TSTew To-Day ew or )enmg‘ ! The supreme court ot Indiana has handed down a decision in the Smith- Itobertson case, in which the former prayed for an injunction to restrain the latter from exercising the duties of lieu tenant governor, a position to which lie was chosen at the general election in November last. Tho opinion refuses the injunction on the ground of want of jurisdiction, thus in effect, de­ claring that the case must be decided In the general assembly and not by the courts. A bill has passed congress creating a new department to bo known as the “Department of Agriculture and Labor,” with a secretary and assitant secretary, anda commissioner at the head of the bureau of labor. Tho weather service of the signal service is to be transferred to tlio new department July 1st next. The chief signal officer of tho army may be assigned to the charge of the weath­ er bureau until the chief of the bureau is appointed and confirmed. So anxious was the Marquis of Queens- berry to go with Stanley on bis expedi­ tion to relieve Emir Bey, that he was willing to pay $20,000 toward the expens­ es if he were allowed to share with Stanley and his little band ot five Eng­ lishmen the dangers and glories of the enterprise. He would lie a good man to have along. He could “knock out” the natives “marquis of Queensbcrry rules” you know. The president lias intimated to some of his most personal political friend« that during the summer, in company with Mrs. Cleveland and members ot the cabinet with their ladies, he will make and extended trip through the south and west, lie will visit the south in the spring and tho west after warm weather.
