W. B. Brack while Jay Good appears
for the defendant. Capt. Beall repre-
seuts the Pierson estate and Judge
Peyton Edwards the Campbell Real
Estate company, while Zeno b. Clardy
represents HE own interest in the
case.
The suit is a very complicated one
and may present many points of inter-
est to lawyers.
IS THE LAND IN MEXICO?
When the case was called Attorney
Good sprang a small sensation by de-
murring to the jurisdiction of the
court. Several grounds were offered,
but the chief one, and the only one
that attracted attention, as a claim
that the land in question was located
not in the state of Texas, but in the
republic of Mexico.
There Is controversy on this sub
ject, and a suit involving this question
Is now pending, and Mr.. Good is at
torney for the plaintiff, a Mr.. Warner.
From this it is thought that he was
trying to kill two birds with one stone.
1t is contended that when the treaty Of
Guadalupe-Hidalgo was negotiated the
| channel of the river was near where the
courthouse now stands, which, if true,
means that a considerable portion OF
this city is in the stale of chihuahua,
Mexico, thus bringing about the sew
erance from the state of Texas, so
earnestly desired by some of the citi-
zens. .
WheE the objection was sprung mo st
OF the crowd in the courtroom we're
inclined to regard it as a joke but Mr..
Good was perfectly serious and pro-
ceeded to argue it at length and the
court listened. Mr.. Good pointed out
that there was dispute as to the loca-
ton of the boundary and that the two
countries had O commission at work to
determine it. Pending their decision
he said, all suit must remain in abey.
epce. He cited several decisions in
support of this position, the chief be-
ing one of the United States supreme
court, in regard to a vessel seized in
Behring Sea. The Uoited States then
claimed jurisdiction over the entire sea
but the claim was disputed by Great
Britain and the court held that all
suits must remain in allegiance until
the main question of jurisdiction was
settled.
No reply was made to Mr.. Goods
| motion.

COST OF MILITARISM.
Two Hundred Millions for the Army;
Seventy-Five Millions for tho
Navy Is What McKin-
ley Wants.
DEMANDS ARMY OF 100000 MEN

We are at last to know what we are
to pay for our experiment in imperial
ism.
The Washington government has
made its demand, 1t demands an army
of 100000 men and 1t wants $200,000,-
600 for the next year to support it's
pretensions.
The navy department wants s75,0O0,-
600. Ths end is far away. This is
only the beginning Of what American
taxpayers may expect.
To support the army and navy until
the end OF the fiscal year, June 30,
1902. congress will be asked to appro-
pirate more than 5000, 10000. The
war department is estimating on the
basis of 100000 men.
Under the present law all volun-
teers and regulars in excess of about
10000 men must be discharged before
July !. 1901, and Quartermaster-Gen
eral Ludington is making arrange
ments for the transportation home of
the volunteers, beginning next month.
ments to take the place of the volun-
teers in case more troops are author
ized, and when they are ready for ac-
tive service they must be transported
to Manila.
The pay of the army will be what
was estimated for the current year
SAT 100000. There will be heavy bill
for clothing, medical and hospital
stores, ordnance, ordnance stores and
supplies and regular supplies for the
quartermaster's department. The es-
innate made by Commissary- General
Weston for subsistence stores for the
current fiscal year was S11,112,242, and
this will be exceeded.
Secretary Roots estimate for the
military establishment for the current
year aggregated $12S, ,5S3, and 1t
will undoubtedly be larger for the next
fiscal year.
