secret society and the open opposition
of the Empress TO the continuance of
the treaty ports as such, are the direct
result of the Russian influence.
Whatever eventuates, 1t is assumed,
will cover mammoth movement by
Russia of international significance
and importance.
In the meantime, the lives of white
missionaries are apparently in danger,
and all the msratime Powers are ex-
pected to participate in any movement
looking to the protection of lives. 1t
is understood that American assistance
through its military, if not actually
solicited would be approved by every
European nation with the possible ex-
ception Of Russia and France.
The vast Importance of such inter
vention can be readily foreseen. 1t
would involve the United Stats In the

Any combined force of marine that

land, would be insufficient to ad-
vance into the interior.
1t Is the earnest hope of official and
diplomatic Washington, with few ex-
ceptions, that the vast preparations
now under way will have the desired
effect of curbing the Dowager Empress
and the society she is momentariJy
catering to from taking action calcu-

Company Organizing to Work a Rich Vein
Atlanta, Ga. THE Nacoochee Min
ing and manufacturing company, with
headquarters and main office in At

gold mine in White County Superior

and J. W. Goldsmith are among the
signatures attached to the application
for the charter. 1t is claimed by the
owners that the richest veins of gold
ore east of the Rocky mountains are
located on the property. Inere are
several large gold mines in the imme-
diate vicinity of the property, all ol
which are paying handsomely.

THE CONTEST SUIT.

The amended answer of the republi-
cans In the Beckham-Taylor consolidat-
ed suit involving the oovernorship was
filed with Judge Field in the circuit
court. 1t has been in preparation by
Governor Bradley, Judge Yost and
other attorneys since Judge Fields's re.
cent decision declaring Ills court had
no jurisdiction in the case and that
his court would not review the action
of the legislature seating Beckham.
The amended answer is made princi-
pally to perfect the record before the
case is taken to the court of appeals,
and it possible to the United States su-
preme court. This purpose is shown
by an elaboration in the answer of the
constitutional points which were raised
in the reo.zs suit before Judge Taft at
Cincinnati. 1t is asserted that even If
the proceedings Of the Legislature SO far
have conformed to the state constitu-
tiun they are in violation of sections 8
and IA of the federal constitution
which forbid the exercise of arbitrary
power by the state or any department
thereof, whereby any person may be de.
prived of life, liberty or property, IN
Guiding therein the enjoyment of hon
ors and the occupation of positions of
trust and emoluments. From violation
of this principle, it is declared, the de-
PENDANTS have suffered. The power of
the Legislature to determine contests
for the Office of governor and lieuten-
ant governor is held to be judicial IN
nature and subject to the same restric-
tions and limitations to which judo ial
power is ordinarily subjected.
The next most important contention
relates to the conditions in Frankfort
at the time Gov. Taylor issued his
proclamation adiourning the legisla-
ture to London, KY, the purpose being
to attack the validity of anything done
by the legislature while that proclaim
alton was in force. 1t is declared in
tense excitement existed following the
