pire is finished is really the work of the
secret societies, for there is no record in
history of the voluntary abdication of
Chinese emperor. 1t is said that these Sc

present dynasty are numerically strong in
the central provinces, and it is apprehended
that upon the conclusion of peace their

Sale of Vegetables.

In answer to an inquiry as to the law
governing the sale of vegetables in the
District, Attorney Thomas has rendered a
decision in which he says that the ordi-
nances requiring potatoes and other vege-
tables to be sold by weight were repealed
by act of Congress March 2, 1885, which
called for the appointment of a sealer of
weights and measures. By section 10 of
this act ii was made unlawful to sell or
offer for sale in the District any fruit.
vegetables, etc, at or for any weight or
measure other than the true weight or
measure thereof, and that all provisions,
excepting vegetables sold by the head or
bunch. of every kind sold in the District,
should be weighed or measured by scales,
weights or balances, in measures duly
tested and stamped by the sealer or his
assistant. The law thus does not require
vegetables to be sold by weight, nor does
it specify how many pounds weight of
vegetables shall constitute peck or
hrs hel

trast with like dates in 1890, 1889 and

II is worth noticing that Pacific coast

more than 40 per cent.-than wheat
supplies east Of the Rocky mountains,
which are only % per cent smaller than

Special to the Register.

Special to the Register
Charleston, w. Va, December s.
The law passed by the Legislature IN
1892 regulating the screening and
weighing of coal at the mines is likely TO
come up in the Supreme Court again
for its decision as to the constitutional
ity of the law. Soon after this law
was passed a number of the coal opera
tors of the Kanawha Valley were
brought into the Kanawha Circuit
Court on a charge Of violating the law.
The attorneys for the coal operators
argued that the law was unconstitution-
al. But Judge Guthrie held the law to
be good. and the coal operators were
fined. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court, which delivered a di-
vded opinion, Judges Lucas and Holt
holding that the law was constitutional
and Judges English and Brannon hold
ing that it was not constitutional, leav-
ing the decision of Judge Guthrie un-
disturbed. Soon afterward operators
in Fayette couny were indicted and
tried in the Fayette Criminal Court,
and Judge BraZie, of that court, held
that the law was unconstitutional. At
the present term OF the hanaWha Cfllu-
inal Court, the Belmont Coal Company
was tried for the violation OF the law,
some eight or ten others having been
indicted for the same Offense Judge
Snyder has not yet rendered his de-
cision in the case, but will do so some
time this week 1t is more than prob
able that Judge Snyder will declare the
screen law unconstitutional Which
ever way he decides it, the case will be
appealed to the Supreme Court On
second deliverance from the Supreme
Court it would seem that the chances
are slightly against the constitutional
ity of the law. The two Judges Eng
lish and Brannon, are still members
of the Court. but only one Judge re
mains of the two who held the law to
be good at the former trial, Judge Lu-
cas- having been succeeded by Judge
Dent The only hope of those who
would like to see the law declared good
and in harmony with the constitution
is that Judge Dent may be on its slue,
and that either Brannon or English may
have changed his mind.
