RACE FOR THE SPEAkERsH|P.
springer's Chances Receiving
Much Consideration To-Day.
Would the Mills Men Go to Him,
with Their Own Cause Lost?
Especial TO THE EVENING WORLD. ,

ESPECIAL TO THE EVENING WORID.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.--The talk OF the day
in the Speakership race is confined chiery
to comments on the respective chances OF
Messrs- Crisp and Springer, the latter's sud-
den boom being feature OF the contest.
1t is claimed for Mr.. Springer that he has
almost the entire Northwest at his back, and
he claims to be gaining ground steadily.
1t has developed that MIR. Bynum failed to
turn over the Indiana delegation to Mr.. Mills
when he retired. only four OF the eleven
votes can be definitely counted on by Mr..
Mills. Springer and Crisp will divide the
other seven.
"Mills can't get It," said an observer to-
day, who has been close to the tight without
being In 1t, and i think his followers are
bound to 60 for Springer. Certainly Crisp
can get none OF them after the bitterness
which mas arisen between Mills and the
Georgian.
"It is whispered that McMillin may drop
out, but while he is Mills man himself l do
not think he can turn his following over to
the man from Texas"
Last nights placing OF the candidates in
this race showed Crisp in the lead, Mills
second, with Springer close third; McMillin
fourth and Hatch, OF Missouri, Holman, Of
Indiana, and Wilson, OF West virginia, trail
ing along.
Judge Crisp's friends claimed over 100
and his opponents did not place his strength
at less than so. Mr.. Millss friends claimed
90 and his opponents gave him less than so.
shrewd placers gave Springer 35, McMillin
20, Hatch the Missouri delegation of 13.

The officers OF the Cnion Pacific Railroad
Company have made very little progress as
securities, which were placed with Field as
collateral for the loan made by his iirm to the
Company.
There is talk OF warrants OF arrest and iD-
functions, but as yet no legal proceedings
have been publicly instituted to recover pos
session OF the missing bonds.
The trouble Is, the railroad people do not
know whose they are and Assignee Gould
says he cannot give them the slightest clue to
the mystery US yet Tor he does not know
himself.
Inspector Byrnes denies that he has ordered
Mr.. Fields house to be watched by detectives,
or that he has been asked to DO so.

PARIS, Nov. 30.-1t is believed In many
quarters that the prosecution OF the Arch
bishop OF AK was a false step on the part OF
the Government, and that, by taking this
course, the Government, to be consistent,
will be compelled to inaugurate series OF
prosecutions that, to say the least, Will not
tend to soothe the feeling OF irritation In
church circles.
The Gdniois to-day says that the Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, NJ. Ribot, In an interview
with Mgr. Farrati, the Papal Nuncio at Paris,
intimated that unless the vatican advised
moderation on the part or certain French
bishops the Government would feel iuclined
TO cease opposing the separation OF Church
and State.

The Supremc7Court of Appeals Gives Re-
ceivcr IsniIey Possession.

ceivcr Bailey Possession.
WYTHEvn.rE. July 16.-IS Special =
In the Court of Appeals to-day Judge
Lacey rendered the decision of the court
in the cause of Wilder and others
against Judge Kelly, more popularity
known as Bailey VS.. South Atlantic and
Ohio railroad, on application for man
damus.
The facts of the case, as cleaned from
the opinion of the court, are in brief
these: Bailey and others made applica-
ton to Judge Boiler, who was holding
court In Russell county for Judge Kelly,
who was sick, for an INDUCTION restrain
Ing the managers of the South Atlantic
anu ONO Railroad Company in certain
matters, which injunction was granted.
and Bailey was appointed receiver on a
bond in penalty of $4,000.
Before Baily could take charge tho
defendants got Judge Kelly on his sick
bed TO grant restraining order for
twenty days, whereupon the plaintiffs
claiming to abandon the first Injunction
asked for second injunction. This
Judge Kelly refused, indorsing that fact
on the application. This refusal the
plaintiffs presented to Judge Richardson
OF the court of appeals and obtained
from him an injunction, but fixing the
bond of the receiver at $4,000. Moan
time application was made to Judge
Bond, OF the United States court. who
TOOK the whole matter out of tho hands
OF the State courts. The decision of
Judge bond was 10 turn reversed by the
supreme court, Chief Justice Fuller
rendering the decision and the matter
was placed in statn quo.
Before Judge Bond took charge the
sheriff. under the order of Judge Rich
ardSon. placed the receiver in possess
sion, which he had surrendered mean
time. Upon the release Of the claim of
the Federal court to have jurisdic ton
the receiver attempted to get IN ros-
session, but was resisted by an armed
body of men, whercupon the plaintiffs
applied to Judge Kelly for process
against tho defendants for contempt.
and the defendants applied to be heard
on the merits.
Judge Kelly rendered decision in
writing, in which he held that the
injunction granted by Judge Richard
son was improvidently awarded, and
took him to consider other matters in
the cause.
Plaintiffs then asked the court of an.
deals for mandamus to compel judge
Kelly to issue an order placing the re-
ceiver in possession. The mandamus
was granted to-day with an opinion of
the majority of the court prepared by
Judge Lacy. Judges Fauntleroy and
Lewis dissented, and Judge Hinton con.
Cured in the result.

frightening him nearly to death.
Billy soon saw he wasn't hurt, and at

Hotel Roanoke. lie ripped and snorted
at the foreman, who wouldn't tell him
anything, and reported the matter to

stones any more.
