German band members face habeas corpus case in immigration court
The six German immigrants, detained after a court appearance following the Jacob Dick incident, faced a continued habeas corpus matter in the U S Circuit Court before Justice Aldrich. Wrightington testified he acted under treasury orders and held them from October 21 to November 10. Keating argued the 1891 act conflicts with 1887 law, but Aldrich refused to review the secretary's proceedings, noting aliens may appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals. The Germans planned to sail from New York the next day. Separately, the World’s WCTU elected officers at its all day Faneuil Hall session with Frances Willard named president amid ceremonial escort.

FAMINES IN HISTORY Before the last half century
The Providence Journal notes that famines were far more common historically than in the past fifty years. It lists ancient and medieval famines in Italy, Britain, Ireland, and Europe, with vast death tolls, then contrasts with Asia where 19th century famines killed hundreds of thousands to millions. It cites Morocco none. It concludes that improved internal links reduce wholesale starvation and that Russia, Persia, and China may still face risk.
