The Atchison's Request for a Boycott
Against the :. p. Denied.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Chairman Cald-
well tonight handed down a decision
denying the request of the Atchison road
for a boycott against the Southern Pacific
on passenger business. After going over
at great length the causes of the dis
pute, the Chairman says that the Atchi-
son is entitled to no relief under the asso-
citation agreement, because the Southern
Pacific has not been guilty of such action
as could render it subject to punishment
under the association rules, if it were an
association line. 1t being an outside line,
the Chairman argues that it makes no
difference. 1t has been guilty of no
offense aginst the association, and conse-
quentIy the association has no right to
make fight against it.
This will drive the Atchison from the
Western Passenger Association. 1t will
tomorrow morning send formal notice
of withdrawal from the association, 1t
Will, unless the matter is now settled by
arbitration, promptly proceed to make a
fight on California rates from Chicago in
stead of the Missouri River, and the pros
pect for very low rates to California is
promising. The Atchison once out of
the association, it will remain out until
the Union Pacific agrees to become a
member.
There is strong likelihood that libel
suits will be instituted by the receivers
of the Atchison against Chairman Midgley
of the Western Passenger Association
and the General Managers of the several
lines who have passed resolutions declar-
ing the receivers and high officials of the
road not protecting its interests, as Off
GERS should do, because they refused to
pass the agreement. Nice-President
Robinson and Passenger Traffic Manager
White Of the Atchison have gone East to
confer with the receivers about the pro-
posed suits, and about withdrawing from
all Western associations on account of
what they consider an insult offered the
officials of the Atchison system.
Mr.. Midgley to-day declared that it
would make very little difference if the
Atchison did Withdraw from the Western
Freight Association, and declared himself
undaunted by the prospect of libel suits.
The resolutions condemning the Atchi-
son were passed when it was known by
the meeting which passed them that two
other roads represented in the meeting
were and had been. issuing passes to in
huence business, in direct violation of the
proposed agreement.

TIDE LANDS.
Private Parties Cannot Control Harbor
Lines of a State.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The claim of
the Northern Pacific to control the tide
lands and harpor line along it's land
grants in the State of Washington, near
Tacoma, was denied by the Supreme
Court to-day in the decision in the case of
Prosser and others VS.. the Northern Pa
cific. Justice Gray, who delivered the
opinion, held the question to be whether
the charter giving land grants to a rail-
road authorized it TO monopOliZe the har-
bOr. The court held that every State has
the right TO define its harbor lines and
regulate the building upon them, since a
general system is necessary, and private
parties could not be permitted to control
portions of its lines. The injunction
against the Harbor Commissioners asked
for was denied as against public policy.
The lower court, therefore, is sustained
and the suit dismissed.
The constitutionality of the tide waters
laws OF the State of Oregon was affirmed
by the Supreme Court in passing upon
the suit OF Charles w. Shiveley, plaintiff
in error, against John q. A. Bowlby and
w. W. Parker, which was a contest over
a wharting privilege on the Columbia
River at Astoria. Justice Gray affirmed
the decision of the Supreme Court of Ore
gon. He asserted that when lands are
granted under the general land laws
bordering on navigable water, no rights
TO the land under the water are given, and
such rights depend on the local laws. Con-
gress never acted on the policy that tide
water lands could be given away piece

under regulations which the States might

CHARLESTON CIV. Va, March 5.-There
is no diminution in the excitement in the
mining regions. A telegram was re-
ceived from Eagle to-day saying the road
from Eagle to Fayetteville is lined with
armed men. They are said to number
not less than 600, and have assembled
with the avowed purpose of killing Wy
ant, and he is being taken by the Sheriff
to jail at Fayetteville. Wyant tele-
graphed the Governor for military
guard, which was sent.
Twenty loaded Chesapeake and Ohio
cars we're burned by the strikers at Paint
Greek this morning.
A general outbreak is momentarily ex
pected, as the strikers are becoming en-
boldened.
To-day Governor McCorkle received
telegram from Major Banks, command
ing at Eagle. stating that man had been
arrested at Montgomery with dynamite
cartridge on his person. The man was
brought to this city. He said he was en-
gagged in the attack on Wyant's tipple.
He had attended all the meetings, and
knew all the strikers plans. From his
tanned: The riot at Acme was carefully
planned, and only frustrated by the action
of the authorities. The strikers took 20
Acme twenty-seven large dynamite cart
ridges to blow up the works and destroy
the stores. Their purpose was to loot the
stores. At their meetings yesterday and
last night and on Saturday the arrange
ment was made, with the cOnnivance of
certain people, to arrest Wyant, bring
him TO Montgomery, and turn him over
to mob of miners. His life would not
have been worth penny.
In addition to this, when the soldiers
came accompanying the Sheriff in max
ing arrests for murder, the fuses of the
dynamite cartridges were to be lighted
with cigars, and thrown among the troops
and posse. AS it happened, however, only
a small part of the programme was car
ried out. Wyant was arrested. but when
the four Constables, one of whom had said
he would bring Wyant to Montgomery
or kill him, attempted to take Wyant to
Montgomery, he resisted, and told him
that he was perfectly willing TO go to
Fayetteville, where he could have some
sort of a show, but he did not propose to
be taken to Montgomery for the purpose
Of being killed by mob. This morning
he called on the militia for protection,
and when the Constables attempted to
take him one of thema was arrested for
murder, and a platoon of soldiers took
Wyant to Fayetteville, where he will
have a preliminary trial.
