His honor instructed Chief Gaster to afford Mr. Peters and his associates the fullest police protection and ordered the Proven zano brothers, Joe and Peter, to call on him in his office.

When Provenzano presented himself the mayor said: "Joe Pirovensano, 1 haVe sent for you to talk plain, straight Kngliflb, and I mean everything I say to you. I and every other decent citizen are disgusted witn the Dago disturb-

You need not deny it, as your people deny every thing, for we all well know that von are one-ol the leaders of a lawless, bloodthirsty gang. You are now using the longshoremen as a means of recapturing the fruit.Iading. You have shown vour hand and 1 have called you down. "You need not tell me you are unjustly treated.

Fight.

This morning the metropolitan police defenders who have been quivering since their last stroke, received their death blow and their agony in now ended and alf%ihat they can do is to make a few ^j«ak expiring kicks. The court room legan to be the center of attraction about 9 o'clock and by the time the court was ready to -strike from the shoulder there was quite an assemblage present to see what strength lay in the arm of the law, and they were satisfied that it was strong enough for all practical purposes when they left the room. There did not .seem to be much interest taken on the part of the metropolitan police commissioners and their counsel, in Judge McNutt's decision this morning. It fact these gentlemen by their actions gave the impression that they were fully acquainted with the substance of the court's decision before he had rendered it, J. D. Early was the only commissioner present. Sam Hamill was out of the room part of the time the decision was being rendered, while John E. Lamb and F. A. McNutt seemed veiy listless, and their attention was of the kind that expects disappointment. The court room filled up with spectators as the court proceeded. Judge Taylor and all of the attaches of the circuit court laid off long enough to go into the superior court room ti see the siatigh ter of the most gigantic outrage ever «nmv the wwmje of Terre

"City Attorney Stimson and his partner, Alvin M. HigginB, who has assisted Mr. Stimson all the way through the con test, were both present*when Judge McNutt said "Gentlemen I have come to the conclusion in this case that a general denial is not admissable. There is no case in all of the Indiana decisions in which a general denial to a quo waranto proceeding has come directly in issue before the supreme court. In fact there is only one case in which it has maintained it to be possible defense and in that case the supreme court as well or the circuit court did not regard it being of sufficient importance to the issues which were decided to make it subject of decision. But I have found that the supreme court of Illinois has repeatedly decided this question, and in as much as the Illinois statutes in reference to the subject of quo warranto are simply an Import although different in phraseology to ours I feel that their decisions are binding upon me to some ex tent although I must confess that I have bad some slight doubts but it seems to me that It would not be proper practice for a defendant who is asked to come luto court and state by what right he holds aa office, to file an answer denying the right of the plaintiff to that office. The plaintiff stands in the place of the state and the state is the soverign power. It an rely would not be fitting for the defendant to demand el the soverign its right to the office and for these reasons I moat hold that the general denial is not an available answer in this proceeding. ^5?' r-j? "And now we are td &&i!<ief itto whether the special answer as amended and relied upon by the defendauts is sufficient According to my views in the (Mtriier stages of thte case every offiewr Who performs duty enjoined by legi«l*tiv* act, must be preeamed to bate treated the whole *ct constitutional until seaside by the judgment of some court, but it is doubtful in my mind as to whether an officer in the performance of such an act can come in and set up that he has disregarded certain portions of it which have been declared unconstitutional on demurrer by a court of law, for that weald eeeooL l^|jlewting evidence. "Taking fkfo view ol tbe ea» «hd 1m* garbling the cspreasdecision of the supveme «o*ut that the five ye**residence ttaai-i:. atkn is plainly u^rai&tatiot&ai, I feel haitad te dedde in aecordaftce therewith, although I differ widely from tfce views laid down thereisu It «NNHB» to mi' that tim mmmfag of the coort in this caae wwM owrtbraw a great many elections that we have beld, for it is well known that |l«ction boank eertain r««»4 )UAlsacatlo«8 wonkl be i»d«arly uiscwMtitaUoaal those decided so in this act, end if the Reasoning is «ood lor ooe a samly wo«ld apply to the oth«n».

I disagree with the decision of the court and think it onsonnd, but I am bound by it and am bound, therefore, to «ud it in conflict with secsection 23, article 1 of the constitution which savs that *Tbe general aswmbly shall not grant to any citixen or claw ol dtixens privileges or immunities which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all cittzena.' "Now, gentlemen, tke question anaee as to whether if these provisions of the bill concerning the qualification of the commissioners and concerning the political complication of the police are eliminated, will the law stand? In order to understand that, it is plain in my mind that we must find out what was the intention of the legislature in passing this bill, and if the intention of th« legislature can still be carried out through this act although parts of it be invalid, then the answer would be good.* But, if not, then the whole law falls. That has been decided by our supreme court in many decisions. In order to ascertain the intention of the legislature in passing this act we muatj go back to the time before the main body of the amended act was passed in 1883 and what do we find? It is a well known matter of history, and especially well known to me thx t, at that time, the city of Indianapolis was after the dominion of the police department which was thoroughly partisan and corrupt, and was merely used fer a political machine, filled with bums, thugs and heelers of the very worst possible description

In order to

obviate this and to take the police delii partment of that city out of politics, and for no other reason whatever the legislature passed that act, and it is a fact wellknown to every citizen that the legislature would not have passed that act but for the purpose of making the police department non parhsian, and if the courts can eliminate from an act, the very feature which caused its passage in the legislature, and can then enforce the remainder of that law, then

that the courts would

be doing the legislating and not the general assembly. For these reasons I am compelled to hold that the defendant's answers are bad and shall enter up judgement in favor of the city. "Sdlhe persons have complained because court Haas not acted sooner in this matter. Perhaps I could have aeted sooner, perhaps I ought to have acted sooner, but 1 didn't. I believe it to be the duty of every court to be very slow in deciding an act of the legislature unconstitutional until h© is firmly convinced that such is the case^"

The defendants' counsel, Hamill, came into court and asked Judge McNutt to defer judgment until to morrow morning, as he wished to make his pleadings very specific, but the court insisted that no new matter should he filed changing the status of the pleadings, which HamiU agreed to, and then the court announced that upon these corrected pleading being filed to-morrow morning ne would render judgment for the city. After judgment is rendered the court will issue an order of ouster for the metropolitan office®, and the gang will be flat on its back, bound hand and foot, a gag between their teeth, with two lovely black eyes and a broken nose. nerve to either toEe aha.. of venue is yet to be seen. As wili.be remembered, when the defendants howled for a change of venue from the county some time ago, stating in their affidavits that there was so mueh prejudice against the bill that they could net get a fair trial here, the court granted the change but added "not until it has been tried on its merits here." Now it has been tried on its merits and as the change was granted long ago all that the defendants hove to stand in their way is a wholesome fear of another hard slug in the event of their improving their op-

SAN DIEGO, May D8.-*-Purser Walton of Pacific coast steamship Newbern, in an fnterview said the Chilian man-of-war Esmeralda was short of coal when the Newbern passed heron the 1st inst., off cape San Lucas. Officers of the'Esmeralda visited the Newbern at San Jose Del Cabo next day and said their destination was some port in the United States where they could get coal. Tfcey also inquired as to the quantity of coal the Newbern was carrying and seemed disappointed when informed thatthe steamer had only a small quantity. Walton says he has no doubt it was the purpose of the Esmeralda to hold the Newborn up at sea and take her fuel from her but she gave up the idea when she found that the amount carried by the passenger steamer was so small. The purser corroborated the Captain Von Helm's Story about seeing another war ship mudi larger than the Esmeralda on the night of ttie firsts He thinks this also must have been an insurgent ship for the officers of the Esmeralda knew of her whereabouts and did not appear to be alarmed as would have been the casa If the ship had been Balmaceda's Impeiiale. The officers of the Esmeralda refusM to tell the name of the other ship when questioned.

The Esmeralda's captain says that his vessel ba« not ca^ed at arjy American pott. Consequently, he says, it is not probaWethat the United States authorities will interfere with the movements of either* himself or his vessel. An of-

his remark has given rise to the report that the Itata coaled at sea, and proceeded to her destination, wbile the Chilian war ship steamed for Acapulco to throw the United States authorities off the track.

He Ha* h«en Placed in FRII Charge of the Charleston. WASHINGTON, May 18.—An oider has been sent by Secretary Tracy to Commodore McCann, now on his flagship, the Baltimore, at Iquiqne, Chili, placing the Charleston under his immediate command. So that in fnture the movements of ihat vessel will be under his direction instead of under orders from the navy department, as Bhe har been since leaving San Francisco in search of the Itata This order will give Commodore McCann

tractically discretionary power tiie future course of the ton in her chase of the insurgent vessel, He wih not bo likely to make any changes in'ihe course that has already been pursued. It is thought the Charleston will take atleastttwc^days and perhaps longer to coal, as ships el! her class can't load fast owing to the location «f some of the eoal bins. This will d* pend, however, entirely upon the quantity of coal she needs to fill her bunkem. By the time she has coaled some new light may be thrown on the whereabouts of the Itata. It is not likely the Esmeralda would seek toprocare coal at any of the ceo eosst towns on the Central Amertcan or Columbian coasts, as these countries would undoubtedly act ss Mexico has done in refusing to violate the neu trafity laws by aiding the iBsutrents to replenish their coal munitions of war.
