the franklin have limited the amount

Hot Springs Commission.

Hor SPRINGS, ARK, March 15.-There
is a general anxiety here that Congress
should legislate promptly 10 extend the
term OF the Hot Springs Commission
which will require q year 10 adjust the
conflicting claims OF settlers on the gov.
ernment reservation and until that is ac-
complished nothing can be done towards
rebuilding the recently burned district or
securing sanitary or other improvements
that are essential for the benefit Of the
invalids resorting to these healing waters.
II Congress will but settle the land titles,
the revenue from water rents will fully
refund the Federal expenditures here
and local taxation and private enterprise
will do the rest. There are thousands Of
health seekers here now and the number
nearly doubles annually. The expiration
OF the Commissioners term before Its
work is done would be a public calamity.
LITTLE Rock, March ia public
meeting was held at Hot Springs to-day 10
remonstrate against the passage OF the
Senate bill extending the time Of the
Commission and authorizing the Super.
intendent to lease the water to the Hot

dered the decision in the Arlington case
sustaining the plaintiffs demurrer TO
the Attorney Generals suggestion that
because the United States was indirectly
a defendant to the suit the court had
no Jurisdiction to try 1t. The ruling is
that II the sovereign power interyenes in
the suit, in which It e not defendant on

be sued, the court will look into the
grounds Of its right to intervene, and that
accordingly the government in this suit
