Richmond, Va. Feb. 2.-The fight OF
Thomas +. Ryan for IN injunction to
prevent the Seaboard Air Line from
carrying out Its consolidation plans was
resumed this morning before Judge Ed
mund Waddlll, in the United States
Circuit Court. and the oratory on the
subject continued nearly the entire
day.
The first tilt was over the admission
of certain aiIidavits. one referring to
the earnings capacity OF the Georgia
and Alabama railroad and the Florida
Central and Pcninsular railroad, the
others. one referring to the laws of
North Carolina regarding the govern
ment OF corporations, another referring
to the proceedings Of the meeting OF the
stockholders OF Raleigh and CASTOR
railroad. held January 81, 1900.
a LIVELY DISCUSSION.
There was lively discussion, in
which Messrs. NTarbury and Carter and
Judges Cross and Lewis participated.
Judge Waddill ruled that the last two
only were pertinent and would not al
low the filing of the first of the afil-
davits. as the hearing was only on the
amended bill. and the first affidavit be-
longed to the original bill.
The hearing of the argument was
then begun. Mr.. w. l. Marbury, OF
Baltimore, opening for Mr.. Ryan. MIR.
Ryan contended that the consolidation
of the roads was being planned and
carried out despite reports and state.
ments to the contrary.
while the defendants stated that
they did not intend to consolidate until
proper Legislation had been secured
from the State OF Virginia allowing the
consolidation to be Effected, now this
legislation has been secured, IL con-
solidation is not now Intended. then

lish language"
Mr.. NIarbury also rend from the affl-

Elemental bill of the complainant, and
cited the resolutions passed by the
stockholders of the Seahoard and Roa-
noke at their meeting. Mt Portsmouth.
on January 10th. and the resolutions
adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Scaboard and Roanoke January

however. than. the appropriations for
Indian schools, where an effort was in
nugnrated by Mr.. Fitzgerald, OF New
York, to permit the Secretary Of In
terror TO contract with schools for the
education of Indian children where the
Government lacks facilities. The sys-

the cause of a big row each year, has
been gradually abandoned until no ap-
preparation is made for them in this
bill. 1t is claimed that present Indian
school facilities are inadequate.
