When that conciliation came round the Justices hav ing taken feminine counsel, all reported against their original view that the article Involved in the case should be classed ns a sauce, and accordingly the Justice origi nally charged with the task of preparing a decision In faor of the go eminent was now instructed to prepare one in tat or of the New York lawyer's client. It thus happened that the lawyer won his first case before tho Supreme Court because tlie wives of the Justices knew more than the court Itself. Borne curiosity is expressed In naval' circles as to the destination of the Minne apolis. This speedy cruiser, the sister -ship of the Colombia, which recently made so successful a run across tbo Atlan tic, Is now atNorfolk, where she is being fitted out as a flagship. She will not M assigned to tbe North Atlantic station, for the armored cruiser New York la the flagship of tbet squad ron. It Is not expected that she will relieve the Ban Francisco, which is now In Euro pean waters, or" tyie Newark, which It the flagship of the South Atlantic squad ron. The Olympla, on tbe other hand, has been ordered to tbe China, station as flag ship, and It is believed for this reason that tbe service which tbe Minneapolis will perform will be of a special character. There Is a probability that she may alsc be sent to the East Id order that tbe offi cials of China and Japan may Judge for themselves the quality of tbe ships that this country is now building. As the Jap anese government purposes to largely In crease Its navy. It is probable that If tbe Minneapolis Is sent to that station, she may prove so Instructive an object lesson as to result lu some of tbe contracts of tbe Japanese government being given to American shipbuilding firms. . MAY BE TAKEN TO COURT. IN HIGHER FIELDS. H.FBIEDLANDER&BRO., Cor. Ninth & E Sts. OYERKULED MY THEllf WIVES. A Cnno Whore All the Justice of tbe SuprenieCoiirtChuiicedTlielrJlliidH. It was a matter of some surprise that Justice hhiras. of the United States Su Upreme Court, should hao changed his mind within a few weeks upon a matter of law, but it is not many months since the whole cojX, (ranged Its mind on such a matter, and that in the course of a few tiays, says the New York Sun. The case lwfore the court was one aris ing out of a curiums decision at this port, and the counsel arguing against the de cision of the cus-lorus house was a New York lawyer, then for the first time be fore the Supreme Cojrt. The case turned mainly upon the question whether an ar ticle of Importation should or should not be clasid as a sauce. The custom bouse had called it a sauce and taxed it accord ingly. The Government maintained this contention, and, of course, the New York lawyer sought to show thnt the article should not lie classed as a sauce. When tl e Supreme Court came to consult upon the case their unanimous opinion was favorable to the contention of the go em inent nnsc one of Uic Justices was instructed to preptre a decision in favor of the custom bouse The Justice, on rilurnlng home, told bis wife of the case and indicated the ground of the declslou, whereupon the lady told hlra in plain words that the Justices pt the Supremo Court did not know what they were talklug about and had agreed upon an unjust decision The lady was entirely clear that the article In dispute could not properly be called a sauce and openly ridiculed the court. .

In his efforts to enforce tbe requirements of the fire escape law Building Inspector Brady meets with many perplexities. His assistants are examining all build ings that are supposed to require tbe equipment, and in some cases notices have been served that will in all probability lead to a suit in court. The owners decline to comply upon tech nical points, but the Inspector insists that thecourtsinustdccidethepointsatissue,and if the decision upholds tho objector Mr. Brady's responsibility ceases. Tlie building Inspector's 's idea Is that be should be git en discretionary powers, and it Is pot at all unlikely that Congress wjll be asked to amend thelaw with that end In view. Should fire break out many build ings of three stories, though much less In helgbt than Is prescribed, Mr. Brady con tends, it would be attended with very great danger to the occupants, and be believes all such structures should be brougbt within the law.
