District Court VIII Likely Take n
Hand When the Application for
Judgment Against Owners of
Property on Chestnut Street
Comes Up for Hearing-Names of
the DIRECTORS.
The talk made about there being a
combine in the laying of brick paving
will probably be investigated in the dis
trict court when the application for
judgment against the owners of property
on Chestnut street, between Seventh and
the Milwaukee tracks, is made next
week. The theory that there was a
combine" is alluded to in the objections
filed against the taking of judgment on
the assessment yesterday. Objections of
property owners against the application
for judgment which will be made to the
district court on the assessment for the
paving Of Chestnut street with brick were
filed with the corporation attorney The
DIRECTORS are M. P. Ryan, ]. c. Mayan,
Charles Eaton, H. r. Hoyt, c. E. Dick
erman, w. @. Taylor, Helen e. Driscol,
William Seng, Helen G Stone, estate of
II. r. Bigelow and Edward L. Welles.
The objections made are similar to those
put forward by the property owners on
Cedar street, that the board of public
works had no jurisdiction; that the prop
erty cannot be assessed for a repaving
of the street; that the assessment was
not made as to the benefits to the prop
erty, but the entire cost was divided by
the frontage of the property and the
assessment made on this basis

MIR. MAGoON's OPINION.
Furnished Arguments Asked for by
the War DEPARTMENT.

The War Department has complied with
the recent resolution of the House of Rep
resentatives calling for an opinion by Mr..
Magoon, law officer of the insular division,
relative to the extension of the Constitu-
ton over Porto Rico. The opinion was
given in May, 1899. After referring to
Spain's cession of the island the opinion
says:
.'Thereupon the territory conveyed be-
such subject to the Constitution. No
further action by Congress was necessary
or possible. The Constitution does not de-
pend upon Congress for authority in any
part of the United States. The reverse of
time on, Congress must look to the Con-
stitution for authority to legisate for
Porto Rico"
Mr.. Meiklejohn in transmitting the opin-
ion says that when criticisms were made
on the practice of the War Department in
maintaining the tariff schedule adopted by
the military government, he requested Mr..
Magoon to furnish him a statement OF the
arguments against the continuance Of the
practice. Mr.. Meiklejohn adds:
The request was complied with by the
preparation of memorandum. This memo
randum was not made in any case pending
in the department. 1t was entirely unoffi-
cial and intended for personal use. Upon
consideration the argument against contin-
uance was not considered to be well
founded, and no change was made in said
tariff regulations"
Subsequently, Mr.. Meiklejohn says, Mr..
Magoon furnished an opinion on the gem
eral subject, which has been made public.

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
Consul Fee Presents Startling Facts
to the state Department.

The State Department has made public,
through the consular reports, one Of the
reports upon which 1t based it's statement
to the Navy Department relative to the
famine in India This particular report is
from United States Consul Fee at Bombay,
and presents some startling figures to Illus
trate the extent of the visitation. Mr.. Fee
says that Notwithstanding the season Of
acute distress has hardly commenced. the
returns far exceed those recorded during
the initial stages of the famine three years
ago. 1t then affected only 100000 persons;
now the figure is 3,5OO,0OO. and the daily
expenditure is placed at $4,000. The
famine area covers 100000 square miles,
with a population of 40.OO0,OO0. and there
is further area of about $4,000 square
miles, with population of 21.0OO.0O0. in
which more or less scarcity and distress
prevail, and where relief already has been,
or will be- given. The consul says that the
applications for relief are overtaXing the
state authorities and increasing at ap-
palling rate. The number of applicants at
the relief works during the last week in
January increased 100000 and brought up
the total to 3.500.000. and the most trying
period was still two months distant. In
conclusion the consul expresses the fear
that the South African war will so divert
the attention and contributions Of English
men to oblige India alone to fight the
plague ard famine.

region and drive them along with the divf-

beef supply. We gathered in about a thou
sand cattle, and regular herders and driv-
ers were appointed to take care Of them.
None of the steers were to be killed when
other supplies were at hand or could be
secured. We left Clinton on May s, 1854,
and marched by way Of Atlanta to Hunts
