United States Supreme Conrt Denied "Writ of Certiorari In Case of Chlpps vs. Llnderberc WASHINGTON, Dec 24,-The United States Supreme Court today denied the petition for a writ of certiorari. In the case of Chlpps vs. Linderberg. This Is a famous mining case from Cape Nome In volving the regularity of the appointment of a receiver for s. gold mine in that dis trict by District Judge Noyes. The case was removed to the United States Cir cuit Court of Appeals for the ninth cir cuit, and the present proceeding was In tended to secure Its removal to the Su preme Court before a decision had been Tendered In the Circuit Court. The order Issued today was against the petitioners and the effect will be. to leave the case lor trial in the Circuit Court. The Supreme Court advanced two more cases involving the question of the rela tionship between the United States and Its insular possessions, to be heard Jan uary 7. There are now eight of these cases set for that date. One of the cases advanced today Involves the collec tion of duties on goods Imported from Hawaii. The Supreme Court refused, for want of Jurisdiction, to take cognizance of the habeas corpus case of the State of Ark ansas vs. Charles A. M. Schllerholz, com ing to the court on appeal from the Dis trict Court for the Eastern District or Arkansas. Schllerholz was an agent lor the Government In the somewhat famous contention between the Interior Depart ment and citizens of Arkansas over the Inspection and ownership of timber al leged to have been cut from Government land In that state, some of which was seized by him. He was arrested for this act by the state authorities and being taken Into custody he applied to the Fed eral Court for a writ of habeas corpus. Tho writ was granted and Schllerholz discharged from custody. The state ap pealed to the Supreme Court. This court held that the only appeal was to the Cir cuit Court of Appeals, and, therefore, dismissed the case. After handing down a number of opin ions, the court adjourned until Jan uary 7. CLAIMS AGAINST CUBA. German EmbiAy Lara Thetn Before the State Department. WASHINGTON. Dec. 24. The German Embassy has laid before the State De partment the claims of a number ot German subjects for damages to their In terests in Cuba, as a result of the Spanish-American "War and the Insurrection which led up to the war Itself. This ac tion has ralesd a most Important issue and the Department of State has given It the closest consideration. It has been concluded, however, that the linilta States cannot be responsible for the claims. Many are regarded as practically the same In principle as the claim of Porto Rico against Cuba Tor $2,500,000 on account of a war loan. Although In that case. Governor Allen, of Porto Rico, rep resented the United States Government In prefering the claim, the Government was obliged to deny its liability or the liability of Cuba under present condi tions. The answer to the German pre sentation will be based upon the reply to Governor Allen recently made. -. It Is known that other governments be sides Germany have claims aggregating a very large sum, all based on the Cuban Insurrection and succeeding events. They will not be abandoned on account of tho attitude of the United States Government, but probably will be held In abeyance un til Cuba becomes Independent, when they will bo presented directly to the Island government. I mans, the famous authority on Parlia i mentary procedure, was questioned last night on the subject of the Canadian I Senate! It has been proposed to reform ' that body, and the government has fos some time had under consideration changes amending the constitutional pro visions on the subject In the British North America act, under which the Provinces of Canada were confederated. Sir John said he did not agree with those who talked of abolishing the Senate. The usc , fulness of a second chamber has been sufficiently demonstrated In Canada, he said. He believes, however, the time has come when a change In the mode of se , lectlng Senators may usefully be consld '. ered. i PLANS OF THE ANARCHISTS MISS COXDIT SMITH'S WARDROBE. Assistant Secretarr Spaaldlnsr Ad mits It Free. WASHINGTON. Dec 21. Assistant Sec retary Spauldlng today took favorable ac tion on the appeal of Miss Condit Smith from the action of the Customs authori ties In New Tork in taking her trunks on her arrival from China. The basis for the acUon Is set forth In the following statement of Mr. Spauldlng: "The regulations provide for the free entry of the personal effects of United States Ministers and their families re turning from abroad. It appears that Miss Condit Smith was at Pekln at the time of the siege, a guest of the United States Minister. Her entire wardrobe, with the exception of the clothes she wore, was either destroyed or used to clothe others who had lost everything, or torn up for bandages or otherwise used for the wounded confined in the legation; that the articles of clothing contained In the two trunks brought by her to New Tork are duplicates both In number and value of the clothing purchased for the necessities of her Journey and to replace the wardrobe which she lost or donated during the siege. As she was a guest ot the Minister and a member of his house hold during the siege, the entry Is ac corded to her free." Internal Revenue Receipts. "WASHINGTON, Dec 24. The monthly statement of the collections of Internal revenue show that during November, 1S00. the total receipts were 523.34V.33, an Increase, as compared with November last year, of JSS6.851.

Sir John Bourlnot, clerk of the House of Corn- No More Crovrncd Heads to Be Killed. NBW TORK, Dec 24. Emma Goldman said last night In an Interview that the anarchists had decided not to kill any more Kings or crowned heads. She said that at a recent conference of anarchists In Paris the above course had been agreed upon. "The killing of King Humbert," she said, "was none not through the Instiga tion of the anarchists as a body. It was the Individual act of Gaetana Bressl. Bressi Imagined that King Humbert did not treat the Italians as he should have done, and took the matter into his own hands. "We did nqt Justify the killing and do not look upon it as an act to be applauded. Anarchy, when It does come, will bo a purely voluntary co-operative system. I mean that every one will help the other so that all will have equality. "We anarchists do not believe In mar riages. Look at our divorce courts. They are filled every day with men and women trying to get divorces from one another. Under an anarchist government this could never happen. There would be no divorces because there would be no marriages. It Is a crying shame tbat men and women should be bound to gether by marriage ties. I believe In a government In which every man and woman should do as he or she pleases. Cars and elevated trains and everything would be free. There would be no Jeal ousies. Anarchists as a rule are unselfish. No one would demand more than another. Everything would be equalized. There would be no accumulation of wealth. The desire for wealth, after all. Is childish. It Is like little children who want more toys. It means a lack of Intelligence. "Wealth does not bring happiness. Un der anarchy there would be no crime. There would be no need for any one to steal because all would have enough to live on. "What do I Intend to do to bring this about? For the next two or three months I shall lecture In the different cities In the vicinity of New Tork. In March next I shall make a tour of the country to spread anarchistic teachings."

A MILITARY SPECTACLE can Exposition are the first reminders of It that will be brought before the general PLANS FOR M'KIXLEY'S SECOND INAUGURATION. Elaborate Illumination of the Capi tol and "White House Provided For An Expensive Ball. NEW TORK. Dec 24. President McKln ley's second Inauguration March 4 next will be marked with a ceremonial splen dor never before attempted In the city, says the Washington correspondent ot tho World. The Inaugural committee, or which John Joy Edson Is chairman, in tends to make the inauguration a magni ficent spectacle. The main feature of the parade will be military. The committee has Invited state organizations to parti cipate, and from the responses It is prob able that more militia bodies will be In line that ever before. The regular troops around Washington will be brought here The cadets from the military and naval academies will also be In attendance. Civic bodies will be well represented, but the object of the committee will be to make the parade a's military as possible. Hundreds of applications have been re ceived from Rough Rider committees that wish to participate. An innovation will be the decorations of the Capitol and White House. Mr. Kd son will ask Congress to authorize the running of electric light wires over the White House. He Intends that the Capi tol building and especially the great dome shall be outlined In Incandescent globes and that the same plan shall be fol lowed with the executive mansion and other public buildings. Electric lights will be placed In all the parks and reser vations which are supplied with foun tains. The ball of the last McKlnley Inaugu ration, which was unanimously declared the finest In the history of these func tions, will be eclipsed by the one to come, which will be held In the Pension Office. More than 510,000 will be expended In deco rations. More than 545,000 of the neces eary 550,000 fund has been subscribed. The Twenty-third Ohio Volunteer Regi ment, In which President McKlnley served during the war, will attend in a body. The survivors of the first Republican con vention, that of 1S55, will ride In car riages directly behind the President. The reviewing stand from which President Mc Klnley will witness the parade will be di rectly In front of the Executive Mansion and surrounded by a court of honor. A plan for a triumphal arch Is being con sidered by the committee, but whether or not tho arch will be decided upon, is a question. Tfc Navy, for the first time In an Inau gural ceremony, will be represented, m command of Admiral Dewey, all the war ships in Eastern waters will be ordered to Washington and steam up the Poto mac River. public throughout the entire country. J These stamps arc now In process of man , ufacture by the Government, and will be placed upon sale in the various postofilccs J early In the new year.

General Da vis, when seen at the War Department concerning the report made public today by Dr. Williams, a contract surgeon in the Department of Porto Rico, setting forth an appalling state of affairs among; the coffee-planters of the Island, said that from his knowledge of affairs In the section of Porto Rico, he should char acterize Dr. Williams statement as great-, ly exaggerated. That there Is suffering In the coffee planting section of the country, the General said he has no doubt. The heavy losses incurred by the big hurri cane, he said, could have no resuelt other than to reduce generally the means of the planters, who lost 512,000,000 worth or coffee by the big storm. When General Davis was military Governor of the island, the War Department Issued ra tions to the people of Porto Rico, In order to help them to weather over the evil effects of the hurricane. When the Gov ernment passed under civil service ad ministration, however, the Issuance of the rations was discontinued, as it wa believed the Islanders had sufficiently re covered. The General said that Dr. Williams was an acting assistant surgeon in the De partment, and accompanied a small expe dition under command of Major Watt, Fifth Cavalry, which, on a march across the island traversed the coffee-planting region. The doctor reported a bad state of affairs In this section. In the way of sickness and want of food, and was asked ,for a fuller report by General Davis. This was turned over to Governor Allen. Presents for the McKUnleys. NEW TORK, Dec. 24. A special to the World from Washington says: Christmas presents are arriving in great numbers at the White House, coming from relatives, personal friends and ad mlrers of the McKlnleys. The character of the gifts is varied. Some are costly, others unique, and not a few are on the freak order. They come not only from the States, but from the West Indies and the far East. Cigars without num ber are sent to the President from Cuba, Porto Rico and Manila. Tropical fruits, including crates of pineapples, bananas and oranges, have been received at the Executive Mansion, and turkeys, bar rels of apples and wild game have come from friends within the States. On of the first presents to arrive was a white turkey from Dublin, Va., weighing 20 pounds. It was the wish of the donor that this big bird might grace the table over which the Chief Executive presided on Christmas day. The wish may be gratified. Nnvnl Matters. WASHINGTON, Dec 24.

Hill, -president of the Great Northern Railroad, and one of the largest stockholders of the North ern Pacific, is regarded as indicative of important action of the directors of the last-named road this week. Persons con nected with the Northern Pacific manage ment say that arrangements have been practically completed for the retirement of the 575,000,000 of the preferred stock of that company. The provisions of the Northern Pacific reorganization -plan give the directors the right to retire the pre ferred stock at par, either wholly or in part, on call, prior to January 1, lS17.,r Bryan Will Answer Cleveland.
