THE CIRCUIT COURTS.
The Judges Very Much OVerworked-
Something Ought to be Done

| Special Correspondence 0fthe Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 10
The Judges of the Courts Of West Nir-
ginia are a hard worked and poorly paid
class OF men, and this is especially true
of the Judges of the Circuit Courts An
effort. and a very determined one, will
be made to have this state OF affairs m
proved to the extent OF reducing the
work of these learned gentlemen.
Judges McClougherty, Harvey, Guthrie
and Armstrong are in the city now TO
look after the matter. Last evening
these gentlemen, together with Few
prominent lawyers, held 4 meeting TO
discuss and map out proper course oil
procedure.
In a conversation this morning with
Judge Armstrong | was informed that
they had arrived at the conclusion that
speedy rslief was IN imposSibility owing
To Article VIII. of the Constitution,
which provides that 1.-THE Legislature
NAV re-arrange the Circuits herein pro-
vided for at any session thereof next
preceding any general election oil the
Judges of said Circuits, and may at any
such session increase or diminish the
number thereof"
II will at once be seen that the
Legislature could not act upon the
matter until 1891, that being the SeS-
sion preceding the next general election
Of Circuit Judges The judges, there
fore, decided that they would endeavor
to have u Joint resolution introduced
bv this session for an amendment OF
the constitution providing for an IN
crease of circuits at any session OF the
Legislature, and further providing that
said circuits shall not be diminished eX-
cept at session preceding the gen
cral election Of Circuit Judges, a Oil
NAV also be introduced asking for the
re-districting of the circuits and pro-
yiding for the election OF four or hNe
additional judges in 1892, at the same
time the amendment is submitted.
Several of the counties intend TO ask
for the establishment of criminal courts
therein, aud it is thought that If the
circuits are increased that criminal
courts will not De necessary In many oil
the counties.
Judge McClaugherty says that one
session of his court lasted for s3 days,
and that he has just adjourned q Ses-
sion which lasted 80 days.
Six circuits out of the thirteen
have as many rs five counties;
each county is entitled to three ses-
sions year, and this compells
six Of the judges to hold fifteen
sessions of court every year.
besides the special session which are
frequently held From what am able
to gather from conversations with Sen
ators and Delegates think the ma
iority of them recognize that some re-
lief should be given the Judges on ac-
count Of the rapid development OF the
State and the increase in litigation.
This afternoon Judges Harvey and
McClaugherty, of the Eighth and Ninth
Circuits, were before the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate and asked the
relief referred TO.

How the Matter stands President
Against the Measure.

action of some kind ia the House on the
silver bin. the discussion has SubSided
and members Of the House are awaiting
developments. The Coinage Committee
has the key 20 the situation az present,
and the general disposition is TO give
the committee an opportunity 20 show
what 10 means 20 do before making pre-
dicti0ns 0r outlining the course TO be
pursued in the future. Some effort is
making ON the part OF the gold adher-
euts Co have the bin kept In committee,
but the silver men are sanguine as 70
their ability 20 defeat such a move.
AT least TWO Oi the Democratic members
Ot the committee are gold standard
men, and each side shows them great
consideration ia the present condition
of affairs. With their assistance the
silver meu could order "a report made
90 the House, aud it is asserted that
this will be done without much delay,
though 10 Is not cOntended that these
Democrats will commit themselves to
vote for the bill, but merely that they
will agree 90 secure consideration for
it. The Speaker entertainS the same
views, even on the question OF Tree
coinage, but there is reason TO believe
that he is not prepared TO 90 TO the
most extreme measures in order TO pre-
vent the matter coming up, and 10 bear
the burden Of dissatisfaction which
would thereby be created In the silver
wing of the Republican party, More
over, Mr. Reed has said that be was by
no means sure OF successfully fulfilling
such task this year. because of a
change in existing conditions, and OF a
growing sestiment favorable to silver.
While it is impossible 70 obtain an
authoritative statement from the Presi-
dent in regard 20 the Senate silver bill,
10 is intimated very broadly by gentle
men who have cOnverSed with him on
the subject that he is very much diSsat-
iShed with the measure in It's present
shape. and that he will certainly veto il
unless it undergOeS material mOdiica-
ti0n before 10 is submitted to him for
action Tie is iu entire accord with Sec
retary Window ON the subject and the
latter opposition 20 the free coinage Of
silver is matter OF record.

4 Class Celebration that Requires Help
OF the Police.

peadi telegram 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, PA, January l6.-For
years il has been the custom of the Jun
for class OF Observation-Disclosures Col
lege to cremate The study deemed most
difficult and troublesome TO master. The
class of '92 decided upon mechanics as
the study most appropriate for crema-
tion, and accordingly arrangements were
made for holding a mock trial before
burning the books tonight. During
the afternoon the men who were chosen
as lawyers TO carry on the prosecution
and defense at the trial were kidnapped
by the Sophomores, who locked one OF
them in a room in the third story OF
C. NJ. Reed & Co.'S book store,
and the other was confined in
a room at the residence of
DIR. w. l.. McCleary, on Wade
Avenue, the object Of the Sophomores
being to prevent the ceremonies attend
ing the burning of the books. The
whereabouts of the absent men were
discovered, however, and the Juniors
with about one hundred under clasSmen
took possession OF Reeds building and
proceeded to burst down the door of
the room where their man was held a
prisoner and in this way Sc
cured his release. Police officers were
taken TO DIR. McCreary's residence, and
after threats of swearing out search
warrant, the confined junior was re-
leased early this morning, when the
programme was carried out as arranged.
During the night the greatest excite
ment prevailed, and the aid Of the police
was required to put stop to several
fights that arose between the belligerent
classes

Seyenty-twO operators and station
agents employed on the lines OF the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and ~. Paul system
quit work to-day and the strike which
Chief Thurston, Of the order OF Railway
Telegraphers, has heralned IN so many
bulletins was very much Of a hzzle.
General Manager Earling came up from
Chicago and spent the day with Super
intendent Collins. Tho officials OF the
road were prepared for any emergency
and at every station where an operator
quit work another man was waiting TO
take his place, so that the telegraphic
business OF the road suffered no delay
OF any consequence. IL was not a strike
at all, in the usual sense OF the word.
The men rendered their designations on
Wednesday TO take effect al O'Clock this
morning. All OF those who resigned did
not 90 out, for some repented and wired
headquarters recinding their resigna-
tions. In Wisconsin not single man
stopped work, and more than half of
those who did So were employed on d.
visions in the State OF Iowa. This Is
partially due TO the personal influence
OF ThurstOn, whose home Is inNintOn,
Iowa. The following official statement
was made to-day on behalf OF the COM
pany: THE men involved In this affair
really had no grievance, and were de-
ceived by the misrepresentation OF
the order OF railway telegraph
ers. There has been no general
reduction OF salaries. but simply an
equalization because operators and sta
tion men at some points were being
paid mere In proportion 10 the amount
Of their work than at others. The OIL
GERS OF the company knew Of no dissat-
isfaction among the men until they
learned the officers OF the o. K. 4. were
securing signatures TO a remonstrance.
The o. 4. officers misreprcsentcd
the situation and concealed from the
men that clause In the remonstrancc
stating that their designations would be-
rendered unless their demands were
complied with. At some Of the Iowa
stations the wires were tampered with
by making ground connections. leaving
switches open, and otherwise, but mo-
serious delay resulted from this.

The Indian situation.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, ). d.. January
l6.-The question which seems upper
most in the mind of everybody around
the Agency to-day is whether ol
not not General Miles will insist
upon the complete disarming OF
the Indians. 1t is question tC
which no answer can be obtained. This
morning it was reported on good author
ity that Gen. Miles had ordered civilians
to keep out of the hostile camp, because
he intended to disarm the Indians If he
had to shell their camp TO accomplish
his purpose. The General could not be
seen to substantiate the statement.
This morning about twenty Indians
came into the Agency under Little
Hawk and surrendered thirty-One guns,
some Winchesters and some as old as
the flood. The weapons were received
in the name of General Miles and turned
over to Agent Pierce and tagged with
the owners and chiefs names for safe
keeping.
