Supreme Court bar, The Chief Justice asked for the first case as- signed, and the response being that it was ‘THE KANSAS LIQUOR CASE, involving the validity of the prohibitory law, he announced that {t would be taken up to-gaorrow. At six minutes past 12 the court was adjourned ‘until to-morrow. IMPORTANT CASES COMING UP. Though it was known that nothing of import- ance would be transacted to-day the’leading mem- bers of the bar were attracted by the genezal knowledge that the pressent session will dispose of many cases of importance. The telephone cases will be decided, and they involve questions of great Alnterest. The attorneys for Brooks, allas Max- well, the alleged murderer of Preller in St. Louis to-day Mled the transcript of the record of the lower court in that case. In the ordinary course of business 1t would be about three years before this case could be reached, but the State of Mis- souri will come in with a motion to advance the case so as to promptly dispose of it, and that mo- ton will probably be granted. THE DEAD SUSTICE. At 12:30 the Supreme Court bar was called together to take action in regardto{the death of Justice Woods, Ex-Solicitor General Phillips was called to the chair and Jas. H. McKinney was chosen secretary. On motion of Mr. A. G.

The committee retired for a few ininutes, and then re- rted through its chairman, Mr.’ Maury, that he bar had came together to inanifest its Tespect id its se Of the loss of the late Justice ‘The report embodied a bilef review of the life and pubile services of the late associate justice, calling attention to his entrance into public life asa member of the Ohio legisiature; that when cibll War threatened he contended for peace as long as peace could be had upon honor- able terms, but when the die was cast he drew is sword and faithfully and gallantly served his country in the field, attaining upon merit the rank of brevet major-general; that at the close of the war he was mustered out in Alabama and Settled permanently there; that he so won the confidence of the people as to be elected chancelor, and upon the ereation of the fifth judicial circuiv he was appointed U.S, etreutt judge; that as an upright judge and honest citizen he won th esteem anil confidence of all classes, and upon his promotion to the U.

CONSUL-GRNERAL BONHAM THINKS HER A DANGER- OUS RIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES. ‘The report of Consul-General Bonham, at Cal- cutta, to the State Department, says that an area of 27,500,000 acres 13 devoted to production of wheat, and that the total yield during the year ended March 31, 1886, was 289,000,000 bushels. As compared with the wheat of the Pacific coast the Indian wheat is inferior, but_when exported to Europe is mixed and d_with Wheat of a supertor quality, by which process a fair marketa— ble grade of fidur is obtained. The method of cultivating the soll is in the main the same asit Was centuries ago, and there seems to be great dimcuity in inducing the farmer to invest in mod- ern agricultural implements, and yet, with all the simple and primitive methods, the Indian farmers can, in the opinion of the consul-general, success- fully compete with those of the United ‘States in the production of wheat, This isdue to the fact that the Indian farmers outft represents a capital ot ot more than $40 or $59, and his hired help works, feeds and clothes himself on about $2.50 a month. A table 1s annexed, showing that the export of Wheat from British’ India Nas Increased from 300,000 ewt. in 1868, to 21,000,000 cwt. in 1886, and that the increas of 1886 over 1885 amounts to about 5,000,000 ewe. ‘The consul general says that some of his predecessors have claimed that the United States has nothing to fear from India asa competitor in the production of wheat. In this view he does not concur, and belleves that to- day India 1s second only to the United States in wheat-growing. Furthermore, wheat-growing in India 4s yet in its infancy, and'lts further develop- ment depends principally upon the means of transportation to the seaboard, He fears that with the cheap native labor of India, and the con- stantly growing facilities for transportation, the United States will find her a. formidable compett- tor as a producer of the staff of life.

Governor Lee Visits Them There. HE DENOUNCES THEIR IMPRISONMENT AS AN OUTRAGE. UPON THE CONSTITUTION AND THE KIGHTS OF THE STATE, The action of certain. Virginia State officials with reference to the coupons which belong to the Riddleberger State bonds assumed a novel aspect Saturday when Attorney-General Ayers and John Scott, commonwealth’s attorney of Fauquier, were committed to jail for their refusal to pay fine assessed against them by Judge Bond, of the United States Court, for bringing sults under the law Known as the “cotfpon crusher,” in diso- Dedience of his injunction order, as stated in Sat- urday’s Stak. The Richmond Dispatch says: “about 10:15 o'clock last night Attorney-General Ayres and Mr. Scott were carried to the city jail by United states Marshal Scott and given into the custody of the deputy in charge. Mr. Ayres was asked why it was that he and Mr. Scott concluded | to go to jail. He said that che instructions given the marshal by Judge Bond were, as he under- stood, that they were to be Kept in actual and not in constructive custody. Marahal Scott offered to put them under the custody of a deputy, to stay ‘with them at their hotel and to follow them in ail their movements, all at the expense of the prison- ers.
