RAILROAD CASES.
A Motion to be Made 10 Advance Them
on the Docket.

In a number of suits brought by holders
OF State bonds of Tennessee TO enforce
statutory liens upon certain railroad prop
erty IN the State, q motion will be made the
first Monday ia March in the Supreme
Court of the United States, 70 advance
causes. A notice 10 this effect has been re-
ceived by Marshal Williamson and served on
Archibald Wright, representing the Mobile
and Ohio railroad and the Mississippi and
Tennessee, aud w. Y. C. Humes, az solicitor
for the Memphis and Charleston. The
notice states that these suits are brought by
holders of State bonds of Tennessee to en-
force statutory liens upon certain railroad
property in Tennessee. The question pre-
sented by these appeals is: Who is the real
debtor for great part of the obligations OF
Tennessee, in which the State is nominally
bound? "The fact that several millions Of
Sale bonds, and likewise OF bonds of the
railroad companies, will be affected by the
decision OF the Supreme Court, upon the
issues in these causes, ia not the most i'm
portant consideration involved. Nor is the
very large number of individuals interested
in the result the most essential matter upon
this motion. The major ground for adj
vaucing these appeals on the calendar 10 the
involvement of the financial and tax system.

1t appears from the public documents Of the
State OF Tennessee that for several years past,
while these suiis have been pending, the
public sffsirs OF the State have bsen infu-
eneed, Indeed dominated, by the divisions of
opinion upon the questions at issue 10 these
causes. Political parties have been formed
and have succeeded 10 power principally
upon the ground that The railroads are
legally bound TO pay the State bonds issued
TO them. The journals of the Legislature
demonstrate that this vital question has un-
derlaid the proceedings of that body. Vsri-
GUS measures have been enacted by the
Legislature for the compromise of the State
debt paid in all these schemes; the holders
Of the bonds involved in these suits have
been required to make large reduction
upon their clsims-which they believe to be
collec able in full by the enforcement of the
statutory liens asserted in these causes
Finally, all these efforts have proved uu-
availing, the public affairs of one of the
States of the Union remain in a confused

court which is TO form the basis for reorgan.

Abandoning, therefore, any hope Of secur-
ing, under the present conditions, any consid-
cradle immigration from Europe, attention
was directed to the States North aud East. By

AMERICAN PORK.
Memorial Concerning the Threatened
Prohibition of It's importation
Into Germany.

New YORK, February 9-The Chamber of
Commerce has issued a memorial to the
President on the subject OF the prohibition of
the importation OF American bacon and
hams into Germany. The memorial states
that the conclusions drawn by the German
government are not justified, and can form
no reasonable ground for the contemplated
prohibition OF American bacon and hams
Il concludes as follows: In view OF the fact
that the thorough and systematic exclusion
OF diseased hogs from our packing establish
menls can easily be proved to any fair
minded man that will take the trouble Of
examining into the process connected with
the preparation OF these products for market,
your memsrialists respectfully suggest that
the German government should be invited
to examine into this matter by com mission
of experts sent to this country, before final
decision lie taken on the proposed measure.

AuIuterview with Leo Hartmann.

PHILADELPHIA. February 9-Leo Hart
mana, the Russian ninilisf, who arrived in
this city in company with SIX others, four of
whom are known TO be Russians, speaks
freely OF the revolutionary movement in his
nstive country. He denied that nihilism
mad been suppressed, and declared that the
coronation of the Czir would not take place
on the 9th oil May. The reason the Gar
could at present move from one point 10 an-
other in safety was because each district was
under complete police surveillance and filed
with spies. The nihilis!s permitted the
Gar TO live simply because they failed to
reach him. The hour for action, however,
is near a. hand. Krapotkine was not really
the chief of the nihiliss. They had
no personal chief and recognized
no leader. His action 10 the social
movement in France was simply that Of a
representative of the Russian nIhilists when
they met 10 form propaganda. The nihilist
headquarters were not in England. The
Executive Committee was composed OF per-
sons living 10 different sections. They met
when necessary, then dispersed. Their
action was not binding. Organization ex-
lifted in all parts of Europe. Hartmann and
his friends left last night on the Baltimore
and Ohio train. Herr Most remains until

labor pays all the taxes and supports

avenues of commerce and travel, and
the transmission Of intelligence; it
Yields undue influence over the public press
and elections; it corrupts all legislative,
judicial and executive officers, and above all
it initiates aud controls the volume Of cur
rency and credits, which enables it to create
panics, destroy property values, paralyz.
business, throw labor out of employment
and stop the demand for its production"
The attention Of all patriotic citizens is then
invited to the statement of the principles, in
which are advocated the prompt payment
OF the public debt; the issuance by the

THELABOR PROBLEM.

IN NEW ENGLAND
WASHINGTON, February 9-The examina-
ton OF Frank K. Foster, of Massachusetts,
was continued this morning before the SEN
ate Committee on Education and Lsbor.
Foster said most of the tenement houses in
the manufacturing cities of Massach usetts
were owned by The mill.owners, and the les
sees were compelled TO furnish 30 many ope-
ratives. The houses were generally small,
ill-ventiated and uncomfortable, and the
operatives were compelled 10 live in the com.
psnies' houses or be dismissed. The sewer
age and sanitary facilities are terribly bad,
and on summer nights the stencil from the
cesspools ia nearly overpowering. The
French Canadians are 10 New England what
the Chinese are to California and the Pacific

ties fewer, and their only aim seems to be TO
see how much money they can get to take out

TO send them, often move TO other places.
They seldom accept the right of franchise,
Out of population of 1858 in thirty.two

spoke strongly against the employment Of
children OF tender years. Little cash boys
and girls are employed in large numbers in
city stores, not old enough in many cases to
be ont from under the eye of their mothers.
They work during the busy season from
