Washington. Feb. 24=-It has been
represented To the officials of the inter-
Tor department that much injury is
about To accrue to many corporations
and individuals by a rigid enforcement
of the new mining regulations of the
date Of Dec. Is. The regulations carry the

of claims Several strong protests have
reached the department To the effect
that II the new rules were made to APP
ply from Dec. Is. the date of their is
sue they would be retroactive in oper-
alton. II has been urged that many
persons al that date and for some time
afterward did not have knowledge of
the important change which had been
made in the regulations and that il
would be manifest injustice to arbitrar-
lily enforce them.
The commissioner of the general land
office stated 10 your correspondent to-
to the secretary of the interior that the
new regulations be not enforced on
claims prior To Feb. | Of this year. thus

the alteration in the regulations. lie

In reply TO this observation Mr.. Carter
said: 1T Is possible to put such ubiIga-

human nature TO observe ther1." He
added the opinion that the railroad men
were generally as honorable as any other

out the figures showing the strength of
the naval militia up to date. This
shows a total force of 4445 officers and
enlisted men, which is a gratifying in
crease from the 3,703 shown by the re-
port. The number of officers and men
by states is as follows: California 1896,
Connecticut, 165; Florida, 2f0: Georgia,
225; Illinois, 523: Louisiana, 262; Mary
land, 2i0; Massachusetts, 44l; Michi-
gan. 1873: New Jersey, s64; New York,
Az; North Carolina, $50; Ohio, 216.
Pennsylvania. 216 Rhode Island, 130;
South Carolina, 1872 Virginia. A. To-
tai. 4,445.
Aside from this new brigades are in
process of formation which promise to
swell the total to mu.n larger figures
at an early date. The organization of
this auxiliary arm of the naval service
Is under the immediate direction of
Lieutenant Gibbons. U. 5. n, whose
energy has accomplished much in Sc
curing state organization in the har-
moniZing of the bodies into one COM
pact force. capable in emergency of CO.
operating with the regular navy. In his
last report Assistant Secretary Roose
Welt said that the state naval militia. in
the event of a sudden emergency, could
be utilized at once for manning the
smaller cruisers. 1t could be depended
upon mainly, he said, as a second line
of defense, and also oe used in placing
stations for coast defense. The appro-
priation of $4,000 that is to aid the
work of the naval militia will be appro
priated among the states in few
days.
Thanks to the promptness and eff
cheney of the chief of engineers and the
chief of ordnance of the army, the city
of Washington is now regarded as be-
ing we'll nigh safe and secure from at
tack by water. The Notifications at
Fort Washington and Sheridan Point,
on the opposite side of the Potomac,
are sufficiently advanced to be able to
repel an ordinary fleet of invaders, and
in case of necessity they could be. vast
ly strengthened in a comparatively
short time. These defenses are consid-
cred sufficient to keep all hostile vessels
beyond the range of gunshot.
Moreover, the river has been blocked
off and prepared for mines and torne-
does at a point below the Notifications
already mentioned, and it is probable
some of the ships of an enemy would
be blown out of the water before it
would be necessary to use the guns at
the forts.

Hood to-day cabled from the island of

WITNESSES EXAMINED.
The Board of Inquiry Will Soon Finish
Its Work in Havana.


Havana, Feb. 24.-The court of inquiry
held it's usual sessions to-day. Captain
Sampson reports that Chaplain Child
wick was examined as to his personal
experiences at the time of the disaster
to the Maine, and that the testimony
was taken of the captain Of a British
bark in the harbor and the super
ntendent of the West Indian oil works,
across the bay at Regla, both of whom
witnessed the explosion. Mr.. Rolf the
British engineer of the floating dock in
the harbor, wrote letter to the court
but, it is said. did not add anything
material to what was known.
All the afternoon session the divers
were examined more fully than before.
Their testimony is taken from day to
day. The court expects now to finish
here to-day and TO sail on the Mangrove
for Key West, where the other officers
and men will be examined.
The wreeking tug Right Arm did not
go north as was expected yesterday
She is now moored beside the poop of
the wreck and will save the smaller
portions as far as possible in advance
of the arrival of the>~4lther tugs with
more facilities for heavy work. The
hosting apparatus must be capable Of
raising scores of tons to be effective in
the work to be accomplished.
Chaplain Chadwick reports that all the
wounded here are doing well. except
Frederick c. Holzer of New York, who
may die at any moment.
Neither the officers of the court of in
quiry nor the witnesses will give the
slightest indication of the testimony or
the conclusions discernble from it, and
all say that the men employed on the
wreck have been warned to observe an
equally strict reticence. This course is
regarded as eminently wise by the Amer
leans and all intelligent Spanish officials
as there is no telling what passions
might be aroused or what evil results
might be brought about by the talking
of the matter in the present state of
public feeling in Havana. Thus far
Americans are treated with the utmost
courtesy and kindness and it seems the
special care of the residents of Havana
to show friendliness.
Consul General Lee says there is no
truth in the report that he had asked
Captain General Blaneo ia dismiss from
Cuba certain newspaper men for sending
sensational stories TO the United States.
On the contrary. General Lee has never
interfered with the newspaper men in
any way.
To-day the principal streets and
buildings are gaily decorated with flags
and bunting in honor of the Spanish sol
ders.
General Solano. the second chief of
staff to-day returned on board the Man
grove the visit of the court of inquiry,
acting as the represe entative of the gov
ernor general. Admiral Manterola per-
sonally returned the visit paid to him

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
A Formidable Array of Talent in the
Joint Traffic Case.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The supreme
court to-day began the hearing in the
joint traffic case in which the United
States seeks to have the agreement on
the part of the 81 leading roads of the
country, constituting the Traffic asso-
citation as formed i'm 1895. declared null
and void and to have the association
enjoined from operating under this
agreement.
The case has proved to be the means
of collecting the most formidable array
of counsel on the side of the defense
that has been seen In the court room
for many day The list included Sem
ator George r. Edmunds of Vermont.
Minister TO England +. J. Phelps.
and Hon. James e. Carter of New
York. each of whom. ii was announced,
would speak. Solicitor General Rich
ards appeared for the government. The
time for the presentation Of the pres
ent case was extended SO as 10 give
the counsel for the railroads four
hours.
Mr.. Richards opened. He depended
largely upon the decision of the SUI
preme court in the Trans Missouri
Freight association case as to the
precedent in this case. arguing that
there was practically no difference be-
tween the agreement in that case and
the agreement of the roads which We're
parties to the Joint Traffic associa-
tion
Mr. Richards was followed by Mr.. Car
ter for the traffic association. He con-
tended that instead of being restraint to
trade the Joint Traffic association agree
ment was actually intended 70 promote
trade and commerce. He argued that the
regulation did not necessarily mean re-
strant. and that the word was only used
in the statute applicable 10 injurious
restraint.
Mr.. Carter drew the construction that
al most the agreement was only a re-
straint upon competition. and he said
that competition was only an accident 10
the trade and was not always essential
TO the prosperity Of trade. In competition,
the most powerful shipper always has
the advantage. Take the Standard oil
company for instance; it was able TO COM
mand railroad rates under the competitive
system, and thus continue 10 add TO its
already large wealth. The remedy for
these evils was found in the restraint of
competition, which could be accomplished
