RAILWAYS BLOCKADED
Roads in the Northwest Have nuch
Snow to Contend With.

ST. PAUL (Minn), March 15.-Rail-
roads have never before in their his
tory in the Northwest had much to
contend with because of drifting snow.
1t is stated that there are 200 cars of
freight at initial points and elsewhere
destined for towns off the main lines in
Dakota and Minnesota that cannot
reach their destination until branch
lines are opened. 1t is stated that
there is suffering in South Dakota by
reason of the branch lines being
closed. In that State over 800 miles
OF road have been practically aban-
doned for fully two weeks. Nearly all
of this mileage is on the branch lines
of the Milwaukee system and the
Northwestern. Part of it belongs to
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. Many towns in South Dakota
have had no mail for some time to say
nothing of freight and passenger traf-
fic Through trains on the main lines
Of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern and the 500 are running, but
from two to seven hours late. These
roads are concentrating their efforts to
keep coast lines open. The trains be-
tween here and Chicago are running on
fair time.

TO TAX CORPORATIONS.
The U. s. Supreme Court Decides That
States Have That Power,

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The at
tention of the United States Supreme
Court was given largely to-day to the
power of States to tax franchises of
corporations, such as express, tele-
graph and railroad companies Two
Kentucky cases, involving the consti-
tutionality Of the State law of 1892
one affecting the Henderson bridge and
the other the Adams Express Com
pany, We're both decided favorably to
the State.
A general review of the rights of
the States to enact laws of this char
acter was also promulgated through
Justice Brewer, in an opinion denying
a petition by various telegraph and ex-
press companies for rehearing in the
cases in which the tax acts of the
Ohio Legislature and Indiana We're in
volved, the law having been sustained
by the decisions in these cases rem
dered at a former sitting.
Justices Field, Harlan, Brown and
White dissented.
Justice White read the dissenting
opinion. He said the law was di-
rect attempt to. tax property outside

III its effects
On motion of Attorney General Me
kenna, mandate was ordered to be
issued in the case of the steamer Three
Friends.
The court dismissed the Las Vegas
Land Grant case, because of it's abate-
ment on account of the resignation of
Secretary Smith. The case involves
the ownership of 1I5 square miles of
land in the vicinity of Las Vegas, N.
NJ. To-day's action confirms the title
of the claimants, if the Government
does not renew it's appeal.

CONDEMNED TO THE LOOKUP.
The Examiner" Men Remanded by the
Supreme Court.
But at Last Accounts They Had
Not Been Found by the
Sheriff.

Andrew Lawrence and L. L. LevingS,
the Examiner" men who were remand
ed to the custody of Sheriff Johnson by
the Superior Court Of this county for
contempt in refusing to inform Sem
ate investigating committee from
whom they obtained certain alleged in
formation, and who We're admitted to

hearing before that body yesterday on

county
Sheriff Johnson made his return Of
the writ before the Supreme Court yes
terday morning, and the defendants
appeared in court with their counsel.
Arguments were heard and submitted,
and between 4 and > o'clock the court
reconvened to render its decision.
Then the Examiner opponents of
new Journalism were not present they
being still on bail, and of course not
in the Sheriff's custody.
The court made an order remanding
them to the custody of the Sheriff, but
they must have anticipated that result,

for them they could not be found.
AT midnight last night Deputy Hin
tiers telephoned from San Francisco
that he had been unable to find the
men, though he had hunted assiduously
for them.
The supposition was that the con-
demned men did not want to spend the
night in Jail, and that they were trying
some new dodge-probably writ OF
habeas corpus from the United States
Court
The following dispatch was received
last night:
SAN FRANCISCO, March 16.-Late
this afternoon the highest tribunal or
the State passed upon the question OF
contempt at issue between the State
Senate and the "Examiner' men as to
the charge of corruption made against
the former.
1t was decided that A. NJ Lawrence
and L. l.. Levings are in contempt Wheh
they refused to tell at the bar OF the
Senate who gave them the information
upon which the Examiner" based ITS
charges of bribery in aid of thieVefy
The court dismissed the writ OF ma
beas corpus applied for by the contuma-
cious journalists and remanded them TO
the custody of the Sheriff of Sacramento
County.
It was stated this evening in Sacra-
nento that Lawrence and LevinSs could
not be found by the Sheriff and that
they had disappeared; on the other
hand it was stated in San Francisco
that Editor Lawrence was about town
and was preparing some sort OF appll-
cation to the United States District
Court.
Both men were in court this morning
but did not appear there this afternoon
to respond to the judgment which they
had given bail to respond to.
POINTS OF THE DECISION.
The court, after reviewing the case,
held that there were no parties to this
proceeding. The Senate was inVesu-
eating the conduct Of its own members,
and it was a contempt of its authority
for the witnesses to refuse to give the
names of those who We're responsible
for the PRONUNCIATION of the charge
1t cannot be successfully contended,
and has not been seriously argued, says
the court. that the witnesses We're JuSu-
fed in refusing to give these names upon
the ground that the communication was
privileged.

said he was glad he had such a kind
father.

there is always something to be

even our leisure hours yield something
more than mere diversion"

INJURED Yes, SIR
That evening Johnny stopped as he
entered the yard and looked pensively
at his father, who was putting a new
piece Of flooring in the front porch. His
work caused him to bend far over, and
Johnny's eye lit with inspiration. Co
ing noiselessly around the side of the
house, he returned with a barrel stave
He waved it up and down two or three
times so as to make his aim sure and
then struck. The noise of the impact
was great, but it was slight compared
to the noise his father made as he leaped
in the air with a yell and descended on
his hands and feet, like a gorilla. 1t
was a wholly undignified spectacle, and
the triumph faded out of the boys face
as he saw the fierce expression that his
victim wore.
You young scoundrel, You villain!"
Mr.. Blykins yelled. You reprobate.
You thug. You highlander! What do
you mean by committing such dis
graceful attempt at parricide? You
come with me, SIR
You oughtn't to punish me for that"
Johnny protested. You told me that
the theater was a great educator, and
that / must remember to keep my eyes
open and learn all / could. When the
boy on the stage did that, everybody
thought it was splendid and laughed
and applauded."
It's your own fault, Lemuel," said

I'll concede is that the stage needs ele-

but they are all perfectly satisfied.
They work keeping time to song; the
gentle temperature is no more demand
ing than the sum of their modest
wants; the music of the wind through
the pines makes a balsam- charged air
vibrant above their beds of pine boughs.
They knew no Ills, and are as happy
and care free as the mockingbird that
trills above them as they work. While
at the present time there really Is no
employment that suits the average col
ored laborer of the South better than
turpentine farming, the indications are
that this will not be true of the rising
generation, who are evidencing the di-
vine discomfort that incites to amending
effort, but. in the meantime, their pro-
genitors are joyfully content.
While the light-hearted turpentine
workers are boxing, chipping and dip
ping. and the experts at the still are
separating the residuum of the crude
gum, which is rosin, from the spirits
that is the turpentine of commerce, the
unending discussion among those inter-
ested in forestry is going forward as to
whether OF not turpentining pine tree
Injuries it for lumber There can be
no doubt that to continue to turpentine
tree for a term of years. say ten or
fifteen, does make it well nigh useless
for lumber, as the layers which sur
round the heart become soft and
spongy. For a shorter time. say three
years, and it is during the first years
that the best results are obtained, the
INJURY is scarcely perceptible. Of
course. the tree does not continue TO
grow after it has been boxed. and there
is much more danger from fire after a
tract has been turpentined than before,
but, aside from this it is claimed that
pine forest is not deteriorated by be-
ing turpentined for a short time.-F'lor
