THE CLEMSON WILL CASE.

Motion to Advance the3 Case on the
Docket OF tho United States Supreme
Court Made and Argued In
WnshinRton-DecIsIor Roserved.
Special to the News and Courier.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 90
There was an unusually brilliant ar
ray of legal talent from South Carroll
ma In the United States Supreme
Court room today. There were At
torney General Jos. Fl. Earle, Messrs.
A. Il. Smythe and J. l.. Orr, repre-.
Eenting the State of South Carolina in
the famous Clemson will case, and Ex.
Attorney General Leroy Youmans,
Messrs. J. p. Carey and Alexander
King, representing Miss Isabella Lee.
Ex-Governor Chamberlain, Con-
gressman Dibble and several other
South Carolinians were also present,
| but the latter were not connected
with the Clemson case. After Chief
Justice Fullor and his associates had
read several decisions the Court an
nounced its readiness to hear appeals
for motions on behalf of the State of
South Carolina.
Attorney General Earle presented
certain reasons why the Clemson case
shonld be advanced upon the docket
for oral argument thereon. Alter
briefly reciting the salient features of
the case, he submitted three points to
sustain his motion to advance:
First. That this case comes direct
ly within the rule which prescribes
that where the State is q party, the
State has right to submit to the
Court motion to advance.
Second. That the case is one upon
Its own merits, of such paramount
Importance, not only involving large
amounts, but also relating to large
educational interests, and of such ben
eft to the people at large that it de.
serves the attention of the Court and
its interposition under the enabling
statute for speedy determination Of
the same.
Third. That unless this case is adj
vanced and disposed so that actual
operations may be instituted by the
State before the Goth of April, 1891, a
very serious question will arise wheth-
or the State will not entirely lose the
benefit of the bequest.
Gen. Earle said that if the Court re-
fused to grant the motion to advance.
he hoped permission would be granted
to sabmit Che case upon printed arpu-
inents at the earliest practicable peri
od. He said that the counsel for Miss
Lee were willing to accept this propo-
sition.
: Justice Miller suggested that it
would be necessary for counsel to file
q certificate to that effect.
MIR. Youmans promptly stated that
the representatives Of Miss Lee were
willing to have the case advanced or
submit 10 upon printed arguments.
Chlef Justice Fuller remarked that |
Inc statement of Mr. Youmans in open
Court rendered printed certificate |
The case was taken un-
DER advisement, and the decision will |
not be rendered until next Monday.

Queen Of Spain.
IS

Maria Christina, the widowed queen OF
Spain, who rules as regent during the minor
ity OF her infant son, has kind heart. Upon
the death of the sister of CASTELAR,, the Repub-
lican leader and orator, the queen, knowing
how close was the intimacy that had existed
between them sent the following message by
the president Of the council:
Tell Senor CASTELAR, that forget that he
is the head of the Republican party, to re-
member only that he is a national glory, a
great orator, an unriyaled artist, and that I
share his sorrow as Spaniard and as q
queen"
A Spanish poet waged war against the
queen's regency SO bitterly that at last he
was tried, condemned and exiled. Being de-
pendent on his pen for his livelihood, his wife
and children left behind were soon reduced
to poverty. For their sake he solicited the
queens pardon. It was granted at once and
he returned to Spain. He then begged the
favor Of an audience that he might express
In person to the queen his gratitude and was
graciously received After few kind words,
the queen suddenly said:
"You are NOS very rich, scnor; literary
men OF genius rarely are, and you have
large family, am told"
u have six children, your ajesty."
"Six' said the queen. 'sWell, there will
be three for you and three for n,e"
