Texas Judge Renders Decision That Cause
Sensation.
AUSTIN, Tex.-Judge Key of the district
court rendered his decision in favor of
the state in the suit against the Southern
Pacific railroad company by virtue of
state certificates issued since 1876. The
decision, if sustained by the supreme
court, will unsettle the titles of 1900, 900
acres of land and cause endless litigation.
Real estate men are astonished at the de-
cision and appalled, at the future outlook
should it be sustained. The case today
was test case. The question at issue is
one of the graves. Importance to nearly
every railroad in the state.

THE STATES DEFENDERS
The Third Regiment OF the National
Guard in Camp.
1t is Thought One of Cronin'S Mur-
dererS has Been Captured.
Numerous Bodies Still Being I'm
earthed at Johnstown.

CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis, June IA
sturds and soldiery lot of fellows, take
them all in all, are the boys of who CON
ssitute the mass of the Third regiment,
Wisconsin National Guard, and they
| never looked better than when they
marched gaily into camp today from
Camp Douglas station, with colors flying
and much blaring of martial music.
There are eleven companies in the regi-
ment this year, under the new militia
law, and about 400 men are in camp.
Camp Douglas station is little village of
few hundred inhabitants at the junction
of the Chicago d Northwestern and the
Milwaukee st. Paul, and to its geo
graphical situation, railroad connections
and Typographical advantages is due it's
selection as the location of the state
camp grounds. The Third regiment en-
csmpment is the first CONF any by state
troops of the rounds SO wisely provided
by the last legislature. All encampments
of state troops will be held here, excep pt
that of the Second regiment this summer,
which will be held in Oshkosh, in defer
ence to the wish of the people of that
city TO have one more encam pment there.
Enough of the Legislative appropriation
has already been expended here TO place
the camp grounds IN very good condition,
but the proposed assembly hall and the
hospital are yet to be erected. Every
necessary convenience, however, has been
provided, and there is q fine, broad parade
about half a mile northwest of the station
and the white city of tents is fanked
on the east, and in the distance on the
west by gooded bluffs. A chief feature is
the rifle range, 400 feet broad and 1000
yards in length, which is north of the
camp and at right angles with an abrupt
bluff which completely serves the pur-
pose OF a bullet stop. The range-house
and the pit is connected by 9. telephone
line, and the range is in all other respects
equipped to perfection.
The great day of the week in camp
will be Thursday, when Gov. Hoard and
staff will arrive and the review will take
place. Special trains and excursion rates
are being arranged for and there will be
a large crowd.
The regiment has been provided with
white helmets ont of the lot recently pur-
Al
which 500 were delivered here Saturday

public is admitted to the library between the
hours of nine and four every day except
Sunday and persons are at liberty to call
for any desired books for purposes of refer
ence but are not allowed to take them away.
Tables and chairs are furnished for the con-
venience of readers. Members of Congress
and certain officials are allowed to take
books away with the understanding that
they must be returned within certain time.
Leaving the library, the visitor passes
through the north door to the Supreme
Court Room. This was formerly the Senate
Chamber. Admission can only be had when
the court is in session. 1t was in this room
that the Electoral Commission sat in Febru-
ary, 1877.
Thence through broad corridor the visi-
tor passes to the Senate Chamber, room
of similar arrangement to the Hall of the
House of Representatives. 1t is not so
large, however, being but 1I2 feet long by
So wide, and it is much better furnished
than the Hall of the House. Back of the
Vice-President's chair, and separated from
the Senate by spacious lobby, is the
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-05

famous Marble Room, where senators
may receive callers during sessions of the
body. This is a well-proportioned and
beautiful room, the ceiling supported by
lofty Corinthian columns of Italian marble,
and the walls lined with costly mirrors.
Adjoining it on the north is the Presidents
room; it is so called because it is used by
the President whenever he has occasion to
visit the Capitol to confer with members of
Congress in person. During the last hours
of session the President invariably occu-
pies this room with the members of his
Cabinet to sign bills as they are passed by
the two Houses, as in case he does not sign
before the session closes these enactments
fail of becoming laws. At the opposite end
of the lobby is the Vice-President's room.
Here Henry Wilson died. East of this
room is the vast apartment known as the
Ladies' Reception Room, where ladies may
come to call on Senators on business. Still
further south is the post office of the Senate,
from which entrance is gained to the office
of the Sergeant-at-Arms. On the north
side of the Senate Chamber are the Offices
of the Secretary of the Senate.

Avenue, across which is Lafayette Park.
From the north front projects a huge por-
tlco, under which the carriages of visitors
are driven. The south front looks upon
a lovely park stretching down to the Wash
ington monument. The visitor enters at
the north door, and finds himself at once in
magnificent vestibule 40 by 50 feet in
size. A sash screen, filled with colored and
ornamented glass, separates the vestibule
from the corridor running in front of the
Blue, Red and Green parlors and the State
dining-room. Ushers are in attendance to
show to visitors those portions of the house

This last is used more than any other, as
the sitting-room for the Presidents family.
The State dining-room is in the southwest
corner of the house. 1t is 40 by 80 feet,
and is very richly furnished. The family
dining-room is also on the first floor, in the
northwestern part of the house. The east
half of the floor above is used for the trans
action of public business. Here the clerks
and secretaries are found, and here is the
Cabinet Room were cabinet sessions are
held, and where the President usually
receives visitors on ordinary routine busi-
ness. The kitchens, store-rooms, servants
quarters, ETC., are in the basement. The
conservatory is attached to the west end of
the building. 1t is beautiful and completely
appointed and cost over $4,000. The
Executive stables are at some distance
southwest of the mansion. They cost over
$4,000. The White House was first
occupied by John Adams in 1900, the cor
ner stone having been laid in 1902. It was
burned by the British in 1914. The cost of
the present structure was something over
$500, 900. Portraits of the various presi-
dents are hung throughout the building.
