invention at the hydrants in the neigh

unsuccessful, owing to a deficiency of
the water pressure. but subsequent
trials with improved conditions in this
respect have proven very successful,
and the probabilities are that the in

by the fire departments throughout the
country.

Justices Concluded.

Before the supreme Court
Justices Concluded.
washington. Jan. 15.-The hearing re-
80 wing the receivership of the North
racine, Which began yesterday be-
,ore justices Field, Harlem, Brewer and
brown sitting in chambers. was con-
',hueo today. Ex-senator Spooner con-
Guided his arguement and was follouod
oy Petit, direct representative of TIA
railroad company.
0pooner's arguments consisted prin-
cipally OF citation of authorities ia
voring recognition Of the jurisdiction
OF the Milwaukee court. He said in
conclusion that he believed it would be
IN order for the supreme court to make
a rule IN equity which would prevent
such complication, in the future. as
arise in this case.
Fettlt opposed the position Of Turner
ana Spooner. He denied the assertion
that the receivers were appointed in the
lhiust OF panic, declaring that months
were consumed whether to decide to
apply to the courts sitting in Milwaukee
or in those of Chicago or St. Paul. He
said the recognition of the Milwaukee
recelvership in the beginning was due
TO the fact that the parties who applied
Tor the appointment of receivers were
IN possession of the road and of course
1t turned all the property over to them.
Pettlt's argument was for recognition
OF jurisdiction Of the circuit for the
Washington district. He said his choice
was controlled by the fact that the rail-
road company had more property in
that Jurisdiction than any other.
Choate, who appeared for the Adams
committee, representing the bondhold-
ers, defended the jurisdiction Of the Mil
waukee court.
| The justices asked the several attor-
neys to prepare such orders as they
might wish to have promulgated to be
submitted to them at future meeting
which the justices would hold for con-
sultation.

DEAL FOR THE BLACK HORNET is OFF
Ca plain Piummer necidcd That the Mine
Lacked Developments.

Captain Piummer necidcd That the Mine
Lacked Development.
Boise, Jan. 15.-The deal by which
Captain Plummer was to secure the
Black Hornet mine for the English
company he represents has fallen
through The question Of price broke
up the negotiations. Captain Plummer
wanted the property, but he did not
think it worth 100000 with the present
showing and made lower offer, cur
rently reported at 1000. This was re-
fused.
The mine has had very little devel-
opment and the owners had mined and
shipped the high grade ore that they
opened up. Thus there was not enough
left in sight to warrant Captain Plum
mer in purchasing the mine at the fig-
ure asked. While the owners have such
entire confidence in future develop
ments they were not willing to accept
anything less.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30-The attcn.
ton of Commissioner Stump, Of the
em;grant bureau, was called to the
movement loolsing to the colonization
in this country of Armenian refugees.
Mr.. Stump said that Secretary Carlisle
and himself had been fully advised Of
such movement, and various appeals
had been made from Lady Henry Som.
erset and from Frances Willard and
English and American relief associa-
lions asking for the cooperation OF
the government in furnishing these
stricken people an asylum in the United
States, Tut while the sympathies OF
all good people must be aroused in
their behalf, the officers Of the
government must enforce the
laws as they exist. The matter was
being investigated, and II any lawful
means could be found they would be
exercised in behalf of the refugees.
The law on the subject, however,
strictly inhibits the landing in this
country OF all persons likely TO be-
come n public charge, and also "any
person whose ticket or passage is paid
for with money of another, or who is
assisted by others to come" This be.

not SO state, it seems altogether proIa'
