Everything was quiet at Chiriqui | when the Taboga left that port. The boat ent with dispatches for Governor General Castro was met near its destination by the Taboga. The fleet of the revolution- &, composed of three gunboats, is still off Yeguala. A volunteer corps numbering 50 men has been organized here. Fifteen hundred men from the province of Antioguia have left here to reinforce the Government troops. It is believed the presence of these additlonal soldiers will end the ac- tive revolution on the isthmus. Bullfights Not to Be Permitted. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.—The proposed bullfights will not occur in Los Angeles, Deputy City Attorney Hewitt to-day ad- vised the Council that the State law pro- hibited bullfights and that the Council could not take contrary action. Accord- ingly, the Chief of Police will be advised to enforce the law. The proposed ex hibition was not expected to be of a sav- age character, but the Council is opposed even to a farcical circus, in which a bull’ with sawed-off horns would be the main attraction.

The visit of the Archduke to the Russian capital is regarded as being of great political significance. China and Japan at Peace. LONDON, Feb. 6—Since the death of Li Hung Chang, cables the Shanghai cor- respondent of ‘the Times, there has been a noticeable development in the friendly relations of China and Japan. This rap- prochement is particularly marked in the attitude of the Chili and Yangtse Vice- \ — | control of th® whole (Alaska) | | elaborat= R by pgejudice and bias. He became in- volved in a colloquy with Senator Till-| man, who sald he appeared In the novel attithde cof a defender of the United States judiciary. The South Carolina Senator had intimated that he would de- | liver a speech on the Noyes case, but at the conclusion of McCumber's speech hé contented himself practically with put- ting into the Congressional Record the decision of the Circult Court of "Appeals of San Francisco in the cases of contempt | against Noyes and McKenaie. In a brief speech Stewart reviewed the case, speaking strongly against Judge Noyes and his actions in Alaska. Hale, in charge of the measure, started the ball rolling by making an’ appeal to the Senate to permit the bill to come to a vote. He hoped the “scandal In Alas- ka' would not be permitted to interfere | with the progress of the measure. He said it had no relevancy to an appropria- tion bill and, while he was powerless to prevent the’ discussion, he hoped it would not be prolonged. In Defense of Noyes. McCumber of North Dakota said he had no desire to prolong the discussion, but most villainous charges had .been made against men—charges which he per- sonally knew to be unfounded and abso- lutely false. He declared that * certain mining syndicates had desired to obtaia country. He believed it would be premature for the Senate to render a verdict for or! against Judge Arthur H. Noyes and Al- exander McKenzle before the courts had had opportunity to pass upon the merits of the case. He ventured the opinion that the Senator from SeGth Carolina (Till- man), who represented a chivalrous peo- ple and who had reflected so seriously upon Judge Noves and Alexander Me- Kenzie, who had no opportunity to de- fend themselves, would not have made the chargeg against them if he had known Alexander | McKenzie and. been familiar with facts. He declared that no person could put a finger upon a single instance where Alexander McKenzie or Judge Noyes ever had wronged any man of a dollar. He paid a high tribute to both McKenzie and Noyes.and, in.answer to an inquiry, asserted that ‘not one sciu- tilla of evidence is contained in the en- tire record of the case that _w.m_lupport oy 2 the charge of conspiracy against Alexan- der McKenzle.” McCumber then entered upon an ex- tended- statement of the case against McKenzie, going into minute details. He | | asked, was Frost senit to prison and Judge maintained that the crder of tie Circuit Court of Appeals of San Francisco went outside of the statement of fact made to | over | property of which. he. was the receiver. | 1t !n ordering McKenzie to turn He asserted that McKenzie's lawyer ad- vised him that the court's order was void. ply with the writ, inaemuch as, if did, he would be in contempt of an order of Judge Noyes. He, therefore, was be- tween two fires. « In such -condition was held by able lawyers that McKenzie ought riot to be adjudged guilty of any offense, Criticizes Court of Appeals. Referring to the opinion ‘of the Circuit Court ' of Appeals McCumber asserted that four-fifths of it was devoted to the discussion of an alleged attempt at con- spiracy between Judge foyes and Me- Kenzie, the greater portion of the infor- mation concerning which came from San Francisco newspapers. He Insisted that no man could conceive of a more heinous Jjudgment than this. The parties were not convicted of conspiracy but of contempt, and, in his opinion, ought not McKenzie, Noyes and Dubose. The members of the Court of Appeals for the minth circuit, he said, might be honorable men, but he was obliged to judge them by their acts. That court had convicted Judge Noyes while he was 2000 miles away and had arraigned him in most remarkable language without an op- portunity of a hearing. Reverting ‘to ‘the situation,.as Judge Noyes found it in Alaska, McCumber de- clared that the mining syndicates had made every effort to bribe him—$§20,000 be- ing offered to him in one sum. Finding it impossible to bribe him, the syndicate hired, McCumber asserted, a man to make a perjured afidavit that Judge Noyes had accepted a bribe. These facts, -he said, had been reported to the Attor- ney General of the United States and for reporting these matters . to the United States Judicial Department, Frost, he eaid, had been sentenced to jail for one year because his work had come in con- flict with the Circuit Court of Appeal: —) MEMBERS OF THE UNITED | STATES COURT OF APPEALS OF THE NINTH CIRCUIT. McKenzie, therefore, did not com- | he | it | to have | been punished to such an extent as werc | "A B b That was the reason_ for Frost's convic- tion. He simply would not be a creature of the syndicate. McCumber read the orders issued by Judge Noyes—known as the statu quo orders—upon which he said the Judge had been canvicted of contempt. Why, he Noyes only fined, if both were guilty of conspirac He opined that it was be- cause Judge Noyes' character would be sufficiently blackened by a fine and then, too, out of prison he could not be reached by a writ of habeas corpus. He referred to what to his mind was appalling corrup- tion in Alaska. That “Damnable Corruption.” Tillman interrupted and inquired whether McCumber did not think he owed it to the Seddte to give all the facts concerning the ““damnable corruption’ of certain United States courts, to which he | bad referred. - MeCumber Teplied that he had not ac- cused the members of the San Francisco Circult Court of Appeals of anything worse than prejudice, and bias. He urged that he had proved this prejudice from the record. McCumber denounced the decision of the Court of Appeals as forty-eight pages of segregation of testimony out of 3000 pages of closely printed matter. The con- clusions of the court, he said, were based for the most part on evidence which the Senator from South Carolina (Tillman) would not give the least credence to. He asserted that Tillman had cast serious aspersions upon a man as honorable as he was—a man whom the South Carolina Senator might meet outside the chamber and there, if he saw fit, call the vile names he had applied tb him. Tillman disclaimed any intention to re- flect improperly upon anybody, his re- marks, he said, being directed to the De- partment of Justice especially for not do- ing Its duty in promvtiy Investigating and acting upon such a scandal as had de- veloped in this case, whoever were the guilty parties. He insisted that either the Judges of the Circuit Court of Ap- peals of San Francisco were gullty of some infamy, or the Noyes party was. He felt it his duty, as he had some re- spect for the judiciary of the United States, to defend Judges who had been arraigned so seriously and to see that ' Continued on Page Two,, ~~
