Judge Ross Renders an Opinion In
Favor of the Southern Pacific.
Los ANGELES. May 3.-Judge Ross.
this morning, in the United States Cir
cult Court, handed down an opinion in
the case of the United States VS.. the
Southern Pacific Company, denying an
injunction restraining the Southern Pa
cific from cutting timber and committing
waste on Government land west of the
Colorado River. The case arises out of
the question of the ownership of the land
recently declared by the Supreme Court
of the United States to revert to the Gov
ernment. The area embraced includes
nearly 100000 acres of land, the very land
in question before the Supreme Court.
This is the land granted to the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad Company and
claimed by the Southern Pacific. In de-
nying the injunction Judge Ross said that
he did not think an injunction should be
granted in advance of hearing of the
cause of the true ownership of the land
on its merits.

BERLIN, May 3.-The members of the
Center party had an uproarious meeting
to-day to consider the proposition, sup
ported by Won Huenes, as to the terms
on which the Center would support the
army bill in the Reichstag. The meeting
was most exciting, and resulted in the re-
lection of Won Huenes' proposition by
an enormous majority. Count Won
Hallesterem thereupon resigned as leader
OF the Center, and Count Won Preysing-
Lichtenberg- -Moos of Straubing was
elected to succeed him. Afterward it
was decided the members should vote
according to their individual opinions.
In the Reichstag to-day Chancellor
Caprivi declared the Government would
endeavor by every constitutional means
to secure the passage of the army bill.
Tho army" the Chancellor said, "as at
present constituted is unequal to any
emergency that might arise" He re-
minded the members of the Reichstag
that the ablest diplomacy was not always
efficient substitute for military strength,
and in support of this assertion he cited
the experience of Frederick the Great of
Prussia.
Continuing, the Chancellor said: "The
Federal Government has resolved to en-
pioy all constitutional means in it's power
to attain its object. The rejection of
the bill will create abroad an impression
that there is weakness here. In the name
of the empire and in the name of Prussia,
L announce that Won Huene's proposal is
acceptable to us.''
The fate of the army bill was the theme
OF an excited discussion in the lobbies of
the Reichstag. The Government, it is
said, has informed the army bill commit
tee that if the bill is rejected the Reichstag
will be forthwith dissolved, the remain
ing business of the session being set
aside

The Miners Bill Passes Second Read
Ing in the Commons.
LONDON, May 3.-In the House of Com
mons to-day Samuel Woods, Labor NJ,
Z. for Southwest Lancashire and Vica-
President of the National Federation OF
Miners, moved a bill establishing eight
hours as legal days work in mines. II
was read second time.
Gladstone commented on the probable
effect OF the measure. He did not believe,
he said, diminution of the output would
produce an increase IN wages.
All were agreed, he said, that it was not
party question and the Government
could not be identified with it. He per-
sonally was unwilling to interfere with
the freedom of adult labor, but the pres
ent case seemed TO justify an exception to
the general principle, since the majority
of miners favor the proposed restriction.
He would. therefore, support the bill
under reservations and would not consent
to the extension of its provisions to
Northumberland and Durham, where
there was strong opposition to the pro-
posed limitation.
Gladstone. having been asked whether
the Government was prepared to apply
the same principle of local option to the
Government of Ireland, which it was pro-
posed to apply to the question of eight
hours in the mines, reminded the House
in submitting the Irish home rule bill.
that he expressed his willingness to
entertain such proposition if Ulster so
desired.
The Government, Gladstone said, never
has withdrawn from this position.
although of course the Government had
not tried to give it effect, in view of the
Discrimination of the people of Ulster to
accept such plan.
The eight-hour bill for miners passed
to second reading by a vote of279 to 2Ol.

Eight hundred brokers, headed by leaders
bearing union jack flags and wearing
union jacks of paper in their hats, in
token of their devotion to the cause OF

Stock Exchange to the Unionist meeting
at Guildhall. Upon reaching Guildhall
the brokers sang "Rule Britannia"
cheered loudly for the union, for Lord
Salisbury and for other Unionist leaders.
The crowd assembled was evidently not
