Nevada Climate.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Press, who has been on visit to this
Coast, says: The State OF Nevada can
boast Of climate surprising in health
giving qualities all that has been
written of sections more blessed by
the hand of progress. The town OF
Reno lies on a beautiful stream-the
Truckee river-which rises among the
forbidding-looking and snow. capped
peaks of the famed Sierra Nevada
mountains. Flowing oyer q tumultu-
GUS rocky bed through mountain
canyons, it spreads out into a lovely
valley, similar to Chester Valley. Re-
call the historic old Brandywine as it
flows under the Baltimore Central
railroad bridge at Chadd's Ford, winds
across the fiat and back Of the hill, a
favorite study for our artists, and you
have the Truckee river and Reno.

Street rumor had it yesterday that
Arthur Leonard, who is now in jail
awaiting the meeting OF the Grand
Jury which does not convene until
next March-unless a special session
is alled,-has received word from his
sister that she would come to his as
sistance. As Leonard refuses to make
any statement whatever, we we're un-
able to ascertain If the above report is
correct. Notwithstanding that he has
confessed to his guilt, the News does
not desire to see so young a man spend
the remainder OF his life behind prison

Able Arguments Presented by the
West VirginianS.
GOV. FLEMING PRESENTS THE CEASE
And Attorney General Caldwell and Ex-Governor
Wilson Speak to the Legal and Historical Fsa-
tureS Of the Mattsr-WsSt Virginia Sure
to Get Her Share Of The Refund.



WASHINGTON, D. c., July 29.-From
10 o'clock this morning until ten min
utes after l this afternoon Attorney
General Miller and Solicitor General
Taft sat at the Department of Justice
and listened to a steady stream of meaty
arguments showing why the Treasury
Department had no right to withhold
from West Virginia the money which
} the late Congress appropriated TO re-
pay to that State what she expended in
raising and arming troops in defense Of
the union. The arguments were made
by Attorney-General Caldwell, ex-Gov-
ernor Wilson and Governor Fleming, In
the order named. Governor FIeming'S
remarks were brief and Of a general
character, historical and legal argu-
ments being made by the other two gen.
tlemen. They went carefully and ex-
haustively over all the historical facts
relating to the erection Of West Vir-
ginia into a State, and showed clearly
that she could not on the records be
held responsible for the debts of Vir-
ginia, which we're contracted for public
Improvements of which that portion OF
her territory afterwards included in
West Virginia received little or none of
the benefits.
Moreover, IL was demonstrated that
even II West Virginia were responsible
for the old debts of Virginia, the act
creating the former State provided that
the question OF indebtedness should be
settled between the two States, there
fore, neither on the historical facts nor
on the law had the United States gov
ernment, nor any executive department
Of that government, any right to inter-
fere. If any Federal tribunal had the
right it was the Supreme Court of the
United States, and not the Com mptroller
OF the Treasury, or the Attorney Gen
eral.
1t was apparent from the questions
which Attorney General Miller asked
during the arguments that he held pre-
conceived opinions on the question en-
tirely at variance with the position OF
the representatives OF West Virginia,
but as the questions he asked were all
answered promptly and clearly he sub
sided as the arguments progressed. So
lieitor General Taft also asked many
questions Of pertinent character,
showing that he had studied the ques-
tion with care.
There were no representatives of Vir-
ginia nor of the old Virginia bondhold-
ers present at the hearing. Mr.. Forrest
w. Brown, the well-known attorney OF
Charlestown, accompanied the West
Virginia epresentatives.
Gov Fleming said to the REGISTER
correspondent tonight that he felt con-
fident the Attorney General would de-
eide the case in favor of West Virginia.
Governor Fleming and Mrs. Fleming
will go from here to one Of the New Jer-
sey seaside resorts for week before re-
turning home, The other gentlemen OF
the party will go home tomorrow night,
probably after paying a visit to Mt.
Vernon.
