the United states Supreme Court.

The case of the Commonwealth Of yir-
glnia against the State OF Tennessee Will
be heard in the United States Supreme
Court March 7th. This Is an original suit in-
stituted by the State of Virginia against the
State of Tennessee TO establish the true
boundary lire between tho two States.
The bill was fled bv the Ron. II. A. Ayers,
the then Acknowledgement of Virginia.
December 80, 1889. With him was asso-
Grated Judge William +. Rhea. II has been
placed at the head Of the calendar for the
be argued by Messrs. Ayers and Rhea and
Major K. Taylor Scott. Attorney General
of Virginia. The brief in the case Is the
work OF Mr. Ayers. after consultation with
the other two gentlemen. IL Is very
elaborate aud thorough discussion of this
vexed question.
THE RECORD VOLUME.
The record in this case IL volume OF
56S pages and the brief covers forty three
pages. TO Virginia this Is q matter Of very
great Importance. II is believed that II
she gains the suit an area one mile IN
width and $50 IN length will be secured,
and that the true boundary line will be so
run as to take IN the whole OF Bristol.
THE CONTENTION.
The contention of Virginia ia this That
the boundary line between North Carolina
and Virginia Is the line of the Kings
grants-36 degrees and so seconds. Fur
ther that this line extended IL the proper
aud true boundary line between Tennessee
and Virginia. The STATE of Tennessee
could not exceed these boundaries. but
was bound by those which were accepted
aud fixed by the granite" NORTH Caro-
na)-namely, 36 degrees and 80 seconds J
In 1889 North Carolina ceded 10 the United
States the territory out or which len
nessee was formed. an1 the latter was ad-
mitted into the Union a. State on lst
day of June. 1876. In the same year Ten
nessee adopted a Constitution which de-
fined the line between that State and Nlr-
glnia as beng in 80 degrees and 80
seconds north. and thus nas each
succeeding Constitution of tennessee
expressed 1t. Afterwards Tennessee re-
fused TO recognize this line. In
| 1902 on the 10th December, commissioners
appointed by these two States agreed
upon a compromise line. subject TO ratih-
| cation bv their Legislatures. The Legisla-
lures ratified it III 1908, but II was never
sanctioned by Congress. Therefore 1t y
claimed unconstitutional, null. and void.

IL is further cOntended bv Virginia that
| If 80 degrees and 80 seconds be not the true

mise of 1903. then this hue IA agreed upon

none of the bosses seem greatly ais
turbed over the prospects. The strike
OF the labor leaders and not strike OF
the men. The majority OF the men
were unwilling to strike and only went
out when ordered by the delegates ana
most Of them very unwillingly.
There was some trouble In inducing
some OF the men to quit, and the walk
ing delegates were compelled to do
active missionary work in ordering
them of the grounds. There was some
trouble, too, during the day, and be-
tween s a. m. and p. m. four men
were arrested for fighting and creating
trouble.
The first man to be arrested was H.F.
Heinman, a striking carpenter, who
interiered with men who were disposed
to work. Oswald Weinhuld was also too
forcible In his arguments and was taken
into custody. John Matthews and VIII
liam Hughes were arrested for fighting
and Edward Morris for occasioning q
small riot. He was working In the
Manufacturers building when ordered
by the walking delegate to quit work,
and as he packed up his tools said to a
man near him: "Why don't you quit
too?"
"I don't see 1t that way" was the re-
ply.
"Then you are q scab," was the reply
of Morris, at the same time calling the
workman 8 vile name. The next In
slant he was fat on his back and count
less stars were dancing in front Of his
eyes. A score or more of strikers has
tened to his assistance and large num-
Der of non-union men came to
the defense of his opponent.
Clubs and fists flew lively for
a few minutes, and matters were rapidly
growing serious when detachment OF
the Columbian Guards and some Of the
older heads among the laboring men
succeeded in parting the belligerents.
There were several cracked heads,
bloody noses and beautiful black eyes,
but no serious injury was done on either
side. The union men were then marched
of the ground. leaving the non-union
men in possession.

WESTON, w. VA. April 10.-The

consequence the present administration
are trembling in expectancy and aspir-
ants are living in hope of getting there.
The new members are all here except
Mr.. Armstrong. Of Mason, aud also Mr..

ing on a special train which will arrive
here about 0 D. m. Those present are
Messrs. Floyd, of Kanawha; Sweetland
Smoot, of Greenbrier; Gifin, OF Upsnnr'
and Edmiston. Of Lewis. There Is
great deal of speculation as TO the out
come, and those who are on the INSIDE
say that there will be grand sweep,
but the more conservative say that the
change will not effect the present In
cumbent, Or. Lewis. DR.. L. b. Cam

hand, doing what he can TO protect
the Doctors interests. Judging
from the fact that all OF the
other members are stopping at the no.

indicate that they do dot intend to be
handicapped in their intention. Dr. A.

COLUMBUS, o., April 10.-The first crop
report of the season Of the State Board OF
Agriculture is more detailed and elaborate
than that of the United States agricultural

Mr.. German, spoke Of, 1t would be re
yersed by the Supreme Court OF the
United States without one dissenting
opinion against its reversal. Such
doctrine would be monstrous.
Mr.. Voorhees, said that the most dan
gerous question that the country was
facing to o-day was the encroachments OF
corporate power; Of colossal wealth
against those who were helplessly In its
power, and whom IL wanted TO have
chained TO their labor as completely as
the galley slave was chained to his oar.
This power claimed that the railroad
employe was enlisted as private
soldier and If he left his post he
was to be punished as a deserter. He
had therefore felt il his duty TO intro
duce resolution directing an inquiry
as 70 what action might be necessary
for the better protection Of the laboring
people OF the United States In their
natural and inalienable rights and for
their greater security from the en-
crOachment OF corporate power.
Nobody pretended, Mr.. Voorhees,
added, that an engineer could leave
his engine, endangering a train OF cars
and endangering the lives OF its passen-
gers; but that was not all that was
contemplated In the Interstate Com
merce law. The law said in plain
terms that he could not alone and in an
orderly way sever his connection from
a corporation; that he was enlisted to
stay, and was to be punished as de-
serter il he did not stay. He thought
that the Committee on Interstate Com
merce could not be better employed
than In investigating this dangerous
question.
Mr.. Platt said II was not wise to at
tack the judiciary Of the United States.
II was not wise to charge the judiciary
with desiring to usurp power. 1t was
not wise to talk about the disposition OF
the judiciary to reduce laborers to the
condition OF serfs; to talk about laborers
being chained to their offices. The la
boring man had confidence in the courts
and he would be protected in all his le-
gal rights. But he (Mr. Platt) did not
believe, and the laboring man did not
believe that while engaged in the en-
ploy Of common carrier, he could choose
his own time to leave that employment.
After further debate the question
went over till tomorrow, when Mr..
Palmer will have the floor to speak
upon It.
Mr.. German moved to proceed to the
consideration Of executive business, and
Mr.. Hoar antagonized the motion, call
ing for a division. The yeas and nays
were taken, aud resulted yeas "a, nays
1O-no quorum. A call OF the Senate
failed to result in a quorum, and the
| Senate adjourned till tomorrow.
