Much Damage BY Water Looked For
in Washington.


Seattle, Wash, May 26.-The hot weather
of the past few days has melted the noun
tain snow and glutted all streams flowing
into Puget Sound. Skagit river is higher
than for fourteen years and is still ris-

At Mount Vernon business is suspended.
The whole lower part of the town is
flooded. Fifteen square miles Of the farm m
under water before night and crops will
be inundated. Skagit Delta, more than ten
square miles, is under water. and so is
Olympia marsh.
Hamilton, Avon and Sterling are mum

Interstate Commerce Commission.


Probably the most interesting decision
was one. involving the standing of the
interstate commerce commission, in
Wnlcn case the court overruled a decision
ny the present secretary of state. jus
tce Fuller, Brewer and Jackson dis
sented
The appeal brought up for review a
judgment rendered in December 1892, by
the United States circuit court for the
northern district of Illinois, in the case
OF the commission against W. NJ. Brim-
son, D. j. keefe and w. r. Sterling, de-
claring section II. of the Interstate com
merce act. to be unconstitutional.
The parties named, officers of the COM
pany, appeared as witnesses before the
commission, were ordered to produce
their books, refused to do so under ad-
vice OF counsel, and the commission ap-
pealed to the court to compel them.
Judge. Gresham decided that $50 much
OF section II as authorizes or requires the
courts to use their process in aid of in
quiries before the interstate commerce
commission is unconstitutional and void
Justice Harlan discussed at length the
dicial power of the United States, he said,
extends to all cases arising under the
constitution or laws of the United States,
and the circuits of the United States are
capable of exercising that power under
restrictions prescribed by Congress. The
fundamental principles he held to be
whether the procedure was a case,
within the meaning of the constitution.
The circuit court had adjudged it not to
be a, case
The court below had held that if the
act prescribed a penalty for refusing to
testify, such proceeding would constitute
a lease" while a civil proceeding author
lied by Congress to compel witness to
testify would not be a case Of which cog
nizance could be taken by any court.
This Interpretation of the constitution
would restrict employment of means to
carry into effect powers granted to Con-
gress within much narrower limits than
in our judgment is warranted by the in
strument," said Justice Harlan. ''The
test of the power of Congress was not
the judgment of courts that particular
means were not the best that could be
employed to accomplish an end, but
whether the means were unconstitutional.
There could be no doubt of the power or
Congress to authorize the commission to
summon persons and papers relating to
any matter which might be legally com
mitted to that body for investigation.
The appellee denied the right of the gov
eminent to authorize the commission to
make them testify and power to decide
the dispute must rest somewhere. 1t
could not be that the government was
helpless in such an emergency
BeIva Disappointed.
Mrs. Belva A Lockwood was disap-
pointed in her attempt to obtain leave to
file a petition for a writ to compel the
court of appeals of Virginia to admit her
to practice at the bar.
Chief Justice Fuller said it was within
the right of the Virginia court to decide
whether the word person" in its rules
referred to a woman, and concluded with
application denied"

TWO BLOOMING IDIOTS.
Duel at Roxbury Over a Maiden
Fair.

Fair.
Boston, May 26-Shortly after 8
o'clock tonight three hacks left the Ho-
tel Reynolds for Roxbury. They con-
tanned two duelists and. their seconds,
referees and attendants.
One of the principals was young
lawyer named Crowley, having an Of
fee in the Adams building, and the
other a young newspaper man named
Delos Goldsmith The two men have
been enemies for some time past on
account of having fallen in love with
the same girl, and some months ago
the arrangement for the. duel were com
pleted. Both men are reputed to be ex-
perts with the foils, and so it was ar
ranged that they should settle their
quarrel with sharp foils. Accordingly,
the pair repaired to an open field in the
three hacks, and under the rays of gas
lamps fought until Crowley fell into
the arms of his seconds.
The seconds for Goldsmith were F.
B. Cook and John Bundy, and AM
brose Lambert and-a man named Grow
ier. for Crowley. The Eeferee was a man
named Toomey. and the party was ac-
companied by young divinity named
Vincent.
Upon arriving upon the field of bat
tie. both, principals stripped to the
waist and faced each other, their sec
onds having previously attended to all
the details.
The men, for a few minutes tented
so well that neither was injured and it
looked to the seconds as though the
battle would be lengthy one, when
Goldsmith, by a quick. thrust, which
Crowley failed to parry, drew first
blood.
After battling for fifteen minutes.
during which time both men were
wounded, Crowley fell and was caught
in the arms Of his seconds.

Denver, May 26.-At AS o'clock this
afternoon, the entire state militia, con-
slstlng of two regiments. was ordered out
oy Governor Waite, to proceed to Cripple
Greek and suppress the troubles there.
Colonel A. w. Hogle. first infantry, will

Colonel Hogle
The remainder of the state militia will
assemble at their various places of rem
the earliest possible moment.
In his proclamation, Governor Waite
states that the constitution of the state
OF Colorado does not authorize the assem-
oiage OF a multitude Of armed men, by
either individuals or corporations, even
to enforce an undoubted right. Ordina-
rily the governor, before directing the
by the sheriff of the county in which the
rloting occurs. but his duty does not de-
pend upon such call. If an instruction
exists the governor must act.
The laws of the state declare that it
snail not be lawful for any body of men,
other than the militia to assemble. The
correcting and arming of deputies from
counties other than the one in which
trouble may occur is clearly against the
law The fact that property is in dan
ger OF destruction is sufficient ground for
tiles. but is not sufficient to warrant the
levy of war. The sheriff, when unable
to suppress an uprising, should call upon

The state. militia can suppress an in
surrection, but it cannot be called upon

Story From Olympia,

Washington.
Olympia, Wash, May 26-The decision
of the supreme court in the case of Moses
Scott VS.. McNeal brings to life and pos
session of property a man who has been
legally dead. Scott left Olympia in 1881
the possessor CT considerable property
and made his home in Marced, Cal He
was believed to be dead. and the probate
court administered upon the estate. When
Scott returned about two years ago, he
found all his property sold. He COM
menced action in ejectment, but when
Scott attempted to testify as to his own
ership of the property, the Judge. refused
to admit his testimony, holding that the
probate court, having administered on the
estate, the superior court. as matter
of fact, must consider him dead.
The state supreme court affirmed the
lower court. and the case went to the
United States Supreme court, on the con-
stitutional ground that he had been de-
prived of property without due process of
law. The United States court has re-
versed the decision and Scott now has
legal existence.
