PROSPECT OF A STRIKE,
Trouble on the Gould Lines
May Result in General
Walkout.
Caused by the Abrogation Of Con-
tract With the Order OF
Telegraphers.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July pa special
from Little Rock, Ark, says that unless
Grand Chief Powell of the Order of Rail-
way Telegfaphers, who arrived in Little
Rock to-day, effects settlement between
the telegraphers and the Missouri Pacific
Railway Company general strike on the
Gould system. affecting every department
of the lines, is almost certain to be inau-
gurated.
The trouble arose out of the order of
Superintendent ]. A. Edison of the Cotton
Belt, a part of the Missouri Pacific system,
abrogating the contract with the Order of
Railway Telegraphers.
Edison issued an order on June % abro-
eating the contract between the road and
the Order of Railway Telegraphers, the
order to take effect July %. The reason
given by Mr.. Edison for the abrogation of
the contract was that the order was badly
managed and interfered with the disci-
pline of the road.
The dispatch from Little Rock contains
the information that the order issued to
the Cotton Belt telegraphers is but the be-
ginning of movement to be extended to
other branches of the Gould system if this
first move proves to be successful. Next
Sunday is the date fixed for the cancella-
ton of the contract.

both treaties and State laws must be re-
spected, yet in several instances they are
in direct conflict.
1t was learned at the agency that at
least 200 bucks are absent from the reserva
ton, and nearly all their leaves of absence
expired some time ago. Agent Teters has
begun thorough investigation OF the
trouble, and is making trip through the
Jackson Hole country on horseback.
The trouble reported by ranchmen in the
mountains of the Salt River Valley cannot
be further confirmed. Agent Teters is ex-
pected back Wednesday, and an authori-
tative statement can then be secured of al
trouble that has occurred, although even he
probably cannot foretell just what will be
done by the silent red men who are now
said to be plotting return to their dis
puted hunting grounds unincumbered by
their women and children.
1t is the general opinion at the agency
that the Bannock braves cannot be brought
back to the reservation without the use of
Federal troops.

PERFORMED IN PRIVATE.
The Nuptial Knot Was Tied
by One of New York's
Aldermen.
OPPOSED BY BROTHER JAKE.
Was Being Transformed Into
Countess.

NEW YORK, NY, July 22,-The Count
and Countess Geralmo Nasseh will sail for
Europe this morning. The voyage will be
honeymoon trip, for the couple were
yesterday made man and wife in what is
now known as the marriage chamber of
the City Hall by Alderman Frederick
Ware.
So quiet was the entrance of the bride
and groom expectant, and so modestly
were they arrayed that very few if any
save the officiating Alderman himself and
the witnesses knew that the former was
the beautiful Mrs. Amelia Spiess of
IL East Sixty-third street, and the
latter no less person than Count
Geralmo Nasseli, the Italian Consul at
New Orleans, and late Vice Consul for
Italy in this city. 1t was private mar
riage, none but a few friends of the bride
being present. Among them were her two
lovely daughters, the Misses Gabrielle and
Viola Spiess. The ceremony did not take
long, and after it was over and Alderman
Ware had congratulated them, the happy
couple went uptown, where a wedding
breakfast was served in the same unosten-
tatious manner in which they were united.
The Countess is 80 years of age and so is
the Count. They were thrown much to-
gether in society in this city, where they
learned to like each other, and the liking
ripened rapidly into love.
Jake" Hess, brother of the Countess,
was not one of those in the City Hall when
the marriage took place, and it is under
stood he was not altogether disposed to
look upon it with favor. This was inferred
from the manner in which the ladies of
Mr.. Hess household received the. news
and their extreme reticence. ''We have
absolutely nothing to say" was their an
swer to a reporter last night.
1t was different at the house of the bride.
One of the Misses Spiess said to reporter:
"The marriage was quite private affair,
and the civil ceremony was made necessary
by the laws of Italy. AS regards the feel
ings of my uncle's people, really know
nothing"
The witnesses to the marriage were
Count Branchi, Italian Consul at this port,
and Second Vice-Consul Alberti. The
Countess will be presented at the Italian
court soon after her arrival in Rome, and
in the fall will return to this country.

MILLIONS ARE AT STAKE.
Held to Be a Violation of the
United States Con-
stitution.
PROPERTY RIGHTS INVOLVED.
The Case VIII Be Carried Before
the Highest Tribunal in
the Land.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 2.-One
of the most important decisions rendered
in the courts of California was given by
Judge Ross of the United States Circuit
Court this morning. The decision declares
the Wright irrigation act unconstitutional.
1t was passed by the Legislature of 1887,
and under it over $5O,OO0,0O0 worth of
bonds have been issued,
The decision rendered by Judge Ross
was on a demurrer entered in the suit of
Maria King Bradley ct al. VS.. the Fall
brook Irrigation District. The action was
q suit in equity by which ii was sought to
have enjoined the execution of a deed for
certain land of the complainant under
sale made by the collector of the irrigation
district to satisfy delinquent assessment
against the property levied under and by
virtue of the provisions of the Wright act.
The announcement that the decision
would be rendered this morning crowded
the courtroom with some of the most
prominent legal lights in California
Judge Ross occupied over two hours in
reading the decision, which covered thirty
three closely typewriter pages and con-
tanned over 10000 words.
Among the clauses of the Wright act is
one which provides for the confirmation of
proceedings by the Superior Court. In
this particular case the Superior Court has
not yet confirmed the proceedings. 1t has
been held by the United States Supreme
Court in reclamation cases that where
there is a confirmation proceeding and
when after the close of these proceedings
the regularity of the proceedings is con-
firmed, then the case is adjudicated and
the constitutionality Of the proceedings
cannot be brought up. There are several
cases of this character.
Most of the bonds sold under the Wright
irrigation act are in 4he districts in which
the proceedings under the Wright act have
bsen confirmed by the Superior Court.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-23

without due process of law and for any
other than lawful purpose. Such ques-
tons are not to be determined by c9nsid-
eratons OF expediency or hardship. I'm
fortunate as it Will be in the losses that
Will result to investors, and desirable as it
undoubtedly is in this section of the coun-
try that irrigation facilities be improved
and extended, it is far more important
that the provisions of that great charter
which is the sheet anchor of safety be in
all things observed and enforced. The
views above expressed render it unneces-
sary to consider tie other objections urged
on the part of the complainants.
Samuel F. Smith, one of the attorneys
Tor the defendants, was seen shortly after
the decision was rendered and said:
we will push the case, as an amended
answer will in nowise affect the decision.
Ihere will be but three points to our an
swer: That the petition alleges that there
was no stream of water, while in fact there
is enough water nine months in the year
to irrigate one-half the county; that we
did not include the tracts of land alleged to
belong to the State and the United States,
and that they were not included in the
oSe4iHdle Ot the amount necessary 10 lIIl-
gate the land in the district.
This decision will affect the property
rights of alien holders, and it is hard to say
Just how far-reaching this decision will be,
or how much damage it will infiict on the
State. 1t will, if upheld, destroy most, if
not all, irrigation districts, and will affect
not less than $4,000. 600 worth of bonds.
''The gist of Judge Ross decision is that
the Wright act is unconstitutional by rea-
son OF its provisions being in no way
framed for public purposes, but delegates
to private parties the right to dispossess
others of property without due process of
law, which is contrary to the fourteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States.
I'VE have had all the heavy legal talent
of California arrayed against US in this
suit and have had no assistance of any
kind from other irrigation districts. 1t is
of the utmost Importance to California's
reputation that this act be upheld and we
will fight it through to the bitter end"

MORE BLoODsHED FEARED.
Indians Leaving for the Scene of the


Trouble.
POCATELLO, IDAHO, July 22.-At the
Bannock.. Indian agency, thirteen miles
north of here, those in authority who are
in possession of all the facts obtainable do
not believe the trouble in the Jackson Hole
country can possibly reach a final settle
ment now without more bloadshed. The
rumors current here last night regarding
the depredations of returning band of
Bannocks and their killing of three white
settlers cannot be further confirmed. Not
more than fifty Indians have SO far re-
turned to the immediate vicinity OF the
agency. and they will not talk.
Although it can be positively stated that
the rumored danger in this immediate
vicinity is without foundation, it is conf

daily by the Indian police from the scene
of the recent trouble in Northwestern
Wyoming, that there will be other clashes
there between the Indians and the settlers
and the tough characters in the Jackson
Hole country. The police who were sent
to bring back the hunters returned to the
reservation with remarkable speed, and
reported to the agent that they had argued

the trouble. From some of the most
trusted police it is learned that many Of
the Indians who are apparently returning
to their homes have quietly said that they
are taking their squaws and papooses
home to the reservation, and that then the
warriors would return to see those white
men in the Jackson Hole country.
The clash in that region is one that re-
ours every year, but this time, THE CALL

seems to be determination on both sides
to settle the question as to whether the In

regardless of State game laws. The In

without struggle, and the bona-fide set
tiers and the characters, far worse than
Indians, who infest part of the country
are determined to give the Indians such
severe treatment that they will not return
next year. Regarding these hunts Indian

SWEPT BY A CYly
Death and Destruction ViS
Upon a New>Mexico
Town.
Twenty People Said to Have, Been
Crushed to Death Beneath
Falling Buildings.

WHITEWATER, N. MEX, July o.
Couriers arrived here to-day from Silver
City with the startling news that cyclone
and cloudburst had swept down upon that
place, carrying death and destruction in
its path. The couriers said they had none
of the particulars of the disaster, except
that the report was that twenty people had
been crushed to death by the collapse of
the Immer House, the largest hotel in the
place, and in other buildings that were
ruined.
The Santa Fe officials declare that their
advices are that no lives were lost, but five
hotels and several buildings were ruined.
They had only meager bulletins, and said
all communication with the ill-fated town
had been cut off by the cloudburst.
All the bridges on the Silver City
division of the Santa Fe road have been
washed out and large sections of track
have been carried away. The greatest
apprehension is felt for the people of Silver
City. 1t is feared many of them have per-
ished. A relief party has started out from
here. It's return is waited with the greatest
anxiety.
Silver City is pretty little city, built in
the canyon at the foot of Mogollon Noun
tain. 1t has about $500 inhabitants. The
water burst forth above the city, and was
preceded by such rumbling that warning
was given in time for great numbers to
escape. No idea can be given at this time
as to the loss of life, but it may have been
greater than at first reported.

Judge B. f. Lee Of Los Angeles, who,
with his wife, is visiting in this City, was

Courts action. But in others, where the

The Supreme Court has under considera-
ton case in which the proceedings have
been confirmed and the constitutionality
OF the act challenged.
Attorneys for the irrigation districts say
that if the United States Supreme Court
follows the decision it made IN the Hagan
reclamation case and others it will pro-
hounce the confirmation acts of the Supe-
rlor Court adiudicated matter thai cannot
be opened. This will legalize $4,000 900
or more OF the irrigation bonds that have
been issued in which the proceedings have
been confirmed.
However, the decision of Judge Ross in
validates $25,0O0,0O0 worth of bonds of ir-
rigation districts in which confirmation
proceedings have not been had.
The main points on which Judge Ross
decided the case were that under the
Wright act the land was taken from pri-
Vate owners without due process of law
and that it was not for public purposes. 1t
was not like taking property for high
way, but was the taking of property for
the benefit Of property owners, whether
they be few or many. Closing Judge Ross
stated:
The fact that vast sums of money have
been invested in works constructed under
and in pursuance of this legislation and
that bonds running into millions have
been issued and sold Hereunder, and that
many individuals may not otherwise be
able to secure water for the irrigation of
their respective tracts of land, and that the
validity of the legislation has been several
times sustained by the Supreme Court of
the State, while demanding on the part of
this court great care and caution in the
consideration of the case and casting upon
it very grave responsibility, cannot JUS
tify it in falling to declare invalid egisla-
tion which, in its Judgment, violates those
principles of the constitution of the United
States which protect the private property
