DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
Judge Blizzard Decides the Indictment
Sufficient for Owens, but Defective
as to Mrs. Atkinson.

WESTON, W. Va, June 3.-Judge
Blizzard to-day ruled that the in
document jointly made against Mrs.
Atkinson and Joshua Owens in the
Chenille Circuit Court, was sufficient
to hold Owens but defective as to
Mrs. Atkinson, and that she was dis
charged. A jury was impanneled and
the Owens case taken UP.
An effort is being made to indict
Mrs. Atkinson at the present term.
The Governor lectured at the aca-
deny last night to a crowded house.
His subject was San American Citi-
zen.
A late report from Chenille is to
the effect that the grand jury is again
in session and that evidence is being
taken, with the end in view Of bring
ing another Indictment against Mrs.
Atkinson, so she may be tried at this
term of court. The new Indictment
will be framed to meet the objections
raised in the demurrer offered by Mrs.
Atkinson's attorney and sustained by
Judge Blizzard to-day.

G0y. ATKINSoN's VIEWS
In Regard TO Retaining Possession Of
the Philippine Islands.

Letter to the Editor of the New York
Times: You ask my views as TO the
policy of the government retaining
possession of the Philippine Islands
as a part of our national territory.
am clearly of the opinion that 1t
would be mistake TO annex any ter
ritory that might result from our
war with Spain. 1t is very evident
that we are going TO overthrow Spain
in the present contest. We have al
ready possession of the Philippines,
and | do not believe that they can be
wrested from us. Cuba and Puerto
Rico will ultimately be captured by
our government. They then be-
come our property. But, as | have
said above, it would be mis-
take for our government to retain
them as provinces. The principal
reason, in my Judgment, for our
great success as a nation, lies in the
fact that we have refused to engage
in any undertaking looking to the ac-
QUESTION of territory remote from our
borders. We have devoted our at
NNhlipi III NIlcAtJ wv 4tdlS W
developing our own territory, and the
result has been the most marvellous
growth of nation known TO history
We have sought to employ our own
people at home, thus developing their
genius, diversifying our industries and
keeping our money at home We
have been at peace with all other ma
finnG mo if1lxf hnaa11sA al
them TO pursue the course Of aequir-
ing foreign territory without compe-
tition from us If we should under
take to hold the possessions captured
from Spain, as part of our national
domain, our original policy, which we
have pursued for over 100 years, will
be entirely changed, our standing
army will have to be largely increased,
and we will be constantly engaged
with broils with other nations. /
trust that our government will not
engage in that sort of business If
the territory wrested from Spain, as
a result of the present war (and have
no doubt as to the result), shall be
converted into independent republics
that, of necessity, will hereafter be
friendly to us, we will be abundantly
paid for the blood and treasure neces-
sary to free them from oligarchy and
enable them to control themselves as
Independent nations.
AS matter of course we should be
paid proper compensation for these
islands by other governments who
need them worse than we do, and
who want them.

Governor of West Virginia.

Chamber, Charleston, May 81.

what a general, lieutenant general,
major general, brigadier, colonel,

THE ART DISPLAY.

Some Very Fine Pictures are Being
Shown in the Art Department Great
Progress has been made in this
School
The art department has prepared
a display that is simply astonishing
to those who have not been close OBJ
servers of the progress that has been
made in this department. This was
done for the regents to show what
the pupils in this department can
do in the very short time that it has
been in operation. The display will
be open to the public until after
commencement and will be one of
the most attractive things about the
institution.
Many of the pieces are real works
of art and all of them show talent
that is exceptional. Those who can
get the opportunity cannot do better
than drop into Science Hall and
take look at the pictures on exhi-
bition. To Mrs. Hubbard the in
structoI in this department is due
the credit for much of the progress
made by the pupils this year.

A Question of Constitution.

The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday rendered descision
in the case of King against Mullen,
which is of the utmost Importance to
this State.
This case involved the validity of
the Constitution of West Virginia,
which provides for the forfeiture of
lands when they are not entered on
the land books for taxation. 1t was
claimed that this provision violated
the fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution OF the United States,
as taxing of property without due
process of law. Judge Golf, in the
lower court held that the forfeiture
law was valid, and the Supreme
Court affirms the decision. Had it
been otherwise, the result would have
been disastrous and almost il
limitable confusion in land titles in
thisState.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things thathave
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

Mckinley is confident that
the Hawaii annexation job
will become a law and he is
in favor of it.
A bond issue provision has
been incorporated in the war
revenue measure as is one also
providing for the coinage of
the seignorage now in the
Treasury.
The revolutionists have been
repulsed in San Domingo,
The Merrimac a collier has
been sent on the torpedoes at
Santiago and sunk. She
blockades the channel. The
crew volunteered for this duty
and were made prisoners.
The ruse will relieve some of
the ships in the blockade.
Schley has made a formal
report of a recent recon
noisance he has made of the
forts at Santiago and what he
learned from it.
The navy department dis
credits the rapport that a sec
ond Spanish fleet is almost
across the Atlantic and in
striking distance Of the Amer
lean fleets in Cuban waters.
The Holland submarine
boat may be sent to Santiago

Six hundred Americans and
Britians had banquet last
night in London which was
unique. Toats were drunk

THE MOOT TRIAL.
Large Crowd Sees the Event
Which Opens the Com
mencement Season.

The Trial Was Very Interesting and
AbOunded in Dramatic Situations.
Defendant Gets Free-He was Sued
For Fifty Thousand Dollars for False
Arrest-He prove His Innocence to
the Satisfaction of the Jury-The
Council on Either Side The Wit
nesses and the Jury-Judge Johnson
Presides Over the Trial-The Fight
Between Two Counsel Over Legal
Qustion-0ther Details.
The third moot court trial to be
held at the University came off last
night in Commencement hall The
hall was packed as the public knew
that they were to see something of
interest. Nor were they disappointed.
The trial abounded in funny situa-
tions and there were several places
where good laugh could be taken by
all. This was the first regular event
of the commencement season and it
was very successful.
Judge johnson presided with his
usual dignity and his rulings were full
of humor and caught the crowd in
great shape. The fight which grew
out OF tilt between Judge Ice and
A. e. Kenny was very realistic and
brought down the house.
The trial was very interesting. The
points involved were so strangely
twisted up together that the atten-
tion of the crowd was held from start
to finish. Miss Thomasia CASTELAR,
was the plaintiff and John Thomas
Goodrich the defendant. Miss Cas-
tellar had been arrested charged with
having stolen a dress pattern from
her employer, Mr.. Goodrich, and she
sued him for false arrest, claiming
that he had tried to make love to her
and being rep1lsed had taken this
method of avenging himself. The
jury found for the defendant.
The jury was composed of A. W.
Jones, S. w. Hare, Bert Baker, T. b.
Wilgus, Bernie Morgan, William
Moorhead, Joseph Moreland, Col. Gill
more, Joseph Wharton, Fuller Glass
cock and D. G. Hoffman. Mr. More
land was chosen foreman.
The counsel for the prosecution was
Judge Ice, V. G. Champ and L. c..
Grille; for the defense, W. r. Lilly, r.
ID. Heironimus and A. E. Kenny.
The lawyers all acquitted themselves
we'll and their addresses to the jury
were full of eloquence and learning.
The witnesses were Paul Mccoy,
Mrs. J. G. Frazer, Tom Davis, Miss
Sarah Maud Johnson, J. f. Maynard
Mrs. J. w. Wiles, Miss Leila Cam
eron, Col. James G. Frazier, Cap. Hat
