Maryland.West Va. Boundary.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun

Correspondence of the Baltimore SUM-
KINGWooD, w. Va, Feb. 2-The
correspondent of the Sun had an in
J terview few days ago with Judge
/ J. T. Hoke, of The Circuit Court here,
with reference to the disputed houn-
Diary between Maryland and West
Virginia. Judge Hoke expressed
himself as deeply interested iE the
subject and exceedingly anxious that
the matter should he settled between
the two States. He referred to the
controversies about land titles which
had eliminated in personal conflicts
and breaches of the peace, which
each State had treated as crimes
within its jurisdiction, and attemp-
ted to punish. He referred to the
further fact that both States levy up.
on and collect taxes from the unfOr-
tunaie people who live in the dis.
puted territory. The Judge said:
"West Virginia thought the question
ought to be amicably settled, and
therefore concluded to yield her right
to the territory in dispute and trans.
fer the same to Maryland provided
that State would protect the people
who had derived their titles from
Virginia. The object of the act
passed by the West Virginia Legis-
lature May 8, 1887. was to carry out
this purpose" "We thought it fair
and just" said the Judge, "that if
We gave Maryland our territory and
turned over our citizens to her, that
at least they should not be robbed of
their property, and especially as
Maryland before had pledged herself
to protect them. I have heard that
the Maryland Legislature at the ses-
sion of 1888 asked the opinion of the
encouragement as to what steps
should be taken by Maryland to
settle the boundary line dispute. De-
string to see that opinion, l went to
Baltimore and had an interview with
the attorney. general, during which l
called his attention to the act passed
by our Legislature in May, 1887.
That officer expressed himself as
greatly surprised, and inquired if the
Governor of West Virginia had ever
communicated that act to the Cover.
nor of Maryland"
The Sun correspondent then asked
Judge HOke to explain what he
meant by saying, maryland had be-
fore the act referred to pledged her.
self to protect the people living in
the disputed territory in their land
titles derived from the State of Vir-
ginia." II mean this" said the
Judge: 1.-THE Maryland act of No
vember, 1888. is entitled An act to
dispose of the reserved lands west
ward of Fort Cumberland. in Wash
ington county, and to fulfill the en-
gagements of this State 10 the officers
and soldiers of the Maryland line in
the service of the United States. The
preamble of the act, after referring
to the number of soldiers, says; BE
it enacted, that PATS of the aforesaid
lots contained in the following linn

of Savage river. and running with

transit FRED from the other State.
Now read the act of West Virginia
of May 8, 1887, and compare it with
these resolutions of the Maryland
Legislature passed in 1926 and 1882,
and you will find that West Virginia
simply asks Maryland to do what she
agreed to do, just what she pledged
herself to do, and to follow the course
which has been uniformly followed
heretofore in similar cases. think.
by every consideration of equity and
Justice, in view of the fact that
Maryland ran the old line herself and
gave her solemn pledge to protect
our people in the titles to their lands,
that they should receive some pro.
lection from Maryland, especially as
we proposed to give her all the dis
puted territory and establish the line
as she wants it,"
"Judge. what steps do you think
should he taken looking to settle
ment of the dispute ?"
II helievp." r. piled Judge Hoke,
"Maryland would have accepted our
act of 1887 if she had understood it {;
but as that was not accepted, and
considering the condition now of this
controversy, I think West Virginia
ought 70 pass another act providing
for its submission to arbitration"
".udge, do you think this is the
general sentiment of your State?"
"There are a great many of our
leading citizens who favor bringing a
suit in the Supreme Court Of the
United States to settle the controyer.
sy."
"What do you think would he the
result of such suit should one be in.
stituted?."
I'm the case of Rhode Island VS..
Massachusetts, in 12,h Peters. the
Supreme Court held that it had the
| jurisdiction to settle the boundary
dispute between States, and would
settle it upon the same prinriplc
that disputes are settled between in
dividuals about boundary lines o
tracts of lands. Considering that the
proceeding would be by bill in
| equity, | do not think there is any
! doubt that Maryland would I've re.
quired to abide by the line she ran.
and to which Virginia has held and
exercised jurisdiction since 17S8."
In conclusion, Judge H0ke said:
II have briefly given you West Vir.
ginia's side of this controversy. Our
people are exceedingly enxinus that
the matter should he amirably set
tied, and in this sentiment / most
heartily concur. Facts have recently
come TO my knowledge officially
which tend to show that serious
trouble cannot be prevented much
longer. hope your Legislature, now
in session. may take the matter in
hand and make some provision on
the part of Maryland for an adjust
ment."
The Suns correspondent has inter-
viewed some ofthe leading members
of the bar here, and they generally
concur in the views expressed by
Judge Hoke.

Speaker Reeds Statement.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. O.
Speaker Reed to-day made to a rep,
resentative of the Associated Press
the following statement, concerning
the Republican position in the
present controversy
Mr.. Carlisle was entirely right
when he said in substance that the
decision of the House that quorum
was constituted TO do business when
q majority of the House was present.
would be change from the founda
ton of the method If doing business.
1t certainly will do so. for it Will en-
able the majority elected by the
people to rule by their own votes,
and not by the sufference of the
minority. The rule of the majority
Is at the very base of our Govern
ment. If it is not the tue rule faith
is vain and we are yet in our sins.
Look at the practical working of the
other doctrine. The Republicans
have majority Of seven, but they
have only three over quorum. 1858
Is our number, l65 quorum. If we
are to furnish quorum, the whole
Democratic party sitting idly by in
their seats, but no one present, dumb
and silent when business is to BE-
transacted. but vocal. when it is to be
Obstructed. then there can be but
three Republicans absent on penalty
of stOppage of the public business.
Now let US see how that works. We
are allowed but three absentees. Mr..
Rockwell is sick. 1t would endanger
his life to come. Mr.. Wilbur is in
the same fix. Mr.. T. w. Brown is
too sick to be able to be there all the
time. Mr.. Caswell's wife was dying,
and common decency required his
presence by her bedside. Another
member must be with his wife for
reasons somewhat similar. just
about this number of members will
at all times be sick or incapacitated.
These may get well. but Others fall
sick in their turn. There is one
quorum according to Mr.. Carisle's
idea gone entirely to pieces. though

cans by seven majority. All this
