The Case Will Come Up lin the
Corporation Court Today.
FINAL DECISION PROBABLE
Question of Whether the Bill Shall he
Amended VIII be Discussed by
Counsel. Other Phases of
the Situation.

Those interested will have the pleas
ure of hearing the injunction case
against the street railway discussed in
the Corporation Court again today.
1t is possible that a final decision, so
far as Judge Barllam is concerned, may
be rendered. The argument this time
is upon the question of permitting the
plaintiff (the city, to amend the bill.
Should the judge decide that the de-
sired amendment is not proper to be
allowed, then the injunction will fall of
itself Should he decree that it is all
| lowabe it will then be his province to
, determine whether the injunction shah
be made permanent. This phase has
already been considered, and it is
thought that His Honor will, in this
case, make an order announcing his
decision.
The trouble with the bill is Il purely
technical one, and, if the amendment
is allowed will not affect the status of
the plaintiffs case. In the original
bill, the plaintiff is the mayor, when it
should b. the city, with the mayor as
agent. 1t is argued by the defense that
it is too late to amend the BILL inasmuch
as the temporary injunction has al
ready been allowed but the Common
wealth's attorney will offer a number of
precedents for his claim that the
amendment can properly be made at
this time.
There is no doubt that there will be
a great deal of discussion of this small.
but important point. and the decision of
the court is awaited with a great deal
Of interest
Nothing further has developed in the
two suits brought by the railway COM
pany against the city and the contract
ors on the sewer work, respectively. and
nothing is likely to develop before the
January rules, when it is expected that
they will be dismissed, though it is not
improbable that the acton Of the plain
tiff in this case will be. to q certain ex-
tent, dependant upon the result Of the
injunction proceedings.

MAY MUSTER ALL OUT
ALL VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS MAX
DE SENT HOME.
THEN A NEW CALL WILL BIZ ISSUED.
The President Wants Only Noiun'
teers to lie Retained-Thought That
Plenty of Men Could he Obtaincd--
Arrival of the second.

It Is now thought very probable that
not only the Second and Third Virginia
regiments, but that the Fourth as well.
will be mustered out Of the service.
President Mckinley is said to be seri-
ously considering the advisability OF mus
tering out all the volunteer regiments.
When they shall have been mustered out
of the service it is proposed that call
for volunteers for service In Cuba, Porto
Rico, and the Philippines be issued, SO
that the army to be sent thither shall be
composed of volunteers-men who ara
willing to go.
MANY DON'T WANT TO GO.
There can be no doubt that the men
who have been selected for foreign SER
vice are not all DESTROYS of remaining in
the army. IL is impossible to ascertain
how many men in each regiment wish
TO come home, and how many wish to re-
main I'm service, as no systematic effort, 80
far as known, has been made 10 learn
the exact sentiment. Still, tho objection
to further service Ia well known to tho
President and the Secretary OF War, and
this knowledge has made them very care
fully consider the situation, with View
10 devising means to have volunteer
army retained in the service. sending
back 20 their homes men who wish 10
remain there. This matter was discussed
very fully at a conference OF President
Mckinley Secretary Alger, and Adtu-
tant- General Corbin last week, and IL -
stated that II was almost decided 10 mus
ter cut all organizations. and give every
again.
II IS not thought that there would be
the slightest difficulty experienced In Sc
curing volunteers 10 number amply sur
ficient FOR the service needed. Among
the Virginia troops the percentage OF
those wishing 10 remain in the service Ia
very large. A number OF the members
OF every company of the Third Regiment
have slgnined their desire TO be trans
ferred to the Fourth. which is expected
TO go to Cuba, and the number in tho
Second who have similar wishes Is said
to be equally great.
COMING OF THE SECOND.
II is not known when the Second viii
be mustered out for the reason that II is
not known when Il will be ordered here.
There was a ruInOr current yesterday
that Il would be here to-day. but there
is no foundation for such report. as the
regiment. or a considerable portion Vf *,
is al Patio Beach. where a recuperation
camp has been established.
Major Shsnks. the quartermaster, Is
making every arrangement possible with
out definite knowledge on the subject, 10

They Will be quartered In the armories.
almost certainly, though Colonel Baker
has not signihed his wishes In the matter.
When the Third Regiment returns here
10 be mustered out II will go into camp.
II IS thought quite likely that the site of
the camp will not be Camp Lee. as Colo
mel Male has stated that he wants his
tents pitched elsewhere, II possible.
