GEN. SCHOFIELD'S REGRETS.

1t IL Said That He and the President Un-
derstand Each Other.
Gen. Schoheld is a subject of criticism on
account of his failure to accept the Presidents
invitation to attend the dinner gwen in honor
of the Princess Eulalie. Gen. Schofeld was
in Chicago at the time attending the
meeting Of the army board Of ord
nance and Notifications, and sent his
regrets" to the President. His critics
say this was serious breach OF etiquette on
the ground that there is no excuse, except
sickness or inability, for accepting an invita-
ton from the President, such invitations in the
case Of army and navy officers being equiv
alent to command. The only expla-
nation that could be obtained at the
War Department this afternoon in regard to
the matter was that "the President and Gen.
Schofield understand each other perfectly"

The appointment OF Brig. Gen. W. P. Carlin
will cause slight Encouragement OF department
commands. Ever since the retirement
Of Gen. Kantz Gen. Ruger has been
in temporary command of the depart
ment of the Columbia. This was in addition to
his regular duties as comma nder of the DEPART
ment OF California. 1t is expected now
that he will soon be relieved of
command OF the department OF the Columbia
by Gen. Carlin. who is now in that sec
ton Of the country. When promoted Gen.
Carlin was in command of the fourth infan-
try. with headquarters in Coeur 'Alene, Wasn-
ington. His transfer to the command of the
department of the Columbia will. therefore.
involve very little travelling on his part. as the

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE HOSPITAL.
Unless something unforeseen happens the hos
pital for contagious diseases will be located in
square 11l2. At meeting of the board this
morning the proposition Of Mr.. John
r. McLain to sell lots 16 to ~, inclu-
sive, in that square at 1917 cents per
foot was accepted. The property is located
between B and c, 18th and 18th streets; lots
16, II and 10 front on B street, while lots 10,
20, 81 and % front on 18th street, right OPP
posite TIE Jail. The property contains IS, 400
square feet. The Commissioners have been
endeayoring to locate site for a long time.
About three weeks ago bids were invited and a
number OF real estate agents and private owners
submitted proposals for land in various
Der of sites offered camc from Anacostia
and the vicinity. but the citizens there raised
such protest the Commissioners were COM
PEELED to look elsewhere. A tract of land was
offered to the Commissioners near the race
course on which old Fort Sedgwick stands
and had it not been for the distance from the
city the Commissioners would certainly have
purchased 1t, for the land was admirably To-
Gated and well suited for the purpose. 1t was
up to within a few days ago the Commits
sioners had about decided to purchase square
11lO but the owners of the property were so
scattered. and many of them being out Of the
city, it had to be abandoned at the last mo
ment. The approved site is easy of access and
in sparsely populated part of the District.
There is ample water supply and the sewerage
facilities good. The site meets with
the unanimous approval OF the Daisy Chain
Guild, and it is expected that immediate steps
will be taken for the erection of the hospital

the theory Of our Government, in making
each Of the three Departments totally indie
pendent OF each other, emphatically for
bids the President to interfere in any
way whatsoever where a member of either
House of Congress is to be elected, for if
the President were permitted any inter-
ference in such elections with the enor-
nous power and patronage that he con-
trolls, the case might very well come to
be that Congress was no longer repre-
sentative of the people, but a body vir-
oil n

would be another case OF Napoleon and
his servile Senate. The slightest conside
ration, therefore, given to the matter.

MIDDLE or THf MAIN CHANNEL,
The Supreme Court Fixes the boundary
Between Mississippi River Border STATES

The SuDreme Court Fixes the Boundary
Between Mississippi River Border States
The United States Supreme Court yes
terday rendered its decision in the case
brought by the State of Iowa against the
State of Illinois TO settle the boundary
line In the Mississippi river between the
two States Nine bridges cross the Mtssis-
sfppi between the two States, ana II was
desired by each State that decision as
IN the boundary-iine of the river be
made. in order that each State might tax
only the property within its borders. The
state of Iowa contended that the boun-
dairy runs 10 the middle OF the main body
Of the river from the banks without re-
card TO the steamboat channel, and that
me measurement of the MIDDLE distance
should be taken when the river was at its
normal state.
on behalf Of Illinois II was claimed that
jurisdiction Of each State extends TO the
middle OF the steamboat channel, where
ever that may be.
In an opinion rendered yesterday by
Justice Field. the court adopts the HI
nois view Of the matter, holding that the
true boundaIy-line IS the middle or tie
main channel of the river. or Of the prin-
cipal channel, if there be more than che
channel Of navigation.
As counsel of each State desired that
the boundary-line be established at the
places where the bridges cross the river,
the court ordered that n commission OF
three persons be appointed to ascertain
and designate the line on each bridge and
delineate the same on the maps. the COM
mission 10 be guided IN fixing the line by
the opinion of this court and to make re-
turn TO 1t for further action.
Tn, &c no hot ttphar
international law when navjgable river
constitutes the boundary between two
States the line defining the point at which
the jurisdiction OF the two separate is
well established 70 be the middle OF the
main channel Of the stream. The interest
of each State in the navigation OF the
river admits of no other line. The preser-
walton by each of its equal rights In the
navigation OF the stream is a subject
of paramount interest. Ii is therefore
held that the middle Of the channel marks
the true boundary. The obvious reason
for this is that the right OF navigation is
presumed TO be common to both countries
in the absence of special treaty or usage
to the contrary. The same rule which APP
plies TO European countries would be held
TO apply here unless changed by special
agreements having the force Of law
The controlling consideration in this
matter of the boundary OF the Mississippi
is that which will preserve to each State
equality In the right Of navigation OF the
river. BY holding that the boundary-Iine
is the middle OF the channel conditions
cannot arise which would give a single
State control over its navigation through
the channel being within its boundary
lines II the middle OF the whole streara
we're taken as the guiding mark.-Wash-
