Supreme Court Hearing Arguments in :
st33s Il Noted Case. x.
WASHINGTON, Dec. y.-The United
States supreme court has been engaged
all day in hearing arguments in case
involving the title Of about 500, 900 acres
Of land in Southern California. This
land was comprised in the original
grant to the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road company, made in 1885. and the
dispute is between the United States
government and the Southern Pacific
Railway company. This grant was
forfeited by the failure Of the Atlantic
and Pacific to build its road within the
specified time The Southern Pacific
claims the land on q junior grant. The
case comes to the supreme court from
the circuit court ofappoals for the Ninth
circuit, where the decision was adverse
to the railroad company. The record
of the case covers over 1000 pages of
printed matter, including complete
set of drawings and maps.

COAL AGREEMENT HOLDS.

Said There Ia No Present Likelihood Of
Breaking the Combine.
New YORK, Dec. 3.-The agreement
entered into Feb. of this year by the
presidents of the anthracite coal min
ing and carrying companies, at the in
stance of powerful financial interests,
will expire nominally on Jan. l, 1897.
At the time of the agreement, however,
it was arranged that the contract would
run on subject to 30 days notice from
any interest. There is the best of au-
thority for the statement that no notice
of withdrawal has been fled, and that
none will be. The companies, for the.
first time in the history of the anthra-
cite trade, kept faith with each other
absolutely, and all interested looked
confidently for the banner year of the
industry.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. i3.-The
water is now % feet above low water

Bridge streets are rapidly being va
Gated. The water is over the business
portion Of the town. One rumor to the
effect that the river would cut pas
sageway for itself through the high
banks north of the Central railroad
bridge gave rise to great apprehension.
The rivers course is seriously OBJ
structed by the gorge, which has
reached within short distance of the
dam, and the probable turning Of the
stream upon the city seems so plausible
that every one is panic stricken.
Spring street is impossible between the
bridge and Bay streets, and the water
is climbing steadily towards the base.

to see how any of the lower portion can
escape, for the coming of the waters
seems to be as sure as it is deliberate,

The Gorge Is Forty Feet High.
A busy scene continued to be enacted
in the city all day, and all sorts Of
vehicles were brought into use. The
Lumbermen's and First National banks
were both obliged to move, as were
nearly all the business houses. The
river presents a terrible appearance.
The ice gorge is 40 feet high and is
backing water on the city at the rate of
a foot per hour. Poor people are all
suffering terribly from cold.
The Wisconsin Central depot and
tracks are under water. All business
is being done over the Northwestern
line. The city is in complete darkness,
as the gas and electric light service is
shut off by the water. The Chicago,
and St. Paul has suspended
it's service through the Chippewa val
ley, it being utterly impossible to get

low grades the water rises mary feet

tinguish the engine fires. 1t looks at
