These are Justice Brewer of the supreme court of the United States and Justice Alvey of the supreme court of the District of Co lumbia. It is thought that their names and that of the third member of the com mission may be offlcially announced after the cabinet meeting today. An interesting story is told in connec tion with the selection of Justice Brewer. His ability as a great lawyer is undoubt ed, and the president holds him in the highest esteem, but he is a nephew of As sociate Justice Field, and that weighs heavily in his favor. Justice Field is far p a s t t h e ag e of re t i r e m e n t . H e Is feenie, a n d o n l y b o l d s h i s s e a t i n o r d e r to pre- I JUSTICE BREWER. vent President Cleveland from appointing his successor. When Justice Brewer was appointed, under President Harrison, it was expected that Justice Field would retire, but be did not. Afterward a feud arose between the Clevelands and the Fields over some gossip reflecting on the president and attributed to the Fields. There has been bad feeling between the families ever since. In distinguishing Justice Brewer the president, it is said, will establish friend ly re l a t i o n s o n c e m o r e with .Ju s t ic e F ie l d , and thereby obtain a desired vacancy on the supremo bench. Whether this be so or not. Justice Brewer’s selection will please .Justice Field greatly. Sketch o f J'ustice B r e w e r . David Josiah Brewer, associate justice of the United States supreme court, was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, June SO, 1837. He is the son of the Rev. Josiah Brower and Emilia A. Field, sister of Da vid Dudley, Cyrus W. and Justice Ste phen J. Field. His father was an early missionary to Turkey. The present jus tice was graduated from Yale college in 1856 and from the Albany Law school in 1858, and established himself in his pro fession at Leavenworth, Kan., in 1859, where he lived until he removed to Wash ington to enter upon his present duties. In 1861 he was judge of the probate and criminal courts of Leavenworth county. From 1865 to 1869 he was judge of the district court, and from 1869 to 1870 was county attorney for Leavenworth. In 1870 he was elected a justice of the supi¥3me court of his state and was re elected in 1876 and 1882. In 1884 he was appointed judge of the circuit court of the United States for the Eighth district, and was appointed to his present place to suc ceed Justice Stanley Matthews in Decem ber, 1889, and was commissioned Dec, 18, 1889., ________ S o m e r s e t In a W a r lik e M ood. L o n d o n , Deo. 31.—The Duke of Somer set writes to The Post this morning pro testing against Lord Salisbury’s doing anything to assist the Venezuelan com mission, which, the duke says, ought to be ignored. “If England yields in the slightest to America, “ he continues, “it will be ruinous to our prestige, as when Mr. Gladstone allowed our flag to be trod den upon by the Boers.” The Chronicle, in the course of a com plimentary editorial, sends a New Year’s greeting and good wishes to America and to President Cleveland. A Melbourne dispatch to The Times says: “A banquet was held at Adelaide to celebrate Foundation day, and many patriotic speeches were made. Hon. James Henry Young, the minister of works for New South Wales, who is American born, ridiculed the idea of war. Mark Twain was also present, and echoed the senti ment that the talk of war between blood relations was absurd.” The newspapers this morning are large ly occupied With reviews of the year’s events, but Justice Brewer’s appointment to the Venezuelan commission is approved by the press. T r u s t ConcerUs In s o lv e n t . S t . L o u is , Dec. 81,-—Attorney I. A. W. Alderson, on behalf of the state treasurer, filed petitions asking for receivers for the Trust and Fund Loan association and the National Guarantee and Investment com pany. It is alleged that State Supervisor Gray has made an examination of the books of both concerns, and that they are insolvent and being improperly managed. The assets of the Trust Fund Loan asso ciation are given at $10,000 and the Na tional Guarantee and Investment compa ny at 135,000. Both are declared by the- iupervisor to be insolvent. - F u r u a c e s S h a t D o w n .

Moffert of Denver^ to the Buffalo Courier. “ I firmly be lieve that some day in the near future we’ll have air lines of tran^ortation between all points-—either up in the air or otherwise. I ’m bound for New-York, and I ’d save 12 hours’ travel if I could go in a straight line from Denver to New York. For instance, the air line distance between Chicago and New York is 700 m iles; by rail it is 961 miles. From Buffalo to New York it is 295 miles in an air line, 422 miles by raill Why, our country is so great that the public lands here exceed in the number of square, miles the whole of -Russia in Europe. The state of Texas is- much larger than Austria, Germany or France; New Mexico is larger than England^ ii'eland,, Scotland and Wales combined: Montana is larger than Norway, Mis souri is larger than Turkey in Europe, Kentucky is larger than Portugal, West- Virginia is larger than Greece, Arizona is as large as Italy, Indiana is twice as large as Switzerland, and Wyoming and Oregon are as large as Spain. In the event of a successful war of conquest with Great Britain, or by annexatiouj if the United States should become pos sessed of Canada, it would add 3, 204,- 318 square miles of territory to the great republic, and our total area would then be 6,807,371 square miles. We would still be one-third smaller than the Rus sian empire and one-third larger than the Chinese empire. ” liOnsdale H a s O u tdone S c o tt. Sir Walter Scott rendered him«elf ridiculous by once seizing on a glass-out of which that respected monarchy George IV, had drunk, and retaining it as an inestimable relic. Lord Lonsdale has outdone him. The German emperor was good enough to pay him a visit, and subsequently to invite him to return the visit. Says Lord Lonsdale of his im perial friend: “ He is doubtless one of the greatest men that ever lived I I caur not imagine that Bismarck is a greater man; but, if I must make a comparison) I would place your monarch at the side of Moltke. ” His imperial majesty is, I gather, the equal of Moltke because he defeated one of his own generals (clever general!) ai^a sham fight, and he is the greatest man that ever lived because he was able to tell Lord Lonsdale the names of all the sculptors whose works were in the imperial palace and the pedigree of all the horses in the imperial stables. “ It i s . incomprehensible, ’ ’ ob serves his lordship, when dwelling on these evidences of genius. Simple youth-! -—^London Truth. A F r e s h S t a r t . Of Mr. Arthur Coventry, the English race track oflQcial, this story is told. On his way to the milepost one day the ofiSoial was accosted by a broken down but gentlemanly looking man. “ You don’t know me, Mr. C.,” said the man, “ and I don’t wonder at it; I’ve comedown in the world. But I was at Oxford with you. My name’s Tom linson. ’ ’ “No, I don’t know you,” said Mr; O., “ bulwhat do you want?” “ Well, things have gone aU wrong, I’m broke, and I want you to give me a fresh start.” “ Certainly. Come along here a bit. They went on down the course, and presently at the end of the “ straight’’ Mr. C. stopped short, raised bis flag for a moment, let it fall and cried “ Go!’’ iipecttil aWMEINDIIDERVElB.
