He believed that the sentiment of the European peovle would not permit the powers to proceed to extremes in protect- ing Turkevy agzainst tne legitimate de- mands of Greece.

JUDGE HUGHES GRANTS AN- OTHER CONTINUANCE. | By Direction of the Senate the Attor- ney-G:neral Will Sse That Jus« tice Is Not Juzgled With. SACRAMENTO, CaL, March 11.- By an evidently prearranged programme Long Green Lawrence was in contempt of the court which he selected and specially imported from Woodiand to hear the ha- beas corpus matter in connection with the Senate contempt commitment. His of- fense was permitted to go unnoticed through the tacit consent of Judge Hughes and the oversight of the attor- Deys representing the State. Despite toe fact that the specifically de- fined purpose and very essence of a writ of babeas corpus is that the body of the prisoner be brought into court at the time the hearing is set the iaker-in-chief of the faking m parch bad the assurance not cnly to absent himself from this city at the time when he should have been brought into court by the Sheriff, but took himself away to San Francisco.

Itis customary in cases of this kind for the Jndge in opening the proceedings to make inquiry of the Sheriff whether he has complied with the order in the writ and has brought the prisoner into co In this instance, however, this formality was dispenged with and the very existence | of the absent prisoner apparently for- gotten.

When the court opened the at- tendance packed the courtroom and !aige numbers had to satistv their curiosity by waiting in the corriders untit the proceed- ings were concluded. Their patience was not taxed fong, for the entire affair—by sessions—did not occupy thirty minutes. In the ate investigation committce the courtesy was voluntarily and withoat request extended to the Exsminer people of being allowed counsel. In return for this generous consideration on the part of the Senate the Examiner’s attorneys did n ave the grace tosee that official no- tice was given the Senate of the babeas corpus proceedings, and for this reason a nostponement of the hearing had to be taken until to-morrow at 10 A. M. It was oniy aft=r the first session of ths ion of District Attorney Ryan that such notice was or- dered by the court.

The spectators looked in vain for the faker-in-chief of the Examiner.
