COULD RESULT SERIOUSLY.
The Santa Fe Receivership Case Might
Bring on Miniature War.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-The Star
this evening prints the following:
The turn taken in the Santa Fe re-
ownership case opens the way for most
serious conflict between the federal and
state courts. Should the receiver ap-
pointed by Judge Meyers finally succeed
in qualifying and demand possession of
the road the officers of the latter would
refuse to yield, standing on the expec-
tation that Judge Foster of the federal
court would assume jurisdiction in the
case. His authority, resisted by the rail
road people, the receivers recourse would
be to ask Judge Meyers for an order
calling out the posse comitatus to help
him take possession of the property.
Such an order would authorize the sher-
iff to summon every male citizen of JEFF
ferson county, if necessary, to put the
receiver in possession of the road. Then
Judge Foster, presuming that he would
assume jurisdiction, would order the
United States marshal to appoint an
army of special deputies to enforce the
process of his court Then the sheriff
would call upon the governor of the state
for militia and the United States marshal
could appeal to the. secretary of war fol-
troops and thus bring on a collision be-
tween the state and the federal gov
eminent.
Assistant Attorney Goddard says there
is ample room in the case for it, and
should the two courts and the parties
in interest be stubborn and lose sight
of the real merits of the case minia
ture war would result. But it is likely
the case will be settled without ever
coming to hearing before any cour'
on its merits.

SOUTHERN LUMBERMEN.
Special Session to Consider Advancing
Prices and Tariff Legislation.

Memphis, Nov. 1S.-The southern lum-
bermen's convention convened in extra
session this morning, the special object
of the called meeting being to discuss
and fix an advance in prices, and also to
consider ways and means of securing
tariff legislation on the part of the next
congress to fix n duty on Canadian lum-
Der. In spite of the fact that the meet
ing was called rather suddenly, or at
least at much shorter notice than is GUS
tomary, the attendance was unusually
large and the interest unusually active.
1t is claimed that the lumber interests
have been among the first to resopnd to
the increased activity since election, as
they were among the first to feel the de-
preston due them prior to the election.
This mornings session was devoted
chiefly to hearing the secretary's report,
listening to suggestions and communica-
tons and the gathering of data as to the
stock of lumber now on hand and the
amount of outstanding orders. The only
business transacted was of Il preliminary
character, mainly the appointment OF
! committees to take up the convention
work.

Judge Stewart Decides the Case Involv

Galveston. Tex. Nov. 20.-(Special.) J.

scssment case of the City of Galveston
VS.. John Bennison.
Under the decision of the supreme
court of Texas an assessment levied on

supreme court did not pass: In the Ben.
nison case, City Attorney Smith pleaded
for personal judgment, the right to such

ants counsel. Judge Stewart had the

partner of the rest of the country not
