IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED.

HARRISVILLE, ". Va. August S.-A
very important case has just bean aecid I'd
by Judge Freer in the Circuit Court. 1t
is the case of the Richie Coal Company
VS.. the Cairo and Kanawha Valley Rail-
road. and decides the validity of the title
to the property. worth thousands of dol
lars, over which the railroad runs. The
land was years ago considered practically
useless. and was sold for taxes. 1t was
purchased by H. S. Wilson. the present
owner, and afterwards as the oil develop
ments proved the territory upon which
coal was also found. to be in abundance,
to be very valuable. the Richie Coal
Company. the former owners. contested
the rghtful ownership of the land with
Mr.. Wilson. and the decision of the case
in Mr.. Wilson's favor is considered Of
much interest as many similar suits
would no doubt have came before the
court had the case been decided in the
plaintiffs favor.

THE "OPEN DOOR" POLICY.

Speaking of calling an extra session
field, which is not at all necessary,
it may be desirable to call that body
together before the regular time to as
certain whether Ut HOT IL ueslres en-
extend the "open door" all along the
line of our conquered possessions as
has been done temporarily at Santiago,
and if SO how this can be done in ac-
cordance with the Constitution I'M
less the same policy is extended to
the entire country.
1t is said many Englishmen believe
and hope our government will recCg-
nize the principle of the "open door
in the West Indies permanently. This
hope derives some little encouragement
from the fact that the government
has directed that at Santiago the same
duties shall be collected ON American
goods as on other goods Of the same
kinds Ard it derives some further
encouragement by outgivings of per-
sons supposed to be in the confidence
of the President that the tariff policy
adopted at Santiago is to be extended
to tie entire island, and to all other
islands we have taken from Spain.
1t is understood, however, that the
administration makes a distinction in
the case Of Cuba, since it is under
stood that Cuba is to be turned over
to the Cubans some time, and mean
while, it seems, it is not to be consid-
cred as territory Of the United States,
but as Cuban territory under our pro-
tectorate Thus, it is supposed, we
may make what tariffs we please, re-
gardless Of the constitutional provi-
sion referred to.
But Puerto Rico or any other Span
ish islands Or parts of islands we have
taken are to become parts of the ter
ritOry of the United States at once
and it will not be possible to give
them separate tariffs In the case OF
Cuba if we shall recognize it as free
and Independent, we shall have nc
more business than any other power
to dictate its customs laws.
1t has been suggested that it will
be necessary to hold all territory ia.
ken from Spain under military govern
ment for a considerable time for the
purpose of preserving order, and tina
so long as it is under military govern
ment the Constitutional provision will
apply to it only so far as compatibl,
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-08-09

with military will; hence the infer
ence that SO long as military rule lasts
the President, as chief,
may make such tariff regulations as
he sees fit.
If this view were tenable the Presi-
dent would make tariff rates accord
ing to his own ideas, and we might
expect to see the Santiago arrange
ment revised in the interests of the
protected monopolies, the main props
OF the Presidents party. That view.
however, is not correct. The fact o.
military government in no way af-
fects the constitutional provision in
regard to uniform customs and ex-
cises That provision holds good al
ways, no matter what kind of govern
ment may be necessary for thu time
being in territory.

.S IN THOSE "OTHER ISLANDS"

Attention has been called to the por-
ton of the terms of peace where the
President requires Spain to abandon
Cuba and cede to the United States
Puerto Rico land other Islands under
Spanish sovereignty in the West In
dies"
Except Cuba and Puerto Rico there
are no islands under Spanish sover-
eighty" in the West Indies. Botn
Cuba and Puerto Rico are fianked on
all sides by small islands, some OF
them a few square miles in extent,
some a few mere coral reefs pro-
iecting above the crests Of the waves.
But all the islands in the Cuban arch
ipelago are a part of Cuba All the
islands in the Puerto Rican archipel-
ago are a part of Puerto Rico. When
Cuba is abandoned by Spain the Isle
of Pines and all other adjacent islets
and keys are abandoned. When
Puerto Rico is coded to the United
States the cession covers all the land
above water along its coasts as far
Spanish jurisdiction extends.
The surp.usage attributed to Mr.
Mckinley, but probably the work OF
Squire" Day, of Canton, is ridicu-
ious.

THE VOLUNTEERS, SERVICE

1t has been stated that Congress
would have to be called in extra ses-
sion Immediately upon the conclusion
of the treaty of peace in order to keep
in service sufficient force to garri-
sen cur new possessions and Cuba and
the Philippines. Otherwise the VOL
unteer army, we are told, would have
to be mustered out with the conclu-
sion of the terms of peace, because
they had enlisted only 'for the war"
This is an erroneous notion. Con-
gress need not be called together for
any such purpose, even after the final
ratification of peace
The Presidents first call for 1885,
600 men expressly declared that the
men were to enlist ''to serve for two
years, unless sooner discharged"
Since the men have accepted this
stipulation, they could not claim any
legal right to be discharged before rem
dering their two years of service, no
matter when the war ended.
1t will be readily seen, therefore,
that it will not be necessary to call
Congress together before the regular
time for assembling in December in
order to raise armies for occupation.
Congress has plenty of time to attend
to that matter 1t is far more import
ant that Congress should be convened

THE SECOND ARMY CORPS
Will Be Permanently Encamped at Thor
oughfare Gap, Va-Health Improving.


Washington, August S.-The Second
army corps will be permanently en-
camped at Thoroughfare Gap, Va. The
Second division, now at Bristow, Va,
will start on Tuesday. The First di-
vision, now at Dunn Loring, will have
to wait for wagon trains, and proba-
bly, cannot start before Sunday. Thor
oughfare Gap is about twelve miles
from Manassas Junction.
General Davis announced that the
Second division will be encamped at
Beverly Mills, Thoroughfare Gap, Va,
where an abundant supply of water
can be secured for all purposes. Ra-
lions will be reshipped to that point
by rail, and the wagon trains will start
in advance Of the troops, in order that
preparations can be made for their ar
rival. There are eighteen men in the
field hospital None of them will be
sent to Fort Mayer. Great indigna-
ton is expressed by the Tennessee
troops by the sensational reports of an
attempted assault On a little girl by
member Of that regiment while at
Clinton. The report is wholly unfound-
ed and General Davis denies that such
a thing took place. Other reports
about the slaughter Of cattle are in
cluded in the denial.
General Butler will remove the First
division from Dunn Loring to Thor

chance for a practical miner with httle
ready money to get hold Of genuine
producing mine that there Is in Califor-
mia today, The Little Maggie has been
worked of and on in a primitive hand-to-
mouth way for several years, but never
to any great depth. Most of the work has
been drifting and STOPPING. above the

The claim is 1900 feet long, with the ledge
IN sight every foot Of the way and we will
forfeit $500 IL there Is foot of 1t In which
there is not gold. The average yield In
the arastra, extending over a period OF
four years, has been about $O to the ton
of ore. The best ore, and most OF 1t, has
been found at the greatest depth-that is.
below the water level We are convinced,
not only from our own experience, put
from that Of the Good Hope. the Gavilan
and other mines in the immediate neigh
borhood, that depth is all that Is neces-
sary to insure q great mine. Neither OF
the mines mentioned had at a like depth
with the Little Maggie anything like the
showing the latter has. And the water,
though troublesome to us, because we lack
machinery with which to take care OF It.
is in itself valuable. II. could be sold for
good price any day, though. OF course, 1t
will be needed on the property whenever
mill is put up. There is enough to run

property Is in every way an interesting
one. We offer 1t for sale simply because
we haven't the means to develop 1t as
it ought to be to be profitable. We will
