HAS NO JURISDICTION.

major Wilson Loses His Case Before The
United States Supreme Court---The
Governors Right to Remove Members
OF The Railroad Commission Sustained
by The Decision--The Contempt Charge
Against Caldwell Also Dismissed.
WASHINGTON, March 2I.-In the
United States Supreme Court to day
the case Of ]. w. Wilson VS.. the State
of North Carolina, in relation of L. @.
Caldwell, was dismissed on the ground
that the court was without jurisdic
ton. The case involves the right of
the Governor of North Carolina to re
move members Of the railroad commits
sion from office under the State Law
OF 1891, and this right was sustained
by to days decision. Mr.. Wilson was
formerly chairman of the railroad com
mission and was summarily removed.
on the ground that he was a railroad
stakeholder, contrary to law, and L @.
Caldwell appointed in his stead. Mr..
Wilson refused to vacate and Mr.. Cald-
well began a quo Warranto proceeding
against him to test the title to the
Office.
The State courts decided against
Wilson's contention, and this view was
practically sustained by the decision
rendered to day, holding the United
States court to be without Jurisdiction.
Justice Peckham, in deciding the case,
said that al the Cfice was exclusively
a State office, the United States Court
had to deal only with the question
whether Mr.. Wilson was deprived of
any right guaranteed by him by the
Federal constitution. He had not been
so deprived, and accordingly the court
vas without jurisdiction.
The case also involved a proceeding
on motion of Mr.. Wilson to punish Nj.
Caldwell for contempt in proceeding
upon the judgment of the State court,
while the case was pending in the Uni
ted States Court. This was also dis
missed, because it appeared that Cald
well was ignorant of the fact that the
court had taken cognizance of the con
tempt proceeding.

VERY CRITICAL TIME.
LOOKING FOR WAR--COURT'S
FINDINGS, ANNOUNCED--THE
VITAL FEATURE OF TaE
DAY,

The Maine Was Blown Up By an Outside
Explosion, Probably by a Floating
Mine--Spain Officially Cables That
This is Not So, That the Disaster Was
of Internal Origin.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-The court
Of inquiry appointed to Investigate the
cause of the Maine disaster, hasreport,
ed that the loss of the battleship was
due to an outside explosion. The State
Department, by direction of the Presi
dent, has cabled Minister Woodford, at
Madrid, to notify the Spanish govern
ment Of this conclusion. The President
and his cabinet advisers held two ex-
tended sessions to day, one at 10: 80 a..
m, and another at $50 p. M, at which
the report was considered in detail
Members of the cabinet stated after the
meeting that the discussion was of a
grave character, and that never since
the wrecking of the Maine has the stu
alton seemed 80 critical.
The Spanish government has cabled

to the Maine to be Of internal origin.

stated positively, if not disposed to

ceeding from the Canaries and would
be disinclined to consider q suggestion
from this government tending to inter

her own naval forces.
According to President McKinley's
present plan, on Tuesday he will send
a message to Congress announcing that

Congress for a large appropriation for
supplies to be sent to Cuba, in mer

it is the purpose Of the United States
to put az end to the horrors Of the

Only Alcohol Wrecks More Lives Than
Broken Engagements.
In the April Ladies' Home Journal
Edwin W. Box writes on 1.-The Answer
of Girls Life" discussing the allega-
ton made against the American girl
that she thinks lightly Of the impor
tance Of her betrothel. The ,
trothal," Mr.. Box asserts, SHOULD be
just as sacred as the marriage. 1t is
is the gravest of the two steps which
bind two people together, because it
is the initiative. O1ly the most ex-
traordinary circumstances justify a
breaking of the betrothal. Only one
other agency in life-elcohol-is re
sponsible for more broken hearts and
wrecked lives than broken engage
ments. It is highly necessary that our
girls should have a perfectly clear
idea of what a betrothal means, or
should mean, if it is a betrothal in the
sight of God. A hasty impulse, the
temporary swaying of a tumultuoue,
Youthful passion, the confusion of ad-
miration for affection, the mistakiDg of
respect for love: these are not safe
grounds for betrothothals. 1t is never
to the credit of a girl, in the ayes of
men, that she has been engaged two or
three times. Girls should remember
that. Too often they think that men
feel otherwise, or, perhaps do not care.
But men do: that is, the men worth
marrying. A man looks upon an Oft
engaged girl as he does upon a peach
with much of the bloom rubbed off.
Besides, men, generally, conclude that
there is something wrong with such q
girl. The right kind of q girl will be.

For awhile the press seemed to be
unanimous in it's praise of "Quo Vadis,"
one of the most popular novels Of the
day. Now, it is charged that it Isl
teacher of inf1delity and immoral in
many ways. The Laurinburg Elk
change says: Summed up what have
we-gems in the wallow that we can
not go in after without soiling our
clothes" We have not read the book,
and, judging by comments, we
think we can make better use of our
time by reading something else.
Leigh's striking picture from real
life-"A Police Station Breakfast, is
the frontispiece of Scribner's Magazine
for April, and gives the note of Mr.
Wyckof's second chapter of 'The
Workers-The West" It is a revela
ton Of the underworld of Chicago
the world of barrel houses" dives,
station-houses, chance jobs, and free
lunches-where, the author asserts, 'fe
world all bright with hope can be had
on the terms of heat and food" These
were the darkest hours OF Wyckof's
experiment and he had almost decided
to abandon it, when the mere habit Of
'trying it a little longer" kept him to
his task.

 MT. Mcdonald stopped cme time at the new camp Of RusselEille wh ch has sprung up at the scene of the rec1nt erich strike in Cochise county. The camp derived its name from a man named Russell who grub -staked the is not much to say about the strike said MT. Mcdonald. ''It looks very encouraging on the surface, but the. e is very little work done so far to de- termine the values below. The lead is in a contact of porphyry and dioTite and the values are found in kidneys ranging in width from six inches to two feet. The ores are wolframite, and contain sixty-three per cent values in that mineral, besides extremely rich values in silver. The ores also carry gold but the quantity is small on the surface although it is believed that

there will be greater values in the god product as the mine is devalcpeJ. Tn is considerable scope count y where he ledge shows cutcrC pines, but the principal work has been dons oI the discovery claim which is owned by Messrs. Drake and Maxwell and the man named Russell who gained a one third interest through a grubstake. I believe. It will nc doubt bee me a va uable property.
 "Mr John Brockman part owner Of the Pierce mine, has secured several claims adjoining the discovery claims which he proposes 10 develop. The n3w strike has created some excitement in southern Arizona, and a great many mining men have visited the place in the past few weeks. In CCch Sc county there is a permanency in the mines which strikes the visitor. The Pie ce, the Copper Queen mines and a nun be- of other producers are good examples of this. When you find goo1 su face indication in that county you can de- pend that there is something even better below the surface. In ether words, the mines 'go down. The fa- vcTable nature of the walls which en- close the wolframite ores Of the new strike give the property additional
 
 tendency to give way to pressure easily and the ledge is liable to expand lower down."
 The wolframite ores prodUc7 valu- able substance fer hard n ng st el, and this mineral is TOW iE g. a mand. Ccchise county so far has he Onlv pro- ducing mines in Arizona of this char acter Of ore, but there are said t. ba other deposits in the territory which are yet undevelcped. A typical sample of wolframite is composed of the fol- lowing minerals: Tungsten trioxide, l 76.47; iron protoXide, 9.49; manganese prctcxide, 14.04; So 1t will be seen that the values Of wolfIamite in the new strike of sixty-three ger cent are extremely high, and without the si.v1r and gold product would become a i most profitable mining property. The ! ores from the. new strike are being treated at the University of Ar z-na i1 the mining department.
