Is far less difficult than to draw the
line in advance between what is
authorized by existing law and what
is not authorized by existing law but
depend upon the way laws are con-
strued and the action of the superin-
tendents and boards and upon public
necessity for which legislatures APP
prOpriate money and in the bills
making said appropriations authorize
and direct the secretary Of state to
audit claims and draw warrants. The
lawyers and judges would no doubt
differ widely when it came to drawing
the line between the claims that
could be audited in advance of ap-
preparation under UptOn's opinion or
a similar opinion to be delivered now
by the supreme court, and no man on
earth could draw the line so it would
give anything like general satisfac-
ton. All who could not get their
claims audited, which would include
the most needy, would feel that they
were being Disseminated against,
and would have a grievance. To
audit all that were just and for nee
essary services or supplies, would in
clIde IA vast amount not authorized
by any law other than the appropria-
tiCn bill which has not yet passed and
would make the secretary liable,
under Upton's opinion, for exceeding
his authority. If the secretary Of
state could have the opinion of the
court that in the absence Of any APP
preparations he would be justified in
auditing all claims for necessary eX-
penses as are generally provided for in
appropriation bills but many of which
DO not depend upon any specific law
authorizing the expenses other than
the appropriation bill itself, l would
consent very reluctantly to assume
the responsibility until such reasona-
BILE time as the legislative assembly
could be convened in special session.
Bot to undertake to draw the line be-
tween claims which are authorized by
statute and audit them, in accord
ance with Upton's opinion or any
similar opinion which the court might
render, and claims which are for nee
essary services or supplies not author
lied by statute but required to carry
on the business of the state and for
which appropriations have heretofore
been made and probably will be made,
but could not be audited under
Upton's opinion in advance of appro-
priatiOns, would be assuming a very
grave responsibility. However, if the
friends to whom you refer or any
other person desires to get the opinion
of the court, 1 will endeavor to COM
ply with its mandate, whatever it may
be, to the best of my ability.
Yours truly,
Fl. r.. KINCAIO.

A REMARKABLE INVENTION.

line, it is said, will he put in constant
com" ,unication with the station next
ahead, or when desired, with the train
dispatcher or any public telegraph sta
tion.
A train equipped with tho Trott system
would mt all times be on IL "loop'' circuit,
extending to the next telegraph station
ahead. TO send messages or receive them
from other stations the operator ut the
proper station would only have to "cut

the regular telegraph wires.

A DOG coNoUERs A SHARK.
Exciting Battle in the Surf at Atlantic
City.


Atlantic City, Aug. 30.-Thousands of
bathers witnessed an exciting marine
battle this morning. The fight was. be-
tween handsome setter dog and a shark
over four feet in length. The dog was
SWIMMING in the ocean. just hey und the
breakers when. he was attacked by the
shark. The canine was handice pped by
the fact that his opponent was fighting
in his natural element, but he put up n
strong defence and soon became the ag-
gressor. The water was dashed into foam
by the fierce struggle that ensued, and
FOR II time it was hard to tell which OF
the gladiators had the better chance of
becoming the victor.
Little by little the dog gained the as
cendancy over his opponent and the
water WAS dyed with the life blood of the
expiring man. cater. The four-footed
champion was loudly applauded as he
dragged the fish ashore and then he
trotted modestly away rs if such things
were of every day occurrence.

Charged With Robbery.


Gertrude Bates and Irene Dorsey, both

charge of robhing Samuel Macknell of $50

Washington. the wall scraper,'' who was
sentenced to forty months in Jail yester-
day by Judge Kimba.l Washington made
clean breast to Detective Lacey and in
addition to a complete confession of his
own thefus, told the officers of the opera
tions of several other thieves.
Detective Lacey went to Baltimore, to
which place the girls had gone, and took
them into custody Yesterday morning
when they were brought into court
hearing was given them before the Wash
ington case came up Washington's testi-
mony showed that the women had secured
the money from Macknells room while
he had gone out TO buy beer.
Lawyer Peyton, who appeared for the
Bates girl, attempted to make the point
that Washington was disqualified because
he had been in the pcnitentiary. Judge
Kinball overruled him, however, but said
he would consider that circumstance when
reviewing the evidence.
Peyton then attempted to bscredit
Washington's statements, and began
long and useless cross-exauination, which
merely consumed the time of the court
Washington S testimony was corroborated
by another witness, and the girls were
held bonds being fixed at $500 in the case
