The condition of Judge Merrick, who has been lying ill at his home, 1716 N street, for some weeks, was considered hopeless to-day. It was Se ee that he would live through the night. His are in con- stant attendance upon him. Jui Wm. M. Merrick has twice the District bench.

His father, the late Merrick, was U. 8. Senator from Mary- He was a leader at the bar of his state, and he gave three sons to the legal fession, Ju Wm. M. Merrick, the late Richard [, Merrick, and Mr. Geo. C. Merrick, of Prince George's county, Md. Judge Merrick studied law and began his practice in Frederick, Maryland, He was ap- pointed by President Pierce as a judge on the old circuit court of the district, December 4th, 1885, and sat on the bench here until the court was legislated out of existence in 1863, the present Supreme Court of the District was established. Judge Merrick then went to Baltimore for a while, and then removed to Howard county, Md., resuming the practice of the law. From 1873 to 187 Judge Merrick represented the fifth Maryland district in the House of Rep- resentatives, serving on the credit mobilie vestigating committee and making the princi- pal report against the accused persons. Among the first appointments to office in the District made by sident Cleveland was that of Judge Merrick to succeed Judge Wylie There was considerable opposition in the Sen- ate to his confirmation, as it was stated, on account of his age, and the nomination was not confirmed until January following. Judge Merrick has no children. His wife's maiden name was Miss Mary Wickliffe. She isa daughter of Gov. Wickliffe, of Kentucky. One of her sisters was the wife of Judge Advocate-General Holt and the other of Sena- tor Yulee, Another sister, Mrs. Beckham, is now living in Kentucky.’ Judge Merrick’s household includes beside his wife, two nieces, of whom he and his wife are very fond, Miss Beckham and Miss Wickliffe. : Judge Merrick has been suffering for some time with a gastric trouble. Atthe outbreak of the war, when Judge Merrick was on the bench here, an apaaice- tion was made to him for a writ of habeas corpus for a boy who had enlisted in the army. General Andrew Porter in command of the forces here had the person who served the writ arrested. Before the court had cousidered the case a sentinel was posted, it is stated by Secretary Seward'’s orders before oe Merrick’s house. ‘The sentinel remained at Judge Merrick’s door for four or five weeks, the judge in the meantime refusing to leave the house. He was then removed by Mr. Seward’s order. He then resumed his seat, and held it until the court was reorganized by legislation. No charge was made against his loyalty.

A Petition Served on the Defendants— Plaintiffs Search for Papers. In the case of J. Harris Rogers agt. A. H. Garland et al. (the Pan-electric case), a copy of a petition to be presented to Judge Cox was served on the defendants to-day. ‘This petition states that under the order made last month plaintiff has used all the means in his power, by haying served subpanas, to trace and procuré the missing books of the three companies concerned; that the counsel have declared before the examiner undér oath that they have no information or knowledge where the books, papers. pamphlets, corres- pondence, &c., of any of the three companies may now exist. It further says that in conse- quence the plaintiff is greatly embarrasse; because of the rule that oral testimony is in- competent where written records contain the subject matter; that notwithstanding the ap- ault of the defendants, their counsel variably excepted to any testimony which might violate the rule. The petitioner states that defendants claim that they have not been summoned in their official capacity to produce the books of two corporates— the Pan Electric telephone company und the Pan Electric telegraph company—not parties to the cause, and are not bound to produce the books of said corporations. The complainant begs leave to remind the court that a joint stock company was formed by the plaintiff and all the defendanta, and subsequently all the parties in trust advised the formation of two corporations, and agreed that all the patents should be conveyed to the corporators for an equitable consideration of stocks to be is- sued, while many other patents and property were not conveyed. He says that the Pan Elec- tric telephone company, under the absolute control of defendants, having accumulated a large amount of money from the sale of state rights, paid out to complainant and de- fendants several thousand dollars to liquidate certain expenses incurred by defendants in matters not pertaining to the telephone long before the telephone company was formed. He states that the tele- phone company paid out considerable amounts from other interests, all by the consent and ac- tion of defendants, who had ‘absolute control of said corperation,” and who appropriated said moneys, matters, and things, in which the stockholders of the P. E. telephone corporation had no interest whatever. He states that when a large amount of money had accumulated from sales to Senator Vest and others of proper- ties not pertaining to telephony, these moneys were placed in the treasury of the telephone | company, and were pretended to be paid out to plaintiff and defendants, and pretended by | the defendants, having absolute control, to have them equitably divided with plaintiff, and this, he says in his bill, was notdone. He says that no just settlement can be made without the production of the missing books and pa- pers, nor can he give his testimony concerning them at the present stage of the case. The com; faint further states that General Joseph E. Johnston, an upright and honorable man, appeared before the examiner and testi- fied that he had delivered all the books and papers to Casey Young, who is absent from the city. He states that he has lost much time through the fault of some one or many. of the defendants in withholding the missing books, and he prays the court to allow him in an event ten days for taking his testimony, and if the books be esl obtain by the 14th inst., that sixty days additional be allowed for taking the testimony of Casey Young by commission. fs THE HEARING TO-Day, At the hearing before Examiner Smith this morning Senator Vest was the first witness, and he narrated that he had a trade with Senator Harris, He was questioned as to whether he knew that the treasury was then depleted. He said that he had confidence in Senator Harris and the other parties and asked no questions, He said that the first he heard of the depletion ofthe treasury was when the Hon. Mr. Rea- &, at a dinner, told him he had been robbed, ecause of the emptying of the treasury before he was permitted to come in. He was positive that Senator Harris told him that the two widows had paid in $10 per share, although the answer stated that they had paid but five. Senator Harris was questioned about the books, but could not tell where they were, Gen, Hunton was questioned about the books, but denied any knowledge of them, and when confronted with extracts from the books in the defendant’s answer he said that the answer was pre) d principally a Casey Young, who was then in the city, and Mr. Earle also did some work upon it. de _sr—nenar THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

Robert Boyd, the chairman of the com- mittee on public order at the inauguration, said to-day that the suggestion had been made to him to have notices conspicnously posted along the Avenue informing people that it was contrary to the regulations to pass beyond the ropes. Col. Boyd said he thought this was a good idea, as the vast majority of people on such occasions was orderly and desired to observe the regulations if they only knew what they were.

He can now provide for 26,000 newcome: The number of militia who are to participate in the parade has been increased during the week by 792, making the total number of men so far reported 12,979. Three new civic organizations have been re- ported during the week, making thé number now 128, and the number of men 20,821. Col. Staples reported that all the electric apparatus with which to light the pension building had arrived excepting the engine. UNIFORMITY IN DRESS NOT UNIFORMS, ‘The order of the chief marshal of the inau- gural parade, Gen. Beaver, relative to unifor- mity in the dress of the clubs proposing to take lene in the inaugural, has beon misunder- stood in some quai Col. M. M. Parker, the chairman of the c: ommittes and the mar- shal of that division, states that it is not the intention to exclude clubs that are not regu- larly uniformed. He said that uniforms were not made a condition of the admission of any club or association into the line. All that the order of Gen. Beaver meant was that there onght to be some uniformity in the dress of the members of each organization, so that their appearance would be worthy of the ocoa- sion and creditable to the other bodies partici- pating in the parade, NOTES. The Wholesale republican dry goods glee club, of New York, will attend the inaugura- tion with about 100 men. Two hundred men will represent the repub- lican association of the fifteenth assembly dis- trict of New York at the inauguration. They will wear white high bats and be uniformly dressed. Arrangements have been made by Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, chairman of the transportation com- mittee, with the Choptank steamboat company to run a boat from points on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the city on inauguration day, INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT. Petitions Against the Passage of the Pending Bill. Represeutative Chipman, of Michigan, has Presented to the House a petition against the passage of ‘the international copyright bill, similar to many others on the same subject, which are finding their way into the petition box. The petition recites, first, that the bill is not really an international measure; copyright should be a subjectof treaty negotiation and based on reciprocity. No rights shouldbe granted to foreign authors in America that are not granted to Americans abroad. Second, the bill has been drawn in accord- ance with the desires of a combination of selfish interests similar to the great printing houses which form an international trust to en- hance enormously to price of books. Third, the bill will give to publishing mo- nopolies the right to raise the ae of foreign books sold here to the level of the high prices abroad, oring completely the interests of the Ami people who buy and read books. The wholesome effect of cheap literature can- not be over-estimated. ,, important business and labor inter- ests would be injuriously affected. The paper industry would be damaged, and the demand for printers, elctro-t and pressmen in the United States reduced to an enormous degree, Fifth, it is doubtful if the interests of Amer- can authors would be advanced by the passage of the bill—they would still be in compe- tition with foreign authors, who, there is no reason to assume, would be less formidable competitors if protected by copy- right. Our great American authors need no protection; many of them have secured enor- mous fortunes, and the profession is better ae in America than in any other country in he world. Sixth, compensation should not be made to foreign authors by the granting to them by Congress of the right to collect a royalty on their ere, leaving American pub- lishers as free to reproduce as at present, but without creating a monopoly in foreign litera- ture in this comme Seventh, if the bill is amended in this re- rt, the’ House of Representatives will find t the selfish combinations which have pre- sented the bill do not want such a measure of justice to foreign authors. In conclusion the petitioners + Spgs the House will defeat the bill as it st or sub- stitute an equitable measure granting to for- eign authors a reasonable royalty on their T @P) erican in the publishing Am erga So important, and farreaching more lesome, port an aC agined. ‘than can well be im: oN 4 Cuancr oy GamBLine.—Late ‘WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. ment prepared at the Treasury department shows that there was a net increase of $2,065,750 in circulation during the month of wuary, and a net increase of $6,750,000 in cfovews and bullion in the Treasury during the same period. in ci tion was in and the princi ‘Treasury was in standard cliver foees Tae U. 8. 8.

An Executive Session Probable To-night SENATORS WHO OPPOSED THE BRITISH EXTRADI- TION TREATY WANT THEIR NAMES KNOWN. The probabilities point to an executive ses- sion this evening. As soon as it became known that fifteen Senators favored the ratification of the British extradition treaty, then senatorial correspond- ence increased considerably, and many of those who were opposed to the treaty from the start have had to explain to some of their constituents that their views had not changed. Now these Senators want to be publicly vindi- cated, and it is more than probable tl the Senate will go into executive session this afternoon to take such action as will make pub- lic the detailed vote on the treaty. The little minority is not aware of the trap that is being set for them, and they will not be allowed to find it out until it is too THE MOBICAN WILL BE READY FOR SEA TO MORROW.

New’s Chances. ‘of | PARKSON'S FRIENDS STILL MOPEFUL THAT EE RARRIGON'S RE- BE THOUORT TO mar BE FUSAL TO Nobody about the capitol appears to have any information as to John C. New's chances of being made Secretary of the Treasury. With Allison now out of the question, everything is left in doubt except as to Blaine and Wane- maker, The messages given by some of the leading party admirers, to be conveyed to Gen. Harrison by the member who left for is on Saturday, were of a character to suggest the possibility that New was beld im mind when the messages were sent. It is re- garded as not likely now that McKinley would accept, though the same reasons may not exist for his not doing #0 as in the case of the Iowa Senator. CONGRESSMEN CAX'T AFFORD TO GO EX. A member from the west speaking withe Srar reporter to-day put the situation as to Congress and the cabinet this way: ‘There is no member or all likely to be chosen, for a cabinet appointment who would not be better off where he is. Several men in both houses are eminently fitted for certain cabinet itions, but they could not afford to acce) m. As it was with Allison, so it is with rest, leaving out any thought of "92 Sherman cannot ford to go into the cabinet, neither can Cullom, nor 8; , mor Quay, nor Hoar, nor Ingalls, nor any of the rest. Palmer, though he is going out of the Sena‘ cannot afford to accept coh on assignment duty. In the House the ble men may be gone over in the same way. None likely to be chose can afford to accept, Whether Evarte would find it desirable to leave the Renate to become Attorney-General is a question.” CLARKSON'S FRIENDS STILL HOPEFUL. ‘The Iowa folks have by no means given up the ides of Clarkson's going into the cabinet, Some of them certainly expect that he will yet be appointed. It is difficult to detect upon what they base their hopes, though they may be well founded. The general im) among members and Senators is that Clarkson is out. If he is not to go in there is a disposition among some of | the earnest party men to draw an inference | that may or may not be well grounded. They say that the chief argument made in behalf of Mr. Clarkson is based upon the idea that there shonid be one man in the cabinet who knows all the political obligations incurred to individ- uals during the campaign, and who could regulate with justice and wisdom that feature of patronage, distribution, These obligations are incurred in all campaigns, and the nature of them is not ®u; to be known to the President-elect. He is expected by the litical worker to rely upon “the man who ‘nows,” and to distribute certain rewards as be advises. In this instance Quay and Clarkson are supposed to be the only men who know the extent and character of the campaign obliga- tions. Quay, it is well known, wants no csabi- net position. Clarkson does, and knows as one about the late campaign, perhaps, as Mr, ay. AN UNPLEAS: INFERENCE. The inference drawn from a refusal to put Clarkson in the cabmet, said a member to a Stan reporter, will be that Mr. Harrison in- tends to follow about the same civil service policy as that made prominent daring the first part of Mr. Cleveland's term. It will be al- most the same as serving notice that he does not need any one to distribute and i ily interested in being advised as to what individuals he is under obligations to for my services; that, not intending to distribute the small offices as rewards for cam- paign service, he wants no information as to these obligations.
