TROUBLE NEARLY SETTLED.
ia-Maryland Dispute About
AGiusted-Nice Questions Decided.

Governor Tyler has about succeeded in
having adjusted the trouble between
Maryland and Virginia over the recent
arrest Of alleged pirates from Maryland
in the waters of that State by the Vir-
ginia police boat.
His Excellency stated last night that
there had been considerable correspon-
dence between Governor Lowndes and
himself on the subject. and that the mat
ter had now assumed a shape which
made him confident that the affair would
be adjusted along lines entirely satisfac-
tory to both States. He thought pre-
cedent would be established and a princi-
pie recognized that would prevent the
recurrence OF the trouble.
Governor Tyler has recently been en-
gagged in study of the question as to
whether he had the right to grant con-
ditional pardon to n prisoner serving a
Jail sentence. The question was raised
by an attorney of Lynchburg. After a
thorough investigation the Governor
reached the conclusion last night that he
had the legal right to grant pardons to
such prisoners.
The question has also been raised re-
Gently as to the right of the Governor
TO remit a fine. The law allows him only
to remit fines assessed for contempt OF
court, and this authority Is not delegated
to him In cases of fines for contempt of
an order of the court. The question as to
whether the Governor has the right to
pardon a prisoner serving a term as the
alternative OF paying a fine assessed Is
still undecided.

When the late sale TO the Williams

a further prosecution OF the case unne-

Mr.. Ryan, In which he prayed for writ

the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad Com
pany 10 allow him. as a large stockholder
In that company, TO inspect the books OF
the company in connection with certain
charges which he was making against the
then management Of the company. Since
the institution of that suit the manage

is no occasion for the further prosecution
OF this case. For that reason the suit Is
withdrawn.
OF course, II the same state OF affairs
were to grow up under the new manage
ment at any time. Mr. Ryan could renew
the suit. but 1t Is not anticipated that
any such occasion will arise.
CASE IN THE MARYLAND COURTS.
The dismissal of these suits do not affect
the suit which is now pending in the
courts Of Maryland, in which Mr.. Ryan
seeks to compel the delivery OF between
5000 and 1900. shares of the Seaboard stock
by his contract with Messrs. McLane and
others. That case will be prosecuted to Il
final decision in the Court of Appeals of
